He asked directly, "Are you short of money? How much do you need? You've helped me, and I'm willing to help you. "
Li Du was not a philanthropist, nor was he the Virgin Mary. He would not help a person for no reason, but he was not cold-blooded either. If someone he knew was in trouble and needed money, he was willing to help.
Wolfgang had saved him and Sophie, so he was even more willing to help him. In addition, this man was a master at hiding and fighting, and seemed to be suitable as a bodyguard. Li Du wanted to recruit him.
Hearing his words, Wolfgang's eyes lit up and then dimmed. He said in a low voice, "Millions."
"Dollars?" Li Du was stunned.
"Yes, 900,000 in euros." Wolfgang was quick to convert the exchange rate.
Li Du wondered, "That much?"
Wolfgang became a taciturn again and kept his mouth shut.
Li Du tapped the table with his fingers. If the other party needed tens of thousands of dollars, he could help, but a million was too much.
Wolfgang saw his dilemma and drank his coffee in one gulp. "Thank you for your hospitality. We're leaving."
Li Du stopped him and said, "Can you get a million through legal means?"
Wolfgang bowed his head and said nothing.
Li Du sighed. "It's not that I don't have the money, but I need to see your value. If you can help me, maybe I can help you."
The veins on Wolfgang's forehead bulged. He looked at his daughter, and after a moment of silence, he took the initiative to approach Li Du and whispered, "Kill someone?"
"Huh?" Li Du was confused.
"Help you kill someone?" Wolfgang asked again.
Li Du quickly shook his head. What the hell, man, what are you thinking? Although I'm not very open and aboveboard in business, I don't do anything illegal.
He explained, "Bodyguard, I need a bodyguard, but he has to be good enough. Although I don't have many enemies, I'm rich, and many people are eyeing me."
This was a little arrogant. He did not have much cash now, but his value was indeed high. In the future, as he found more and more gemstones, his value would increase.
Wolfgang's eyes lit up again and he said, "I, you found the right one."
Li Du said helplessly, "Say a few more words. To be honest, I already have a taciturn subordinate. If I add you, you will suffocate me to death."
Wolfgang said, "I graduated from the University of Leipzig at the age of 20 and joined the German border guards. At the age of 24, I was selected for the KSK. At the age of 27, I joined the SEK. At the age of 31, I joined the GSG-9 and led the Ground Commando Team B. I carried out security missions for all the international leadership conferences in Germany from eight to two years ago..."
When it came to introducing himself, Wolfgang was no longer taciturn. He spoke eloquently and fluently.
It was a pity that Li Du could not understand what he was saying. Besides, Wolfgang's English was average, and so was his English. Hence, when the other party spoke, Li Du just listened.
In short, after listening to him, he felt that Wolfgang was very impressive. Of course, based on his understanding of this man, he was indeed very impressive. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to recruit him.
When Wolfgang had said this, he looked at him with a straight stare.
Li Du waved his hand and said, "Look at me more gently. Alright, you seem to be very powerful? Why did he come to America? And it seems like he's doing pretty badly? "
As he spoke, he looked at the little girl who was wolfing down the mousse cake. This was already the second serving. It was obvious that the little girl had not eaten such a worthless snack for a long time.
Wolfgang continued to be silent and did not seem to want to explain the topic.
Li Du said helplessly, "Alright, you're the boss. If you don't want to say it, then forget it. But I hope you're really good."
Wolfgang said, "I'm an excellent bodyguard. I left Germany because I offended a lot of people. I came to America to treat Ivana's illness."
Li Du said, "There is a high demand for excellent bodyguards in America. There are also the most security companies in the world. Why don't you go and find a job?"
Wolfgang looked at his daughter awkwardly and whispered, "I have to take my daughter with me at all times! The security company does not accept this condition! "
Li Du was stunned. "Take your daughter with you at all times? How can you be a good bodyguard? You have to protect your daughter first when you're in danger, right? "
Wolfgang said firmly, "This is the condition, but I will be a good bodyguard."
Li Du rubbed his hands. Wolfgang's condition was ridiculous. Who would bring their daughter to be a bodyguard? Who was the one protecting whom?
This put him in a difficult position. He wanted to help Wolfgang. It did not matter if the other party asked for a high salary, as long as he had the ability to do so, and being able to protect him was the most important thing.
However, the other party not only wanted a high salary, but also a burden. Li Du did not believe that if he were in danger, Wolfgang could protect his daughter and himself at the same time.
Moreover, he was offering a million dollars just to get 'incidental' protection?
Wolfgang picked up his daughter and was about to leave. Li Du thought for a moment, took out all the cash from his wallet and handed it to him. "You don't seem to be in a good situation. I... "
"Thank you, I can handle it." Wolfgang did not look at the money in his hand and left with his daughter.
Li Du sat in the coffee shop until noon and then had lunch with Sophie.
After entering the restaurant, Sophie asked curiously after ordering, "What did you talk about with Mr. Muller? You didn't talk about his daughter, did you? "
Li Du said, "No, why, what happened to his daughter?"
Sophie held his hand and said, "You know I love you, dear, but there are some things I can't tell you. This is a patient's privacy. Ivana's situation is very bad. That's all I can tell you. "
Li Du said, "I know, he told me he needs a million dollars."
Sophie sighed. "It's too difficult. If everything was normal, I think Mr. Muller would have the ability to make money. He's really a very good man, but now it's very difficult."
Li Du was not familiar with his situation and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Sophie said, "I talked to Mr. Muller for a while. He was a very good soldier in Germany. Later, some bad things happened, and he had to come to America. I'm not very clear about the details, but I understand him. "
After that, the female doctor began to sigh. When Li Du asked her related questions, she did not say anything, especially when it came to Ivana.
American doctors paid great attention to protecting their patients' privacy, which was a professional quality. Even if Li Du was Sophie's boyfriend, Sophie would not say such things to her parents.
In the afternoon, Li Du returned to the cabin. Hans was on the phone selling some of the precious goods he had bought. He had nothing to do, so he played with Ah Meow and Ah Ow.
When he was free, Hans asked him, "Li, what's the next work plan?"
