The three Arabs hiding in the monastery were somewhat panicked.

Although they have received some training, they are not professional soldiers or professional mercenaries after all. On the contrary, the boss chose the three of them because they all went to college, spoke English well, and knew a little Chinese.

It is said that the Chinese in Jiangning know simple English and treat foreigners who can speak Chinese very well.

It's true that when I arrived in Jiangning, with a beard and a handful of green dollars, everything went smoothly.

After successfully luring the founder of the magical virus XXYS, XXY, and discovering that it was a little girl who had no ability to resist, the emir led by the leader immediately subdued her with a dagger and coerced her to the largest temple nearby.

At this point, the three of them were relieved, and they even made an exception to play cards for a while to celebrate the good days ahead.

In the plan, they will take an evening cruise, arrive in Hong Kong and then charter a flight to leave.

Everything was perfect, only at noon the police who appeared at the pier and the airfield, with a close search, disturbed them.

Small, unlicensed boats were not allowed to sail, and some cruise ships that solicited individual tourists at sea stopped operating illegally, and when warnings came from above that they were looking for Arabs, they quickly took refuge in the monastery.

Now in Jiangning, it seems that only here is safe.

The emir donated 4,000 yuan to the monastery and was immediately granted permission to stay overnight. They hid their passports and other belongings that they had with them. In this way, they have changed from Arabs outside the country to Catholics in distant pastoral areas of China.

Later, the imam, who knew about it, knew it, but he could neither expose it nor send people out. Jiangning is not a place where parishioners are concentrated, and rich parishioners are often unreligious.

People from all walks of life, it is precisely because of the extreme lack of security that they turn to the power of religion, and if a person who is sheltered in the temple is sent out, no matter what the reason, everyone may not say anything at the time, but slowly, the heart will disperse.

In the face of violent institutions, where do vulnerable groups have a reason to survive and where do they have a reason not to be evicted.

Nobody.

Religion is the religion of the heart.

A monastery without cohesion is just a building.

In what the imam has seen and heard in the past 70 years, there are many temples that have risen and fallen inexplicably, but there is no temple that has inexplicably decayed.

The imam was chanting silently.

"There are more police officers out there." The second imam walked into the chapel with a straight face.

He was a native of Jiangning, went to a religious school, and worked his way up step by step, but because he was not liked by the congregation, especially the old imam, he always condescended to the bottom.

"I know." The old imam still recites with his eyes closed.

"I'll talk to them, let them out."

The imam was silent.

The second imam was not very happy, sat down next to him, and also began to chant.

Of course, he could send those three people away, but without the permission of the imam at the beginning of the school, he would take the responsibility on himself. Of course he wouldn't do it.

I don't know how long later, the sky outside was dark, and a "high-eyed" ran over and said, "Imam, there are soldiers." ”

"Bing? They didn't dare. The second imam smiled.

The imam stood up suddenly, stopped chanting, and walked to the rooftop.

The second imam didn't understand and said, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid they're burning down the monastery. Galu, go and call everyone up, turn on the lights everywhere, get things ready, and be ready to put out the fire at any time. ”

The second imam suddenly came to his senses and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we can't let them trick us out." Call everyone up, get the water now, let the water stay on the ground, put away the blankets, all the banners, the flammable things, douse them with water, and put them in the backyard. ”

Galu shouted and went to give the order.

The imam was silent again, and walked to the rooftop step by step.

He walked very slowly, and the second imam followed patiently.

The second imam actually admired the old imam very much, but admiration is admiration, and he can't go by occupying the position, but he has accumulated more and more dissatisfaction.

When I arrived at the rooftop, I saw that all around was blocked. Police cars, armed police cars are everywhere. A little farther away, there is a row of large green trucks, and soldiers wearing steel helmets can be seen. It's not an elite soldier, but it's all a top guy with a gun in his hand, and he's better than the people in the temple.

"There are so many people with political axes." The imam sighed with emotion and said, "Tell everyone, if someone rushes in, don't fight, don't shout, and hide aside." ”

"They don't dare." The second imam said it again.

The imam used the slow tone that the old man often said: "Maybe you don't dare, you may dare." But if they dare to rush in, they don't have to block it. ”

"You can't let them in so easily." The second imam held the latter sentence in his mouth: Only when there are dead and injured people in the monastery can we prove that we have resisted, and only then can the parishioners be more calm and more reliant.

The old imam was silent, and when Ga Lu came up, he commanded him again.

"After this night, it's fine." He looked at the sky and always felt that the sun was setting too slowly.

The second imam finally came back to his senses and asked in a low voice, "I heard that it was a kidnapping, who was kidnapped?" ”

"The little niece of Chen Guoliang of the Jiangning Military Region."

"No wonder there are so many soldiers...... Ah, they came down. ”

On the side of the temple, about 100 or so soldiers are forming a line. They didn't even wear uniform clothing, some were camouflage, some were military uniforms, and some were training uniforms. But without exception, everyone was robbed, and it was an automatic rifle of a unified model.

These people, as long as they rush in, no matter how many congregants there are in the temple, they will only be killed and wounded.

The big temples in the city don't even have a hunting rifle to hunt wild boars.

The second imam finally understands the old imam a little, if the other party kills the red eye, he may have to kill many people.

"I can't wait a day." The old imam sighed.

"The people of the political axe went to negotiate, and they didn't dare to rush." The second imam suddenly pointed down with some excitement.

However, he was soon disappointed.

Indeed, there were civil servants in suits and high-ranking police officers who went to negotiate, but without exception, they all returned.

The petty officers below were unusually tough, and the soldiers were silent.

"Listen, I'm Chen Yi, and I want to ask Mr. Emir to say a few words." The loud voice seemed to come straight to the rooftop.

Above, the second imam scratched his head and asked, "Who is the emir?" ”

"It's those three people. Galu, tell them to come up, and then call some parishioners to come up, and the imams will stay below, except for the people who watch the fire, and gather all the high-eyed people. ”

After a while, the Arab emir, headed by the leader, came up. The other two and Chen Yongxi remained below.

There were also about thirty members of the sect, some old and some young, who came curiously and followed.

The emir smiled at the imam and said in unskilled Chinese: "Hello, hello, don't know what to call me?" ”

The old imam closed his eyes and did not speak, and the second imam had to say: "You should have heard, there is a man named Chen Yi, who wants to talk to Mr. Emir." ”

He doesn't want to get involved in these things, he still wants to be a representative of the CPPCC.

Hearing his name being called, Emir didn't feel too much fear, he asked first, "Who is this Mr. Chen Yi?" ”

came in a hurry, he didn't know XXY's identity in advance, Chen Rongxi's name, and he also saw it from the student card.

Chen Yi is like a family member when he hears it, and it seems that a family that can attract so many people is not small.

Although the emir was calm on the surface, he was actually playing the drum in his heart.

He is not a low-level person who is a human bomber, he is a university student in the United Arab Emirates, and he is a person who is ready to go back and enjoy life and buy a big house in Dubai.

The second imam Nunu mouthed and motioned for him to ask the people below.

After a while, the emir stood boldly in front of the rooftop. He secretly applauded himself, feeling that he was a brave man who was not afraid of snipers and death, provided that the hostages were still in the hands of Rashid and Bass, of course.

"I am the emir." He shouted loudly, and strange noises were heard far away in the silent monastery.

"My name is Chen Yi." Chen Yi downstairs still looked like an associate student, and there were several large cars parked behind him, and a row of bodyguards with loaded guns and ammunition were arrayed in front of him, many of whom looked like foreigners.

After staring at each other for a while, it was still Chen Yi who spoke first and said, "Mr. Emir, how much do you know about China?" ”

"Not a lot." The emir smiled.

"Your Chinese doesn't seem to be very good, you are a student at the University of Sharjah, right?" Mind me asking, why did you come to China to kidnap? ”

"I didn't kidnap you." After the emir finished speaking, he smiled again: "You don't have to threaten me, I am a serious Emirat. ”

His parents had long since died, and his only brother was a peripheral member of the Human Development Research Society, and Rashid and Bass were in a similar situation. Because of this, they were able to get this job and wanted to become one of the full members of the organization.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Emir, I want to confirm whether these three are your bank account numbers." ”

A row of lights came on.

On the office building across the road from the temple, a large screen was hung at some point, and a line of numbers was displayed on it.

As long as the name of the emir is found, Chen Yi will naturally be able to find out his relevant information through Jin Doona, and find out more and more accordingly.

This trick obviously surprised him a little.

After half a minute, the emir said coldly: "Is it not, what does it matter." ”

"That's good." Chen Yi turned around and said two words, and then said: "I just transferred $3 million to this account. ”

Emir was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, and said, "Thank you." However, I studied at the University of Sharjah, 3 million, which is the cost of a year. ”

Of course, he doesn't spend that much, but the students who spend 3 million or even 30 million dollars a year are just too much. Living in Dubai is as expensive as living on Mars.

"I understand that 3 million is definitely not enough." Chen Yi raised his hand backwards, a black-skinned truck reversed, the back door fell to the ground, and two bodyguards in desert pants each pushed out a metal cabinet.

Two searchlights, lit up with a "bang", shone on the metal cabinet.

Chen Yi stepped forward in person, flicked open the lock, poured out all the things inside, piled them in front of him, and said, "Here are 20 million US dollars, all of which are 20 US dollars in old bills, do you think it is enough?" ”

Not only the emir, but also Director Yan, who authorized Chen Yi to negotiate, the eldest brother Chen Heng, who was reorganizing the training team, his father Chen Congyu, his mother Fang Manyi, and Zhu Guangliang and others who were standing in the crowd of civil servants, all looked at it.

20 million US dollars, that's 170 million yuan.

What is he trying to do? How can the kidnappers buy it?
