Chapter 277: Bounty is obtained, whoever you love
Chapter 277: Bounty is obtained, whoever you love
Zheng Yun was very angry.
He is not as calm as Xu Yi, although the person on the black list will be Xu Yi, not Zheng Yun. But Augustan's approach is indeed a bit price-deprecating, and it feels like it's "unaffordable".
Of course, Zheng Yun didn't know about the garden encounter between Augustan and Xu Yi, otherwise he would probably be able to understand Augustan.
As a well-known wealthy businessman in France, Augustin was tricked by Xu Yi in his own manor, and even allowed his bodyguards to control his personal freedom. This was simply a great shame! Although the reward was initiated by Augustan, he couldn't do anything to Xu Yi directly, but it wasn't unreasonable to hold a press conference to announce it to the world, and also invite the person in charge of the black list to come and take a look, right?
Xu Yi was very open-minded:
"Mr. Zheng, you don't have to worry about me."
"Whether it's a black list or a red list, it actually doesn't have much impact on me. My main activity radius is still within the country. Even if I really want to go abroad, can the other party stop me?"
"Brother Xu, don't worry." Zheng Yun promised, "If you encounter any obstacles in the process of going abroad in the future, just come to me and I will handle these things for you."
Although Zheng Yun has no way to control the behavior of the black list, he is very familiar with the visa process.
Even if Xu Yi doesn't use his name, as long as he wants to get out, he will always have a way to solve it. When Xu Yi flew directly from the foggy capital of Great Britain to New York and then transferred back to China, it was Zheng Yun who helped with the operation. Xu Yi's true identity information was not used during the entire process.
……
The famous painting "The Matador" was stolen, and the 100 million reward was settled.
This news, during the Olympics, was like a bulging laser that shot through the sky above the entire Huadu.
Even some people who were not aware of this matter have become interested in it. After all, things like a 100 million bounty could only be seen in novels in the past. Who would have thought that it could happen in real life?
Isn't this more exciting than an Olympic gold medal?
Therefore, this press conference has attracted widespread attention throughout Huadu before it even started.
In the streets and alleys, countless people began to discuss the whole story.
"It's true that someone could steal that painting. Isn't that amazing?"
"Could it be that the security personnel inside had stolen it out?"
"impossible!"
"I know about this. I heard from a distant relative of mine that a top thief really came this time. He was so sophisticated that he didn't pay attention to the security system at all. He went in to get it. Painting is like entering a deserted place!”
"Nonsense. If the security system was really so bad, the painting would have been taken away long ago. How could it wait until now?"
"The news I heard is that the big thief who came this time has a more advanced jamming system."
"Where did you hear all this gossip?"
"It's so unreliable! In fact, the truth of the matter is that someone pretended to be Augustan and went in and stole the painting."
"..."
All kinds of gossip news are flying all over the sky, making the melon-eating people overwhelmed.
Next to the Eiffel Tower, the Pullman Hotel.
Journalists from all walks of life, who are always on the front line of eating melons, took the lead in blocking the entrance of the hotel. Xu Yi looked from a distance and didn't show up easily. However, even if he showed up, no one would notice him.
Most of these reporters came to surround Augustan.
As for the big thief...
No one knows the true face and true identity of the thief until the mystery is revealed.
The press conference was scheduled for 11 o'clock in the morning. At 10:30, Augustan took his own car and arrived at the Pullman Hotel. The pomp this time was obviously grander than his daily outings. There are bodyguards in the front car, bodyguards in the rear car, and the middle car is Augustan's car.
There are six bodyguards on the surface alone.
As for whether there are secret bodyguards among other staff members, no one knows.
The reporters were not afraid at all and rushed forward.
They are in this business, so why are they afraid of mere bodyguards?
The microphone was handed to Augustan, and the SLR camera clicked wildly, as if every second at night, the value of this news would be greatly reduced. Xu Yi didn't want to care about what the reporters were talking about, so he blended in among them, pretending to be a hotel staff member, and quietly entered the hotel.
The banquet hall is located on the third floor.
The entire first floor was covered today, and cold meals, drinks, and seasonal fruits were provided.
Augustan didn't say a word from the moment he got off the car, and he didn't get down to business until the press conference started.
"Everyone, friends from journalists and friends from the media."
"Hello fellow travelers from all over the world."
"I am businessman Augustan, and I am sorry to meet you in this way during the Olympics. About half a month ago, I announced a reward plan to all media, promising that as long as someone can avoid triggering the security in my manor, Alert system, and successfully steal a designated painting from my manor, then I will reward this person 100 million. "
"In the past half a month, my manor has been invaded at least more than a hundred times."
"There are French masters and masters from other countries."
"They tried their best to enter the manor and steal the painting, but unfortunately, they all failed."
"Until...the day before yesterday!"
"The painting was stolen the evening before yesterday."
Augustan said these words calmly, and the whole audience was in an uproar.
Although there were rumors like this before the press conference, the impact was completely different from hearing Augustin admit it in person. For a moment, everyone in the press conference was whispering, simply marveling at who had such a powerful method.
Just listen to Augustan continue:
"I'm ashamed to say it."
"I was at the scene when the thief stole my painting. Not only did I fail to stop him from leaving, but I was restrained by him. Don't get me wrong, from beginning to end, the other party did not use violence at all. Meets the requirements of the reward.”
"You must be curious. I have bodyguards with me and the other party didn't use force. How could I be counterattacked?"
When Augustan said this, he deliberately stopped and glanced downwards.
He wanted to look for Xu Yi.
However, Augustan did not know Xu Yi. Even if their eyes met, he might not be able to recognize Xu Yi.
"That's the great thing about this guy."
"He can do it. He looks and sounds exactly like me. That's why my bodyguard couldn't tell the difference and was deceived by this person. Sir, I think you must have come to the scene today, right?"
This sudden question shocked everyone present.
Anyone who suddenly learns that there is such a thief hiding next to him, who can not be surprised?
Everyone looked sideways.
Everyone wants to see what such an awesome person looks like and who he is?
Xu Yi was indifferent.
What are you looking at? Have you never seen a handsome guy? He was waiting for Xu Yi to show up when Augustan said that the bounty would be cashed out. The only purpose of his attendance at this press conference was to confirm that the bounty had been received. He came today not to answer Augustan's questions, nor to accept interviews from any reporters.
No one found Xu Yi.
Augustan also didn't notice that the banquet hall was packed with dozens of media reporters and hotel staff, but no one was particularly conspicuous.
Augustan withdrew his gaze, and then said:
"I said that to pay the bounty, you need to come and claim it yourself."
"If no one shows up, then the reward will be..."
"Mr. Augustan, you are such a man of your word!" At this moment, Xu Yi's voice sounded. As soon as he appeared, all the spotlights on the field were basically directed towards Xu Yi's face, and he wanted to give it to him. Xu Yi took a high-definition personal facial photo. "I just arrived. I hope I didn't miss you paying the bounty."
Xu Yi walked towards the main stage while talking.
He walked up to Augustan, took out Augustan's ID card from his arms, and handed it over: "I think this is enough to prove my identity, right?"
Augustan remained calm and did not reach out to receive his ID card.
Instead, he looked at Xu Yi with interest:
"good very good!"
"Sure enough, a hero comes from a young age. He is so capable at such a young age. I admire him!"
"However, if you want to prove your identity, this alone is not enough. I think you must have other ways to prove your identity, right?"
Just an ID card.
Xu Yi can give it to others, and Augustan can also report it as lost. It really doesn't prove much.
Xu Yi looked at Augustan, who was unmoved and returned Xu Yi's meaningful gaze.
Stage fright?
It doesn't exist at all.
Of these two people, one is a predator who has been in the business for decades; the other is an artist who dares to go to the British Museum to get something. Who would be afraid of this mere scene?
After a long time, Xu Yi gave in a little and said:
"Mr. Augustan, must it be like this?"
Augustan: "Of course."
Call ~
Xu Yi took a deep breath and then walked up to the podium. Augustan stepped aside with a tacit understanding. Just listen to Xu Yi say into the microphone: "He can do it. No matter how he looks or sounds, he is exactly the same as me. That's why my bodyguard couldn't tell the difference and was deceived by this person. Sir, I think you must be here today." Are you here?"
"I said that to pay the bounty, you need to come and claim it yourself."
"If no one shows up, then the reward will be..."
These words are exactly what Augustan said just now, word for word.
It is not surprising that Xu Yi was able to retell it.
Many people have good memories and can memorize a lot of things in a short period of time.
However, what shocked everyone was that the tone, tone, rhythm, and timbre of Xu Yi's words were exactly the same as Augustan's. If you close your eyes, you will definitely think that this is Augustan standing in front of you.
This was not done through some high-tech imitation of sound, but Xu Yi simulated it on the spot!
Pure human voice!
Such methods are truly terrifying.
After all, with the help of high-tech facial imitation and vocal imitation, there are still traces, which cannot be completely restored after careful identification.
Everyone was shocked!
The whole place is silent!
Only then did Xu Yi turn around and said to Augustan:
"Mr. Augustan, I think I have already proved my identity, right?"
Augustan clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Yes, it's you. This unique skill is enough."
What he meant was that Xu Yi no longer had to pretend to be himself. Listening to the voice, he recognized Xu Yi, the man who ordered his bodyguards to hold him down in the manor that day.
Augustan walked to the microphone and announced loudly:
"I am now announcing to the world that the reward for the famous painting has been won by this gentleman. The reward of 100 million will be transferred to this gentleman's account within half an hour. There is no falsehood. In addition, about Picasso's "Bullfighting" "Shi" is indeed authentic. Interested collectors can contact this gentleman. "
Subsequently, Augustan verified Xu Yi's identity information and account information and transferred money on the spot under the witness of many reporters.
Zheng Yun had prepared the account early, so Xu Yi didn't need to worry about these trivial matters.
A bounty of 7 million went into Xu Yi's account. According to the previously agreed distribution ratio, Xu Yi kept 7%, and the remaining % was transferred back to Zheng Yun, who distributed it to other members of the Night Action Team.
In the banquet hall, in the corner against the inner wall.
There was a man wearing a retro hat who kept looking at Xu Yi carefully.
If someone stands in front of this person, they can recognize that he is the person in charge of the black list!
The Black List is known as the global list of dangerous people. Anyone who can be on the list is the focus of various countries. Some people are underground bosses with many evil deeds; some people are the gods of Wall Street, turning their hands into clouds and rain, turning the country's finances upside down; and some people are imprisoned in Mississippi prisons, layer by layer. They are guarded at all levels and are not allowed to come out for the rest of their lives. Of course, there are people like Xu Yi who have extraordinary means but live an ordinary life.
The ranking of dangerous people does not refer to any dangerous behavior the other party has done.
Rather, it refers to how harmful it will be if the other party wants to do something dangerous.
Right now, he is thinking:
Is Xu Yi qualified to be on the black list?
Just imitating a voice is really not necessary to be on the list.
What's so dangerous about this?
But if you think about it more carefully, it is true that Xu Yi was able to sneak into Augustan's manor, evade the security system, confront Augustan himself, and backhand order Augustan's bodyguards to subdue Augustan. He also has some skills.
Hmm~ We need more information before we can judge!
In any case, since Augustan invited himself here, he must investigate this Xu Yi, right?
Xu Yi didn't know that someone was about to start investigating him.
For him, he loves so and so.
Anyway, buddy, I got the bounty, 70 million euros, which is nearly 600 million soft girl coins in income.
Not a loss.
After finishing these things, Xu Yi left the Pullman Hotel immediately. Lu Xu's car parked outside the hotel and drove Xu Yi away from the scene immediately. He changed cars three times and finally escaped the crazy pursuit of reporters.
The famous painting has a reward of 100 million.
The dust has settled.
"Brother Xu, what are your next plans?" Zheng Yun asked with concern: "Although the black list matter will not have any impact on you for the time being. However, you must be more careful."
Xu Yi frowned: "What are you careful about?"
Just listen to Zheng Yun say:
"If you are really on the list, some people may be unconvinced and come to fight you. Or maybe some people believe in justice and come to you to fight. In short, it won't go wrong to be more careful."
Xu Yi's eyes widened: Damn it...Mr. Zheng, you didn't say this before! !
