Grandpa Qin scowled and stared at his assistant sullenly. The latter was scared by his cold stare and hurriedly said, “I’ll go visit the police chief myself. Master, please wait for a while.”

Grandpa Qin grunted in response, slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. He then put his palms on his crutch and closed his eyes to take a rest, releasing an unapproachable aura.

The assistant went up to the floor where the police chief’s office was. The secretary saw him come up again, frowned and said unhappily, “Why have you come again? I’ve told you already, our police chief is upright and impartial and won’t take your bribe! So don’t disturb our work, or else I’ll have you arrested!”

The assistant thought the secretary wanted more money, so he hurriedly took out a cheque with the face value of fifty thousand Euros, put the cheque into the secretary’s hand and said in a lowered voice, “Sir, do me a favor and let me talk to the police chief. It won’t take him much time…”

The secretary took a look at the cheque and swallowed his saliva greedily. He hesitated for quite a while before he forced himself to look away. The assistant noticed his struggle, pushed the cheque closer towards him and said again, “This is just earnest money. If we get what we want, we’ll pay another fifty thousand Euros.”

The secretary widened his eyes and looked at the assistant in surprise. Who the heck was the woman they were trying to save? These guys were willing to pay so much money to save her?!

The secretary glued his gaze to the cheque. In the end he sighed and said, “I can pass on the message to our chief, but I’m not sure whether he will see you or not. Don’t give the money to me now. Let’s see whether our chief agrees to see you.” He took a look at the cheque again… and reluctantly pushed the cheque on the table back.

The assistant took a look at the secretary in surprise who curled his lips and said, “Wait here.”

Then he walked into the police chief’s office. It had only been a minute that the police chief’s impatient growl was heard. He spoke in French, so the assistant didn’t know what he said, but when he saw the secretary walk out of the office crestfallen, he knew he failed…

Scolded by the police chief, the secretary stared at the assistant angrily. He said crossly to the assistant with a dark face, “I advise you to give up. Unless you can persuade our chief’s superiors, he won’t change his mind. Money? Our chief takes it as shit! Now get out!”

The assistant touched his nose and left in embarrassment. When he went back to the first-floor lobby and saw Grandpa Qin who seemed to be taking a nap, he hesitated and dared not go up to him. Grandpa Qin seemed to feel his gaze. He opened his eyes and looked at his assistant who hurriedly told him what had happened just now. Grandpa Qin’s face darkened, He stood up and said coldly, “Let’s go to the embassy.”

The assistant nodded and hurriedly followed him out.

In a cafe not far away from the police station, Little Five took out his cell phone and called Qiao Liang. “Young Master, they’ve left. Are we going to the embassy?”

Qiao Liang who was drinking coffee with the ambassador gently put down the coffee cup and said, “I’m already in the embassy.”

Little Five asked, “Then shall I follow them?”

“No.” Qiao Liang hung up the call, looked at the ambassador and smiled. “Ambassador Gao, it’s the first time I meet you since you left China five years ago.”

“Yes, Mr. Qiao, I still remember it was in a state banquet when we met last time. You provided our country two fighter jets that Long Xiao Group had newly developed. Although there were many senior military officials in that state banquet, you were the star of that banquet. I talked to you as I was introduced to you by General Wang. I didn’t expect you to still remember me and specially come to visit me. I’m really flattered.” A genteel middle-aged man put down the cup of tea and said all smiles to Qiao Liang who was sitting opposite to him.

“Ambassador Gao, I’m flattered too. If I were as excellent as you, I wouldn’t stay in the business circle. Unfortunately, I’m not excellent enough to work in the government.” He said with a smile, “And it’s my honor to serve my country. I’m glad the army likes our products.”

“Mr. Qiao, you’re too modest.” Ambassador Gao shook his head with a smile, “If I were as able as you when I was young, I would have chosen the same path as you.”

Qiao Liang smiled, took out a box and handed it to Ambassador Gao, saying with a smile, “I heard that you have been looking for a medicinal herb for your wife. This herb is very rare and you haven’t been able to find one. I happened to get one of these kinds of medicinal herbs from my friends, so I have brought it to you.”

Ambassador Gao who looked relaxed and casual suddenly straightened up. He loved his wife very much and even brought his wife with him when he was accredited to Paris, but three years ago, his wife was found to have cancer. She tried operations, chemotherapies and all other means, but her condition was still worsening. They heard that a kind of medicinal herbs could prevent the progression of her disease, but it only grew in the depth of the desert. He tried every possible way to search for the herb, but still couldn’t get one.

He didn’t expect Mr. Qiao had one of those kinds of medicinal herbs and brought it to him!

Ambassador Gao looked at Qiao Liang in astonishment. “Mr. Qiao, how can I take such a precious gift from you?”

Qiao Liang smiled. “No, it’s not precious compared with the favor I want to ask you to do me, Ambassador Gao.”

Ambassador Gao looked away from the medicinal herb and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He turned his eyes to Qiao Liang and frowned. “What can I do for you, Mr. Qiao?”

Qiao Liang looked at Ambassador Gao who was obviously nervous and he raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Ambassador Gao, you don’t have to be nervous. It’s just a small favor. My friend was assaulted last night. Now the criminal is locked up in the police station, but she is the granddaughter of your old friend Qin Yue. Perhaps he will come over soon to ask you to pressure the police to transfer the case to Chinese police. You know, I don’t like trouble. If this case is transferred, it will be lodged to the court in one or two years. Then if the criminal is bailed, she actually doesn’t receive any punishment at all. I hope Ambassador Gao will stay out of this matter.”
