Chapter 1280: You're in Trouble, Sir
He didn't panic when a sharp object that tingled Pete's waist squeezed his skin.
He thinks that there is no flaw in his current identity, and these people are not necessarily coming to him because of his previous affairs, but more likely because he seems to be wealthy.
There is never a shortage of poor people in this society, poor people with empty ambitions and desires that have no practical meaning.
They can always find many reasons for their poverty, to prove that the root of their poverty is not their own fault, it is the fault of this society, it is the fault of other rich people, and those rich people do not give him any opportunity to be rich like him, and threaten those who are already rich, so they are doomed to poverty.
It's a bit of a mouthful, but it's a good reason to use it badly.
There are poor people who will talk to others every day in the slums, in the lower towns, on the side of the road or in front of their homes, about "if" they plan to make a lot of money and what to do with it, and they will just say that they will never do it, and these people are safe.
But there are some people, they are just as poor, they also think that the main problem of their poverty is not their own, they are a little different from the above kind of people, that is, they are really good at becoming rich, such as taking risks and doing something illegal.
Anyone who knows even a modicum of law knows that the most profitable deals are written into the law, and it is up to those who may have made money through these methods to decide that they can no longer be used and copied by others.
It's narrow, but it's the foundation of social stability, and it's hard for the first person to be convicted of it, but the second one is definitely going to be unlucky, and it's a process of building from scratch, although in the eyes of some people there may be some problems with this construction process.
These people will monetize their desire for wealth by illegal means, robbery, smuggling, human trafficking, and they will do it anyway as long as they can make money, even if it is at the risk of breaking the law.
After being pushed into the car, the car started slowly, and when the car began to move, Pete reacted, "Gentlemen, I am a generous businessman, and all who know me will admit it. โ
"If you guys have some problems at hand, I'd be happy to help you through the current situation, and we'll be good friends, don't you think?"
He didn't speak at the outset in order to avoid misleading them into thinking that his actions were dangerous and stabbing him in fright, so he didn't communicate with them until the car started.
When the car starts to drive, a small enclosed space will be formed, and this small space still belongs to these kidnappers, so at this time, even if he says something or even moves his body, these people will not be busy stabbing him and running away.
Indeed, as Pete had imagined, he spoke and moved his arms to make himself more comfortable, and instead of stabbing him, these people put the knife away.
But they didn't speak, they didn't answer, which made Pete's scalp tingle slightly, and he thought that these people were looking for him for money, but now it seemed unlikely.
The whole kidnapping process was fast and skillful, which also made Pete mistakenly think that these people were specifically engaged in kidnapping and extortion, and he miscalculated the form.
The car is still driving in an orderly manner, and the interior of the car is extraordinarily quiet and depressing.
There were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street outside the car window, and the tall buildings were gradually disappearing, and Pete began to feel uneasy, this place was far away from the downtown area, and if he was really killed here, no one would hear him shout in his throat, let alone anyone would come to his aid.
Just as he was thinking about whether to save himself, the young man next to him may have noticed a slight change in him, and whispered, "We have some things that we need your cooperation, sir, as long as you cooperate with our next actions, I guarantee that you will not be injured, of course, provided that you can't do something dangerous." โ
I don't know if it was this sentence that worked, or if the verbal communication made Pete feel a little reassured, and his tense muscles relaxed again, "Need me do something, or what do you want to learn from me?"
He asked, then looked at the young man beside him, who smiled and replied, "A few small things that won't delay you too much, sir, and please be quiet." โ
Pete didn't say anything more all the way, he settled down somewhat, and about thirty minutes after he got into the car, the car stopped in a warehouse in the warehouse area near the city.
His warehouse manager works here and helps him watch the warehouse, and some goods that need to be transported abroad will be sent to the warehouse here for storage for a few days to a week after signing a consignment transportation agreement with the company.
The night before the ship docks, the cargo is then transported by truck to the terminal's temporary inspection warehouse for inspection, after which it can be loaded onto the ship the next day.
As for why it wasn't placed in the dock warehouse at the beginning, it was purely because the warehouse over there was too expensive, and the high one was a bit scary.
When the car was stable, the folding door of the warehouse fell with a bang, Pete looked back through the back window of the car and watched the folding door slowly close, cutting off the last ray of light from the outside world, and the whole warehouse became a little dim, and he felt inexplicably uneasy again.
"Please get out of the car, sir......", the young man next to him had completely given up controlling him, gave him a lot of space, and was very polite to him, but the more he did this, the more he felt an indescribable fear.
He nodded, and quickly got out of the car, hand and foot, and in this seemingly unproblematic motion, he quietly grasped the pen in his jacket pocket, and put it into the hem pocket for decoration.
This fountain pen is extremely valuable, in addition to being able to write, pushing off the cap by pushing instead of rotating, revealing a miniature letter knife.
It may not be able to make a big visual impact and make people feel intimidated, but it can kill when it weighs on someone else's vital point.
He got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and stood still.
Soon, several footsteps came from the corner of the warehouse, and Pete turned to look, somewhat stunned, as the boy who was shining his shoes stood with the others, and at this moment, he was angry.
Not only did he patronize the child's business, but he also kindly gave him two more dollars, but what did the child do?
Just because of his generosity, he thought he was a rich man, and then kidnapped him with these young men, intending to make a lot of money from him?
That's why there are always people in this society who complain that "kindness has become the food of the devil's stomach, and only fangs can protect themselves from harm", because they repay kindness with malice!
He suppressed the anger in his heart, and had already made up his mind that once he was out of danger, he would definitely have this child and the others here sent to the grave, so that they could understand that in this world, some people are low-key, but it does not mean that they can tolerate the offense of others.
"Is that him?", the guy next to the boy, a young man who looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old.
This guy is wearing a very simple set of clothes, which gives people a bit of a rigid feeling, especially the neckline of his small vest is a bit like the inner lining of a priest, lacking agility and trend, and more old-fashioned and solemn.
The kid stared at Pete several times, then nodded, "Yes, it's this gentleman......"
The young man nodded and touched the child's head, "Okay, you go back first, I'll look for you later......", he said, and grabbed the child's shoulder, and the child turned around and walked towards the duty room, which should have a small door leading to the outside.
After watching the child leave, he walked into Pete, looked Pete up and down, and said with a smile, "Can you stretch out your hands, like this, the back of your hand up!"
This guy made a demonstration, Pete followed, he was a little strange, if just now he suspected that these people were trying to kidnap and blackmail him, now he doesn't think so, because the kidnappers only want money and leave safely after getting the money, they don't play games with hostages.
Some of the old-fashioned young men looked at Pete's hands for a while, and then made another request, "I heard the child say, you have a pocket watch, can I look at it?"
Pete was stunned for a moment, although he nodded, but slowed down the movement of holding the pocket watch, and first touched the pockets that did not contain the pocket watch to delay the time.
He took off his ring, changed his belt, burned his shoes and his clothes in the West, but he didn't change the pocket watch.
On the one hand, he really likes this pocket watch, in addition to being very, very valuable, it also has a lot of special significance, for example, this is the first high-end jewelry that Pete has customized for himself after founding the Earth God Cult.
He spent more than 20,000 yuan for this, which may not be a lot to him now, but for him at that time, it was a huge amount of money, and it was also a souvenir for him to prove himself.
He could be sure that there were almost no people who knew that he had this pocket watch, except for a few masters who made it, but the purpose of these people was so clear that he couldn't help but wonder if he was ...... Exposed!
When he put his hand in his pocket, pushed the cap of the pen hard, and looked up at the young man opposite, he was ready.
He was less than a meter away from the guy who seemed to be the boss of the gang, and he could have rushed forward quickly to hold this guy hostage, and then found a way to get out.
His eyes became a little erratic, but soon became firm, and just as his hand began to pull out, and his body had begun to subconsciously lean forward to take a step forward, the young man quickly pulled out a gun and put it against the door of his head, which made his brain go blank for a moment.
"I see something terrible in your expression, slow down, take it easy, take it out of your pocket. The young man's observation was very meticulous and decisive, "Don't make a move that misunderstands me, although I don't want to kill a person who may be innocent." โ
Pete slowly pulled out his pocket watch with his other hand, and gently released the hand holding the pen, allowing it to slide back into his pocket.
The young man took Pete's pocket watch in one hand, and then pulled it so hard that the shelf at the other end of the chain clicked and loosened, and the whole pocket watch fell into his hand.
He took a few steps back before retracting his gun, and then began to look at the pocket watch in his hand.
The exquisite carvings of the runes, and the head of a woman outlined with colored gemstone inlays, are exquisite, noble, not ordinary things.
When he looked up at Pete again, there was a little more smile on his face, "This gentleman, you're in trouble!"
In the next second, Pete felt the wind in the back of his head, and before he could dodge, his brain trembled, his eyes turned black, and he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
It was late afternoon when Durin received the call, and he had been discussing the spring propaganda offensive with mayors everywhere all day.
Some people don't think there is a need to advertise to attract tourists, and these people believe that word-of-mouth and word of mouth are much more important than handing out flyers and holding various promotional activities, and that there is a Western Avengers to be released this summer, which is equivalent to advertising the tourism industry in the West.
Those who think this way tend to be older people, who are relatively closed off from the news in the backward west, and have been seriously disconnected from the forefront of trends, which makes them completely conservative on certain issues.
Coupled with the poverty of the past, they have an addiction to loose finances, and they are unwilling to spend money indiscriminately to make their money bags empty again, so they are somewhat resistant to Dรผhring's demands.
Eventually, at Doolin's request, the men agreed to Doolin's plan and promised to act as soon as they returned.
This year will be the first real peak for tourism in Ambiluo, with paintball guns and ammunition made to order from the arms companies already in stock, and Doolin has begun to arrange for former gold diggers to systematically hide these weapons and ammunition in the mountains and wilderness of Ambiluo.
They would then record the locations of the weapons and ammunition on a map, which would become an important item for the first Battle Royale game of the West, as well as an invitation to the world-class military tournament that only visitors with "map pieces" would be able to participate in, for which Cable Group paid two million for the rights to broadcast the "Battle Royale."
Up to 1,500 cameras will be installed in 24 regions to ensure that the process is clearly visible from the preliminary round to the finals, and that it also protects the players.
A series of propaganda and big moves took a lot of Doolin's energy, and it wasn't until after four o'clock that he finished the meeting, and then he received the phone call.
After some silence, he commanded, "Send someone to me, and I will see him." โ
