Chapter 1657 The bribe is not paid in vain
Xiao Peng felt unwell after returning to the Netherlands.
He swears to God, he originally wanted to come back to have a good rest, but now... he can't even rest, as people follow him wherever he goes: in addition to the Dutch police and the Czech police, there are also some people who don't know where they come from.
Recalling that Albrecht had asked him about the coordinates of his submarine, Xiao Peng suspected that the people following him were the ones behind him. Regardless of who they were, with such a group of people following him, Xiao Peng couldn't go anywhere and could only stay at home playing games every day.
Bruch and Khedira have returned from the Americans – the charges they face are a farce. Vincent can easily resolve this matter.
But what the hell is going on? They are both safe, but Xiao Peng is now facing charges!
It's still a bigger farce!
The reason why the Czechs did this is obvious to everyone. They just want to take themselves back to the Czechs and control them to get back the treasure.
These European countries are basically shameless and have no principles when it comes to interests.
William often looks for Xiao Peng - he is facing a lot of pressure now.
The Czech side was also very clear: "We hope Xiao Peng will return to assist in the investigation. After all, someone died in the Czech Republic, and it's related to Xiao Peng. You have no reason not to let us investigate this matter." Although assisting in the investigation does not mean forced arrest, after all, the person died in the Czech Republic, so of course Xiao Peng must go with him!
Now that this matter has been spread, the media and public opinion are all on the side of the Czech Republic - after all, Xiao Peng is a rich man, and there are more people who hate the rich in Europe!
Moreover, Xiao Peng already has a lot of cultural relics from various countries in his hands. This incident has made many European countries united in their hatred of the enemy. At least the public opinion is very unified: Xiao Peng must come forward to resolve this matter.
William gave Xiao Peng an idea: let him find a way to bring these cultural relics back to Daxia to divert the conflict.
but……
If Xiao Peng were to move the things away, the pressure on the Netherlands would be too great, so Xiao Peng wanted to "show his appreciation".
So after the Royal Museum of Amsterdam had 25 more artifacts from the Pseudoecidian period "donated by Xiao Peng", a small truck came to Xiao Peng's home overnight.
"Brother Xiao, you're really too much of a pushover, aren't you?" Chen Zetao complained, "How come you can find treasures wherever you go?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng sighed and said, "I don't know either. Could you have imagined that something like this would happen?"
Chen Zetao curled his lips after hearing this and said, "That's what our ancestors said: 'Misfortunes often come with blessings, and blessings often come with misfortunes.' Take what happened to you. You were initially murdered, which was a bad thing, but then you discovered the treasure, which was a good thing. Finally, you were murdered again, which turned it into a bad thing again."
Xiao Peng poured Chen Zetao a glass of champagne and handed it to him, saying, "Who said it wasn't?"
Chen Zetao blinked. "Excessive joy leads to sorrow, that's what you're talking about. Weren't you having fun with those two girls at the ski resort? You really know how to have fun!"
Xiao Peng was stunned: "How did you know?"
Chen Zetao said, "Social media is full of pictures of the three of you. If they were posted back home, they'd have to be censored! I mean, you're pretty good. Do you know what they do?"
Xiao Peng spread his hands: "How should I know?"
The two girls at the ski resort, one called Deliqisha and the other called Vina, Xiao Peng really didn't know what they did.
Chen Zetao smirked, "I heard a lot of talk shows are inviting actresses from romantic action movies to participate! You're really good, you're going viral in China right now. They say you're not picky and won't let anyone off the hook! Some people are even suggesting you be banned!"
"Ban me?" Xiao Peng suspected he had misheard: "Did I hear correctly? They won't allow me to salvage the sunken ship? Who do they think they are?"
Chen Zetao said, "They're proposing to ban you and prevent you from appearing in public. They say you're a public figure, and your every move could easily mislead the growth and values of minors."
Xiao Peng's face was filled with gloom. "I really don't want to appear in public. How many billionaires like having their every move scrutinized? Please, please block me! No news about me should appear on the internet!"
Chen Zetao glared at her. "What are you thinking? I was hoping you'd do more live broadcasts of the salvage operation! Let me tell you, you won't be able to rest for long! Don't you always ignore nonsense? Why do you care about them? But I'm just curious, how do you feel about being with them?"
Xiao Peng picked up his glass and downed the champagne. "How dare you say that? It's all Anna's fault! How the hell did I know she could find these two women for me?" He then opened his desk drawer, pulled out a small USB drive, and tossed it to Chen Zetao. "Here, this is the only one! I don't have a backup!"
Chen Zetao took the USB drive and asked, "Did you get it?"
Xiao Peng snorted coldly after hearing this, "Why else would I go skiing? Anna is such a scheming woman! Deliqisha and Vina will now be visible to Western Europe. Are all the Russian intelligence agencies doing things so inexplicably? They really know how to utilize their resources!"
"But you can't deny that their method is very good. It can minimize the level of suspicion." Chen Zetao said.
Xiao Peng curled his lips. "Alright, my reputation is completely ruined. Did you hear me? I'm misleading the growth of minors!"
Chen Zetao held the USB drive in his hand and asked, "Do you know what's on this?"
"I haven't seen it, but I can guess. It's information about the 'sculpin'." Xiao Peng said calmly, "It should be the Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine, right? Speaking of which, the Russians are quite good at playing! Let the Americans clean up their messes?"
Why are America's sculpins missing? Why did the Northern Fleet suddenly conduct these exercises? To capture sculpins, of course. However, there was a minor mishap: a Type 955 strategic nuclear submarine participating in the operation collided with another unidentified submarine while en route to its rendezvous point, splitting it in two.
The Russians were also cunning. After the accident, they placed the towed sonar on the "Sculpin" directly at the scene of the accident to confuse the view, and secretly dismantled the Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine.
According to the prior agreement, a copy of the relevant information was to be given to Daxia. However, because this matter had to be kept highly confidential, Daxia was not involved in it, which is why the CIA did not investigate Daxia's involvement.
The information was already out and Xiao Peng needed to get it, but Xiao Peng was currently receiving too much attention, so this method was used to get the information to Xiao Peng. In order to reduce suspicion, Xiao Peng did not dare to contact Chen Zetao.
Now it’s good, I can finally give the information to Chen Zetao.
As for how he would take it back? Wouldn't it be nice if he could take it back with all the cultural relics?
Do you really think that the "bribe" Xiao Peng paid to the Royal Museum of Amsterdam was in vain?
