Chapter 126: Rescue Operation
Chapter 126: Rescue Operation
Looking at Lu Chuang's gesture of rubbing his two fingers non-stop, John was stunned. He thought Lu Chuang was worried about the troubles of Sentry's Secret Service, but he was really caught off guard by such a sudden reversal.
However, Lu Chuang's words made John see hope, as long as he didn't directly refuse.
John asked, "How much do you want?"
"For the sake of reminding Lorna, let me give you a friendly price, one million USD." Lu Chuang shook his head and raised a finger, with an expression of your blood making me a blood loss.
"Many, how many?"
John suspected that he had heard it wrong. It was not until Lu Chuang repeated it patiently that he was sure that it was not his auditory hallucinations, but Lu Chuang's vision problems. He said bitterly: "You see, I seem to have Does it look like a million USD?"
Seeing that John was wearing a vest on his upper body, his two solid arms were exposed, and his lower body was wearing a pair of worn-out cheap trousers, Lu Chuang shook his head: "It really doesn't look like it, it looks like it's only a hundred USD.
John: "....
Although you are telling the truth, can't you be more tactful?
John showed a look of embarrassment, and said with some lack of confidence: "Can you have a little less, I don't have so much money.
"Then how much can you take out?"
"About 10,000 USD..."
Lu Chuang raised his eyebrows slightly, and questioned: "You are the leader of the Mutant underground organization, why are you so poor, and what is the activity fund of your organization?"
John explained with a frowning face: "Our organization doesn't have much money available, because we don't have a sustainable source of income. Usually we rely on some rich people who are friendly to Mutant for relief. In return, we help them do some legal work. Things, with this kind of money we can barely maintain the operation of the organization."
After Ivan formed the Mutant underground organization, he threw the stall directly to John, and did not provide much material help, if John hadn't passed his comrades
Found the relief of some rich people, their organization has long since collapsed.
Even so, their Mutant underground organization still doesn't have much tea money.
Not to mention a million USD, even the 10,000 USD John had to spend some time getting together.
Lu Chuang could tell that John wasn't lying, and shook his head: "Since you have no money, then I won't make it difficult for you. Let 10,000 USD be 10,000 USD."
"Thank you very much..."
"For the rest of the money, you give me an IOU, and it will be calculated according to the bank's interest."

John swallowed the words of thanks in an instant, he didn't expect that there would be such an operation as an IOU.
John couldn't help looking at Lorna, he wanted to change back to Lorna, there was no other meaning, he thought Lorna was more reliable, definitely not because he had no money.
It's just that Lorna was a little moved by Lu Chuang's words just now, "For the sake of reminding Lorna", she lowered her head and counted the ants, pretending not to see John's gaze.
Girls are just so fickle sometimes.
Seeing that Lorna couldn't go this way, John gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, no problem!"
"Fresh enough, worthy of being a leader!"
After seeing John agreeing, Lu Chuang said cheerfully: "I've accepted your commission, but I didn't bring a pen and paper with me when I went out. We'll make up for the IOU later. First, tell me about your companions, and you What's your plan?"
Anyway, Lu Chuang is finally willing to help himself, John said seriously: "We have already obtained some information, Clarice will be transferred two days later, and there will be a team from the Sentry Secret Service as an escort team to transfer by truck Clarice."
"So, our plan is to intercept the convoy and the truck during Clarice's transfer, and get Clarice before Sentry Secret Service responds."
"I see, so how are you going to intercept that truck?" Lu Chuang asked with a serious expression, as if he was a professional. The money was not wasted.
Anyway, John has already been fooled by Lu Chuang's acting skills, and he can't help but feel that Lu Chuang doesn't seem to be unreliable on the outside.
"Actually, we haven't thought of a solution to this problem yet. Our plan is to intercept the truck without causing the Sentry Secret Service to find out, and try to avoid a head-on conflict with the Sentry Secret Service. But my companions, they None of the Abilities can do that."
Having said that, John glanced at Lorna.
Lu Chuang suddenly realized, no wonder John kept saying that he needed Lorna's help, this task is indeed very suitable for Lorna, for Lorna who has the ability to control metal, it is not difficult to stop a truck.
....
Lorna also understood this point, instead of counting ants with her head down, she raised her head and said indifferently: "Leave the task of intercepting the truck to me."
Now that Lu Chuang agrees to help John, she has nothing to worry about.
"Then I'll trouble you!" John's eyes lit up, and it's great that Lorna is willing to help, and the most important thing is that the other party doesn't need to spend money.
With the participation of Lu Chuang and Lorna, John was more confident about the next rescue operation, and took the initiative to briefly describe his arrangement. After hearing that, Lu Chuang felt that there was no problem, so he made an appointment with John to start the operation two days later.
Before leaving, Lu Chuang did not forget about the IOU.
Since it was difficult to buy pens and paper around this time, Lu Chuang led John with a dazed face to the corner and prevented Lorna from following. Grief and indignation left.
Ignoring Lorna's strange eyes, Lu Chuang looked at the photos on his phone and nodded in satisfaction.
As for the X-Men intel...
Lu Chuang was not in a hurry to investigate, he had to eat slowly, and wait for him to complete another achievement task. Anyway, with these photos in his mobile phone, Lu Chuang is not afraid of John running away.
Two days later, Lu Chuang and Lorna came to an abandoned factory according to the agreed time.
John has been waiting here for a long time.
However, this time John was not alone, there were three figures standing beside him.
Seeing the arrival of Lu Chuang and Lorna, John immediately came over to greet them: "You are finally here, let me introduce you, these three are my companions and members of the Mutant underground organization, they will assist us this time action."
The wine-red long-haired woman standing on John's right smiled at Lorna and said, "I met Miss Dan before, do you still remember me?"
"Remember, your name is Sofia." Lorna said calmly.
In front of unfamiliar people, Lorna maintains her usual high-cold image, her gestures are full of force, and she doesn't know who she learned this pretending skill from. .
