Chapter 938 (1/2)

”We will do our best to get them released...” A spokesman for CBS TV looked at the reporters in front of him and said things he couldn't believe.

Thinking of what the boss said ”in accordance with the Convention”, he knew that the big boss behind the scenes would not ”try his best”. If the local government and police station in Iraq really had the ability to save people, they would not let journalists be kidnapped.

”Will CBS pay a ransom to release the kidnapped?”

Faced with this inevitable and difficult question, a CBS spokesman used a very familiar phrase, ”we will try our best to release them, and we hope that the local government and the police can...”

The next morning, Lei Shidong, dressed in a nightgown and eating breakfast, looked at the news report of his TV station, and his face was ugly. He walked out of the Du breakfast room.

Stepping out of the hall, stepping on the cashmere carpet decorated with luxurious velvet embroidery, I came to a gold phone imitating antiques, picked up the phone and called the CEO of CBS TV station.

”What's the latest?”

”Boss, news from Newsweek this morning said that they had contacted each other through local middlemen, and their reporters were kidnapped together. The other side offered 10 million dollars...”

”It seems that it's definitely a kidnapping. Ten million for four people? We don't care about the locals. ”

”Boss, it's a person...”

Lei Shidong combed his scrupulous blonde back, moved it slightly, picked up his eyebrows, and calmly said, ”nothing!”

CBS's CEO, Memphis, listened to the phone's crisp hang up and long busy tone. He could not help shaking his head and slowly hung up.

”There's not a hair...” He had no choice but to sit on the boss's chair. In 2002, Daniel Pearl, who had his throat cut, disappeared in 2004, two journalists from the French Figaro newspaper and the TV station, who are still missing. In 2006, there were two journalists from Fox TV, one Spanish reporter and one AFP reporter.

If you want the ransom, you may come back alive. The most frightening thing is that there is no news. BBC reporter Alan Johnston was released four months after he paid the ransom. If there is no ransom, you can only collect the body.
