Dragon Raja: I practiced Naruto ninjutsu next to Lu Mingfei.

The Dutch were quite pleased with themselves, believing it was the result of their reformation efforts, making even criminals willing to rehabilitate in prison...

But Gu Ran felt that these people had been brainwashed and turned into idiots by so-called "happy education"...

"Alright, now make up for the eight million you embezzled from the company. I'll give you the bank account details first thing tomorrow morning." Gu Ran continued to Richard. "You have one week to make up for the remaining seven million, or else you can expect to be wearing the mafia's 'cement boots'."

So-called cement boots are made by mixing semi-dry, semi-wet cement, then immersing people's feet in the cement mortar. As the cement hardens, their feet are sealed inside. Finally, the criminals are thrown into the sea...

The Mafia originated in Sicily, surrounded by the sea, so the final resting place for sinners is naturally the sea.

Richard had heard of the cement boot punishment. He paused for a moment, then shouted, "I... I don't have that much money. Eight million dollars is my limit. I really don't have that much money!"

“You have enough. Sell all your properties in Marseille, sell the gold and silver jewelry you bought for your wife, and sell the money you made in the London stock market over the years. That should be enough.” Gu Ran had already figured out his situation while reading his memories.

He continued, "Your young lady just made it very clear: either die or lose everything. Otherwise, she won't realize she's wrong. It's your choice: money or life."

Su Xiaoqiang looked at Richard expressionlessly, letting him choose for himself.

"I, I, I'm going to die!" Richard finally sighed, resigning himself to his fate.

“Great, see, this problem isn’t hard to solve, right?” Gu Ran smiled and patted Richard’s head, leaving the Flying Thunder God mark on his head. “By the way, don’t even think about escaping. You can’t escape. I can find you no matter where you run.”

Finally, Gu Ran had the Mafia members release Richard, then looked at the Mafia leader and said in English, "One million dollars to buy your life. Transfer the money to me, and I'll spare your life and let you off the hook this time."

“One…one million US dollars?” The leader was stunned. His family was not a big family, but they had some influence in the local area.

Chapter 565 Give me back what you took from me!

At the end of the 20th century, Italy began a full-scale crackdown on gangs, and all the Mafia members started to go out of business and go into legitimate business. For example, this family is currently selling olive oil in the United States.

Therefore, a million dollars is a considerable sum for this leading family, especially since he has no bloodline.

"Yes, I will raise the money." The leader didn't dare to say anything more and immediately agreed to buy his life with money, without daring to object.

Because the other party is backed by the Gattuso family, if he resists, his own family may be implicated.

Moreover, although he had no bloodline, he had vaguely heard about mixed-race people and knew that the Gattuso family had special abilities.

So Gu Ran gave a bank card number, which the leader wrote down on his phone, saying that he would transfer the money to Gu Ran's bank card before 10:00 AM GMT the next morning.

"Alright, it's getting dark, let's all go our separate ways peacefully." Gu Ran smiled and began to shoo them away.

When Richard heard that he could leave, he was the first to scramble to his feet and run away as fast as he could, as if he was afraid he wouldn't be able to escape.

Gu Ran just smiled when he saw this scene, not caring where the fat man wanted to run to; he knew the fat man couldn't escape his grasp.

"Oh dear, it's already dark." Gu Ran turned around and put his arm around Su Xiaoqiang's slender waist. "We haven't had a proper chance to play some sexy beach games together."

Su Xiaoqiang wrapped her arms around his neck and gently kissed his lips: "My husband was the best today!"

"Not enough, I want more."

"Let's talk about it tonight. You can do whatever you want tonight."

"Hehehe, you said it." Gu Ran pinched her cheek, then took her hand and walked back.

"I don't want to walk anymore, carry me." Su Xiaoqiang had walked so far and was a little tired, so she pouted and acted coquettishly.

"it is good."

Gu Ran carried Su Xiaoqiang on his back, supporting her tender thighs with both hands.

Su Xiaoqiang wrapped her arms around Gu Ran's neck, pressed her upper body against Gu Ran's back, and swung her long legs around him, looking very relaxed and at ease.

The two strolled slowly along the beach, enjoying the afterglow of the sunset together.

*……*……*

The next day, in a large bed in a hotel suite by the sea in Marseille.

Gu Ran opened his eyes in bed and was about to stretch, but a lovely person was pressed tightly against his right chest, preventing him from stretching out.

One of her legs was stretched over his waist, pressing against his lower abdomen, and one hand was always around his neck, her fingers occasionally stroking his face.

Gu Ran smiled, stroked her smooth back, pinched her pert bottom, and finally gently kissed her forehead.

Sleeping Beauty was awakened by the kiss. Su Xiaoqiang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she opened her eyes.

"Good morning, honey."

"Good morning, my dear husband." As she spoke, Su Xiaoqiang reached out and hugged Gu Ran tightly, feeling the warmth of his body. Then she buried her head in his chest, her cheek against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

Gu Ran patted her shoulder lightly: "Do you want to stay in bed? We need to check the accounts at ten o'clock this morning."

"Five minutes, let me hug you again," Su Xiaoqiang said sweetly in his arms.

"Hmm... if you keep holding me like this, five minutes might not be enough, it could take an hour," Gu Ran said with a mischievous grin.

"I don't care, let me hug you a little longer." Su Xiaoqiang insisted on being hugged.

Gu Ran had no choice but to swallow his pride and spend some time with her.

Last night, Xiao Lianhua stayed at Erii's place, so only Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang were left in the hotel suite. The two of them had been wanting some alone time for a while, so they naturally played a lot of games that only adults play.

The fun in it is left to everyone's imagination.

Five minutes later, Su Xiaoqiang lazily let go of him, then got up and started getting dressed.

Gu Ran also got up at this time. Boys always get dressed faster, so after changing his clothes, he called the hotel service to have breakfast brought up.

After getting dressed, Su Xiaoqiang started combing her hair, then brushing her teeth and washing her face before packing Xiaolianhua's luggage.

Yuan Zhisheng and the others hoped that Xiao Lianhua could stay with them for a few days, just like Erii's friends. Xiao Lianhua agreed. It just so happened that Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang's upcoming debt collection trip would be inconvenient with a child, so it would be safer for Xiao Lianhua to stay with the tortoise family.

And it's also a good opportunity to get to know Erii better.

Last night, Erii and Xiaolianhua took a selfie, and Erii sent the photo to Lu Mingfei, telling him that she was her new friend.

Lu Mingfei's reply came late, after all, there was a time difference between the two places, and he had been busy recently. However, he still praised Erii, saying, "Erii is great, she has finally made a new friend," giving her the highest emotional value.

Erii was in a good mood, thinking she had done something amazing, and kept asking her if she would make more friends.

Lu Mingfei said yes, he would start with these children and gradually make more friends.

So Erii later gave Xiaolianhua a Pikachu rubber toy as a symbol of their friendship. Xiaolianhua was very happy. She said that she saw on TV that in three years, Yokohama would hold a Pokémon parade, and she and Erii made a promise to go see it together.

In short, the two girls, one older and one younger, got along very well. Their simple minds allowed them to communicate without any barriers.

……

At ten o'clock in the morning, Su Xiaoqiang, dressed in a white business suit, arrived at the office with Gu Ran.

The office was located in a building near the port, and they only rented one office space. It was mainly responsible for the customs clearance and localized sales of Mr. Su's goods.

In fact, mineral resources have fixed buyers, and these buyers are all registered with the government, so there are no problems with their financial transactions.

Su's father and Su Xiaoqiang speculated that these people were probably fabricating or exaggerating transactions. For example, if there was 1 ton of iron ore, they would only sell 0.8 tons, but would quote the price of 1 ton, and then they would keep the remaining 0.2 tons and sell them to a third party to cash out.

This is a common trick, and Su's father can usually spot it. However, the settlement cycle overseas is quite long, and Su's father might forget about it for a moment, which is why they were able to sneak in.

However, Su Xiaoqiang would have to investigate the other party's specific tactics to find out the results. She majored in business administration and minored in accounting in college, so reviewing financial statements was one of her professional skills.

When the young couple entered the office, Richard, dressed in a black suit, was already waiting there.

There were also local office staff around, all of whom were Chinese or overseas Chinese. There were only six of them, including Richard.

"Good morning, Miss! Good morning, Young Master!" The six people bowed and greeted Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang together, making the two of them feel quite uncomfortable.

"Alright, you all get back to work. We can check the accounts ourselves." Su Xiaoqiang addressed the employees directly, acting as if she were some kind of pampered young lady.

Gu Ran didn't need anyone to lead the way. He simply pushed open the conference room door and said to the employees, "By the way, if you have any clues, feel free to report them. Although I already know who is involved, just hand over the money and everything will be fine. The opportunity is before sunset today."

The employees looked at each other, and two of the younger men, who were not yet thirty, seemed a little lost.

As for the remaining three, two men and one woman, all around forty years old, they feigned confusion on their faces.

When Gu Ran used 'memory reading' on Richard yesterday, he already knew who was involved.

He then smiled and glanced at the four men, saying, “Richard has already agreed to refund me $15 million. Three of you employees were involved, and you three should refund $2 million of that. Then, the three of you will contribute another $2 million as a penalty, and that will settle things between us. Otherwise… you can ask Richard yourselves about the consequences.”

After saying that, Gu Ran took two cans of Coke from the refrigerator in the office and went into the conference room to help Su Xiaoqiang look through the documents.

Richard had already placed all the accounts in the conference room, as requested by Su Xiaoqiang.

……

After Gu Ran and Su Xiaoqiang entered the conference room and closed the door, the employees outside began to hold a small meeting.

Two young men were excluded because they hadn't embezzled and had arrived late, thus being sidelined from the group.

They watched the other four with schadenfreude.

"Mr. Li, what exactly happened? Didn't you say yesterday that you'd find the Mafia to scare them?" one of the men asked Richard with some dissatisfaction.

Richard had no way to explain himself, so he could only tell these people what had happened yesterday. Finally, he said helplessly, "I never expected that he would know a big family in the Mafia, and I heard it's the emperor family of the Mafia..."

"Huh? Why didn't you tell us sooner?" the people complained. They felt that they should have been told about this yesterday and then discussed a solution together.

If they had known yesterday that their new son-in-law was so formidable, they probably would have packed up and run away overnight.

In fact, Richard had planned to run away quietly by himself last night. There's a saying, "Better to die for your friends than for yourself." He planned to take his family and leave quietly without notifying them, leaving these people for his son-in-law and daughter to vent their anger on.

Therefore, last night he and his wife packed their things and took their child with them, and quietly drove away from France around 10 p.m.

Little did he know, he had barely driven out of Marseille when a phone call came in on his cell phone.

The person on the phone identified herself as Li Enshu. She said she was Gu Ran's secretary and had noticed that he had left Marseille and was fleeing north. She hoped that he would realize his mistake and get off the highway 12 kilometers ahead to return to his residence.

At the same time, Lee Eun-sook thoughtfully reminded him that the local highway speed limit was 110 km/h, and his current speed was 150 km/h, hoping he would not exceed the speed limit and drive safely...

Chapter 566 What kind of force can command military satellites?

Upon hearing this, Richard was so frightened that he immediately turned off his phone. But then his wife's phone rang. She first received a text message that repeated what she had just heard.

Then the phone rang. Richard's wife didn't press the answer button, but the call was answered automatically and put on speakerphone.

Lee Eun-sook told them over the phone, "If you don't turn back now, your information will be passed on to gangs all over Europe, and then the safety of your whole family will be hard to guarantee."

Upon hearing this, Richard and his wife had no choice but to exit the highway as required.

However, Richard still had a little trick up his sleeve. After getting off the highway, he didn't take the main road, but instead took a mountain path.

He thought to himself that his phone must have been hacked, and that he was being monitored because the other party was watching him through the cameras on the highway!

Therefore, as long as he goes to a place without cameras, he should be able to hide his whereabouts!
