Chapter 561 Newcomer

Lloyd had never brought an entourage before, and even if he had brought some men, he would not have acted in the name of the Pentagon casually. And even if he followed Lloyd, a retired general, the driver would not be so arrogant.

After just a few words, Gao Guang knew that the driver in front of him was definitely not Lloyd's man.

Maybe this driver really came with Lloyd, but they were definitely not the same kind of people.

Morris's matter should be completely settled, and Lloyd or anyone else in the Pentagon would never come to King's Defense, so he could only follow this driver who seemed to have a sense of superiority.

"Mike, drive."

This time Gao Guang would not drive by himself. He nodded to the driver and said, "You lead the way in front, we will follow."

The driver seemed a little surprised and said in astonishment, "I'm driving here, and you still want to..."

"Are you a novice?" Gao Guang interrupted the driver and said in an irrefutable tone, "Lead the way in front."

The driver looked about 27 or 28 years old, a few years older than Gao Guang, but compared with the people Gao Guang often dealt with, he was still young, so it seemed normal for Gao Guang to speak to a rookie in the tone of a rookie.

The driver's expression was a little surprised. He scratched his face subconsciously with his hand, and then he said in a daze, "This is not, you..."

Gao Guang had turned around, and when he got into the car driven by Mike, he waved to the driver again and said, "Lead the way, don't waste time."

The driver closed the window in a daze, started the car, and drove in front to lead the way.

Lloyd would never step into the King's Defense office, because if he was seen or photographed by the King's Defense surveillance, it might be used to make some kind of article.

Similarly, Gao Guang would definitely not get into a strange car.

If he came to invite or meet without prior communication, he might be more likely to be blamed.

Gao Guang took out his phone and called Lloyd. After waiting for the call to be connected, Gao Guang immediately said: "General, are you in Los Angeles?"

"Yes, just arrived, a few hours ago."

"Did you send someone to pick me up?"

"It seems that you have seen him, come with him to see me."

Lloyd is not a person who likes to beat around the bush, so his way of speaking today is a bit interesting. He neither admits nor denies, and uses an ambiguous way to express affirmation, but does not give a direct answer.

Gao Guang thought about it and understood what was going on.

This person was not sent by Lloyd. Lloyd's name was just a cover. There are other big shots who want to meet Gao Guang.

"Okay, see you later, General."

Gao Guang hung up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Mike: "No problem, we may have to negotiate later, but we shouldn't meet and fight."

Mike also breathed a sigh of relief, and then he said with a relaxed look: "That's good, well, that's great."

These two days can be said to be undercurrents, and Gao Guang is definitely not as relaxed as he looks. Although the final result has not yet come out, Lloyd's handling method is still gentle, so there should be no risk of a direct fallout.

The two cars shuttled in the traffic. After driving for about half an hour, the leading car drove directly into a motel, and then the driver got out and knocked on a room door.

Motels are not comfortable, but the biggest advantage is convenience. Choosing such a place to meet often means a quick battle and a quick decision. No matter whether it is a fight or a negotiation, it will definitely not take too long.

The door opened, the driver pushed the door open, and then he made a gesture of invitation to Gao Guang.

Gao Guang entered the room, and when Mike was about to follow him in, the driver suddenly reached out his hand to stop Mike from entering, but he turned around and followed Gao Guang into the room.

Mike frowned and said, "Are you new here?"

When the driver was at a loss and a little overwhelmed, Mike held the driver with one hand and the door with the other, and then said to the driver, "Wait outside with me."

The room was large, but the facilities were old, and it was not even clean.

Lloyd sat on a chair that looked a bit old, but as expected, there was another person in the room, a middle-aged man with a serious expression, who sat next to Lloyd and looked a little impatient.

Lloyd didn't have any expression, but the middle-aged man looked at Gao Guang with a scrutinizing look, and suddenly said, "Are you Mad Dog?"

Lloyd hadn't spoken yet, but the middle-aged man with him couldn't wait to speak, which meant that he didn't care much about Lloyd's status, or in other words, he didn't take Lloyd, who had retired, seriously.

"General, hello, nice to meet you."

Gao Guang did not answer the middle-aged man's knowing question, and respectfully saluted Lloyd.

Lloyd smiled slightly and said to Gao Guang: "Hello, I am really happy to meet you again."

After saying hello, Lloyd pointed to the middle-aged man next to him and said: "This is Lieutenant Colonel Orville from the Joint Staff."

At this time, Gao Guang said to the middle-aged man: "Hello, I am Mad Dog."

Lieutenant Colonel Orville seemed a little annoyed, but due to the strict superior-subordinate relationship in the army and basic military etiquette, he could not say anything to Gao Guang, because that would be a slap in Lloyd's face.

Orville realized that Gao Guang didn't seem to care about him at all, which made him even more angry, so he stood up and said in a very oppressive tone: "Do you know what you have done!"

According to the normal rhythm, whether Gao Guang said he knew it or not, it would be incorporated into Orville's language logic, but Gao Guang did not follow his rhythm.

"General, can I speak?"

Gao Guang actually didn't have any plan. He didn't know whether he would face questioning or punitive treatment from the Pentagon, but he had a principle, that is, since he was not from the Pentagon, he should put himself in the position of Lloyd's collaborator. to respond to all questions.

Unlimitedly elevating Lloyd's status, and pretending to follow Lloyd's lead, this is called hugging the thigh and not letting go. If the sky falls, let someone taller block it.

Ever since he knew that Lloyd had come to Los Angeles in person, this was Gao Guang's only response plan. Otherwise, no matter what attitude he made to the people sent by the Pentagon, it would not be easy to deal with it.

But Lloyd knew that the highlight was being used as a shield, but he was happy with it.

"You can say whatever you know. We are all our own people. It doesn't matter."

Lloyd smiled easily, and his reply was very tactful, but he expressed his protection for Gao Guang. He is one of his own. It doesn't matter what counts as one of his own, but he said that Gao Guang is one of his own. Orville, you put on such a show What are you trying to do with the attitude of wanting to kill?

Gao Guang felt reassured, and he said to Orville: "Well, I'm sorry, can you ask the question more clearly? I don't quite understand what you mean."

"you you……"

Orville, who was furious about this, had never met anyone like Gao Guang before. He was indeed used to being straightforward. But meeting a young man like Gao Guang who pretended to be confused gave him the courage to face the Congress and the government. The feeling of those old foxes in the company.

The script was not like this. It was supposed to be a scolding maniacally, and then a savior-like scolding, but in just three sentences, Orville was so stubborn that he didn't know how to proceed.

Taking a breath, Orville forced himself to calm down, and then he said coldly: "Don't you know what you did in Washington?"

"Oh, you said kill Morris."

Gao Guang spread his hands and said, "This is what I should do."

Orville was really angry. He didn't know whether Gao Guang was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, but either way, it made him very angry.

"You...you dared to take action in Washington! Do you know what kind of price the higher authorities paid to settle the impact of this incident? Now you act like nothing happened, bastard!"

Orville couldn't help but burst out loud. Lloyd frowned, stretched out a hand to press down, and said: "Lieutenant Colonel, be careful to control your emotions."

Orville was really going crazy, because he never expected that the situation would be like this, and the conversation could not proceed at all. As for pointing at the nose of a small arms dealer and yelling, this should be a reasonable thing, but Now it is simply not possible.

There were only two chairs in the room, and there was no place for Gao Guang to sit. Unless he sat on the bed, otherwise Gao Guang would have to stand in front of two people and be scolded with an attitude of being scolded.

But Lloyd stood up. He didn't let Gao Guang sit down. Instead, he walked to Gao Guang's side, stretched out a hand and put it on Gao Guang's shoulder, and said seriously: "Mad dog, you did it in Washington." The matter is huge and troublesome, making us very passive.”

Gao Guang immediately lowered his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, General, I was too impulsive."

Lloyd immediately said: "You are just too impulsive, but... young people can understand it."

Orville couldn't believe his ears, but Lloyd and Gao Guang were standing side by side, and he couldn't even point at Gao Guang and curse.

Orville didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how to proceed.

The original plan was to call the highlighter to scold him, and then decide based on the situation whether the highlighter can still be used. If not, then do whatever you want to do with it. Find a way to make him evaporate, or pull the highlighter out to take the blame. If If it works, just hit the highlighter and scare him half to death. After rounding and flattening it, it will be easy to use.

But Lloyd didn't say anything and directly forgave Gao Guang. He also directly defined Gao Guang as young and impulsive.

what to do?

Orville couldn't, he really couldn't, so he looked at Lloyd and said: "General, you, you..."

Lloyd turned to look at Orville, and then he smiled and said: "Lieutenant Colonel, you are new here and don't know the situation very well. That's it. I'll go to the next room with Mad Dog to talk. quickly."

Lloyd didn't chase Orville away, but he wanted to go next door to talk with Gao Guang. If Orville couldn't see that Lloyd was determined to protect Gao Guang, then he would be really stupid.

Orville took a breath, his face turned livid, and he said solemnly: "No, I'd better go next door. I just want to call the general and report the situation here."

After saying that, Orville strode towards the door. He pulled the door open. After seeing the two people standing at the door, he felt even more angry for some reason, so he closed the door hard.

Mike and the driver who brought him stood on either side of the door.

The driver watched his boss rush into the next room aggressively. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to follow him in to ask. But as soon as he turned around, Mike whispered, "Rookie, if I were you, I would definitely not follow you in at this time."
