Chapter 350 The Necessity of Lomachenko’s Existence
Olga was wearing a black backless evening dress and had delicate makeup on. She was shocked to see Xiao Peng carrying her father outside the rooftop with one hand.
"Xiao, what's going on?" Ou Jia asked in shock.
Xiao Peng asked Ou Jia, "Ou Jia, don't you know?"
"What do I know? Let my father go!" Olga said angrily.
Xiao Peng looked into Ou Jia's eyes, not seeming to be lying. He sighed and said, "Ou Jia, I now understand why your father arranged so many bodyguards for you."
Olga asked, "What do you mean? What happened?"
At this moment, Pascal, Walter and others were also brought up. Seeing this, Walter and Bruch walked forward quickly, picked up the gun thrown by the bodyguard on the ground, and began to guard the surroundings.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Peng threw Lomachenko directly in front of Walter, and Walter pointed the gun directly at Lomachenko's head.
"Xiao! What's going on?" Olga asked with wide eyes.
Xiao Peng walked to the table and poured himself a glass of champagne: "You should ask your father."
"Dad!" Olga looked at Lomachenko.
Lomachenko could finally breathe smoothly and took deep breaths. He smiled bitterly when he heard Olga's words, "Olga, I was discussing business with Mr. Xiao. The deal didn't go well and it turned out like this! You raise the price and pay it back. That's how business is negotiated. Don't think too much. It's okay."
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this: "Lomachenko, why don't you tell Olga how you had your bodyguard point a gun at me and force me to agree to cooperate?"
"Dad!" Olga looked at Lomachenko with wide eyes after hearing this.
Lomachenko lowered his head and began to remain silent.
Xiao Peng sighed. "It seems you've managed to maintain a good image in front of your daughter. Olga, how do you think your father accumulated all his wealth? I wonder how much blood was shed on it."
Olga was dumbfounded: "Dad, tell me this is not true!"
But Lomachenko didn't respond.
Olga understood what was going on after seeing this scene, but this was her father after all. She looked at Xiao Peng: "Xiao, what are you going to do to my father?"
"How should we deal with him?" Xiao Peng laughed. "What can I do? If I mess with a big shot like your father, I won't be able to escape in time! So I decided to go back to Odessa and get away with it. But your father is so powerful, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Odessa alive, so I decided to take Mr. Lomachenko with me to Odessa. This way I can be safe. Don't worry, he is your father. As long as he doesn't commit suicide, I won't take his life. I just want to give myself a little more protection. If you are worried, you can follow me."
After hearing this, Olga asked, "Will you let my father go once we get to Odessa?"
"Of course." Xiao Peng nodded. "What can he do if he gets on my ship?"
Olga took a deep breath and said, "I'll go with you. When are you leaving?"
"Now!" Xiao Peng said, "Let's drive back."
Ou Jia said: "I'll ask someone to arrange a car right away."
At this moment, a young man in a suit hurried over. He was stunned by the scene and said to Lomachenko, "Boss, something bad has happened!"
Lomachenko heard this and said, "What happened?"
The young man in the suit said, "People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Finance are conducting a joint raid to investigate the tax issues at our hotel's casino!"
"What?" Lomachenko's face turned pale. "That's the Ministry of Finance's business. What does it have to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
The young man in the suit coughed dryly twice. "The Ministry of Internal Affairs said they are here to investigate the kidnapping of a Chinese VIP, and they are also accompanied by personnel from the Chinese Embassy!"
Lomachenko's expression changed when he looked at Xiao Peng.
Isn't this just the boss of a newly established deep-sea salvage company? How does he have so much power? It's only been a few minutes, and their people have already come knocking on his door?
It's understandable that the Ministry of Finance would come to investigate. These money managers have deep ties to Russia. This is Ivan trying to teach him a lesson! But why did someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs come? Or was it someone from the Chinese Embassy who came directly?
He really wanted to ask Xiao Peng: Who are you? Are you the illegitimate son of some leader?
"Boss? What should we do?" asked the young man.
Lomachenko smiled bitterly and said nothing. What else could he do at this point? No matter what he did, he would end up dead! At this moment, Xiao Peng's phone suddenly rang. Xiao Peng saw that the number was Ivan's.
"Ivan?" Xiao Peng answered the phone: "What's going on?"
Ivan coughed dryly and said, "Xiao, your attack is even more ruthless than mine!"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Ivan said, "I just contacted the people at the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance to teach Lomachenko a lesson. You are directly contacting the Ministry of Internal Affairs to kill him!"
Xiao Peng looked helpless: "This really wasn't me. You know, I'm a relatively kind person. But you're quite impressive. You know what happened in Ukraine directly?"
Ivan smiled and said, "Despite the strong anti-Russian atmosphere over there, Russia's power in Ukraine is far greater than you imagine. Let's get down to business. I want you to show some mercy and spare Lomachenko's life."
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines. "Why don't you believe me? I really didn't do this, but I don't object. After all, this guy just told me that 'a wealthy Chinese man's drug overdose and fall from a building in Ukraine is no accident'. This is a blatant threat to me! What I hate most is being threatened!"
Ivan said, "Xiao, let me analyze this for you. Your company is in France, and I don't need to tell you how severe the tax situation is there. Although I know you have the means to avoid taxes, you're in the marine salvage business, and you'll face the problem of selling many difficult-to-sell artifacts, which requires money laundering methods. To be honest, the Ukrainian parliament passed the proposal to legalize gambling because of Russian forces. We all need a place to launder money, and Lomachenko's casino is such a place. The benefits of having him are greater than getting rid of him. You can let him serve you better in the future."
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll think about it."
Ivan said, "Also, I promise that you won't encounter any more difficulties in Ukraine."
"Really?" Xiao Peng said disdainfully, "Ivan, aren't you afraid of being slapped in the face too quickly?"
"What do you mean?" Ivan asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng said, "Just now my employee called me and said our ship was blocked at the Odessa dock! I haven't even started serious salvaging in the Black Sea yet, and I've encountered more trouble than ever before! Ivan, tell me, how can I continue to stay here?"
