Chapter 1577: Chapter 1577: Disaster Strikes Wives and Children (2nd Update)
To be honest, as an Australian Immigration Bureau diplomat, Wolf knows quite a few heavyweight figures in various countries.
However, many of them are heavyweight figures but not powerful enough—does being the king of the Tang Kingdom mean anything useful?
But without needing others to remind him, Wolf immediately thought of a suitable helper—Sofia Jansen.
He ended up in this situation because he got involved in this matter; if he hadn’t gotten involved, how could he have been so passive?
However, despite saying this, did he really have the power to refuse to get involved? Truly, he did not.
When things developed to this point, there was no longer an issue of picking sides; he helped Sofia with her nationality, no matter his constraints, he defied the will of the FBI.
So he could only come to Sofia for help: because I helped you, I am now being retaliated against by the Mai Nation government.
Deep down, Sofia really disliked this person—you keep swaying and even calculated against me before, and now you have the nerve to let me resolve this kind of matter for you?
This kind of feeling is very unpleasant, but Sofia comes from a commercial family and knows the rationale that harmony brings wealth, and the FBI’s actions also made her extremely dissatisfied, so she is not enthusiastic but does not refuse to help.
Feng Jun, after understanding the situation, also shook his head speechlessly. Frankly speaking, he also could not stand the various overbearing actions of the Mai Nation people, but wanting him to help Wolf, those conditions were not enough.
So he clearly stated, “Helping him is not a problem, but… why should I help him? Allowing you to naturalize is basically a normal operation, can it be considered his merit?”
Sofia spread her hands, “Exactly, that’s why I’m not in a rush to inform you. Besides, he doesn’t have many terms to offer. Should we have him help more Huaxia citizens immigrate?”
Help Huaxia citizens immigrate? Feng Jun couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth; this condition… well, many people care about this, but he is definitely not interested in it.
“I knew it,” Sofia was certain that with the Big Boss’s racial inclinations, he would definitely not care for this condition, “If we let him pay, he doesn’t have much money, and it might ruin my reputation… am I someone who can be bought with money?”
“Hmm, a bad reputation?” Feng Jun’s eyes lit up, “You have a point. If the FBI plots against you and also retaliates against the immigration bureau’s director, us not intervening would also tarnish our reputation.”
“Right, right,” Sofia said, her eyes also lighting up. What she always cared about was that her action couldn’t be too cheap—actually, she just needed a suitable reason to act, “Since the FBI is being too oppressive, we also need to make a name for our Daoist Temple.”
“Daoist Temple… hasn’t even started yet,” Feng Jun laughed. However, her concern for the future temple made him very gratified, “Tell him we can help him, but he must remember he owes us a favor.”
“No problem,” Sofia nodded with a smile, then softly repeated, “Owe a favor… I really like this Huaxia phrase.”
Wolf had no objection to owing a favor. He summarized the information he knew and solemnly expressed, “Please be ruthless, I don’t mind owing one more favor.”
Since Feng Jun decided to make a move, he wouldn’t dawdle. After negotiating the terms, he immediately traveled to the Mai Nation through Footprint and brought two FBI employees who were threatening Wolf out of their homes overnight—along with their families.
In total, seven people were thrown into the mountains by him, and he woke them up before leaving.
Among them was a family of three, who found themselves thrown into the wilderness in the dead of night; looking around, they found they didn’t even have a mobile phone, not to mention a small knife, and immediately panicked.
Fortunately, the man of the house was no slouch; in the icy, snowy environment, he managed to find dry grass under a rock, and two hours later, succeeded in starting a fire. By this time, his hands and feet were already frostbitten.
His wife and child were not dressed much either—they were all abducted from their dreams. But luckily, they had a thin quilt to resist the cold, while the FBI employee had to run barefoot back and forth in the snow.
Lighting a fire wasn’t the end of it; the hills covered in snow made gathering dry wood extremely difficult.
But this employee was really a survival expert; not only did he gradually find some dry wood, but he also caught a snow rabbit with a trap.
By the next afternoon, someone saw black smoke rising in the mountains and, analyzing it as a call for help, finally used a helicopter to rescue the three of them.
The FBI employee was still somewhat conscious, but the frostbite on his hands and feet was severe enough that he could count himself lucky if amputation wasn’t needed.
Only by asking around did he find out, to his shock, that not only was this place deep in the mountains, but it was also more than five hundred kilometers from where he lived.
No need to guess more, he already knew who did this—besides Sofia, who else could have such capability?
Even if other forces had such capability, who would be so bored to mobilize a large number of people and spend so much money to do such a thing?
A trace of venom crossed his eyes, “Wolf, it seems I still treated you too kindly.”
He wanted to retaliate against Sofia, but he didn’t have that kind of courage; however, this disgusting matter he absolutely couldn’t swallow—what had his five-year-old son done to provoke them?
His wife, shivering with cold, asked falteringly, “What’s this Wolf’s background? What conflict do you two have?”
The employee paused for a moment then raised his hand to slap his forehead, “Damn it, I was the one who initially troubled his son and daughter, but… I wasn’t the one who decided this matter. Why come after me?”
His wife was stunned upon hearing this, “Tom, were you the one who struck first at the child?”
“Their kid is a bit older,” Tom answered absentmindedly, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes, “Damn it, this cannot just end like this.”
“Older, but still a child!” his wife couldn’t help but cry out, her whole body trembling, “You can’t let this go, can’t he retaliate? Tell me… why can’t he?”
Upon hearing this, Tom’s face changed; he had always been annoyed by his wife’s nagging, but now, her question truly reminded him—I was only thinking about avenging my own child but forgot the root cause wasn’t even in the Mai Nation right now!
The main reason for his anger was that he was doing his official duty and was not the decision-maker, yet the opposition targeted his family, which was intolerable.
As for whether their children should be implicated, that was a matter for the decision-makers, and in his opinion, those who infringe on the interests of the Mai Nation should also be punished!
Calming down and considering it fairly, Director Wolf himself… was actually exercising his jurisdiction as the immigration bureau’s director.
Immediately, Tom thought of another problem, “Damn, I wonder if I’m the only one being retaliated against.”
Quickly, he received news that his colleague’s family had also disappeared.
The colleague’s situation was even worse than his, a typical clerical worker with poor wilderness survival skills, but the family was lucky to find a small cave and an iron pickaxe with a long-decayed wooden handle.
Relying on that pickaxe, the family of four took turns and managed to dig a very deep hole, which kept them much warmer inside.
Two days later, the family used an ice lens to ignite a fire, and by the time the rescue team arrived, the mother and youngest child were barely alive, hanging on by a thread.
Yet, the ordeal was not over. On the night the second family was found, the commanding officer’s ex-wife went missing—along with their two children.
The officer went berserk, picked up the phone, and called Australia, berating Wolf furiously.
Why would Wolf take that? He said your kids’ lives are none of my business, I’m busy with my kids.
It turned out that although those two employees encountered trouble, the FBI did not correct the situation that had already occurred.
In their view, if we didn’t push further or question an immigration bureau director’s actions, things could end here.
This officer firmly supported this idea—what, were you waiting for us to apologize?
And with Sofia supporting Director Wolf, he got a bit arrogant, believing that the other’s children should return to their normal state—what did they do wrong? Why can’t they go to school anymore?
Of course, the conversation parties are adults, and some things need not be so explicit.
The officer just laughed angrily, you think the FBI is here to serve your family? Believe me, I can ruin you.
Does ruining me help? Director Wolf also let it all out, you didn’t give face to that person, their action was so mild, it was solely because of me.
Thinking of that person’s terror, the officer lost interest in quarreling with this one, the one who didn’t even care for Patricia yet could make Big Boss of Sister Hua’s Fund commit suicide.
If this series of actions was all Sofia acting with resentment, the FBI basically would have no chance to regain face.
Once the officer understood, he stated, regarding your children’s situation, I will take care of it, what about my children and ex-wife?
As long as it can be handled, Wolf didn’t even answer him, just hung up the phone—having a call with the FBI, he certainly couldn’t speak freely.
The officer was stunned on this side—are you waiting for me to handle it, then you will give me the information of my son and daughter?
But in this weather, can those two children last until dawn tomorrow?
He lifted his hand to call again, but somehow stopped abruptly.
Then he lit a cigarette and took deep drags.
Sure enough, when he got to the fifth cigarette, his mobile phone rang to notify him of an email.
The email contained nothing but a coordinate, which he checked—a mountain again.
He immediately made a call to dispatch a helicopter to search.
Due to the timely search, within an hour, they found the three missing people—the ex-wife had absolutely no idea how to survive in the wild, had they arrived a little later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
