Chapter 158 Discussion
Chen Che returned to the embassy, tossed the camera to Lao Zhang, and then quickly found Jiang Ying and the others. He explained the situation to them, and Zhao Meng was the first to raise an objection, "Didn't you think of secretly checking the situation before making a decision?"
"Oh dear, you don't know, we weren't exactly close at the time, but the screams were terrifying. The boss didn't think much of it at the time, and besides, the camera was in the car. He was afraid of being discovered, so he told me to come back quickly." Chen Che hurriedly explained, looking at the group with anxious eyes.
"Didn't you see a single mercenary on your way here and there the past two days?" Huang Meng asked in a deep voice after a while.
"No, really no, but the boss did say something was off. But their attention is all on the government, so he just said it casually, and we didn't think much of it at the time."
"Is it possible that this is a trap?" Jiang Ying asked Chen Che. "Could it be that they discovered your actions a couple of days ago and are deliberately trying to lure you in today?"
“But Xu Ao went alone, without bringing anything. What are they planning to do?” Li Shuo added.
"Oh dear, I don't know. Whatever they're up to, it's definitely not safe for the boss to be alone in that den of thieves. Let's hurry over!"
“But even if we go there, can we get in? If they block us from entering, what reason can we give to get in? That’s their territory, and we can’t force our way in without evidence!” Jiang Ying pointed out the crux of the problem.
"What are we going to do then? Just give up?" Chen Che asked anxiously, seeing the troubled expressions on their faces.
Compared to their anxiety, Huang Meng was much calmer. She, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly spoke up and said, "It's very likely that Saudi Arabia deliberately lured Xu Ao in. Even if we went there, they would deny that Xu Ao was inside. We have no reason to force our way in."
“Yes, the difficulty now is that even if we know our people are inside, we can’t force our way in,” Zhao Meng continued.
"Then what do you suggest we do?" Chen Che said angrily.
"How is Old Zhang doing?" Huang Meng suddenly looked up at Jiang Ying and asked.
Chen Che looked at Jiang Ying with some confusion. Jiang Ying looked at Chen Che and said, "When you and Xu Ao went to the shantytown, a document was faxed over. The country requested that we provide as many photos of the urban area as possible. The photos we sent back before have already had a wide impact internationally, especially the photo of the skull, which has aroused the indignation of the people in China. We have received a promise that our army will act together with the international rescue team and will arrive here no later than the day after tomorrow. This was originally good news, and I planned to tell you after you came back."
After Jiang Ying finished speaking, she looked at Huang Meng with a worried expression. Xu Ao was being controlled, and she was the one who was most worried.
"What does that have to do with Lao Zhang?" Chen Che looked at Jiang Ying, still completely confused.
"The document states that international aid organizations need more photos of the shantytowns to determine the extent of the epidemic in the city. As long as Lao Zhang sends the photos from your camera back to China, the entire international aid organization can immediately launch a rescue operation. What we need now is to wait. Until then, the document requires us not to act rashly." Jiang Ying repeated the contents of the document she received this evening.
"But plans can't keep up with changes. If we don't act rashly, the boss will be dead. That Saudi has always disliked him. You guys received the fax from the international rescue team about to take action, didn't they get the news? What if he's going to drag the boss down with him in the end?!" Chen Che roared angrily. He suddenly felt disgusted with those so-called rules. It was really unpleasant to be tied up!
“So this time you and Jiang Ying stay at the embassy and don’t show yourselves. Stay with Lao Zhang and make sure he sends the photos back as soon as possible so we can go rescue Xu Ao.” Huang Meng said this in the calmest tone, which made everyone fall silent.
"No!" After a long while, Jiang Ying frowned and rejected her suggestion, glancing at Li Shuo, who was leaning against the desk as if nothing had happened, arms crossed and looking at her.
“You have no reason to refuse this time. If you make any moves, those mercenaries will definitely treat you badly. Just like Chen Che said, we can all receive news that the international rescue team is going to take action, so they must know it too. They are just doing things for money. Since the international rescue team can take action, it means that the plans of the mastermind behind them have failed. They can't get this country, this city, and they have already destroyed it. For them, as long as they leave before the rescue team arrives, their mission is complete. So, Chen Che is right. They may want to take revenge on Xu Ao before they leave.”
“So, you guys definitely shouldn’t go with them. If you all get caught up in the mess, what’s the point of us going to rescue Xu Ao? We might as well join hands and go find them together, at least we’ll all be together.” Zhao Meng picked up on Huang Meng’s words and said with a light laugh, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
