Lu Zheng's face was cloudy, he raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and at 3:25 in the afternoon, the second hand was clattering, and Lu Zheng's heart was also tightened.

In the hands of this gang of thugs, after a long time, who knows what will happen?

"Xiangdong, do you think any of these people will know you?" Lu Zheng asked suddenly.

Xiang Dong said casually: "I should know them, they should be Zhang Shigui's old department, I have often followed Deng Sankun in the past two years, and I often go to the barracks, they have no reason not to know me." "Because most of Guobang's financial income now comes from mainlanders' travel, shopping and other consumption, Xiang Dong, the tourism director appointed by Deng Sankun, is also a hot figure in Guobang's high-level management.

Lu Zheng nodded, "That's easy to say, let's go, you come with me." He stood up as he spoke.

Xiang Dong was stunned for a moment, but he was already pulled up by Lu Zheng and dragged out, Xiang Dong was startled, "Mr. Lu, what are you doing?" ”

"Go talk about counting, go save people." Lu Zheng let go of him, stared at him and said, "I need you to help me make a proof, maybe it's a little dangerous, but I'm very sure to keep you safe, will you go?" ”

Xiang Dong was speechless for a while, and his heart was more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis, go ahead, who knows what will happen? If you don't go, you will completely offend Lu Zheng, if you really hurt Lu Zheng's relatives in the pool, then I am afraid that I will not be able to eat in the future.

After hesitating again and again, Xiang Dong stiffened his head and muttered: "Then, then I'll go with you." ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly and patted his shoulder: "Xiangdong, xiexie, then I won't say anything." He turned around and strode outside.

Xiang Dong sighed in his heart, he didn't think about it with all of his fear, and forcibly followed behind Lu Zheng calmly, whether it was a blessing or a curse, just bet this time, if he wins the bet, he will climb a big backer. Moreover, it seems that he can't choose by himself, unless he gives up his life in Guobang, otherwise Lu Zheng can give himself good in the future? You can't expect not to go with Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng was killed by the rebels after going in alone, right? If he doesn't follow, Lu Zheng may not be able to pass with the courage of his husband, otherwise, he is afraid that he will die if he can't walk in front of the door.

Standing far away from the gate of the Yamen, Lu Zheng shouted: "I am Yu from Chinese mainland, and I want to meet your speaker." As he spoke, he pulled Xiang Dong, who was following him with a slight cowering, and said, "There is also Xiang Dong, director of the Tourism Bureau of your Guobang Autonomous Government, who just now had a message with Chairman Deng on the phone. ”

No one answered for a long time inside, so Lu Zheng stood quietly and waited.

Finally, seven or eight minutes later, a hissing megaphone rang out: "You two, raise your hands, come slowly." ”

Lu Zheng gestured to Xiang Dong, then raised his hands above his head, and walked over slowly, Xiang Dong was helpless, so he could draw a scoop with a gourd, raised his arm and followed Lu Zheng, he could feel that his legs were trembling, and he was even more surprised in his heart, Mr. Lu, he looked too calm, as if the line between life and death was just a pediatric for him.

The two walked to the door, the gate squeaked, and was pulled away from the inside, and then Lu Zheng and Xiang Dong were caught by a few strong furry arms, Xiang Dong only glimpsed a few black holes with the muzzle of the gun facing him, and listened to the noisy voice in his ears: "Don't move, don't move" Then, he was viciously pressed against the wall by the face against the wall, and then, someone groped on himself, it should be a body search, think about it, Lu Zheng and himself are treated the same.

Finally, Xiang Dong was pulled around violently, he gasped for breath, looked at the muzzle of the gun that almost stabbed him in the face, and subconsciously raised his arm high.

"Follow me" A strong man with a black and sturdy rifle and a crooked green military hat walked in front, and several soldiers pushed Lu Zheng and walked eastward.

When they entered the lobby of the Yamen, they saw twenty or thirty tourists forced into a corner, men, women and children, and several soldiers with guns pacing and patrolling in front of them.

Then, Lu Zheng saw that a short soldier walked towards the tourists, and then, a girl screamed, it was Bai Su'e, she seemed to have noticed that the short soldier was targeting her, and the squatting little body was so frightened that she retreated again and again.

Lu Zheng didn't care about anything else, and shouted: "Stop" suddenly pushed away the soldiers next to him and rushed over, the crowd was in a commotion, and the soldiers didn't understand what was going on, Lu Zheng had already rushed into the crowd and protected Bai Su'e behind him in Bai Su'e's screams, and then, with the sound of the bolt of the gun, seven or eight rifles were aimed at Lu Zheng, and he was so frightened that he shouted to the east: "Stop, stop him, he is the mayor of China", which was shouted in the local vernacular.

Lu Zheng had already dragged off the orchid bracelet on Bai Su'e's wrist and threw it to the short soldier, saying, "You want this, don't you?" To you" The hostages were all squatting on the ground, holding their heads in both hands, and the orchid bracelet on Bai Su'e Hao's wrist was particularly eye-catching.

"Bang", Lu Zheng was hit by a short soldier's heavy rifle butt on his head, and his eyes were black when he was smashed, and he almost fell, and the blood quickly flowed down.

Bai Su'e screamed and hugged the crumbling Lu Zheng.

Only then did the short soldier find that the cute little Chinese girl in front of him exuded a little sexy, her eyes became fierce, and she said something loudly, so she wanted to catch Bai Su'e, Lu Zheng blocked Bai Su'e behind him, wiped the blood on her face, and said loudly: "Who are you in charge of here?" ”

When the short soldier raised his rifle again and tried to beat Lu Zheng, an officer wearing black leather boots and camouflage and big sunglasses shouted something in the local vernacular. The officer in sunglasses had been watching with amusement and looking at Lu Zheng.

The short soldier spat at Lu Zheng's feet and glared at Lu Zheng defiantly, but finally didn't make another move.

The officer in sunglasses made a gesture, and the soldier next to him pushed Xiang Dong in front of him, and he beckoned to Lu Zheng again, saying, "You, come here." ”

Lu Zheng wanted to walk over, but his hand was tight, but he was desperately grabbed by Bai Su'e's little hands, Lu Zheng turned around and said to her with a smile: "It's okay, you come with me." ”

Although she was terrified, Bai Su'e didn't want to leave Lu Zheng's side for half a step at this moment, and she didn't dare to look at the fierce and vicious soldiers around her, so she took Lu Zheng's hand and followed Lu Zheng's footsteps.

"Director Fang, you're lying to me, aren't you? Deng Sankun can't have a message to bring me right now. "The Mandarin of the officer in sunglasses is very standard, with a slight southern Yunnan accent. When he stared at Xiang Dong, although Xiang Dong couldn't see his eyes through his sunglasses, his heart was still tight, as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"That's what I told him to say." Lu Zheng calmly looked at the officer in sunglasses.

The officer in sunglasses also turned his head to look at him, and slowly, pulled his sunglasses down, revealing his eyes, as if he wanted to see who Lu Zheng was.

Pointing to the orchid bracelet in the short soldier's hand, the officer in sunglasses asked, "This chain is a high-end product, right?" ”

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Specially ordered, more than 30,000 dollars." ”

With a "bang", the resolute soldier who heard Lu Zheng speak in front of him immediately blew up, exchanged heads and discussed, pouted in disbelief, had any expression, and countless fiery eyes stared at the bracelet.

The short soldier was far away and didn't hear Lu Zheng's words, but looking at the eyes of his companions, his heart suddenly felt a little hairy, and he didn't know what was going on.

The officer in sunglasses, who had always had a cold face, was finally moved, his complexion changed a few times, and he immediately smiled: "Cunning mainlander, do you want us to kill each other, do you take the opportunity to escape?" ”

Lu Zheng shook his head: "There's no need for that, if you really shoot and refrain from fire, there will be a lot of deaths here, and we are not safe." ”

The officer in sunglasses looked at Lu Zheng deeply again, and after a while, asked, "Are you a wealthy businessman in China?" Xiang Dong just said that you are the mayor of the mainland, and you are also lying to me? ”

Lu Zheng said: "Not necessarily, I can indeed control a lot of money, but I am not a businessman, Xiang Dong is right, I am an official in the mainland, I have also been the domestic ambassador to Myanmar, Deng Sankun, Miao Wuren, Zhang Shigui are all my old friends, if Miao Wuren knows your current actions and shoots you, as long as I make a phone call, the Myanmar government may not shelter him again." ”

The officer in sunglasses smiled meaningfully and said, "Really? ”

Lu Zheng glanced at him quietly, and said: "Don't try to kidnap me and extort money, first, now that Deng Sankun's troops have definitely surrounded here, he will definitely not allow you to take me away; Second, do you think that after the blackmail of me is successful, I will not be able to find you when I get out of danger? Wherever you hide, I can dig you out, unless you tear up the ticket; Third, it can be inferred from the second point that if I am kidnapped, even if I pay the ransom, you will definitely tear up the ticket, so I will not obediently follow you, I would rather die here and die with you. ”

The officer in sunglasses was stunned, he was thinking about it, there was such a fat sheep in front of him, why bother to be Miao Wuren's subordinate, kidnap this person and extort a huge amount of money, and then, hide abroad and live happily.

But I don't want to, as if I think something, this Chinese in front of me is clear, this person, it is really not simple

At this time, there was a sudden quarrel next to him, but a soldier walked up to the short soldier and wanted to touch the bracelet on his hand, and the short soldier pushed him away, and the two immediately raised their guns at each other like fighting cocks, almost at the same time.

The officer in sunglasses shouted at them to stop, and suddenly, with a tightening of his neck, Lu Zheng shot out like lightning, strangled his neck with one arm, and pulled out the pistol in his holster with the other hand at an incredible speed, aiming it at his head.

The soldiers were stunned in a hurry, and then they pointed their guns at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng tightly strangled the neck of the officer in sunglasses and said in his ear: "Fourth, I won't cooperate with you obediently, I'd rather die with you than I will go with you."

The officer in sunglasses only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and there was no room for resistance, this man who claimed to be a Chinese official had too much strength, and he pulled out his gun and opened the insurance in one go, where is the government official? It's more like a professional soldier.

"I guess you didn't have a sniper rifle at me, did you? So, there's plenty of time to kill you before I get shot indiscriminately. Lu Zheng strangled the neck of the officer with sunglasses, and slowly, leaned against the wall.

Bai Su'e was stunned, and it wasn't until Lu Zheng shouted: "Come here" that she woke up like a dream and quickly ran to Lu Zheng's side.

Several soldiers wanted to arrest him, but Lu Zheng slammed the sunglasses officer's head with a gun, and no one dared to move.

Lu Zheng said to the officer in sunglasses again: "Let's make a deal, I will give each of you soldiers 10,000 dollars, give you 50,000 dollars, and guarantee that you leave Kokang safely, what about you, release all the hostages, we are all happy, how about it?" Without waiting for the officer in sunglasses to speak, Lu Zheng said again: "You are in Yangon, you should have reliable friends and relatives, in this way, you ask them to register an account, and I can immediately ask someone to transfer money." Well, the phone line, I asked Deng Sankun to pick it up. But everything has been thought of for him, and at this time he is in danger, and he must quickly cut through the chaos and dispel the sunglasses officer's desire to resist, otherwise there will be a slight mistake and a conflict, which will be a situation where bloodshed is indispensable.

The officer in sunglasses was stunned and stunned, and at this time Lu Zheng had already let go of his neck slightly, giving him room to think.

Lu Zheng continued: "I don't care about this money, I don't care about your life, I just want things to be resolved quickly, it's best if no one bleeds, and I promise to persuade Deng Sankun to let you go, as for Zhang Shigui, I think you can only give up, I think, what you really care about is the reward for returning to the south, right?" If you can kidnap me, you may be able to extort a lot of money, but you also want to enjoy your life, so, I think this ending is the most howard for you, and the reward I pay you is ten times higher than what Miao Wuren promised, right? ”

The sunglasses officer's face was cloudy, and he suddenly asked, "Can all these conditions you said be done?" ”

Lu Zheng smiled: "You can give it a try, there is no harm." After glancing at his expression, he shouted to the direction that was grabbed by the soldiers and twisted aside: "Xiangdong, go and tell Deng Sankun to ask him to come in with a telephone line, and he can make an international telephone line." ”

As soon as Lu Zheng shouted like this, a soldier immediately pointed a gun at the east, and the officer in sunglasses shouted something in the local dialect before the soldiers slowly let go of him.

After walking eastward, the officer in sunglasses looked at Lu Zheng with a suspicious gaze, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" "It's hard to imagine that no matter which country the government official can behave like this in front of the thugs with loaded guns, calm thinking, calm performance, don't look at him alone, in fact, now completely dominate the whole course of events.

Lu Zheng didn't relax his vigilance at all, looked at the actions of these militants in the field, and said: "Xiangdong didn't lie to you, don't think too complicated." ”

The officer in sunglasses was silent.

After a while, Lu Zheng said: "I have fought a counterattack against Vietnam, and I am afraid that there is no one more of you present than me with blood on my hands." ”

The officer in sunglasses was stunned and said, "I see, it's disrespectful." ”

Lu Zheng didn't squeak, but the pistol on the head of the officer in sunglasses didn't relax at all.

About half an hour later, a soldier in green uniformed came in with a bundle of telephone cords on his back, and he had a digital dial phone in his hand.

Although the leader is now under control, the armed personnel guarding in the courtyard have not slackened, just now the deputy of the sunglasses officer has passed on the message, the task has changed, the main thing is to get out safely, as long as today's matter can be resolved peacefully, back to the south, everyone will be paid five thousand dollars.

Even in the midst of the crisis, the officers in sunglasses did not forget to withhold the remuneration they deserved.

The news that each of them would receive five thousand dollars still made the militants thunder with joy, and the soldiers in the courtyard, who did not know much about the situation inside, raised their guns and screamed excitedly.

Outside the courtyard gate, two trucks were driven by, and after stopping, the driver got out of the car and ran away.

Then, from outside, a loudspeaker shouted: "As long as Miao Hao does not hurt the hostages inside, I promise that I will let you leave Kokang safely."

Although the sunglasses officer was under Lu Zheng's control, the deputy ran back and forth to communicate, and also reported to him the situation outside, saw the phone being put in, and heard the deputy say that the truck was also delivered, and then, I heard the shout of the tweeter, this voice is very familiar, the sunglasses officer hey, said: "It's Deng Sankun" looked at Lu Zheng, and said: "It seems that you are really not an ordinary person." Now there is no doubt in my heart, Deng Sankun agreed to all kinds of conditions so quickly, and even ran to shout in person, can this person in front of him be an idle person?

Lu Zheng didn't squeak either.

The communication soldier sent by Deng Sankun pulled the telephone line in, and the phone was directly set up next to Lu Zheng and the officer in sunglasses, and after debugging and confirming that it was connected, he handed the phone to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng motioned for him to put the microphone on the ear of the officer in sunglasses, and said, "Help him dial." ”

In this way, the officer in sunglasses talked on the phone with a relative in southern Myanmar and asked for an account, which was recorded by the signal soldier, and then, Lu Zheng made a phone call, called a foreign mobile phone, and said a few words in German, and the officer in sunglasses immediately said: "Speak Mandarin." Lu Zheng said: "It's a friend in Germany, she doesn't know Chinese. After talking into the microphone, he turned to the officer in sunglasses and said, "Say, ask her to ask a friend in Myanmar to transfer 460,000 US dollars, which should arrive in your account in no more than an hour, and after an hour, you can confirm with your relative." ”

The officer in sunglasses looked at Lu Zheng in disbelief, just when Lu Zheng was beaten by a short soldier, he still felt that this Chinese was very interesting, and wanted to see what kind of person he was, but now, in his heart, a trace of fear gradually rose, because this person, he was completely out of control, and even what he said to the outside world on the phone, he couldn't understand it at all.

"You, you don't want to hold me hostage?" The officer in sunglasses asked tentatively.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I think, but will your subordinates be there?" They have to keep me if you don't want your life, and they want to borrow you as a hostage, and your deputy can't agree to be the first one. It's like I won't ask you to talk to Miao Wuren on the phone, and now you won't listen to his orders, right? ”

The officer in sunglasses was silent, and after a while, he suddenly remembered something and shouted to the short soldier: "Give the bracelet back"

Although the short soldier was reluctant, he could only carry the bracelet and walk this way at this time, but Lu Zheng shouted to him: "Find a piece of Yujing's cloth bag and throw it over."

The officer in sunglasses finally felt some relief and said, "Don't worry, he won't make small moves, I just want to show my sincerity." ”

Lu Zheng said: "That's not it, this bracelet was touched by him, and he can't ask for it, it's too dirty, go back to the master to wash it, and donate it to the Hope Project at auction." He said to Bai Su'e again: "Don't feel distressed, right?" When I get back, my uncle will buy you a more haode gift. In fact, it is also a relief for the frightened little Nizi.

Bai Su'e has been following Lu Zheng timidly, and at this time she nodded timidly, not daring to say anything.

Originally, seeing that Lu Zheng didn't allow his own people to come, he thought that the person in front of him was also worried and frightened, but after listening to Lu Zheng's words, Mu Ran had only one thought in his heart, what the hell is this?
