Chapter 389: Negotiation Changes
Fu Yanfeng and Gu Er's side are generally good.
Although some people are eyeing them because of Fu Yanfeng's return, these things are expected for Fu Yanfeng, and he has prepared ways to deal with them one by one.
Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and those things didn't have much impact on their lives.
Since his return, the board of directors has been completely honest, and some projects that have been slowed down due to various problems due to his absence are now back to their original pace.
The situation at the branch is fine, and there must be fluctuations in people's hearts, but the manager he chose before can hold down the town, so when the news of his safe return to China spreads, the employees will quickly settle down.
Little by little, their lives are smoothing out.
Compared to them, Jon and Catherine's situation is not so good.
Especially Catherine, she originally thought that although she had to contact the Holy Army, it was not a terrible thing, wasn't it just to negotiate a price to ransom people?
I think she has been in the mall for so many years, and she can't even do it.
But when she really arrived at the agreed place and saw the representative of the Holy Army, she felt stunned.
The holy army that had actually seen blood and killed many people was completely different from the businessmen she had seen in the mall.
Catherine only felt that the gaze they cast on her was bloody, and there was a heavy valley of hope mixed with the murderous eyes!
Speaking of which, this is also quite normal.
The camps of the Holy Army are basically located in the middle of nowhere, and women are not allowed to enter the camps unless there are special circumstances, such as captured hostages.
It can be said that the men in the Holy Army do not see women all year round, and that is a common thing.
After all, even if Shangfeng occasionally gives them holidays and lets them go out to relax, not everyone has the money to go outside to find women.
And the representatives who came to negotiate with Catherine and the others were all good, at least at the middle and upper ranks, and they were officers, so that they couldn't even take their eyes off when they saw women.
The problem was that Catherine was definitely not on a different level from the woman they met.
Pampered for more than ten years, and entering the consortium is an executive, even if Catherine used to be just an ordinary girl, but now, her demeanor is quite elegant.
Those representatives of the Holy Army had never seen such a delicate woman as her, so their eyes couldn't help but shine.
This is all the result of their restraint.
But for Catherine, this is already an offense, an insult!
What makes her breathless the most is that she can't help it!
She and Jon, and even Hasson all had bodyguards with them, but their people couldn't compare to those Holy Army!
It's better than not knowing, only to find out that Hasen's people are better, and the difference between her and Jon's bodyguards and the other party is like the difference between herbivores and carnivores!
In short, you can see that the bodyguards are simply vulnerable!
Catherine was very insecure, so even though she held her breath, she couldn't resist saying a word.
They wanted to see it, and she could only let them look at it with that sticky gaze, and every now and then, all the goosebumps on her body stood up, and it was extremely uncomfortable!
The first day of negotiations did not yield results.
The Holy Army's asking price was too ruthless, and it was simply a lion's mouth.
Husson gave them a hint to push the price down, and although he wanted to redeem his son, he didn't want to go bankrupt!
Catherine and Jon were exhausted and ready to fight again the next day.
But what the two never expected was that when they fell asleep and woke up, they were no longer in the hotel, but were tied up all over their bodies and thrown in the back of the truck!
The wind was blowing, and Catherine and Jon looked at each other, each seeing shock and disbelief in the other's eyes.
When I came back to my senses, I suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave!
They were tied, but their mouths were not gagged, and after Jon felt that there was still someone sitting behind him, he shouted in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing here, why are you tying us up? Let me tell you, we are talking business with the Holy Army, and if you kidnap us, the Holy Army will not let you go!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Catherine closed her eyes through gritted teeth.
The people behind him erupted in laughter.
He couldn't see it, but Catherine's position was clearly visible, and the row of soldiers sitting behind Jon were wearing the uniforms of the Holy Army!
Their kidnappers were the Holy Army, and it was no wonder that Jon would not be ridiculed for saying such things!
Jon was stunned by the laughter, Catherine really didn't want him to continue to be embarrassed, so she had to speak: "Isn't your holy army too immoral? We are negotiating, but you kidnap people in the middle of the way, if this news spreads, the hearts of your holy army will be scattered! Also, do you know who we are? My grandfather is the chairman of the ACC consortium in the United States, and we are all American citizens, and if you do this, the US government will not let you go!"
Hearing this threat, one of the officers in the Holy Army sneered: "Sure enough, it's the young lady of the rich family, who doesn't understand anything! I might as well tell you that no one can prove that we did it." After all, the two of us are negotiating, aren't we? Who would think that we kidnap two useless fools while we don't want money? Even if you ask the US government for help, it's useless! On our territory, even if it's an American, you still have to follow the rules!"
Catherine and Jon looked at each other, both in fear.
Although what the other party said was not good, if you think about it carefully, you can see that he is right.
Since they have been kidnapped, it can be seen that their bodyguards are not good, even if these bandit-like holy army do not deal with them, it is estimated that they will mislead them, so that they can't guess that the kidnappers are the holy army!
And if those bodyguards live to send the wrong message to their families, the result for them is simply worse than the death of those people!
However, Catherine thought of Hasen, and there was still a glimmer of hope, and she endured fear and indignation and said to the officer who had just spoken: "Sir Andy, we are here for our friends, my friend's father is a man of hand and eye, and now you not only do not let his son go, but also kidnap us who save people. My friend's father has a very good way, he will definitely find out the truth, and when the time comes, won't your holy army cause trouble for nothing? We might as well discuss, if you let us go, how much money do you want, I can let my family raise it and give it to you later!"
After thinking about it, she hurriedly added: "My family will definitely not call the police, and the money will definitely be given to you, as long as you can let us go!"
Andy looked at her and smiled strangely, and then said, "You don't have to think about this, it's impossible!"
Catherine felt a sigh in her heart, she was not stupid, and naturally noticed that the other party's look and words seemed to be quite affectionate.
But after Andy said that, he stopped talking.
Even if she has been close, the other party is familiar with it.
Instead, the others started to heckle her, saying that she had a crush on Andy......
They spoke very rudely, with a lot of foul words, and Catherine was so ashamed that she did not dare to speak again.
And Jon had already understood that the person who kidnapped them was the Holy Army who was still negotiating with them the day before, although he was shocked, but when he thought about it, it didn't seem so unexpected, and he had a feeling in his heart that it was indeed so.
However, unlike Catherine, who was confused about the culprit, the first object of his suspicion was Hazen.
When Hasen asked them to come forward to ransom people with the Holy Army before, he felt that something was wrong, but now that he thinks about it, it was at that time, and Hasen planned all this!
He hated it.
When the atmosphere in the car calmed down a little, he thought about it and said to Andy: "Sir, I'll forget it, but can I untie the rope on my sister's body?
Catherine was surprised when these words came out.
She didn't expect Jon to say that, after all, the two of them had torn their faces before, and if it weren't for the fact that Hasson had to do this together, it is estimated that they would not want to see each other.
But now, really in danger, Jon, who has always been selfish, can still think of her......
I have to say that Catherine was a little moved.
Not only was Jon's style surprising to her, but Andy was also a little surprised, although they had only spent one day together during the negotiation, he also observed that the relationship between the two siblings should not be very harmonious.
But at this time, he can abandon his previous suspicions and speak for his sister...... Andy has a little more affection for Jon, who looks like a rich son, who makes him have a sister at home, and a man who is willing to take care of his sister will not be too bad after all.
He was silent for a moment, nodded, and agreed to Jon's request.
The soldiers under his command easily untied the rope on Catherine's body, Catherine touched her aching wrist, and looked at Jon who was still lying on the ground, with mixed feelings.
She thought for a moment and looked at Andy pleadingly.
Andy had already guessed what she was going to say, and he didn't allow her to open his mouth at all, "When you get to the camp, you will naturally untie his rope, and don't make any more unnecessary demands, otherwise I will let people tie you up again!"
They detained the two men and had nothing to do with whether the other person was a good person or a bad person.
So even if Jon knew how to take care of his sister, it wasn't bad, all he could do was untie Catherine's rope.
Don't even think about the rest!
Catherine kept her mouth shut, not daring to say any more, joking, her hand hurt to death, as if it were about to break, she didn't want to suffer this sin again!
Jon glanced at her without a trace, suppressed the ridicule in his eyes, and didn't pay much attention to her, but said to Andy: "Sir, don't be angry, my sister also feels sorry for me, but I won't be so ignorant and cause you trouble!"
This is quite interesting, Andy bowed slightly.
Jon looked at his face a little pale, and asked cautiously, "Sir, my sister and I are already with you, so you see, can the Crovina we discussed before be released from him?" If you need to ransom him with money, then I can also write to his father, and he can pay the ransom!"
