Chapter 264 (1/2)
Hou Biao was arranged by Aoki to be Mei's personal bodyguard, so he was also present when they talked. After glancing at the list, he pointed to the name of one of the killers and said, ”I know this man. He used to stay in a mercenary regiment in France. Later, their captain died. After the team was dissolved, he came out to work alone. He is a difficult guy.”
Aoki asked, ”where are the others?”
Hou Biao shook his head and said, ”I don't know. They should be young people. This line also eats youth food. When they get old, they don't die with injuries. If they live and earn enough money, they will find a place to provide for the elderly.”
Aoki said, ”can you find them? We are too passive to wait for the killer to come to the door.”
Hou Biao said, ”you can try, but you can't guarantee it. There's no difference between killer organizations and mercenaries. They all kill with money. The difference is that killers usually don't participate in the war, but mercenaries take all kinds of work. But...”
”But what?”
Hou Biao hesitated and said, ”even if I find them, I can't deal with them alone.”
Aoki is right to think about it, but Hou Biao should have a way, otherwise he would have rejected it just now. People like him will never talk in a muddle.
”What do you need?”
”Money!” Hou Biao replied very simply, ”whether killers or mercenaries, they live through intermediaries. Except for war, they generally don't contact employers. However, if I want to get information from intermediaries, I can get a good price. In addition, I need to find some helpers and I also need money.”
”How much is it?” Aoki asked.
Hou Biao stretched out his palm and said, ”fifty million dollars.”
Aoki scratched his head. He had no idea about money, but he also knew that $50 million was not a small amount. He looked to Mei for it.
The professor coughed and said: ”It's reasonable to say that I can't move the accounts of the foundation, and our space box development has reached a critical stage, as well as the R & D and launch of encrypted communication satellites. It's just a time of lack of money, but it's related to the overall situation, I can make an exception. But even so, I can only come up with 20 million yuan, and the rest... Let the old wolf in Vancouver come out, maybe he will It can help others. ”
Aoki knew that the old wolf he said meant William wolf, so he said to Hou Biao, ”do as you think. It's best to find out who the employer is from the middleman.”
Hou Biao said, ”it's difficult. People in this industry regard credibility as more important than life. They may sell the whereabouts of the killer to me in the face of money, because it's not against credibility, but selling the employer is tantamount to smashing their jobs.”
Mei Ziqing said angrily, ”what's the credibility of doing such an outrageous business? Hypocrisy!”
Hou Biao's eyebrows shook. His expression didn't change. He just shut up and stopped talking.
Mei Zhuo said, ”thieves are also righteous. They are not the only ones who hurt nature and justice. If you want to say hypocrisy, only those who are officials deserve this word most!”
Seeing that the professor was serious, Mei Ziqing knew that he had just said something wrong. He stuck out his tongue and bowed down to apologize: ”I'm sorry, Professor, I'm sorry, Mr. Hou, I shouldn't have said that.”
