Chapter 15 Transaction
Jiya never thought that she would be rescued in this way.
In other words, she actually never thought that she could still be rescued.
During the time she was kidnapped, she had countless negotiations with the leader of the kidnappers, and she also confessed her identity as a "journalist". However, such exchanges were obviously meaningless, and the other party never let him go. Intend.
Yes, who cares about the life and death of a freelance journalist with no background, no resources, and even no money?
Rather than letting it out and only increasing the risk for yourself, it is better to raise it and become a Star Fury, and then kill it when you get tired of it.
After all, this land is already riddled with criminal acts related to human trafficking. As long as the person who dies is not an important person, it is impossible to attract any attention at all.
There was a time when she was desperate, and there was a time when she accepted her ending.
There is regret, but it cannot be said to be heavy.
In the final analysis, this is all your own choice - how can you have any noble purpose? He was just a desperate reporter who decided to come here to take a chance and make a big news to make a comeback.
When setting out, didn't I think about it, it doesn't matter if I die?
And after arriving here, my situation has indeed been slipping towards "death".
But she never expected that the scale of death, which had tilted to the bottom, would be re-righted in this way.
This is great luck. They didn't come to save themselves, they just saved themselves.
Jiya took a deep breath, and then she said:
"Thank you, you saved my life."
The other three could not understand her English. Chen Chen could understand her, but he was too lazy to answer.
He had no intention of having any contact with this woman. If Chaisili needed this woman, he could ask them for money.
The scene was a little awkward for a moment. The woman was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly spoke again, speaking in jerky Burmese:
"thank you all."
Now it’s better, no one understands it anymore.
Seeing the two people sandwiched around her showing doubtful expressions, Jiya couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
She wanted to say something else, but Chen Chen in the front seat spoke at this moment.
"We are not here to save you, but someone does want to save you."
"If you want to thank us, then tell me who you are and what happened."
The reason why you need to know this information is essentially to have a certain initiative in the subsequent negotiations with Chaisili - if you want to sell goods, how can you not understand your own goods?
What if this woman is the rich daughter of a wealthy family, and it shouldn't be too much to ask for 18 million, right?
Finally hearing the familiar English, Jiya's expression immediately became lively.
She couldn't wait to introduce herself and her experience, but Chen Chen's expression became visibly disappointed.
Good guy, another poor guy!
Where did so many poor people come from? !
He turned his head again without interest, interrupting Jia's rambling.
"No need to tell me, now tell me an accurate number, how much are you worth?"
Jiya was stunned.
It’s really hard to answer this question. In theory, you’re not worth a dime.
Even the message Chen Chen said just now that "someone wants to save her" was the first time she heard it.
"I probably can't give you much money to repay you, but believe me, after leaving here, I will quickly become an influential reporter!"
"I will write the most exciting investigative report, and I will become a new star in the freelance journalist industry. By then, the rewards I can give you will definitely not be measured by money!"
"Are you mercenaries? I can give you more positive reports, so that you can gain a greater reputation and gain more respect in this industry."
"we do not need!"
Chen Chen immediately interrupted Jiya.
As a mercenary group, having a good reputation is not a bad thing, but if the increase in fame exceeds the increase in strength, it is not a good thing.
Noticing Chen Chen's attitude, Jiya shut her mouth knowingly.
But before she had been quiet for a few minutes, she suddenly asked again:
"Why did you kill that woman?"
Why?
Because she's with the bandits, because she's not telling the truth, because she's obviously a guard watching you?
Chen Chen could tell the correct answer, but he just replied coldly:
"There is no law here. I can kill whoever I want."
".Very good reason."
Jiya felt the threat in Chen Chen's words and finally shut up.
She didn't ask Chen Chen any more questions, and she didn't even care who he wanted to hand her over to.
It couldn't be worse than that dungeon anyway, so what the hell?
Several people in the car fell silent again, and half an hour later, the foursome entered Mengka.
Chen Chen was not in a hurry to return to the hotel - under the current situation, it was no longer suitable to stay there.
He asked Bao Qi to park on the side of the road, then found a payphone and called according to the contact information left by Captain Chaisili.
"Sir, I have the person you want here."
he said bluntly.
"I'll be there soon. By the way, just call me Jackal."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the entrance of Ship City Hospital, Mr. Jackal."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Chen waited for 10 minutes before Chaisili's Jackal rushed to Chuancheng Hospital.
As soon as they met, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Chen Chen.
"A great success! Welcome back! What should I call you?"
Chen Chen glanced at the words "ship town" on Ship City Hospital and replied casually:
"Just call me shipwreck."
“Cool name—that woman, did you bring her?”
Jackal always smiles, which makes him less like an elite warrior and more like a businessman.
"In the car, make your price, Mr. Jackal."
"She's worthless. She's just a reporter with no future. Our attempt to save her was just a random thing, but you brought her back. I think $5,000, how about it?"
Jackal spread his hands, with a cunning expression unique to Thai people on his face.
"50000."
Chen Chen said calmly.
"Then kill her, or raise her to be a starfury, or sell her to a rich man who needs organs. It's up to you."
"But organ matching is not easy to do, and she can't be sold for 50,000 yuan."
The price was raised, and Chen Chen sighed secretly.
"But if you want her to be useful, I don't care what use you want her for. 30,000 US dollars is reasonable, right?"
"Don't buy it. It's useful, but not so useful that it's worth thirty thousand dollars."
"For 30,000 US dollars, you can rescue her. We have never seen her. We just captured the Wanhe Nai camp."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jackal's expression finally changed.
He seemed to be carefully weighing the pros and cons.
After thinking for a few seconds, he finally said:
"We really don't have that much cash, you know, this is just a deal between us, not you and Chaisili."
"How about this? You can go to our warehouse and pick out some needed equipment. Well, Level 3 body armor and helmets. Armor Express gives you four sets. How about that?"
"You know, these things are very expensive in the whole of northern Myanmar."
"Level 4 body armor, equipped with hard bulletproof inserts."
Chen Chen bargained again.
"There are only two sets, and they don't come with helmets. It's not enough for us."
"Four sets, with helmets. There are at least 12 of you. It's impossible not to have reserves. Why don't you just go back and report the damage?"
"You are from China, so you know how to bargain? It's a deal."
The Jackal's hand shook vigorously, and a deal was sealed.
Chen Chen simply made a gesture to signal Shi Dakai to let him go. Looking at his actions, Jackal asked curiously:
"Don't you really want to know the story behind her? Maybe her story is valuable?"
Chen Chen smiled, shook his head and replied:
"Mr. Jackal, four sets of Armor Express level 4 body armor plus bulletproof inserts are worth at least $80,000 on the black market. Isn't this valuable enough?"
"No matter how valuable her story is, it is not as valuable as my life."
