Chapter 1361 Wouldn’t it be better for that kind of person to die?
When Li Ye first heard Lu Jingyao say that Lu Zixue "no matter what his nationality is, he is a flower grower who was born and raised to grow flowers", he almost thought that Lu Jingyao had completely evolved and turned into the kind of sophisticated and selfish little fairy that she would be a few decades later.
During the mask period, the Zhonghua family provided free treatment to their own people. Runren, who had long since given up his Zhonghua nationality, returned to China and also used similar excuses to compete for the qualification for free medical care.
"Although I've given up my Chinese nationality, I'm still a Chinese with yellow skin, black hair, and a Chinese language. Why wouldn't you treat me?"
I cured you?
How can they be so confident?
If your biological father is rich, he is your biological father; if he is poor, he is your biological father, right?
However, when the embassy staff sternly questioned Lu Jingyao, "What nationality is Lu Zixue?", Lu Jingyao did not make a fuss like those people in later generations.
She didn't even have the energy to argue. She just apologized to the embassy staff in shame, then dragged her tired feet and walked out dejectedly.
[Well, it hasn't evolved completely yet, but at least it still feels ashamed.]
Li Ye shook his head, said hello to the embassy staff, and prepared to leave.
But Comrade Wang stopped Li Ye and asked with a frown, "Comrade Li Ye, are you familiar with Lu Jingyao?"
Li Ye didn't hide too much and told the truth: "We are from the same county, but after she was admitted to university in 1981, we basically had no contact."
Comrade Wang thought for a moment and said doubtfully, "After we received the call from the kidnappers, we tried to discuss the ransom, but they said that Lu Jingyao was very rich, at least tens of millions of pounds.
If that is the case, I suggest she find a good lawyer and try her luck at the British Embassy. A citizen of a British dependent territory is actually a citizen of the United Kingdom, provided he has money.
"How much? Tens of millions of pounds?"
Li Ye was stunned.
How much is tens of millions of pounds? Converted into RMB, it is hundreds of millions!
Although Li Ye is very rich now, even richer than those who "have no concept of money", he will not consider 100 million as a "small goal".
Because Li Ye knew very well that if he did not have "god-like foresight" and if he did not have the blessing of monopoly privileges, then in this era where even pigs can fly to the sky, he might not be able to make 100 million, and he might even be bullied and lose his pants.
For ordinary people, one hundred million is too difficult, really too difficult.
Lu Jingyao is Jonina's agent and housekeeper. She is the kind of person who gets a salary. According to the standards of some Western people, she is not even considered middle class.
Because the way those people are evaluated is that they don’t rely on salary to make a living.
"Could it be that Lu Jingyao has also made a fortune?"
Li Ye couldn't help but ask Comrade Wang, "How did the kidnappers know she had tens of millions? How much ransom did they want?"
Comrade Wang held his forehead and said helplessly, "It was Lu Zixue who told the kidnappers herself. She also told me to quickly get her sister to bring 20 million pounds to rescue him."
[Oh my god, what a scumbag! 】
"Okay! I'll go tell her."
Li Ye thought about it for a while, agreed to Comrade Wang, and stood up to say goodbye to him.
The other party was very polite. While shaking hands with Li Ye and saying goodbye, he said: "The order in Ukraine is currently in chaos. Our embassy is still under construction and is not capable of handling some difficult problems.
I heard from Captain Zhou that one of your classmates has some connections in Ukraine, maybe you can ask someone to help you get some information."
"Okay, okay. I'll ask someone about it when I get back."
Li Ye politely said goodbye to Comrade Wang and turned to leave the office.
But after he turned around, he always felt that the other person was looking at him from behind.
[Is he reminding me? Or is he doubting me?]
Li Ye's family knows their own business, and he is indeed worthy of suspicion because he really has a "connection" with Pavlov.
But at this moment, it was not convenient for Li Ye to ask Pavlov or inform Pavlov to "release the person", because if he did so, it would really confirm his identity as an accomplice in the kidnapping case.
That's why Li Ye wouldn't "deal with some tough troubles."
Didn’t Comrade Wang also reject Lu Jingyao on the grounds that it “did not comply with regulations”?
Lu Jingyao is of the nationality of the Flower-Growing Family. According to the Flower-Growing Family's "helpful" nature, this matter should be between helping and not helping.
But he doesn't want to get into trouble, so why should Li Ye get into trouble?
After Li Ye left Comrade Wang's office, he saw his young wife "coldly confronting" Lu Jingyao, Lu Jingqi and Gao Xiaoyan.
Wen Leyu was obviously in a bad mood. Although Lu Jingyao said, "I believe Li Ye is not that kind of person," it eventually alarmed Captain Zhou and the embassy people, which was equivalent to implicating Li Ye.
This involvement could be major or minor. If Li Ye didn't have strong support, someone might point out at a critical promotion point, "This person was once suspected of kidnapping. For safety's sake, it's better to choose someone else."
The thing that flower growers have the most is people. If you have any flaws or stains, you may be abandoned.
Seeing this, Li Ye felt helpless.
He insisted on bringing Wen Leyu here today. One reason was that Wen Leyu had enough ability to "vindicate" Li Ye. If the people from the embassy insisted that Li Ye was related to the kidnapping case, Wen Leyu could at least try his best to get him out.
The other reason is because of Lu Jingyao.
Although the young wife trusts Li Ye very much, it is best for her to be present when meeting with Lu Jingyao to avoid any misunderstandings.
But now looking at Wen Leyu's domineering look as he faces three people at once, it seems as if Li Ye and his wife are bullying others.
Li Ye walked straight up to Lu Jingyao and said calmly, "Comrade Wang just told me that your brother called you in front of the kidnappers and asked you to bring 20 million pounds to rescue him? Is that true?"
Lu Jingyao's face turned red, obviously very ashamed, but she looked at Li Ye without saying a word, neither shaking her head nor nodding.
Li Ye continued, "Comrade Wang said that if you have that much money, you can hire a team of powerful lawyers from Britain and then go to the British embassy to negotiate on behalf of British citizens. You can also be considered a British citizen, but you need to be rich."
“.”
Lu Jingyao was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook her head, not knowing whether she meant that she didn't have that much money, or that territorial citizens were not considered British citizens at all.
But Li Ye didn't care. He said, "I have already conveyed the two sentences that Comrade Wang told me. It is none of my business whether you listen to them or not."
But just as Li Ye turned to leave, Lu Jingyao behind him seemed to have made up his mind and said to Li Ye: "Li Ye, can you help us? We really have no other choice."
Li Ye frowned and said softly, "That kind of brother of yours, shouldn't he be dead?"
