Chapter: 4241

Shibata Ichiro laughed and said: "Well, maybe you can sacrifice yourself for the safety of your family."

Chen Fu asked him back: "Even if I do what you're saying, how can you guarantee that you'll definitely let my family go?"

Shibata Ichiro laughed: "This matter, you can only choose to believe me. I can't give you any guarantees beyond my promise."

As he spoke, Shibata Ichiro's tone suddenly turned stern: "Start with it, if you don't do what I say, your family will definitely die!"

Immediately, Shibata Ichiro's expression relaxed slightly and he spoke sincerely: "Chen Fu, I'm not some kind of serial killer or something. I just want to complete my task, then take the money and leave America safely, so I don't need to kill your family."

"Who knows if you'll kill people off after getting what you want?" Chen Fu warned. "Most kidnapping cases, the kidnappers will kill their hostages to avoid exposure!"

"Kill them off?" Shibata Ichiro laughed scornfully. "Think about it, Chen Fu. I'm appearing to you today with my real face, and at 11 o'clock tonight, I'll be showing up at the banquet hall in person, where I'll be caught on all the surveillance cameras. Since I'll definitely be exposed anyway, what's the point of killing people off? That's just being dishonest with yourself!"

Chen Fu heard this and had some doubts removed from his mind about Shibata Ichiro's words.

According to his usual understanding of criminals, killing them off was done to avoid exposure. But Shibata Ichiro's words were indeed very reasonable, since he was going to expose himself anyway, killing people off would be like hiding one's horns.

Thinking this over, Chen Fu looked at Shibata Ichiro and blurted out, "Okay! I agree with you! Please don't harm my family!"

"Relax." Shibata Ichiro smiled slightly. "At 11 o'clock tonight, my people will feed your family to their fill and then hide the container in a completely safe location. After I leave America, I'll give you the location of the container, and by nightfall, you can rescue them."

As he spoke, Shibata Ichiro was very considerate. "Chen Fu, after we leave, the police might come looking for you and even put you on the wanted list. But don't be afraid. Just tell the truth and if necessary, you can even report the location of the container to the police and let them help you rescue your family. This way, they'll believe what you're saying, and even if they investigate you further, it won't be too severe. You might just have to spend a few years in prison, but your family will all be able to live safely."

Chen Fu heard this and felt grateful towards Shibata Ichiro.

Because he hadn't expected that these kidnappers would think so carefully about their own well-being, it seemed that they actually had some sense of morality.

It was precisely Shibata Ichiro's words that thoroughly dispelled Chen Fu's doubts.

So, he looked at Shibata Ichiro and said, "On the 11th night, I'll bring you to the banquet hall to serve. That's all my task entails, right?"

Shibata Ichiro smiled and said, "Not just me, but eight people. As long as you arrange all of us into it, your mission will be complete."

He continued, "Don't worry that others might find it strange. According to what I know, the charity dinner on the 11th night is going to be very large-scale, with at least two to three hundred guests attending. And since the dinner's standards are very high, it's definitely going to require more people. At that time, you can just tell others that we eight people are temporary help brought in from other departments or hotels, and they won't suspect a thing."

Chen Fu nodded slightly.

Hotels prioritize maximizing profits, so they don't usually provide sufficient staff beforehand. They only hire people on a temporary basis when needed.

Moreover, temporary labor is very easy to find. In New York's free labor market, there are countless temporary workers who can work for a day and then loaf around for three days, as long as they're given a daily wage of $15. No matter what job it is, others will scramble to take it.

These people have a high degree of mobility. Today, I might serve at the hotel, tomorrow I could be sweeping floors at an inn, and two days later, I might become a construction worker moving heavy objects.

So, arranging eight temporary workers into place won't raise anyone's suspicions.

Thinking about this, he gritted his teeth and said to Shibata Ichiro, "Alright! I agree with you all! At that time, I'll definitely arrange you all into place!"

It didn't take long for time to arrive at eleven o'clock. JrNovels.com
