Now, the entire Paris was looking for Jiang Cheng. The Triad was very powerful, and Jiang Cheng had stayed in the nightclub in China City for too long. The surveillance cameras had captured his face very clearly.
Moreover, the scene of Jiang Cheng being taken away by Stephen was also captured. The Triad knew that Jiang Cheng was taken away by the government. Now, all of them were thinking of ways to come in and kill Jiang Cheng.
Stephen was also having a headache now, and it was even worse for Chief Lehr. He thought that he had caught a big fish, but he did not expect that he had caught a hot potato. This hot potato was a hot potato in his hands. The Triad people were now asking for the murderer, and the Merikans were eyeing Jiang Cheng covetously. China had also sent someone over, and the person was of high status. He was the son of the current General of the China Military Commission. This matter had developed to a very complicated stage.
Now, things had reached a situation that Lehr could not control. The Merikans, Koreans, Japanese, Triad people, and China people were all staring at the two people locked in the basement. Everything that happened to these two people could cause a series of violent reactions.
Lehr's heart was almost on the brink of collapse. He thought that he could claim credit, but he did not expect to be the scapegoat. Lehr scolded in his heart, "Stephen, you idiot. You only know how to cause trouble for me!"
When he said this, Chief Lehr had forgotten that he was the one who had ordered Stephen to capture Jiang Cheng. Moreover, he could not fail. If something went wrong, he would shift the blame to someone else. "Chief Lehr, I'm not here to waste my breath on you.
My dad said that no matter what, you have to bring my brother back. If you let him go, he will take some coercive measures. Or, the military purchase plan between the two countries in the second half of this year. My master might have some opinions. Now, the Russians have a good relationship with us. The Su-35 is already in the process of negotiation. I think your Phantom is not as good as the Su-35! "
He Xiang saw that Lehr did not speak for a long time and only held a cup of coffee with a taut face. He immediately understood what this guy was thinking. He Xiang had studied in Europe and majored in Western politics.
He Xiang was very clear about the thoughts of the bureaucrats in these capitalist countries. Once the matter was in a major direction, these guys could not sit still.
Sure enough, as soon as He Xiang said this, Lehr's expression changed instantly. Arms sales were a national affair. It was not something that a small Security Bureau Chief like him could decide.
Lehr immediately said, "That, Mr. He, please don't worry. We can still discuss this matter. In fact, Mr. Jiang did not do anything illegal in Paris. We are still investigating why he made a scene in the nightclub. However, I believe that Mr. Jiang is a smart person. He will not be so stupid as to kill people at will. Besides, the impact of this incident is not big among the people, and it is not a terrorist attack. I think I should apply to our minister to see what should be done about this matter. If it is possible, I believe that Mr. Jiang will soon regain his freedom!"
When Lehr said this, He Xiang's heart calmed down. This guy gave in. Sure enough, what Dad said was right. As long as they did not let him go, they could just casually say something and these French people would be worried.
Now that France's economy was not doing well, their arms business was not doing well. Many countries could buy American arms, and Russian arms were also being bought. The weapons made by China were even more powerful. Because the quality of China's weapons was good and the price was low, they had been selling well in the international market.
France's weapons were not outstanding, but the price was not as good as China's. Now they could only take out some high-end weapons, and China lacked this kind of technology in some areas. As the trump card technology of the Phantom, the Chinese government had always wanted to import it, but due to too many obstacles, it had not been successful.
Originally, they planned to secretly sell a few in the second half of this year, but now they were only in the preliminary contact stage. In order to not sell their own things, the French people were very anxious. Now that they changed their mind and said that they did not want it, it was really over. All their previous efforts would be in vain.
China was rich. They could buy from the Russians. It was not like they had to buy from France. Lehr did not dare to take such a big risk to imprison a person who was not of much use to him.
After thinking about it, Lehr finally decided that this person could not be locked up in the basement. He still had to be released!
"Director Lehr, then I will wait for your good news. If there is any progress, please call me. I will send someone to pick you up!"
"Okay, no problem. I will give you an answer in three days!"
Both sides shook hands and said goodbye. They went back to their respective homes.
.....
Two days later, He Xiang received a call from Lehr. Lehr said in a low voice on the phone, "Mr. He, I have spoken to the minister. He agreed to release the person, but you have to compensate for some losses. The amount is not big, only one million euros. Consider it as the construction cost for the damage to the city!"
"No problem. You give the person to me, and I will give you the money! We will hand over the person and the money at the same time! "
"Okay, then it's settled. Let's meet at the park in the middle of the street at three o 'clock in the afternoon!"
Both sides quickly settled on the meeting place. After He Xiang hung up the phone, he finally let out a sigh of relief. The matter was finally resolved. I have completed the first task that my dad gave me.
As the first time He Xiang went abroad for a mission, he was very excited. He immediately called his father in the country. Old General He happened to be awake at this time and was still working in the office. When he received the call from his son, General He was not surprised at all.
"Why, did the French give in? Are they going to release the person? "
He Xiang said excitedly, "Dad, how did you know? I just casually scared them last time, and they immediately said that they would consider it. It has only been two days, and they gave me a reply that they will release the person. Dad, you are too accurate. The French really do not dare to not release the person!"
Old General He smiled amiably and said, "Of course, because I hold their lifeline in my hands. Alright, after you get Jiang Cheng out, bring him back to the Huaxia Empire immediately. I want to teach this little bastard a lesson. Old Ning is gone, and now I'm his superior. He has to listen to me!"
"Dad, I understand, but there is a small problem. The French said that they can release the person, but they want a million euros!"
"Only a million, it's really f * * king cheap. We won't pay for it, let Jiang Cheng pay for it himself. This brat caused the trouble himself, so he should take responsibility for it. He has money, so just let him pay for it. Okay, that's it, I still have work to do!"
Old General He hung up the phone without any hesitation. Only He Xiang, who was on the other end of the phone, felt a little sad. Ever since his father was promoted, he had less time to talk to him. His mother saw that he came home so late every day, and her heart ached terribly.
But as a son, he could only support his father's work unconditionally. His father was now a general of a country, and the burden on his shoulders was very heavy. As a general of the country, he had to protect the country and the safety of 1.3 billion people. He had to work hard!
Now He Xiang understood how hard it was for those high-ranking officials. They had endless work to deal with every day, and they had endless worries every day. They worried about the big family, but they had no time to take care of their own small family. He Xiang had forgotten when was the last time his family ate together.
On the other side, Stephen was puzzled by his superior's order. He frowned and asked Lears, "Director, we finally caught such a big fish, why are we letting it go? Don't you know the significance of Jiang Cheng? We can use him to exchange with the Americans! "
Lehr said angrily, "What do you know? There are some things that I can't control. I have already consulted the Minister of Defense on this matter. The Minister's intention is very clear. He told me not to touch those who affect the relationship between the two countries. Do you know that Jiang Cheng has already affected our relationship with China? They are going to take some measures against us. If I don't release him, I will have to resign. Do you want to take over my position now? Do you really want me to make a mistake? "
Stephen immediately shook his head and said, "I don't dare. I have never thought of it that way!"
Leirs glared at him and said, "I don't know if that's what you think, but since I'm sitting in this position now, you have to listen to my orders. Now, immediately, immediately, go and invite that god down there to come up. Go!"
Stephen retreated from Lehr's office with a gloomy face. After he came out, his whole face was green. He didn't expect the director's orders to be different every day. A few days ago, he had to work hard to catch Jiang Cheng. Now, he wanted him to release him immediately. This was really nonsense.
However, since he was working in the unit, he had to obey orders. The bounden duty of a soldier was to obey orders. Stephen had no choice but to bring his assistant, Henry, to the basement.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the room where Jiang Cheng was detained. Jiang Cheng was still shackled with handcuffs and ankles. He was sleeping on the floor. The basement was very humid, and the floor was very humid. However, Jiang Cheng was sleeping soundly.
In the past few days, Jiang Cheng hadn't had a good rest. The two 200-watt light bulbs in the room hadn't been turned off. The glaring light made Jiang Cheng's vision a little impaired. In the past two days, other than delivering meals, this place wouldn't open at all.
