Chapter 1123: Chapter 1128: Irreplaceable

Yang Yi bought another RS6, and it was indeed Petra who paid for it.

They say having a rich wife could save you thirty years of hard work, which is indeed true, but the problem is, if you want a beauty to gift you an RS6, first you yourself must be able to afford a Ferrari, and moreover, you have to be handsome.

The key is you must be handsome.

Being just handsome isn’t enough; you also need to be good at talking.

Actually, being good at talking might not be enough, but anyway, if you have the skill to make a rich beauty gift you a luxury car, you probably wouldn’t care about the car anymore.

So for Yang Yi, this car really wasn’t a big deal; it was just a gift from his girlfriend, simply because she felt like giving him something, just like how ordinary people feel like gifting their girlfriends a stuffed toy, no difference.

These past few days Petra has been very busy looking for a new house for her and Yang Yi to live in, while Yang Yi himself drove the brand new RS6 alone to the safe house that Anton had recently had set up.

Boer came, and Anton went to pick him up. It wasn’t suitable for Yang Yi to go to the airport himself, so he could only meet Boer in the safe house.

Actually, Yang Yi didn’t want Boer to come to New York; it was too dangerous. Till now, Yang Yi still wasn’t clear about who was after Boer’s life. The things Boer had revealed and what Yang Yi could see were just the tip of the iceberg.

The waters behind Boer were too deep.

That’s why Yang Yi preferred Boer to control everything from behind the scenes and not show up personally, but Boer still came because he really had no choice.

Boer came with Norbert, and of course, Chris was with them too.

In the Invasion-2014 plan, two of the three couldn’t show their faces; even though Yang Yi had CIA’s help, which resolved the issue of Chris’s identity, Boer’s identity still absolutely had to remain a secret.

But in order to return to New York, Boer had indeed made significant changes.

Boer had plastic surgery, not to look better, but that kind of surgery meant to deceive everyone. The moment he decided he had to return to New York, the plastic surgery had already begun.

Even with Yang Yi’s memory, the moment he saw Boer, he couldn’t immediately recognize the person in front of him as Boer.

"The plastic surgery was very successful."

Boer looked at least ten years younger, his hair color had changed, the shape of his nose had changed, his lips were different, his ears were not the same, even his eyes, which were the hardest to change, looked very different from before.

Even to those who knew Boer very well, seeing the current Boer, they absolutely couldn’t recognize him, unless they spent some time with him, only then they might be able to connect the current Boer with the Boer of the past.

Because even Boer’s physique was different from before, but Yang Yi already knew that, because Boer had always been consistent with his fitness, and was very committed and professional about it.

Boer, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, smiled and said, "This isn’t plastic surgery; my name is now John, John Felton."

Yang Yi laughed: "That really is a very common name."

Sitting next to Boer, Yang Yi scrutinized him for a long time, nodding his head and said, "Very good, as long as you don’t appear in front of the public, staying here shouldn’t pose too much danger. Try to go out as little as possible, have you perfected changing your gait and stuff?"

Boer shrugged and said, "Of course, I’ve been training. Don’t forget I’ve had the best teacher."

Yang Yi clapped his hands and then excitedly announced, "Great, since you’re ready, I declare Operation Invade 2014 officially begins."

After a moment, Yang Yi said helplessly, "Even if you don’t clap, shouldn’t your expressions show something? Why does everyone look so calm, and only I am excited?"

Chris murmured, "Operation Invade 2014? What kind of name is that?"

Yang Yi frowned and replied, "That’s the name Anna came up with, have any objections?"

Chris shrank his head back and said, "No objections, no objections at all."

Yang Yi turned to Boer, "Alright, now you explain in detail what we need to do."

Boer adjusted the glasses he wasn’t quite used to yet and calmly said, "We have ample funds and me. Preparation work is done, nothing to talk about there. As for the target, I have chosen Bell Securities."

Yang Yi spread his hands and said, "Good, firstly your target isn’t your own bank, and secondly, it’s not Petra’s father’s AmeriInvest Bank, that would be awkward for me."

Boer continued indifferently, "You want to talk or should I?"

Yang Yi quickly replied, "You talk, you talk."

Boer took a breath and said, "The characteristic of an investment bank is that all business activities carry high risks. Accordingly, the market is extremely sensitive to risks. If all investors believe that Bell Securities is doomed, then Bell Securities really is doomed."

Although not understanding fully, Yang Yi still listened to Boer very attentively as he continued.

Boer spoke indifferently, "After the subprime crisis, the whole of Wall Street became much more cautious, but greed remains Wall Street’s perpetual theme. And Bell Securities, I know their investments are not healthy; they have many vulnerabilities that can be exposed, and I understand this well."

"Continue."

Boer smiled and said, "But choosing Bell Securities as the target is also because of Bell Securities’ President, Larry Bell. Larry Bell is the most personably beautiful banker I’ve met, highly capable and very well-connected. Even during the subprime crisis, his good relationships within the political and banking sectors allowed him to sail through the crisis smoothly."

Yang Yi gave a bitter smile and said, "I thought you were going to say he was a jerk."

Boer spoke indifferently, "He is a jerk, it’s just that ordinary people don’t see him that way. The reason I chose Bell Securities is because Larry Bell is the soul of Bell Securities. If he falls, Bell Securities is finished."

Yang Yi was taken aback and said, "I see, you want to target Larry Bell? You want to get rid of him!"

Boer nodded, speaking solemnly, "We only have several billion dollars, which is just enough to leverage an investment bank worth hundreds of billions, but to really take over the entire bank, we certainly need to employ other methods. Having money is the base, but taking out the soul of Bell Securities is the most crucial tactic."

Boer looked at Yang Yi and said, "If we don’t take some extralegal measures, how can we expect returns several times over? That’s why I chose Bell Securities because Larry Bell plays an irreplaceable role in this bank’s board. If Larry Bell dies, we have a chance. If he doesn’t die, all the money in the world won’t give us a chance."

Yang Yi said without hesitation, "Alright, then let’s take him out, but we need to use methods that no one can detect, right?"
