Chapter 931: Already Here
Soon, one million small-denomination old banknotes were delivered by helicopter.
Looking at the two large canvas bags full of money, Miranda finally understood why Zhang Tuohai didn't let her take more.
It would take a lot of effort for just the two of them to move all those banknotes, and if there were more, they would not be able to carry them all.
However, there is always some reluctance.
It was like entering a treasure chest full of treasures, but she could only take away a little, which made her feel regretful.
"Don't worry, we will get everything we deserve. It's just that we don't have enough transportation capacity this time. Next time, when we face Lehman Brothers again, we won't be in such a dilemma as today."
Zhang Tuohai patted Miranda on the shoulder and said.
"Are you going to face Lehman again?"
Miranda was puzzled.
She originally thought that Zhang Tuohai was planning to extort some final sum from Lehman Brothers and then flee.
As a result, Zhang Tuohai actually wanted to come back.
Is this crazy?
After all, she was not the worm in Zhang Tuohai's stomach, so she didn't know what Zhang Tuohai's goal was.
In fact, in Zhang Tuohai's eyes, the so-called Lehman Consortium is just a stepping stone. His real goal in this world is to reach the top and then walk in front of Zhiye. The rest are just tools to achieve his goal.
Carol also looked at Zhang Tuohai with the same confusion.
She didn't understand why Zhang Tuohai went to so much trouble to kidnap her but only put forward such a small condition. Was she only worth one million dollars in Zhang Tuohai's heart?
This is such a humiliation for her!
Unconsciously, her eyes were filled with anger when she looked at Zhang Tuohai. It was not the anger of being kidnapped, but the anger of being considered worthless!
Seeing the sudden anger in Carol's eyes, Zhang Tuohai was also extremely surprised. He didn't understand where Carol's sudden anger came from. He was not like this when he was kidnapped yesterday. But today, when he was about to be released, he suddenly became angry.
Women are indeed very difficult to reason with.
Zhang Tuohai thought helplessly.
Fortunately, he would be able to get rid of this troublesome guy soon. As long as he could escort himself ten kilometers into the border of Chicken Roll Country, he would be able to get rid of this troublesome magnet.
After counting the banknotes, he checked the canvas bag again. After confirming that there was no tracker attached to it, he nodded with satisfaction and threw the bag into the car.
"Let's go."
Miranda and Carol both got into the car silently.
Zhang Tuohai drove the car into the border checkpoint, but it was already empty.
Without any inspection, Zhang Tuohai easily entered the territory of Chicken Roll Country.
This area of Chicken Roll Country is a semi-arid region, with clusters of cacti and shrubs on the ground, and the wind is scorching and dry.
This natural environment made Zhang Tuohai feel dazed, as if he had come to the first world of survival.
However, the further we drove, the more numerous and lusher the trees became, and sparse woods could already be seen in the distance.
Driving straight along the road, when they reached the eight-kilometer area, Zhang Tuohai suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the car rushed off the road and rushed towards a forest in the distance.
Carol's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Is he going to break the contract? Is he going to kill me?"
Miranda didn't understand why Zhang Tuohai suddenly turned around, but she immediately took out her pistol and pointed it at Carol.
The car drove forward quickly for two kilometers, and suddenly there was a rumbling sound of water ahead.
Suddenly, a big river appeared in front of us. The river was dozens of meters wide, with fast-flowing water and a sound like thunder.
"Are you going to throw me into the river? But what should I do if I can't swim? It's urgent!"
Carol's heart was beating fast.
Zhang Tuohai took a look at the river, then jumped out of the car, took out a set of wrenches and jacks from the car, directly removed the four wheels, and used an electric saw to cut a piece of logs, and tied them together to make a simple raft.
"We're just sitting here ? What if it sinks halfway?"
Looking at the raft, Carol instinctively felt a little nervous. She had been feeling watersick since she fell into the river last time.
Any depth exceeding that of a bathtub is a forbidden zone for life.
"We're the ones sitting here. You just stay here. I think someone will come pick you up soon."
After saying that, Zhang Tuohai pulled Miranda onto the raft, then picked up the paddle made from the bumper and drifted downstream of the river.
"He left just like that? He just left like that? He didn't even look at me?"
Carol was extremely angry.
This was the first time she was ignored like this .
Even though she was released, she couldn't be happy.
She wanted to catch up and find out what was going on, but the surging river water stopped her steps and courage.
Finally, she stomped her feet angrily by the river.
She stared at the direction where Zhang Tuohai disappeared: "Just wait, I will definitely find you!"
About ten minutes later, three helicopters slowly landed next to the woods. A dozen people wearing desert special combat uniforms, carrying various short-barreled assault rifles and submachine guns, were roped down from the helicopters and rushed into the woods.
"Ms. Carol, the Vulture Special Operations Commando Team has been ordered to escort you back."
A one-eyed burly man who was in the lead spoke respectfully to Carol.
"Arnold, I order you to capture the two people who kidnapped me! Don't worry about the woman, but make sure to capture the man alive! Do you understand?"
Carol said coldly.
"Yes, I'll do it for you right away. You'll be able to see what you want to see before the sun sets."
Arnold waved his hand, leaving two female soldiers to protect Carol, and the rest were divided into three groups.
He dragged the kayak off the helicopter, inflated it, and jumped directly into the river to follow the trail to find Zhang Tuohai.
They searched from the air by helicopter all the way, and finally released drones to search the vast jungle, as if they would not give up until Zhang Tuohai was found.
"This time, I have a professional commando team. Let's see how you escape."
Carol looked at the vast jungle with full confidence.
At the same time, Zhang Tuohai was taking Miranda rapidly downstream.
Suddenly, Zhang Tuohai moved closer to the shore, then pulled Miranda onto the shore and pushed the raft back into the river.
"What? Why did you suddenly come ashore?"
Miranda was puzzled.
“Shh—”
Zhang Tuohai made a hushing gesture, then pulled Miranda to hide in the woods.
The woods near the riverbank have already taken on the appearance of a rainforest, with all kinds of vines and trees densely covering the sky, blocking out the sun, and almost no sunlight can be seen.
A moment later, there was a roar and a helicopter appeared over the river.
"Helicopter, are they coming after us? Why are they so fast?"
Miranda asked in astonishment.
"I've been following behind you all along, but I just moved a little further away so I wouldn't notice. Hey—"
Zhang Tuohai sneered, "Since you are here, if I let you go back like this, it would seem that I am not generous enough as your host."
