"You're awake." Looking at Sonya, who was woken up by cold water, Li Zhigao smiled, and then put down a cup of hot cocoa, "Come, drink some hot cocoa and recover some strength." ”

Sonya, who woke up, was a little dazed at first, but quickly reacted, and instead of accepting Li Zhigao's cup of steaming cocoa, she let out a scream, and subconsciously wanted to retreat, and when she found that the lower half of her body was slippery, she stopped and picked up the blanket again.

"You bastard, you, you dare to ...... me, me" Sonia stared at Li Zhigao with anger in her eyes, "I, my father won't let you go!" ”

"That sounds familiar." Li Zhigao smiled again, put hot cocoa next to her, and then took a chair and sat down, "By the way, are you still not clear?" Still not sure where you are now? Do you want me to help you recall? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Sonia to speak, Li Zhigao took out a desert eagle with the muzzle pointed downward, aimed at his left palm and fired two shots.

The two thumping shots were crisp and neat, and after that, Li Zhigao spread out his palms, and the two bullets were impressively in his hands, but there was no trace of the beaten palms.

"You, you, monster, you're a monster!" Seeing all this, Sonia finally understood, and subconsciously pulled down the blanket, "You, you have already ...... me What else do you want? ”

"You saw it too." Li Zhigao said with a smile, "I'm not an ordinary person, not only am I invulnerable, but I can teleport at any time." You won't forget, we were on the plane, and now, we're back in Durban. ”

"Are you an alien?" Sonia suddenly asked, "Is it an alien agent?" Will you attack Earth in the future? ”

"It doesn't matter what I am." Li Zhigao didn't explain much, and deliberately made an unfathomable indifferent expression, "The important thing is." You have to understand where you are now. ”

After pausing deliberately, and finding that the other party was listening carefully, Li Zhigao continued: "You have discovered a trace of my true colors, so now you only have two choices: first, listen to me obediently and do things for me in the future." Second, I want your life now, and then I'm going to kill your whole family. Trust me, it's not hard for me to do this, do you understand? ”

"Understood."

"And which one do you choose?" Li Zhigao said with a smile, "Do you want to die, or do you want to live?" ”

"Of course I want to live." Sonia said immediately.

"If you want to live, you have to be obedient." Li Zhigao said lightly, "First of all." I know you arrested my parents, but you should understand by now that I'm actually ...... with them Hehehe, in short, they are just ordinary people, and they don't know anything about me, and I have a little relationship with them after all. So, I want you to release them as soon as possible. And it's better not to let them know too much, okay? ”

The reason why Li Zhigao said it at this time was that he deliberately looked indifferent and deliberately misled, in fact, he wanted the other party to misunderstand. I misunderstood that I didn't value my parents very much. Only by pretending not to care, the other party will not use the detained family members as bargaining chips with him, and it is the safest for himself and his family. On the contrary, if you show that you are nervous about your family, then the other party will feel that it is a strange thing. will threaten himself in turn, then the situation will not be good, and even if he can kill the other party's whole family at that time, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Of course, even if the other party does not agree to release his parents now, Li Zhigao is sure that he can save them with his own ability, but that will inevitably let his parents know that he is special, and that is not what he is willing to see. Therefore, this can only be a backup scenario, or what is colloquially known as Plan B.

Fortunately, Sonia seemed to have been frightened by Li Zhigao, and she had no intention of bargaining at all, so after listening to Li Zhigao's words, she quickly nodded: "Okay, okay, no problem." Well, actually, your parents, they, they didn't know anything, they were just brought here by my people to visit and travel, and it wasn't two days in total. As for your delay in showing up, it is also an excuse that you are very busy with work and are in the field. In short, you, you can rest assured, as long as you let me make a call, everything will be fine, and I promise to let your parents send it over safely, no, I won't let them know anything. ”

"You're smart, and I like to deal with smart people." Seeing that Sonia was obedient so quickly, Li Zhigao was very satisfied, and after throwing a mobile phone to the other party, he watched the other party call his subordinates in English in front of him.

After making the call, Sonia smiled at Li Zhigao: "Okay, I've already said it, they will soon take your family to the headquarters of your Nanxing Company, you just need to go back to Nanxing Company, and you will be able to meet your family soon." Look, are you satisfied? ”

"Good." Li Zhigao nodded, "Second, drink the hot cocoa, that's what I worked hard to make, don't drink it and waste it." ”

"Yes, yes." Sonia didn't refute either, and immediately picked up the cup of hot cocoa, and drank it as she blew, and soon drank it all.

Seeing that the other party was so obedient, Li Zhigao continued to ask: "Next, you will give me an honest explanation, why you are targeting me, when you are targeting me, in short, tell this plan to kidnap me from the beginning, and there is no concealment at all." ”

"Yes, I'll just say it, I'll say everything!" Sonia said immediately.

Next, Sonia told what happened one after another, which made Li Zhigao understand why this happened.

It turned out that although Harrison was leading the whole thing, and he was the first to target Li Zhigao and the business in his hands, in the final analysis, it was Li Zhigao's smuggling business, especially the arms smuggling business, that was getting bigger and bigger, and he had already touched the source of the local arms supplier -- the Rhineland Company.

Although South Africa is a best-selling place for arms and private guns are rampant on the market, it has gradually controlled the hands of a few large arms companies, at least at the source of arms import and export, while in Durban, all arms smuggling in the market is basically controlled by the Rhineland group, even Harrison used to be just a small distributor.

According to Sonya, although the Rhineland Group started as an arms business, it has now become the upstream of the arms industry, not only controlling the import and export channels of arms, but also having its own factories. Being able to produce a lot of weapons on its own is already a large-scale arms giant that integrates production, supply, and marketing, and is not just a second-tier dealer who resells arms, and only a military enterprise with a one-stop system of production, supply, and marketing can truly gain a firm foothold in the field of arms.

On the surface, the Rhineland company has many subsidiaries such as large machinery factories, large chemical plants, logistics companies and trading companies. It can produce its own tractors and other agricultural machinery, as well as agricultural fertilizers, chemical raw materials and other things, but these are only on the surface, this company is actually a large-scale copycat arms production enterprise, specializing in copycat weapons that are famous in the arms market, such as AKM, such as howitzers, such as Type 93 60mm mortars, etc., they can produce, and the level is not much worse than the original production.

Of course. Although the matter of the Rhineland company's copycat weapons is relatively secretive, it is definitely not a small fight like the kind of copycat factories in China. This is because the company has a deep connection with Armco in South Africa and has received a lot of technical support from Armco.

To put it bluntly, the development of Rhineland is due to a lot of help from Armko. Its earliest use was in South Africa because of apartheid. When it was sanctioned by the United Nations, it used this company to export copycat arms to earn a lot of foreign exchange, and later after the international situation eased somewhat, although Amsco was able to engage in arms exports, it was still inferior to other countries in the international market. Therefore, the big killer of cottages has not been given up.

You must know that the profits from arms trading on the surface of the serious face are limited, and they are restricted in many other ways, and they are far less profitable than arms smuggling, so in fact arms smuggling in South Africa. Basically, they go through the Rhineland company, so that if something happens, they can't blame Armco. Even, in order to completely dissociate the relationship, Armsco is clearly privately supporting South Africa's largest opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, but let the cartel. Portman joined the Incata Liberal Party.

In other words, it is no secret that Amsco is a serious weapons company in South Africa, and a company like Rhineland is a private copycat weapons company.

In the past, Li Zhigao was just making a small fuss, and naturally he couldn't attract the attention of the Rhineland company, but then in less than a year, Li Zhigao had purchased nearly 10 billion US dollars of materials from the Rhineland, including various machine tools, weapons production lines and other equipment for the production of weapons, the largest is the raw materials for the production of weapons, such as military steel, all kinds of gunpowder, various chemical raw materials such as acids and alkalis, and other raw materials, and the means he paid for were basically gold!

In other words, Li Zhigao has become the largest customer of the Rhineland company in less than a year, and Li Zhigao's company, if you look at actual profits, it is obviously impossible to support such a large purchasing power.

Originally, the Rhineland Company thought that Li Zhigao had an official background in China, but after many inquiries, it was confirmed that Li Zhigao was not a representative of a medium-sized industrial enterprise, nor was he a representative of other major forces.

There is no doubt that in today's world, this kind of thing is not difficult to investigate, so this shows a problem, there should be another smuggling line behind Li Zhigao, and it is still unknown which force this line represents.

At this time, the situation is complicated, and it is precisely because of this complicated situation that Rhineland Company has not taken action against Li Zhigao, but has adopted an attitude of continuous observation. However, as time went on, doubts grew, so the Rhineland talent decided to go straight to the point, but instead of negotiating directly, they did it in a threatening manner, and in doing so, they were actually swearing sovereignty.

In other words, the reason why people put Li Zhigao on the plane and made threats on the plane is essentially to tell the people behind Li Zhigao that South Africa, or in Durban, their Rhineland company is the boss, and you are just outsiders, and if you want to continue to cooperate, you have to keep to yourself, or show some sincerity, and stop hiding.

In short, from the very beginning, the people of the Rhineland Company did not take Li Zhigao seriously, and felt that he was just a poor worm in front of the stage, after all, Li Zhigao's personal situation, they had already investigated it clearly, and they would never believe that a small person with no background in the past would suddenly think of coming to South Africa alone, and suddenly having so much money and buying such a big business.

So. The words on the plane were all to intimidate Li Zhigao personally, asking Li Zhigao to tell his smuggling line or line, even if Li Zhigao refused to admit it in the end, they would not tell Li Zhigao what he was doing, at most they would change the way. For example, let Li Zhigao bring a message to his upline to explain the meaning of the Rhineland company.

In other words, Rhineland's original intention was to continue to be friendly with the forces behind Li Zhigao, and at the same time to show his existence to the other party, so that the other party would not always engage in smuggling under their noses unscrupulously, even if they didn't want to tell the true identity of the buyer, at least say hello to the Rhineland company.

Therefore, smuggling in Durban in the past without ever letting the Rhineland or even South African government find out is obviously a slap in the face. It shows that the Rhineland Group does not have enough control over the local area, so that people can come and go when they want. Not to mention that the South African government is not happy about this situation, nor is the Rhineland Group.

Gaining the respect of the other party and getting back some face is the ultimate goal of the Rhineland company, otherwise, it is simply to seize other people's industries. There's no need for Sonia to come out herself.

Don't underestimate this, the issue of face is very important. If there is a group that can smuggle for a long time without being detected by the local government, then the local government will definitely lose its authority. If the South African government is discredited, the cartel doesn't care, but if he and the Rhineland company in his hands are also discredited, it will be a big problem.

The Rhineland Group itself is the largest smuggling syndicate in the region, and now a newcomer has arrived. But you don't know anything about the newcomer, how can this work? can endure it until now, it is already very respectful to the other party.

"Oh, so you just want to know the identity of the person behind me?" Li Zhigao asked with a smile.

"That's right." Sonia nodded helplessly.

"That's weird. Isn't arms smuggling always a matter of whether it can be sold, so why should it care who the buyer is? ”

"It's different." Sonia shook her head, "We are not small households, it doesn't matter who we sell to, our family has a big business, and there are many things that we sell are very sensitive, so we have to know who the other party is." In other words, although my father doesn't want to lose you as a big customer, but after a long time of associating with a mysterious force that doesn't know the roots, I always feel uncomfortable for a long time, what if you are terrorists? Then the situation will be terrible, and then our family will be punished from all sides, so my father came up with this method to check your details. ”

"It was my negligence." Li Zhigao nodded.

Indeed, at the beginning, Li Zhigao also put a lot of purchases in China, but they were all insensitive things, such as light industrial products such as clothes, shoes, hats, cosmetics, etc., which were mainly used to sell for money in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. And some sensitive things, such as military machine tools, military steel, explosives, sulfuric acid and other materials, are purchased from South Africa, and the objects of purchase are basically Harrison's goods.

In this way, it is actually equivalent to Li Zhigao's narrow purchase channels for sensitive materials, such as attracting the attention of the other party.

"So, in fact, you are not trying to rob my family property? By the way, did my subordinate Bai Jingshan participate in this matter? ”

"We don't care about your property." Sonia said, "As for Bai Jingshan, he did have a part, in fact, he and Harrison were the main promoters of this matter. Of course, as far as I know, it is mainly Harrison who threatens Bai Jingshan, Harrison wants to take your place, and when the role of the agent in front of the stage, Mr. Bai Jingshan is just being coerced. You must know that Bai Jingshan is not young, and his family is basically here, so you should understand that in the face of Harrison's threat, he can't refuse. ”

"Okay, so what are you going to do now?" Li Zhigao said with a smile.

"I, I'm going to go back and persuade my father." Sonia hesitated, "I'll ask my father to stop investigating you and never mess with you again." ”

"What about business?"

"If you still want to do it with us, of course we will continue."

"Can you really convince your father?" Li Zhigao narrowed his eyes, "I won't show my ability in front of others anymore, or if I show my power in front of your father, there will be only one reason - when I killed your father." ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely convince my father!" Sonia hurriedly said, "My father loves me very much, he will definitely believe me, I promise!" ”

"I hope you can do it." Li Zhigao continued to measure, "You actually understand my ability, once I find out that you have a problem. I'm going to kill you all, and then it's useless for you to run away, and any obstacle will seem like a void to me, and no one will believe you even if you say it. ”

"Yes, I know." Sonia nodded hurriedly.

"Hmm. There is one more problem. Li Zhigao nodded, "When you see my parents later, you can go with you, even if it's my girlfriend." Anyway, we're going to make up a story, a story that makes sense, and convince my parents that you fell in love with me and supported me. Got me where I am today, you know? ”

"Understood, understood." Sonia exhaled and continued to smile, "Don't worry, I'll do what you say, um, but you should at least tell me about your family or about you." Well, it's the same 'you' thing. So I can pretend to be a little bit like that. ”

"Don't worry, I'll tell." Li Zhigao smiled.

Next, Li Zhigao told Sonia about some of his past habits and hobbies, and talked about his parents. Although I don't say much, it's more than enough to pretend to be a girlfriend after knowing this information.

And after that. Li Zhigao gave Sonya an injection of sleeping pills, let her sleep, and waited for daytime to take the well-dressed Sonya to meet his parents.

When they met, Sonia flattered Li Zhigao's parents in every possible way. Because she originally knew some Chinese, plus she was good looking, her education was quite high, and she was a master's degree from Harvard, so the old two were all kinds of satisfaction.

However, it is precisely because Sonya's conditions are too good that the old couple is very suspicious of how their children can catch up with such a big goddess as her.

For this reason, Sonia began to tell the love story of their encounter.

In her story, she used to have a very high vision, and she looked down on all kinds of things, feeling that the other party was greedy for her family's money. Then once the car broke down, and she broke down again, but Li Zhigao found her, carried her all the way to the hospital, paid the medical bills in advance, and finally walked away. Then, Sonia found Li Zhigao, and then there were all kinds of encounters, all kinds of backward chasing, anyway, in the end, she finally succeeded in chasing backwards and became Li Zhigao's girlfriend.

In a word, it was not Li Zhigao who chased her, but she fell in love with Li Zhigao, who had a noble character, and was willing to be someone's girlfriend. As for everything Li Zhigao is doing now, although she has a lot of help, it is mainly Li Zhigao's own ability.

I have to say that Sonia has a very strong ability to make up stories, and after listening to her love story about the encounter, even Li Zhigao himself felt moved after listening to it, not to mention Li Zhigao's parents, this experience is enough to make a movie.

Of course, Li Zhigao was also a little surprised that she was so upright, after all, Li Zhigao had just forced her before, and then she was forced, but her performance, how natural she looked, looked at her eye movements with affection, sometimes I really wonder if she learned acting, not MBA.

In fact, Li Zhigao didn't know that Sonya's situation was a typical Stockholm syndrome, after all, Li Zhigao's ability was beyond the scope of ordinary people, and after Sonia survived the initial panic and anger, she would soon recognize the reality, and then think about getting close to Li Zhigao, a mysterious powerhouse, and thinking about Li Zhigao everywhere.

This kind of psychological change actually happens to many people, especially people like Sonya, who have been educated by elites since childhood, cherish life, and have a high eye.

You know, Li Zhigao's ability, it's not too much to say that he is a superman, what girl doesn't want to have a rich and capable superman as a boyfriend? Coupled with the threat to life, and the fact that the other party has possessed it, it is inevitable to succumb to the strong, and then rely on the strong and curry favor with the strong.

Especially later, under the matchmaking of Sonya, the two parents also met in South Africa, as if it was really the same thing, and through this incident, Sonia's father Cartel also officially had face-to-face contact with Li Zhigao, clearing the obstacles for in-depth cooperation in the future.

Anyway, everything is moving for the better. (To be continued......)
