Chapter 455: False Alarm?
Uncanny!
Knocking on the door without making a sound, who could it be?
What do you want to do?
Tang Xiao is not an ordinary woman after all, she has received professional special operations training.
In the past, he was even an important female foreign guest, and he served as a personal bodyguard during a state visit.
The anticipation and sensitivity to danger are naturally stronger than ordinary people.
Tuk tuk!
There was three more knocks on the door.
This time, it's slight.
But he still didn't squeak.
Tang Xiao subconsciously touched his waist, and his willow eyebrows condensed.
I forgot that I had already been discharged from the army, where would I get a gun!
What to do?
Tang Xiao immediately pulled his voice and said:
"Hey, are you coming? Okay, I'll be waiting for you in the room!"
The voice was loud, deliberately towards the door, enough for people outside to hear.
If it's an ordinary thief, hearing such words is enough to be scared away, and I'm worried that someone will come.
Of course, even the killer doesn't dare to mess around, in case someone blocks it, won't it become a turtle in an urn?
Immediately, Tang Xiao quickly returned to the room.
Although the curtains have been drawn, they cannot prevent infrared detection at all.
Tang Xiao rushed to the side of the bed, riveted his strength, and dragged the sleeping Wu Jie out of bed.
Use the edge of the bed to cover up.
In case there is a sniper on the opposite floor, the height of the windowsill and the edge of the bed can provide some shelter.
Subsequently, Tang Xiao immediately sent a message to Secretary Wang.
This time, the team was accompanied by special services.
He took off his shoes, picked up a decorative porcelain vase, and found a suitable hiding place with his back against the wall.
Once the opponent picks the lock in, they can launch a surprise attack.
But......
There was no knocking on the door.
It is estimated that the shouting just now played a role and made the other party leave first.
Really!
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Tang, we're here!"
Secretary Wang's voice rang out outside the door.
"How many people did you bring with you?"
"Didn't you say it, bring two?" Secretary Wang shouted.
Hearing such an answer, Tang Xiao let out a long breath.
The identity must be verified, otherwise what should I do if I encounter a fake one?
Putting the porcelain vase down, Tang Xiao quickly went to open the door, but he also looked at the cat's eye to confirm before opening it.
"Mr. Tang, what's going on?"
As soon as the door opened, Secretary Wang asked curiously.
The special services of the two security divisions are naturally experts.
As soon as you enter, you will close the door and go to the living room and bedroom to find a hidden position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Get together and stand together...... If there is a surprise attack, wouldn't it be served in a pot?
After all kinds of training, they certainly don't make such mistakes!
"A stranger knocked on the door just now, and he didn't speak, I suspect it's not a good person!"
Tang Xiao's expression was a little solemn.
Secretary Wang frowned: "This hotel has been rented by us......! Oh no, there is a press conference soon, and Manager Cai has invited a lot of news media reporters from various countries, maybe someone took the opportunity to slip up!"
"But how does he know which room I live in?" Tang Xiao snorted coldly: "There must be a problem with the internal staff of the hotel, this hotel can't live, arrange to return to China as soon as possible!"
"That press conference ......"
"Of course I want to go!"
Tang Xiao turned his head to look at the special service not far away: "The surveillance in the corridor outside must have been taken over, you two are guarding the house, if I don't come back, don't open the door if anyone comes!"
As he spoke, as soon as Tang Xiao stretched out his hand, the special service immediately threw the matching gun over.
After receiving the gun, check it skillfully.
Tang Xiao turned back to the house, took a lady's small blazer from the suitcase and put it on, just enough to hide the gun in case of accidents.
People die for money, birds die for food!
The stakes are too great for the East African SAM project.
Tang Xiao knew that the three giants were impossible to give up easily.
And even if they give up, some developed countries in the West will not be able to sit idly by.
What's more, this is Africa!
In order to ensure the safety of the bidding enterprises, the president must order the army to be dispatched and escorted by chariots and helicopters.
Do you really think this is to show off your looks?
The tighter the security, the more it proves that the area is not safe.
Just like Cai Xu, they often run business here, and they carry guns with them at all times.
In Yasya, the capital of Ethiopia, security may be good, but elsewhere.
On the black market, bullets, grenades, light and heavy machine guns, and even rocket launchers are available.
It is also because of the unstable situation in the region and the poor public security.
Therefore, the East African SAM project has long been clearly articulated project safety risks.
And the bidder is required to formulate a safety plan and budget.
Either take responsibility for your own security or hire a security company.
At the beginning, Wu Jie, using the security service of this project, successfully 'tricked' Jack Entro.
After all, mercenaries all over the world know that there is a full $500 million security budget for this project.
But......
Tang Xiao couldn't wait to destroy the 'Black Angel Mercenary Group', how could he cooperate with them?
Coming out of the room, Tang Xiao and Secretary Wang went downstairs all the way.
Secretary Wang, who had never experienced this kind of situation, was really scared.
Along the way, looking around all the way, I always feel like I'm being targeted.
Tang Xiao did not panic, she believed in her marksmanship.
And the farther away from Wu Jie, the safer Wu Jie will be.
She believes that the killer's first target must be herself as the president of the group.
Bite!
Elevator to the ground floor.
Although the elevator door, there are hotel staff guarding to prevent other strangers from going upstairs.
But the fire staircase is useless.
Come to a killer duo, one plays cover to block the view, and the other takes the stairs and goes upstairs easily.
Alas!
In Ethiopia, the conditions are like this, what more can you ask for?
After the press conference, it is important to return to China as soon as possible.
Walking all the way to the banquet hall, it can be said that it is full of people and lively.
Many colleagues in the bidding team have volunteered to help.
Cai Xu saw Tang Xiao and the two from a distance on the stage, so he quickly trotted over.
With a glance, the three of them came to a relatively secluded place.
"Mr. Tang, there is news from the embassy, claiming that our project is not 100% stable, and the three hooligans are trying to sabotage it in various ways, so we must pay attention to safety and withdraw to the embassy at any time if necessary!"
Of course, the embassy stationed here has a certain channel of information.
Even if they say so, then the three hooligans must already be taking action.
Tang Xiao pondered for a moment and commanded:
"After the press conference, we will arrange to return to China, and if you can, let the president arrange an armed escort!"
"You and your colleagues who stay here must also pay attention to safety, this hotel is not good, go to find a place to stay near the embassy!"
Cai Xu nodded again and again: "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, my brothers and I have been here for two or three years, and it is not so easy to have an accident!"
"It's better to be careful! Maybe sometime, even the Ethiopian authorities will be overthrown!"
After muttering, Tang Xiao walked to the stage.
The noisy and noisy scene, because of Tang Xiao's brought, immediately quieted down.
The scene was constantly crackling with the sound of camera shots, and many reporters were eagerly awaiting and ready to ask questions.
After sitting down, Tang Xiao squinted slightly, his eyes swept wide.
There are reporters of all colors, tall and short, male and female, fat and thin......
The top masters are generally very good at camouflage.
Mixed in this pile of people, it will definitely not be easily recognized.
Ahem!
After Cai Xu coughed lightly twice, he laughed loudly:
"Welcome all media friends to come to our press conference of Tanglong Industrial Group!"
"Next, I would like to invite our Mr. Tang to explain two situations for you!"
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately put forward an opinion.
"Why in Chinese, can you repeat it in English?"
Tang Xiao snorted lightly, took the microphone, and said in standard Chinese:
"As one of the most spoken languages in the world, Chinese is a language that news media reporters must master!"
"If you can't even understand Chinese, how can you write a news report truthfully?"
As soon as these words came out, there was immediately a small commotion in the audience, and there was a buzzing discussion.
"I will now clarify the two situations!"
Tang Xiao's tone was indifferent, and he said unhurriedly:
"The first is the East African SAM project. We were able to win the bid, it is the result of the joint efforts of everyone, we respect the competitors, but also respect the bid evaluation agency, the supervision agency and the owner's representative, I believe that all parties will adhere to the bidding results!"
"There are rumors that our company won the bid by luck, and the other three competitors are trying to find faults, so that our group is scrapped, and even the entire project is reopened, but this is definitely a rumor!"
"In this international bidding, our four companies competed fairly, justly and openly, and we strictly followed the bidding documents and relevant laws and regulations, and complied with international practices, everything is legal and compliant, and there is no doubt and overturning!"
......
Cai Xu, who was sitting on the side, secretly exclaimed.
Tang Xiao spoke so thoroughly in front of so many international media, but in fact, the main purpose was to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger.
Tell the three hooligans that everything in this bid is according to their arrangement.
Because if you don't win the bid, you have to overturn and start over, isn't that a shot in your own foot?
If you have to overturn and start over, doesn't that prove that there is a problem with the process they formulated in the first place?
Therefore, when Tang Xiao said this, Cai Xu believed in the three hooligans and did not dare to scrap the standard easily.
That's the equivalent of slapping yourself!
At this time, Tang Xiao paused slightly, and specially explained:
"The second is that the international community is generally concerned about the health of my lover. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all those who care, my lover is in good health, but the work intensity has been high recently, and the body is tired and needs to rest enough!"
"He is not terminally ill, and I will not be widowed, those who are too concerned about this matter, please don't make your own assumptions and speculate! We will be happily married, and those who question our relationship problems can also rest!"
"In the next ten minutes, you can ask questions freely, please raise your hand if you have any questions!"
Speaking of this, Tang Xiao raised his head slightly, frowned slightly, and looked cold.
She's curious!
Will the killer hiding among the journalists take the opportunity to do it?
