1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 611 This matter has just begun!
"What is the woman's full name?"

"Who is the mastermind behind this kidnapping?"

"Write down everything you know about this kidnapping. The more detailed the better."

Hawke looked at the paper and frowned.

Although it is said to be three questions, it is actually just one question, because two of them have been answered by them before.

But it was precisely because of this that he hesitated, because he knew very well that the answers given by the two people to the previous two questions were both true.

They did know that the woman's name was Carol Sally, and that she was the mastermind behind the kidnapping.

But precisely because of this, he did not dare to conclude the third question: would they lie or tell the truth?
If you write down a lie, it is obvious that you will gain nothing.

But if you write down the truth, you will have a high probability of getting one million dollars.

One million dollars, although not as much as what he would get from kidnapping Mr. Victor, is enough for him to change his current situation.

Even if they hand themselves over to the police, they won’t be afraid because they won’t be sentenced to a few years.

What's more, the other party said that the person who tells the truth first will be let off.

They didn't succeed after all, did they?
All the blame lies with that woman Carlo.

Thinking of this, Hawke no longer hesitated and began to write quickly on paper, telling all the inside information he knew.

At the same time, in the Elysee Palace in France, Mitterrand's secretary hurried into the study.

"Mr. President, I'm sorry to disturb your night's rest, but there is something I have to report to you."

"The Eastern guest you invited was kidnapped today!"

The secretary quickly informed Mitterrand of the news he had just received.

Mitterrand, who was in the study, heard this and his expression changed slightly.

“You mean Victor?”

"He was kidnapped?"

"What's the situation now? How did the news get out?"

Mitterrand was surprised and immediately spoke hurriedly to his secretary.

"Don't worry, Mr. President. Mr. Victor is fine. His security team is very capable and has caught all the kidnappers."

"Mr. Victor called the police, and the police knew the other party's identity and reported it immediately."

"Mr. President, I was wondering if we should send someone to the Athena Hotel to express our condolences to Mr. Victor?"

The secretary asked softly at this time.

“Of course, Albert, you take your people and go to the Athena Hotel in person to visit Mr. Victor and see if he needs any help.”

"Also, give the police department an order to get to the bottom of the case and find out who is behind Victor's attack."

Mitterrand said decisively to his secretary.

He now had an inexplicable intuition that the kidnapping arranged by the other party might not only be aimed at Victor, but also at him.

Otherwise, why didn't they kidnap him before, but only did it when he was about to discuss business cooperation with Victor?
"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

Secretary Albert nodded immediately, then turned and walked out.

In fact, Albert didn't have to do this personally, but from his words just now, Albert seemed to have volunteered, which was also his purpose.

As Mitterrand's secretary, he knew more information. For example, Victor came because he had already discussed with the President about investing in many industries.

What Albert was actually considering was whether he could get a share of these investments.

At the Athena Hotel, the four people handed in their answers very quickly.

"Look, the answers from the four people are just described from different perspectives, but the main idea is the same."

"It was this woman named Carlo who organized them together and planned the kidnapping and extortion."

"Well, they were reassured and told that France was going to abolish the death penalty, so this matter was not life-threatening?"

Li Changhe looked at the answers of several people, shook his head helplessly and said, "Is France going to abolish the death penalty?"

He really didn't know, but he knew that most countries in Europe, especially Western Europe, had abolished the death penalty.

This served as a reminder to him that he really needed to pay more attention to security forces in the future.

After all, when profits exceed 100%, capital dares to trample on the law, and when profits exceed 300%, capital dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged.

So is capital, so are people.

If there is really no concern about death, then kidnapping a wealthy man like Li Changhe is indeed a very profitable business. Let alone 300% profit, even 3,000% or 30,000% is possible.

"Boss, so the mastermind behind this is this Carlo?"

"Is it that woman?"

Ah Hu asked Li Changhe hesitantly at this time.

Li Changhe thought for a moment and then shook his head.

“No, I think it’s misleading.”

"Given Carlo's skills, if she really planned a kidnapping, the accomplice she found would definitely not be much worse than her, not this useless guy who looks like he has no ability."

"Birds of a feather flock together. With the strength of that woman Carlo, it's unlikely that she would hang out with these common criminals."

"But now, don't you think that the truth we learned was too smooth?"

Li Changhe said thoughtfully.

“That’s a bit simplistic.”

Ah Hu answered after thinking for a while.

"Don't worry, hand them over to the police and everything will be clear soon."

"By the way, go tell them that the check has been given to one of them, but we'll keep it a secret for each other!"

Li Changhe then said to Ah Hu with a smile.

After hearing this, an inexplicable smile appeared on Ah Hu's face.

"I think there will be a dog-eat-dog fight between them in the future."

Ah Hu could already foresee what would happen between the four of them for the non-existent one million dollar check?
Soon, the police arrived at the Athena Hotel and took Carlo and several others away.

Before Carlo left, he looked at Li Changhe with surprise.

This person actually handed her over to the police without even questioning her?

"Mr. Victor, I am President Mitterrand's secretary. My name is Albert Laurent. When the president learned that you were in danger, he immediately asked me to come to the hotel to visit you. You can tell me if you need anything."

"Of course, we are extremely sorry for this incident. The police will definitely give you an explanation, and we will also arrange for new security forces to join your team."

Albert spoke quickly to Li Changhe.

Li Changhe smiled and nodded: "Thank you Mr. President for your concern, and thank you Mr. Albert for coming."

"Actually, I don't have a big problem. I just want to know whether this kidnapping case was caused by these people who were blinded by money or by someone else."

"I believe that the police will give the truth."

"Of course, we will pay close attention to this matter and will give Mr. Victor the truth."

Upon hearing this, Albert immediately spoke seriously.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart that this oriental businessman was still easy to fool. At least handing all matters over to the police would make it easier for them to deal with these problems.

"Then we won't talk much tonight. I'm very tired after what I've experienced tonight. I want to rest. I hope Mr. Albert will forgive me."

Li Changhe just needs to tell Mitterrand and ask them to pay attention to the progress of the matter.

As for the rest, he can certainly pretend not to care.

Perhaps Albert thought that the matter was over, but what he didn't know was that for Li Changhe, this matter had just begun!
