Chapter 1270

.

It was 66: 59 a.m. on the 4th of January.

When Shi Lei and the invisible fifth giant of the Angel Council, Michael, were in a deadlock, the Rong Cheng Military Region suddenly called. Shi Lei had mixed feelings as he connected the call to the LIP lens information processor. It was a call from the Rongcheng Military District.

"Shi Lei, did you capture an American by the name of Geller Lucas?" He Zhenbang's voice was heard. His tone was filled with anxiety.

Shi Lei sighed in his heart. "So it's really for Geller Lucas? Hmph! Is the Angel Council really so powerful that they can get in touch with the Rongcheng Military District? "

"Yes, Commander He. What's the matter?" Shi Lei remained polite.

He Zhenbang's tone changed, carrying a tough command as he said, "Shi Lei, you can't touch this person! Release Geller Lucas and his companions immediately. "

Shi Lei's face darkened. He looked at He Zhenbang and didn't immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "Commander He, do you know who Geller Lucas is?"

He Zhenbang said angrily, "I don't care who he is! I just want you to release him immediately and ensure his safety! "

Shi Lei's face changed. Rongcheng Military District was indeed the closest partner of Mirui Technology Group. However, Shi Lei also had a backup plan.

As long as Shi Lei wanted to, he could control the Steel Drone, Land Combat System, and even The First Light that Mirui Technology Group gave to Rongcheng Military District.

Even if he had a falling out with Rongcheng Military District, Shi Lei still had the power to fight back. However, Mirui Technology Group had started to take root in Shuangqing City. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Shi Lei didn't want to fall out with Rongcheng Military District.

Shi Lei took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Commander He, may I ask why you are so determined to protect Geller Lucas?"

He Zhenbang said angrily and helplessly, "That bastard kidnapped my daughter! If he dies, my daughter will be buried with him. Do you think I should protect him or not? Shi Lei, please don't tell me you've already killed Geller Lucas! "

"What? No, of course not. " Shi Lei's expression was very interesting. There was disbelief, nervousness, and indescribable anger.

Shi Lei had already guessed that He Zhenbang's daughter was He Wanqiu. Although Shi Lei and He Wanqiu didn't get along well on the surface, Shi Lei didn't hate He Wanqiu at all.

Now that he heard that He Wanqiu had been captured by the Angel Council, Shi Lei knew very well what the Angel Council was capable of. If He Wanqiu fell into their hands, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Shi Lei, I just received a call from an unknown number. They dialed the emergency line directly. They said they had captured my daughter, and I heard Xiao Qiu's voice. The other party specifically told me to call you immediately and ask you to release Geller Lucas. " He Zhenbang explained in detail. Then he asked, "Shi Lei, who is this Geller Lucas?"

Shi Lei was silent for a moment. Then he said, "Geller Lucas is an enemy of the Mirage Technology Group. His faction is an enemy of the Mirage Technology Group. This time, Geller Lucas brought four people to infiltrate Shuangqing City. They brought five pistols with silencers and disguised as ordinary players. They surrounded the Emerald Building. Commander He, I think you know what their goal is, right? "

"I know!" He Zhenbang's voice was bitter. After a moment of silence, he said, "Shi Lei, release Geller Lucas, and I'll owe you a favor. As long as you don't betray the country, I'll help you settle everything! "

He Zhenbang's promise was very important!

Other than betraying the country, He Zhenbang would settle everything for Shi Lei! This meant that even if Shi Lei killed someone on the street, He Zhenbang would mobilize all his resources to help Shi Lei settle everything.

Shi Lei smiled bitterly. "Commander He, Wanqiu and I are friends. If you insist, I'll release Geller Lucas and guarantee his safety. But Commander He, have you thought about this? Even if we release him, how can we guarantee Wanqiu's safety? "

He Zhenbang was the actual ruler of Rongcheng Military District. How could he not understand this fact?

However, if he didn't release Geller Lucas, He Wanqiu would definitely die. If he released Geller Lucas, there was still a one in ten thousand chance that he would keep his promise and let He Wanqiu go.

"Shi Lei, we have no other choice!" He Zhenbang replied dispiritedly. When he knew that He Wanqiu was kidnapped, He Zhenbang was more anxious than anyone else.

Shi Lei lowered his head and thought. He glanced at the smiling Michael and his eyes flashed with killing intent. "No! Commander He, we choose to exchange hostages! "

"What do you mean?" He Zhenbang didn't understand. He Zhenbang didn't know the details. He didn't know how important Michael was to the Angel Council.

Shi Lei gave a rough explanation. "Commander He, Geller Lucas is a core member of the enemy. For our enemy, Geller Lucas is very important. We can't hand him over voluntarily. Instead, we have to use him to exchange hostages with our enemy. This is the only way to get Wanqiu back safely. "

Michael listened to the conversation between Shi Lei and He Zhenbang. His expression changed. Shi Lei saw all of this and kept it in his heart.

"But …" He Zhenbang still wanted to say something, but Shi Lei interrupted He Zhenbang.

"Commander He, please believe me! If you want to save Wanqiu, this is the only way! " Shi Lei said firmly. Shi Lei knew how the Angel Council worked. If they wanted to save He Wanqiu, this was the only way.

If Geller Lucas was released ahead of time, He Wanqiu's fate could only be death. There was no other possibility.

He Zhenbang was hesitant. After all, He Wanqiu was his daughter. He Zhenbang didn't dare to take a gamble when it involved He Wanqiu's life.

Shi Lei understood He Zhenbang's worries. He sighed. "Commander He, I'll give you evidence. Keep the line open. I'll prove it to you right away!"

He Zhenbang sighed in relief. "Okay!" He Zhenbang couldn't make a decision for the time being. If Shi Lei had enough evidence, He Zhenbang would be able to make up his mind.

Shi Lei kept the line open with He Zhenbang. He looked at Michael and said expressionlessly, "Lucas, is this your trump card?"

Geller Lucas was the disguised identity of the Angel Council's fifth invisible giant. Shi Lei didn't call him Michael, so he naturally wouldn't call Shi Lei Mr. M. Both sides were very restrained. They didn't involve any official forces.

Michael laughed heartily. "Shi Lei, I've said it before. In the martial arts world, one has no choice! Do you understand now? "

Shi Lei snorted coldly. He used hand signals to order Izur to inform Li Zifeng of Judgement Security to bring in a mobile phone through the LIP Lens Information Processor. Because the LIP Lens Information Processor was integrated with the SOC mobile phone chip, Shi Lei didn't bring any other mobile phones.

In addition, Shi Lei and He Zhenbang were talking through the LIP Lens Information Processor, so Shi Lei used hand signals to order.

In less than 85 seconds, Li Zifeng came in with a mobile phone and reported, "Boss, this is the company's public number."

Shi Lei pushed the phone in front of Michael and glared at him. "Call your people. We choose a hostage exchange. Don't do anything to hurt He Wanqiu. Otherwise, I'll pay you back in double! "

Michael sneered. "Shi Lei, I'm warning you. If you don't let me go now, I can't guarantee He Wanqiu's life!"

"Is that so? If He Wanqiu dies, I'll definitely send you to the grave with her! "Shi Lei's tone didn't have much emotion.

However, He Zhenbang's voice came from the LIP Lens Information Processor. "Shi Lei, calm down!" Shi Lei didn't reply. Instead, he stared at Michael.

Michael looked at Shi Lei seriously. Then, a smile returned to his face. He said in an evil voice, "Is there no room for discussion?"

"I think I've made it very clear. It's not like I don't know your way of doing things. If I let you go, do you think I don't know what will happen to He Wanqiu? "Shi Lei looked at Michael with contempt.

Michael was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about Shi Lei's proposal.

"Lucas, I'll say it one last time. Contact your people immediately. My choice is that we both have a hostage exchange. If you don't agree, I'd rather give up He Wanqiu and kill you. "Shi Lei's voice was cold.

He Zhenbang immediately protested in the LIP Lens Information Processor. He Zhenbang knew that Shi Lei was just threatening Geller Lucas.

Michael raised his head and looked at Shi Lei. His eyebrows were tightly knitted, and there was no smile on his face. He just coldly grabbed the phone on the stainless steel table and pressed a series of numbers. Then, he chose to put the call on speaker.

After waiting for about 85 seconds, the call was connected. Michael said in fluent Xia Language, "I'm Geller Lucas. The threat has failed. Dream Entertainment has chosen a hostage exchange. I'm now detained by Dream Entertainment. You have to treat the hostage well. "

"Mr. Lucas, are you okay?" English came from the other end of the phone.

Lucas scolded, "Speak Xia Language! The other party is listening to our conversation. I'm not sure if they understand English. I don't want to be killed by you. Do you understand? "

"Yes, yes!" The Xia Language on the other end of the phone was a little stuttering. "Mr. Lucas, we will treat this lady well. May I ask where and when we will make the exchange? "

Since Michael was a hostage, the members of the Angel Council did not say the words' exchange hostages'. They only simplified it as' exchange '.

Michael looked at Shi Lei and asked, "Shi Lei, what are your plans?"

The time and place of the exchange were very important!
