"Since they want to have a good talk, I'll have a good talk with them," Baldwin said. "Natasha has contributed a lot to the group over the years. Even if I have to give up on her for the list, I still have to give her an explanation."
Although Ricky had doubts in his heart, he did not ask. Whatever the boss said was a matter of principle.
"Then I'll arrange for someone to inform them to come down for a negotiation," Ricky said. "We must find a way to protect Natasha."
Baldwin shook his head. "I don't want to protect Natasha. I want to protect the list … As for Natasha, do your best. If there's no way to give up on her, I believe she will understand."
Ricky slowly began to understand the boss's intentions. Although the boss seemed to want to protect Natasha, he was actually worried that he would lose the important name list if Natasha was around. The name list was the key to this matter. As long as he could keep the name list, nothing else mattered, including Natasha.
"Ricky, there's no problem in this world that can't be solved," Baldwin said. "So, I believe in you. You can definitely solve it!"
"Boss, don't worry. No matter what happens, I won't let you down." Ricky made a military pledge. "The list will never leave the territory of Gelenby. If I can't do it, I'm willing to accept any punishment!"
Baldwin nodded. "I believe you won't let me down."
Ricky ordered a person beside him. "Go and inform them to come down for a negotiation. They must not hurt Natasha. As long as they don't play tricks, the boss might give them a chance."
"Yes!"
When the notice was delivered, Natasha's mood was instantly released.
The boss did not give up on her. For her, this was the best news.
"It seems that I'm right." Xu Yun smiled and looked at Natasha. He knew that although Natasha was very smart, she could not see through Baldwin's deeper considerations.
"As I said, I'm the only bargaining chip here that can let you escape unscathed," Natasha said calmly.
"Yes, you are indeed the only one." Lin Ge said. "However, we haven't escaped unscathed yet. You still need to work harder."
Natasha was stunned for a moment. "Whether you can escape unscathed or not, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with me. Do you think I will send you away? "
"Of course. Otherwise, why would we keep you?" Lin Ge said, "Don't tell me we're keeping you for a chance to negotiate with Baldwin? Then they let you go and wait for their bullets to turn you into dice? "
Natasha's expression darkened. "I've already helped you. If you want to leave, that's not something I can help you with. You can only leave safely if you're willing to leave the list in your hands."
"Natasha, stop lying to yourself. There's no need for us to beat around the bush." Xu Yun went straight to the point. "You're in our hands. Baldwin didn't force his way in not because he wanted to save your life, but because he was worried that you would betray him."
Natasha was stunned.
Even she was suppressing the thoughts in the depths of her heart, but Xu Yun could actually see through them?
Natasha had, in fact, had had one of those fleeting thoughts.
If Baldwin had asked Ricky to force his way in and put her life at risk, why would she continue to work for Baldwin?
Her loyalty might bring Baldwin victory, but she would undoubtedly die. Using her own life to help others, Natasha was not that noble. The people she wanted to help had to be able to help her. Otherwise, they would be worthless in her heart.
If Baldwin were to give up on her, the only ones who could save her would be the two before her.
If bringing the two of them out of danger was the only way for Natasha to survive, Natasha would not hesitate. Natasha would not hesitate. She would stand with the two of them without any scruples. Her life was hers, and she had to fight for it for herself!
"Don't think too much about it. It's meaningless." Xu Yun smiled and said, "What exactly is Baldwin thinking, and what exactly are you thinking? We will soon find out."
Lin Ge said with some urgency, "Let's go. We've already wasted a lot of time here."
"That's right. We've indeed wasted a lot of time." Xu Yun smiled and said to Natasha, "It's time to raise some conditions for Baldwin. Let's see if he's willing to use them in exchange for your safety."
Natasha's mood had just cleared up when Xu Yun and Lin Ge smashed her into the abyss once again.
"I hope Boss Baldwin is a righteous person. He won't make things so bad." Xu Yun said, "If things go too bad, the only one who will suffer is you, the great beauty."
"If I'm in trouble, your trouble will only be bigger than mine," Natasha said.
Xu Yun nodded. "I admit that. However, in comparison, our troubles are brought by our opponents, while yours is brought by yourself. Those are two completely different concepts. "
Natasha drew in a sharp breath.
By the time the three of them arrived downstairs, the entire villa was completely surrounded by the other party's mercenaries.
The door of the villa was wide open. Baldwin was just ten meters away from the entrance hall. Bodyguards stood close to him. There was no blind spot.
Ricky stood at the front, shielding Baldwin behind him.
"Mr. Baldwin, there's no need to be so cautious. We only have this one gun. You have hundreds of guns." Xu Yun smiled. "If you don't make a move, we won't dare to make a move."
Lin Ge's gun never left Natasha's chin. Although Natasha was just a decoration in this situation, Lin Ge wanted her to feel threatened. Otherwise, he would not be able to gain the upper hand.
"Since we've come this far, shouldn't you two let me know who you are?" Baldwin said, "That way, even if you can leave safely today, I will remember who I fell in front of today."
Xu Yun nodded. "Mm, that makes sense. Mr. Baldwin's words make a lot of sense."
Baldwin smiled. However, his smile was hidden behind Ricky. No one could see it.
"Then, let me introduce myself." Xu Yun said, "My name is Xu Yun, a Hua Xia man who dares to risk his life against you for the sake of his country."
"Good! Well said! A man who dares to risk his life against me for the sake of his country. Well said! " Baldwin clapped his hands and said, "I like to deal with Hua Xia people like you. People who speak so beautifully, people who talk so much about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, just like great men."
"Don't speak so strangely," Lin Ge said. "What do you mean?"
"No, nothing." Baldwin smiled. "It's just that when I heard Mr. Xu's words, it reminded me of an old friend I met in Hua Xia. Let me tell you, that old friend of mine is really interesting. In the words of you Hua Xia people, he is sanctimonious."
Xu Yun and Lin Ge's expressions became more and more unpleasant.
Although Baldwin did not say who he was, Xu Yun and Lin Ge were sure that this so-called old friend of his was not a simple person.
"My old friend and I have worked together a lot. According to his position, even if he lived for a hundred thousand years, he would not earn one-tenth of the funds he transferred through me." Baldwin laughed. "But he is also the same. He always talks about the interests of the country and the people. Don't you think this person is very interesting?"
Those who were qualified to talk about the interests of the country and the people must be people of high status and power. Even if ordinary people thought so, they would not talk about it because they did not have the power to solve or do certain things.
Those who talked about it must have the power to solve such problems.
"Yes, the more you like to hear, the more I will say." Xu Yun smiled. "But I'm afraid now is not the right time. Miss Natasha is still waiting for you to give her a perfect answer."
Baldwin knew that Xu Yun's words were to sow discord, so he immediately changed the topic with a smile. "Mr. Xu, tell me your conditions."
