Chapter 388 The kidnapping case suddenly broke out

Shen Fengdao, who was wearing a dark blue literati robe, climbed to the café on the second floor, came to An Yi's side, nodded politely to Li Xiaolong and the two, and handed a newspaper to An Yi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When An Yi saw the sudden arrival of Shen Fengdao, who had been soaked in the laboratory of the pharmaceutical factory for several days and had not seen each other, he knew that there was something urgent, so he took the newspaper and read it carefully, and handed it to Li Xiaolong opposite: "Take a look." ”

Li Xiaolong looked at An Yi strangely, then lowered his head, and shook his head again and again after reading the news on the front page of the "Declaration": "This is definitely our people's doing, we can't use such a despicable kidnapping method to extort money, and we will not hesitate to annihilate such bandits." ”

An Yi nodded reassuringly, turned to Shen Feng and said, "How to deal with Uncle Dao?" ”

"I have sent someone to Yushan County with a ransom of 20,000 yuan, hoping that it will be in time. It has been three days since the incident, and it only appeared in the newspapers today, and all the newspapers in Shanghai, Nanjing, and other places are condemning the kidnapping incident, the embassies and consulates of European and American countries are exerting pressure on the Nanjing government, and the Christian associations in various places are arguing.

Pedro said that Alfred and his wife came to Lao Nanchang from Quzhou for Christmas, and stayed in our hospital to work directly after they were finished, and also said that Alfred's sister-in-law reporter had rushed to Lao Nanchang, and they all wanted to see you and ask you and General Zhu to help rescue them. Shen Fengdao shook his head slightly.

An Yi said with a wry smile: "Eastern Jiangxi and northeastern Jiangxi are not our sphere of influence, there is the border area of Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces, the situation is very complicated, the mountains and mountains are towering and the forests are towering, and it has always been a place where bandits from all walks of life haunt it, and no one can do anything about them for decades.

This group of bandits dared to openly extort a ransom of 20,000 oceans, obviously not an ordinary rabble, how to say that they also have a certain strength, it's not easy to get it! Uncle Dao's handling is good, and I hope that those strongmen will keep their promises and collect money and release people, otherwise this matter will definitely be known to the world, and it will have a bad impact on all aspects. ”

"You better go back and see the group of doctors and professors in the hospital, they don't have the heart to work, hundreds of foreigners gathered in the church to pray before I came." Shen Fengdao said in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll call Uncle De and go back, it seems that tonight's industrial and commercial symposium won't be held."

An Yi stood up and saw that Li Xiaolong was still sitting, and said with a stern face: "What are you doing stupidly?" Go to Lao Hantou for a drink tonight, Commander Yang Bin and his chief of staff Huanqi should come back, and the old brothers Ji Nan, Hutou and Lao Ding are also here, you are willing to miss a rare gathering? You need the help of their security headquarters for your future business, and if you don't see them figure out what they think, how will you explain when you go back? ”

Li Xiaolong smiled bitterly, and could only follow An Yi downstairs, wait for An Yi to finish making a phone call at the bar downstairs, and get into the second car together to rush to Lao Nanchang.

Along the way, An Yi pointed to many newly built buildings along the way from time to time, and introduced to Li Xiaolong who invested and what he did to do it, with no anger on his face, as if they were two brothers who had never blushed.

Li Xiaolong nodded frequently, and asked from time to time, as if he had forgotten the unhappiness just now.

In fact, Li Xiaolong's heart is far from being as calm as on his face, he is familiar with An Yi's generous character, and he also remembers that when he was in the model battalion, An Yi lost his temper with the officers and soldiers under his command, and there was nothing to do when they met the next day, but An Yi lost his temper with him for the first time, and he treated those loyal old brothers before, he was still cordial and unpretentious after he was angry, Li Xiaolong was extremely moved in his eyes, he knew what An Yi did and what he promised to all the old brothers, So far, he still doesn't treat Li Xiaolong as an outsider, and still treats him as his own brother.

An Yi got out of the car at the door of the church, instructed Chen Mian to send Li Xiaolong and the others to the old Hantou shop for tea first, walked into the elegant church gate alone, and went straight into the chapel.

Pastor Pedro and the others saw An Yi, and soon rushed up, Miss Kaplan, the reporter of the New York Times in China and Alfred's sister-in-law, had red and swollen eyes, and a little helplessness and haggard on her pale face.

Pastor Pedro from the United States, a philosopher of medium height and about forty years old, scratched his gray head, then drew a cross on his chest and whispered in English:

"Well, the reply of the Nationalist Government was very disappointing, and the high-ranking officials not only did not offer constructive advice on the disaster, but also shifted the blame to the whole thing, and finally said that the government army could do nothing about the criminal bandits in the remote mountainous area. The Christian Council of China and the Young Men's Christian Association have just sent a telegram, and everyone is pinning their hopes on you. ”

An Yi shook Pedro's hand and whispered comfort in increasingly proficient English: "Don't worry, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred are noble people, God will bless them, they are also the benefactors of myself and the model battalion of the army that I once led, the model battalion received their selfless help in the course of a series of operations in the Quzhou area last year, and hundreds of wounded and sick soldiers were greatly treated by their husband and wife and the local church, we must never forget this kindness."

At present, the local Taoist association and people from all walks of life are working hard to achieve this, and the negotiator elected by the local chamber of commerce has arrived in Yushan by truck three hours ago, and it is expected that news will come soon.

Pastor, Miss Kaplan, ladies and gentlemen, please don't be too sad, with my own understanding of the bandits, since they claim to have hurt the hostages without paying the ransom for five days, it means that we still have two days to rescue them, according to my preliminary understanding, this gang of bandits does not have any political background, the speculation in the "Declaration" and other newspapers is wrong, this bad incident has nothing to do with all the political forces, it is almost certain that this is only a criminal case, therefore, it is estimated that the ongoing rescue work will not encounter too many obstacles. ”

After everyone heard An Yi say these words slowly and effortlessly, the worry in their hearts was reduced a lot, and Kaplan, who was beautiful and sexy, with delicate and white skin, stepped forward and hugged An Yi tightly:

"Thank you, Ann, thank you! I don't know how to express my gratitude to you. ”

"You can express it when you let go." An Yi replied humorously.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh lowly, Kaplan then remembered that the customs of the Chinese were different from the customs of his own nation, and his originally white and beautiful face suddenly turned red, and he glanced at An Yi with the blue eyes of the water spirit, and let go of his arms and gently left his embrace.

Kreuzer, the hospital's director and vice president of the School of Medicine, stepped forward to pat An Yi on the shoulder and whispered thanks, and then left the church with dozens of colleagues and returned to the hospital next door.

At the same time, through Pastor Pedro's introduction just now, An Yi knew that President Jiang must have also received news, and there must be many foreign envoys, especially US officials in China, who pleaded with him and put pressure on him, because Yu Rizhang, the director general of the China Young Men's Christian Association, who sent an urgent telegram, was the host of President Jiang's wedding ceremony. Moreover, President Jiang's new wife Song Meiren's family are all devout Christians, and his father-in-law, Charlie Song, also has a pastor, and Principal Jiang was also hurriedly baptized and converted to Christ because he wanted to marry Song Meiren not long ago, these people are much more anxious than themselves, a hypocrite who has to join Christianity for profit.

After chatting for half an hour, An Yi comforted Kaplan again and said goodbye to everyone.

After leaving the church, An Yi wondered as he walked, whether Principal Jiang would also send someone to help him in this matter? Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the church gate, I saw Deng Wenyi, secretary general of the Nanchang Huangpu Alumni Branch, and an unknown capable man standing next to the car chatting with Lin Yaodong and Chen Mian.

When Deng Wenyi saw An Yi, he hurriedly waved his hand and shouted "Senior Brother An", greeted with a smile on his face, and after shaking hands, he introduced the man with a reserved smile next to him to An Yi: "This is Liu Kun and Liu Mingzhang, from the third phase of the Political Section, who was originally in charge of the confidential room with Director Chen, you should have seen it, and he was just transferred to the Nanchang Branch." ”

An Yi happily stretched out his hand: "I've seen it, I've seen it when I was in school, it's just that Senior Brother Liu is low-key and doesn't like to talk, not as ostentatious as me, haha!" ”

Liu Kun held An Yi's hand tightly: "Senior brother is a celebrity everywhere, foolish brother doesn't dare to say hello to junior brother, I also met a few times when I was in Nanchang headquarters last year, I was too busy at that time to have a good chat, this time I was transferred to Nanchang, I can have a good reunion with my junior brother!" ”

"The two senior brothers came to Lao Nanchang at this time, won't they come to mix wine and drink again?" An Yi guessed the intention of the two and deliberately made a joke.

Deng Wenyi smiled, took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to An Yi, and said in a low voice: "This is a secret message sent by the principal to the junior brother. ”

After reading the letter, An Yi immediately told Deng Wenyi the details of the rescue that had begun:

“…… The younger brother is also facing a lot of pressure now, please ask the senior brother to pass it on to the principal, and after the rescue work is completed, no matter what the outcome is, Yang Bin's Ganzhong Security Command will take measures against this stubborn bandit, and at that time, I implore the principal to pay attention to the reaction of the Shanghai press, and it is best not to publish any relevant news, otherwise the impact will be irreparable. ”

Deng Wenyi realized the importance of the matter, where did he still have the heart to drink: "Senior brother has to send a car to send the foolish brother back to the city immediately, and the news must be reported to the principal as soon as possible.

With the status of the junior brother in the principal's heart and the influence of Lao Nanchang, the principal will not let any negative news appear in the newspapers, as for the principal's clear opinion, wait for the foolish brother to get the order and then tell it in detail. ”

Seeing off Deng Wenyi and Liu Kun, An Yi, accompanied by Lin Yaodong, walked to Lao Hantou's hotel and entered the private seat on the second floor, where a group of brothers had already drunk with Li Xiaolong.

Seeing An Yi come in, the brothers were in high spirits, and the meal and wine were drunk in the dark, and the guests and hosts returned happily.

Li Xiaolong's head hurt badly when he woke up, he turned over and struggled, covered his head and moaned in a low voice: "...... Li Huan, where am I sleeping...... Ouch...... Why do you feel that your ears are buzzing, the world is all shaking......"

"Battalion commander, this is on the freight gas ship of the Jiangnan Water Transport Company, the sky is about to dawn, and we are almost at the dock in Gao'an County." Li Heng picked up Li Xiaolong and handed over a brand-new green military kettle.

Li Xiaolong took it and raised his head and grunted his stomach, let out a long breath and blinked his eyes violently, and finally looked at the military kettle in his hand in the dim light, and asked in a low voice, "Where did it come from?" ”

"Commander Yang sent it! Last night, Commander Yang gave you a lot of things at the wine table, and you toasted and thanked you vigorously, did you forget? Li Heng reminded in a low voice.

"I thanks? What do you give? Li Xiaolong asked in surprise.

Li Heng smiled: "1,500 sets of brand-new military short jackets worn inside, 3,000 sets of old revolutionary army uniforms, 1,500 military water bottles, 1,500 pairs of beautiful high-top military shoes, and more than a dozen sacks of semi-new and old military belts, gun holsters, leather magazines and armed belts, Commander Yang said that they were all selected and left after changing clothes, and they were all given to us, did you really forget?" ”

Li Xiaolong sighed, fell down heavily, patted his forehead and groaned: "Grandma's ...... If only I could forget it, I really want to forget it......"
