Chapter 1604: Chapter 1583: Stockholm Syndro
Did Number Thirteen lie?
No, of course not. He was telling the truth, but he just hid the important parts.
Number Thirteen and Osa talked for a long ti, while Gao Yang and Taylor listened on the side, their expressions becoming more and more interesting.
Finally, Osa stood up, looked at Number Thirteen with determination, and said, “Okay, I’ll co over before work tomorrow, you tell what to do next. As for how to create an opportunity for to go to Poloneshenko’s house, I’ll think about it and let you know how to do it. You cooperate with , and I can get in.”
Number Thirteen nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll plan tonight. If you have any ideas, you can call . The number is saved on your phone, here.”
Osa took her phone from Number Thirteen’s hand and softly said to him, “I’m leaving. I’ll call you. Goodbye.”
Number Thirteen waved to Osa and softly said, “Goodbye, drive carefully on the way.”
Gao Yang expressionlessly sent Osa out the door, expressionlessly put Osa in the car, and then expressionlessly opened the gate to let Osa leave. During this ti, he dared not have any expression because he was afraid he might burst out laughing or maybe even cry.
When Gao Yang returned inside the room and saw Taylor’s equally interesting expression, Gao Yang finally exclaid, “What is this woman thinking? We kidnapped her, intimidated her, threatened her, and yet she is willing to help us steal the guns! This is unbelievable! Leonard’s story is utterly unbelievable, too corny, too fake, and that stupid woman! She actually believes it! F**k, she’s a marketing manager at a big company!”
Taylor exhaled and said helplessly, “This is Stockholm syndro. I’ve finally witnessed it. Damn Stockholm syndro, I don’t even know what to say.”
Gao Yang said helplessly, “Alright, it’s Stockholm syndro, but—”
Number Thirteen, now a different person, said coldly, “You are all wrong, at least it’s not the main reason. She believes the nonsense I just said simply because she is a woman.”
“Woman?”
“Yes, a woman.”
Gao Yang sneered, “Co on, I don’t know any won that low in IQ.”
Number Thirteen said coldly, “If a woman wants to believe what you say, no matter how fake it is, she will believe it. If she doesn’t want to believe you, she will turn into Sherlock Hols. So, she just wants to believe .”
After he said this, Number Thirteen coldly looked at Gao Yang and said, “If it weren’t for you constantly ruining the atmosphere I was creating, this would have been simpler. Since you all know about Stockholm syndro, you should know that humans can be conditioned.”
Gao Yang said disdainfully, “Bah, you say that if I left, you really wouldn’t slit that stupid woman’s throat? Can you say that?”
Number Thirteen thought for a mont, then shook his head slightly and said quietly, “You’re right. I would slit her throat, slowly feel the blood flow over my hands, feel it spray on my face. Co to think of it, am I really a psychopath?”
Gao Yang said with a wry smile, “Buddy, you’re really late to the party, aren’t you? No, you just lack self-awareness.”
Number Thirteen coughed lightly and said loudly, “Okay, let’s not bring up this topic in the future. Let’s talk about business. Osa is willing to check if the two guns in the living room are what we want, but we need to create an excuse for her to get in. I asked Osa to think of a way herself, to deepen her involvent in this, but the most likely thod is only one, which is that there is an extrely large market to expand, so we should prepare for this.”
Gao Yang said solemnly, “Enhance Osa’s sense of involvent? Hmm, I understand.”
Number Thirteen said solemnly, “If she starts to recall everything that happened today, she might change her mind, because the psychological preparation we gave her is not enough, the ti is too short. If she thinks about how to get into Poloneshenko’s house and get the guns out, she won’t have ti to think about anything else, and in the end, she will beco involved. The sense of participation in a collective activity, a sense of accomplishnt, will make her completely beco our accomplice.”
Taylor said leisurely, “I bet that woman will call tonight, seeing her expression when she left, I think she didn’t even want to go.”
As soon as Taylor finished speaking, Number Thirteen’s phone rang. Taylor clapped his hands and said loudly, “See!”
Number Thirteen smiled slightly, took out his phone, answered it, and directly pressed speakerphone, using a very magnetic voice to say, “Hello, Osa.”
The sound of a car engine could be heard over the phone, along with Osa’s excited voice.
“I’ve thought about it! We’ve been trying to expand the market beyond Europe and Asia. Right now, I’m in contact with Europe…”
Number Thirteen interrupted Osa, speaking with authority, “You’re driving right now. Call after you get ho. We’re not in a hurry for this. Also, you’re driving too fast, I can hear the engine. Slow down, focus on driving, and call when you get ho. Bye.”
Number Thirteen hung up the phone, then smiled slightly and said, “It’s a done deal.”
Gao Yang sincerely said, “The stratagem of ‘To catch sothing, first let it go,’ using the art of war, brilliant, really brilliant!”
Taylor looked at Number Thirteen and said helplessly, “I was feeling proud just now, but now, alright, I understand why I don’t have a girlfriend. Leonard, you really should be a Pretty Boy living off soone, it’s way more promising than being a hitman.”
Number Thirteen smiled slightly and said solemnly, “She will pull over, then call to tell she is ho, 5, 4, 3, 2…”
Taylor stayed, the phone rang, but Number Thirteen did not answer. He let it ring for a long ti, waiting until it was almost going to hang up automatically, then he answered and apologized, “Sorry it took so long to answer your call, my injury acted up just now, and I had to re-treat it.”
Osa’s voice ca through, she said loudly, “Oh, sorry, are you alright? Is the wound okay?”
“No problem, I’ll treat it in a while. Are you ho?”
“You should be more careful with your wound. Hmm, I’m ho already. Leonard, listen, I have an idea. Our company’s limitations in the European market are still relatively large. The market share in developed countries of Western Europe and Northern Europe is too low, and also the Aricas dominated by Arica. I can say there are significant developnts in market expansion in Europe or Arica. Mr. Polonishenko would definitely see . What do you think?” (To be continued.
