Four days later, Wan Ru, Liu Yanhong, and Tang Hui walked out of the Capital International Airport of Country A.

The smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and sometimes you could hear the rumbling of artillery and the sharp sound of gunfire in the distance.

All three of them wore trench coats and backpacks on their backs, standing on the side of the road outside the airport.

The sun lazily shone on the gray earth, and people came and went, with panicked expressions on their faces.

Half an hour later, Xiao Liangzi drove a red flag car with the Chinese flag logo to their side and stopped, and the three of them immediately got into the car.

Wanru sat in the co-pilot and asked eagerly, "Do you know Yuchen's whereabouts?" ”

Xiao Liangzi drove the car onto the road, and while avoiding the vehicles and pedestrians on the road, he said:

"I heard that they were forcibly escorted to a farm in the mountains. The farm, owned by the anti-government leader Uncle Tyrem, is now a base for them and is very closely guarded. ”

Wanru asked, "Where do you want to take us now?" ”

"Go to the embassy first. It's relatively safe there. ”

Wanru said simply:

We came here this time, even the Longtan Tiger's Den had to go and break in. Drop us off at the hotel. Don't go to the embassy just yet. so as not to arouse the curiosity of some.

We're here as a personal act. It's easier to act in the dark.

Xiao Liangzi nodded and said approvingly:

Good. Now around the embassy, there are people watching both openly and secretly.

Many unknown people have their own agendas. The outbreak of war has made many adventurers become active, and they want to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Among them, there are many people who sell intelligence and weapons, and they all want to make war profits.

Liu Yanhong said: "You just look for a hotel that is safe and can find out the news." At no time, there will be no shortage of such places. ”

Xiao Liangzi said:

There is a hotel called Shunchang Hotel, and the owner of this hotel is called Rudis, who is very influential, and he has business dealings with many countries. We handle a lot of products and have a wide range of purchase channels.

Now he is standing in a neutral position, and neither side will do anything to his hotel, supermarket, and even some things, both sides still need him to pass on the message.

Help them buy weapons, food, daily necessities, etc., and even help find mercenaries, so this hotel has become the safest harbor.

However, once out of the hotel, they are not responsible for any problems that arise.

Wanru scoffed and asked, "There is no free dinner in the world, and all kinds of expenses must be very high, right?" ”

"Of course. The cost of the hotel in Shunchang is not generally high. A night's stay costs more than $2,000, not including meals and other expenses. ”

Wanru asked lightly: "As long as you can find out about Yuchen and them, money is not a problem." ”

Xiao Liangzi said: The news also has to be bought with money, and it is all at a fixed price. But they don't lie, the information is absolutely accurate.

In addition to the news traffickers, there are also weapons and medicines.

The supermarket next to them can buy anything as long as you have money. The boss will also match up some mercenaries.

Any transaction will be settled in USD only.

When the car drove to the front of the Shunchang Hotel, Liu Yanhong handed Xiao Liangzi a bank card and said:

"I'm coming over this time, and the third uncle will give me two cards, so that you can send the people who stay in the embassy away first, leave a few people to protect the embassy, and cooperate with us at any time."

Xiao Liangzi took the bank card and put it up directly.

looked at Wanru and said, "Sister, are you going to live in a hotel?" ”

Wanru nodded silently and said:

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, where is the news? I'll meet the plane. Don't call me, I'll get back to you if necessary. You are looking for a way to get out of the way after you rescue the person from now on. ”

"Okay. I will wait for your news. Xiao Liangzi had no choice but to reluctantly drive away.

Tang Hui saw a bank next to the hotel and asked Wanru, "Sister, should we mention some cash?" ”

Wanru said: "No, I have already prepared some of them. ”

When I walked into the front desk of the hotel, a beautiful female staff member asked in English, "Ma'am, do you want to stay or eat?" ”

Wanru said: "Accommodation, can you settle the bill one day?" ”

"Okay, how many rooms do you three have?"

"Two rooms, one of which has two beds."

With a spring breeze smile on her face, the female clerk said, "Two thousand four hundred dollars per person a night." The room is very well equipped with all kinds of supporting facilities. ”

Wanru didn't talk nonsense, and after taking out the money from her backpack and paying it off, a middle-aged man wearing a hotel uniform and a beard took the key and led them into the elevator.

When the elevator reached the tenth floor, the bearded man opened the door and said, "This is a relatively high-end room, and there is hot water all day." There was also free laundry and shoe shine. ”

Wanru saw that inside, it was indeed a five-star specification.

When the beard was about to turn away, he hurriedly called out to him.

He handed him twenty dollars and said, "I want to ask for some news, can you give me some advice?" ”

When the bearded man saw Wanru's hand, there were a few hundred-yuan bills, and his eyes immediately radiated.

Hurriedly closed the door and asked in a low voice, "What?" ”

"Hengtong Group Company, the whereabouts of Mr. Wang's people."

The bearded man frowned slightly, glanced at the banknote in Wanru's hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know much." ”

"How much do you know? Say as much as you want. I have my own judgment. Wanru handed him a hundred dollars.

He took the money and immediately put it up, and said happily:

Twenty days ago, they and their families from several other businesses were taken to Sunshine Farm in the western mountains. Tyrem wants to force them to pay for their lives, and the price varies from one person to another.

There was already a family who paid to leave, and it was our boss Rudis who pulled the string.

Wanru said coldly: "Tell the point!" ”

The bearded man was a little embarrassed and said:

"I don't know much about Hengtong Company. However, I know of six young people from Asia, who were commissioned by their relatives to come and try to take them away, and they almost succeeded. The people of the wolf mercenary group were abducted from the middle of the road. ”

Wanru gave him another hundred dollars and asked, "Tell me about the wolf mercenary group?" ”

"There are twenty people in this corps. They ask for a high price, serving Tyrem for three months and giving them a commission of fifteen million dollars. ”

Liu Yanhong asked, "How many women are among them?" ”

"There were three of them, who came to our hotel for one night, and escorted a batch of weapons away the next day."

Wanru gave him another hundred dollars and said, "You have to keep your mouth shut about today's conversation. If you know, anyone has news about this, let me know. ”

The bearded man smiled and said, "Okay." Wait for my message. ”

After Wanru saw her off, she closed the door and sat on the sofa.

Liu Yanhong took out tea and water cups from her backpack and made a cup for each of the three of them. also sat down with Tang Hui.

Tang Hui asked, "Sister, what are your plans?" Do you want to go to the farm to save people yourself? ”

Wanru rubbed her eyebrows tiredly, her eyes bloodshot. Unhurriedly said:

Let's take a look at the situation first.

During this time, everyone worked hard, drank saliva, rested for two hours, and then went to eat, we went separately to inquire.

Tang Hui, you are responsible for finding out the exact location of the farm, it is best to find a guide, don't be afraid to spend money.

Liu Yanhong went to inquire about the news of the wolf pack mercenaries.

After saying that, he gave 20,000 US dollars to each person.

And he said, "There is not enough money." So I brought them to me. ”

Tang Hui took the money and went back to his room with a glass of water.

Liu Yanhong drank a few sips of water and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When she came out, she saw that Wanru was already asleep on the sofa.

Three hours later, it was almost dusk, Wanru walked out of the room and came to the coffee house on the first floor, which was more than 300 square meters, which was almost full.

It seems that they all live here for refuge, or have a business to do.

Wanru saw a table by the window, and two people stood up to leave, so she immediately walked over and sat down.

The waiter stepped forward, and Wanru ordered a cup of cat poop coffee, and asked for a plate of snacks and two plates of nuts.

Then, through the entire glass wall, I looked at the people hurrying outside the hotel, and from time to time there were young men carrying guns in twos and threes.

Sometimes from a distance, there are a few crisp gunshots, cries, and howls.

Tang Hui was at a round table against the wall, chatting with a man who didn't look like a local.

Just as Wanru was looking for Liu Yanhong, the bearded man approached Wanru and whispered:

"I heard the news that in three days' time, there will be another armed conflict between the two sides, and our boss is worried about buying weapons."

Wanru asked, "Is he in the hotel now?" ”

"Yes, it's in the easternmost office on the second floor. However, he was not a good talker. ”

Wanru thought to herself that three days later, if the two sides really want to fight, maybe it will be a good time to go to the farm to save people. However, you must have a guide and be familiar with the inside of the farm.

If you really can't save people, you can only pay a ransom, and Yuchen's lives, for themselves, cannot be measured by money.

Damn it! If you're going to push me hard, I'm going to have to cause you a lot of trouble.

Wanru gave him twenty dollars and sent him away.

She took a sip from her coffee cup, and then behaved leisurely, eating a snack, but she pricked up her ears and listened to some people's conversations.

I heard a voice say, "I have heard that the negotiations between the two sides have not been successful, and that war is about to begin, and that we had better get out of here as soon as possible." ”

"I also heard that the government army bought a lot of weapons, as well as tanks, artillery. A shipment of weapons was also delivered from Taylem. Now the saber rattling, both want to swallow each other. If you want to wait for an armistice and reconciliation, it is absolutely impossible. ”

"That's right. I heard that the government has also recruited two mercenaries. This time it's definitely not a petty fight. Both sides are recruiting young men to serve as soldiers. ”

"The people who caught the farm, if they don't pay for their lives, let them block the bullets."

The more Wanru listened, the more anxious she became, and she dreamed a lot at night. If you really let Yuchen and them go to the battlefield, it will be even more difficult to find them, and it will be dangerous and unpredictable.

Liu Yanhong came over and sat down and said, "Sister, I talked to a woman just now.

She said that Hengtong had stopped work half a year ago, and the machines were all packed, and they were supposed to go back to Singapore to stay away from here. But it was forcibly stopped by the government.

Later, the rebels led by Tylem occupied the area, and they directly detained the machine, and the people were also arrested and taken away.

If one side wants to win, it must be backed by a large amount of money, not only Hengtong Company, but also more than a dozen business owners of different sizes, all of whom have become wronged.

Wanru said: "Machines and other things are outside the body, as long as you take people away, it is victory."

Let's go, let's go to dinner. ”

When Wanru and Liu Yanhong walked towards the restaurant, Tang Hui saw them.

After Wanru and Liu Yanhong ordered the dishes, Tang Hui also came over and sat down.

He whispered to Wanru: "Sister, there is a casino on the basement floor of this hotel. Their boss goes to a few gambles with some big guys every day.

I have an idea, you should also go over and take the opportunity to get acquainted with the owner of the hotel. We can only have the best chance of winning with the help of his energy.

The corners of Wanru's mouth rose, and she nodded and said, "Okay, after eating, we'll go over." ”

Just when our Miss Zhang already had a plan in her heart.

In the tree house of Mangshan.

Wanru's uncle was drinking tea with General Shangguan, but they were all silent, looking up at the night sky together, counting the stars.

General Shangguan took a sip of the teacup and asked softly, "Old man, do you have something on your mind?" ”

The old man retracted his gaze, looked at the old general and said worriedly:

"A few days ago, Wanru called, she said that she was going on a mission, she wanted to hear my voice, and also asked me to say hello to you and the couple. I felt that this girl was in a heavy mood, and I was a little worried about them. ”

The old man's gaze was condensed on the old man's face. knows that Wanru occupies a very high position in the heart of this old man.

He has been sullen for the past few days, and it turned out that he was worried about Wanru.

Said gently to him: "Wanru's eldest son and younger son-in-law are both soldiers. to perform a special task. Because of some circumstances, his whereabouts are still unknown. She went there this time to bring them all home. My son, they, are there now. ”

The old man nodded silently, and his eyes looked at the sky again.

He had heard Wanru talk about the reason why he recognized this general as his godfather. It seems that the general also cares about Wanru very much.

General Shangguan didn't say anything when he saw the old man.

He comforted him again: "Don't worry." This girl is not only a master of art and bold, but she is also thoughtful, calm and introverted, and she is brave and strategic. She has already broken through the Longtan Tiger's Den more than once. ”

After hearing this, the old man's deep eyes did not subside in the slightest. Knowing that she is a mother, sometimes caring is chaotic, not to mention that good luck sometimes runs out.

These days, there are some bad omens in the budget, but I can only panic and hurry, but I can't help her. This is the sorrow of oneself in this era.

If she was still living in the thirties and forties, she would have gone out of the mountains without hesitation to help her.

Alas!

It was late at night, and the old man returned to his room, picked up a jar of wine, and silently came to the cemetery in front of the hillside.

came to the tomb of the elder brother and sat on the ground, took out two wine glasses and filled them one by one.

He poured a glass of wine in front of the tombstone and said softly:

Senior brother, I have deposited my heart for more than a hundred years, and since your precious apprentice went up the mountain, I have gradually become more energetic.

In particular, her two lovely sons came to me, which made me feel blessed to have a family.

To tell you the truth, in my heart, I also regard the girl as an apprentice, a relative, or a daughter, and the two little ones as grandchildren.

The old man picked up the jar of wine, poured half of it down in one go, and then said with tears in his eyes:

Thank you, brother, for making me feel the warmth and care of my family in this life.

Whining--

Senior brother, I'm so afraid of losing this family affection. I'm even more afraid of losing such a good girl. You know that you must bless her to come back safely.

The night sky was deep, and the mountain breeze blew away the old man's gray hair and dried the tears on the old man's cheeks. The wrinkled face was even more vicissitudes.

After drinking a jar of wine, the old man leaned in front of the tombstone, as if in a drunken dream, waiting for the elder brother's reply.

In the underground casino of the Shunchang Hotel, Liu Yanhong and Tang Hui were watching Wanru eat it all over again.

In several big bets, Wanru has won more than three million dollars.

Just as Wanru was about to bet again, she was called aside by the dealer and whispered, "Madam, our boss wants to talk to you." ”

Wanru finally smiled heartily, this is her purpose.

Let Liu Yanhong and Tang Hui, with the chips they won, follow the dealer to an office on the second floor.

Rudis, the stocky boss, was sitting on the couch drinking tea. Seeing Wanru come in, he politely stretched out his hand and asked her to sit down.

Wanru unceremoniously sat down on the single sofa across from him.

Rudis poured a cup of tea and put it in front of Wanru, and said with a faint smile on his face: "Haha, the lady is not here just for gambling money, right?" ”

Wanru picked up the teacup and took a sip, not in a hurry to answer, and said with a smile: "Haha, what a fragrant jasmine tea." ”

Rudis smiled lightly and said, "I know that you Chinese people love to drink tea, and it is specially prepared for you." ”

After speaking, he poured a cup for Liu Yanhong and Tang Hui, and invited them to sit down.

Wanru looked at him and said: We are all understanding people, so I will have something to say.

I was entrusted by the family of Hengtong Company to take them away. Don't know what Mr. Rudis suggests?

Of course, it won't let you worry about it in vain. All the chips here are yours. How is it?

Rudis saw so many chips and already knew how much it was.

Swallowing greedily, he said with a smile:

"There is a certain degree of difficulty in this matter, Hengtong Company has strong economic strength, but their boss is still very picky, and he doesn't want to get a copper plate."

Wanru gave him a contemptuous look in her heart, and said lightly:

Haha, there are more than three million yuan here, if you ask a mercenary to save people, is it more than enough?

Besides, hostage-taking itself is an act of banditry, is there any justification? Is it a war between them, on what basis? Let Boss Wang pay for them!

Rudis glanced at the chips.

Looking at the three of Wanru with a sly gaze, he asked:

As you said, there's no reason to talk about it. With the three of you, you want to rescue so many people. Isn't it a little too naïve.

The farm is surrounded by barbed wire, landmines inside and out, and guarded by a pack of wolfdogs.

Wanru reached out and picked up the teapot, refilled the tea for everyone, and said unhurriedly:

You just say more than three million yuan, what can you do for us?

There is an old proverb in our nation, 'Answering the word of the man, the thing of loyalty', and we must do this.

After hearing this, a solemn look appeared on Rudis's face.

Ning Mei pondered for a while, and said, "I can provide you with a weapon and find you a guide." And it can also provide you with a car. ”

Wanru stared at him unmoved.

He continued: I can give you drawings around the farm.

Their strongest force is the wolf mercenaries, and tomorrow afternoon, they will send a large group of people to the airport to escort weapons.

This is the best time for you to save people.

Wanru said: "If we don't need the weapons you provide, and after rescuing the people, we will give you some weapons, what else can you do for us?" ”

Rudis's eyes immediately radiated, and he asked eagerly, "What kind of weapons are they?" ”

"Fifty MP5 submachine guns, 3,000 rounds of ammunition, and 200 Type 84 grenades. If we can bring people out without firing a single shot, we will give you all these weapons. If there's a firefight, no matter how much is left, it's all yours. ”

"Haha, I will provide you with a means of evacuation transportation, and after rescuing people, come to my hotel, I will not take a penny, and escort you to the airport safely. The premise is that there are planes waiting for you. ”

Wanru stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Deal!" ”

Rudis shook hands with Wanru and said with a smile:

"Tomorrow at noon, I will arrange someone to take you on your journey, and we will keep in touch and pick you up at any time to take refuge in the hotel. I have a small request, can you tell me a little bit about the skills of winning bets? ”

Wan Ru Wan'er smiled and said, "It's not something that can be learned overnight. However, if you have the opportunity to go to Huaxia, I will invite you to drink. ”

Rudis, knowing that his demands would not come to fruition, stood up and sent them out the door.
