The other party smiled, a shrewd merchant's smile, leaning in closer and speaking in a low voice, yet each word was clear:
"50,000 US Dollars, let us go, we have a flight to catch."
Li Jiaming's pupils suddenly contracted, and he tightened his grip on the police baton.
The middle-aged man continued, "Pretend we were never here, let me and my boys go."
The air seemed to freeze.
"Not enough? How about 200,000 US Dollars?"
200,000 US Dollars, for someone like Li Jiaming, an ordinary officer, was almost a few years' salary.
However, the middle-aged man made a fatal mistake.
He underestimated the young officer's sense of duty; such a blatant and huge bribe not only didn't tempt Li Jiaming but poured gasoline on his instinctive suspicion.
An "ordinary john" caught in a prostitution crackdown offering 200,000 US Dollars for freedom? Who wouldn't suspect something fishy?!
