Chapter 66: Intersections
The well-dressed waiter turned on the light by the door, and the surrounding area was opulent: "This is our best suite, please allow me to introduce you to the rooms." β
"Thanks, no need." Meng Bang took out a tip and handed it to the waiter, and brought the key to the gold-rimmed pendant.
"Thank you very much, you are so generous." The waiter took the tip and stepped back to the door, "Did you want the iced champagne and caviar delivered to this room as well?" β
"Yes."
Koloe stood in the middle of the room, stunned by the spacious, elegant dΓ©cor that surrounded her. She admired it, but it was hard to make it her home. Chloe even felt a little afraid of getting dirty when she was visiting the gallery, so she stood there and watched as she walked around the room.
"No problem, just ......" Meng Spur turned back and handed the key to Chloe, "I didn't find where the stationery was, I guess it wouldn't interfere with your writing." β
"Poof." Chloe took the key, covered her face and giggled, "You're right, you're a big badass. β
"Okay, then I won't bother. Good night. With that, Meng Zhu nodded to Chloe and walked out the door.
"Ah, but ......"
Chloe spoke quietly, and by the time she turned around, Meng had closed the door and left the room.
"Damn stinky fellow!" Chloe pursed her lips and blew on the golden retriever on her forehead. Only then did she realize that the sandy brown paper envelope that Meng Ji had received from the front desk had forgotten in her hand.
Chloe winked her eyes mischievously: "If you don't look at it, I'm so sorry for my profession." With that, she bypassed the thin white thread that tied the seal.
At this time, Meng Zheng was thinking about Jin Jiangji, and he intuitively felt that it should be a call from the little princess.
Back in the room, he lifted his legs and sat down on the bed, grabbed the phone, and pressed the function key a few times. That's right, it's indeed a call from Shinmaru Miyako Airport in the castle tower. He took out his phone from his pocket again, but it ran out of battery, and he angrily threw it aside.
Just then, the phone rang again.
Meng Zhu looked down and saw that it was that number. He reached out and picked up the receiver to answer, the other party's voice was not unfamiliar, and Meng Ji knew that this was Jin Jiangji's old ground service squad leader, and they had met after the battle of Castle Castle Town.
The old squad leader's voice was very anxious: "Mr. Meng, I finally got in touch with you"
Meng Zhen frowned: "What's the matter?" β
"Something must have happened to our golden princess......" As he was saying this, his voice suddenly became smaller, and it was the old squad leader who suddenly shouted in the other direction, "Hey! The second class pays attention to concealment! There are snipers on the west side! After shouting these words, the ground crew leader turned back and continued, "We have been attacked by mercenaries here. β
"What's going on? Where is Jin Jianghime? "Meng Zhen heard gunshots and loading in the background sound of the phone.
"I don't know, she got on an unmarked Il-76 about 2 hours ago...... the old squad leader replied, "Mr. Meng, listen to me, I'm very nervous here, I can't go into details." After Princess Kim took off in the Il-76, we were attacked by mercenaries. It's just a small assault, and we're totally up to it...... But just now, the Golden Princess's beacon locator was activated, but the signal was very unstable......"
"Beacon locator?" Meng was a little surprised. This is a miniature signal transmitter activated by the pilot in distress, which is convenient for search and rescue personnel to locate and find their own location.
"Yes, the princess must have had an accident." The old squad leader said, at this time, the other side of the earpiece fell into silence, the gunfire stopped, and the ground crew leader also calmed his tone, "We decoded the number of jΓΉ, and the coordinates of the locator made a rapid vertical drop......"
"What did you say!" Meng stood up with a bang.
"Yes, we also regret it very much, which indicates a crash...... Wait a minute! Before the old squad leader could finish speaking, there was a sound of gunfire and the sound of glass breaking in the earpiece, and the sound was very close.
Beads of sweat oozed from Meng's forehead, and he knew that there was a fierce battle going on on the other side. But what happened to Jin Jiangji, he didn't dare to think about it, so he could only wait for the old squad leader to continue.
There was no sound on the other side, and there was a dead silence. There is no way to be in a hurry, the other side is dealing with snipers, which requires patience.
At this moment, Meng Zhu heard the doorbell ringing outside the door. He frowned, but didn't respond. But at this time, the doorbell rang several times in succession, followed by a rapid knock on the door. This is not a waiter, and the waiter definitely does not knock on the door continuously in the middle of the night.
Meng Shu picked up the cordless telephone receiver and put it to his ear, took off his leather shoes, stood up, walked barefoot to the door, and looked out through the eyes of a cat. He pursed his lips and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Chloe, dressed in a nightgown and holding a sand-yellow brown paper envelope in her hand, with a very nervous expression.
Meng Bang held up the phone and stood in the doorway, not saying a word.
He was waiting for the old squad leader to respond, and he was waiting for Chloe to speak.
Chloe looked anxious and a little panicked, as if something big was going to happen soon. But she didn't say anything when she saw Meng Bang holding up the phone.
Meng Zhu turned sideways and politely made a "please come in" gesture.
There was still silence on the old squad leader's side, and it was conceivable that the other party was locating the sniper's position.
Chloe looked at Meng Bang and motioned to the sofa next to her, made a "please sit" motion, and then sat down on the telephone landline next to the bed. Chloe leaned down on the bed and leaned over, "Can you please listen to me first?" Very urgent. β
Meng Bang covered the microphone and faced Chloe: "What's the matter?" β
"This article jiΓ n," Chloe shook the brown paper envelope in his hand, "very important......"
"Who sent it?"
"I don't know, it's the Eisenberg brothers' armament store."
"I see, it's Hinty." Meng Struck replied, "What did you find?" β
"It's horrible, I ......"
Before Chloe finished speaking, the voice of the old ground staff leader came from the earpiece. Meng Strike raised his hand to stop Chloe, and then listened carefully to the phone. It was the old squad leader who shouted: "I see the lenses flashing!" The sniper didn't move his position, the second squad of fire covered the jungle on the west side, take him out, that stupid boy is nothing big! β
There was a brief silence.
"Kill the sniper, and we'll take back the initiative." After the old squad leader finished speaking, there was a distant roar from the earpiece, like a salvo of rockets. At this time, the ground crew leader took a few breaths, and then said to Meng Zheng, "Mr. Meng! Mr. Meng, yes, the Golden Princess's beacon shows her rapidly descending vertically. But after the beacon had been down for a while, it began to move again, and the altitude, heading, and speed all changed, at least as many as we received. β
"What did you say!" Meng was taken aback, this is completely impossible. Conventional aircraft, especially large transport aircraft such as the Il-76, can only climb or descend gently, and a vertical fall is only likely to cause a crash, and it is impossible to resume flying again.
"We were also very strange. The beacon shows as if it is a change of plane, but how can it be ...... in the air"
"Pass me the number first!" Meng yelled as he turned around and walked past Chloe and took his mercenary mission with his tablet. Chloe also leaned over and lay on Meng's shoulder.
"We've just passed it on."
"Well, I see it." Mont Strike allows the tablet to draw these coordinates and moments on the map. His finger swiped quickly across the screen to load all the nearby commercial, general aviation, military, and other pre-requested routes that could be loaded. Free mercenaries move more casually, so they have to be very careful about mid-air collisions. As a result, the information system that mercenaries are equipped with is sometimes more comprehensive. "That's right, UN's Il-76 just passed over there and has lost contact...... "he muttered to himself, "new coordinates...... Yes! β
"What's wrong! Mr. Meng? "The ground crew leader seems to have solved the trouble with the sniper, and his attention is starting to turn to the sniper.
Chloe, on the other hand, got out of bed with her legs lifted and sat down on the ground in front of Meng Zheng, still with an anxious face, wishing that he would hang up the phone and listen to herself.
Meng Zhu said to the old squad leader on the other side of the earpiece: "An-124, Jin Jiangji's beacon indicates the trajectory exactly the same as a commercial An-124 transport plane, and she is on that An-124. The original Il-76 lost contact, and looking at this situation, it is believed that it has crashed. He clamped the phone receiver between his head and shoulders and operated the tablet with both hands.
"An-124?"
"Yes. An-124 of Volga Cargo. β
"How is that possible. The princess must have boarded the UN's Il-76 and changed planes in the air? It's so bizarre, could it be that the Il-76 is flying on the route of the An-124? Or two planes flying in close proximity. β
"Impossible, the Il-76 will not descend vertically." Meng's tone was categorical, "It doesn't matter, now that Jin Jiangji is on that plane, I don't care what model it is!" He said, continuing the operation, "OhβI see. The consignor is Owari Manpower Co., Ltd., which is one of the companies in the Owari Group. β
"Owari-gumi? How are they again. β
"The plane will land at Dengkor Air Base in the new eastern capital." Meng Ji said as he retrieved the traffic route map of the new eastern capital, and then stood up, "I'll go find her." β
"Okay, then please." The old squad leader said in the earpiece, "Mr. Meng, originally, the affairs of our princess should be solved by ourselves. But...... My feeling is that maybe the person Princess Jin needs is you, and you must bring our princess back safely, if she is still ......"
"No problem!" Meng Zheng stood up, and there were sporadic gunshots across the earpiece, "Good luck over there, old squad leader." β
"Also, I wish you a good luck."
Meng Bang hung up the phone, raised his hand to look at his watch, and said to Chloe at his feet, "You heard, I'm going to Dengkor Air Base." You go back to your room right away, my room may not be safe, you know, people kept coming in and out yesterday. β
Chloe stuck out her tongue, and she was one of the people who had been in and out of the assault room yesterday. But as if she suddenly remembered something, she grabbed Meng's trouser leg and stood up: "You said Dengkor Air Base? Don't go! I know, it's the Owari gumi's weapons black market, and I investigated it before I came. β
"How about that?" Meng Zhu smiled crookedly.
"You're going to be killed!"
"Hah, maybe. But the guys in the Owari group can't do it. Mong pulled Chloe out of the room.
As soon as Koloe turned around, he picked up the sand-yellow brown paper envelope just now, and said to Meng Zheng: "Listen to me, listen to me first, okay, this article is about the wooden man system, and the situation is very dangerous now." If I'm right, the manipulators behind the scenes are in our ...... Oh. β
Chloe was pulled out of the room by the Beatings and returned to her room. "I'm so sorry, Koloi. I'll hear you when I get back. You go back to the room first, it's safe there. β
"Oh, okay then."
Meng Struck looked at Chloe: "Promise me not to reveal a word to anyone, can you do it?" β
"Hmm." Chloe nodded.
"I want them to find a few people to protect you, the friends you saw at night, do you mind?"
"Oh, uh...... Can they not come into my room? Chloe actually had some fear in her heart, and now the events she was involved in were more serious. And the metropolis of the new eastern capital is mixed.
"Well, I promise. I don't want you to get hurt. Meng smiled at Chloe and said, "I hope you can write a good report." β
"Phew-" Chloe looked at Meng Ji's confident smile, and her heart relaxed a little, "Uh, but the content of this article is really important. β
"I'm sorry, I have more important things." With that, he exited Chloe's room and headed for the elevator.
