Chapter 512 Kidnapping and Extortion
"How dare you! ! ! "
The bodyguards behind Hanelson saw that they dared to humiliate their own majesty, and immediately stepped forward with a fierce look.
Qiu Tianjun and his men did not retreat, and the two sides immediately became tense.
Just when the situation was about to explode, a gentle and smiling voice came over: "Today is the big day for the Qiu family and Jialan Country to get engaged, why make it so bloody?"
"Miss Xia, I miss you so much after not seeing you for so many days!"
As he said, the man's deep dark green eyes fell on Xia Shengge's face.
Seeing that her hair was messy, he reached out and gently sorted it out.
Xia Shengge turned her head away.
Arthur was not angry, but turned to Hanelson and said with a smile: "Father, let's do business first! As for family affairs, we can go back to Jialan Country to deal with them."
Hanelson's sinister and deep eyes retracted from Xia Shengge.
Xia Shengge felt that the creepy feeling of being stared at by a venomous snake or a ferocious beast disappeared in an instant.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help frowning and looking at Arthur not far away.
She always felt that DKing gave her a different feeling today.
It seemed that there was no suffocating feeling that made her heart feel oppressed.
Was it her illusion?
But soon, Xia Shengge had no time to think about what was wrong with Arthur.
Because Dick's voice spread throughout the banquet hall.
Dick was a native of Jialan, but he spoke fluent Chinese.
"Ahem... Hello... Hello... Dear guests, good afternoon! Hello everyone, I am Dick, a close minister of His Majesty Hanelson. I don't know if you recognize me, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can hear my voice."
Dick's voice was enthusiastic and flamboyant, and there was also a sincerity in his tone that made people subconsciously want to get close to him.
So many people in the hall laughed in a flattering and kind manner.
"Of course we can hear it!"
"Lord Dick, you are known as the money bag of the Kingdom of Jialan, how could we not know you?"
"Yes, yes! Lord Dick, please say whatever you want to say!"
"Hahaha, are you going to announce His Royal Highness Arthur's marriage on the spot?"
Dick smiled and waited patiently for them to finish speaking, then cleared his throat and said, "It's good that everyone can hear it. It seems that the sound equipment of the Qiu family is still very good."
Another burst of laughter broke out in the hall.
But the next moment, the smiles on everyone's faces froze.
Because they heard Dick say: "Since you can hear it, please listen carefully. Do you... want to live? If you want to live, use the money that matches your status to redeem yourself!"
As he said, Dick waved his hand.
A table was immediately projected on the wall in front.
It was densely written with the names, identities, companies of the guests present today, and...
The last line was shocking, the ransom.
Almost everyone's ransom was more than 100 million.
It was an astronomical figure that made people's scalps numb when they saw it.
After a moment of silence, the banquet hall suddenly erupted with fierce shouting and cursing.
"What a joke?! We just came to attend the Qiu family's banquet, why should we pay the ransom?"
"Are you kidnapping? In my port city, this is illegal!"
"Yes, you, the Jialan country, are so unscrupulous in committing crimes in my Chinese territory, aren't you afraid of causing diplomatic disputes?"
Dick calmly looked at these well-dressed and fat people and cursed.
After a while, he raised his index finger and shook it, "Nonono, dear gentlemen, you are wrong. This ransom form is not something you have to give."
"But what? If you don't give it, I can't guarantee that you can leave the Qiu family yard in one piece."
"What? You said you are going to sue us for kidnapping and extortion?"
Dick laughed.
That smile was indescribably contemptuous.
Then the smile faded, and suddenly became extremely cold and murderous: "That depends on whether you have the life to get out of here alive and call the police."
"Haha, you are all powerful celebrities, you have to think clearly! Money is not as important as your life."
"Without this little money, you can still find a way to earn it back."
"But if you lose your life, you will have nothing."
"And what about us! As long as we return to Jialan before you are able to call the police, who can catch us? Who can prove that we killed people?"
Watching the rich people's faces turn pale, Dick's smile became more cheerful.
Some time ago, because Lili Island lost control, Jialan Country cut off its most important source of income.
It also paid a large sum of money.
He has been waiting impatiently for today to get a lot of money from these Hong Kong rich people.
Dick clapped his hands and smiled, "Okay, tell me, who will pay the ransom first?"
"If you refuse to transfer the money after the deadline, I will assume that you value money over your life."
As soon as Dick finished speaking, dozens of tall and strong bodyguards with weapons stepped forward.
The weapons in their hands, which emitted a cold light, were looming.
The rich people's faces turned pale, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads.
Their eyes were full of anger, but they dared not speak.
Think about the history of the rise of the Jialan Kingdom and the cruelty it had shown before.
They didn't dare to gamble at all.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall, which was just full of singing and dancing, was now frozen.
All that could be heard was the sound of people panting.
After waiting for a long time, no one spoke. Dick laughed and said, "It seems that no one has the priority to redeem their lives. Then I can only name a name... Mr. He!"
Dick looked at He Chengdong and said with a smile, "Mr. He, don't you want to have in-depth cooperation with Jialan? Now is your best chance to show your loyalty to His Majesty!"
He Chengdong's greasy bald head was completely wet with sweat.
While wiping his face with his sleeves, he trembled and said, "Mr. Dick, this... this 600 million is too much. I... where can I get so much cash!"
Dick raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "Mr. He, don't lie to me. If I remember correctly, a large amount of money has just been transferred into your company account recently, no more, no less, exactly 600 million."
He Chengdong's face changed drastically.
He didn't understand his company's cash flow, so how could Dick know so well?
But this money must not be withdrawn in full.
He Chengdong stepped forward and said anxiously: "Master Dick, I mortgaged several fixed assets and two subsidiaries to get this 600 million. It is a very important project advance payment, and it will be delivered in two days. Once this money is gone, our company's capital chain will be broken. By then, my He family will go bankrupt!"
