This witch calls me daddy

Chapter 396: Fish hook, bait, destined person

A formal dress, a cane, a delicate back, and a god-like expression...

The more Lu Ye looked at them, the more he felt that Vlad and Rowan looked alike.

But you still have to maintain careful politeness on the surface.

If the other party came to investigate, or even to seek revenge, there would be nothing to say, just beat him to death and beat him to death... But since the other party came here through Sophia's introduction, and his demeanor was quite polite, Lu Ye guessed He probably wasn't here to seek revenge.

Sure enough, the silver-haired middle-aged man said: "This note belongs to one of my cousins, Rowan Doran. He is an explorer. He traveled to the Central and Southern Continent more than a year ago, but lost contact soon. With him Also missing are the accompanying bodyguards and retinue, a total of twenty-three people, and they were last seen at the bank of Silver Moon Lake."

Lu Ye looked at the other party noncommittally, carefully discerning Vlad's true purpose, whether he came to ask for help, or whether he had already suspected him and came to test for confirmation.

"So what you need is..."

"I hope you can help me find him." Vlad Doran replied neatly, without too much sadness, "I know that he has most likely been killed, but the Doran family never abandons blood, and he still has blood in him. It's a very important thing, I need you to help me find it and get it back."

"Something very important? What is it?"

Lu Ye nodded noncommittally, but his mind was racing.

Lu Ye remained calm on the surface, but secretly sighed in his heart:
Sure enough, you can't brag about this bullshit casually. Anyone who brags about it will always be taken seriously and will be remembered by others in the future.

Because the records in the notes are not complete, there are a lot of fragmented information, and Lu Ye is busy running around all day long, and he is not even busy raising children and making friends. There is no time to waste time on such fictitious things, so he simply doesn’t Never mind this again.

What a joke! Let him surrender? Of course he chose to keep this secret silent forever!
So Lu Ye planned to refuse: "You also said that things have been going on for a long time. Although we do have some connections locally, but..."

But after hearing him say that he had tried many methods and found nothing, Lu Ye felt at ease.

Vlad looked at the two brothers from the Luolai family next to him: "Because Devin mentioned that you have some local connections in the Central and South Region, and you can mobilize the local people to do some things. It has been a long time since, and we have tried many things. The usual methods have yielded nothing, so I wanted to ask you to try them.”

"A notepad."

As if he heard what he meant, Vlad raised his palm politely, indicating that he wanted to interrupt: "Of course, for this difficult and complicated work, the Dolan family will not be stingy in return. I will pay Mr. Lu 500 million as a start-up. Funds, if the investigation leads to specific and accurate information, whether alive or dead, whether the relics are recovered or not, I will pay another 1500 million as a thank you."

This is a treasure hunting note, about a war treasure, and there may even be records about magic stones.

As for asking myself for help...

Unexpectedly, this suffering master actually came to the door!
Lu Ye showed a curious expression: "Why do you think I can help?"

Indeed, after killing Luo Wen and his team, they did find a notepad, which was thrown to Liangzhi as a learning material. After Liangzhi analyzed it, the reply he gave him was:

This means he is safe for now.

I've flooded mines, blown up caves, and kidnapped corrupt officials. All in all, I haven't found anyone valuable to you!
And this man... I killed him with my own hands!
You...are you really not sarcastic?
As for the 500 million start-up capital...

Lu Ye was stunned: seize the young master?

Lu Ye was already thinking about how to surrender.

He is really short of money right now!
Now Lu Ye has only more than 10 million in liquidity, including the liquidity that Hyena Company can mobilize. Regarding the upcoming war in Western Shandong, Lu Ye has made a calculation:

If Donghuang's elite team is willing to come to help, he plans to spend 500 million to let those fierce people help him have a snowball fight and solve his urgent need. In fact, this is really not much money. Even if it is calculated based on only half a year of service, the per capita monthly salary for 150 people is only more than 5000, which is not as good as their hyena defense mission in Central and South China. He felt that this was a big advantage to the instructor.

In addition, give the other half to Sophia and ask her to use her princess charm to deal with the dispatch of troops from the northern city-state. If there is a city-state mercenary similar in size to the Donghuang United Army, the two fists can be used in a localized manner. He will be emboldened in conflicts.

As for the protective group that was just established today, I'm sorry, Lu Ye didn't even have a penny of budget to prepare for them.

They are all natives of Shandong Province. They have the motivation to defend their hometown and protect their relatives. Labor costs should be reduced as much as possible. When the scale becomes large in the future, the provisional government will be able to operate and be self-sufficient. Let’s talk about military pay. thing.

This is his simple mercenary team building budget, but one item is missing here: weapons, equipment and supplies are not considered.

Even if they are all infantry units and all have light weapons, they still need at least cold-proof clothing, food supplies, and tactical communication equipment. If they want to ensure combat efficiency, then night vision equipment, squad machine gun firepower, and even projection firepower are also required. What should be prepared, as well as the vehicle and fuel consumption?

Even though some income may be confiscated during the battle, fighting is not about threshing grain. You cannot rely solely on the harvest. Even if you go out to rob, you still have to prepare some gas money...

So Lu Ye planned to get some credit from his cheap father-in-law, the great King Gustar...

Therefore, Vlad asked for 500 million, and it turned out to be 2000 million in total, which almost solved his early logistical support problem. How could he not be tempted?

Lu Ye thought about it for a moment, then decided to agree.

Of course he won't really surrender, but he knows the truth! He really knows where Rowan is buried!
Although they buried the mountain before leaving, it would be easy to find some clues to prove that Rowan died there. Wouldn't that be enough?

As for the relic notebook, I'm sorry, it's buried in the mountains. You can dig it up yourself.

Lu Ye secretly smiled and opened his mouth to agree, but his brother Dai Wen suddenly shook his head, sighed, and spoke.

"I believe that Mr. War Knight is very willing to help Mr. Doran, but as you can see, the current situation in Luxi is when the war is raging. At this critical period, it may be difficult for him to spare time to take care of this matter. "

Ok?
Lu Ye was startled.

Devin's words...Why did it seem like he was trying to persuade him not to take this job?
Is it possible that this is a fraud?
Or some other reason?
Lu Ye hesitated for a moment, and Ferad already smiled and nodded:

"I understand. In fact, I'm not very anxious. After all, Rowan has been missing for so long. Mr. Lu just needs to keep this matter in mind. He really has no time to care about it, even if he appoints local friends to help. And... Regarding the affairs of the Luxi Holy Theocracy, I can also express my position on behalf of the Daolang family, and I will do my best to support your development here."

As soon as he said these words, Lu Ye keenly caught the flash of light in Devin's eyes!
Full of joy of getting what you want and getting what you want!

Lu Ye suddenly understood that the black-hearted Devin's words just now were not to persuade him not to accept it, but to forcefully connect the matter of finding his brother and Lu Xi, and take the opportunity to drag Dolan into trouble!
He couldn't help but glance at Sophia.

He suddenly had a feeling that the purpose of Sophia bringing this Ferad Doran here was not to help him contact and find someone, but to take this opportunity to tie him to his chariot!

He Luye is the bait for fishing, used to attract people.

The Luo Lai brothers are like fishing hooks. They are sharp at critical moments and make it impossible for people to escape.

Mr. Doran is obviously the one who is destined to take the bait.

As for Sophia, who has been smiling like a vase next to her...

That's the guy with the fishing rod!
