Chapter: 2675
Seeing Hamid’s upset face, Charlie Wade couldn’t help but smile. “Since Commander Hamid has spoken, I’ll agree to those three words later.”
Hamid nodded and gave Charlie a fist bump. Then he pointed at the eight people across from them and said, “Brother, just choose!”
Worried that Charlie might hesitate, Hamid quickly added, “How about this? You can pick five instead!”
The hope for the seven people who remained skyrocketed in an instant!
Charlie looked at Hamid, smiled, and said, “Commander Hamid, you are truly interesting. This shows you are a person of integrity.”
Hamid nodded seriously, “I am very trustworthy. Whether in business or leading troops, I always keep my promises. If you say five, I will stick to that!”
Charlie waved his hand, “I also value ethics. I believe in mutual respect. So, among these eight, I only need Miss He. The rest are yours.”
The seven people left behind started to cry.
A young man of Chinese descent exclaimed, “Mr. Ye, we are all compatriots. Please don’t do this to me!”
The Indians and other young people joined in, begging for mercy and pleading desperately.
He Zhiqiu couldn’t bear to watch and said, “Mr. Ye… they really don’t know what they’re getting into. Please don’t hold it against them. If you can, try to save as many as you can…”
“It’s better to take them all together…”
Charlie Wade said casually, “He Zhiqiu, you can’t handle things this way. I’m here to help you because I respect your father. You asked me to save them, but who are you trying to impress?”
He Zhiqiu felt ashamed and embarrassed. However, for the safety of his friend, he took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Ye, please do this for me! I know it sounds sudden and unreasonable, but I’m asking you to help them for my sake…”
Charlie shook his head and firmly declined. “I can’t do that. From the beginning, these American friends haven’t respected me. I don’t admire foreigners; it doesn’t matter if they are American or Martian. If they don’t show me respect, I won’t show them any.”
He then turned to Hamid, pointed at He Zhiqiu, and added seriously, “I will only take her.”
Hamid laughed and said, “Interesting! If that’s the case, I won’t waste time. I will tell my men that you two can leave without anyone stopping you!”
Hamid stepped aside, gesturing towards the door. “Brother, please!”
Charlie replied, “No, I can’t take that risk. This is your territory, so I need to be careful. Arrange for a helicopter to park in the yard. It must not carry any weapons, and everyone else needs to leave. You should accompany us until my ride arrives. Then I’ll let you go. How does that sound?”
Hamid looked uneasy. “What if you change your mind when you get there? What if you try to kidnap me? The government is offering a million-dollar reward for my head.”
“Will Caiyi be upset with you?”
Charlie Wade smiled, looking a bit helpless. He pointed to his face and said, “You think Charlie Wade is worried about seeing Caiyi? I’m on a Concorde jet worth millions, flying from Huaxia to a place where no one even visits. Do you really think I care about a multi-million dollar reward on my head?”
Hamid’s eyes widened as he swallowed hard. “Concorde?! Brother, are you from the Ye family in Huaxia?!”
Charlie looked curious. “What? You’ve heard of the Ye family, Commander Hamid?”
Hamid nodded eagerly. “Of course! I studied at university in Yanjing, and I’ve heard a lot about the Ye and Su families. They’re both top families in China.”
Then he added, “Brother, am I right?”
