Hearing Chen Ning’s words, Blackbeard thought Chen Ning was going to curb his arrogance, and bowed his head slightly.
Since Chen Ning is willing to bow his head, he is naturally willing to give Chen Ning a step down.
Therefore, he made a request that he couldn’t ask too much.
He said faintly: “Mr. Chen, you are the representative of the five big families sent to meet with me. I can save you face and not hold you accountable for your wounds.”
As he said, his eyes fell on Qin Que, the female subordinate next to Chen Ning, and his face turned cold: “But you female bodyguard cut off the arms of a dozen of my brothers, and she has to pay the price.”
When Chen Ning heard the words, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said with a non-smiling smile: “Oh?”
Black Beard said: “Mr. Chen, since she is your subordinate, I hope you punish her even more, it can be regarded as an explanation for me!”
Everyone at the scene looked at Chen Ning together with bad eyes.
Standing beside Chen Ning, Qin Que had a pretty face and could not see any joy, anger, sorrow or joy at all. He seemed to have heard Black Beard ask Chen Ning to punish her severely.
Chen Ning smiled and said, “Your Excellency Blackbeard is right. I suddenly felt that my female bodyguard should be punished.”
Blackbeard smiled upon hearing the words.
Although Chen Ning is the representative of the five major families to negotiate, although he is his sponsor.
But Chen Ning wounded his men in his turf, and Chen Ning’s female bodyguard chopped off a dozen of his men’s arms.
If he doesn’t save some face in this matter, then it’s rumored that he is still messing with it!
Now Chen Ning is willing to give him an explanation and punish this female bodyguard, which is naturally a good result.
Not to undermine the negotiation between the two sides, but also preserved Blackbeard’s face.
He happened to watch how Chen Ning punished Qin Que in his spare time.
I saw Chen Ning and said to Qin Que with a serious face: “You haven’t done a good job at your job, and your salary will be halved this month.”
Qin Que said: “Yes!”
Blackbeard froze.
The powerful soldiers behind him, as well as the private armed soldiers, were all stunned.
Just this point of punishment?
If you deduct half a month’s salary, you’re done!
This is too perfunctory!
Black Beard was dissatisfied with Chen Ning’s punishment. He felt that even if Chen Ning didn’t kill Qin Que, he would at least have to abolish one of Qin Que’s hands.
Qin Que chopped off the arms of a dozen of his brothers in exchange for the penalty of deducting half a month’s salary.
This punishment is simply too ridiculous.
Blackbeard raised his dissatisfaction on the spot: “Mr. Chen, I must say that your punishment for your female bodyguard seems to be too light.”
“She chopped off the arms of a dozen of my brothers. According to my opinion, you must chop off one of her hands. This is an explanation for me…”
After waiting for Blackbeard to finish speaking, Chen Ning directly interrupted: “Wait!”
“Lord Blackbeard, you probably misunderstood.”
“I punish my female bodyguard by cutting off your arm with her. It has nothing to do with her.”
“I punish her, let alone give you an explanation.”
Blackbeard’s eyes widened: “What did you say?”
“You punish her, not to give me an explanation, not to calm my anger, what is that?”
Chen Ning stood with his hands behind and said lightly: “Of course it is for myself.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Qin Que and rebuked: “Do you know why you deducted half a month’s salary?”
“Because those guys just wanted to shoot me with an AK. These people endangered my personal safety. You shouldn’t be so kind when you shoot.”
“When you encounter this situation in the future, it is not enough to chop off the opponent’s hand, you have to chop off the opponent’s head.”
“Here is where I said you didn’t do a good job at work, remember?”
Qin Que said crisply: “Mr. Chen, the subordinates know, next time someone dares to point a gun at Mr. Chen, then I will not chop off his arm, but his dog’s head.”
Chen Ning smiled with satisfaction: “Yes, that’s it, very good.”
Blackbeard and his men were stunned.
quite a while!
Blackbeard came back to his senses, his face was blue and white, very ugly.
He gritted his teeth and said angrily: “Mr. Chen, what do you mean?”
Chen Ning and Blackbeard looked at each other, and said calmly, “I mean, you don’t understand Blackbeard?”
“It was your subordinates who were rude to me first. Your subordinates dared to point a gun at me, dared to shoot me, and my bodyguard only chopped off their arms. This is already a kindness to them.”
“Your Excellency Blackbeard, you have to teach your subordinates more, after all, they won’t have such good luck next time.”
Blackbeard’s face was green: “You!”
“Are you here to negotiate or to fight?”
Blackbeard said, the powerful soldiers behind him, as well as the private armed soldiers, all stared at Chen Ning murderously.
It seemed that as long as they couldn’t agree, Head Blackbeard gave an order that they would tear Chen Ning and Qin Que into pieces.
Facing the countless murderous pirates in front of him, Chen Ning still had a relaxed face and said calmly, “I came to this place where the birds do not shit, of course it is for Dr. Gong.”
“If you want to talk, then I will sit down with you and talk.”
“If you don’t want to talk, then I don’t care.”
Hearing this, Blackbeard stared at Chen Ning.
His face kept changing, and the mysterious Mr. Chen sent by the five big families really did not play the cards according to common sense at all.
but!
These robbers were all asking for money, so Blackbeard’s reason finally suppressed his anger and calmed down.
His face also eased, and finally he smiled and said without a smile: “Ho ho, I just said why the five big families sent Mr. Chen such a young person to talk to me. Now it seems that Mr. Chen is not in the pool. The thing!”
“You are right, we are meeting this time to talk about commissions.”
“Please, go inside and sit down and talk.”
Seeing that Blackbeard had regressed, Chen Ning said faintly, “Okay, there is work to lead the way.”
Blackbeard and his party led Chen Ning into the pirate nest like a military base.
Private armed soldiers standing guard are everywhere along the road.
It is not excessive at all to describe it with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.
It can be seen that the guy Blackbeard pays much attention to his own protection.
Blackbeard and his men surrounded Chen Ning with all the stars. They introduced Chen Ning to Chen Ning’s home environment while walking. At the same time, he smiled and said, “This is where I live. The base of our pirate group is three kilometers away. Far.”
“There is the base camp of our pirate regiment. My ships, weapons, and most of my brothers in the pirate regiment live there.”
“Looking back, I have time to take you over to see your horizons.”
Chen Ning smiled and said, “Okay!”
Soon, Black Beard took Chen Ning into a luxurious house and came to the magnificent hall.
The host and guest sat down, and the servant brought coffee and tea.
Qin Que respectfully stood behind Chen Ning, keeping every step of the way.
A large number of Blackbeard’s capable men also stood behind him, and there were many fully armed private soldiers outside the house.
Blackbeard picked up the coffee, and at the same time raised his left hand, motioned to Chen Ning to drink tea, and said, “Mr. Chen, this is our local coffee. The taste is very good. You can try it.”
Chen Ning smiled: “I don’t like coffee.”
Hearing this, Blackbeard immediately ordered his servant to change other drinks to Chen Ning.
But Chen Ning waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter what you drink, the important thing is to discuss the business first.”
“Your Excellency Blackbeard, how is Dr. Gong now?”
Bring up business.
Blackbeard is also coming.
He squinted his eyes and said slyly: “It’s locked in my dungeon. It’s still healthy now. Of course, as long as your five big families offer me a price that satisfies me, I can immediately turn him into a corpse.”
Chen Ning said: “Money is not a problem, you can open the price as you like.”
Blackbeard was ecstatic when he heard the words.
Chen Ning said again: “But one thing, before that, I have to confirm with my own eyes whether the person you are catching is Dr. Gong, so that you won’t catch Dr. Gong and give money to our five big families.”
Black beard said displeasedly: “Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? I can’t talk about being very honest with Blackbeard, but I’m not so shameless, right?”
Chen Ning smiled and said: “I only trust my eyes. Your Excellency Blackbeard, as long as you bring Dr. Gong and let me confirm with my own eyes that there is no problem, then the price is up to you, and I will never bargain.”
Black Beard squinted at Chen Ning.
He instinctively feels something is wrong, but there is nothing wrong with it, but he who has been robbing and killing at sea for a long time is like a beast in the sea, with a sensitive sense of danger.
but!
For the sake of money, he finally agreed to Chen Ning’s request.
He stood up, walked under one of the hands, and ordered: “Water ghost, you take people over, bring Dr. Gong over in the water jail, and let Mr. Chen look over.”
This man with messy hair, high cheekbones and deep eye sockets, but with very sharp eyes, replied in a deep voice: “Yes, head of the team.”
Blackbeard leaned into the ear of the water ghost and added in a low voice: “Call in more men, surround them, and watch me wink. If this kid surnamed Chen dares to play tricks, I want them all to live. Get out of this door.”
The water ghost said: “Understood.”
