Lorraine immediately went on high alert.
What was the Soviet Union trying to do?
First, the KGB's Far Eastern Bureau had approached Qin Baye to help him escape.
Then the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs had approached him …
Lorraine said coldly, "Mr. Peter? You can talk to my secretary if you have something to say. "
He was about to hang up the phone.
The caller was Huo Shaoheng.
He stood in front of the window and looked out at the clear blue sky and the lush greenery downstairs. He didn't mind Lorraine's refusal and continued, "I'm in the room next to your hotel. If you're interested, we can talk face to face."
Lorraine's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
In the room next to his?!
Had his whereabouts been exposed?!
He was silent for a few seconds before nodding. "Okay, you can come to my room if you need anything."
There were about a dozen staff and bodyguards in and out of his room. The other party was only one person, so no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't kill all of them at once.
Also, this was the Huaxia Empire, not the Soviet Union. He didn't believe the other party would be so bold as to openly fight him here.
Lorraine put down the phone and rubbed his furrowed brows.
After a while, the doorbell to the hotel room rang.
One of Lorraine's bodyguards opened the door and saw a handsome man with a dignified appearance standing at the door. He was so handsome that no one could take their eyes off him.
He wore a well-ironed suit, but the tightly wrapped shirt and trousers didn't make him look civilized. Instead, he exuded a strong sense of aggression and an intimidating aura.
It was as if he wouldn't hesitate to snap anyone's neck no matter who stood in his way.
Although the person who opened the door was a seasoned bodyguard, he was still intimidated by Huo Shaoheng's aura and immediately bowed respectfully to make way for him.
For these bodyguards, they had more animal instincts than ordinary people. They could instantly tell who was a big shot, who was someone they could not afford to offend, and who was a weakling they could bully at will.
Huo Shaoheng walked in calmly and extended his hand to the serious Lorraine in the living room with a smile. "Mr. Lorraine, I'm Peter, the Deputy Chief Consul of the Soviet Consulate General in C City. — Nice to meet you. "
Lorraine didn't shake his hand and arrogantly looked him over from head to toe.
He had to admit that as far as Asians were concerned, the person in front of him was indeed an elite in terms of appearance.
Compared to the white elites, they were not much inferior. In fact, they might even surpass them.
However, he didn't think that Huo Shaoheng's abilities could be compared to elite white people.
It's just his good looks, Lorle thought inwardly.
He stood up slowly but didn't shake Huo Shaoheng's hand. Instead, he took out a cigar and lit it on his palm.
The staff beside him immediately stepped forward, took out a knife to cut off the end of the cigar, and then lit it for him.
Huo Shaoheng's outstretched hand seemed a little awkward, but he naturally went with the flow and raised his arms in front of him. "I'm here to negotiate. Everyone, don't be nervous. I'm not armed."
He made it sound like Lorraine was afraid of him!
Lorraine could no longer maintain his composure. The corner of his mouth twitched as he nodded. "What does Mr. Peter want to talk about?"
Huo Shaoheng glanced at the people in the room with a smile. "Are these your confidants?"
Do you really want to discuss our plan with me in front of so many people?
Lorraine turned and said, "Come in with me."
He led Huo Shaoheng to the small guest room of the hotel suite. His bodyguards and staff closed the door and stood guard outside.
Huo Shaoheng followed him in and sat down in front of Lorraine.
Lorraine crossed his legs and took a puff of his cigar. He asked nonchalantly, "Mr. Peter, what brings you here?"
Huo Shaoheng leaned forward slightly and stared into Lorraine's eyes. He went straight to the point. "Mr. Lorraine the Third, you came to Huaxia for Qin Yaoguang, not for Qin Heye, right?"
Lorraine's eyes narrowed as he instinctively retorted, "… Neither. I came to Huaxia for sightseeing. "
Huo Shaoheng laughed soundlessly. He looked at Lorraine mockingly and raised his brows slightly. His entire person was indescribably flirtatious, as if the aggressive aura from before was just a facade.
Lorraine felt very uncomfortable under his gaze, but he still forced himself to say, "Mr. Peter, there's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."
Huo Shaoheng leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs casually. He rested one arm on the sofa's armrest and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest. He said calmly, "It's not that I don't believe you. Looking for someone and sightseeing aren't contradictory."
Lorraine was speechless.
"Alright. Since Mr. Lorraine wants to beat around the bush, I don't have that much time to entertain you. " Huo Shaoheng stood up. "You have your plan, and I have mine. Since we can't work together, we'll each rely on our own abilities."
Lorraine didn't expect this Soviet to be so impatient. He was going to quit after just a few words.
He hurriedly stood up and asked tentatively, "Mr. Peter, are you really a diplomat from the Soviet Embassy? What kind of cooperation do you want with me? I'm not a public official. "
Huo Shaoheng smiled and took out his ID. "Take a look for yourself. You can also get your people to check with the Soviet Union to see if I'm a Soviet diplomat."
Lorraine quickly glanced at Huo Shaoheng's Russian ID. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he changed his expression and relaxed with a smile. "Then what exactly does Mr. Peter want to talk about?"
"Mr. Lorraine hasn't answered me yet. Are you here for Qin Yaoguang?"
"Of course." Lorraine was being honest. "Not only Qin Yaoguang, but also Qin Baye. I want to take both of them away. "
Huo Shaoheng put his hands behind his back and stood up straight. He was a head taller than Lorraine. "You're really confident that you can really take these two people away from the He family? The He father and son hate Qin Yaoguang and Qin Baye. "
"Hahahaha, you don't have to worry about that. I have my ways." Lorraine laughed heartily and looked very happy.
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips and his expression became serious. "But we also want Qin Yaoguang. What should we do? Mr. Lorraine, can you be magnanimous? You want Qin Baye, and we want Qin Yaoguang. Let's work together and take what we need. How about that? "
"You can take what you need for something like this?" Lorraine laughed and shook his head. "No, we want both of them. Not one less."
"If you can part with it, I can tell you Qin Baye's whereabouts right now," Huo Shaoheng said calmly. Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "Our people just spoke to him on the phone and confirmed his coordinates."
Lorraine's expression changed when he heard that. He first cursed Qin Baye for being so stupid. How did he get targeted by the KGB?!
But on second thought, Qin Baye's phone was specially made, and he had personally sent someone to deliver it to him.
This high-tech phone couldn't be cracked by any current means. How did this Soviet man crack it?
But then he thought about how Huo Shaoheng was most likely backed by the KGB, and it was very likely that he was the KGB himself!
Many diplomats were intelligence agents, and this was also a tacit secret between countries.
Lorraine's pupils contracted again. "Mr. Peter, are you really a diplomat? Aren't you from the KGB? "
Huo Shaoheng also looked surprised. "You already knew that we spoke to Qin Baye?!"
"Didn't you say that you spoke to him?" Lorraine averted his gaze uncomfortably.
"But what I just said was that our people just spoke to him on the phone. If you only got the information from me, you wouldn't think that it was the KGB. I'm just a law-abiding diplomat, "Huo Shaoheng said with a faint smile. Huo Shaoheng smiled faintly. "But you mentioned the KGB all of a sudden. That means that you know who called Qin Baye."
No one else could come up with this reasoning.
Lorraine glared at Huo Shaoheng, neither admitting nor denying it. "I don't care what your motives are, but don't even think about taking these two people away from me!"
Huo Shaoheng clicked his tongue. "You make it sound like you've already got them. Do you know where Qin Yaoguang is? Where did Qin Baye move to? If you don't believe me, you can try calling his phone and see if you can still get through. "
Lorraine stared at Huo Shaoheng suspiciously and dialed Qin Baye's number again.
Just as Huo Shaoheng said, Qin Baye's phone was turned off and he couldn't find any trace of him.
"This old bastard!" Lorraine gritted his teeth and cursed. "What the hell is he trying to do?!"
"What is he trying to do? Of course, it goes to the highest bidder. Hang it up and sell it … "Huo Shaoheng said meaningfully. He then took out his phone and played a recording of Qin Baye's call with the KGB to discuss terms with Lorraine.
[If you really want what I have, you should at least give me this amount and give me a legal identity in the United States. Also, send your people to protect the safety of my family for the next 100 years.]
[Don't forget, Mr. Lorraine from America also wants what I have. He offered this amount.]
Lorraine: "!!!"
Qin Baye had everything going for him. The price he offered to the KGB was already several times higher than his own. It was almost half of the Lorraine family's wealth that they had accumulated over hundreds of years!
If Lorraine's guess was correct, Qin Baye would soon return with the KGB's offer to negotiate with him.
Lorraine's mind raced, but before he could make a decision, his phone rang. It was an unknown number with a text message. [I'm Qin Baye. This is my new number. The phone you gave me accidentally fell into the bathtub. It's flooded and can't be used anymore.]
Lorraine was expressionless as he answered the phone in front of Huo Shaoheng.
As expected, Qin Baye was demanding an exorbitant price on the phone and offered Lorraine an even higher price. It was more than half of Lorraine's entire family's wealth!
Lorraine's knuckles cracked.
However, he didn't show it in his tone and said pleasantly, "Okay, I'll think about it. Do you want to have your phone repaired? It's not safe to call me from another phone. "
Qin Baye laughed heartily and said, "It's fine. I got someone to buy it for me. No one will know that I'm using it. "
He had bought it online anyway, so the person who bought it had nothing to do with them. They had gone through a lot of trouble to get it to him.
Moreover, the phone was installed with a program to hide his IP address. No one would be able to locate him.
Qin Baye finally felt safe.
After putting down the phone, Lorraine's expression immediately changed. He extended his hand to Huo Shaoheng. "… Let's get these two out of the country together. Then we'll study it together!"
Huo Shaoheng nodded and shook hands with Qin Baye with a smile. "Deal."
