Chapter 526: Chapter 509 Like Hell (1)
Old Geng had originally planned to drop Lu Jiajie off at the Lu Family’s doorstep in the Forty-Nine City and then head back, concluding that his mission would be accomplished once he got him home.
Seeing him about to leave, Lu Jiajie grabbed hold of his arm and said, “Older brother, I met a few people in the mine, and two of them are from the Forty-Nine City. If their families can afford the ransom, could you help get them out?”
Old Geng looked at him, with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Your ransom was ten thousand greenbacks, and my fee is another ten thousand greenbacks. Plus, if more people are ransomed, the other side may raise the price. Are you sure your two friends’ families can come up with that much money? Or rather, are they willing to?”
The gold mine’s owner was a local bully with connections above, but they were all ultimately after money. If families were willing to pay a high ransom, they would certainly release the captives.
Lu Jiajie was shocked, “Your fee is ten thousand greenbacks?”
Seeing his reaction, Old Geng scoffed, “Without a high reward, who would go to all corners of the earth to look for someone? My ten thousand greenbacks is actually on the lower side. Those two brothers you saw earlier, their fee was fifty thousand greenbacks. If it weren’t for the boss being so wealthy and willing to spend, you wouldn’t have survived this year.”
The fellow was also lucky to have a rich sister who was willing to spend money on him. Over two hundred thousand greenbacks, his life was indeed valuable, too bad he didn’t appreciate his good fortune.
