I made plans to conquer the heroine in advance, and the protagonist was dumbfounded!

"Ah."

Li Hao took the pistol, his expression remaining calm. He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the gun before loading it.

"System, exchange the skill of using firearms for me."

[Exchange successful, Gunslinger skill level 3, deduct 600 luck points.]

The secretary looked at the gun, braced himself, and suppressed his fear.

"Boss Li, this gun..."

Li Hao glanced at her calmly and said, "This isn't Kowloon Country. There won't be a chance for you to use a gun in Kowloon Country. Only when you arrive in a war-torn area will you understand the importance of national peace. In today's technologically advanced world, a single bomb is enough to cause ordinary people to suffer."

The secretary was stunned.

Li Hao already knew the location of the pirates, so there was no need to ask them again.

The secretary calmed himself down and said, "As soon as the incident happened, Lao Hu quietly contacted the local Kowloon Consulate and reported it to the police."

"They are now negotiating with the pirates on the ship."

Li Hao said nothing more.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on one place.

The driver in front quietly changed the radio channel.

Li Hao frowned.

Soma is a very dangerous place. Even old men, old women and little kids know to carry guns.

And the driver was actually willing to sell him the life-saving thing.

Was he sure he would never get shot, or what?

"Do you have any more guns? I'm short of one."

The driver let go of the steering wheel helplessly, shrugged, and looked quite regretful: "This is the only one."

As soon as these words fell, Li Hao's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the tape recorder that was tuned to a different channel, and his fingers began tapping unconsciously on his thigh.

Just then, the driver stopped the car somewhere and planned to get off.

Li Hao had a blank expression on his face. He pressed the gun against the back of the driver's head and spoke with a chilling coldness, "Drive, or I'll crash."

The driver was stunned for a moment, then quickly calmed down: "Sir, I just want to go to the bathroom."

Li Hao sneered, his voice cold and icy: "Just try it."

Without saying a word, the driver immediately turned the key and started the car again.

Not long after the car drove out, a group of people with red scarves on their heads rushed out of the house, each holding heavy weapons. When they saw the car running away, they immediately fired warning shots and cursed.

The driver glanced secretly at the rearview mirror.

Li Hao pointed his gun forward, and the driver quickly begged for mercy: "Sir!"

Li Hao said coldly, "I'm not interested in dealing with two groups of people. If you don't move faster, I guarantee that you'll be in hell before those people catch up to you."

The group of people with red scarves on their heads were obviously from another force.

They must have an insider among the pirates. Once they got wind of the situation, they immediately made plans to snatch this piece of fat meat from the pirates.

A cold light flashed in Li Hao's eyes. Do they really think he is an ignorant little white rabbit who doesn't know the ways of the world?

Do you really think he is a CEO who knows nothing?

The driver's expression changed and he stepped on the accelerator suddenly.

The group of people behind me were finally shaken off.

The driver was afraid of getting into trouble, so he quickly explained: "Sir, please be kind. I just did it for the money. I don't know much about their affairs."

Li Hao asked him to continue driving forward.

Arriving at a roadblock made of sandbags, the driver muttered quietly, "This damn roadblock, I didn't see it the day before yesterday."

After saying that, the driver opened the door and got out of the car, intending to move the roadblock himself.

As a result, he was pinned to the ground in an instant.

A woman wearing camouflage clothes and a bulletproof vest came over with a rifle.

She is outstanding in appearance and has cold eyes.

She opened the car door herself, and inside sat the target that had to be protected in this mission.

"Mr. Li, it's safe."

As soon as Li Hao saw the group of people in camouflage uniforms in front of him, he immediately understood who they were.

He got out of the car, glanced at the soldiers, straightened the buttons of his suit, and asked calmly, "Where are you from?"

Xu Ruolan saluted and stepped forward to answer, "We are the Second Detachment of the Kowloon Special Elite Force. Boss Li, as soon as we heard that your ship had been hijacked, we received the order and rushed here."

"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Mr. Li, please come with us first."

Several soldiers drove a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle. Li Hao didn't ask any more questions and got into the car with the secretary.

In a remote house, Xu Ruolan poured Li Hao a cup of tea and said, "Mr. Li, please rest here for a while."

Li Hao asked calmly, "What's the situation on the ship now?"

Xu Ruolan sat down opposite him, frowning slightly, but still told the truth: "The consulate staff are negotiating with the pirates on the ship, and we have snipers deployed outside."

"But the pirates were very adamant and insisted on getting the ransom, not a penny less."

Li Hao frowned: "Do you know the origins of these pirates?"

Xu Ruolan recalled the information in her hand: "The leader of this group of pirates is called Dicknius, the largest pirate leader in the waters outside Soma and the surrounding areas."

"The previous pirate leader was killed two years ago. His methods were extremely cruel and vicious."

"This time he took the risk of hijacking the Kowloon Kingdom's ship. He must have done some research beforehand and knew you were the richest, so he took action."

"The goal is to raise money to buy equipment, participate in the chaos, and seize power outside Somalia."

Li Hao was silent.

"What time do they plan to meet for the negotiations?"

Xu Ruolan glanced down at her watch and said, "Ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

Li Hao thought for a moment and asked, "How do you know the driver who came to pick me up has been bribed?"

Logically speaking, the driver should have been bribed on short notice.

How did the special forces get the news so quickly?

Xu Ruolan sat up straight, her hands on her knees, and said seriously, "We caught a man wearing a red turban and interrogated him, and he confessed."

"So we immediately developed a response plan and are ready to pick you up."

Having said that, Xu Ruolan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Hao: "Fortunately, you are okay."

Li Hao's status is incomparable to that of ordinary businessmen. He has just developed holographic technology. More importantly, he is also the real founder of this technology.

If anything happens to Li Hao, if foreign forces take advantage of the chaos to intervene and secretly eliminate Li Hao, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The Kingdom of Kowloon will lose a figure who can lead technological leaps.

Xu Ruolan didn't realize that her expression had become extremely respectful when she thought of this.

Li Hao smiled and turned the gun in his hand: "They are too naive to want to take my life."

"The person in this world who can kill me, Li Hao, hasn't been born yet."

The secretary leaned against the wall, swaying slightly, his face pale.

She immediately regained her footing.

Li Hao saw this and frowned, asking with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"

The secretary shook her head: "Mr. Li, I'm fine."

After all, the secretary is a woman. She works all night long in a war-torn country. No matter how strong she is, she is still just a woman.

Everything here seemed like hell on earth. Looking at those desperate people, she couldn't bear it.

After holding on until now, I'm naturally a little exhausted.

"Just say you're tired, don't force yourself. Are there any rooms in this building?" Li Hao asked Xu Ruolan.
