Chapter 604 I gave him a chance
Xiao Peng lay on the deck of the small sailboat, basking in the sun, and sighed, "Brother Chen, see? Never underestimate women! She's terrifying! Why did Friedrich trust Heidi so much? Wasn't it because she was 'unambitious' and 'easily satisfied'? And what happened? She served Friedrich for twelve years, and during those twelve years, she kept a clear record of every single thing that Friedrich did wrong with his poop."
Chen Zetao said, "Brother Xiao, you've gone a bit too far. The relationships between European royal families are complex, and they're all tied to 'interests.' It might seem like you've only offended the German and Dutch royal families, but in reality, there's more to it than meets the eye. You might face even more difficulties in the future."
Xiao Peng shrugged and said, "So what? When problems arise, solve them. What does the Thirty-Six Stratagems say? 'Make friends with those far away, attack those near!' Why did I agree to that 'Three States Alliance'? Isn't it just to win over those who can? The so-called conflict is ultimately about 'profit'. Why can he only cheat me and I can't fight back?"
Chen Zetao smiled bitterly and said, "No matter what, Friedrich is in big trouble this time. Even if he becomes a rich man, he will still be in jail. Well,... given his physical condition, he may not go to jail, but he will be monitored."
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "This guy has no legs, so why is he wearing an electronic shackle around his neck?"
After hearing this, Chen Zetao said helplessly: "You are such a talker, but this information has many useful points. If you can make use of this information to make a point, the country may gain more. You..."
"Stop!" Xiao Peng interrupted Chen Zetao. "Brother Chen, that's enough. Stop talking about 'family, country, and the world' all the time. This is something I bought with my own money to vent my anger! My style is to either not use force or to smash someone to death! You said he wouldn't go to jail? Now let's just pray he doesn't die suddenly like Epstein!"
The American billionaire Epstein died inexplicably in prison. Although it was determined to be a "suicide", there were many doubts and the case was ultimately left unresolved. The reason was very simple: he was exposed to too many things he shouldn't have been exposed to.
To put it in a clichéd way: You know too much!
The more information becomes developed, the more people realize that the so-called "democratism" in Western countries is sometimes a joke.
Chen Zetao spread his hands and said, "That's unlikely. After all, he's a royal. Although he doesn't rule, royal families across Europe have enormous power. We can't open this loophole, otherwise other royal families will be insecure. He's likely to become a 'rich man' who retires to the mountains in the future."
Xiao Peng said, "Brother Chen, you seem to have forgotten something!"
"What's the matter?" Chen Zetao asked in confusion.
Xiao Peng pointed at his nose and said, "I'm a billionaire! How can he not pay me for prying into my business secrets? Can the compensation be as simple as a few melons and dates? Besides, if he wants to become a billionaire, he has to get my consent!"
"What do you mean?" Chen Zetao asked again.
Xiao Peng grinned: "Haha!"
"Damn it!" Chen Zetao punched Xiao Peng on the shoulder in anger. "You don't even trust me? Almost everyone on the ship knew there were surveillance cameras, but I didn't! Couldn't you have told me and not kept me in the dark?"
Xiao Peng handed Chen Zetao a glass of champagne and said, "Brother Chen, don't be angry. I'm just worried about your acting. Everyone on the ship knows about the surveillance, but I'm just worried they won't act well. What if Friedrich finds out something's wrong? How can I 'lure him into a trap'? So I just got a bunch of wine and got everyone drunk. Actually, I gave Friedrich a chance on this matter. I'm a relatively honest businessman. If you play nice with me, I'll play nice with you. I really intended to just give him 3.5 billion and leave the cultural relics. How could it be so simple? So there are several loopholes in this matter. He got carried away by it, what can I do? He's a good person, but he insists on being a sticky rice chicken—he's stingy and still wants to get a piece of the pie. Who indulges his bad habits?"
Chen Zetao asked hurriedly: "What's the loophole in this matter?"
Xiao Peng placed the champagne glass back on the table. "I told him I didn't need a dredging vessel to salvage this wealth. He wasn't sure what I could do. And when he came to my house to look for me, he didn't see Pascal and didn't even ask where he was. If he'd been truly careful, these would have been loopholes. But he'd been blinded by the promise of 'profit without loss,' and the result... is what's happening now!"
After hearing this, Chen Zetao sighed and said, "Brother Xiao, I feel like we should switch roles. You're more suitable for my job than I am."
Xiao Peng waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, I'm too handsome and I'm the center of attention wherever I go. I can't do your job!"
"Ugh!" Chen Zetao spat. "Don't these people have brains? How dare they attack Fabian? Haven't they learned anything from the Turks?"
Xiao Peng sighed, "This is truly unplanned. I didn't expect them to dare do this. Fabian has been wronged this time, so why is he staying in Germany? He's acting like he won't return until the Dutch IHC Group is skinned alive, but that skin will ultimately fall on Friedrich. Does he think this is still the time of centuries ago when the nobility had the final say? Now this has become a struggle between the 'new nobility' and the 'old nobility.' Fabian is no longer suffering the humiliation he felt in Turkey. To be a bit arrogant, he's now the 'link' between France and me, and it was his idea to sue in France! It's going to be exciting to watch!"
"Isn't that the whole thing?" Chen Zetao suddenly asked, "Pascal's absence was a trap you set for Friedrich. And now I've noticed your two bodyguards, Khedira and Walter, are missing. Where have they been?"
"Of course I went to dig a hole again!" Xiao Peng did not deny it.
Chen Zetao thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Peng, tell me, why didn't you use a dredging ship to get these things up here? I'm really curious, and I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try."
Xiao Peng grinned: "Haha! Let's get off the boat!"
He was indeed on his own sailboat, but it wasn't actually at sea. Instead, it was hooked by a crane to a container ship flying the Chinese flag. Xiao Peng was now suspended in mid-air like a swing. Beneath his boat lay the three large containers that Xiao Peng had tossed into the sea!
Now Pascal is leading a group of people in front of the container to sort and weigh various gold and silver coins and jewelry.
All the French royal assets that the Germans stole back then are here.
