After hanging up the jackal's call, Chen Shen immediately received another call from Peng Xucheng, and he repeated the same words, of course, without pretending to be clever to delete or add any details.

Because he knows that the more he says, the more he is wrong.

In this case, the best way to deal with it is to bite into an established fact and answer with the same answer, no matter what other people ask.

This is one of the most basic techniques in the anti-interrogation strategy, and he cannot be said to be familiar with it, but it should be said that it has become instinctive.

So, under his almost seamless answer, both Jackal and Peng Xucheng basically accepted his statement, and even Peng Xucheng even mentioned it, saying that he should take this opportunity to try to deepen the connection with Chen Yimin and the Seventh Brigade.

How to deepen?

Find out the murderer and avenge Chen Shenhe.

Well, for Chen Shen, this is indeed a difficult task to complete, so the embarrassment he showed was not fake at all.

——

But it was this embarrassment that made his words more credible.

After all, if Chen Shen can't wait to do something to clear his suspicion, then maybe there will really be a meaning of "wanting to cover up".

After everything was processed, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning, and at this time, Chen Shen could finally really rest.

He lay comfortably on the bed without sheets and slept for a full five hours.

And when he woke up and walked out of the lounge, Lin He and Li Bang were already lying on the ground asleep, and Bao Qi, who was slightly more mobile, was on guard in the ward.

"How's it going, are you feeling better?"

Chen Shen asked.

"It's much better - the wound hurts, the painkiller has passed, but it's not a big problem, and it can be resisted."

Bao Qi's face revealed a different kind of resolute look, which is a momentum that can only be possessed after truly experiencing the test of life and death.

This battle was indeed not lost.

The jackal said before that the Dongfeng Corps was a sharp and brittle knife, and now, after a real tough battle, this corps has finally completed the tempering and has qualified toughness.

——

Of course, what is more important than the skills tempered from bullets, artillery fire, and blood is their spirit.

The world is the enemy, but the world is invincible.

What was the Dongfeng Corps a few months ago?

The cannon fodder of the Kokang Alliance, the waste who only thinks about escaping for his life after being besieged, the weak who only thinks it is luck even if he wins the battle, and doesn't know what to do without Chen Shen!

But what about now?

They defeated the hussars, subdued Garoja, killed the leader of the Lions, and caused them to lose nearly 50% of their numbers.

The most important thing is that the poisonous snake that wanted to bite them to death was also brought down with a clean shot

This is their first collision with the powerhouses of this land, and they. Victory!

Wounded?

What's that?

The meaning of victory, and the desire for victory, has taken root in everyone's heart.

That's why, Bao Qineng relied on a PKM to desperately drag the enemy's attack from Nayong Village in the most dangerous situation; That's why, Shi Dakai can take the initiative to let others leave him and go first when he is seriously injured; This is also why, after hearing Chen Shen's order, Li Bang will not hesitate to sit in the most dangerous driver's seat and save people without hesitation.

If the Dongfeng Corps, no matter how strong it was, was just an "armed group" before, then now, the flag of this team is really erected.

Chen Shen looked at Bao Qi's face and suddenly laughed.

"You played really well this time, although your marksmanship has not reached the level of strength, but you have played very smart in every battle."

"I also paid attention to your style of play when I was on the battlefield, and the target priority selection was very decisive and accurate, like an elite."

"Not good enough!"

Bao Qi smiled, and after a short pause, he suddenly asked:

"Brother Chen, when we came back from Menglang Temple, we said that we would grow up in battle, how about it, I did a good job, right?"

"Very good!"

Chen Shen said sincerely.

This is not a consolation or compliment against his will, but Bao Qi's performance is indeed worthy of his status as the core support of the team.

"Will do better in the future!"

Bao Qi said solemnly.

"Of course."

"But you have to heal your injuries quickly-—— rest in peace in the past two months, we won't go to the task for a short time, and digest the results of this mission first."

"$500,000?"

Bao Qi asked subconsciously.

"That's the least valuable thing."

Chen Shen shook his head and explained:

"Although our mission is to take on a package deal, we do encounter additional risks due to Chesri's intelligence mistakes."

"In this case, I must not knock the jackal out of blood?"

"Hmph, he still said that he was going to deduct my money, I want to see if he dares to deduct it."

Hearing his words, Bao Qi nodded thoughtfully, and then said:

"There's no reason for them to withhold our money-—— jackal, I can tell from his tone that he's just trying to take advantage of us, I mean, lip service."

"Why do you sound so wrong to me?"

Bao Qi smiled awkwardly.

"I didn't mean that. I mean, our mission this time is considered to be overfulfilled, and the things he promised should not be less, right? ”

"No, it won't."

"Weapons and equipment, status, endorsements for us, these will all be there"

Chen Shen's voice lowered.

He didn't talk much on this topic, but walked up to Li Bang and Lin He to wake them up and let them go to sleep in the lounge.

The two of them have indeed reached the limit, but they are not polite to Chen Shen.

——

After all, the two most important principles they learned from Chen Shen in the Dongfeng Corps were to stick to their responsibilities and believe in their comrades.

Fight when they should fight, sleep when they should sleep, it is simple, but it is the foundation that can allow them to recover their combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.

And after the two fell asleep, Chen Shen also let Bao Qi and Shi Dakai continue to rest, and he took on the responsibility of vigilance.

During this period, the doctor and nurse came to change Shi Dakai's medicine, and Chen Shen asked him with some concern, "how serious is the patient's condition", and the doctor's answer was, "It is about the same as appendectomy with a banana machete."

In other words, although the wound is a little deeper, and the scope of the injury is a little larger, it can still be recovered after all.

Chen Shen finally put his mind at ease.

The warriors who have just been trained will definitely not die halfway

Ward escort is actually a very boring job, in order not to affect the rest of others, Chen Shen can only watch the silent version of the TV.

There is no smart phone these days, and it is completely impossible to watch a short video to see the beautiful woman kicking her legs, there is really nothing to do, he even read the manual of the adjustable bed in the ward twice, and almost drove Bao Qi off the bed to disassemble and assemble it himself.

It wasn't until 6 p.m. that the hospital sent someone to bring dinner to the patients in the VIP ward.

And along with dinner, there were a few uninvited guests.

Chen Shen didn't know all of them, but he recognized the one leading the way in front - the leader of the special operations team.

His hand was vigilantly placed on his waist, and Bao Qi on the hospital bed also silently raised the backrest, and his right hand reached into the sheet.

Hidden there was a desert eagle that he never left with.

The team leader obviously noticed their movements, so he hurriedly spoke:

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous!"

"We have no ill will!"

"This is Staff Officer Zhu of the 756 Brigade, Staff Officer Zhu Qisheng Zhu, he heard that some of you were injured, so he came to see you."

"Of course, it is also to express our apologies for not acting in time, there was indeed a special operation last night, there was a small riot in the city of Mengbin, and we had to ensure the safety of the city first."

"Totally understood."

Chen Shen replied with a smile, but his hand did not leave the holster on his waist by an inch.

And at this time, the so-called Staff Officer Zhu also stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Chen Shen.

"Mr. Shipwreck, you don't have to be so sensitive, do you?"

"We are not enemies, haven't all your enemies been 'defeated'?"

Zhu Qisheng's words were meaningful, Chen Shen quietly shook his hand and replied:

"The Lions weren't that easy to defeat – but at least their leader died, which is good news for us."

"In the short term, we don't have to worry about going alone against them."

Both of them had guns and sticks in their words, and Chen Shen really couldn't show much good face to this representative of the forces who once wanted his own life.

However, he still cautiously avoided questions about the so-called "enemy", and was not "fished out" by Zhu Qisheng's temptation.

A look of confusion flashed in the latter's eyes, but he quickly adjusted again.

As he sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up an apple and peeled it with the fruit knife on the table, he spoke:

"Either way, we do owe an apology to you. Of course, I also apologize to Chesri Group. ”

"Because of our mistakes, this operation was in danger, and we will take this responsibility no matter what."

"And since I'm here, I must have come with sincerity."

"Mr. Sunken, Ming people don't say secret words, we will compensate you for your losses with 100,000 US dollars, as a disability pension - the medical expenses of your team members will also be borne by us."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Shen was shocked.

$100,000 is not a small number, to be exact, in this ruined place in northern Myanmar, the disability pension of $100,000 is already an unprecedentedly high price, and normally speaking, this money is enough to be paid to the families of 10 mercenaries who died in battle.

What kind of medicine is sold in this kid's gourd?

Chen Shen didn't think that he could get such a high preferential treatment in the regular army just by fighting a few battles and destroying a few mercenary groups, because no matter how strong the mercenaries were, they were just mercenaries in their eyes, and they would never be able to get on the stage.

It's not that the plot of Natou Benbai is nothing, but it must not fall on him, let alone happen at this point in time

So, instead of nodding, he opened his mouth and asked:

"It seems that Staff Officer Zhu needs my assistance with something?"

"Mr. Shipwreck is a smart man."

Zhu Qisheng smiled and nodded, threw a whole peel into the trash, and then put the peeled apple on the plate, and the fruit knife was stuck straight on it.

"Then I'll be blunt."

"Regarding the 'cargo' you were escorting, the woman named Jiya, she gave us some information-—— some information that was completely unrelated to what we all already knew, but useful to us."

"Based on the importance of this information, the 756 Brigade has made a decision to keep her in Meng Bin for a while, at least until we find out the authenticity of the information and figure out the solution, and then hand her over to the Thai side."

"But you know, the Thai people want her to be very urgent, and Chesri is urging us very urgently, and we are under a lot of pressure."

"And as it happens, Mr. Shipwreck, you have a closer relationship with Chesri's side."

"So, we want you to be the middleman to help us negotiate with Chesri and buy us more time."

"The specific goal is two weeks."

"As long as Chesri agrees to keep that woman in Meng Bin for two more weeks, our goal will be achieved, and you will be able to get a generous show of sincerity from our side."

"Of course, if you can make the most of your abilities and extend the time to more than two weeks, we will pay an extra amount for each additional day."

"It's a good deal, isn't it? Our quote is $10,000 per day. ”

"Mr. Shipwreck, do you want to think about it?"

Chen Shen looked at Zhu Qisheng with a frown, but he didn't accept it immediately, and of course he didn't refuse immediately.

He had already guessed that the 756 Brigade would find a way to keep Ji Ya, because the information in Ji Ya's hands was too tempting for them.

But he didn't expect that the other party would want to use this way to achieve his goal.

When did Chesri get so powerful?

——

No, it's not Chaisri they're afraid of, they're afraid of Thailand.

"Good offices"?

That's a nice thing to say, but to put it bluntly, isn't it just trying to find a backbiter?

Do you really think that whoever goes to Chesri and talks to the Thais will help others to postpone the handover?

If you think about it on your toes, you must have to create a strong enough reason.

Whether it's kidnapping, injury, or, someone has to make it happen, and then use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Chesri.

And the person who implements this will have to bear all the risks.

It's hilarious.

They didn't dare to offend the Thai side, so they wanted to make themselves the first bird, and this calculation was so good that even the old men in Bangkok could hear it

"I don't accept it."

Chen Shen replied without hesitation:

"My mission has been accomplished, and everything that happens after that has nothing to do with me."

"The price can be doubled."

Zhu Qisheng immediately said:

"I know it's risky, but it's worth it, isn't it?"

"Thai people are rules-oriented, they don't just go crazy and try it, so what's so bad?"

"I can't do it, now I can only use it alone, how can I do it? Staff Officer Zhu, you're a bit of a strongman. ”

"Understood."

Zhu Qisheng sighed and continued:

"Regardless, this is only the first time we have communicated, and I believe that the decision you make at this point does not represent the final decision."

"Remember my call, we'll meet again, hopefully by then, we'll have a pleasant consensus"

With that, Zhu Qisheng stood up.

He casually threw the apple on the table into the trash can along with the fruit knife, and the action was as natural as if it were just an insignificant piece of garbage.

Chen Shen's eyes froze, but he didn't speak in the end.

He watched Zhu Qisheng leave, and then immediately dialed the jackal's phone.

"Jackal, I have an important piece of information to sell you."

"Very important, you're going to be interested."

"No, no, no, I don't take money this time."

"That's right, not a penny."

"Of course, if you have to say thank you, you have a radio listening device, right?"

"No, no, how could I want to take it for nothing!"

"I just want to borrow it, don't be so stingy."
