Lin Rui followed Duncan into the room inside. This room is supposed to be a warehouse, it is a large area, but it is separated by medical plastic film. A group of people on the side were performing a nervous operation on Zhao Jianfei, "anesthetic", "cleaning the wound", "hemostat...... The voices of several doctors came very calmly.

Aladdin looked at Lin Rui who came in and said in a low voice, "Mr. Rick, please come here, so as not to disturb the operation, although they are all very professional surgical experts." But I think they should need a quiet environment too. ”

Duncan stepped forward and pushed Aladdin's wheelchair to the side.

"When did you arrive?" Lin Rui walked up to him and whispered.

"Just a little bit earlier than you guys. Aladdin whispered, "And IMHO, the current situation is not promising." You have escaped the blockade, but tomorrow they will find it. So we have to help Zhao Jianfei complete the operation before dawn tomorrow and stabilize his condition. ”

"You mean the FBI will find out here?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes, and not just the FBI, but the Secret Society. Aladdin whispered. "The strategist missed, but there were more powerful people waiting behind him. ”

"You mean the Grand Duke of the Secret Society?" Lin Rui said after a moment's hesitation.

"Yes, the Grand Duke of the Order knows that Maklovsky will definitely do something to me. But he deliberately pretended not to know, and when the strategist missed, he would become the starting point for a second attack. Aladdin said slowly. "Because he knew that Maklovsky would slow me down. And the FBI will control this area, like a pair of iron pincers holding me down. In a situation like this, he was enough to strike a fatal blow at me. ”

"No, the Crystal and O2 players are gone, which means you have time to evacuate. Then why haven't you left yet?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Because you're not gone yet. I asked Duncan to bring you out, so I couldn't have left Duncan behind. Aladdin whispered.

Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "You know our rules, even if we are arrested, it is impossible for us to confess to our employer." So, you can choose not to save us. ”

"I'm not entirely looking out for you. Aladdin whispered, "If I don't save you, I'll be sorry and maybe a little guilty." If you can live to my age, you will understand that guilt is not a good feeling. The older a person gets, the easier it is to recall the past, and if the memories are full of guilt, it will be a kind of torment. ”

"Thank you, it would have been difficult for us to escape without you. Lin Rui looked at him and said. "And there's absolutely no need for you to take that risk for us. ”

"Maybe it's because I appreciate you. I have never been hesitant to give favors to those I admire. Because I know that maybe one day in the future, I will need you to return the favor to me. I'm a businessman like you, except that you provide services and I'm an investor. Aladdin whispered.

"Aren't you an arms dealer?" Lin Rui frowned.

"An arms dealer is also an investment, and usually you can only get more out of selling arms to a side that is likely to win. I've made this investment countless times in my life. But it's not these things that I'm most satisfied with, it's Duncan. Aladdin smiled, "Of course, the return he gave me far exceeded my investment in him. ”

"Sir, you are exaggerating. You've given me so much more than I can do. Duncan whispered.

"Mr. Duncan was a murderer, and he was an innocent child, eight years old. And an African warlord casually added a few charges to him, identifying him as a child soldier of the * army, responsible for the deaths of four government troops. God, the eight-year-old * army is really young enough. When I found him, he was beaten to death in the worst prison in Africa. Aladdin whispered.

Lin Rui couldn't help but look at Duncan, there were still several obvious scars on his face and neck.

"For the price of two AK47s and fifty rounds of ammunition, I bought this half-dead child. At the time, it was considered a foolish move by many, an investment that would not be recovered. But I could see the stubbornness and unwillingness in the eyes of this child. So I think he's worth investing in, I nurture him, I educate him.

Eight years later, Duncan returned to his homeland, killed the warlord, destroyed the prison, and freed all the people, never to be found. A lot of people think I've failed in my investment. But about three years after that, I was shot and paralyzed. Duncan rushed back to me and helped me push my wheelchair for more than a decade. As a bodyguard, he saved me many times.

So Mr. Rick, a momentary act of kindness may be an investment that will earn you for a lifetime. I'm not just helping you, I'm actually investing in myself. Aladdin whispered.

"Are you sure I'm the same person as Duncan?" Lin Rui raised his eyes to Aladdin and said.

"Yes, if you're not. In that situation, you will leave Zhao Jianfei and escape alone. Aladdin whispered, "If that's the case, you're not worth my investment." ”

"Then you save me once, what do you want me to do for you?" Lin Rui looked at Aladdin and said.

"Do nothing, at least I don't need help right now. Aladdin whispered, "But maybe, I'll ask you for help later." ”

"I can't make any promises to you. Lin Rui shook his head.

"I understand that the more people who don't make promises easily, the more they really make promises. Aladdin sighed, "Duncan, go get the projector there." ”

"Yes sir. Duncan walked over and turned on the projector. An image appears on the wall, a map.

Aladdin whispered, "Mr. Rick, before dawn, I will have my men take you to that area on the map, where someone will pick you up. He'll send you to join your teammates. And then everything here has nothing to do with you. You have successfully completed this mission. ”

"What about you?" Lin Rui frowned.

"We have other arrangements. Aladdin said in a low voice, "I can assure you that I will deal with Zhao Jianfei properly." In fact, he is the one I should be most grateful for this operation. So you can rest assured. ”

Lin Rui turned his head to look at Zhao Jianfei, who was undergoing surgery, and nodded silently.

"Duncan, you go and arrange to send him away. In addition, after Zhao Jianfei's surgery, we had to destroy everything here, all traces and materials after half an hour. Then, we evacuated before dawn. Aladdin looked up at the moon in the distance and whispered, "As much as I love the moonlight this night, the sky will always be bright." ”
