Chapter 1814： Diamond mine

At this time, the conference hall of the De Beers family.

The current Patriarch, Rhodes walked around the hall with anxious expression on his face, then sat on the sofa with his chin in his hands.

His eye sockets were sunken, his lips were somewhat dry, his eyes were slightly red, and his expression was quite haggard.

Not long ago, Rhodes just got the news. After Carl’s motorcade went out and was about to return to the manor, he was attacked by the enemy halfway through, with most of the casualties. Carl and Yan Fei are currently missing, most likely they have been kidnapped, but now there is no news about the kidnappers.

Come.

He doesn't really care about Yan Fei, but Karl is his only son.

Although it was very unpleasant because of going to China in the past few years, with the recent take-off of the oriental dragon, the business in the family has been greatly expanded, and the contradiction between the two parties has become irreconcilable. .

This time when Karl came back, Rhodes wanted to improve the relationship with his son, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

At this moment, a young man walked over with a tall and strong man.

Rhodes looked up and saw that it was his nephew Murdoch, and said, "Murdoch, what do you want?"

Murdoch showed a sad look on his face: "Uncle, I just heard that Carl and his motorcade were attacked."

Rhodes nodded, his eyes flushed: "Yes, now Karl's whereabouts are unknown. I have contacted the British police, but there is no news yet."

Murdoch's face was grave: "Uncle, at the speed of those in the British police, I don't know when to wait."

Rhodes’ face showed a helpless look: “You’re right, I’ve let the Titans go out looking for clues to Carl and the others.” Murdoch heard this with a strange look on his face, and then pointed and stood at him. The brawny man next to him said, "Uncle, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Andrew I asked for help. He is the most famous private detective in Britain.

Definitely be able to find Karl's whereabouts in the fastest time. "

"Andrew?"

Rhodes was taken aback. He had also heard of the other party's name, and knew that he was the most famous private investigator in Britain, and he was able to assist the police in cracking hundreds of cases each year.

The most famous case was the inexplicable theft of a bank’s reserves. The police and even the bank had no clue, but after asking Andrew out, it took less than 24 hours to find the whereabouts of the reserves. .

At this time, Andrew stepped forward and said respectfully to Rhodes: "Hello, Mr. Rhodes."

Rhodes got up and shook hands with him reluctantly: "Mr. Andrew, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Now that there are more people looking for Karl's whereabouts, the more likely it is to find him.

Andrew smiled and said, "Mr. Rhodes, don't worry, Master Carl's affairs are covered by me."

Rhodes nodded.

Murdoch saw that Rhodes didn't want to say anything to them, so he said: "Then uncle, let's go first."

Rhodes said softly: "Murdoch, you have a heart."

Murdoch smiled: "Uncle, Carl is my cousin, how can I watch this matter?"

Rhodes sighed, his nephew is indeed very capable, and he likes him, and he doesn’t worry about him like Karl. If Karl is capable of Murdoch’s half calmness to make him at ease, then he will do everything. Don't worry about it.

Just as Murdoch was about to take Andrew out.

Bot brought Ye Qiu and the others over.

Seeing Ye Qiu and others, Murdoch was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "What are they doing here?"

Rhodes also saw Bot and asked Murdoch, "Murdoch, do you know them?"

Murdoch sneered and said, "Uncle, these people are the friends Carl brought back from China, but I think they are liars. You have taken a lot of jewelry from Carl. You should be careful."

Rhodes nodded calmly: "I see. Go ahead."

Murdoch took Andrew away without even looking at Ye Qiu and the others.

Ye Qiu turned his head to look at Murdoch's back, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Interesting."

at this time--

Bot stepped forward and said, "Master, these are friends of Master Carl and Miss Yan Fei, I brought them here."

Rhodes took a few steps forward. Although he heard Murdoch’s words, there was nothing strange on the surface of him. The aristocratic demeanor that should have been shown to him was vividly and vividly. He apologized to Ye Qiu: "Sorry , Originally it was just our De Beers business, but I didn’t expect your friends to be implicated, but please don’t worry, I have sent someone out to find the whereabouts of Carl and Miss Yan, and the British police are also working on it.

Force search. "

"If several people want to get news as soon as possible, then settle down in our manor first."

The last sentence is obviously to see off the guests.

At this time, Rhodes had no mood to entertain these insignificant people.

"no need."

Ye Qiu waved his hand: "Mr. Rhodes, we are here for this."

Rhodes was taken aback, frowned, and immediately said: "Several people, I know your intentions, but this matter is obviously not something you can participate in."

Ye Qiu knocked his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Rhodes, our friend is also caught up in this matter, and Karl is also my friend. It is impossible to ignore this matter. I hope to know what happened."

Rhodes didn’t think Ye Qiu could be of any help, but seeing that Ye Qiu insisted on doing this, he patiently said what happened: “This time Karl is going to discuss with a few generals in Africa for the next few years. The right to operate the diamond mine was originally agreed to be the right to operate for 20 years, but Karl insisted that it only needed the right to operate for five years, which made the generals very angry and almost didn’t.

The talk was done, but in the end the talk was over, and then when Carl and Miss Yan came back, the convoy was attacked. "

Ye Qiu looked at Rhodes and said, "Mr. Rhodes, do you think the attack is related to the ‘generals’?"

Rhodes said solemnly: "Perhaps, maybe Carl only needs five years of management rights, which makes them very angry. This is indeed Carl's problem." Ye Qiu shook his head: "Mr. Rhodes, you should be very clear about that area. The level of chaos, the regime may change every few months, and now those'generals' can have control over their own regions, but he may have been killed by others in a few months, so Karl only needs five years of operation. Right, this is the right choice to minimize the risk."
