Chapter 996: Scruples
The other party can snatch the logistics vehicle and escape quickly, and know that there is such an almost isolated village in the forest, and also know that the relationship between the village and the crew is very good, if you want to say that these things are done to people who don't know anything about the surroundings, I'm afraid no one will believe it. Since I am familiar with the environment, it is very likely that I will be a local force.
There are hundreds of people here, and the South African military and police can pull out a large number of helpers if they wish. Even if those people didn't interfere in Lyla's disappearance, everyone's body would not be clean, and arresting them all would only make the peaceful people happier.
Layla has been missing for three days, and Roy doesn't know what she's like now, and he's even more afraid of suddenly getting bad news about her. All kinds of worries tortured him to the point of collapse, and these people were still playing tricks in the tent!
His words made everyone present a little embarrassed. If you want to talk about professionals, almost all of the people present are the elite of the elite. However, they have their own scruples and cannot make too many decisions.
What a layman can see, they won't be able to see? However, if we really want to investigate the nearby forces as Roy said, I am afraid that many civilians will be affected, and it will be troublesome to arouse the anger of the people at that time. That's what Forscar fears the most.
On the other hand, the new elites have more to think about the political aspect. But this is South Africa, someone else's country, and what if they make too exaggerated moves, if they touch certain interests? No matter how elite they are, they can't go too far ahead of national interests.
As a result, this was the simplest and most crude method, which was subconsciously ignored by the elites present.
Now that Roy, a layman, said it bluntly, it makes them feel very embarrassed, if it spreads, saying that so many of them are not as good as a star, won't they be laughed to death by their peers in the future?
"Ahem. One of the new agents coughed lightly: "Actually, we have thought of such a plan, but if we do this, the disturbance to civilians will be too serious, and it may cause a lot of chaos." ”
"So, just sit here and talk about it and get Layla back?" Roy sneered mockingly. He didn't care if he would harass civilians, and Leila didn't know if he was alive or dead, so why he had compassion for someone he didn't know at all.
He just wanted to ...... I just want her to come back safely!
Roy's proposal was not unexpectedly ignored by those present, who could not and did not dare to make such a big move in a foreign land, and once it spread internationally, it would probably have a great impact on the image of the United States. Maybe the above doesn't care about this at all, and if nothing happens, it will definitely be them who are unlucky to be thrown out to take responsibility.
Roy wasn't surprised at all to see this. After they lost Lyra, he no longer expected anything from them in his mind. He even regretted why he had a moment when Xiao brought him here just now that he thought that these people might really be useful. What do you have to be stupid to be so that you haven't given up on these people?
He hated his powerlessness even more. In this unfamiliar place, he couldn't even go out casually with the crew, just because he was worried that the matter of diamonds would make the previous people attack him again.
Before coming, everyone thought that if something happened, it would only be him and Leonardo, because of the diamonds, they became the ones who were rewarded with a high price. Even all the defensive preparations revolved around the two of them. That's why Leila was only followed by three people, because no one expected her to be a target in someone's mind.
That's Leila! The only heir of the Moran family, who is worth tens of billions of dollars! She is the person who will receive the highest attention in any country! How can anyone be so bold as to take her away?
Shaw saw the lights in Roy's room in the dark and knew that he might be going to continue to lose sleep that night. So he knocked on his door, and was not surprised to see Roy open the door with a pair of red eyes.
"I want to talk to you. ”
Roy glanced at him before opening the door to let him in, "What's the matter?" ”
His voice was faint, a kind of utterly emotionless indifference.
Although the two of them were not close in the past, they also talked and laughed, and such indifference only felt a little uncomfortable in Xiao's eyes. But he also knew that he could not be blamed for this. If it is replaced by the person he loves the most is taken away silently, and the capable person is still concerned about this and that, he may behave more excessively.
"Roy, I know you're having a hard time right now. ”
Before he could finish speaking, Roy had already interrupted him: "If you're saying those useless words, then save some effort, I don't want to hear it." ”
Xiao smiled bitterly: "You don't trust others, don't you believe me either?" I owe Leila a great favor, even if everyone doesn't save her, I will go!"
"Huh. Roy tugged at the corners of his mouth without a smile: "I don't want to hear that, if you really have the heart, it's much more useful to do than to say." ”
How can he trust these people? Each one seems to be working hard, and each one is just doing superficial work. Yes, they may have joined forces with South African officials to search for Leila, but they are afraid that they will never find her back.
Xiao took a deep breath: "I can't say anything about those people, but these people I brought, these mercenaries, each of them is very familiar with this place, and they don't need to worry about too many things." These days they have been running outside and looking for many places. So don't lie down until Leila comes back. As he spoke, he threw the bag he had brought on his desk.
Then with a sigh, he turned to leave.
Roy looked at his back, his eyes finally fluctuating. Is what he said true? Can he really believe him?
When he opened the bag he had dropped, he saw several fruits inside, as well as bread and mineral water. Remembering what he had just said, Roy finally sat down at the table with a frown, opened the package of bread and bit it hard.
He's right, he needs more stamina to wait and find news of her, what if he falls now?
He had not eaten or drunk water for several meals, and he struggled to swallow the coarse bread. He wanted to make himself eat something, but even swallowing the bread would only make him want to vomit.
"Damn!" he slammed to his feet, roaring and tossing the leftover bread on the table.
