Consul Han reacted the fastest. After seeing his daughter appear, he immediately called her, then ran over and hugged her. Then he saw Zhang Pin and Carter following Xiurong.
"Sir Zhang, thank you for the favor I owe you."
Consul Han opened his mouth, tears suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then he solemnly spoke to Zhang Pin.
Just now, they were still regretting the failure of the investigation bureau's operation. Who would have thought that when they turned around, Zhang Pin had already brought everyone back.
Consul Han still had one sentence left unsaid. If Zhang Ping had not appeared in time, he might have made a mistake.
Of course he couldn't come up with 70 million US dollars himself.
"I remember it."
Zhang Pin was not too polite in thanking Consul Han.
Although I don’t know if I will need this favor from the other party in the future, I can keep it for now.
"Hey everyone, Detective Carter is here to report!"
Just when everyone was stunned, Carter couldn't help but stand up and show off himself.
"By the way, this is Detective Carter from Luojishan City South Branch. I was able to find Xiurong this time thanks to Detective Carter's intelligence. Moreover, he went deep into the tiger's den and fought with the gangsters before giving me the rescue show."
opportunity.”
After Zhang Pin greeted Consul Han, he immediately took the initiative to introduce Carter.
After hearing Zhang Pin's introduction, Carter almost raised his tail to the sky.
"Of course, there is nothing that Detective Carter can't do in Luoji Mountain. It's a pity that the benefits of arresting those guys were taken away by the Chinatown Branch. I have to take all the credit for this rescue mission.
."
He was not modest at all, and started to allocate credit among himself directly in front of everyone in the Investigation Bureau.
"What did you say? The kidnappers have all been captured."
After hearing Carter's words, Warren couldn't stand.
Although he himself didn't care much about rescuing Xiurong, these people killed members of two commando teams of the Investigation Bureau. Of course, it was impossible for the Investigation Bureau not to avenge this.
Now that he heard that the kidnappers had been caught and the people had been sent back, he had nothing to do but lose face by staying here, so he was ready to find trouble with the kidnappers.
"I don't know about that. In order to send this little girl back as soon as possible, I did not participate in the arrest operation."
Although the Carter people are crazy, they also know how to be measured.
He also spoke impeccably.
In fact, he was not stupid. Judging from the actions of the thugs at the Fuzhou Hotel in trying to control him, he guessed that the previous explosion not far away must have been done by the thugs.
At that time, the person who attacked him in the Fuzhou Hotel did not seem to have a leader, so Carter also suspected that the leader of the kidnapping case might have left long ago.
"Hey, who are you?"
After Warren and others received the news that the kidnappers had been arrested, they did not stay any longer and chose to leave one after another.
As soon as the crowd left, apart from some staff, there was only one white-haired man left in the consulate.
Carter quickly set his sights on the opponent.
Judging from his many years of experience as a police officer, he always feels that the eyes of others looking at him are not very friendly.
"Ah, this is Thomas, my old friend for many years."
Consul Han heard Carter's inquiry and introduced the two of them.
"By the way, Sir Zhang, since you are here, we will have an exhibition of antiques and cultural relics here tomorrow. These things are the stolen goods collected by the criminals you captured on Hong Kong Island last time. Why don't you also participate then.
"
After his daughter came back, Consul Han immediately put aside his worries and started thinking about his own work.
"OK, no problem."
Zhang Pin nodded and agreed to Consul Han's request.
He had already taken leave anyway, completed the task on the first day he came, and the rest of the time was naturally at his own discretion.
"What's going on with you two, are you so suspicious? Also, Hongdou, forget it if you make a mistake while driving, Ah Hai, what are you doing? If I hadn't cut off the brake line of the truck in time, you would have been shot, do you know? Why?
If you didn’t open the parachute sooner.”
Yazhan held a painting tube in his hand and sat on the trunk of the car, looking at Ahai and Hongdou with an annoyed look on his face.
"Um, it's nothing. Maybe I'm under too much stress recently, so I'm hallucinating."
Hongdou stopped the car first, and looked around guiltily. After finding no one there, she belatedly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and then looked at Ahai, who was in the co-pilot.
"What's wrong with you? Do you know how dangerous it was just now? I told you not to do it, and I told you not to do it. You always don't listen. If something happens to you, what should I do then? Wuwuwu——"
Hong Dou originally scolded Ah Hai angrily, but as she spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red, and then she threw herself into Ah Hai's arms and started crying.
"Okay, okay, my dear little Hongdou, don't worry, this little thing is just a small scene. I was actually sure to leave just now. Don't cry. It won't be pretty if you cry again."
Ah Hai naturally knew that Hong Dou cared about him, so he coaxed Hong Dou into smiling with just a few words.
Even if there wasn't Yazhan next to her, with Hongdou's hot cheeks, there might have been some scenes inappropriate for children.
"Should I be under the car right now?"
Yazhan, who was sitting at the back of the car, saw the actions of the two people in front of him and immediately spoke in disgust.
"No, no, no, you shouldn't be under the car, but you should get down, bye!"
Hongdou was teased by Yazhan, but she realized that there was another person here.
She turned around with a smile and waved to Yazhan, then suddenly stepped on the accelerator.
Buzz——
The sports car accelerated suddenly, and Yazhan, who was sitting on the trunk, fell backwards without checking.
Although he reacted quickly, he quickly put his hands on the ground and landed firmly on the ground, but when he looked forward, he saw that the sports car had already run far away.
"Hey, you two are so heartless, do you want me to run back?"
Yazhan suddenly jumped up and down anxiously.
In the end, Hongdou reversed the car and picked up Yazhan again.
The three of them are orphans who grew up together.
When he was a child, he was adopted by an old thief and taught him the skill of stealing. They usually rely on stealing to support themselves.
This time, the three of them have set their sights on a famous antique painting. They have already made an appointment with the buyer. Once they get it, they can sell it for half a million US dollars.
"Hey, you two promise me that when we get the money, the three of us will stop, okay?"
Sitting in the car, Hongdou first looked at Ah Hai, then turned to look at Ya Zhan.
"No problem, our little princess has spoken, of course I will do it."
Ahai nodded happily.
"Okay, but if you stop, what are you going to do in the future?"
Yazhan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and then asked about another thing.
Although the three of them grew up together, Ahai and Hongdou like each other and are lovers.
Yazhan obviously knew that if the three of them stopped cooperating in the future, then it would really be a bit of a hindrance for him to be with the two of them again.
"What are you thinking? Didn't the three of us already agree that we will be together forever?"
The three of them grew up together, so Hongdou didn't know what Yazhan was thinking.
However, although she and Yazhan are not in love, they still have so many years of family ties, and naturally they do not want the other person to leave alone.
"Hongdou and I have already discussed that we will have a son and a daughter in the future. The son will be called Xia and the daughter will be called Xiaodoudou. When the time comes, you will be responsible for raising the children for me."
"Go away, why isn't my son called Xi Hai?"
"Oh, don't argue. I hope we can find a peaceful place after collecting the mountain."
Hongdou interrupted the banter between Ahai and Yazhan with a smile, and then began to look forward to their future life.
"Oh, oh, don't talk about this now. It doesn't matter if I live in a shabby house by myself, but I can't wrong the lovely Miss Hongdou."
Ah Hai didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, then interrupted Hong Dou's words.
"As long as I can be with you, I am willing to live in a shabby house."
Hongdou shook his head stubbornly, saying that he was not a materialistic person.
"How about that? Look at our red bean, the oval-shaped round face, wow, the slender upper body, the lower body does not need to be described. You just need to smile and you can make people die of sweetness, not to mention you are very, very good at this.
It’s an excellent breed for breeding.”
"Our lovely sister Hongdou, I want to take you to enjoy romance, play and have fun with you, but how can I be willing to let you endure hardship."
Ah Hai's words made Ya Zhan sitting in the back feel numb, but Hong Dou who was driving felt hot all over.
The three of them grew up together. It is obvious why Hongdou fell in love with Ah Hai.
Yazhan from behind looked very unhappy, but at this time he could only watch helplessly.
"Hongdou, where do you want to go after retirement?"
Yazhan could only choose to change the topic and proactively asked Hongdou where he wanted to settle down.
"I want to find a peaceful place. It would be best if there would never be a war. I heard that the mainland has reopened. I don't know what the situation will be like. Hong Kong Island is about to return. I can consider it then."
Hongdou had obviously considered settling down for a long time. While she was talking, she secretly looked at Ahai. She knew that he had an out-of-the-box personality and liked romantic places. He definitely wanted to go to countries like France.
"You have a beautiful idea. Go to Ila. That place is the most peaceful. After all, it is protected by America's army. Otherwise, you can only go to heaven. God has the final say there, and the air will definitely be fresh."
"What are you talking about? I hate you so much. Come and drive."
Hongdou was so interrupted by Ah Hai that she felt both loved and angry, so she simply stopped the car and let Ah Hai drive.
At this moment, Yazhan could only turn his head and look at the surrounding scenery, because at this moment, Hongdou and Ahai only had each other in their eyes, and there was no place for anyone else to stay.
"Actually, we have been running around here and there for so many years, and we really should find a place to stay."
After looking at the scenery for a while, Yazhan couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, Brother Zhan, you can't say that. As the saying goes, heroes are nowhere to be found in ancient times. On dancing pavilions and singing platforms, the wind and rain will always blow away the romance. If you stay in one place for a long time, you will miss it again.
Egg noodles from Tainan, foie gras from France, and ham from Belgium.”
Ah Hai came out to cause havoc again. Judging from his actions, he obviously didn't want everyone to really retire.
"Welcome! Welcome you three. You are really outstanding experts. Take out my painting quickly. I want to take a good look at it."
The three of them drove all the way and soon arrived at a villa.
The person who received the three people was none other than Consul Han's good friend Thomas who had appeared at the consulate before.
"Five hundred thousand is too expensive! We have to wait at least two or three years to find a way to sell this painting. The most I can give is four hundred thousand!"
Thomas observed it carefully and after confirming that the painting was authentic, he immediately raised the price.
"He said it was too expensive and he could only give me 400,000 yuan!"
Hongdou looked at Ahai and Yazhan. They were both orphans. Although they had been traveling around these years, their English was very poor. Hongdou could only translate to them.
Ah Hai couldn't help but burst out laughing at Thomas's sudden price reduction.
"Hahaha, please help me greet his dear mother."
Then he looked at Hongdou, asking for help in translating.
"What is he saying?"
Thomas actually knew a little bit of Cantonese, but Ah Hai spoke too fast and his voice was not loud, so he couldn't hear clearly and could only wait for Hong Dou to translate.
"How do you say this?"
Hongdou was in trouble. Ahai and Yazhan were always in charge of the three operations. She was usually responsible for gathering information and dealing with buyers.
"Then I'll tell you for myself!"
Ah Hai still insisted on his opinion. He knew that Thomas knew a little Cantonese, so he deliberately slowed down his speaking speed.
"I want to say, where is your mother? I want to greet her."
Thomas's Cantonese was half-baked, so when he heard Ah Hai's greetings, he really thought that the other person was caring about his mother.
So he smiled and shook hands with Ah Hai.
"My mother is in good health. Thank you for your concern."
"Five hundred thousand, not a penny less. If he doesn't want it, we will find other buyers."
Ahai scolded the other party and received thanks from Thomas, but he was unwilling to compromise on the price.
A painting like this had been sold for five million U.S. dollars at the last auction. They only took 10% of it when they passed it. Unexpectedly, Thomas was not willing to give 10%.
This time Hongdou faithfully translated Ahai's meaning.
When Thomas heard that the three of them were unwilling to compromise on the price, he hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.
"make a deal!"
However, although he agreed to a price of 500,000 yuan, he did not ask anyone to come up with the money. Instead, he waved and the assistant next to him immediately brought a piece of information.
"I'll give you another two million and help me steal something."
Thomas said as he handed the information to Hongdou.
"Wow, isn't this the faucet?"
When Ahai saw what was on the picture, he sat up immediately.
"What faucet? This is a bronze statue of a zodiac animal head, a national treasure."
Hong Dou couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ah Hai.
"Why did I just hear that ghost guy say that he wanted to give us millions?"
Azhan's attention was attracted by the reward figure mentioned by Thomas.
"He said he gave us two hundred dollars and asked us to steal this thing to him."
Hongdou did not hide Thomas's offer from the two of them.
"Wow, two million dollars!"
When Yazhan heard this number, his eyes widened immediately.
