Freedom is never something you want to have, and this is true in any country.

The French were fighting for the freedom they were seeking, and they did not hesitate to shed their blood and sacrifice for it. But in fact, from the very beginning, they didn't know who they were fighting for.

Freely? Fair? Democracy?

These are the easiest things to inspire people's fighting spirit, but from another point of view, they are also the most empty and illusory things. Everyone who is fighting for this has no idea where these things are or when they will appear.

Of course, abandoning that, at least the current situation has changed well. The collective defection of the French 51st and 52nd Panzer Corps brought a major turn of events.

The chaotic French government now has no time to deal with the rioting citizens, and at the same time, they have lost the support of the United States, and now they are more concerned about how to save their lives and property.

President Katri and Prime Minister Cinnag are no longer trustworthy and they are not able to protect themselves, so who should they turn to? I don't know when the gossip began to circulate among these government officials: go to the Dewey Bank, where Moyol . Mr. Wittgenstein will be able to ensure their safety.

Many people have heard of the head of the "Lion Fund", Moyol. Mr. Wittgenstein's name, but what makes people wonder is that a person who does financial investment has such a great ability? But at times like these, it's worth trying. Salam, director of the Paris Bureau of Human Affairs, is one of them.

On the afternoon of the great uprising in Paris, the rebels occupied several streets. The hapless Salam family lives in one of those streets. He remembers that in the afternoon, a dozen uninvited guests broke into the house, and they announced that their house would be requisitioned "in the name of the revolution". When Salam's wife protested, the revolutionaries told her in righteous words:

"For the sake of the revolution, this is the greatest honor for you rotten elements. I don't think if you don't agree to the demands from the outside, the blood on the gallows hasn't dried up for hundreds of years......"

The poor woman was so frightened that she took her family to live in the smallest of bedrooms, and allowed the rude and rude guys to destroy her well-kept house...... She managed to talk to her husband on the phone, and when she heard the news, Salam, who was usually untouchable, was also completely frightened......

What to do? What to do? His family's lives are in danger at all times. Go to the government for help? But now the government itself is already in a hurry. Where is the time to take care of him, the director of the Personnel Affairs Bureau...... Do you just sit there and wait? No, God knows what terrible things those frenzied thugs will do......

Just when he was at a loss, someone gave him an idea. Go to Dewey Bank to seek Moyol. With the help of Mr. Wittgenstein, perhaps he could think of a way.

Salam also had a large amount of deposits in Dewey Bank, and when he heard the news, he was not very convinced at first, could a financial person really have that much power? But he was cornered. I had to take a risk and try it.

When he went to Dewey Bank. I thought the bank was closed, but what I didn't expect was that the bank was brightly lit, and there were a large number of armed guards guarding the place. From time to time, insurgents passed by the bank, but no one dared to disturb it...... And this quickly increased Salam's confidence......

"I'm here to see Mr. Wittgenstein...... Ah, I'm Salam, the director of the Personnel Bureau in Paris. Salam said cautiously.

The guard at the door glanced at him coldly: "Wait." "He doesn't seem to have this director in mind at all...... He picked up the phone and turned around after consulting the bank: "Mr. Wittgenstein is waiting for you inside......"

Salam hurried inside, and he was the first to see Rotini, the chairman of the board of directors of BNP Paribas, whom he knew. Rotini greeted him warmly: "Hey. Mr. Director, have you also come to Mr. Wittgenstein? ”

"Are you also here for Mr. Wittgenstein?" This sentence immediately irritated Salaam. It seems that quite a few people have been to Dewey Bank before.

"Ah, yes, Mr. Rotini, I'm here for Mr. Wittgenstein." Salam said cautiously.

"Then come in with me." Rotini led him to an office, knocked lightly on the door, and pushed it open.

To Salam's surprise, he actually saw his colleague here, the director of the Paris Water Bureau, Dietlie, the expression on his face at this time looked very complicated, both happy and sad, it was hard to imagine how these two expressions could appear on the same person's face......

"Thank you, Mr. Wittgenstein." Dietellio said to "Mr. Wittgenstein" Wang Weiyi, who was sitting behind his desk: "Thank you for your protection of me and my family. ”

"See you soon." Wang Weiyi said coldly.

When Dietellio saw Salam, he just nodded to him, then sighed heavily and walked away quickly......

Salam couldn't imagine what had happened to Director Dietellio, and he cautiously came to his desk: "Hello, Mr. Wittgenstein, I'm Salam, the director of the Personnel Bureau in Paris. ”

"Chief Salam, please take a seat." Wang Weiyi still said coldly: "Did you come to me for something?" ”

"yes, I'm in some trouble." Salam mustered up the courage to say: "Some revolutionaries stormed my house, seized my house, and even kidnapped my family. I don't know what to do. Everyone knows that I am an honest person, and they told me that I could find help here...... Mr. Wittgenstein, I beg you to help me. ”

"Are you an honest man?" Wang Weiyi smiled: "According to what I know, you don't have a good reputation in Paris...... You always like to use the power in your hands. To blackmail foreigners who want to settle in Paris...... Ah, I also heard that I even slept with a foreign woman once, even though she had a husband. But in order to be able to settle in Paris, he had to endure such humiliation. But how do you do it? You left the poor woman with you as your plaything for a long time, while the police of the Pakier Personnel Department took her husband away and expelled him from Paris. The poor woman still did not know that her husband was no longer in Paris......"

Salam's face turned pale, and he had no idea how Mr. Wittgenstein knew about these things......

"Well, that's your private business, and I'm not interested in bothering that much." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "Your family was kidnapped by revolutionaries? Your house has also been occupied? Of course, I can help you with these things, but only if you are willing to pay for it......"

Hope rose in Salam's heart. It seems that everything that the people outside say is true...... He thought for a moment: "Monsieur Wittgenstein, I am willing to pay you twenty thousand francs. ”

"Remuneration? I don't need to be paid, twenty thousand francs? Wang Weiyi snorted lightly in his nose: "Director Salam." You can now leave my office. ”

"Wait, wait." Salam hurriedly said, "Then how much do you need?" ”

"Let's see how much money you have in Dewey Bank...... Wang Weiyi looked at it carefully, then raised his head and said, "What surprises me is that you actually have 6.2 million francs in Dewey Bank?" Yes. That's a lot of money. A Director of the Personnel Affairs Bureau. Where did you get all this money? ”

"That's what I've been saving for so many years...... Mr. Wittgenstein. Salam said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"I don't have any interest in the source of this money." Wang Weiyi smiled: "However, this allows me to make a general assessment of you." Ah, now I have a price. Chief Salam, if you are willing to sign a contract that promises to automatically forgo all of your deposits in Dewey Bank, then I will try to rescue your family. ”

Salam was completely stunned and automatically gave up all his deposits in Dewey Bank? Crazy, Mr. Wittgenstein must be crazy. If you agree to this request. Then I'm crazy too.

"That's 6,200,000 francs!" Salam cried out, "No, no. Mr. Wittgenstein, I will never agree to such a request! ”

"Calm down, Chief Salam." Wang Weiyi interrupted the other party: "No one will force you to do this. We're in business, we're not robbers. You know, we want to save your family and get those revolutionaries out of your house, we also have to pay a big price, will we pay these funds? The revolutionaries are getting out of control, and the longer it drags on, the more I wonder what they will do. 6.2 million francs? That's the guarantee of your family's life! ”

"No, no, that's just too much." Salam muttered, and then he begged as if there: "Please, Mr. Wittgenstein, 1 million, I'm willing to give 1 million!" ”

"All, 6,200,000 francs!" There was no room for bargaining in Wang Weiyi's voice at all: "This is not just saving your family's life, but also saving your own life." Mr. Salam, I think you can take a look at this thing. ”

He pushed a document in front of Salam, who took it and looked at it, his face completely changed.

This is a list drawn up by the "National Provisional Assembly" of a number of high-ranking government officials who must be severely punished after the victory of the revolution, and his name is prominently among them.

He could have imagined what kind of treatment he would have suffered, how the revolutionaries would have treated him with great cruelty, and he could have imagined the terrible things that were about to happen.

Oh my God, what the hell do those revolutionaries want to do?

"You're going to be guillotined, Chief Salaam, just like all the terrible things that befell all the officials during the Revolution of 1789." Wang Weiyi sneered and said, "Moreover, you have nowhere to go. The whole of Paris has been locked down, and there is no one in the whole of Paris who can shelter you except me. Will it cost 6.2 million francs, or will you and your family be guillotined? Director Salam. My time is very valuable, and I don't have much energy to bargain with you here! ”

A statement of voluntary renunciation of all property in the Dewey Bank was placed in front of Director Salam......

Will it cost 6.2 million francs, or will you and your family be guillotined? Mr. Wittgenstein's words kept echoing in the ears of Director Salam...... He glanced up at Mr. Wittgenstein and saw that the man seemed to him to be a demon at this time......

Trembling, he picked up his pen and trembled as he signed his name on the statement...... When he put down the pen, he suddenly felt that he was so pathetic, that he had worked so hard for so long. As a result, all the property completely became someone else's, and there was nothing left of himself.

Wang Weiyi took a look at the statement. smiled with satisfaction, and then took a document that had been written a long time ago and handed it to Salam: "Take this document to your home, you and your family's lives can now be guaranteed, and. Those people will soon leave the house that belongs to you. ”

Right now. Salam understood exactly what the expression on Mr. Dietellio's face he had seen when he came in...... exchanged his life savings for such a talisman......

"Another one, huh?" Watching Salam walk out dejected, Rodini said with a smile: "We have met more than a dozen people, and the wealth of Dewey Bank is increasing rapidly. What a genius you are, Mr. Moyol, for you have planned it all from the beginning. ”

"yes, I've had it all planned from the beginning." Wang Weiyi said lightly: "Is the wealth of Dewey Bank increasing rapidly? Ah, maybe. Mr. Rodini. We now have to talk about your question. ”

"My problem? What's wrong with me? "Rodini stayed there.

Wang Weiyi clicked on the list he had shown Salam: "Have you noticed, the 125th name on this list?" Is it you, Mr. Rotini? ”

Rotini had never looked at the list in its entirety, and he looked at it tremblingly at the reminder of "Mr. Moyol". In an instant, his face was so pale. Yes, the 125th name on the list, it is written exactly itself!

"These damn thugs!" Rotini cursed, then forced a smile, "You'll protect me, won't you?" My Honourable Mr. Moyol. ”

"Of course I want to protect you, you are my right-hand man." Wang Weiyi smiled ambiguously: "But this involves a problem, as I just said to Director Salam, to deal with those revolutionaries, it takes a lot of money, everyone must pay, no one can be an exception." And what about you, Mr. Rotini, what are you prepared to give? ”

Rotini was completely stunned.

Mr. Rotini, what are you prepared to give?

At this time, Rodini suddenly remembered a French proverb: "When dealing with lions, although it seems that lions will help you a lot, sooner or later you will be eaten by lions".

Sooner or later, you will be eaten by a lion. Lion? Lion funds? Rotini suddenly thought of the "Lion Fund". Could it be that "Monsieur Moyol" has also heard this French proverb? Could it be that this "lion fund" has been hinting at something there for a long time?

"You, what price do you want me to pay?" Rotini's whole person is in a state of collapse.

He saw more than a dozen people lose all their possessions, and this was the last thing he could bear.

"Why should you be afraid, Monsieur Rotini." Wang Weiyi smiled and said: "No matter what, you are my most powerful assistant, and there is always some difference between you and them." You can keep most of your property, but you will also need to sign a declaration and some legal documents that you will unconditionally transfer Dewey Bank to the Lion Fund, and in return you will be able to guarantee the life of you and your family, and of course, your property. ”

Rotini didn't know what to do. Do you give away most of your life's work to someone else? No, it was terrible, he never thought something so terrible would happen.

"I— I'm not alone in my hands, it's the rest of the board." Rodini said in a dying struggle.

"You don't have to worry about these things." Wang Weiyi stood up and moved his muscles: "All you have to do is sign your own name on this statement and these legal documents." As for the other members of the Board of Directors? Ah, I think I'll take care of that. Monsieur Rotini, I will be out for two hours, hoping that before I return, I will be able to see what I want to see. ”

He no longer paid attention to the stunned Rotini, but walked out of the hall slowly. Outside, Duoduoan was already waiting for him.

"Baron Alexon, the bad guys have been punished, haven't they?" Dodoan said excitedly.

"All the bad guys will be punished." Wang Weiyi replied with a smile: "And now it's time for good people to be compensated!" ”

"Where are we going now?"

"Go and tell the good people that they are not abandoned by fate!" (To be continued......)
