Chapter 930 The first hot pot in the morning
Carol drove forward at full speed, driving very fast in anger, overtaking the patrol police on the roadside.
Under normal circumstances, the patrol police on the roadside would have caught up with the driver and issued a ticket.
But today, they all received a notice from the Lehman Consortium that they were not allowed to interfere with any of Zhang Tuohai's actions. They were afraid that any action would provoke Zhang Tuohai and endanger Carol's life safety.
Because, along the way, Carol ran through countless red lights, and no one dared to stop him.
Zhang Tuohai was too lazy to care. He knew that Carol was just venting his anger. When his strength was gone, he would be quiet.
He just half-leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest. After a while, he could hear a faint snoring sound.
Zhang Tuohai dared to sleep, but Miranda next to him did not dare to sleep. She was afraid that Carol would do something if they both fell asleep, so she stared at Carol with her eyes wide open.
The gun in his hand was always pointed at Carol's back.
Just as Zhang Tuohai had expected, Carol's madness only lasted for more than an hour. He continued to drive at a normal speed without any unnecessary movements. In the second half of the night, he even drove slower and slower as he became more and more tired, at one point dropping to 30 or 40 miles per hour.
Zhang Tuohai didn't wake up until the sky was slightly brighter. He looked at the two people with a pair of panda eyes and asked in astonishment: "You two didn't sleep last night?"
When Carol heard what Zhang Tuohai said, he got so angry that his nose became crooked.
"How dare I sleep without your permission?"
"Do you think it's appropriate for no one to watch over you? But you just went to sleep without caring about others. There was not even anyone to relieve you at night."
Miranda also said angrily.
"My fault. I didn't think it through."
Zhang Tuohai had no choice but to admit his mistake. It was all because the people around him used to be able to take care of themselves and he didn't need to worry about them at all. Therefore, he subconsciously ignored these problems, resulting in the two of them driving all night with eyes wide open.
"Where are we now?"
Zhang Tuohai rubbed his eyes and asked .
"We'll be at the Tomato Market soon. It's still ten kilometers away."
Miranda turned on her phone, checked the electronic navigation and said.
"Well, then work harder, have breakfast at Tomato City, and call Lehman Group to tell them that I want to have hot pot in the morning, a double-flavored hot pot, half spicy and half super spicy."
Zhang Tuohai thought for a while and said.
"Are you crazy? Eating hotpot early in the morning?" Miranda looked at Zhang Tuohai in confusion.
"Anyway, the rights will expire soon, so I might as well not use them. I want fatty beef, shrimp paste, hand-cut lamb, tripe, and lamb brains..."
Zhang Tuohai ordered a variety of dishes in succession.
"How could you eat so much by yourself?"
Miranda asked .
"Who said I should eat alone? We should eat together, three of us. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."
Zhang Tuohai pointed at Carol.
Only by ensuring that the three people eat the same food can we ensure that the Lehman Group will not dare to poison it.
The car slowly drove into the Tomato Market and then stopped in the central square of the Tomato Market.
There were originally quite a few tourists here, but they were all forcibly driven away by the police. The entire square was vacated, and a whole set of hot pot was transported in by helicopter, using gas. A variety of dishes filled a long table.
“That’s pretty sincere.”
Zhang Tuohai walked around and saw that the ingredients were really fresh, some of them even had water droplets hanging on them.
Through his peripheral vision he could also see several people holding up scopes in the tall buildings around them.
"Let those 26 people leave. If no one leaves after ten seconds, I will press the detonator directly. If one person does not leave, I will cut off one of Carol's fingers. Start the timer now."
Zhang Tuohai said this and put his hand on the detonator.
"what to do?"
The experts looked at each other in bewilderment.
The snipers they arranged were all elite mercenaries selected from the mercenaries. They were all veterans who had been tested on the battlefield and were very experienced.
However, Zhang Tuohai only took a glance and accurately revealed the total number of people in their ambush. How is this possible? Many elite soldiers on the battlefield, even with digital combat equipment, dare not say that they can find all the ambushers at a glance. How did Zhang Tuohai do it without bringing anything?
Could it be that there is a traitor?
An idea arose in the hearts of many experts.
Although it sounds ridiculous, this is the only plausible explanation.
There was an insider who collaborated with outsiders to kidnap Miss Carol. Only this explanation could explain how the other party obtained Miss Carol's accidental itinerary.
"We must find out who this traitor is! Everyone must be investigated!"
Lehman personally made the decision and issued the order.
"Those snipers?"
"Everyone retreat, you're a bunch of trash!" Lehman said coldly.
Soon, all the snipers were evacuated.
"That's more like it."
Zhang Tuohai watched the snipers withdraw, then nodded with satisfaction and took the two of them to sit at the table to eat the first hot pot of the morning.
After eating and drinking, a middle-aged man in a suit came over, stood in front of Zhang Tuohai and said respectfully: "Mr. Zhang, I am the representative of Lehman Group. We want to know what conditions you need to release Miss Carol. As long as you can make a request, as long as we can do it, we will definitely satisfy you."
"It's very simple. Let Miss Carol escort us to a distance of ten kilometers from the border. At that time, I will naturally let Miss Carol leave. As for the conditions, withdraw all personnel from the border checkpoint and prepare 1 million small-denomination old banknotes with non-consecutive numbers. Don't use a suitcase, but a canvas backpack to carry it. If I find any tricks, I will no longer guarantee Carol's life. Do you understand?"
Zhang Tuohai said as he drank a glass of grape juice.
"That's it..."
The middle-aged man was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Zhang Tuohai had spent so much time on this and the request was so simple?
Just one million?
"Why do you want so little?"
Miranda was also puzzled.
"Do you know how much one million is?" Zhang Tuohai rolled his eyes at Miranda. "Besides, it's old bills with small denominations. One backpack is the limit for one person. No matter how much money you have, you have to be alive to spend it."
"Then you can also ask for some weapons, cars and so on."
"Do you dare to use the things they give you? If they hit the locator, they don't even need to meet you, a missile can solve it."
Zhang Tuohai sneered.
"That……"
"Don't worry, I have already arranged the plan for the rest, just follow it."
Zhang Tuohai said with full confidence.
"Oh well."
The conditions soon reached Lehman.
Looking at these simple conditions, even Leiman was scratching his head, not sure what Zhang Tuohai was up to.
"Do as he says. Send the drones to follow them and see what they are up to. Also, send the Vulture Commandos over as well."
Lehman made the final decision.
