"So, the other party hasn't called?"

Chen Xinyi was next to Zhang Ran, while Sally was sitting opposite the two of them, next to Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan's face is not very good-looking, and the more intimate Chen Xinyi and Zhang Ran are, the more ugly Zhang Xuan's face becomes.

"We don't take the initiative in this matter, so we can only wait." Zhang Ran was very calm, although he also felt that Chen Xinyi had some taste of fake play, but as a man, he really couldn't raise the will to resist.

Zhang Xuan, who was frowning, took out the mobile phone that suddenly rang in his pocket and looked at it, it was a text message. Putting down the phone, Zhang Xuan looked at Chen Xinyi and said, "He's back." ”

"Him?" Zhang Ran and Sally were both slightly stunned, if it weren't for some important person, Zhang Xuan would never bring it up at this time.

"It's my favorite cousin and Chen Shanren's son, Chen Xintang. I have been studying abroad, and the eldest lady received a message from him two days ago, saying that she wanted to come back to have a look. ”

Hearing that it was Chen Shanren's son, Zhang Ran was not surprised, he had already known that Chen Xintang was coming back, and when Chen Shanren was interrogated, the other party confessed. For Zhang Ran, this Chen Xintang is a complete stranger, so unfamiliar that he should not make any consideration for him.

"The eldest lady has always had a very close relationship with him when she was a child, and it was not until she was older that she often studied abroad, and gradually lost contact" When Zhang Xuan explained on the side, Chen Xinyi always lowered her head and stirred the coffee with a spoon, round and round.

Zhang Ran could see that Chen Xinyi should be in a contradiction at this time. It is true that she hates Chen Shanren, after all, Chen Shanren murdered her parents regardless of family affection, but it is precisely because of this hatred that she doesn't know how to face her cousin Chen Xintang, who grew up together since childhood and has deep feelings.

On the other hand, Zhang Ran doesn't know if Chen Xintang knows everything, if Chen Xintang knows everything, then what kind of attitude does he use to look at his own father and face his cousin? In fact, these problems are very realistic, and Zhang Ran feels that fortunately he does not have to face it, and his thinking from his shoes will be very nerve-wracking.

"When will he arrive in Kuala Lumpur?"

Chen Shanren's wife died a few years ago, and there is only one son like Chen Xintang, and now Chen Shanren has been placed under house arrest by Zhang Ran, and his home is no longer called home, even if Chen Xintang returns to Kuala Lumpur, I am afraid that no one will pick up the airport.

So Chen Xinyi opened her mouth to ask at this time, and she was afraid that she would still make up her mind to pick up her cousin at the airport, no matter what the grievances of the previous generation were, at least between their generation, there was no hatred.

"He's taking off tonight and arriving at noon tomorrow at the latest." Zhang Ran replied.

"Then I'll go to the airport with you." Chen Xinyi said this, but her eyes glanced at Zhang Ran.

"I'll go too." Zhang Ran stretched his waist and spoke.

Of course, Sally will not come to this troubled water, but she also said that the people in charge of Chen Xinyi's safety in the Blood Rose will follow up, anyway, no matter where Chen Xinyi is, the eight female mercenaries will follow them twenty-four hours a day, just like now, they are guarding the door outside.

Just said this, Zhang Ran's mobile phone screen on the table suddenly lit up, and instinctively, Zhang Ran reached out to pick it up, but was pulled by Sally, "Let's see, it's not the other party." ”

Zhang Ran understood, stretched his neck to look at the number, and then nodded.

"Then wait a little longer."

Since Sally said so, Zhang Ran did so, he stared at Sally with both eyes, but he was silently counting in his heart. When he counted until the thirtieth second, Sally nodded and asked him to answer the phone.

"Zhang Ran, do you really not care about Bai Ge's life at all?"

Because of Sally's gesture, Zhang Ran turned on hands-free.

"It doesn't matter who you are, I'm really busy right now, so be it, you tell my assistant." Zhang Ran did not fall into the rhythm of the other party's conversation, but very decisively pushed the phone in front of Sally.

"Assistant?" It was clear that the other party was surprised and surprised at the same time. Sally cooperated very well, and immediately spoke: "Yes, I am Sabre's assistant." ”

"Can you represent him with full powers?" The other party immediately accepted Sally's identity, which made Sally's brows furrow slightly, but she replied without a pause: "Of course." ”

"Very good, then we don't have to go around in circles, Bai Ge's life is in your hands, or in your mouth, what I want to say next, you must hear it clearly, and at the same time, let Zhang Ran hear it clearly." It seems that the other party also guessed that Zhang Ran was not really unavailable to answer the phone, but they still accepted Zhang Ran's tricks.

"Please." Sally was noncommittal.

"We can let Bai Ge go, but before we release him, we need you to do a few things."

"Wait a minute, Bai Ge is just one person, why do we need to do a few things? If your demands are beyond our capabilities, or that your demands may result in serious casualties, then according to the mercenary code, our only choice is to give up Bai Ge, and I believe that Bai Ge knows this. ”

Sally decisively interrupted the other party's words and first clarified some facts, that is, blocked some unreasonable demands of the other party and occupied an advantageous position in the negotiation.

"Don't worry, these things may be very risky for others, but for the mercenary group led by Sabre, it shouldn't be difficult."

"I'm just making our position clear, as for whether it's difficult or not, it's not up to you to have the final say, but we have the final say."

"Can I think that your attitude shows that you don't really care about Bai Ge's life or death?" The other party asked with some fire.

"Can I think that in fact, you care more about Bai Ge's life and death than we do?" Sally used the other party's words to interrogate the other party, and the sharpness of the words made Zhang Ran, who was listening on the side, bow down.

"What a sharp-toothed little girl, won't you listen to our request first?"

"I've always wanted to hear it, it's just that you're wasting your time."

Perhaps feeling that she couldn't beat Sally in words, the other party simply gave up the verbal confrontation and went straight to the point.

"First, we need the information in Lin Feng's hands, second, we need you to help solve a matter in Africa, and third, we hope to get a promise, Bai Ge or your hackers will never attack our network in the future."

"Finally, you should talk to Bai Ge directly about the promised things." Sally responded to the other party's third request first, and as for the first and second requests, to be honest, Sally was not qualified to nod yet.

"Sabre, I know you're here, come out, we don't want to talk to an outsider about these things."

Somehow, the other party's tone suddenly changed, and the spearhead was directed at Zhang Ran, which made Zhang Ran feel very surprised, and after nodding to Sally, he picked up the phone, "What do you want to talk about?" Lin Feng's information, I don't know how much information he has in his hands, so I can't meet this request at all, unless I hand it over to you, as for the mission you said in Africa, that's really embarrassing, if you want to talk about business, we welcome it, but the premise is that we need to understand the real situation of the mission so that we can make an assessment, since you have captured Bai Ge, you should know that our situation in Africa is not very good now. ”

"Isn't the Blood Rose helping you? Judging from the information I have just received, there is no crisis for you in Africa for the time being. Although from the standpoint of business cooperation, we can indeed cooperate with you in the normal way, but the problem is that we can't come forward, you know what I mean? We can't hire you on our own behalf, and once it gets out, it's going to be a huge scandal. ”

"Actually, it's not just you guys doing something like this, right? The so-called can't come forward directly, it's just a fig leaf. ”

"For these three requirements, you think about them carefully, and if you can, I can send you the details of the first and second requirements immediately."

"Then you send it first, and we'll contact you after researching."

I have to say that Sally's nonsense in it is still quite useful, at least it makes Zhang Ran feel that he is equal to the other party now, even if Bai Ge is still in the hands of others, but when the two sides talk about the next things, no one mentions Bai Ge's safety and only these two issues.

"What do you think?"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran asked everyone.

"It seems that they are not in a small trouble, according to me, the first and third are not a problem, the real problem should be the second, what kind of work do they have in Africa, but it is inconvenient for them to do it themselves." Chen Xinyi was analyzing, but Sally had already taken out her mobile phone and kept operating something.

"Found it, it should be this."

"What's that?"

Zhang Ran and Chen Xinyi looked at Sally's mobile phone on the desktop at the same time, it is good to say that technology has advanced now, the screen of the mobile phone is large enough, so that the picture above shows the location of the news, it should be Africa.

And the content of the news, Zhang Ran frowned when he saw it.

He knows that the country has a lot of interests in Africa, and these interests are basically lost from the economic point of view, and a large amount of resources and aid are given to Africa, and outsiders or laymen can't understand the meaning, especially those almost free aid, most of which have become decorations or directly scrapped in Africa, but the country seems to be tired of it, happy in it.

If there is a vision, people with deep enough thinking can naturally find out the mystery through careful analysis, a country to develop, like the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the past closed off the country is not advisable, in the end will only be eliminated by the world, China is a country with a strong sense of power, no matter which leader comes to power, all hope to be able to seek a greater voice in world affairs, these discourse rights are definitely not closed doors to achieve it.

The country needs to go out, and how can it go out at the lowest cost? Most countries despise money, and the value of things printed on paper can depreciate at any time, and if countries want to negotiate with them, the cost can often touch the core interests of the country.
