Chapter 495: I Have No Scruples [Third Update]
Soon, the news was reported by the media around the world, and the tourists who had the accident came from 14 countries, including the Celestial Empire, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, etc., and the ambassadors of each country immediately took action.
"Commander, the investigation has been completed, this group of kidnappers are all cultists, and there are a large number of explosives on the island, and no one in the Apocalypse Group system is involved in this organization" Xing Ling's voice appeared in Xu Ping'an's mind.
Xu Ping'an, who was sitting in the one-man flying machine, nodded, it was not something that the inner ghost did, "Xingling, I may need your help then, please."
"The small area has little impact, let them bring a thermal energy display, and I will let the images of these people be clearly displayed on the screen" Xing Ling said directly, Xu Ping'an was a little relieved.
flew all the way, added fuel halfway, and rushed to the airport without stopping, Darina was already waiting at the airport, looking at Zhang Jianbin next to her with an unhappy face.
Why Zhang Jianbin went to the airport is very simple, the ambassador of the Celestial Empire has sent back a report, and the names of Xu Ping'an's parents are also on the list of abducted persons.
The relevant departments immediately grasped Xu Ping'an's movements, and the relevant people notified Zhang Jianbin and asked Zhang Jianbin to persuade Xu Ping'an, don't come nonsense, the state will do its best to rescue the hostages.
The efficiency of the state machine is unimaginably fast for ordinary people, Zhang Jianbin and Qiao Liangqing were dumbfounded when they received the news, and after discussing it, they let people start investigating the airport charter flight information.
There is only one charter flight to NRLY at the airport, there will be no one else except Xu Ping'an, such a long distance, the cost is not a small amount, and when he got the news, Zhang Jianbin came directly to the airport to wait for Xu Ping'an.
Time passed slowly, and after Xu Ping'an landed, he was told that Zhang Jianbin was waiting for him, took a few deep breaths, and came to see Zhang Jianbin with a black face.
Xu Ping'an met Zhang Jianbin in a small room, Zhang Jianbin went straight to the point and said directly, "Peace, calm down, the country will definitely rescue the second elder"
"Our country is very prestigious in the African region, and it has benefited a lot from the perennial assistance to ordinary people, and basically it will not embarrass us Celestial Empire."
"I know, is there anything else, I'm sorry, I'm in a mess right now, I have to leave and rush over" Xu Ping'an said quickly.
"I'll let you promise me that you won't use the power in your hands," Zhang Jianbin said directly.
Xu Ping'an immediately raised his eyebrows, looking at Zhang Jianbin , there was no emotion in his eyes, Zhang Jianbin was stunned when he saw Xu Ping'an's state, it was the first time he saw Xu Ping'an like this.
"This matter involves my parents, if my parents have three longs and two shorts, I will let them bury the whole country together" Xu Ping'an turned around and left after speaking, there is nothing to talk about in this matter.
Hearing Xu Ping'an's words, Zhang Jianbin had a bang in his head, and immediately walked a few steps quickly to stop Xu Ping'an, "Don't come nonsense, you can't be the enemy of the entire human race."
Xu Ping'an glanced at Zhang Jianbin "I won't come nonsense, my first goal is to ensure the safe return of my parents, money doesn't matter, as long as my parents are okay, everything is easy to say"
"But if things don't develop out of control, I have no scruples."
After speaking, he pushed Zhang Jianbin away's arm and strode out, Zhang Jianbin looked at Xu Ping'an's back, and sighed for a long time, this matter can only be reported truthfully.
Xu Ping'an took the group to board the plane directly, the plane took off slowly, ate a little food hastily on the plane, stopped for five refueling along the way, and set off immediately after filling up the fuel.
As soon as he got off the plane and walked out of the passage, a middle-aged man walked over to Xu Ping'an, "Mr. Xu, my name is Tang Jianxin, I am from the Celestial Empire Embassy in NRLY, please come to the embassy for a while, this is my work card."
Xu Ping'an took the work card and looked at it, nodded, Tang Jianxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The car is here, please."
Everyone went straight to the parking lot, and after getting into the car, the convoy began to set off, obviously, Xu Ping'an and his entourage were very clear about how many people came here, and there was nothing to say all the way, and the convoy entered the embassy after more than forty minutes.
More than an hour later, Xu Ping'an left the embassy and went to the most luxurious hotel in the local area, feeling a lot more settled, the kidnapped person was fine, the kidnappers released the video, Xu Ping'an saw it clearly, his parents and the four bodyguards were safe.
These people are a sect called evolution, worship butterflies, and believe that butterflies change from insects to butterflies is an evolution of life, and people can also evolve and believe in butterflies.
The doctrine is very poor, thinking that death is not terrible, as long as you believe in the butterfly god, believers will carry out soul transformation and evolution after death, and be reborn in the kingdom of God under the guidance of the butterfly god.
There is a market for such nonsense remarks, and there are more than 40 core personnel in the organization, and there are more than 20,000 believers, which is not a small local sect.
Life is difficult, lack of money, this time in order to make money to come up with such a trick, after all, similar things are done in many places, as long as you arrange it, the loss is definitely not big.
Besides, if you die, you can go directly to the Kingdom of God to live, and there will be no troubles in the Kingdom of God, there will be no hunger, and you can live a free life.
"If you want to go to the kingdom of God, I will fulfill you," Xu Ping'an said with a gloomy face while sitting on the sofa.
The cult members were very bold, and three people were directly negotiating with the ambassadors of various countries, only accepting cash and US dollars, and sending the money to the designated place, and the people of the organization accepted it and released them.
Directly offered, a hostage of 30 million US dollars, did not bargain, and the attitude was very arrogant.
Appointments are not accepted, and people are released randomly.
The people of the organization are not stupid, once the important people are let go, those big people are likely to launch a strong attack regardless of it, although they are not afraid of death, but when death really comes, they are still apprehensive in their hearts.
Ambassadors will not do anything to designate people, once you designate people, the kidnappers will definitely stay until the end before releasing them, which is equivalent to increasing the chips in the hands of the kidnappers.
There were 58 visitors to the Celestial Empire, 30 million per person, totaling 1740 million US dollars.
For the safety of the people, the Celestial Empire government has agreed to the conditions of the kidnappers, and it is expected to be completed in three days, and now what Xu Ping'an needs is to wait.
Gavin, Lei Yusheng, with people and equipment, have arrived at Adrius Island, which is far from the island where the kidnappers are located, and it will only take a day to take a boat, Xu Ping'an asked the two to prepare.
As soon as the kidnappers don't keep their promises, they go straight to the action.
Two days later, the kidnapper's representative, Batruh, met with Ke Zhiqiang, the ambassador of the Celestial Empire, using a translator, the country had been colonized by the British and had spent some time in the British Commonwealth, and his English was slippery.
"Ambassador Ke, fifty-six of the fifty-eight people will be released as agreed, and these two people must pay an extra billion dollars if they want to be released" Batru looked at Ke Zhiqiang and said fullly, and after speaking, he put a photo on the table.
Ke Zhiqiang picked up the photo and looked at it, there was a bang in his head, what are you afraid of, Xu Ping'an's parents have been found out, Xu Hong and his wife are 500 million US dollars each, and they must give 1 billion US dollars, otherwise, these two people are not on the list of released hostages.
"How can you know their identities," Ke Zhiqiang asked.
"According to the information given by the United States, they only need 10 million US dollars to pick up five people from their country," Batru said without concealment.
Batlu is deliberately leaking the news, anyway, these big countries are not good birds, let them go dog eat dog.
Ke Zhiqiang's face sank, and after talking for more than half an hour, the kidnapper's representative left satisfied, and the ambassador began to call and report with a gloomy face.
More than ten minutes later, the domestic phone call came, first affirming Ke Zhiqiang's decision, one billion dollars is nothing, as long as it is a person from the Celestial Empire, he must do his best to rescue him.
To appease Xu Ping'an, this matter can't be hidden for long, say it in advance to let Xu Ping'an stay calm.
The relevant personnel are already handling the payment as required, and this matter cannot be hidden, so you can talk to Xu Ping'an in advance.
Xu Ping'an is a patriotic businessman, Tianqi Group has congratulated the country on a lot of top technologies over the years, plus the annual public welfare, not to mention one billion dollars, is two billion dollars, and the country will also pay this money.
Even if you don't have this, you have to go all out to rescue them, because these people are the nationality of the Celestial Empire.
Ke Zhiqiang made a phone call to Xu Ping'an, Xu Ping'an wanted to flip the table on the spot, and patiently communicated with Ke Zhiqiang for a while, "Ambassador Ke, thank you for your concern, please rest assured, I promise that there will be no action, and there will be no action before the safety of our country's personnel."
After listening to Xu Ping'an's words, Ke Zhiqiang felt a lot more relieved, Xu Ping'an's promise is very guaranteed, and over the years, Xu Ping'an has not broken his promise.
A day passed, and on a nameless island, in a simple tent, Batru and a man were arguing, very intensely.
"Huka, we have to be credible, otherwise, no one will believe our promises, and no one will believe us in the future," Batrou said excitedly.
Huka sat there, stretched his legs on the table, and looked at Batru with contempt on his face, "Batru, be sober, we are kidnappers, even if we really let people go, will those big powers let me go".
"Don't be naïve, after the people are released, the countries will put pressure on NRLY, and the government will send troops to strike at us, and we won't feel at ease if we don't kill them"
"It's all death anyway, why not a little, we want a few billion more and we will take the money to find a place to live in seclusion, anyway, the Apocalypse Group is rich, and five billion is not a big deal for them."
Batru looked at Huka with a helpless expression, the people on the island were all Huka's subordinates, even if his position was higher than Huka in the sect, he couldn't force Huka to do anything.
"Huka, I'll let you go in the name of the black-robed divine envoy" Batru looked at Huka with a blank expression.
