Ephraim and David were arrested by the FBI, and what they did was widely spread. At that time, various TV stations reported frantically.
It was not until a week later that the State Council formally prosecuted the two men. The incident reached its peak, and TV stations were scrambling to report on it.
“What happened today is enough to shock the Pentagon.
How did two young men in their 20s secure a large contract with the Ministry of Defense?
Federal agents have formally arrested two people and convicted them of fraud for selling expired and defective Cai Lizi-made bullets to the Department of Defense.
Ephraim has committed more than 70 crimes and is likely to be sentenced to four years in prison if prosecuted.
David stopped because he had committed a crime and voluntarily handed over a large amount of evidence and information. He was given a discretionary verdict. Although he was found guilty, he was only prosecuted with a suspended sentence of 7 months. "
David was still able to work normally and go out to see his masseuse without being too affected.
David was very satisfied with the result and was soon released back to his normal life, carrying his massage box on his back and continuing to run around the rich area every day.
It's not like David hasn't thought about calling Long Zhan, but now he can't leave Miami during his probation period and can't go to work at Titan Company.
There is no way to go abroad to discuss business.
David could only forcefully suppress the urgency in his heart, continue to sit with the masseur to stabilize his living expenses, and wait seven months before calling Long Zhan.
But on the second day after he resumed work, he met an old friend in the hotel.
Henry Girard pretended to be a customer and ordered David's massage service.
As soon as David opened the door, he saw Henry Girard, the man who had originally sent someone with a gun to kidnap him and possibly kill him.
He was stunned for a moment and didn't move for a long time.
"How have you been recently?" Henry Girard took the initiative to say hello.
David didn't reply, looking left and right, as if he was thinking of a way to escape.
"Do not be nervous."
Henry Girard laughed: "If I really wanted your life, you would have died long ago. That big guy can't protect you for the rest of your life."
David thought about it, took a deep breath and said, "There is no problem now, everything has been solved, why are you looking for me?"
"Come in and talk!"
Henry Girard tilted his head, meaning to let David in.
Now that we have reached this point, David is no longer afraid.
He walked to the suite with a massage bag on his back, placed it by the door, walked to the window of the luxurious sea view room, and sat down on the sofa.
"Is your wife okay?"
Henry Girard asked as he poured wine.
"she's fine."
David said calmly.
"I have three children, all girls. Everyone said that things will get better when they grow up, but this is not true. The situation is getting worse and worse. That's why I like dealing with arms so much, because doing this Yi Xing, he makes money very quickly.”
Henry Girard talked about himself for the first time and also mentioned why he was involved in arms. It was most likely related to his three daughters.
David didn't speak. It had nothing to do with him. He was just curious about the reason why Henry Girard came to him at this time.
Seeing that David didn't speak for a long time, Henry brought the wine over and handed David a glass.
He said very formally: "I want to solemnly apologize to you about the Albania incident. The information I received was not very accurate. It was my problem, and it almost led to irreversible consequences."
"So you sent two burly men with guns pointed at my head to take me away. It was just a misunderstanding?" David mocked.
"Yes, I am not a bad person, but in some situations I will question, if I am a bad person, what should I do to protect myself, so..."
Henry spread his hands and shrugged, leaving the rest of the words unsaid, but the meaning was already obvious.
I don't harm anyone, but if you want to harm me, I will make him die ugly.
David understood what he meant and felt a little panicked.
Thinking that she had not harmed Henry, she refrained from opening the door and running out.
Henry felt that David was a little nervous, so he changed the subject and smiled: "I'm very grateful that you didn't confess me during the investigation."
"I don't think it's necessary. You are just a middleman who supplies us and are not involved in changing the packaging. This matter has nothing to do with you." David replied truthfully.
"But thank you anyway." Henry said sincerely.
Henry is already on the list of suspected terrorists and is banned from doing business with the US government if he is also involved in the bullet case.
Then Henry will also be prosecuted by the US government for violating the law.
At that time, it will be more than just being on the list. It will be as simple as being banned from doing business with the US government. I'm afraid you may even have to sit in jail.
Fortunately, in the large amount of information David provided, Henry Girard was not mentioned in any of them.
This allowed Henry to escape disaster!
"Can I ask you a question?" David asked.
"Of course," Henry said.
"Is it really a coincidence that we met at the blackjack table in Las Vegas?" David asked curiously.
"What do you think?"
Henry did not give a direct answer, but he already gave an answer.
A smart man like David understood in an instant. He smiled helplessly and said, "Can I ask another question? The driver Bashjim you sent here has disappeared. Do you know what happened to him?"
Henry Girard looked at David without saying a word, his cold eyes knowing the answer of the representative.
He bent down and reached out to the table, picked up a 30-centimeter small suitcase and placed it on the table. He entered the password and opened the lid of the box.
Stacks of green hundred-dollar bills filled the box.
A conservative estimate is more than 20w.
"This is the last money that Ephraim sent me while I was working with you. Now..."
Henry pushed the box in front of David and said, "I've given these to you. Consider it my thanks to you. As for other questions, don't ask any more."
"Ah."
David smiled, but continued to ask as if he hadn't heard, "Can I ask another question?"
Henry Girard's face darkened, but he still said patiently: "Okay, for the sake of helping me, one last question."
"Aren't you restricted from entering the country and cannot stay for more than 48 hours? What method did you use to be able to enter and exit the United States at will?" David asked.
When the guard asked this question, Henry Girard's face suddenly became bright again.
He extended an olive branch and said, "If you are willing to follow me, you don't need to worry about your seven-month prison sentence. You can go wherever you want."
