Chapter 766: Seeing Money and Forgetting Oneself is Only Natural

Tujiu turned his anger into joy: "Really? Are you sure you'll come to pick us up?" He did not trust Zhu Yiwen, and he did not hide it, saying it out loud and clear.

Zhu Yiwen complained inwardly: Pig-brained, if it weren't for the fact that you're still somewhat useful, I certainly wouldn't care about you pigs!

Although he complained inwardly, he spoke nicely: "Of course, Feiying is my brother, and since you are Feiying's brother, you are naturally my brother too. I won't watch my brother in trouble and do nothing..."

He spoke very nicely, and Tujiu believed him.

Tujiu contacted the Qi Family as he had said, demanding to exchange Shi Youxuan for Qi Heng.

But this demand was rejected by the Qi Family.

The Vice President was righteous and stern, his tone brooking no doubt: "Using Shi Ran to exchange for Qi Heng is absolutely impossible. Apart from this condition, I can agree to any other condition of yours."

"You can have anything, even if it means bankruptcy, I must redeem my son even if I don't serve as this Vice President, but I absolutely cannot use someone else's daughter for the exchange!"

The Vice President's reply was quite in line with Tujiu's personality.

He agreed very readily: "Fine, then let's exchange for money."

At first, the Vice President didn't dare to believe it, thinking he was going to play tricks.

But Tujiu named his price, and it was indeed an astronomical figure; the Vice President could not produce that much money.

Sheng Hanyu could.

He told Vice President Qi to agree immediately, and then exchange immediately.

Delay brings changes; such an idea must have been decided by Tujiu himself!

Tujiu had a reckless personality and acted on impulse without using his brain at all, yet he could turn bad luck into good fortune and disaster into blessing every time.

But this time, having met him, his good luck should be at an end.

Bad people always have good luck; even Heaven is blind.

……

Zhu Yiwen did not expect that the things he had planned would be easily changed by Tujiu once again, and he hadn't even told him.

He was still dreaming of kidnapping Shi Ran, then forcing Sheng Hanyu to commit suicide, and controlling Shi Youxuan and her daughter, but things had changed once again.

A subordinate came to report: "Head of the Family, Miss Shi Ran was not exchanged back; Tujiu exchanged the Vice President's son for a lot of money."

"What?"

Zhu Yiwen was so angry he nearly vomited blood; it was too infuriating, he actually didn't listen to his words.

It would be one thing if he didn't listen to other things, but to act on his own in this matter, Zhu Yiwen really wanted to kill him immediately.

But he only flew into a great rage in the Study; he didn't actually do anything to Tujiu.

He couldn't beat him.

Besides, things were already like this; getting angry was useless.

When Tujiu returned to the Island and found that Zhu Yiwen was not there, he didn't care. Whether he was there or not, he was more at ease when he wasn't; there was no one to manage him.

This time, he had exchanged Young Master Qi for a large sum of money, as well as quite a few gold bars and jewelry.

With this money, even if he did nothing, it would be enough to lie on a pile of money and gorge himself for a lifetime!

The first thing he did upon returning to the Island was to order everyone to be rewarded according to their merits, and then celebrate for a week.

XO, Martell, Lafite, Vodka, Rémy Martin, Whiskey... drink as much as you want!

If you can't finish it, you can even bathe in it.

Fancy cars and beautiful women, a life of dissipation.

Tujiu was living a life of drunken dreams on the Island, completely unaware that danger was quietly descending.

……

L Country.

Vice President's Mansion.

It was already late at night, but the courtyard was brightly lit; the Vice President was giving his final pre-battle briefing.

Without saying much, the core idea was just one sentence: "Come back alive!"

"Yes, come back alive."

The soldiers answered in unison, their voices deafening, and then they quickly and orderly boarded the helicopters, and the aircraft left the ground and flew toward the Island.

In the Command Room.

The scene on the Island was displayed on the screens through various visual feeds.

In fact, from the moment Tujiu transported the money and jewelry away, he had already been under the Vice President's surveillance.

Tujiu didn't want bank transfers, only cash, and it wasn't allowed to be in sequential serial numbers.

In addition, gold bars and non-limited edition jewelry were all acceptable.

They were used to this kind of "business"; it could be spent at any time once taken out, and the source could not be traced at all.

But no matter what, there are pros and cons to everything.

The Vice President and Sheng Hanyu conspired, and Wang Yong participated.

Several people secretly hid monitors inside the gold bars and jewelry using special methods.

It was normal not to be able to get too much cash in a short time, so the gold bars and jewelry "laced" by the Vice President were not suspected; Tujiu was even happy, thinking the other party was very sincere...

Now it was time to settle the final account.

The people in the Monitoring Room were all very excited; Tujiu was one of the most dangerous people internationally.

If this operation went smoothly and he was wiped out by L Country, L Country's international reputation would also improve by more than one level.

There was one person who was out of step with everyone's excitement—Sheng Hanyu.

He held a cup of coffee, his eyes fixed on the screen with his brows slightly furrowed, lost in thought.

Wang Yong came over and asked: "Brother, what's wrong? Is something not right?"

The brothers had been together for many years; although they were not biological brothers, Wang Yong could guess quite accurately what some of Sheng Hanyu's subtle movements meant.

He did not hide it from his brother, saying: "It is not right; I didn't see Zhu Yiwen appear on camera the entire time."

"He doesn't like these kinds of occasions, it's his personality," Wang Yong said indifferently.

Indeed, Zhu Yiwen did not like such occasions.

If it were normal times, he would not appear, but now that he and Tujiu were in a cooperative relationship, given his character, he would attend even if he didn't like it.

His absence could only mean one thing—he was not on the Island.

Sheng Hanyu's plan was to round up both Zhu Yiwen and Tujiu in one fell swoop this time; if Zhu Yiwen was not there, the plan would be canceled.

But the Vice President did not agree.

Even if Zhu Yiwen was not there, Tujiu had to be eliminated.

On someone else's turf, one has to listen to them.

The facts were indeed so.

When their people arrived on the Island, they destroyed the island's security system with almost no effort, captured Tujiu alive, and killed or wounded quite a few underlings.

And the police had basically no casualties; this was a beautiful battle, fought very well.

But after searching every corner of the Island, they truly did not find a trace of Zhu Yiwen.

The captives confessed that Zhu Yiwen was not on the island; he was already gone when they returned, and as for where he was hiding, not a single person knew.

L Country.

Prison.

Sheng Hanyu met with Tujiu in person.

Tujiu gritted his teeth and did not reveal a single thing regarding Zhu Yiwen.

If you want my head, take it; if you want my life, take it.

Moreover, when he saw Sheng Hanyu, he gnashed his teeth, his eyes wide and round like a bull's.

His eyes spewing fire, he roared at Sheng Hanyu: "Kill me! If you don't kill me, I will definitely kill you to avenge my brother!"

Sheng Hanyu was baffled: "I don't know your brother. Who is your brother?"

Tujiu: "Stop playing dumb in front of me. My brother is Feiying. Do you dare say Feiying didn't die at your hands?"

Sheng Hanyu:...

He was slightly stunned, but quickly understood.

"I dare say it. Feiying did not die at my hands; it was Zhu Yiwen who killed him with his own hands."

"I don't believe you, you're lying to me!"

Tujiu roared loudly; he did not believe Sheng Hanyu's words.

His voice was so loud that it made Sheng Hanyu's ears buzz.

It was only with great difficulty that he calmed down slightly, also because he had roared too loudly and had no strength left.

"Cough, cough..."

Sheng Hanyu handed him a glass of water: "If you want to know, I can tell you; if you don't want to know, then forget it."

After the shouting, the fire in Tujiu's heart was not as intense, so he was able to listen to words.

"You speak."
