From a diplomatic perspective, a consulate in a region has a transcendent status because the consulate, including the consulate's official residence, belongs to overseas land.

Even in a place where you rent, all laws must follow the country rather than the country where you are located.

However, in terms of social status or official sequence, consuls and military officers in a region belong to the grassroots of diplomats.

Compared with the ambassadors, their level is a much lower level.

The privilege they have is to be under the protection of their own laws, which has also turned almost all embassies and consulates around the world into overseas bases.

Just like military officers, these are the intelligence personnel from various countries on the surface.

They belong to ambassadors or consular supervisors, but they belong to an independent system.

Claire's frustration was due to the failure of the action plan, not Oboyle's reprimand.

He looked up and said, "The Xiangjiang police and Evan Zhao kept saying that there was evidence, and we also believe that they had evidence, otherwise they would not be so rash and direct. It is okay to release people, but the evidence must be brought over..."

If the evidence can be brought over, this plan will fail and cover it up, and there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future.

But if the Xiangjiang police were asked to leak the evidence, they would be doomed.

As a diplomat, he actually kidnapped a girl. Now the police have provided evidence. They are all famous and no one believes them again.

Oboyle nodded and said, "I know, I will do my best to mediate. But have you hurt someone?"

Claire turned to Ballcher and Waden, who said quickly: "We did not use torture. We were going to imprison her in the secret room for one night and interrogate her tomorrow, which would make it easier to defeat her psychological defense."

Oboyle breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that there's no harm, there's still room for maneuver."

Ballcher was embarrassed at this time and said, "But in order to clear the traces, we drove a brand new Mercedes-Benz into the sea..."

Oboyle swallowed his saliva and asked with a little dumbfounded look: "What style of Mercedes-Benz?"

"The high-end W126 has a market price of nearly 100,000 US dollars."

"Bang..." Oboyle slapped the table hard. "Bastard, this is my salary for two years. Your salary for seven or eight years has been lost by you? Where did you ask me to arrange so much budget for you?"

Looking at the three people in front of him who were not good enough to make a mistake, he was very angry. "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not bear the losses this time. You need to reimburse the losses through the intelligence department."

Claire and Ballcher looked at each other, feeling that the sky was about to collapse.

Any government agency, even the intelligence department with the most budget, faces insufficient funds.

Some institutions have a budget of only tens of billions per year, but when they are assigned to one person, they may only be a few thousand dollars.

Interpol is so famous that he is responsible for intelligence sharing in more than 100 countries and regions around the world, with a budget of only tens of millions per year.

If they hadn't been able to get some commissions by helping some organizations to crack down on crime, they would have gone bankrupt long ago.

The CIA is the world's largest intelligence organization, with tens of thousands of overseas employees and an intelligence network all over the world. The budget for the whole year in 1986 is only more than 300 million US dollars.

This money not only requires the salary of so many people, business trips and office expenses, but also includes some informant fees. It only costs more than 10,000 US dollars to each person.

It was not until more than a decade later that the CIA's total budget reached 700 million US dollars.

One hundred thousand US dollars is nothing to a country or an institution, but for one thing, a group, it is a huge sum of money.

There are more than 100 people in the Xiangjiang Consulate, and the annual budget is only about three million US dollars. Only half of the money is salary and the other half is office expenses.

Your consulate does not use electricity? Your car does not refuel? Your people do not need social engagements?

A family also has food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food, food

Oboyle was also struggling to move out a hundred thousand dollars.

For Claire and others, any additional expenses are required to apply for in addition to salary.

Applying for 100,000 US dollars at one time is equivalent to their salary for several years. It is not a fixed investment, so it is difficult to apply for this amount of money.

When Zhao Shanhe came in, except for Oboyle, who greeted him with a smile, the remaining few people were as sad as if their parents had died.

"Mr. Zhao, it's an honor to see you."

Oboyle's opening remark surprised Zhao Shanhe. Except for subordinates to superiors and juniors to elders, few people would use the word honor.

Especially in such formal occasions, every word that is unreasonable means that things themselves are unreasonable.

However, he remained calm and said with an angry expression: "Consul, I don't know what crime my employees have committed, and they will be kidnapped by your consulate staff..."

"It's not kidnapping, it's just that your employee is involved in an international case. We ask her to come back to assist in the investigation. Mr. Zhao, please..."

The consulate’s official residence is very large, and when you enter the door, it is a small hill turning left, and the main building is opposite.

The main building has four floors. The first floor you see when you enter the door is the underground floor. The platform in the courtyard is located on the second floor of the main building.

There are three side-by-side villas on the south side, which are not small in size. On the innermost side is an event center building, and behind the building is a garden and a sports field.

Zhao Shanhe shook hands with Oboyle in response and looked around. "Since it's not a kidnapping, where is my man?"

Oboyle winked, and Balcher immediately retreated and headed to the villa to the east on the south side.

Oboyle still smiled and reached out to indulge intent. "I have already invited you to invite me. Mr. Zhao, please come in, let's talk."

As for General Inspector He Chongguang, no one cared about him at this time, and he was also very smart and invisible.

Zhao Shanhe and Oboyle have not met each other at the same time. They have also met several times in public over the past year.

However, the two people belong to people from different worlds. They only met each other but never met them.

After Zhao Shanhe applied for 150 patents at one time, he changed from an insignificant rich man to a key figure and entered Oboyle's sight.

However, as a consul, he is responsible for the operation, diplomacy, and politics of a regional organization, and he does not pay much attention to Zhao Shanhe.

Only people from intelligence agencies like Claire and others will truly attach importance to Zhao Shanhe.

Zhao Shanhe walked towards the steps with a stern face. The main building is larger than the main building of his family. He didn't have to put it outside to hold a banquet or a banquet.

However, the layout inside is very ordinary and the decoration is very cheap, which does not match the location here.

He never smiled. On the one hand, he deliberately showed his anger, and on the other hand, he deliberately left them with an impression of youth and vitality.

He was only seventeen years old and was already a billionaire. In capitalist society, he belonged to the privileged class.

Zhao Shanhe entered the small living room next to the large living room, and Oboyle walked towards the wine cabinet next to him. "Mr. Zhao, I have wine from the Napa Valley here, do you want a glass of wine?"

Zhao Shanhe still said stiffly: "I had no other thoughts before meeting my employees."

Oboyle smiled unchanged and said, "Don't worry, I'll make sure I'll give you one intact..."

A sound of footsteps came, and the pitiful Ah Hong entered the small living room with some confusion and fear under the leadership of two big men.

She was punched twice on the forehead. Although she was not suffering from the back, she also had a big swollen bag, which was purple and looked very embarrassed, and she was not intact.

Seeing Zhao Shanhe, her strength could no longer last and she burst into tears.

She trotted a few steps, called "Ahe...", and saw Zhao Shanhe's open arms, pounced on him and hugged Zhao Shanhe's waist tightly.

Zhao Shanhe gently patted Ah Hong's back and looked at Oboyle playfully.

Oboyle was also embarrassed and glared at Ballcher and the others.

I was still talking about completeness before, but Ah Hong's wound was on her forehead and the wound was very obvious.

He only heard that he had not used any torture, and thought that there was nothing wrong with it, but now he was slapped in the face again.

Zhao Shanhe did not continue to delve into it and said calmly: "Thank you, Consul, for your successful return of my employees. I will remember this friendship in my heart. However, what exactly is the reason that all this happens? I need a suitable reason. In addition, where are my employees driving a car?"

This time, everyone was embarrassed again.

Oboyle was too lazy to wipe his butt and said, "This matter is quite complicated, but the person is injured. Now he needs to go to the hospital for treatment. At the latest, Ming... Within three days, I will give Mr. Zhao a satisfactory reply."

Zhao Shanhe nodded and patted Ah Hong on the back. "Let's go to the hospital?"

Ah Hong nodded, but still hugged Zhao Shanhe's waist. She was frightened tonight.

Before Zhao Shanhe came, she imagined countless tragic ways of dying, but when she saw Zhao Shanhe, all the dark clouds disappeared and hope came.

She refused to let go of her hand, as if she would lose hope in this way.

Tomorrow becomes three days, and Zhao Shanhe also realized that the other party was not a solid piece of cake. Maybe the consul had no idea about this action.

However, Zhao Shanhe would not care about these issues, because he already had a complete revenge plan.

Since he is the head of these people, he must bear the responsibility for their trouble.

And he would not let go of several organizers easily.

When facing their country, he cannot force himself, but only a few of them, as long as time goes by, they can separate them from their country and deal with them as much as they want.

"Thank you very much. I will host a banquet to entertain you another day. Now I think I will take someone to treat you first."

Oboyleba had no choice but to pursue the matter, and he would find a reason to make excuses one day and go there.

The key issue is that the compensation for a new car worth nearly 100,000 US dollars will definitely be paid.

Also, this matter must not be exposed, especially the evidence...

He smiled dryly and asked, "Mr. Zhao, let me reveal it easily. How did you confirm that the person was in the consulate's official residence?"

Zhao Shanhe smiled and said, "Ah Hong's cell phone signal disappeared here. When I moved here, I happened to install surveillance on both sides of Baijiadao. According to the time when the signal disappeared, check the surveillance and everything will be revealed."

Oboyle asked, "That video..."

"I've given it to the police."
To be continued...
