【223】 Back to town
Wan Kang asked Agallon to bring the pirates out and let them stand on the rocks so that their accomplices could see them clearly through the telescope.
The pirates confirmed that their accomplice was safe and sound, and made a condition, willing to pay $1 million to ransom him.
The conditions were good, but Wan Kang was not sure whether the pirates were up to something. He asked the other party to send someone off the ship with the money and release him immediately after verifying that the money was genuine. The pirates had no choice but to agree.
With the conditions for negotiation, at least there would be no gunfight for the time being, the pirates relaxed their vigilance and began to move around on the deck. Wan Kang wanted to have a rough look at how many pirates were responding, so he took a look through the binoculars, and unexpectedly saw
A familiar face!
It's Banbu! Wan Kang was hijacked by pirates in the Somali waters, and Banbu was among them. He also helped him fight off another group of pirates who were robbing him, saving his life. Finally, Banbu let them go. This guy
Why are you here now?
Wan Kang first let one of the pirates go and asked him to return to the ship and tell Ban Bu that his friends were here.
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed. No one would have expected such a result. It was so unexpected. The next step was probably to shake hands and make peace.
Banbu entertained Wan Kang on the pirate ship, and after enjoying the delicious food and drinks, Wan Kang asked Banbu how he got here. Banbu said that he had stopped following others, and now he led a group of people to do it on his own, with no gain.
Xiao, I just said I was willing to pay one million U.S. dollars to ransom someone because I already received three million U.S. dollars in ransom.
"So, you were originally here to let people go?"
"Yes." Ban Bu said, "We will definitely let him go after we collect the money, and we will keep his credit." Ban Bu proudly asked someone to carry a box over to him, "This is one million, and it was already prepared for people to take it down.
I’ll give it to you now.”
"No, I definitely don't want the money." Wan Kang waved his hand, "That was a misunderstanding."
"Let's not talk about misunderstandings." Ban Toutiao said, "If you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This is my little gratitude."
"No need." Wan Kang said, "But I have a request. You send a few of us to a safe place."
When this was mentioned, Ban Bu asked Wan Kang how he came to this deserted island.
"I have an enemy who wants to exploit oil and gas at sea, so I came over and caused some trouble. Finally, I hijacked the pusher boat and ran all the way here." Wan Kang said, "Now I just want to get ashore safely."
"Hey, that's what happened." Ban Bu said with a smile, "No problem, I will take you to a place and make sure you are safe. Also, you have to accept the one million US dollars."
Wan Kang thought about it and realized that he really needed some money, so he said he would take half and definitely not want any more. Seeing Wan Kang’s firmness, Ban Bu stopped insisting.
The matter was resolved satisfactorily. Wan Kang asked the captain of the push boat to go back and offered him 100,000 U.S. dollars as compensation. He also asked him not to say anything after he returned to avoid causing trouble. The captain refused the 100,000 U.S. dollars and told Wan Kang that he knew what to do.
Let Wan Kang not worry.
"Agallon and the others, I want you to take them back. You can help them cover up and say that they were also kidnapped together." Wan Kang said, "I don't want them to get into any trouble."
"This is fine too," the captain said, "There won't be any problem."
Wan Kang found Agallon again and said that the matter was only in the middle of the process. He would first pay 300,000 US dollars and let him watch it be divided among the other three security guards. The remaining money would be given after he returned to Kalenburu.
He will also go to Australia, just recently.
Agallon had no doubts about Wan Kang and did not doubt his sincerity at all. He said that this was enough. If there was no money, he would not need the rest.
"That won't work, there's still Sally here." Wan Kang said, "I can't keep my word, because I'm also responsible for Sally's integrity."
The push ship left and returned to Kalumburu to land. The Korean cargo ship was asked to leave in two days. Anyway, there was enough food on board. Banbu threatened to kill everyone if they were met by them if they left early.
After doing all this, Banbu took Wankang to the southwest. They would land on Christmas Island, an Australian overseas territory.
Christmas Island is a wealthy island, and can even be called an island country. Christmas Island is fully responsible for the administrator sent by the Governor of Australia. He must make the postal, education, communications, ports, transportation and security affairs of the island stable.
.
"No one knows that we are pirates." Banbu said proudly, "We are legal businessmen."
"No one is happier than you." Wan Kang said with a smile, "But you have to be careful and don't get into trouble."
"I thought so too, so I decided to stop working for another two or three years," said Ban Xingfeng, "I'm not a greedy person."
"If you are greedy, you will not end well." Wan Kang said with a smile, "Of course, this is just a joke. You have to know that anyone who is greedy will not end well."
Ban Bu smiled and asked Wan Kang what his plans were. Wan Kang said that he would fly to Australia and the enemy's matter had not been resolved yet.
"If you still need assistance at sea, you can come to me." Ban Tiaojie said, "But you have to contact me in advance. It is best for me to determine the specific time, because I know the weather at sea and what conditions are suitable for escape. You need to know
, the risk of responding to an offshore attack is very high. If you are pursued by the military, you will generally not be able to escape without sufficient weather conditions to cover you."
"Okay, I will remember it." Wan Kang said with a smile, "But I will try not to contact you because I don't want to cause you any trouble."
Ban Bu smiled and sent Wan Kang to Christmas Island Airport.
The Australian Southern Airlines flight flew directly to Melbourne. Wan Kang had a good sleep after boarding the plane, and when he woke up, he set foot on his destination.
Sally's parents hadn't come back yet, so Wan Kang moved into her house. Sally didn't ask Wan Kang what happened before, but just asked what he planned to do next.
"Continue." Wan Kang said, "Qian Dacheng's oil and gas exploration project is not expected to stop. The erection of the drilling platform pile foundation should be carried out again."
"It's being relocated," Sally said. "It's not far from the original location, and the Kalumburu Municipal Government has provided compensation."
"Let me tell you, that guy Qian Dacheng will not give up." Wan Kang said, "He usually won't let go of the prospects he sees. Even if he lets go temporarily, it is to hold on better in the future."
"Now that there are military forces drilling into the sea area of the platform, and the Royal Navy patrol boat brigade has ships nearby, it will be much more difficult to do it again." Sally said, "This is not alarmist."
"To be honest, I haven't decided what to do next." Wan Kang took out the remaining two hundred thousand US dollars and said, "Sally, it's inconvenient for me to leave this money with you."
"It seems that you have gained quite a lot from this trip." Sally said with a smile, "It's not appropriate to save the money with you tomorrow and leave it at home."
"Okay." Wan Kang said, "Sally, you should relax tonight. Controlling the push boat and going out to hide is not hide and seek. I have been nervous for so many days and it is also very painful."
"I will make you so relaxed that you can't get up." Sally shook her golden hair, pushed Wan Kang down on the sofa, and rode up, "Now let me control you!"
This time I was really relaxed. I didn’t wake up until Wan Kang woke up at noon the next day. I couldn’t even remember when I ended up with Sally last night. I seemed to be in an inexplicable excitement at that time. Under the golden light and shadow and the surging noise, I couldn’t even remember.
Lost one's mind in the wave.
He is so obsessed with a certain kind of pleasure that he forgets everything. Wan Kang can resist this kind of exhaustion. He has not forgotten that Qian Dacheng's matter is far from over. If he does not defeat Qian Dacheng, he will not live in peace in this life. Moreover, Wan Kang is a little swollen now.
I feel that money is just a number. Especially in recent days, when millions of dollars have been passed around, money seems not to be money, but just a tangible symbol, but it is very attractive.
"If one-third of Qian Dacheng's money comes into my hands, it would be an astonishing figure." Wan Kang thought so, but he would not do that. What he wanted was to take away three-thirds of Qian Dacheng's money.
property.
But now it has just begun. Destroying the pile foundation of his drilling platform is just a greeting. A more violent attack is yet to come. However, this is the observation period, and the second round of actions can only be arranged after Qian Dacheng's movements are determined.
Wan Kang decided to go deep into the town of Meltes again. He needed to observe. Sally and Wan Kang made the trip and came to this seaside town again, planning to stay for a while. But when they came here, they found that the situation had changed drastically.
, most of the town was rented out.
This is considered a normal thing. Many crown princes and noble families have too much money to spend. They will rent it out wherever they want as long as it looks comfortable. All homes within the area must close their doors and leave, and each person will be paid a thousand dollars a day. This is true among many people.
It is common on small islands with residents, but it is rare in mainland towns near the sea, so the form has also changed. Instead of renting the whole town, some space is left because communication, water, electricity and other public facilities must be ensured.
Daily operations.
However, there are not many areas left for free movement, which makes it inconvenient to secretly observe Qian Dacheng's actions. Because Qian Dacheng cannot compete with the crown princes, he can only stay in Mertes Town in the unlisted area.
Walk around the area within the rental area. In this way, the activity area is too small and the target is easily exposed.
Sally asked Wan Kang to stay in the room while she checked. There was nothing she could do about it, so Wan Kang had no choice but to agree. After all, this matter was no joke. If he ventured out, the consequences would be unpredictable if he was discovered.
.
But Wan Kang is trying to think of a way, because Sally may overlook a lot of things he wants to know when checking the situation.
There are always ways, but the degree of risk varies. Wan Kang feels that Qian Dacheng should relax his vigilance at this time, because there is a plan and arrangements for the drilling platform, and he has also strengthened his precautions, which is enough to reassure him about his worries.
.Also, most of the town is now leased, and many people have gone out to play. The remuneration package of one thousand US dollars per day is too attractive. Therefore, the town that originally had a small number of people now has even fewer people. There are fewer people.
No doubt, in this case, the security alert will be relaxed. Therefore, it may be feasible to join forces with Sally and directly visit Qian Dacheng's residence.
Chapter completed!
