In the office, Hawke looked through the information brought by Brian.
The four-person team headed by Grant are all from the University of California, Berkeley, the alma mater of Governor Gray Davis. They joined the Science and Innovation Research Society founded by Davis while in school.
To paraphrase Hawke's words from his previous life, for Gray Davis, these four people are considered to be in good standing.
Brian said: "The Bells Strategic Consulting Company they work for was founded by Davis's college classmate. They have been cooperating since Davis first participated in the election. This time they were sent to Los Angeles to mainly target me..."< br>
Thinking of the other party attacking Hawke first, he had to add: "Yes, and you, you are the primary target."
Hawke took out the photos of the four people in the file, pressed them on the whiteboard, and said: "Judging from the situation of Hailey Field and Bella Thain, they are very good at causing trouble and want to kill me directly. It’s no different than killing me.”
This is what Brian is most worried about: "They just killed you, will I be next?"
Hawke wanted to make Brian feel the crisis, saying: "I found nothing on me, and it also aroused my vigilance. The next target will definitely turn to you. According to the information you got, they came here this time, in addition to revenge on Wag The most important thing is to help the current mayor of Covina get re-elected.”
After hearing this, Brian realized that he was very important and the core, and said: "Without me, the current mayor of Covina, Owen Nestor, would have no competitor."
He spent a high salary of 2 million US dollars to hire Hawke just to mess up things and prevent others from doing it: "Should we get rid of them first?"
Hawke thought about the attack planned by Hailey. If he had not had a deep understanding of high-end business wars and was careful enough in daily life, once Bella Thain succeeded, he would really have no words to explain.
"I also think we should get rid of them first. It would be too tiring to have to be on guard all the time." Because he almost turned into a sexual assault, Hawke was more aggressive than before this time: "Find out their residence and itinerary." , before they get fully involved in the Covina campaign, send them where they need to go.”
Brian asked: "Tell me what to do specifically."
Hawke wants to be rough and violent, which is also to show his attitude. If he wants to mess with me, he should consider the consequences first.
He said directly: "There are currently two options."
Brian was a little surprised: "Have you prepared two plans?"
Hawke nodded slightly: "The first method, the simplest and most direct, is to use a dump truck, wait for an opportunity for the four of them to ride in the same car, and crash into them directly. The advantage is that they can be dealt with in one go, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to crash and it is difficult to finish. ”
He has seen similar cases with his own eyes and has already considered it: "There are many unemployed truck drivers who have become homeless. Someone will be willing to do it for $10,000. If you pay more, they will crash and dump them in Latin America to fend for themselves. ”
Brian pondered for a moment and said, "What about the second one?"
Hawk said: "Get some of that stuff, throw it in their car or office or residence, and then call the police. As long as the amount is large enough, the case will definitely be transferred to the Detective Bureau, and we can take the initiative. The problem is that the LAPD rarely directly participates in political disputes. It is difficult for us to get rid of four people at the same time, and this is not something Erica or Julian can solve by doing something privately.”
Brian said: "You are a little aggressive this time."
Hawke said softly: "If their frame-up succeeds, do you know what situation I will face?"
It is not difficult for Brian to think: "Forced to resign from Twitter, facing a protracted lawsuit, completely ruined reputation, failed investment and became a pauper."
"It's more than that." Hawke said seriously: "Will you still cooperate with me then? Will your family still cooperate with me? Will you force Erica to break up with me? Then our cooperative relationship will be comprehensive Collapse, Twitter's equity may also trigger a fight between us, and then you will live and die..."
Brian's expression became equally serious because he understood his family's situation. If this were to be the case, what Hawke said would probably happen.
He continued: "With your ability, it is not difficult to cause trouble for the Ferguson family. They watch us fight to the death, and they can profit from it."
Hawke said coldly: "They planned to completely destroy me from the beginning."
Brian nodded slightly and thought carefully.
This matter couldn't just happen between the two of them in a fit of anger.
Hawke continued: "One more thing, since these people have found me, they must have carefully studied the cases I have handled before. In the past, when I dealt with customers' troubles, I basically focused on strategy and did not use violent methods."
He looked at Brian: "Or do you plan to wait for them to use similar methods to deal with you again? As long as you are eliminated, Owen Nester will have no opponent."
Brian smiled unnaturally: "I'm not as perverted as you, so I can't stand it."
Hawke ultimately depends on Brian's choice.
Of course Hawke would not do this kind of plan without Brian at the front.
The biggest risk must be borne by Brian, after all, he is the direct beneficiary.
Hawke just said: "It is a hundred times easier to take the initiative than to defend passively."
"This is not a trivial matter." Brian, unlike Hawke, thought more: "Let me think about it."
Hawke reminded: "Don't wait too long, they may launch the second round at any time."
Brian nodded: "I know."
Hawke ignored him and walked out of the office to Caroline's room and found that her appearance had changed.
Caroline's golden bangs were gone, her long honey-blond hair was combed into a ponytail on the back of her head, and the clothes she wore were no longer as pink as before, but instead turned into a dark women's suit.
The everyday red high-heeled shoes have also been changed into a more business-like black.
Seeing Hawke sizing him up, Caroline stood up, smiled with two small fangs, and said, "My new look is suitable for my status as operations director, right?"
Hawke chuckled and said: "From a pink little ewe, it turned into a black goat." Caroline's smile froze on her face, and she thought to herself, doesn't the boss like it?
Hawke added: "I'm very busy recently. You are responsible for the daily operations of the company. Frank is down below. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask him for advice."
Caroline knew as soon as she heard that Hawke had something important to do again, and said: "As for the media, if you need anything, just call me."
Hawke waved his hand, turned around and left the director's office.
Caroline quickly ran to the mirror to check her new look, feeling very good about herself.
Does the boss prefer pink ewes to black goats?
But she didn't have time to think too much. A call came from the technical department and there was work to be done.
In Hawke's office, Brian was still considering the pros and cons when his assistant Sandra called.
"Boss, take a look at Twitter." Sandra said urgently: "Someone exposed you through Twitter."
There is an entertainment computer in the office here. Brian used it the last time he came over. He quickly went over to turn it on and asked: "What specifically?"
Sandra said: "Private life."

Brian breathed a sigh of relief. He was not married, so even if he had some fun in private, it wouldn't be a big deal.
He opened Twitter and found that his name was not on the trending news list.
Compared with Will Smith and his wife, Paris Hilton and others, Brian is completely unknown.
Opening the search bar, Brian searched for his name, and a number of news related to him came up. These news basically had the same content.
"Los Angeles Covina mayoral candidate Brian Ferguson is suspected of having AIDS!"
Along with the tweet, there were photos of him holding a woman in and out, as well as a test bill from the hospital.
The latter clearly shows on the charging items that it is an AIDS test!
Below, there are hundreds of words, all of which are comments attacking him.
Brian resisted and checked them one by one.
The content of the article is very clear. As a candidate for mayor of Covina, Brian's private life is extremely disorderly. He has illegally solicited prostitutes many times. He also held an unobstructed group party at his residence in Covina, and was repeatedly harassed by his neighbors. complaint.
That AIDS test fee sheet is the best evidence!
Seeing this, Brian felt uncomfortable all over his body. Not only did he suffer from AIDS phobia, but he also felt like his underwear had been stripped off, and his naked body was exposed in front of everyone without any privacy.
"Fake! Fake!" Brian cursed angrily, took out his mobile phone and dialed Hawke's number: "Come back quickly, something happened!"
Hawke rushed back to the office as quickly as possible. When he entered the door, he saw an angry Brian and asked, "What happened?"
Brian pointed at the computer screen: "I'm being fucked, like a stupid pig that's been skinned, I'm being fucked!"
Hawke came behind him, quickly glanced at the content on the screen, and said: "Someone betrayed you at the clinic where your doctor works."
Brian said: "Yes, only they have this document."
"We'll talk about this later." Hawke picked up the phone and called the technology department: "Kasim, use the new algorithm to reduce the chance of Brian Ferguson appearing as much as possible."
Controlling public opinion on Twitter is only a basic function of the new algorithm.
Hawk hung up the phone and called Caroline again: "Ask the mainstream media in Los Angeles if they want to publish news about Brian."
He looked at Brian: "Do you still have your test report? Ask the media for clarification, but the effect will not be very good."
Brian was quite angry: "I don't have AIDS. If those bastards can get the charge sheet, they can definitely get the test report!"
Hawke said: "A mayoral candidate illegally soliciting prostitutes and contracting AIDS is in line with public expectations. As for the clarified test results, they will think you falsified it."
"Grant's team did it! It must have been them!" Brian became angrier as he thought about it, and said, "I know Owen Nestor, this is not his style."
Hawke said: "We haven't attacked yet, and their attack has arrived again."
Brian was annoyed: "It's all my fault. You reminded me. I've been hesitant."
The phone rang at this time, and Hawke went to answer it.
Caroline called: "Boss, I just asked eight mainstream print media, three of them including the Los Angeles Times, will publish news about Brian tomorrow."
She participated in the last party struggle and knew the inside story: "They all belong to the dark blue camp, I can't handle it."
"I understand." Hawke hung up the phone and said to Brian: "The media in the Deep Blue camp will publish your news on a large scale tomorrow, including the Los Angeles Times."
This is the largest circulation newspaper in the Los Angeles area, with a large number of subscribers in Covina.
Brian felt personal pain, and after a moment of silence he said: "Get rid of them!" (End of Chapter)
