Major TV stations are still broadcasting live, and tonight is destined to be a long night.
10:23pm:
"The robbers lynched Congressman John Turner and his son Brock Turner for interrogation. John Turner admitted to framed 'Lin', and had a series of private transactions with the police, judges, etc., and admitted that the girl was assassinated by a killer he hired
.”
11:15pm:
"The police were preparing to launch a rescue operation. The robbers detonated the bombs that were arranged in advance. Five of the seven members of the SWAT rescue team were injured, three of them seriously. The rescue operation failed. The robbers said that there were hundreds of such powerful bombs in the entire manor.
Bomb, threatening the police to press the start button immediately if they take action again."
0:08 a.m.:
"We have received the latest news. The police sent negotiators to communicate with the robbers. The robbers have changed their minds and demanded 200 million US dollars in cash and a helicopter. The police are in the process of further communication and coordination. We look forward to the best results."
After seeing the latest news, the comments on the Internet suddenly became lively.
"Twenty million U.S. dollars, so much money, such a high amount. Isn't this the most expensive ransom in this century?"
"The robber asked for money, and suddenly I felt that he was stupid. There was no way he could take the money. As long as he let the hostage go, he would be dead."
"Does this robber know how much 200 million in cash is? It weighs two tons. Normal helicopters can't transport it at all. Besides, even if he is given a transport plane, can he escape from the United States? There will be swarms of planes following him.
.”
"It is impossible for the government to provide a ransom of US$200 million, even if Turner is a Chicago city councilman."
"I hope he succeeds, hahahaha."
...
Despite all the rhetoric online, the police chief began contacting Chicago bank board members to ask if they were willing to provide a $200 million ransom.
"NO, it's impossible. We can't pay this money, even if there is a high probability that it will be recovered. We won't take this risk."
"Unless Johnathan is willing to guarantee it himself."
Financiers always only see profits and no favors, let alone an amount as large as US$200 million.
"Let John Turner vouch for himself, okay, I'll try to contact Congressman Turner," the director said.
The phone in Turner Manor rang again. Lin Yi picked it up and answered it. A slightly hoarse and rough male voice came from inside, "Mr. Lin, this is David, the chief of the Chicago Police Department. The ransom amount you want is too high. There is nothing we can do."
To prepare, we contacted the Bank of Chicago. John Turner has shares in the Bank of Chicago and asked them if they were willing to pay the ransom. They said it must be guaranteed by John Turner himself, so I hope you will tell John Turner about this. Look.
What does he have in mind?"
Lin Yi told John Turner the content of the phone call. John Turner was an old fox and he immediately saw the problem.
He is a financier himself,
He knows very well how dark the hearts of financiers are.
Oh shit,
I'm afraid those guys not only want me to guarantee it myself, but there may also be people who are trying to carve up my bank shares and assets.
But the problem now is that if he doesn't guarantee himself, his life may not be saved.
Two hundred million dollars,
If the robbers really took the money, the Turner family would be destitute. Even if it was recovered, they would probably lose tens of millions of dollars.
Money is not that easy to borrow.
But when he saw Lin Yi's cold eyes, John Turner knew he had no choice, "I agree."
The police chief relayed the message to the Chicago bank.
The Bank of Chicago held a board meeting overnight to finalize how to guarantee the loan and asked its staff to prepare a mortgage contract.
What happened next was a scene that shocked all Americans.
4:30 in the morning.
After communication, a bank lawyer walked into the Turner estate with the contract documents, and John Turner signed the mortgage documents.
He used all his shares in the Bank of Chicago, his own investment company, and his family's land estate as collateral to borrow $200 million as a ransom. Because he was a shareholder, the interest rate was given at a very favorable price, only 3.15.
John Turner finally gritted his teeth and signed.
The bank lawyer left with the contract and promised to deliver the cash before noon today.
This matter was soon known by major television stations. In fact, the Bank of Chicago did not deliberately conceal it, because they wanted to create the fact that John Turner voluntarily signed the contract while sober.
What they were doing was actually helping John Turner. Even if John Turner was rescued and went back on his word in the future, he would not be able to win the lawsuit.
A legal procedure is legal.
People on the Internet are arguing again.
"I once again saw the greedy side of capitalists. They will never forget their own interests no matter what the circumstances."
"Yes, there is a famous saying that greed for money can make them do any incredible thing."
"I don't care who provides the money, I just want to see how the robbers get away with the two hundred million dollars. I'm looking forward to it."
"Looking forward to +1."
"Looking forward to +2."
In the end, these guys actually started playing Solitaire. If John Turner saw it, he might be furious on the spot.
...
In the command vehicle outside Turner Manor, a group of people were studying the plan.
"Don't take any action when the money is delivered to the manor, otherwise you won't be able to save the hostages and may turn the banknotes into ashes."
"Our idea is to delay the provision of helicopters, and in the meantime negotiate with the robber to ask him to hand over at least one person, and let him fly away. The robbers cannot completely listen to us, so the next step in the rescue will depend on the situation."
They are studying Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was also thinking about them.
The police knew that Lin Yi could not escape in a helicopter, and Lin Yi naturally knew it too.
So he had already made two plans,
The first is to run away for a certain distance and then be caught, and then find an opportunity to escape. He has many weapons in the space now, and it is a hundred times easier to kill the police and escape than before.
The second is to leave through the sewer.
He had memorized all the underground pipeline maps in Chicago before, just to prepare for this moment.
Looking at the picture on the surveillance notebook, I occasionally zoomed in to take a closer look. There were more than a dozen manhole covers in the entire manor, some close and some far away. The nearest one was a manhole under the eaves in the backyard, and the further one was about 20 or 30 years old.
meters away.
...
Its daybreak.
It's another new day.
Despite their exhaustion, many people still stared at the kidnapping at Turner Manor.
Although only 10 hours had passed since the entire kidnapping, people felt it was so long, almost like a century had passed.
The TV reporter stood in front of the camera and continued to report on the progress of the kidnapping. The US$200 million demanded by the robbers was already being prepared. The bank promised to deliver the cash before 12 o'clock. The reporters speculated what the robbers would do next.
What will the police do?
Chicago banks are very trustworthy. Two deposit cars arrived at the entrance of Turner Manor. Reporters from several TV stations and dozens of other media all focused on the deposit cars and took pictures. Everyone knew that there should be something in these two cars.
Two hundred million dollars.
Two hundred million dollars.
What an insane amount of wealth.
But everyone knew that the kidnapper couldn't take away the money at all.
The money is coming,
The police called Lin Yi again and asked him what to do with the money and whether he wanted to send it in.
"Of course, I'll send someone to the villa."
"But cars come in one by one, and only two bank staff can come in at a time. If there is anything wrong, I will press the bomb."
"Don't worry, we will never take any other action." The police chief assured, their plan is to take action after exchanging a person.
A money transport vehicle drove into the manor and parked upside down at the gate of the villa. The door opened, revealing the bulging money bags inside. The door opened, but the two escorts did not dare to go in. They threw the money bags into the door one by one.
The first car left, the second car did the same thing, threw all the money in and left.
There was a TV station helicopter in the sky that completely captured this scene. The TV viewers watching the live broadcast felt envious in their hearts. Two hundred million U.S. dollars. They had never seen so much cash in their lives, let alone touched it.
Bang,
The door is closed.
On the floor of the hall, there was a pile of money bags piled up like a hill.
Lin Yi opened his wallet and took out a few wads of banknotes. They were all green hundred-yuan bills, exuding the smell of ink.
Lin Yi opened the two money bags, poured the money on the ground, and put the money bags over the heads of Turner and his son with his backhand.
Woo woo woo.
Having their heads and faces covered made the two of them frightened, but they only yelled a few times and obeyed.
Lin Yi's idea was very simple, not to let them see him using the system to collect money. In fact, their lives were already destined to die, but Lin Yi still didn't want them to see any of his secrets.
Picking up the money on the ground and looking at it again, Lin Yi discovered one thing. These money were all new banknotes. They were really real, but they were all serialized.
Lin Yi quickly had a thought.
The banks are playing tricks.
The numbers of these banknotes must have been entered into the bank system. As soon as the money appears in the future, the police will be called immediately. If Lin Yi really takes the money, it will be difficult to use it on a large scale.
But Lin Yi smiled softly.
This may be a problem for others, but it has nothing to do with yourself.
absorb,
"Brush~~"
The bundle of banknotes disappeared from his hand.
Continue to absorb.
One bag, two bags, three bags....
It turns out that having too much money is so dull and boring.
Later, Lin Yi felt tired, so he directly put the money into the space, and then absorbed it from the space. Suddenly, he found that this method was more convenient and faster than absorbing it with his hands.
good,
I found another convenient method.
finally,
All the money on the ground was absorbed, but Lin Yi cursed angrily, the damn Bank of Chicago is really not a thing, and it actually cheated. The money is not enough for 200 million.
The system wallet will not deceive people. You will convert as much as you receive. Once you subtract the two numbers before and after, you will know how much you have collected this time.
Oh shit,
Several hundred are missing.
I don’t know if it was hacked by someone.
At this time, the funds in Lin Yi's system wallet have exceeded 200 million, reaching 233 million.
Just as he finished, the system popped up a prompt: "The funds have reached more than 200 million US dollars, and new products have been added to the system mall."
