"Xinyi, I don't agree with your idea, the Chen Group should not get involved in the smuggling business, and besides, you are like this...... Over there, the Chen Group and the Saber Mercenary Group will be regarded as one......"

"Uncle Zhang, everyone has worked hard today, rest early."

Before Zhang Ran's words were finished, the car had already stopped in the special parking lot of the Chen Group headquarters building, Chen Xinyi opened her mouth to interrupt Zhang Ran's words, ostensibly being polite to Zhang Xuan, but in fact, she didn't want Zhang Xuan to hear what Zhang Ran was going to say next.

Obviously, Chen Xinyi guessed Zhang Ran's thoughts, so she sent Zhang Xuan away.

"Ouch, I just interrupted you, why bother with a stinky face? Uncle Zhang is a person, but he doesn't see the problem far-reaching enough. ”

"Far-reaching?" Zhang Ran pursed his lips slightly, he wasn't really putting on a face, it was just a habit, "It's not good for a company to mix up with a mercenary group, Blackwater is such a big stall, but no company has ever sponsored Blackwater in the open, why is this?" ”

There are no outsiders, Chen Xinyi behaves like a girl in front of Zhang Ran, not a domineering female president, she shook Zhang Ran's left hand and said, "Look at it, look at it, you just don't believe me." Yes, Blackwater doesn't have any sponsors on the surface, but it's not like I haven't investigated, hum, several well-known weapons companies and arms dealers are secretly funding Blackwater, not only giving funds, but also giving them the latest weapons, it's just a secret that everyone doesn't want to say. ”

But Zhang Ran didn't expect that Chen Xinyi had investigated these things so deeply, maybe these are indeed secrets that everyone knows, when just as Chen Xinyi herself said, it is a secret that cannot be said, if Chen Xinyi's words were brought up in public just now, maybe someone will assassinate Chen Xinyi tomorrow.

Therefore, Zhang Ran turned his face and reprimanded Chen Xinyi: "This kind of thing must not be said in public, even in private, you must never say it again!" ”

"If you don't say it, let's go upstairs." Chen Xinyi was reprimanded by Zhang Ran, but she didn't have too much dissatisfaction, she really looked like a woman in love, pouting her red lips slightly, but she never let go of her hands holding Zhang Ran.

In the elevator, there were only Zhang Ran and Chen Xinyi, and the bodyguards of Blood Rose had already withdrawn, after all, Chen Hi Group should be relatively safe, and the two of them seemed extremely ambiguous at this time, so they avoided it very wisely.

"Zhang Ran, speaking of which, you haven't seen my parents for a long time, it's not too late, let's go up together?"

"It's late, isn't it?" Zhang Ran's face was a little tight, he was not afraid of Chen Xinyi's bookish parents, but he just felt that seeing his parents was too early? But Chen Xinyi has been obsessed with her side, even if Zhang Ran pressed the floor, after the elevator arrived, Chen Xinyi was still unwilling to let Zhang Ran get off the elevator, dragging his arm, twisting his body to prevent Zhang Ran from taking a step.

"Mr. Chen, Zhang Ran!"

The elevator door opened, and a tall figure appeared at the door, seeing the scene of the two people entangled in the elevator.

Zhang Ran looked at it and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, it was none other than Sally who was sitting at the headquarters at the elevator door.

"Something?"

If Sally just happened to be about to get on the elevator, she should have turned around and walked away at this time, but she always stood there, looking at Zhang Ran and Chen Xinyi with fixed eyes. With Sally's character, she will definitely not be frightened by the actions between the two, which can only show that Sally did not just pass by.

"I saw you coming back in the monitoring room, and I'm waiting for you here."

If Sally hadn't said this with a sinking face, I'm afraid Chen Xinyi would feel uncomfortable, after all, the last time I saw the two of them in bed, even if it has been explained, it is always a shadow. When Zhang Ran opened her mouth to ask Sally, Chen Xinyi took the initiative to let go of Zhang Ran, it seemed that it was impossible for Zhang Ran to go upstairs to see her parents tonight, so it was better to stay and see what Sally was looking for Zhang Ran.

"There's something going on in Africa."

Sally leaned sideways and let the two out of the elevator, and before the elevator door could close, she spoke.

"Africa?" Zhang Ran instinctively stopped, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and at the same time he dialed Bai Ge's phone, "What's the matter?" ”

"Oh my boss, why doesn't your phone have a signal? What are you playing with that domineering female president, even if it's cheating, you don't have to hide from me, my God, there's something wrong with Wuying! Bai Ge began to complain as soon as he connected the phone, which made Zhang Ran confused.

But fortunately, he quickly reacted, looked at Sally and said, "Is it a shadow?" ”

Under Sally's nod, Zhang Ran immediately didn't care about Chen Xinyi anymore, and strode towards his room.

"What's going on?" Following Zhang Ran's steps, Chen Xinyi asked Sally.

"Shadowless Leader, she took someone to Libreville through a special channel, who knew that she was intercepted halfway!"

"Halfway?" Chen Xinyi was slightly stunned, with an incredible look on her face. There are only two modes of transport to get from São Tomé to Libreville, one is by plane and the other is by boat. It stands to reason that it would be impossible for those without a shadow to travel to Libreville by means of airplane, given their complex personnel and the large amount of arms they carry.

So the only means of transport that could be used was by boat.

In fact, the sea route from São Tomé to Libreville was not far, and the fast steamer could cross the strait in about twelve hours, of course, in good weather, and in the event of a storm or some bad weather, only God would know.

And what Sally said just now is very clear, Wuying and the others were "intercepted", not "blocked", that is to say, it is not the weather or sea conditions, but man-made reasons.

At the same time, Zhang Ran's call with Bai Ge was still continuing.

The reason why Zhang Ran wants to go back to his room is because it can ensure that the call between the two is not monitored, and at the same time, the video call can be smoother, which is more intuitive. When Chen Xinyi and Sally followed Zhang Ran's footsteps and rushed in, a nautical chart happened to appear on the display screen in front of Zhang Ran.

Although it is not a very intuitive satellite photo, in fact, if you really need a satellite photo, Bai Ge is not out of reach, but there may not be a satellite passing through that sea area at the time of the incident, so there is no need to do that.

Sally recognized at a glance that the area shown on the chart was the only way from São Tomé to Libreville, and there was a virtual pen moving on the display, and Chen Xinyi and Sally both guessed that it was Bai Ge who was demonstrating to Zhang Ran.

"That's it, that's how it happened, judging by the information we've gathered so far."

"How?" Chen Xinyi didn't hear the previous words, of course she had to ask.

"I'm going to Africa, it's best to leave early tomorrow morning, but Bai Ge said that the flight is not suitable, can you help arrange it?"

In fact, when Chen Xinyi and Sally came in, Zhang Ran already knew, but he was busy at the time. At this time, Chen Xinyi spoke, and he turned around to face the two of them, and after seeing his face, Chen Xinyi and Sally changed their faces together.

They had never seen Zhang Ran in such a state at this time!

The red eyes, the green tendons, the tightly closed lips, and the extremely protruding cheeks, even if you can't see it, you can know that Zhang Ran's teeth must be clenched very tightly, very tightly.

"Zhang Ran, you...... You okay? Looking at Zhang Ran, Chen Xinyi felt as if her heart was grabbed by someone's hand, and she couldn't tell whether it was pain or nervousness, in short, it was uncomfortable tight.

"It's okay! Bai Ge, arrange ...... for me" Zhang Ran's voice was squeezed out of his teeth, but the voice coming out of the intercom was a little helpless: "Boss, I really can't help with this, you should know where I am now, if you want to handle these things, you can't just rely on the Internet......

"I'll do it anyway."

Sally, who had not been silent, finally opened her mouth at this time. Zhang Ran frowned and turned to Sally, "Early tomorrow morning?" ”

"I'm not sure about that, but try to get the fastest flight......

"No need, I'll arrange it, it's definitely too late to take a commercial flight, I'll call Uncle Zhang, our Chen Group has its own business jet!" Chen Xinyi interrupted Sally's words, although she didn't want Zhang Ran to go to Africa at this juncture from the bottom of her heart, but seeing Zhang Ran's expression at this time, Chen Xinyi suddenly felt the true weight of Wuying in Zhang Ran's heart.

"Good! Xinyi, I thank you in advance. ”

"Say thank you and you'll be out, but when I'm done arranging the plane, can you tell me what's going on?"

Zhang Ran nodded, in fact, there is nothing to keep secret, but it was the ship that Wuying and the others were riding on and disappeared halfway.

Speaking of which, it is extremely normal for a ship or two to go missing on the sea, but as long as you have the heart to look for it, you can always find some clues with modern technology. After positioning himself through satellites and other means, Bai Ge determined that the ship of Wuying and the others had never left the strait between São Tomé and Libreville, unless it had passed under the water.

However, through the communication monitoring of ships sailing in this sea area, Bai Ge can also be sure that the ship is definitely not floating on the surface of this sea area.

In other words, Bai Ge was 90 percent sure that the ship had sunk, just above the sea between São Tomé and Libreville.

Was it an unknown maritime disaster or an encounter with armed forces such as pirates?

If it is the former, Bai Ge thinks that it is definitely impossible to be silent, and if it is the latter, Zhang Ran feels that Africa should not be able to find a pirate who is stronger than the armed force of the ship Wuying, and it stands to reason that only Wuying still wants to rob others, and will never be robbed by others.

The fact is that Wuying and others are missing, and she originally planned to go to Libreville to help Lao Dao rescue those hostages, but the final result was to fulfill an old Chinese saying: "If you don't succeed in the division, you will die first." ”

The flight has been scheduled, Chen Xinyi has red eyes and packs up for Zhang Ran.

"If, I mean if, you can't find the Shadowless ......"
