âOne night, haha! I canât wait that long!â
Dietris countered, âIâll only give you two hours.â
âTwo hoursâ¦â
It was simply impossible to prepare so much cash at such short notice! This man was trying to make things difficult for them!
It was not that he did not have the ability to satisfy Dietrisâ exorbitant demand, but the reality was that it was already late at night. Even if it was a direct transfer from the account, there were backend processes. Moreover, what he wanted was cash, where would he get that much cash?!
Three billion USD?!
Not every bank had such an extraordinary amount of foreign-exchange reserves!
Furthermore, the banks were closed now. If they urgently informed the higher-ups that they needed to withdraw $3 billion USD in cash, it would be extremely difficult!
Moreover, he had to be at the harbor in two hours. Otherwise, his mother may be in danger!
However, if they relied on Hurricane Group, the three billion would not be difficult.
As far as he knew, most of Hurricane Groupâs transactions were cash transactions. Therefore, it was not difficult for Hurricane Group to raise three billion in cash.
However, Gong Jie would need time to make his way over from the Hurricane headquarters.
Dietris said, âRemember, I want cash. In two hours, Iâll send someone to pick you up at the harbor. If I donât see the three billion, donât blame me for what Iâd do next! Itâs not like I didnât give you a chance!â
Youyou could not care less and agreed readily. âOkay! You have my word!â
âRemember, you have two hours, you will come alone with the cash. If you bring others with you, my bullets show no mercy!â
Dietris was very cunning. He knew that one more person meant greater danger for himself.
If it was just a child, he would be able to keep things under control. However, things would be more uncertain if there was an adult around.
He was not so foolish as to take the risk.
âI want to see her first!â Youyou made the request.
When Dietris heard this, he laughed. âYou think this is a negotiation?!â
âWeâre both businessmen. You made your terms. Why canât I make my terms?â
âYouâre wrong. This isnât a business deal.â
âEven if this is to redeem someone, you have to give me assurance that she is safe!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIn your dreams.â Dietrisâ attitude was very firm. âRemember, you have only two hours. If you do not turn up in two hours, you can expect to receive a dead body! Hahaâ¦â
The video call was then disconnected in the midst of Dietrisâ cold and arrogant laughter!
After ending the call, Youyou bit his lips tightly and looked up at his father.
âDaddy, are we able to prepare that much cash within an hour?â
âThree billion?â
The man sucked in a deep breath. âTime is tight, but we should be able to come up with a solution.â
The way he said it meant that he couldnât raise that much cash in an hour.
He was well aware of Mu Yazheâs financial situation. He had three billion USD in foreign currency reserves, but even if he had access to it, he would not be able to have it ready in the form of cash in such a short time.
Dietris was deliberately making things difficult for him.
This meant that he already had a plan of what he was going to do next.
âWe donât have enough time.â
Youyou replied, âItâs alright even if we canât get the cash together in time. Iâll go alone.â
âAbsolutely not.â Mu Yazhe refused to entertain the idea. âHow do you think youâre going to do this?â
He would only be seeking his own death.
âI will negotiate with him, of course.â
