Chapter 0381: Gunshots in the Palace
"Haha, Brother Qiao, the last time we met, didn't you say that you hadn't eaten our Saudi roast camels? I knew that I could see you in the British Virgin Islands this time, so I specially asked someone to fly a whole roast camel over to give you Brother Qiao a taste! Hahaha...... Come on, roast the camels!"
I don't know if it's because of being a thief, Prince Saltu didn't continue to answer Qiao Tianyu's question, but quickly diverted the topic, and Qiao Tianyu didn't say anything more when he saw this, otherwise it would be rude.
Qiao Tianyu, Prince Harita, and Prince Saltu, the three of them have their own ghosts in their hearts, so this dinner can be described as embarrassing as much as it is, and a large table of delicacies also makes people eat the same as chewing wax!
I really couldn't stand this embarrassing atmosphere, Qiao Tianyu ate a few bites indiscriminately, and claimed that his stomach was full, so he got up and said goodbye.
And Prince Saltu didn't seem to have much appetite, so he said "I'll send you", and followed Qiao Tianyu out of the castle.
After a stormy afternoon, the evening in CitΓ© del Dro is particularly cool, and the smell of fresh earth in the flower beds and the croaking of frogs in the pond after the rain is indeed a delightful sight.
So after coming out of the castle, Qiao Tianyu was attracted by this pleasant scenery, and he didn't get in the car and left, and Prince Saltu was even more old, so he came up at the right time.
"Brother Qiao, my manor is the largest tropical manor in the British Virgin Islands, and there are countless rare and exotic plants in it, I don't know if Brother Qiao is willing to appreciate the light and guide it. Prince Saltu said to Qiao Tianyu with a pious face.
"It's okay! It's a pity to waste such a comfortable weather, Your Excellency the Prince, can you and I have a solo tour of the manor?" Qiao Tianyu asked.
"Understood! understood!" Prince Saltu waved behind him, and the rest of his entourage retreated.
"Please!" Prince Saltu took Qiao Tianyu into the back garden of the manor.
"Brother Saltu!"
When the two of them came to the depths of the garden together, Qiao Tianyu looked around, and seeing that the others did not follow, Qiao Tianyu suddenly stood up and looked at Prince Saltu with a serious face.
"Brother Qiao, you are finally willing to call me 'dude'. Prince Saltu also stood down, but his tone was full of grievances, "Brother Qiao, is there any misunderstanding between you and me?"
"Prince Saltu, I want to know what happened to Prince Harita? Isn't it your brother who should be in charge of the overall situation of the petrodollar system this time, why is Prince Harita here?" Qiao Tianyu asked puzzled.
"Hey, it's hard to put into words!" Prince Saltu shook his head aggrievedly, and pointed to a gazebo not far away, "Let's sit down and talk." β
Walking behind Prince Saltu towards the gazebo, Qiao Tianyu saw that Prince Saltu's walking posture today was a little weird, and there was always a feeling of being one leg deep and one leg shallow.
It's just that the traditional Middle Eastern robes they wear are very wide, with the hem reaching the heel, so it is really not obvious if you don't look closely.
When he came to the pavilion and sat down, Prince Saltu was also anxious to explain, and directly lifted the robe on his body, Qiao Tianyu was surprised to find that Prince Saltu's left leg was tied with two steel plates more than 30 centimeters on both sides of his left leg.
"Brother Saltu, this ......" Qiao Tianyu pointed to the steel plate on Prince Saltu's leg in surprise and asked in confusion.
You must know that every time Qiao Tianyu saw Prince Saltu in the past, he hated to have a reinforced battalion of guards around him, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see him, let alone hurt him, so what about the injury on his leg?
"Brother Joe, just now in the dining room, you asked me what that grand welcome was all about, then I'll tell you now, that's the real reason!" said Prince Sartu, pointing to his legs.
"My leg was shot with a pistol three days ago in the Saudi palace after I received the edict. β
"It's just that my life is good, the bullet only grazed my leg musculature, and didn't hurt my muscles and bones, so now it's just that my walking posture has been affected a little, and it's fine!"
"Ah, someone was shot and wounded with a pistol in the Saudi Palace, and the Saudi Palace is so heavily guarded, how can there be assassins?" Qiao Tianyu asked even more puzzled.
"Here's the problem!" Prince Saltu nodded vigorously, he looked around a little nervously, and after confirming that it was safe, he explained in a low voice.
"The level of security in the Saudi royal palace is not comparable to the official residence of the head of state of ordinary countries, and all the places around the Saudi royal palace are under martial law 10 kilometers away, and it is impossible for assassins to sneak in!"
"So obviously, the person who injured me with a pistol is definitely not an ordinary assassin or an outsider, it is very likely that it is our own people from the Saudi royal family!" After speaking, Prince Saltu subconsciously glanced at the location of the manor castle, with a fierce look on his face.
"What's even more strange is that since I was wounded, it stands to reason that the royal family should thoroughly investigate the assassins, but the whole palace is calm and calm, and there is no intention of searching for the assassins. β
"When I heard the news in the hospital, I was furious, because the injury was not serious, and I immediately had people push me back to the palace to complain to the king, hoping that the king would help me to administer justice. β
"Who knew that as soon as I entered the palace, I heard that the king was receiving the American envoy, and after several inquiries, I learned that the so-called American envoy was actually Mr. Halson, chairman of the Joint Economic Committee of the United States Congress!"
"At first I didn't think much of it, but I thought of Mr. Harson's arrival as a normal foreign affair, so when Mr. Harson was gone, I went to see the king as normal. β
"However, the king seemed to be in a very bad mood at the time, and his face was very ugly, and as soon as I asked for a thorough investigation of the Assassins, the king immediately rejected it. β
"The king solemnly warns me that if I do not wish to die, the matter must end here, and I am not allowed to speak of it again!"
"At that time, the king's words were fierce and serious, and it was not at all like a joke, so I had to swallow this breath dumbly, but the situation became more and more wrong. β
The day after the shooting, the tension in the British Virgin Islands intensified, and the major factions in the world's offshore financial market were ready to make a fuss about the mysterious rich businessman. β
"Of course, the world's offshore financial market is a battlefield that our Saudi royal family values very much, so we also got the corresponding information in time, but then something unbelievable happened.....
