Chapter 37 - 37 Operation Christmas Eve
Chapter 37: Operation Christmas Eve
After a good night's sleep, Hardy suddenly felt itchy on his face, touching it with His hand. Hardy grabbed a delicate little hand and opened his eyes.
It's dawn outside.
Sunlight shines into the room from the window.
Ava Gardner was lying next to him, her shoulders half covered by the quilt, and she was teasing Hardy with her hands, but he grabbed her.
The woman's beautiful big eyes looked at him.
"What's wrong, Ava? Why are you looking at me like that?" Hardy asked with a smile at the woman.
"Hardy, I just thought about it. Why don't I leave my management contract with you? Haven't you already established a management company? I will be your contracted artist." Ava Gardner said.
"I don't have time to manage artists." Hardy spread his hands.
"Then I'm free to do what i want, as long as you think about me when you see any opportunity that's enough for me" Ava Gardner said with a smile.
Hardy thought for a moment.
In fact, it's not too much trouble to set up a brokerage company. It's not a big deal to recruit a few brokers.
"Okay, then I will find a few agents and set up a brokerage company. Then I will change your contract and split it 50-50. This is the treatment of a big star in Hollywood." Hardy looked at the woman and said,.
"Thank you, boss." Ava Gardner said it with a happy face.
...
Today is Christmas.
It's a day of carnival in the city, with floats passing by on the streets, shopping malls full of people, and the song "White Christmas" playing on the gramophone.
Hardy is enjoying his first Christmas in this world, but someone is not idle.
The Spanish gang's casino was robbed, and they lost more than 200,000 US dollars in cash. The casino was bombed, and many of their men were killed, so the casino had to temporarily close down.
Dani sent people around to look for the murderer and even issued a reward for the murder, but so far there were no clues, which made him very annoyed.
"Berstein, how is that batch of goods?" Dani asked his military advisor.
"It should already be at sea, It's still the same route as before, the big ship sails offshore and then takes a small boat to the dock." Burstein said.
Dani turned the cigar in his mouth and ordered, "The transaction volume this time is five times that of the past. We must ensure safety and not cause any problems."
After doing business for so long, Dani is already familiar with it, but this time it still made him slightly nervous.
After all, the transaction volume this time is far higher than before.
"The personnel are ready. As long as the goods arrive at the port, they will be traded immediately, and the other party will leave with the money. We will deliver the goods to the secret location in less than an hour," Burstein said.
"Well, make sure nothing goes wrong."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in~!"
A small boss of Dani's men named Cranston walked in and said, "Boss, I want to report to you some information that may be related to the robbery of the casino."
These days, Dani has been tracking down the robbery of the casino but there was no clue. Now that Cranston said there was information about the casino robbery, he immediately became energetic.
What information?"
"My men discovered a situation. Do you remember Bill from the Austrian gang? He was the guy who had a conflict with Cook."
"You mean Bill was responsible for the casino robbery?" Dani asked with a frown.
"No, my subordinates found out that Bill has been hospitalized after being injured and has not yet been discharged from the hospital. The information I learned is that after Bill was injured, someone took over Bill's territory. I heard that it was Bill's friend named Jon Hardy."
"Later, Jon Hardy gathered a group of subordinates, all of whom had served in the Marine Corps."
"Then I wondered why Jon Hardy summoned so many men, how he paid them, where he got the money, and what motive he had for doing that. I suspect that he may be the one who attacked our casino.".
Dani narrowed his eyes.
Jon Hardy is a friend of Bill's.
Bill was wounded by Cook, and Cook was killed in a surprise attack that night.
And then this guy named Jon Hardy took over his territory.
Later, a group of former soldiers gathered together, and had some troubles with their Spanish gang. There is indeed a motive for hardy and his group to rob the Spanish casino.
Several thoughts passed through Dani's mind, and he looked at his advisor Burstein and asked, "Do you think it might be this Jon Hardy who did it?"
Burstein thought for a moment, "There is some suspicion."
Dani bit hard. Chewing his cigar, he was worried about the robbery of the casino and said in a deep voice, "Since there is a suspicion, let's investigate it."
After saying that, he looked at Cranston and said, "I leave this matter to you, find a way to figure out if they did the robbery"
"Okay, boss." Cranston happily accepted the task.
If he gets a mission, he will earn money. If the investigation proves that it was indeed the person named Jon Hardy who led the robbery, then he has made a great contribution and is expected to be promoted in the future.
The previous person in charge of the casino was shot to death, and it has not yet opened. If he investigates this matter clearly, he may be able to be the new person in charge of the casino. That is definitely a worry-free job with a lot of women and money.
After Dani finished speaking, he stood up and said to his Advisor Burstein, "Okay, what we just talked about will be carried out according to the previous plan, you will be personally responsible for it."
"I have a party with some big shots tonight, and that group of gentlemen can't be neglected." After saying that, he picked up his hat and walked out.
Cranston and Burstein followed out of the office. When they walked out, Dani and Burstein were walking side by side, and Cranston followed behind, he vaguely heard what Dani said about the dock and the deployment of more manpower.
He didn't care what it meant.
After seeing Dani off, Cranston got into his car. The driver turned around and asked, "Boss, where are you going now?"
"Back to the station."
On the way, Cranston kept thinking about how to complete Dani's mission.
Trying to figure out whether the casino robbery was actually done by Jon Hardy and how, there are no clues unless he admits it himself.
Back at the station, the guy Cranston called to provide him with information, a thief named Naxi, was in his fifties. He looked thin and wretched, and he was dressed sloppily. He looked like a tramp.
Don't underestimate these guys, who live at the bottom of society, these people are often the ones who know the best information, and what happens on the streets rarely escapes their eyes.
"Did you find where they are based?" Cranston asked.
"In the Austrian gang's territory, there is a sweater factory in Grants street, there are about eight or nine people in total going in and out, but not all of them live inside," Naxi said.
Cranston frowned and thought of countermeasures.
Cranston couldn't think of any great plans, in fact, the simplest and most effective way is to rush in and arrest those people, and after questioning them, everything will become clear.
If they dare to resist, they will be killed directly.
If they didn't do it, it's very simple, just pretend it didn't happen.
It doesn't matter if they were soldiers in the past, their experience is useless in the case of a sneak attack.
He now has 6 gangsters under his command and he felt a bit short of people so he picked up the phone and called his friend: "Beckman, are you interested in making a quick money?"
"What kind of job are we going to do?"
"I may have discovered the group of robbers who robbed the casino. i reported it to Boss Dani, and the boss said that I would be fully responsible, If you work with me, we will split the money equally."
What Cranston wants most is the appreciation of Boss Dani so that he can be responsible for the casino. If he really gets the money, he didn't mind giving out half of it to Beckman.
When Beckman heard this, he immediately became interested. If they were really those robbers, they must have a large amount of cash in their hands.
"Count me in!" Beckman said immediately.
"Then get ready and bring your people. Let's take action tonight. Tonight is Christmas Eve. Let's also give it a name and call it 'Operation Christmas Eve.'"
Cranston said this with some pride.
Time flies at night.
On Christmas Eve, the streets were brightly lit and bustling with people, including people shopping and children playing. Two trucks drove through the streets to a remote downtown area.
This is a factory area with relatively few people living there, so even though it's Christmas, it still seems deserted.
Two trucks were parked in front of the factory.
"When we go in later If anyone resists, shoot immediately, but at least leave one or two people alive." Cranston ordered.
His subordinates nodded.
A nimble guy jumped over the wall and quietly opened the door, and a group of people rushed into the factory.
