The director sat behind his desk, one hand on his belt to make sure he could pull out the pistol at the first possible moment.

Of course, the bureau chief didn't think that Xu Taiping would do anything to him. Now that the military coup had begun, it wouldn't be long before Alenk was taken by the prime minister, and the country would be replaced, and he would become the head of the police department. If Xu Taiping dared to do anything to him, there would be only death waiting for him.

Xu Taiping pulled over a chair and sat opposite the director.

Rini stood at the side, not daring to sit. He was covered in sweat, he really couldn't find a reason why Xu Taiping was so relaxed. Was he going to ask the bureau chief for him so directly?

As it turned out, Rini was right.

"I came to ask for someone." Xu Taiping said.

"Oh?" The director raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who do you want?"

"Luo Juan!"

With a "pa da" sound, the bureau chief pulled out the gun at his waist, pointed it at Xu Taiping, and opened his mouth to call his men in.

"I will spend money to redeem it!" Xu Taiping said.

Xu Taiping's words silenced the bureau chief's gaping mouth.

"Spending money?" The bureau chief held the gun in his hand, looking at Xu Taiping as he asked with a playful expression, "How much can you pay me?"

"How much are you willing to pay?" Xu Taiping asked.

"As you know, Luo Juan is suspected of divulging State secrets. This is a very serious crime." the director said.

"Don't even mention these useless things. In this world, everything has a price. I don't care what kind of national secrets Luo Juan has leaked, all I want to know is how much money I will give you. Xu Taiping asked.

"Luo Juan, who are you to be willing to spend money for her? Furthermore, Luo Juan is not even from China. Ah, I understand now, is this Luo Juan your spy? " the director asked.

"Chief, it's not that I'm talking, but you really spout a lot of nonsense." Xu Taiping said.

Xu Taiping's words made cold sweat break out all over his body. As someone who came to ask for help, you actually dare to say so much nonsense. Do you not want to live anymore?

To his surprise, the bureau chief did not fly into a rage. He smiled lightly, then spread out his fingers in front of Xu Taiping, saying, "5 million dollars. If you can transfer it to my overseas bank account, I'll let Luo Juan go."

"Sure!" Xu Taiping nodded without any hesitation, "Chief, give me a phone, I'm talking about a phone that can be used to make calls. Now, all of Alenk's calls are cut off, right?"

"It seems like you are not an ordinary person. You even know this." As the bureau chief said this, he took out a satellite phone from a drawer and passed it to Xu Taiping, "My account is XXX, tell your people to send me the money, pay it with one hand and give it to others with the other."

"Alright!" Xu Taiping nodded, took the satellite phone from the director and called Chen Cha.

For the current Xu Taiping, the only person he dared to contact was Chen Chuan. As for the others, Xu Taiping didn't dare to contact them because he didn't want to reveal himself.

Xu Taiping quickly made a call to Chen Cha. Soon after, Xu Taiping told Chen Cha to make 5 million dollars to the account given by the bureau chief.

On the other end of the phone, Chenqiang didn't ask anything and just followed Xu Taiping's orders.

Xu Taiping returned the satellite phone to the bureau chief and said, "We should be able to get it soon."

"I'll wait." The director grinned.

He did not think that a person like Xu Taiping who had lost his memory would be able to come up with five million dollars. He felt that Xu Taiping was currently playing with fire, and he estimated that Xu Taiping was trying to buy time.

At this moment, the bureau chief's cell phone suddenly rang.

The bureau chief picked up the phone and glanced at it before laughing, "Five million is really in the account. Haha, let's go. I'll bring you to Luo Juan!"

With that, the director put away his gun and walked out of the office.

Xu Taiping stood up and followed the director out.

Rini looked at the director and Xu Taiping in shock.

Could it be that this Xu Liu really gave the bureau chief five million dollars?

Five million dollars! That was a huge sum of money. For a backward country like Siniya, five million dollars was equivalent to the annual output value of a city!

To earn five million dollars would take at least a hundred years. I didn't expect that Xu Liu would give it to me so easily. How much money would he have left?

The bureau chief brought Xu Taiping to the interrogation room where Luo Juan was being held, opened the door, and said, "I had some interrogation done on Luo Juan due to routine reasons. I hope you don't mind."

"I understand!" Xu Taiping nodded, then walked into the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, Luo Juan was leaning against the iron fence.

Hearing the movement at the door, Luo Juan raised her head to look at the door. When she saw it, she was stunned.

"Why are you guys here?!" Luo Juan asked in surprise.

"We're here to save you." Xu Taiping walked over to Luo Juan as he spoke.

"Director, can you open the handcuffs now?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Since your relationship is so good, and you're willing to spend five million to save her, you can all stay here." The bureau chief said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Xu Taiping frowned and asked.

"Do you think five million will let a person who has leaked the secret of the country leave? You are too naive, Chinese. " As he spoke, the bureau chief sneered and directly closed the door, locking it from the outside.

"You've been cheated!" Rini said excitedly.

The corner of Xu Taiping's mouth curled up into a cold smile, "A man's greed makes him lose his mind. Since he could easily exchange Luo Juan for five million, he naturally wants more. I already know that."

"Then why did you return the money to him? Are you stupid!?" Rini asked.

"At least for now, we know that Luo Juan is here. At the same time, the three of us are also together. This is good news." Xu Taiping said.

"So what if the three of us are together? "This is the police station, there are police officers outside. Can we fly away from here?" Rini asked.

"No need to fly away, just give me some time." Xu Taiping said. In his opinion, as long as he had two to three days, it would be easy for him to get out of the police station when he was fully recovered.

The reason he came to the police station in such a hurry and even gave the bureau chief five million was to make sure that Luo Juan was in the police station and that he was close to her. As long as he could get to her side, he was confident that he could save her life.

As long as the director decided that he was a chicken that could lay golden eggs, then he and Luo Juan and Rini would be safe.

"Chinese, I'll give you a choice. Continue sending 20 million dollars into my account, and I'll let you guys go, or else, you can stay in the interrogation room for now, you don't have much time, after the military coup ends, I'll hand you guys over to me. When that time comes, you can prepare to stay in the prison for the rest of your lives." The director said.

"Director, as a national staff member, keeping your promises is the most basic. I didn't expect you to be such a person." Xu Taiping said.

"If I kept my promise, I wouldn't have joined my leader in the coup, right?" The bureau chief said with a smile.

"I don't have that much money. I need time to raise it." Xu Taiping said.

"Time?" "Sorry, you don't have much time." the director said.

"Give me at least three days!" Xu Taiping said, "Give me three days, I'll call my friends and ask them to raise some money. To show my sincerity, once they draw a sum of money, I'll have them call you. 20 million, divided into batches. Director, as long as you promise, we can leave here in three days."

"Ha ha-ha ha, that's fine. I'll give you three days!" "You can stay in this interrogation room for three days. In three days, if twenty million dollars arrives in advance, I'll let you go."

"Bureau chief, this is the last time. I hope that you can keep your promise, otherwise, my friends will definitely avenge me. You have to believe that if they can save me with tens of millions of dollars, they can also buy your life with tens of millions of dollars." Xu Taiping said.

The director outside the door seemed intimidated and didn't speak for a long time.

"Bureau Chief, is that alright?" Xu Taiping asked.

"As you wish." "If the twenty million comes in, I'll let the three of you go, I promise."

"Ok, Chief, Director. Let me give you a friendly reminder, it's best if you keep the news of the three of us being captured by you confidential. Otherwise, if other people find out that the three of us can be exchanged for tens of millions of dollars, then someone might come and snatch us away from you. You are the police chief, and you have subordinates, but to those generals, your subordinates don't seem to be enough." Xu Taiping said.

"You are all my treasures. I won't let anyone else take you away. You can rest easy. I'll get someone to bring you food later. At the same time, you have to call your friend and ask him to pay me in my account. "I only want money, not your lives. So, as long as you guys obediently give me money, I can give you guys something to eat and drink." the director said.

"Alright!" Xu Taiping said, "Just give me a call!"

"Sure, we'll talk about it later!" The director turned and walked away.

Because of Luo Juan's relationship, the military coup had been brought forward to noon. Although they were powerful, because the government troops were still in the middle of their daily activities, the rebel army was met with a very tenacious resistance. Both sides entered into a street battle, and the entire city became a battlefield.
