Chapter 48 [Conditions for Buying Lives]
Probably no one would have thought that now that the war situation has not been settled and the situation has not calmed down, I will not do "business" and just stretch my hand to the smuggling trade at sea in such a hurry.
And I have another intention: after all, Wick has been in this industry for many years, and he is familiar with all aspects and is well-informed. I need him to help me with the news...... At the very least, I can't let the Cobra leave Vancouver right under my nose!
"Where to go?" Ciro asked me.
I frowned, gently rubbed the sore spot on the back of my shoulder, gritted my teeth, and said, "Go...... See them in stone. ”
Along the way, Ciro concentrated on driving, while paying attention to the front and back of our car to make sure that no one was following, and then we arrived at a pre-prepared place...... It's an old factory, and we hid a car in it for transit. Here we changed to a pre-prepared pickup truck and got back on the road, so as to minimize the possibility of being tracked.
I was a little unsettled, and from time to time I looked at the time on my watch, and I couldn't help but take out my phone to look. All this was seen by Ciro. He didn't ask at first, and it wasn't until later, when I looked at my phone for the third time, that he said, "Are you waiting for a call?" ”
"Hmm...... Hope I guessed correctly. I smiled wryly and looked out the window.
Well, the news of the death of the eighth master. It has already been transmitted to Asia by stone...... It's been a long time.
For such an important matter, Fang Fatzi must have gotten the news as soon as possible...... Moreover, here in Canada, as soon as the eighth master dies, I am the greatest, and everyone understands this result!
But now it's a few hours later...... With my personal friendship with Fang Fatzi. He didn't even call me...... Could it be that something has changed? Or does Asia not want to recognize me, the successor of the eighth master?
Just as I looked at my phone for the fourth time, my phone finally rang. It's just that I saw that it was an unfamiliar string of numbers......
Looking at this unfamiliar number, my heart moved! A smile came to his lips......
"Hello!" I picked up the phone.
"Mr. Chen Yang?" A hoarse man's voice came from the other side: "I'm Da Ruan!" "It's Chinese and it speaks very fluently.
I wasn't surprised at all: "Oh, Mr. Da Ruan. You've finally taken the initiative to find me. I don't know why you came to me? Is it a negotiation...... Hehe, but the hatred between our two sides may not be resolved through negotiations. ”
"You and I both know that." Da Ruan said coldly: "No need to go around in circles...... My brother is in your hands! ”
"Huh?" I feigned surprise and said, "Why do you think that?" ”
"No one else can do this kind of thing but you." Da Ruan's voice was filled with deep resentment, and his voice was hard and unpleasant: "But I admit it. You're really playing with this hand this time! ”
"It's over." I said lightly: "So what do you mean by calling me?" ”
"My brother...... I want my brother's life back! Da Ruan said slowly.
"Alas......" I deliberately sighed and sneered, "This joke is not funny at all!" Da Ruan, we are now as deep as the sea! Xiao Ruan fell into my hands, do you think it is possible for me to put him back for you? ”
“…… If ......" Da Ruan's voice was very deep: "What if I offer a high price!" ”
"High enough? How high can it be? I said in a solemn tone: "Can you give me back the lives of my dead brothers?!" ”
"Humph!" Da Ruan's tone was high, and he shouted, "Chen Yang." You're the boss too! Since the two sides are fighting, of course, there will inevitably be casualties, and many of my men have died, and the losses are much heavier than yours! Hum...... The stronghold that jǐng Fang just copied not long ago was reported by you! ”
I smiled and said nothing.
"I'll give you the drugs back." Da Ruan quickly opened the conditions.
I sneered.
"I can get out of Vancouver with my men! All my land is yours! In the future, if your little fifth brother is in Vancouver for a day, I will never set foot here! ”
I still sneered, but the more I laughed, the harder I laughed, I almost laughed out loud, and then said in an infinitely mocking tone: "Da Ruan." Are you an idiot to me? Or are you yourself an idiot in the first place? ”
“……”
The other party stammered, and I didn't hesitate. He said slowly: "Hmph...... Return my drugs. Ceded all the territory, you Vietnamese withdrew from Vancouver...... If it had been placed before. That's a lot of money! However, in the current situation, the price you opened is almost not worth a dime! ”
The other party was speechless, and I said sharply: "Drugs are not drugs...... Even if you keep it...... Hmph, in this situation, you Vietnamese are street rats! You keep drugs, will the angels of hell dare to cooperate with you? Whoever touches you now will be unlucky! As for you ceding the territory to me...... Take the person with you out of Vancouver for good...... Joke! Big joke! Now you are the number one public enemy of the jǐng square! The Jǐng side has made up its mind to completely eradicate you Vietnamese! Your territory will be placed there without you ceding it...... Won't I reach for it myself? Hum! As for whether you quit Vancouver or not...... Do you dare not to retreat? You don't retreat,. If you stay here, you will be driven to death by the jǐng party!! ”
“……”
After another period of silence, Da Ruan's tone seemed to have compromised a lot, and he seemed to sigh helplessly: "Okay, what conditions do you need to release my brother!" ”
I was silent for a moment and sneered: "Okay, you promise me three conditions, I will consider leaving Xiao Ruan alive!" ”
"You say!"
"The first condition, I want a cobra! These guys are what you found...... I want all these people's lives! ”
Da Ruan seemed a little embarrassed, he hesitated, but he said very boldly: "I'm afraid I can't do it...... I'm short on manpower right now, these people are very powerful, and I'm afraid my people may not be able to kill them all. ”
I laughed: "You don't need to do it, you just sell them to me, I'll do it myself!" ”
"Yes!"
"The second condition...... I want money! After the war is fought, the defeated side pays for the military expenses, which is an international practice, right? Not much, two million dollars! I sneered, "This price is not low...... However, since you plan to quit Vancouver from now on, you will take your younger brother back to Vietnam to retire...... So in a place like Vietnam, you don't need to keep too much money, right? ”
"Money is not an issue." This time, Da Ruan answered very happily.
Indeed, if the people are gone, why do you still keep the money?
"The third condition...... I want to be alone!! "I'm holding the phone in one hand, and I'm already clenching my fist in the other! Gritting his teeth, he said slowly: "I know, you buried a nail in me!" This person, you have to give it to me! I'm going to skin him and cramp! ”
"Deal!" Da Ruan seems to have done nothing to save his brother's life at this time.
I casually reported an account to a Swiss bank, and Da Ruan immediately said that he would remit $20 million to the account within 24 hours at the latest.
"I'll keep your brother's life first...... When you've fulfilled all three of these conditions, come back to me. ”
I hung up and closed my eyes.
"Xiao Wu, do you really want to let go of Xiao Ruan?" Ciro interjected.
I smiled and tugged at the corners of my mouth: "I only said to spare his life, but I didn't say to let him go." ”
"However, if you want a cobra, you want that inner jiān, I understand...... You want 20 million dollars...... Why? ”
I smiled wryly, patted Ciro on the shoulder, and looked at the guy seriously: "Siro, Siro...... You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! Since I took over this stall, I have fought with people, the arms used, the compensation for the dead and wounded brothers, and the aftermath...... Don't spend money on that? But we already have a rì no entry! Now most of the brothers in the garage don't know, only the bookkeeper and I know...... The little money in our garage is almost bottoming out! Damn, do you think our family is a mountain of gold and silver? The eighth master used to be too strict with his financial rights, and the money was in his hands, but now that he is dead, legally speaking, those are all properties in his name, what if he can't get it? With so many brothers eating with me, I can't afford to be empty-handed. Hey ......"
Seeing that Ciro didn't speak, I continued: "You don't have to worry about money, I've already asked Xiaozhu to find a lawyer Zhou." The property controlled by the eighth master, the documents must be placed in Lawyer Zhou, and Lawyer Zhou is our own person, so there must not be much of a problem. Moreover, we have had a hard time lately, and the other gangs are also having a hard time! Now that jǐng is inspecting the strict, which yard dares to open the door to do business? They have all run out of food, and now they will eat and store up food! If the jǐng party continues to check like this, in less than half a month, we don't need to fight, those little brothers under the gangsters, without money, will riot themselves! People come out to mix in the underworld, and they don't have any money to take it, who will do it! ”
I explained this carefully to Ciro, and it was useful. I really want Ciro to get rid of the knot in his heart as soon as possible, and the best way is to find more things for him to do...... Moreover, let him feel that I am in trouble right now and need him as a brother!
"What's next? What's left to do next? Ciro said, "Shall we go back?" Or go somewhere else? ”
I retracted my smile and said slowly, "No...... Let's go ......."
I gave an address.
There are some things, and it's time for Ciro to know!
