Gao Guang thought Renato's request was reasonable, but probably illegal.
However, the FBI remained silent for a moment before saying seriously, "I need to apply to higher-ups."
Renato made a gesture of invitation and said, "Please hurry."
At this moment, a voice came through Gao Guang's earpiece, urgent and breathless. "One group calling, the police are here, two patrol cars, over."
Gao Guang immediately turned to Renato and said, "Boss, the police are here."
Renato nodded and said, "It's time. Please let them in and tell everyone to cooperate with the police's demands."
The fight just now lasted less than a minute, and now it had been almost ten minutes since it ended. Therefore, the police outside could only be patrol cars, not a large number of police rushing over.
But given what had happened here, all the police in Beverly Hills had to work overtime, and even the entire Los Angeles police department was busy.
Gao Guang picked up the walkie-talkie and whispered, "Please let the police in and cooperate with their demands."
Renato looked again at the FBI staff and said, "This case is too big. The FBI will definitely take over, but soon, the entire Beverly Hills police station will be here. I hope to resolve the mole around me as soon as possible before things get complicated. If I lack a sense of security, things will definitely get worse."
"I'll apply immediately."
Renato gritted his teeth and then said impatiently, "If this also requires an application, then send someone of sufficient rank here!"
Someone monitoring the scene couldn't be too high-ranking.
In the United States, the FBI and local police are not subordinate to each other or in a superior-subordinate relationship. The FBI is responsible for handling interstate crimes and cases involving federal security, such as terrorism and espionage.
Local police departments, such as the Los Angeles Police Department, are responsible for handling local cases.
In theory, the case that occurred in Beverly Hills should be handled by the Los Angeles Police Department, but the fact that the FBI sent someone to directly monitor Renato from the beginning indicates that both the FBI and the local police believe that Renato's feud with Grayer has risen to the level of terrorism or interstate crime.
And now, with two helicopters directly assaulting the area, at least ten people had been killed on Renato's side. This was definitely a major terrorist attack, and the FBI's efforts to prevent direct conflict had clearly failed, so higher-level involvement was inevitable.
But the FBI's takeover would still take time, and even if the FBI took over the case, it could not do without the cooperation of the local police department. Therefore, it was clear that they would have to deal with the Los Angeles Police Department next.
For some reason, Gao Guang was very nervous, and then he looked at Mike and found that Mike was even more nervous. Only Renato seemed completely unconcerned about the deaths of ten people.
Gao Guang thought for a moment, and then he felt that all his actions were being carried out on a legal basis, so there shouldn't be any problems."Probably."
Two police officers rushed in, a man and a woman. The leading officer saw Renato and his expression immediately relaxed. He quickly said, "I need... It's great that you're okay. Oh my God, it looks like a warzone in here."
Renato didn't say anything. He looked at Gao Guang, who felt like Renato wanted him to talk to the police, but he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the FBI agent finally did something. He took out his credentials and said solemnly, "FBI, sir. We have taken over the case. When can we expect your local chief to arrive?"
"Uh, very soon. We have called for backup."
"Okay, please help us seal off the scene and preserve the evidence."
"Okay."
The police left, and as he was leaving, the FBI agent pressed his shoulder radio and said, "Requesting backup. Send ambulances. There are too many casualties here. Send more ambulances."
After the police left, the FBI agent held his forehead in pain and thought for a moment before suddenly saying, "Mr. Salvini, a serious terrorist attack just occurred here. We suspect that you have an accomplice among the terrorists. We hope you can cooperate with our investigation and identify the terrorist from our recorded conversation."
Damn, can they do that?
Gao Guang was shocked. He was extremely surprised that the game could be played like this. Renato was clearly pressuring him to find the mole, but now it had turned into Renato cooperating with the investigation. This move was too extreme. Everyone was legal and compliant, and they could have resolved the situation without this.
Renato said seriously, "I am very willing to cooperate."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The FBI agent stood up and left. He should get the recording soon, and Renato let out a sigh of relief. He said to Gao Guang, "You..."
"Boss, what are your orders?"
Renato whispered, "I don't think the mole will directly attack me, they just sold information for money. But since I'm not dead, the mole must be very anxious. So be alert and don't let your guard down. Anyone could be the mole, including that guy just now."
That guy just now, the FBI agent?
Gao Guang felt uneasy, but he immediately said, "I understand, boss."
Renato let out a sigh of relief and said, "Now we need to wait for Smith to send more people and for my people to arrive. Hmm, who will Smith send?"
Gao Guang understood. Renato thought he was Smith's confidant, so should he tell the truth or take advantage of Smith's name for a long-term meal ticket?
He didn't have much time to think. Gao Guang immediately said, "Mr. Smith will definitely send the most professional security team. You can rest assured that they will arrive within an hour and will be the best people. As for the selection of personal bodyguards, I think it's best for you to arrange it yourself."Ambiguous, but with accurate timing and the best manpower, this is the art of speaking. Anyway, Gao Guang did not say that he was not familiar with Mr. Smith, but he also did not say that they were very familiar. In any case, he did not lie.
Renato still agreed with Gao Guang's words. He looked at the clock and whispered, "If you can arrive within an hour, then there will be no problem. I'll rely on you during this time."
After speaking, Renato suddenly asked, "Do you finish work at four o'clock?"
"Uh, yes, but that's not important. Your safety is the top priority."
Renato nodded but didn't say anything.
After more than ten minutes, a large number of police cars rushed over, dozens of police cars, as well as fire trucks and ambulances, completely surrounding Renato's mansion.

The sheriff finally arrived and hurriedly walked into Renato's living room, saying as soon as he entered, "This matter is too big, we are all in trouble. Mr. Salvini, are you... okay?"
Renato said expressionlessly, "Sheriff, you should know from the situation outside that I almost died."
The sheriff shrugged, and then said helplessly, "I need to know what happened. Please describe the situation at that time."
Renato shook his head and said, "I don't want to say too much, but I have the surveillance video from that time. You can watch it, and my bodyguard here can provide more details."
Gao Guang was surprised, and the police officer was also surprised. He looked at Gao Guang and then at Mike, saying, "Mr. Salvini, your bodyguard... is very young."
Renato said expressionlessly, "Six bodyguards who followed me for many years, five died, and one... I don't know if he can survive. So they are the most familiar with the situation."
"I'm sorry about what happened today. Um, sir, please come with me. We'd better talk outside."
The sheriff showed enough respect and understanding to Renato, but he asked Gao Guang to go outside to talk. However, Gao Guang felt that although cooperating with the police investigation was necessary, he should also show his professionalism in front of the boss.
It was necessary to perform well in front of the boss, as Smith had said, and as Renato had just instructed, he must stay close to Renato no matter who came or what happened. He had to stall for time until the reinforcements sent by Mr. Smith arrived, even if Renato's own people arrived first, he could not leave.The sheriff wasn't angry, and he even expressed understanding. After nodding, he had a thoughtful expression and said, "You're right, but I need to report the specific situation to my superiors as soon as possible. So... Mr. Salvini, can I see the surveillance video from that time now?"
Renato thought for a moment and said, "Sure, I also want to see what happened. And since the FBI won't be here for a while, why don't we watch it together?"
The sheriff thought about it and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your understanding and cooperation."
At this moment, Mike seemed to be stunned behind Renato and the sheriff. After staring blankly for a moment, he suddenly made eye contact with Gao Guang.
Gao Guang was confused and annoyed. He couldn't read minds, so why did Mike keep making eye contact with him? So he simply shrugged his left hand and made a questioning gesture.
Mike raised a finger and pointed at Renato, then made a gesture of counting money. Gao Guang finally understood. Mike was asking how much money Renato had.
The problem was, how would Gao Guang know how much money Renato had? But based on the current situation, he felt like Renato must have at least several billion dollars... Yeah, he should have.
