Chapter 1397 - Defrauded of Five Million
1397
The Director sat behind his desk, one of his hands resting on his waist, to ensure that he was able to pull out the pistol from his waist as soon as possible.
Of course, the director doesn't think that Xu Taiping will do anything to him, now that the military coup has begun, it won't be long before Eilanke will be taken down by the Prime Minister, and then the whole country will change the dynasty, and he will also become the director of the National Police Agency, if Xu Taiping dares to do anything to him, it will only be a dead end.
Xu Taiping pulled a chair and sat opposite the director.
Lini stood aside, not daring to sit, covered in sweat, he really couldn't find the reason why Xu Taiping would be so calm, could he just just ask for someone from the director?
As it turned out, Riney was right.
"I'm here for you. Xu Taiping said.
"Oh?" the director said, raising an eyebrow, "who do you want?"
"Luo Juan."
With a click, the director pulled out the gun on his waist, aimed it at Xu Taiping, and then opened his mouth to call his subordinates in.
"I'll spend money to ransom!" Xu Taiping said.
Xu Taiping's words made the director's open mouth not make a sound in the end.
"Spend money?" The director took the gun, looked at Xu Taiping, and asked with a playful face, "How much can you give?"
"How much are you willing to drive?" asked Xu Taiping.
"You know, Luo Juan is suspected of leaking state secrets, which is a very serious crime. The director said.
"Needless to say, these useless things, in this world, everything has a price. I don't care what state secrets Luo Juan has leaked, I just want to know now, how much money I give you, can you let Luo Juan go with me?" asked Xu Taiping.
"Luo Juan, who are you who make you willing to spend money for her? Moreover, Luo Juan, she is not from your Huaxia, ah, I understand, is this Luo Juan your spy?" asked the director.
"Director, I didn't say it, but you really talk a lot of nonsense. Xu Taiping said.
Xu Taiping's words made Lini break out in a cold sweat, as a person who came to ask someone to do something, you dare to say a lot of nonsense about others, don't you want to live anymore?
To Lini's surprise, the director didn't get mad, he smiled faintly, and then opened five fingers in front of Xu Taiping, and said, "Five million US dollars, if it is transferred to my overseas bearer account, I will let Luo Juan go." β
"Okay!" Xu Taiping didn't hesitate, nodded and said, "Director, you give me a phone, I'm talking about a phone call that can be made outside, and now the entire Elanke's external communication should be cut off, right?"
"It seems that you are not an ordinary person, and you even know this. The director said, took out a satellite phone from the drawer and handed it to Xu Taiping, saying, "My account number is XXX, let your people give me money, pay the money with one hand, and give it to people with the other." β
"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then took the satellite phone given by the director and called Chen Yidou.
For Xu Taiping now, he dares to contact, and there is only one person who can contact Chen Yidou, as for the others, Xu Taiping does not dare to contact him, because he is afraid of revealing himself.
Xu Taiping quickly called Chen Yidou's phone, and then Xu Taiping told Chen Yibucket to call the account given by the director for $5 million.
Chen Yidou on the other end of the phone didn't ask much, and immediately did what Xu Taiping said.
Xu Taiping handed the satellite phone back to the director, and then said, "It should arrive soon." β
"I'll wait. The director grinned.
Standing next to Xu Taiping, Li Ni was sweating profusely, he didn't think that Xu Taiping, a person who fell into the sea and lost his memory, could come up with five million US dollars, he felt that Xu Taiping was playing with fire now, he estimated that he was buying time, but there was no point in fighting for time now, but it would annoy the director.
At this moment, the director's mobile phone suddenly rang.
The director picked up his mobile phone and glanced at it, then said with a smile, "Five million has really arrived, haha, let's go, I'll take you to Luo Juan!"
With that, the director put away his gun and walked out of his office.
Xu Taiping stood up and followed the director out.
Rini looked at the director and Xu Taiping in astonishment.
Could it be that this Xu Liu, who really gave the director five million US dollars?
That's a lot of money, and for a backward country like Sinia, five million dollars is almost a city's GDP in a year!
Rini can only earn a few thousand dollars once at sea, and it will be 350,000 US dollars a year, which is already very rich, and if you want to earn 5 million US dollars, it will take a hundred years.
The director took Xu Taiping to the interrogation room where Luo Juan was being held, and then opened the door of the interrogation room and said, "I have interrogated Luo Juan some time because of routine business, I hope you don't mind." β
"I understand!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then walked into the interrogation room.
In the interrogation room, Luo Juan was leaned against the iron fence.
Hearing the movement at the door, Luo Juan looked up at the door, and Luo Juan was stunned at this look.
"Why are you here?!" Luo Juan asked in surprise.
"We're here to save you. Xu Taiping said and walked in front of Luo Juan.
"Director, can you open these handcuffs?" asked Xu Taiping.
"Since you have such a good relationship and are willing to spend five million to save her, then you all stay here. The director said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Xu Taiping asked with a frown.
"For a person who leaked state secrets, do you think five million can let her go? You are too naΓ―ve, Huaxia people. The director sneered, closed the door directly, and locked it from the outside.
"You've been deceived!" said Rioni excitedly.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xu Taiping's mouth, and said, "People's greed can easily make people lose their minds, he can easily exchange Luo Juan for five million, and naturally he will want more, I have known these for a long time." β
"Then you give him back the money, are you stupid!" asked Lini.
"At least now, we know that Luo Juan is here, and at the same time, the three of us are together, which is good news. Xu Taiping said.
"What if the three of us are together? This is the police station, and there are police officers outside, can we fly away from here?" asked Rini.
"No need to fly away, just give me some time. Xu Taiping said that in his opinion, as long as he is given two to three days, after his body has fully recovered, he will get out of this police station, it is really simple.
The reason why he came to the police station in such a hurry and gave the director five million was to make sure that Luo Juan was in the police station and close to Luo Juan, as long as he could get to Luo Juan's side, he was sure that he would be able to save Luo Juan's life, of course, this was not because he could fight and kill now, mainly because he had money.
As long as the director thinks that he is a chicken that can lay golden eggs, then he and Luo Juan, as well as Rinny, are safe.
"The Chinese inside, I'll give you a choice, you continue to put 20 million dollars into my account, and I'll let you go, otherwise, you just stay in the interrogation room, you don't have much time, and when the military coup is over, I will hand you over to my boss, and at that time, you will be ready to stay in prison for the rest of your life." The director outside the door said.
"Director, as a state functionary, keeping promises is the most basic, I didn't expect you to be such a person. Xu Taiping said.
"If I had kept my promise, I wouldn't have followed my boss in a coup d'Γ©tat, would I?" said the director with a smile.
"I don't have that much money, I need time to raise money. Xu Taiping said.
"Excuse me, you don't have much time. The director said.
"Give me at least three days!" Xu Taiping said, "Give me three days, I will call my friends and ask them to raise money, in order to show my sincerity, once they draw a sum of money, I will ask them to call you, 20 million, in batches, Director, as long as you promise, we can leave here after three days." β
"Hahahaha, yes, then I'll give you three days!" said the director, "You stay in this interrogation room for three days, and in three days, if the $20 million arrives in advance, I will let you go in advance." β
"Director, this is the last time, I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise, my friend, will definitely help me take revenge, you have to believe that they can come up with tens of millions of dollars to save me, and they can also take tens of millions of dollars to buy your life. Xu Taiping said.
The director outside the door seemed to be frightened and did not speak for a long time.
"Director, is it okay?" asked Xu Taiping.
"As you wish. The director said, "If the 20 million really arrives, I will let the three of you go, I promise." β
"Okay director, but, director, I give you a friendly reminder, the news that the three of us were arrested by you, you better keep it secret, otherwise, if you let others know that the three of us can be exchanged for tens of millions of dollars, then maybe someone will come to rob us with you, you are the chief of the police department, and there are people under your hands, but for those generals, the people under your hands don't seem to be enough." Xu Taiping said.
"You are all my treasures, I will not let others take you away, you can rest assured. I'll have someone bring you food later, and you'll have to call your friend and ask him to send money to my account. I only want money, not your lives, so as long as you give money obediently, I can give you good food and drink. The director said.
"Okay!" Xu Taiping said, "Just give me a call later!"
"Okay, we'll talk about it later!" the director said, turning to leave.
At this time, the whole Irlanke was still gunshots, originally prepared to carry out a surprise attack at night by the rebels, because of Luo Juan's relationship and advanced the military coup to noon, although their strength is strong, but because the government army at this time is still in a state of daily activities, so, the rebels encountered very stubborn resistance, the two sides entered the street fighting, the whole city, completely reduced to the battlefield.
