Chapter 1 Cross-Border Operations
After planning the journey, Vera and Alex set off.
First, the two were taken by plane to a small town on the border between China and Myanmar, and Alex had arranged a pick-up in the town.
The receiver was a Burmese boy who was slightly older than Alex, and the two knew each other very well.
The Burmese boy first drove Vera and Alex to the foot of a mountain in an off-road vehicle, through a forest, picking up a pile of branches and weeds, and finding a cave.
After walking in the cave with a flashlight for more than half an hour, I reached the middle of the mountain and found an underground river, and a bamboo raft with a motor was prepared by the river.
Stepping on the bamboo raft, starting the motor, and by the light of the flashlight, the bamboo raft moves forward in the underground river in the belly of the mountain.
More than 40 minutes later, the bamboo raft followed the underground river out of the mountain, and the three of them finally saw the natural light.
The underground river that flows out of the mountains flows into a small river as a tributary.
The Burmese boy docked the raft to the shore, and there was a boy dressed as a Bai at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
The Bai boy greeted Alex in English, "Hi, I'm Sam."
βLean .β Airy introduced himself in English, then changed to Mandarin Chinese and asked, "Is the car ready?"
"Ready, just outside the woods by the river. β
Alex waved to the Burmese boy on the raft behind him, who returned a goodbye gesture, started the motor again, and went back the way he came.
The Bai boy took Zhen Zhen and Alex and walked through the woods by the river to find a path where a dilapidated SUV was parked.
The Bai boy pointed to the off-road vehicle and said to Alex: "This is a second-hand off-road vehicle, just bought from the second-hand car market, no one will find out your identity based on the car." β
Alex nodded in satisfaction.
The Bai boy drove an off-road vehicle with Zhen Zhen and Alex, and went around the mountains all the way, and finally found the main road out of the mountains, with road signs marked in Chinese.
The off-road vehicle stopped on the side of the road, and the Bai young man got out of the car, "Lean, there is Baishan Town in front." β
"Okay, you go back first. β
The Bai guy listened to Alex very much, didn't ask any questions, just got out of the car and turned to leave.
Alex took the driver's seat and drove the SUV along the main road towards the town of White Mountain.
Zhen Zhen sat in the co-pilot's position, from getting off the plane to now, she has been following Alex across the border, and now that Baishan Town is close at hand, Zhen Zhen finally couldn't help it, and asked curiously: "You arranged the two people just now in advance?"
"Well, they're part of my team, actually, it's the first time I've met them. β
"Team members, your hacker team?"
"Sort of. β
"So trusting the first time we met?"
"To be a team, trust is fundamental. β
"They listen to you so much, are you their leader?"
"Well, everyone on the team has a different division of labor, and I'm the conductor. β
"I thought hackers were working alone. β
"That's a hacker in the narrow sense, my team members come from all over the world, they have a lot of deeds, and they can go down in history when they say it, Sister Zhenzhen, do you want to hear it?"
Alex's tone was proud and ostentatious, and Zhen Zhen didn't want to discourage him, but White Mountain Town was in front of her, and Zhen Zhen nodded in agreement, "I want to hear it, but I will wait until this mission is over." β
A dilapidated off-road vehicle drives into the ancient town of Baishan at sunset.
Entering the town, Alex slowed down and looked around, "Sister Zhenzhen, what should I do next?"
Zhen Zhen had already formed a rescue plan in her mind, "Find a place to rest first." β
Alex was a little surprised, when he was on the cruise ship, the woman in front of him was still anxious, but now when he arrived at the destination, he was slow.
Zhen Zhen explained her plan to Alex, "If Senior Nan is kidnapped here, then there must be a lot of people around to monitor it, and it is convenient to move at night, and when it is night, I will first go to Yunshan Jewelry Store to find Mo Yunshan to verify Li Dazhu's sale of rings, and then go to Leprosy Village to find Li Dazhu." β
"Oh, it's still Sister Zhen who is thoughtful. β
ββ
Alex used GPS positioning to find "Yunshan Jewelry Store".
Yunshan Jewelry Store is located in the downtown area of Baishan Town, and Alex parked his off-road vehicle diagonally across the road more than 50 meters away from the jewelry store.
Through the glass door of the jewelry store, you can see that there are no customers in the store, only a fat man with a thief's eyebrow is sitting behind the counter, looking at the jewelry on the tray with a magnifying glass.
That man was Mo Yunshan, the owner of the jewelry store.
Zhen Zhen stared at Mo Yunshan twice, saw two cameras in the jewelry store, and then looked around, above the jewelry store was a six-story residential building, and opposite was a private hotel.
Zhen Zhen pointed to the private hotel next to her and said, "We'll stay here tonight." β
Alex also seemed to be satisfied, "Well, the location is well chosen, and it can monitor Moyun Mountain's movements." β
Zhen Zhen got out of the car and found the front desk for check-in at the private hotel.
The so-called registration front desk is a long counter more than one meter high next to the corridor on the first floor, and behind the counter sits a fat woman in her forties with curly hair.
"Hello, I want two rooms. Zhen Zhen stood in front of the counter and whispered.
"There's only one left. The fat woman behind the counter was busy playing with her mobile phone and replied without raising her head.
Zhen Zhen hesitated for a moment, and the fat woman shouted impatiently: "It's the tourist season, and other hotels are like this, can't you live?"
"Stay!"
"One hundred and eight a night, a deposit of two hundred, and an ID card. β
When Zhen Zhen fell into the Seine River in Paris, she lost her passport and ID card, only her mobile phone and herself were rescued by Alex, and now she needs her ID card to live in a hotel, where to find it?
Zhen Zhen began to make up the reason, "Uh...... I lost my ID card, can I stay for one night, I can add money. β
The fat woman finally raised her head and stared at Zhen Zhen, her tone became even more impatient, "You must have an ID card to live in a hotel, and the Public Security Bureau will come to check, if you lose your ID card, you won't be able to stay in any hotel." β
Zhen Zhen was still trying to find another reason, but suddenly, a hot figure next to her leaned over.
Alex, who was wearing sunglasses, naturally put his right hand on Zhen Zhen's shoulder, and held two roses made of 100 yuan bills in his left hand, put them in front of the fat woman, and begged with a smile: "Beauty, it's convenient, my girlfriend and I came to Yunnan to play, the bag with the ID was lost, we have reported the case, but we haven't found it yet, you are so beautiful, you must be kinder, you won't see us sleeping on the streets." β
The fat woman held two roses folded into hundred-dollar bills, and then looked at Alex's beautiful face like a demon, and suddenly smiled, "Okay, remember not to make too much noise at night." β
Alex took the room key from the fat woman's hand and smiled even brighter, "Got it, thank you, beautiful sister." β
Alex put his arm around Zhen Zhen's shoulders and returned to the room, and after closing the door, Zhen Zhen knocked off Alex's hand that was still on her shoulder, "I didn't expect that I would be so good at sycophants at a young age, and I knew how to use beautiful men." β
