This is a decision made by Zhang Ran after careful consideration, and he needs Chen Shanren's cooperation to ensure the safety of Chen Xinyi and the Chen Group, and to stabilize the entire Chen Group. If he can't give Chen Shanren a dose of reassurance, even if he dies, he will not sincerely cooperate with Zhang Ran and Chen Xinyi.

So after weighing the severity, Zhang Ran made such a decision.

"I can guarantee it."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Xintang made a promise. This kind of verbal guarantee seems to be a bit of a child's play at first glance, but it is different for people like Zhang Ran, he doesn't need others to swear to heaven and earth or anything, all he needs is a reason, a reason for him to punish the other party on behalf of heaven and earth once the other party does not fulfill the contract, that's all.

Chen Xintang is very smart, and he naturally knows what kind of person Zhang Ran is opposite him.

So he doesn't want to play tricks in these places, and there is no need to play tricks.

After the two reached a consensus, Zhang Ran nodded and asked Chen Xintang to get out of the car with him, and the two passed through the path on the side of the pier and entered the area of the dock.

Originally, when Chen Shanren and Shadang were still cooperating, the wharf was still operating, but when Chen Shanren was "kidnapped" by Zhang Ran, the operation of the wharf came to a standstill, and after a few days of stagnation, even the daily patrol work seemed to have come to a standstill, and the entire wharf was inaccessible.

For Chen Xintang and Zhang Ran, this is undoubtedly the best opportunity, allowing them to easily find the place where Chen Shanren hid those things, and carry the two large metal safety boxes back to the car.

"Just two boxes? Do you think you'll have cash or gold bars or jewelry? Zhang Ran asked with a smile.

The special metal box has a lock, a combination lock, whether it is Zhang Ran or Chen Xintang, there is no correct password, and they will not try to open it, because Chen Xintang said that once the password is entered incorrectly, this lockbox will explode itself. This is what Chen Shanren said, and Zhang Ran feels that it is also very in line with Chen Shanren's character.

"Probably not, my dad once said that the most valuable thing in the world is people's heads, as long as people still have heads, money is inexhaustible, so he won't store things like cash, but I think the material of this metal box itself seems to be more valuable than gold." As a professional in high-energy physics, he can see the problem at a glance from the metal box.

Zhang Ran also believed that this was not an ordinary metal box, in his past years of mercenary missions, similar metal boxes had only been seen on quite sophisticated equipment, and the prices of those equipment were all astronomical.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go back and open the box, I can't wait."

This trip to the dock went unexpectedly smoothly, and on the way back to Chen Shanren's Tibetan place, Zhang Ran's phone rang again, the number was hidden, and after Zhang Ran picked it up, it was not surprising that Lao Zheng's roar:

"Little Wang Ba Lamb, I fished out your people for you, damn it, I don't know if I don't inquire, this kid has hacked into the Pentagon? Talent, or did you give it to me? ”

"I said uncle, you are so old and retire quickly, can you not be so shameless to rob me of people? Besides, I'm not helping you with the work, you're planning to let the horses run away and not give them grass? ”

"Forget it, you're still as stingy as you were back then, aren't you just a computer programmer, if you want it, grab a handful, forget it."

Lao Zheng's words were still so crisp, anyway, Zhang Ran didn't hear the old man say "goodbye", but fortunately, Bai Ge's voice made Zhang Ran ignore the irritability of talking to Lao Zheng and turn into joy.

"Boss, don't be happy too soon, I've only partially regained my freedom."

"Partial freedom? What do you say? Zhang Ran frowned and asked.

"It's just that I have access to the Internet, and they have provided me with their state-of-the-art computers, which is not bad, but my range of movement is limited to this Internet café."

Zhang Ran showed a wry smile on his face, and said that people's computer rooms were Internet cafes, afraid that Bai Ge was also unique in the world, as for what Bai Ge complained about that there was no good enough coffee, there was no beautiful network manager and female soldiers who accompanied him to talk about life, Zhang Ran automatically ignored them.

"How much time will it take you to determine the specific situation of the old knife, I really don't want to contact the old knife and them through the woman Sally, shame."

"Don't worry, an hour at most"

At the same time as hearing Bai Ge's voice, Zhang Ran also heard the sound of him crackling and tapping on the keyboard, Bai Ge had already started working, and before Zhang Ran hung up the phone, he heard Bai Ge's exclamation again, "Damn, their computers and networks are good, it's much cooler than what Lao Tzu used to play!" ”

Vaguely, Zhang Ran seemed to hear Lao Zheng's voice, as if he was quite proud, he was talking to Bai Ge, the specific content was not audible, probably using these conditions to lure Bai Ge to take the bait.

For Lao Zheng's shameless behavior, Zhang Ran chose to ignore it, if Bai Ge was so easy to be seduced, it would not be Lao Zheng's turn, thinking that whether it was the Pentagon or several European intelligence bureaus, the conditions offered to Bai Ge were far beyond Lao Zheng's imagination, Zhang Ran always believed that so far, those who control Bai Ge, including Lao Zheng, still don't know the true value and bottom line of Bai Ge's kid.

Bai Ge did not disappoint Zhang Ran, although he told Zhang Ran for an hour, but in fact, only half an hour later, he sent a notice to Zhang Ran that he had found the old knife and successfully established a communication network for direct contact between the three parties.

This communication network can always exist, but each call time cannot exceed 59 seconds, and the frequency will be jumped every minute to ensure the confidentiality and security of the network.

Although each call cannot exceed fifty-nine seconds, it is enough for Zhang Ran and others.

Bai Ge was busy going to the Internet to collect more information, while Zhang Ran began to talk directly to Lao Dao.

"It's bad?"

"Yes."

The dull voice of the old knife, after being transmitted on the ground and transmitted by the satellites of various countries in the sky, penetrated into Zhang Ran's ears and seemed a little out of tune, but Zhang Ran was still sure that it was the old knife, especially the old knife's habit of speaking, which was almost difficult for others to imitate.

"Did Kuaishou and Cold-Blooded find it?"

"Nope."

"Can you be sure they're still alive?"

"Alive."

"Have you been contacted?"

"Yes."

"Did you give you a deadline?"

"Three days."

Maybe in this world, only Zhang Ran can get the information he wants from the old knife, and it will be quite difficult for others to communicate with the old knife.

"Three days, that's too short."

"What three days? It's almost there, go straight back? Chen Xintang, who was driving, asked.

"No, go around twice, I'll see if there's a tail." Zhang Ran stopped Chen Xintang from driving back directly, and he wanted to make sure that he was not being followed. Perhaps because Chen Xinyi was in the city government at this time, after the car went around twice, Zhang Ran made sure again that no one was following him and Chen Xintang.

"This matter will definitely not be solved in three days, but what about Africa?"

While waiting for Chen Shanren to open the metal box, Zhang Ran was always thinking about how to solve the dead end in front of him. He didn't even look at what was in the metal box that Chen Shanren had opened.

"Don't!"

Chen Xintang's exclamation woke Zhang Ran from his contemplation, and when he turned his head, he noticed that Chen Shanren was holding a gun in his hand.

The sound of the bullet loading is very clear, Chen Shanren is definitely not the kind of first brother who touches the gun for the first time, and will not make that kind of low-level mistake, as for the model of the gun in his hand, it is also an extremely popular Colt M1911, the power of this pistol has an absolute guarantee in the indoor environment.

"Get me out of here!"

Chen Xintang's persuasion did not interrupt Chen Shanren's thoughts, he pointed a black hole at Zhang Ran with a muzzle and threatened.

"If you want to go, you can go, but I advise you to think carefully, once you get out, how long will you live?" Zhang Ran's body shape has hardly changed, an old fox like Chen Shanren, Zhang Ran doesn't dare to risk testing his bottom line, he is not an immortal, if he accidentally lets Chen Shanren pull the trigger, Zhang Ran is not 100% sure that he will not be shot at this distance.

In normal times, Zhang Ran might choose to Bo, but at this time, even if it is only a minor injury, it may bring serious consequences, so Zhang Ran does not plan to take risks. When he was talking to Chen Shanren, his eyes were glancing at Chen Xintang on the side.

"Xintang, pick up the gun, this person is not simple, a gun may not be able to restrain him!" Instead of listening to Chen Xintang's dissuasion, Chen Shanren ordered Chen Xintang to go to the metal safe to get weapons, and it was obvious that these two metal boxes should have been the items that Chen Shanren had prepared for himself in the worst case, so there were guns inside, and there was more than one.

Chen Xintang was a little hesitant. He is smart, as a research scholar, he naturally has excellent judgment, Zhang Ran is a huge threat in his heart, he can feel from his eyes, if it is not Chen Shanren and his father who are standing by his side at this time, maybe he will make another completely different choice.

However, as a son, it seems to be nature to obey his father's orders, and it is a memory engraved in his bones, so Chen Xintang shook his right hand under Zhang Ran's disappointed eyes, grabbed a gun from the metal box, and another Colt M1911.

"Click!"

The bullet was loaded, but Chen Xintang shook his head at Zhang Ran, "We just want to live, let's go, these things are left to you, we don't want to, we just need to live, just me, and him, he is so old, can't you give him a way out?" ”

"Survival? Didn't I give it to him when I was at the docks? Zhang Ran's expressionless face slowly showed a layer of regret. Although Chen Shanren and Chen Xintang couldn't think of any other means for Zhang Ran to fight back at this time, when they saw this expression on Zhang Ran's face, a feeling of uneasiness rose in their hearts, as if they were being targeted by natural enemies.
