Chapter 24 Expensive Ransom

While Han Ankang was chatting with these relatives, there were also several bigwigs waiting for the news in Brown's office in the New York City Building. As time disappeared minute by minute, these people seemed a little anxious.

Although there is still a lot of time before the other party’s proposal. But everyone knows that if we wait until tomorrow to talk about this, the result will be really hard to predict. Therefore, these people also urged Brown to contact Situ Yuan again.

For the first time, Brown, who felt that his role was so huge, said calmly: "Mr. Secretary of State, I have told Mr. Situ before. Based on my understanding of him, he will give me an answer today.

If I contact him now, he will inevitably feel disgusted. I believe that Mr. Secretary of State does not want to miss this opportunity, right? So, let's wait a little longer, I think it will disappear soon."

As a member of the New York Parliament, Brown knew very well that he could not be separated from the support of the Situ family. Even if some congressmen scolded him, he was a traitor who spoke specifically for the Chinese ethnic group, his status as a congressman was equally strong.

Nowadays, the MP who lives in Parliament has no supporters behind it?

He was originally from a poor family and relied on his father to have business dealings with the Situ family. He finally got to know the Chinese family led by the Situ family. Relying on these families and not good at doing business, he resolutely stepped into politics and reached his current position.

Brown knew very well who gave it all. Although he asked himself, he was still patriotic. On the premise of being patriotic, he had to maintain his current status. If he lost his qualifications as a member of parliament, he would be nothing.

When he was suffering, he did not see this loyal country giving him much help. On the contrary, it was the Chinese people that politicians looked down upon by him that gave his father business and income and helped him to this position.

Brown knew very well that the one end was light and the other end was heavy. What's more, at this time, how can these self-righteous political tycoons highlight his huge role?

If Brown really wants to choose, he would like to have more people like Han Ankang, the better. Only people like Han Ankang appear. He, a member of parliament who relies on Chinese support to the top will be valued and valued by Congress.

Brown, who was drinking coffee calmly, suddenly heard the phone ringing on the table. The Secretary of State and others who were sitting here waiting immediately absorbed his eyes. Brown finally smiled at the caller ID.

He said: "I have said long ago that Mr. Situ is a person who believes in his words."

Brown, who answered the phone, seemed very happy and said, "Hello, Mr.!"

But at this moment, Brown heard Situ Yuan and said unhappily: "Brown, why didn't you tell me before? What were the dirty things the people above did to my grandson? He was a doctor, not a spy or terrorist.

Two consecutive assassinations, and even on his way to New York, your government sent fighter planes to threaten it. Is this still a matter of democracy and freedom? I am very angry about the government's actions!"

Situ Yuan, who had fired a gun, said somewhat embarrassedly: "Old man, please calm down. I didn't know about these things before. But things have happened, and the above expressed humility.

If you and your grandson have any requirements, you can ask. Now the Secretary of State is sitting in my office. If it is convenient, can we visit your residence? Some misunderstandings always need to be resolved!"

Hearing Brown's words, Situ Yuan was stunned and said, "Forget it, my grandson is very angry at what the government has done. Especially the previous incident of threats from military aircraft has made him angry now!

If it weren't for the sake of our relationship for many years, I wouldn't have spoken out. So, my grandson promised you to come and talk to him first on behalf of the government. I can't get involved in this matter, do you understand?"

Brown, who was waiting for this sentence, was delighted and said, "Okay, I'll be here soon, I'll disturb you!"

Brown, who hung up the phone, looked at the unhappy bosses and spread his hands helplessly and said, "Mr. Secretary of State, Mr. Minister, I'm very sorry. That Han doesn't seem to want to talk to you, so I'll let me negotiate on my behalf.

Now can you tell me what the bottom line I can agree to? Please rest assured by the Secretary of State and the Minister, I will do my best to let our children be released as soon as possible. But how much sincerity the other party needs is not something I can guarantee."

If he brought the Secretary of State and others over there, Brown would make at most the credit of the middlemen. He could represent the government to negotiate, and he would gain more political capital, and he could even please profits at both ends. Of course, it would be a good thing!

If he had the chance, he would even want to kiss Han Ankang and his wife. Such opportunities are really not many for him who conveyed voices on behalf of the Chinese. In any case, he must seize the opportunity!

Faced with Brown's attitude, the Secretary of State really wanted to lead troops to surround the Situ Mansion and find the hateful doctor out. But he knew that such things could not be done, otherwise the impact would be very bad.

As a country composed of various ethnic groups, although they practice white supremacy, without these Chinese and black immigrants, the United States would not have grown to such a level. Race issues are very sensitive.

In addition, the current president has issued a declaration on eliminating racial discrimination during his election campaign. If there is no reasonable evidence, it is inevitable that the upper-class Chinese families like the Situ family will easily cause unpredictable political risks.

The helpless Secretary of State could only tell Brown to try his best to resolve the conflict between the two sides. Any conditions can be discussed. The most important thing is to rescue the kidnapped soldiers and survive the soldiers' crisis in front of him.

The anti-war sentiment in China is high, and such a thing happens to the troops stationed abroad. The face of the police in the world is really lost. The most important thing is that those who are interested will use this matter to attack the government's national policy!

Brown, who was heavy on his shoulders, quickly took his secretary to the Situ family under the expectations of these bigwigs. Although he was a member of parliament, he was not as luxurious as traveling there, and was all equipped with bodyguards.

What's more, with his understanding of the Situ family, entering the Situ family is no different from entering the White House. With the Situ family's preservation measures, unless the army is dispatched to attack, it will be a safe place.

When Brown arrived at Situ's Mansion, he watched the arrival of the old acquaintance of the head of the family. The servants of the Situ family politely invited him to the living room of the Situ family. Only Han Ankang and Situ Yuan were qualified to participate in the conversation.

Even Situ Lanfang, who wanted to participate in the discussion, was persuaded by Han Ankang to go out. There were some things that he didn't want to implicate this mother too much. Anyway, the Situ family's foundation was in this territory!

Situ Yuan acted as the intermediary and introduced the MP Brown. After being simple and polite, Brown also went straight to the topic and said: "Mr. Han, I wonder what your requirements or conditions are for this matter?"

Han Ankang also likes people who speak directly and nodded, "To be honest, I am in a passive state from beginning to end. In addition, I have come to the United States for three times this time. I asked myself that I did not violate any laws of your country.

But this incident really made me very angry. Your government has repeatedly used this dirty method to destroy normal medical practice. I also need to show my strength.

I am a person who is easy to talk to, but I also have to distinguish who I am. I will show my sincerity to a friend like Mr. Brown. I can promise to help with that matter, but I need some sincerity.”

As long as he is willing to release people, it means that more than half of the task is completed. As for how much money is, Brown doesn't care at all. The matter about money is the Secretary of State and others, and all he has to do is complete this.

For this reason, Brown quickly said: "Indeed, sometimes, those people's methods are lost. But Mr. Han also knew that there is a saying in China that when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and it is inevitable that some bad sheep will emerge.

For the safety of those innocent children, please ask Mr. Han for more help. If you have any requests, Mr. Han said. Now our Secretary of State and the Minister are waiting for my reply! They are really anxious!"

If it were a frank and direct guy, it was the first time Han Ankang met him. But I have to say that this guy got his temper and knew that he was standing in his own position and was unfair to him at this time.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's do this! Those people must be asking for money. Although your government has paid 20 million US dollars for mercenaries. Then let them pay more. I don't ask for more, so add more zeros later!"

He said something lightly, and almost choked Situ Yuan who was drinking tea. Add an extra zero, which means 20 million will turn into 200 million! This grandson’s bamboo rig is so fierce!

Regarding Han Ankang's request, Brown also said happily: "Please wait for Mr. Han, I will contact Mr. Secretary of State here!"

As Brown asked to open the request, the Secretary of State immediately said angrily: "No, we can't pay so much ransom. We can give up to 50 million US dollars of ransom, and there will be no more."

Han Ankang heard this and his face changed quickly: "Mr. Brown, please turn the voice to the amplification mode! 50 million, is it used to send beggars?

Forty-two people, if you follow the ransom they had previously proposed, you will need to give out 420 million ransom. I have already given you a 50% discount. If you still don’t agree, please forgive me for being powerless.

But according to my friend, many wealthy anti-American organizations in the Middle East are willing to buy people with money. Even if they can’t sell one for ten million, it’s okay to think that five million per person. After all, it’s a relief to kill them!”

As soon as these words came out, the Secretary of State and others who were sitting in Brown's office were immediately shocked. If the other party really sold the kidnapped soldiers as meat tickets to those terrorist organizations, someone might really buy five million each!
