Chapter 225: Transactions
When Li Qingyuan took Sophie to find Ning Changqing's support team, all ten people were suffering from multiple wounds, and Chen Jianhong, who was the most seriously injured, was hit in the right rib and pierced the lobe of his lungs, and his life was in critical condition. m.
The miserable appearance of this group made Sophie full of guilt, all because of her, except sorry that she couldn't do anything.
"Qingyuan, Li Shaodong, who came to Mosul with me, doesn't know what happened, can you contact him?"
"Uh! You never mentioned that there was a companion, I thought you were alone! What is his phone number, I'll call one. ”
In the past few days, Li Shaodong has been mixed in the hospital in the old city of Mosul, and he has set up a camera as a reporter to interview the wounded who come and go, but he has not been picked out by the US soldiers, and his small life is quite nourishing.
Two days ago, his mobile phone ran out of battery, and he didn't dare to make calls to the outside world, so he could only stare at those soldiers every day, hoping that they would evacuate as soon as possible.
Early this morning, the city of Mosul was full of gunfire, and he didn't know what was going on, but it didn't take long for the American soldiers near the hospital to be transferred, and he bravely ran to a digital city two blocks away to buy a charger to charge his phone.
Li Shaodong had just charged the electricity in the juice shop next to the Digital City for a few minutes, and the mobile phone rang, tremblingly opened the mobile phone flip cover, and an unfamiliar number was displayed on the screen, he gritted his teeth and connected the mobile phone: "Hey!"
After the call was connected, Li Qingyuan handed over the mobile phone to Sophie, and it was more reliable for her to contact Li Shaodong.
"Brother Dong, are you okay?"
"Sophie, have you escaped from Mosul?" Li Shaodong asked in a low voice, holding his phone sideways.
"I'm at West Side Etham Hospital, and a friend was injured and needed surgery. ”
"Coincidentally, I've been hiding in the West Side's Aysavas Hospital for the past few days, which is very close to the U.S. military base, and I've been worried these days. ”
"Brother Dong, now you don't need to hide in Tibet, take your 'things' to the US military base and find someone named Yue Hao, and he will arrange for you to return to Baghdad. Sophie asked Li Qingyuan for Yue Hao's number and reported it to Li Shaodong.
Li Qingyuan asked the chief surgeon in the Aisavas Hospital and knew that the operation could not be completed in three or five hours, so he asked Ning Changqing and Chen Tianye, who had bandaged the wounds, to bring back Li Junwei's bones, and for the sake of his lost future, he took Li Junwei's life now, and I don't know if anyone else will die because of him in the future.
Li Qingyuan was full of guilt, but no matter what, since he couldn't bring him back alive, then at least he had to bring the bones back to the country for peace.
Seeing Ning Changqing and Chen Tianye drive away, Li Qingyuan sat down on the steps in front of the hospital building, and the oncoming sunlight shone on his body, which made him feel relieved.
The world is full of sunshine, but there are countless people living in darkness.
Sophie, who took off her individual armor, finished treating the wound on her thigh in the hospital, came to him on crutches, took a deep breath in the sun, and said: "I have been living in the dark for the past three days, it was Li Junwei who brought the sunshine to let me survive, but he was not so lucky, only blame me for being too willful, it turns out that this world is not as friendly as I imagined!"
"This world is only friendly to the strong, and weakness is the original sin!"
Sophie put down her crutches, sat down next to his left, looked up at his side face, and asked, "You're a strong man now, aren't you?"
Li Qingyuan turned his head and smiled at her
, said: "If I am counted as a single entity, the group is not counted, this time in order to save you, we can be regarded as a compromise with the US military, the video you shoot can't be on TV, and it can't be reported, which is why they let you go." ”
"What if I don't agree?"
"That's easy, I'm going to incense your whole family next year. ”
Sophie was silent, her expression revealing a stubbornness.
"Don't be lucky, this matter is not negotiable, you work in the newspaper, I can't send bodyguards to keep an eye on you 24 hours a day, just rely on the means of the old American agent, as long as there is a chance, you have no chance to live. Now that Li Junwei is dead because of you, you have to live on his behalf and don't live up to his sacrifice. ”
Speaking of Li Junwei, Sophie's eyes turned red and said, "Who else is in his family?"
Li Qingyuan stretched out his hand and patted her on the head, and replied: "You don't need to worry about his family, I will take care of them for the rest of my life and let them live a life of fine clothes and food." ”
"I know that you will definitely take care of their lives, but this can't save them from losing their sons, I want to recognize them as godfathers and godmothers, and do my filial piety for Junwei. ”
"That's good, I'll support you, but are you ready to give up your career as a journalist?
"I won't give up my dream, I will wait until one day your strength can protect me from external forces, and I will come out of the mountain again, so you have to work hard!"
"Hey, your idea is very subversive, and the things you want to work on are actually up to me. Li Qingyuan pinched her chin and shook it from side to side.
"You will be my backer in the future, I don't expect you to count on anyone!"
"If you want me to be a backer, then what benefits can I get, and I won't do anything that doesn't benefit!"
"I don't have any benefits, all I have left is this stinky skin now, or I'll make you a bed warmer!" Sophie said naturally, taking his arm.
"Hey, my teacher Su, you're not doing any good, you're trying to kill me! The two tigresses in my family will press me to the ground and rub me to death!"
"Giggles!" Sophie replied with a smile that leaned back and trembled, "If you really get rubbed to death, you deserve it." ”
While talking and laughing, Li Qingyuan's mobile phone rang, and when he opened the phone, Yue Hao's name was displayed on the screen.
"Brother Hao, what instructions do you have!"
"Qingyuan, Sophie's colleague doesn't want to hand over the videotape, so you ask Sophie to do ideological work for him. ”
"Okay, Brother Hao, you give the phone to her colleague. Li Qingyuan handed the mobile phone in his hand to Sophie and said, "Your colleague doesn't want to hand over the videotape, you tell him." ”
"Brother Dong, give them the tape. ”
"Sophie, we worked so hard to keep the tape, but we didn't hand it over to them to destroy!"
"We can still find a way to make another copy of the video when we hand it over, and if our lives are gone, there will be nothing. Qingyuan has paid a lot of price for us this time, one of his subordinates is dead, and another is being rescued, we can't make it difficult for him for our own selfish interests. ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and he replied, "I see!"
"That's it, how can you thank me!" Sophie said as she handed him the phone.
Li Qingyuan stuffed his mobile phone into his trouser pocket and replied: "You are putting the cart before the horse, if you can't convince him to hand over the videotape, I will have to protect you for the rest of my life, you should thank me!"
"Aren't you going to protect me for the rest of my life?" said Sophie, suddenly, with some grief.
"It's okay to protect you for the rest of your life, but there are all kinds of ways, you don't want me to send someone to listen to you on your wedding night!"
"you!" Sophie slapped him hard.
Li Qingyuan pretended to shrink his shoulders, rubbed his hands, and said, "Who would dare to marry you in the future!"
"Humph!" Sophie flicked her fist at him.
"Okay, don't kid you, give me the videotape you put away, this thing is really going to kill people, you don't want to hide it. ”
Sophie's face immediately fell, and she said, "Can't you leave it for me as a souvenir?"
"It's still a memorial to memorial, you choose for yourself!"
Sophie struggled for a while, reluctantly, "Okay, okay, the thing is under the first tree next to the pier of the Ahmiriya Bridge, and I'm buried there." ”
Li Qingyuan nodded with satisfaction and called Ning Changqing and asked him to bring things back.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Jianhong's surgery was successfully completed, and his life was safe, which is good news.
Caffoli took the two video tapes in his hand, and watched intently as Yue Hao took Li Shaodong away and drifted away, now the only thing he can be sure of is that Yue Hao must be a Chinese, but it is unknown what force he belongs to, but no matter which force he belongs to, he doesn't want to have anything to do with him again, such a big killing god has such powerful equipment, and if he is faced again, it will be a death, it seems that he should apply for the transfer of the first brigade back to the mainland as soon as possible, and the ghost place in the Middle East can't stay.
Miller, the commander of the intelligence company on the side, approached him and said, "Sir, do you want to investigate which force these people belong to?"
Caffoli glanced at him and said angrily: "This time this person really wants our lives, do you think any of us can escape? Don't take other people's concessions as cowardice, the United States is not as strong as you imagined, and Huaxia is not as weak as you imagined." ”
"The chief thinks this person is from Huaxia?"
"Two reporters from China, who do you think has the leisure to go on this trip?" said Caffly, sneering, thinking that Miller was very brainless.
"If the yellow-skinned monkey has such good equipment, we should want to report it to our superiors. ”
When Caffoli heard this, his eyes froze, and he replied: "This time we have lost one Apache, many Humvees and M3 cavalry chariots, and more than 100 soldiers.
"And how can we report such a big loss?" Miller hesitated.
"You go and put away the lost equipment, put up a bomb and blow it up again, make a big noise, and then report to your superiors that another terrorist has attacked our base. ”
"Yes sir! I'll do it right away. ”
Miller hurried away, and with a gloomy face, Caffrey pondered for a moment, called his personal guard, gave a few orders, and the guard took the order.
In the report materials on the evening of the third day, there was such a sentence: Captain Jeremy Miller, who was in charge of intelligence collection and analysis, committed suicide by drinking bullets on the night after the attack because he had not discovered the terrorists' attack intentions during many intelligence gatherings, causing heavy losses to the 1st Brigade.
