"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.

"To succeed, you have to live dangerously."

"As long as the risk is reasonably acceptable, as long as the return is far greater than the risk."

He clearly remembers "this way."

Roberts followed white into an inner office, where two men in the same camouflage suit were already sitting waiting.

"Tell us all you know."

。。。。。。

"Coffee."

"Thank you." Hearing the aroma of coffee, Roberts, who was a little dry mouth, couldn't help but brighten his eyes and exclaim that the treatment of these war jackals is really good. If you ask the aroma, you will know that the coffee is a high-end product.

White looked at the two men who were already in deep thought, and his eyebrows were also frowning. He always felt that there were some problems in the kidnapping case, so he asked: "at the same time, Richard, the reporter of the kidnapped CBS TV station, do you have any information about him?"

"Yes. In the bag, I'll take it for you. " Said, put down the coffee cup, picked up the backpack and took out a paper bag from it and handed it to white.

White reached for it, drew out the documents, and quickly scanned them. There was no problem with the materials. British nationality, CBS battlefield photographer.

"First, Roberts, I'll ask someone to take you to a room. In the next few days, we'll ask someone to meet with you to protect your safety."

"OK, thank you." Roberts took a long breath of relief. To be honest, his trust in the local people has dropped to the lowest point. He didn't know that he had been sold. Now in his own territory, he can finally let go.
