Even Gao Guang, who was not very smart, could tell that the first call was a lie, and the second one was true.

Everyone paused for a moment, and then John asked in a puzzled tone, "What happened?"

Frank looked at George with anger and said, "Someone illegally broke into the client's house and triggered the alarm system. When Gerard went to investigate the situation, there was a gunfight. The police have arrived to handle it, but I also have to go to the police station."

Everyone was stunned, and then John immediately said to George, "Damn it, can't you come up with a decent reason? Don't you know that some things can't be said casually?"

George looked dejected and speechless.

Frank looked at his watch and said anxiously, "I don't know the details yet, but I have to go back as soon as possible. There's nothing to complain about, but...George, don't say things like that again in the future."

George shrugged helplessly and said, "It's my fault, forget it, I won't say anything anymore."

At this point, Gao Guang finally understood that George had violated a major taboo in the industry.

In many industries, there are some taboo words that cannot be said. For example, a nurse would never say "it's so leisurely tonight" during a night shift, and people at the police station would never say "it's been quiet these past few days". If someone accidentally says these words, they can expect to be very busy.

George had said that there was something wrong with the company, and how could he say such things casually? Now, something had happened that wouldn't have happened otherwise.

But why did he lie? Gao Guang couldn't figure it out, but everyone was in a hurry now, so he couldn't ask for an explanation.

Back in the car, Rubber was still driving. After they left the shooting range, he suddenly said, "It's just a shooting incident, nothing serious. Frank can handle it. Kung Fu boy, let me see what you've got when we get back to the company."

There was also John waiting for them. Now there was another Rubber, and Gao Guang felt helpless. "Okay, but I practice routines, not what you guys are thinking," he said.

Just then, Frank's phone rang again. After he took it out, he looked at it and did not answer directly.

"Why aren't you answering the phone? What's wrong?" Rubber asked in confusion. But Frank made a gesture for them to be quiet and said in a low voice, "Don't say anything."

Frank answered the phone, and then calmly said, "Hello, you shouldn't be calling this number."

Gao Guang couldn't hear what was being said on the phone, but Frank's expression quickly turned ugly. After listening for a while, he said very seriously, "Okay, I understand. Don't call this number again. I'll contact you."Frank hung up the phone, then he sighed deeply and after a moment of contemplation, suddenly said, "That bastard just said it was nothing!"

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, then John asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It was the middleman who called. Arturo was arrested again. It happened last night when the Setta Group people raided his house and took him and his mother away."

After finishing his words helplessly, Frank looked at Rubber with an angry face and said, "Can't you guys pay attention to what you say? Don't say things you shouldn't say. Now, not only is there trouble, but it's all concentrated together!"

Gao Guang's heart began to beat rapidly.

"What? Setta..."

"Oh no!"

John and Rubber had already expressed their helpless sighs. Frank continued, "The middleman is still in Tijuana. He wants to escape to the United States, but the Setta Group is looking for him everywhere."

After a brief silence, John asked in confusion, "Our mission is over. Even if Arturo is arrested again, even if the middleman is finished, what does it have to do with us?"

"Fool, if the middleman is found by the Setta Group, do you think he will keep our secret?" Rubber first despised John, then he said with frustration, "This mission is really... too much trouble for too little money."

George whispered, "What does the middleman want us to do? Does he want us to rescue hostages again?"

Frank sighed and said, "The middleman is in danger now. He hopes we can help him. As for the hostages, no one is paying anymore, so there is no mission to save them."

"Will the middleman pay us?"

Frank shook his head helplessly, "The key is that the middleman doesn't have much money. He only has less than thirty thousand dollars. But if we don't save him and let him fall into the hands of the Setta Group, he will definitely reveal us."

Gao Guang couldn't help but ask, "Then why did he make this call? Isn't he afraid that we will find him before the Setta Group does and kill him?"

As someone who has just been kidnapped, Gao Guang's persecution delusion is severe, and he is extremely sensitive to the idea of being killed to keep secrets.

In Gao Guang's view, Frank and his team, including himself, have trouble because of the middleman who knows the inside story, not the Setta Group. Therefore, as long as they kill the middleman before the Setta Group does, the trouble will naturally disappear.

"Yeah, why?" John just understood what Gao Guang meant, so he asked in confusion, "That middleman, he can't give us any money and he's a threat to us. Why did he call you?"Frank said seriously: "The middleman doesn't have the money now, but he said that as long as we leave Mexico, he can raise at least two hundred thousand dollars. If we can save him out of Tijuana and get him to the United States, he will pay us two hundred thousand dollars. If we have a firefight with the Seta Group, he is willing to pay fifty thousand dollars, of course, provided that he stays alive to give us the money."

John was stunned for a moment, then licked his lips and said hesitantly: "Two hundred thousand dollars? We can make it with that... Hmm, if we have fifty thousand dollars to save people from the Seta Group, that will definitely be enough, but we don't have cash. Captain, what do you think?"

When discussing the mission, John couldn't help but use a code name to refer to Frank.

Frank shook his head and said, "I don't know. I can't decide now. Our principle is to receive at least half of the advance payment, but the middleman can't even come up with half of it. This violates our principle, but if we don't take it, the consequences may be severe."

Gao Guang couldn't help but ask again, "Does the middleman know your details?"

"Yes, that's the trouble. He knows our details."

"Even if the middleman tells the Seta Group your details, what can they do even if they know you're in Los Angeles? Are they brave enough to come here and kill us? They are just drug dealers."

Everyone smiled bitterly, and then Frank said helplessly, "The Seta Group won't come to Los Angeles to find us, but their revenge methods are not limited to killing us in person. As long as the Seta Group is willing to pay, there are plenty of Mexican hitmen in Los Angeles who will shoot at us."

Gao Guang understood that this was a dilemma, and it was troublesome no matter what they did.

After a moment of silence, Frank sighed and said, "We have to go to Tijuana again. Gao is right. The middleman is just trouble as long as he's alive."

After he finished speaking, Frank glanced at Gao Guang and continued, "Let's do it according to Gao's plan. If we kill the middleman and silence him, everything will be fine."

Gao Guang was stunned, then he said in amazement, "I didn't say to kill him..."

No one argued with Gao Guang. Frank just continued, "Go back and pack up. Bring our own equipment this time. We have to cross the border today. We need to deal with this as soon as possible."
