Qin Fei didn't know what to do with Rhodes in front of him. He was his employee now, so he couldn't use strong methods. This would definitely damage his reputation.
But without understanding the purpose of the rebels, he would not be able to judge how tough the opponent's combat intentions were. Understanding the opponent's combat intentions was an important piece of intelligence for arranging the entire escape plan.
Qin Fei said coldly: "Mr. Rhodes, there are more than 300 people chasing us right now. If you don't want to lose your life in this jungle, I think it's best for you to be frank. I
My brothers just had a fierce battle and almost lost their lives. If you still want to keep your little secret, don’t blame me for not reminding you. I can tear up the employment agreement between us at any time."
"You are immoral!" Rhodes was a little panicked. "You are mercenaries, selling your lives for money. I have paid the money, so you must abide by professional ethics. I said they are here for my diamonds, diamonds.
Do you understand!?"
"Professional ethics are used to treat employers who are also honest, not employers who hide us and make us work in confusion." Qin Fei said, "I believe the rebels are definitely not for your diamonds. You know
, there are also many diamond mines in the Eastern Province they control."
While the two were talking, Silly Baitian suddenly interrupted: "Dad! Just tell others clearly. Do you think no one will know about your dirty things!?"
"Emily, what are you talking about!? Shut up!"
Rhodes's face suddenly fell, and Qin Fei's eyes lit up.
As expected, girls are outgoing and the best at cheating, especially Mary patients like Emily, the leader of the White Lotus.
"Qin, if my father doesn't tell me, I'll tell you." Emily seemed to have never put her father in her eyes. "Those rebels who died in my house have also been to my house before."
"What!?" Qin Fei knew there was something hidden, but he didn't expect it to be so twisty.
I've been here before, so I know Rhodes and the Western Boys, the rebel branch.
Lao Yu and others were also shocked. Which song was this?
Unequal division of spoils and internal strife?
Or is it dog-bite-dog?
"My dad is their shipping agent. We had many transactions with them in the past. Once they had good diamonds, they would send them to my dad to sell them at a good price." Emily's heart is definitely big enough.
She didn't cover up the relationship between her father and the rebels at all, she revealed everything.
"Mr. Rhodes, what else do you have to say now?" Qin Fei said: "I think if you continue to conceal it, I can really terminate the transaction between us."
"No!" Now that he was at a loss, Rhodes was a little discouraged. He glared at Emily and sighed: "It seems that I have really spoiled you."
He turned around, thought about it, stared at Qin Fei and said: "Qin, I can tell you the whole story clearly, but you must keep it secret."
"It's your responsibility to make it clear, and it's my responsibility to keep it secret." Qin Fei said: "Although I don't know the rules of mercenaries, my personal style of doing things is to have a beginning and an end. As long as you make it clear, let me
We have some understanding of the rebels' intentions and can take corresponding measures against them. I think everyone can continue to cooperate."
"I am not an ordinary diamond dealer." Rhodes said: "I am the royal gemstone agent of the Empire on which the sun never sets. After the first civil war in Sierra Leone, many diamonds here were dubbed 'blood diamonds' due to the pressure of public opinion.
Notoriously, under pressure, companies like De Beers will only sign contracts with the current government of Sierra Leone and mine formally in some areas controlled by government forces. However, in areas controlled by rebels, the ore produced cannot be sold to the market.
If it is smuggled out through Liberia or Cote d'Ivoire through smugglers, the price will not be high, which is not in the interests of the rebels."
"Are you the agent who ships goods for them?" Qin Fei asked.
Rhodes nodded: "The royal families and nobles of Europe, and even the 3160-carat diamond in the Queen's crown come from Africa, so they always have a strong demand for diamonds. I am the bridge between the two parties.
, I will sell all the high-grade diamonds mined in the rebel-controlled areas. After I get them, I will send them to Europe, and then resell them to the nobles and royal members, so that they can get rare diamonds without having to bear the infamy.
, and the rebels can also be sold at a good price, even..."
"You can even trade arms with them directly?" Qin Fei smiled.
"Well, that's right." Rhodes nodded in agreement.
Old Yu frowned and couldn't help but ask: "So, you and the rebels are no longer good partners and old friends? Why do they want to kill you?"
Rhodes looked at Lao Yu and then at Qin Fei, looking hesitant.
"Now that I've said it, why not explain it more clearly?" Qin Fei said.
Rhodes sighed again: "The problem is that this time the Imperial Army is going to send troops to intervene in the Sierra Leone Civil War. As far as I know, there are already ships on the sea near Liberty City, and there are thousands of SAS special forces.
Soldiers from the Irish regiment have begun to land in Liberty City, which used to be our colony. Although we withdrew, we still wanted to retain our influence here. This move angered the leader of the RUF, Kosan, and the West
The boy's Tours and others know that I have a transaction record here, which contains various lists of transactions with those big shots and incoming and outgoing bills. In fact, they do not want to kill me, but they want to kidnap me and kill me.
I am not as valuable as my life."
"No wonder." Qin Fei looked back at his teammates, "Sight, this seems to explain your suspicion."
Crosshair smoked a cigarette and said coldly: "In the final analysis, it comes from the greed of white people. Well, I don't want to hear these nonsense. Now that the matter has been clarified, I don't think Tours will let us go...
"
Rhodes suddenly said: "The matter may be more serious than you think..."
Qin Fei asked: "Why?"
Rhodes said: "Among the rebels you killed in my villa, one was Tours' younger brother. Their relationship has always been very good. It was his younger brother who personally brought diamonds to trade with me.
…”
"Fake! I knew there must be nothing good about this old guy offering such a good price!" Crosshair scolded: "This is simply terrible. No wonder those guys are all on drugs and want to fight us. It turns out that we are not only involved with the rebels.
He was involved in dirty dealings with the royal family, and now he is also involved in their personal grudges."
