He asked directly, ”Are you short of money? How much money do you need? You helped me, and I'd like to help you.”
Li Du was neither a philanthropist, nor the Virgin Mary; he wouldn't help someone without reason. He was not, however, cold-blooded. If someone he knew was in need of money, he was willing to offer a generous hand.
Wolfgang had saved him and Sophie, so he was even more willing to help. Besides, this man was a latent fighting expert who could be suitable as a bodyguard. Li Du wanted to recruit him.
Wolfgang's eyes lit up, but then darkened before he whispered, ”A million.”
”USD?” Li Du was dumbfounded.
”Well, it's 900,000 in euros.” Wolfgang was quick in calculating the exchange rate.
Li Du was puzzled. ”So much?”
Wolfgang became an enigma once again and shut his mouth without speaking further.
Li Du tapped the table with his fingers. If the figure was tens of thousands of dollars, he could help. When it came to millions of dollars, it would be beyond him.
Wolfgang noticed that he had put Li Du on the spot. He drank the coffee in a gulp and said, ”Thank you for your hospitality. We're leaving.”
Li Du stopped him and said, ”Would you be able to get hold of a million, through lawful means?”
Wolfgang bowed his head, but did not say a word.
Li Du sighed. ”I haven't got that much money, but I need to get a sense of your value. If you can help me, maybe I can also help you.”
The blue veins on Wolfgang's forehead bulged. He looked at his daughter and after a short silence, he moved closer to Li Du and whispered, ”Kill someone?”
”Huh?” Li Du was flabbergasted.
”Help you kill someone?” Wolfgang asked again.
Li Du shook his head quickly. Gosh, buddy, what were you thinking? Although I'm not always that aboveboard when I do business, I don't do anything illegal.
He explained. ”Bodyguard. I need a bodyguard, but he has to be skilled enough. I haven't got any enemies, but maybe because I am more well-off, some people have been eying me.”
It sounded a little arrogant. He may not have much cash now, but he was worth quite a bit. Besides, after he got his hands on more gems, he would be worth more and more.
Wolfgang's eyes lit up once again. ”You've got the right man.”
Li Du said in frustration, ”Tell me more. To be honest, I already have an enigma on my hands. With your addition, I'll get bored to death.”
Wolfgang said, ”I graduated from the University of Leipzig at 20 years old and became a guard at the German border. At 24 years old, I was picked for KSK. At 27 years old, I went to SEK. At 31, I joined the GSG-9 to lead the Ground Commando Group B. Until two years ago, I had been in charge of security for all the international leadership conferences held in Germany for the last eight years...”
With this introduction, Wolfgang was no longer a man of few words. In fact, he spoke very eloquently.
It was a pity that Li Du could hardly understand what he was saying. Other than Wolfgang's English being limited, his own English was also subpar. Hence, he was barely making out the other party's ramblings.
In any case, he felt that Wolfgang sounded freaking awesome. And of course, from his understanding of the man, he already knew he was amazing. Otherwise, he wouldn't be running over to try and recruit him.
When Wolfgang had finished speaking, he looked squarely at him.
