“Useless!” He faced the mirror and said a word slowly. He took the cellphone over and took a deep breath. He dialed the shadow’s number. He tried his best to use pure Chinese-style English to converse with the shadow. “I have a business that I want to talk to you about. It’s a fat sheep. It is up to you to raise the price for the transaction. How’s that?”
The shadow laughed. His voice was a little piercing. “How do I know whether what you say is true or false?”
“For mercenaries like you, what’s the difference between the truth or lies? It’s fine as long as you all recognize money,” Jack said calmly. “You can betray anyone for money, not to mention the master. How much did Morgan give you? If you do business with me, I’ll give you double the amount.”
“Your tone is rather arrogant!”
“I am the only child, and my family is very wealthy. I can afford it no matter how much you want. It’s just that I want Mu Yuan alive. If you touch a strand of his hair, you will not get a single cent.”
“Mr. Shan, I didn’t expect your relationship with Major Mu Yuan to be so good. You are willing to be reduced to poverty to save him. I am touched by you. For us mercenaries, it is not wrong to do things for the sake of money. It’s just that the mercenaries’ only creed is not to betray the master. Since the master wants Mu Yuan’s life, how can we dare to defy him? This is not our usual style.”
The way the shadow talked was extremely gentlemanly.
Jack turned around, took a deep breath, and said calmly, “Your transaction with Morgen has already ended. He wants you to catch Mu Yuan, but he did not let you transport him. He is in the hands of the storm mercenaries, and they are earning twice the amount of money. Will you all be satisfied? If you are satisfied, you would not have kept following him all the way. You can earn a portion of the money from my side. I will also not get in the way for Morgan’s side. How is it?”
Jack appeared to be extremely anxious. This kind of anxiousness seemed to be more in line with the shadow’s mind. The shadow was indeed being moved. “Come alone and bring a box of cash as advance payment.”
“Sure. Address!”
The shadow immediately sent an address to him. When Jack received the address, he immediately sent a text message to Ye Tingyun. “I want five million dollars with non-continuous serial numbers. Send it to me here immediately.”
“Five million?” Ye Tingyun exclaimed. He did not open a bank. If he had wanted five million in New York, it could be done within minutes. But he wanted five million in Somalia. No one could give him that amount in one and a half hours.
“You cannot take five million USD out?” Jack’s voice fell. “I’ll return it to you later.”
The Ye Family was not required to fork out money to save Mu Yuan.
“It’s not the problem of who is the one giving money. Of course I have five million. You also have to see where it is. Wait a while. I’ll check the nearest contact point and send the money over. It’ll take at least five hours to send it to you. The sky will be bright by then.”
Ye Tingyun continued. “I have a way instead. There is a newly developed viral weapon in the base near us. It is also worth a few million… ”
“Impossible!”
“Weapons are more valuable than American dollars in that area. It is more suitable for you to bring weapons for an exchange.”
“Ye Tingyun, do you know how much damage you will cause if you take the viral weapons that you all have developed to trade in the market? If they resell the weapons and I don’t buy them back on time, they might land in the hands of some radicals or get replicated on a large scale. How many terrorist attacks will our country suffer? How many people have to be in a state of anxiety? How many people have to die? It is a homeland security issue that cannot be compromised.”
Even if Xiaoyuan is in the hands of the enemy.
He could exchange his own life for him. He would not use the lives of the people in his own country in exchange for his life.
Ye Tingyun said, “Alright, I know.. I will prepare the American dollars as soon as possible.”
