Chapter 398: The Last Minute
Let Li Zhijie and the three of them go to implement the Zhao'an plan, and they still have to go alone, the danger factor doesn't need to be said much to know how high it is, but what can Lu Shaohua do, Zhao'an is not as threatening as a threat, if it is a threat, even if the other party really subdues it, I'm afraid it will also be a time bomb, in order not to increase the possibility of an outbreak in the future, Lu Shaohua can only show a little sincerity, although there is a potential threat, but Lu Shaohua does not think that the potential threat will be put in the eyes of the other party, Therefore, this potential threat seems to be a threat, but otherwise, it is nothing to those who have the intention of joining the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group.
Li Zhijie and the others worked tirelessly to come to Africa, thousands of miles away, to form a private armed force for Lu Shaohua, and to build a secret base, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, not to mention that over the years, they have made a lot of contributions, and Lu Shaohua will definitely not send them to the guillotine.
But what is the way now, Lu Shaohua has to adopt this method, so while Lu Shaohua is contradictory, he also feels a little sorry for them.
"Hey!" Lu Shaohua sighed, and then continued. "It's very dangerous this time, you have to be careful."
"It's okay, I'm sure to complete the task." Li Zhijie said confidently.
"Hmm." Xie Jianwei and Qian Qian responded at the same time, nodded yes, and echoed Li Zhijie's statement.
"Thank you! Thank you. Lu Shaohua was moved.
Lu Shaohua is really heartfelt, this is his heartfelt words, all along, Lu Shaohua has never said this to Li Zhijie, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to say it, but he has never found the opportunity to find a suitable occasion to say it. And now on this occasion, the timing is also very accurate, and Lu Shaohua said the words that have been hidden in his heart for several years.
Lu Shaohua is the boss, yes, but in Lu Shaohua's cognition, the boss should be more kind to the people below, especially the subordinates like Li Zhijie who are working the front line for Lu Shaohua's selfishness and may pay the price of their lives at any time.
But what else can Lu Shaohua do, he can only express his gratitude in terms of language, as for some other materials, Lu Shaohua will ask himself if he can satisfy them, because the Tiger Roar Mercenary Group has been established for so many years, Lu Shaohua has invested hundreds of billions of dollars, according to normal rules, it should be checked and checked, but Lu Shaohua did not, one is that Lu Shaohua believes in them, and the second is that Lu Shaohua doesn't want to care, they can say whatever they like.
Money is just a number for Lu Shaohua, he is a reborn, although for his own ideals, money is very important, but compared to Li Zhijie, who may pay the price of his life at any time, it is just a pile of useless paper, so Lu Shaohua never cares about this matter, they take it themselves if they need it, which is also what Lu Shaohua has always emphasized to Li Zhijie.
One sentence, one sensational word, came to Lu Shaohua's heart, and at the same time, Li Zhijie and they all heard the weight of Lu Shaohua's words, their faces were unprecedentedly resolute, and their originally cold faces also showed tenderness, like an iceberg melting, and their eyes also changed slightly, although they did not cry, but it was the first time they had shown this expression since they came to Africa.
"Again, personal safety is the most important thing, if you find something wrong, retreat immediately." Lu Shaohua said in a deep voice.
Although it is very important to fight for Zhao'an to come over, it is not important enough to joke with the lives of three people, if necessary, Lu Shaohua will decisively order not to recruit three mercenary groups and re-recruit people for training, although it is a little slow in time and will delay his plan, but Lu Shaohua will choose to do this when necessary.
"Understood." Li Zhijie responded.
Li Zhijie's words represented the answers of the three of them, because as soon as Li Zhijie's words fell, Xie Jianwei and Qian Qian also nodded.
"That's good." Lu Shaohua glanced at the three of them, gave an encouraging look, and said. "I'll go back first, you can use what you arrange, in short, in a word, in any case, you must take your own personal safety as the premise."
After speaking, Lu Shaohua didn't wait for them to say anything, got up, left the conference room without looking back, and returned to his room.
…… On the soft big bed, Lu Shaohua found that he liked to look at the white ceiling, because looking at the ceiling in a daze became a habit for Lu Shaohua.
"Am I doing the right thing?" Lu Shaohua asked himself in his heart.
"Isn't that right?" Lu Shaohua had doubts, but in order to achieve his goal, he had to do it.
"Right?" No, Lu Shaohua doesn't think it's right, because he is risking the lives of three people, although Lu Shaohua has repeatedly explained that they have to be under the premise of their own safety, but Lu Shaohua understands one thing in his heart, that is, Li Zhijie and they are absolutely willing to take risks to do this.
There are thousands of thoughts, and at the same time, the contradictions come from the heart, Lu Shaohua couldn't find the answer he wanted, so he could only let it go, shook his head, closed his eyes and slept for a while.
…… Time flies, it passes in the blink of an eye, the time of the day passes quickly, when Lu Shaohua opened his eyes, it was already nine o'clock the next morning, he washed up quickly, regardless of whether his stomach was protesting, and walked directly to the secret base.
This time is different from last time, after the intelligence of the skeleton mercenary group, on the same night, Xie Jianwei adjusted the guards of the secret base, especially at the entrance, from the original four to eight, and the four hidden in the dark, a total of twelve people, but these have nothing to do with Lu Shaohua, because Lu Shaohua came here almost without inspection, and he could enter directly.
The general control room is the target of Lu Shaohua's visit this time, he wants to come over and take a look at the news over there, this is the only way for Lu Shaohua to learn the news from the front, because Li Zhijie's direct contact is Chen Guobang, and Wei You can only grasp the news in time by looking for Chen Guobang.
Entering the general control room, Lu Shaohua faced Chen Guobang's first words. "Big brother! How's it going? ”
Chen Guobang's expression was focused, he didn't even know when Lu Shaohua came in, he was holding a communication device in his hand, and it wasn't until Lu Shaohua opened his mouth that he came back to his senses, and when he saw that it was Lu Shaohua, he smiled faintly, and then said. "So far, there has been no news."
"Oh!" Lu Shaohua frowned, and without any news, everything was going well, but Lu Shaohua still felt very strange, so he asked. "What time did they leave?"
"We left at eight o'clock in the morning." Chen Guobang replied.
"Hmm." Lu Shaohua nodded, didn't pay attention to Chen Guobang, but looked at the watch in his hand and muttered to himself. "It's been an hour and a half."
Yes, Lu Shaohua looked at the time, it turned out to be half past nine o'clock, which was a full hour and a half from the time of Li Zhijie's departure, it stands to reason that an hour and a half is not too long, but he paid too much attention to Li Zhijie's safety, and he couldn't help but get nervous.
Lu Shaohua's inner thoughts were completely exposed on his face, and Chen Guobang, who was standing next to him, saw it clearly and comforted him. "Don't worry, it's okay."
It's not that Chen Guobang doesn't care about Li Zhijie's safety, on the contrary, he cares more about their personal safety than Lu Shaohua, but at this critical moment, he can't be nervous, what he needs is calm.
"It's been agreed at the time, ten o'clock, and if they don't come out by ten o'clock, it means they have had an accident." Chen Guobang said again.
Lu Shaohua nodded and did not speak. By this time, he also realized that he was too nervous, took a deep breath, and secretly muttered fatigue in his heart. "Let's hope they'll be okay."
At this moment, Lu Shaohui has already begun to regret it, regretting that he shouldn't let Li Zhijie and them take this risk, but now there is no regret medicine to buy, because Li Zhijie and they have been setting off for an hour and a half, and anything can happen in the middle, Lu Shaohua can only pray that Li Zhijie and they can return safely.
Time passed bit by bit, very quickly, ten minutes passed, and there were only twenty minutes left before the last time, although Lu Shaohua desperately warned himself to calm down, but the heart that was not angry still couldn't help beating desperately.
Inhale, exhale, Lu Shaohua uses this way to distract himself, decompress himself, and forget that time is beating.
Three minutes, another three minutes passed, at this time, Chen Guobang's communication equipment reacted, Lu Shaohua also noticed, and focused his eyes on Chen Guobang's face, no way, he couldn't hear the sound of the communication equipment, he could only guess the progress of things from Chen Guobang's face.
It didn't take long for Chen Guobang to say 'I know' to the communication equipment, and then turned his head sideways and said to Lu Shaohua. "It's Qian Qian, he successfully persuaded one."
Lu Shaohua just nodded lightly, without foreseen joy, because of the three people, only Qian Qian came out alone, and Li Zhijie and Xie Jianwei had not yet returned, so how could Lu Shaohua have the heart to rejoice.
It seems that time has gone back to the past, silence has returned to the general control room, and no one has spoken, Lu Shaohua is like this, Chen Guobang is even more so, he looked at the communication equipment in a daze, waiting for news.
Another ten minutes passed, and there were only seven minutes left before the last time, and in the last seven minutes, a message came from the communication equipment again, it was Xie Jianwei, he was also successful, and the people were rushing back to the base.
Lu Shaohua's face was like this, there was no joy or sadness, and he couldn't see any expression, but if he paid attention, it was not difficult to see that Lu Shaohua's expression hid a deep worry.
There are still seven minutes, seven minutes, that is, four hundred and thirty seconds, and the second hand only needs to beat four hundred and thirty times, and it will pass.
'Click, click. ’
Lu Shaohua could clearly hear the sound of the second hand beating, his whole heart hung up, and his eyes stared at his watch without blinking.
Three minutes passed...... Five minutes passed...... Six minutes passed...... "The last minute is up." Lu Shaohua muttered to himself, he was already disappointed, because the time was only sixty seconds, and it was about to pass in the blink of an eye, and Li Zhijie's life was estimated to be hopeless.
