383. Sorry, the final interpretation of the law rests with me.
After Wang Jianguo finished speaking, he casually handed the black card to the steward beside him. However, the steward did not reach out to take it, instead saying with a respectful expression, "Eldest Master, there is actually no need to check, because they cannot afford to pay."
Can't afford to pay?
These words sounded particularly ironic to the Female Military Officer. The thing their Hepburn Family lacked least was money. You're saying I can't afford to pay?
Who are you looking down on? Name a figure. I won't give a single cent. Just kidding—with a gun pointed at my head, why should I pay?
"Arrogant! It seems you still don't know my identity. Let me introduce myself, I am..."
"Stop, stop, stop. No need for introductions. We know you're from the Hepburn Family. Steward, since you said that, you must know how much money is in this card, right? Tell her."
Wang Jianguo didn't give the other party a chance to finish, directly raising his hand to interrupt.
"Yes, Eldest Master. Only the Young Master might know the exact amount, but there is definitely no less than fifty billion us dollars inside."
Hearing the steward's words, Wang Jianguo was completely dumbfounded. His hand holding the black card trembled, nearly failing to hold onto the card that weighed less than ten grams.
Wang Jianjun, who was beside him, was even more stunned. He seriously doubted he was having auditory hallucinations.
Fifty billion us dollars? What kind of concept was that? The cost to build an aircraft carrier was only a few billion us dollars.
In other words, this card was worth ten aircraft carriers? Hiss—that nephew of his was truly something!
He was rich, and he really dared to give it away!
Not just them, even Carrot Head and the others couldn't help but gasp when they heard this amount.
Naturally, the Female Military Officer wouldn't believe it. Fifty billion us dollars—forget some militants who appeared out of nowhere, even her Hepburn Family couldn't produce that much cash.
"Impossible! Do you know what fifty billion us dollars means? You really dare to say anything. Miss, don't listen to their nonsense. This is Cambodia. Just order their capture. I don't believe they'd dare to risk everything."
Hearing Brother Bao's words, the Female Military Officer nodded silently and said, "I'll ask one more time, will you release the people or not?"
Seeing that Wang Jianguo and the others didn't respond, she was truly angry. In this place, no one had ever dared to ignore her words. These guys had embarrassed her repeatedly and even dared to extort her; they simply didn't respect her at all.
"Very well. I don't have the habit of repeating myself three times. Men..."
Just as she was about to order the capture of Wang Jianguo and the others, a Sergeant ran forward with an anxious look.
"Officer, a call from the Commander."
Hearing this, the Female Military Officer's brows furrowed slightly. For the higher-ups to look for her at this time, could it be because of the matter at hand?
Thinking this, she looked up at Wang Jianguo and the others, then reached out to take the phone.
"Commander, this is Helena. May I ask what instructions you have for your subordinate?"
As soon as she finished speaking, while she was still confused, a furious voice came from the other end of the phone in the next second. "Who gave you permission to take men out of the barracks without authorization? There hasn't been a conflict, has there? Have your men stand their ground and don't move. I'm coming immediately."
Now it was her turn to be as still as a wooden chicken. At this moment, her mind was full of question marks, clearly not knowing why the person on the other end of the phone was throwing such a large tantrum.
Could it be...
After thinking for a moment, she suddenly looked up at Wang Jianguo, thinking: It couldn't be because of him, right?
Who on earth are these people?
Seeing the shocked expression on the other person's face, Wang Jianguo had never been as confused as he was tonight. What he had seen and heard today had far exceeded his understanding.
A card his son had casually given him actually contained fifty billion us dollars.
Now, there seemed to be a tacit relationship with the Cambodian military. Was this still the son he knew?
In such a short time, not only had he developed the Heavenly Palace Group to its current scale, but he had even prepared such sufficient backup plans.
In that case, wouldn't it make him, as a father, seem very useless? No, he had to do something else.
Right, have Carrot Head train people. He wanted to expand his influence globally. When that time came, he would surely be able to give his son a big surprise.
Yes, that's what he'd do!
Once this matter was over, he would have Carrot Head draw up a perfect plan on how to speed up the process.
No matter how powerful his son was, he was probably only laying out plans in neighboring countries. He wanted to quickly let Carrot Head and the others develop, then lend his son a hand.
At that time, he could say, "Your old man is still your old man." But reality might not go as he wished.
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became eerie. Neither side made any move. Even Brother Bao sensed something was wrong.
A bad premonition even suddenly cropped up in his heart. Was he really going to die here tonight?
Impossible. Behind him was the Hepburn Family, the peak of power and wealth in Cambodia. In this neck of the woods, who would dare to offend them?
He must be overthinking. Yes, he must be!
These people were just mercenaries. How could they have such great influence?
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
The scene was silent. Everyone began to stare at each other. Aside from Helena, no one knew what the situation was.
Even Wang Jianguo was no exception, but given the steward's previous phone call, it wasn't hard for him to guess what kind of call the Female Military Officer opposite him had just received.
"Boss, what is the other side trying to do? They aren't calling for backup, are they? How shameless. Calling for support before the fight even starts. Should we strike first to gain the upper hand?"
Seeing the wrong atmosphere, Carrot Head slowly leaned toward Wang Jianguo and whispered.
Hearing this, Wang Jianguo was also a bit uncertain because there were many things he didn't know. Helplessly, he could only turn his gaze to the steward behind him.
"Don't worry, Eldest Master. She doesn't dare to fire at us. As long as the other side dares to fire, I think many people will die tonight because of this matter, and the family behind her will also be exterminated because of it."
"Then what does she mean by this?"
"Waiting for someone. They're here!"
As soon as the steward said this, the roar of helicopter rotors suddenly came from the sky not far away.
Seeing this, everyone looked up toward the distance. They saw three attack helicopters heading their way.
Seeing this scene, everyone's mood was different. Carrot Head's heart sank, and his expression became incredibly solemn.
To the point that his hand holding his weapon began to sweat. attack helicopters had even been deployed. If the people above were enemies, that would be terrible. Even if the Six-Winged Angel Mercenary Group was battle-hardened, they would have no way to deal with them.
A moment later, the three attack helicopters slowly landed in the open space in their midst. A middle-aged man wearing a Lieutenant General's uniform jumped off the aircraft.
With a somber expression, he glanced at Helena, then turned and walked quickly toward Wang Jianguo. He reached out and smiled with a hint of respect, "Hello. You must be the father of the Lord of Tiangong. I have long heard of your great name. I am truly sorry. My subordinates have startled you. Don't worry, I guarantee I will give you a satisfactory explanation."
Looking at the military rank on the other man's shoulder, Wang Jianguo's brain suddenly stalled. A Lieutenant General?
No, son, what else are you hiding from your old man? I can't take this.
This time it's a Lieutenant General; will it be The Chief next time?
Moreover, the other man's attitude toward him made him feel somewhat overwhelmed by the favor.
Looking at the hand stopped in mid-air, he quickly reached out to shake it. "General, those words are too heavy. We haven't suffered any losses. Resorting to force here was truly a move of last resort."
"I understand, I understand. You don't need to explain. No matter what you do here, it is legal and compliant. There is nothing inappropriate. I have also heard about the matter between you and the Casino."
"Don't worry. Since they owe you money, I guarantee I will make them pay it back. After all, this is a society ruled by law. It is only natural to pay back what one owes."
The Lieutenant General's words left Wang Jianguo momentarily unsure of what to say. Could this be the so-called "final power of interpretation of the law lies with me"?
