Gale

After hanging up Jackal's call, Chen Chen immediately received another call from Peng Xucheng. He repeated the same words again, of course, without deleting or adding any details in a clever way.

Because he knows that the more he talks, the more mistakes he makes.

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

This is the most basic technique in the anti-interrogation strategy. It cannot be said that he is familiar with it by heart. It should be said that it has become instinctive.

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

How to deepen it?

Find the murderer and avenge Chen Shenhe.

Well, for Chen Chen, 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 Chen can't wait to do something to clear himself of suspicion, then maybe he really means covering up the truth.

After everything was dealt with, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning. At this time, Chen Chen could finally take a rest.

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

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

How's it going? Are you feeling better?

Chen Chen asked.

Much better - the wound is very painful and the effect of the painkillers has worn off, but it's not a big problem and I can handle it.

Bao Qi's face revealed a different kind of perseverance, an aura that can only be possessed after truly experiencing the test of life and death.

This battle was indeed a good one.

Jackal said before that the Dongfeng Corps was a sharp and crisp knife, but now, after a truly tough battle, this Corps has finally completed its tempering and has qualified toughness.

——

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

There are enemies in the world, but a spirit that is invincible.

What was the Dongfeng Corps a few months ago?

The cannon fodder of the Kokang Alliance, the loser who only wanted to escape after being besieged, the weak man who only thought it was luck even if he won the battle, and the weak man who didn't know what to do without Chen Chen!

But what now?

They defeated the Piao camp, defeated the Garoja, killed the leader of the Lion Corps and caused their attrition to nearly 50%.

The most important thing is that the venomous snake that wanted to bite them to death was killed with one shot.

This was their first collision with the strong men on this land, and they won a great victory!

Injuried?

What's that?

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

This is why, in the most dangerous situation, Bao Qineng relied on a PKM to hold off the enemy attack from Nayong Village; this is why, when Shi Dakai was seriously injured, he took the initiative to let others leave him and leave first; this is also why, After hearing Chen Chen's order, Gang Li will not hesitate to sit in the most dangerous driver's seat and go to save people without hesitation.

If the previous Dongfeng Corps was just an armed group no matter how powerful it was, then now, the flag of this team has truly been raised.

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

You fought really well this time. Although your marksmanship has not reached a very strong level, you fought smart in every battle.

I also paid attention to your playing style when I was on the battlefield. Your target priority selection is very decisive and accurate. You look like an elite.

Not good enough!

Bao Qi chuckled, and after a brief pause, he suddenly asked:

Brother Chen, when we came back from Menglang Temple, you said you wanted to grow in battle. How about it? I did pretty well, right?

very nice!

Chen Chen said sincerely.

This is not an unintentional consolation or compliment, but Bao Qi's performance is indeed worthy of his status as the core supporter of the team.

I will do better in the future!

Bao Qi said solemnly.

certainly.

But you have to heal your injuries quickly first - just rest peacefully in the next two months. We won't be taking on missions in the short term. Let's digest the results of this mission first.

$500,000?

Bao Qi asked subconsciously.

That's the least valuable thing.

Chen Chen shook his head and explained:

Although our mission was a package deal, we did encounter additional risks due to Chaisili's intelligence errors.

In this case, I'm not allowed to knock the jackal's blood out?

Humph, he's still saying he wants to deduct my money. I want to see if he dares to deduct it.

After hearing his words, Bao Qi nodded thoughtfully, and then said:

There is no reason for them to withhold our money - Jackal, I can tell from his tone, he just wants to take advantage of us, I mean, take advantage in words.

Why do your words sound so wrong to me?

Bao Qi smiled awkwardly.

That's not what I meant. What I mean is that our mission this time has been overfulfilled. The things he promised should not be less, right?

Will not.

Weapons and equipment, status, and endorsements given to us will all be there.

Chen Chen's voice lowered.

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

The two of them had indeed reached their limit, and they were not polite to Chen Chen.

——

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

Fight when you need to fight, sleep when you need to sleep, simple, but it is the basis for them to recover their combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.

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

During this period, doctors and nurses came over to change Shi Dakai's medicine. Chen Chen asked him worriedly, How serious is the patient's condition? The doctor's answer was, It's about the same as using a banana machete to perform an appendectomy. degree.

In other words, even if the wound is deep and the scope of the injury is large, it can still be recovered.

Chen Chen finally felt relieved.

The warriors who have just been trained will definitely not die in the process.

Being a ward escort is actually a very boring job. In order not to affect other people's rest, Chen Chen can only watch the silent version on TV.

There are no smart phones these days, so it is completely impossible to watch a short video of a beautiful woman kicking her legs. There is really nothing to do. He even read the user manual of the adjustable hospital bed placed in the ward twice. He just had to drive Bao Qi out of bed and try to disassemble and assemble it himself.

It was not until 6 p.m. that the hospital sent someone to deliver dinner to the patients in the VIP ward.

And along with dinner came a few uninvited guests.

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

His hands were placed on his waist vigilantly. Bao Qi, who was on the hospital bed, also silently raised the backrest and put his right hand into the sheets.

Hidden there is a desert eagle that he never leaves.

The team leader obviously noticed their actions, so he quickly said:

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

We mean no harm!

This is Staff Officer Zhu from the 756th Brigade, Staff Officer Zhu Qisheng. He heard that some of you were injured and came here to see you.

Of course, it is also to express our apology for not acting in time. There was indeed a special operation last night. There was a small-scale riot in Mengbin City. We had to ensure the safety of the city first.

Completely understand.

Chen Chen answered with a smile, but his hand did not leave the holster on his waist for an inch.

At this time, the so-called Staff Officer Zhu also stepped forward and extended his hand to Chen Chen.

Mr. Wreck, there's no need to be so sensitive, right?

We are not enemies. Aren't all your enemies already 'defeated'?

Zhu Qisheng's words were profound. Chen Chen calmly held his hand and replied:

The Lions are not that easy to defeat - but at least their leader is dead, which is good news for us.

In the short term, we no longer have to worry about fighting them alone.

The words of both of them were full of guns and sticks. Chen Chen really couldn't show much kindness towards this representative of the force that once wanted his own life.

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

There was a look of confusion in the latter's eyes, but he quickly adjusted it.

He sat down beside the hospital bed calmly, picked up an apple and peeled it with a fruit knife on the table, and said:

No matter what, we should indeed express our apology to you. Of course, we also apologize to the Chaisili Group.

Because of our mistakes, this operation was in danger. We will shoulder this responsibility no matter what.

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

Mr. Wreck, if you don't tell me any secrets, we will use one hundred thousand US dollars to compensate you for your losses. As a disability pension, we will also bear the medical expenses of your team members.

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

100,000 US dollars is not a small number. To be precise, in this poor place in northern Myanmar, a disability pension of 100,000 US dollars is an unprecedentedly high price. Normally, this amount of money is enough to pay to 10 mercenaries who died in the war. family members.

What medicine is this guy selling in his gourd?

Chen Chen didn't think that he could get such high preferential treatment from 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. , will never be able to get on the stage.

It’s true that there are plots where people bow to you at the drop of a hat, but it definitely won’t happen to you, and it won’t happen at this point in time.

So, he did not nod, but asked:

It seems that Staff Zhu needs my help with something?

Mr. Wreck is indeed a smart man.

Zhu Qisheng nodded with a smile, threw the whole peel into the trash can, and then placed the peeled apple on the plate, with the fruit knife stuck straight on it.

Then I'll tell you straight.

Regarding the 'cargo' you escorted, the woman named Jiya, she provided us with some information - some information that is completely unrelated to what we already know, but is very useful to us.

Based on the importance of this information, the 756th Brigade has made a decision to keep her in Mengbin for a period of time, at least until we understand the authenticity of the information and the solution before handing her over to Thailand. square.

But you know, the Thais want her very urgently, and Chaisri is also very urgent in urging us. We are under a lot of pressure.

And as it happens, Mr. Sunken Ship, you have a relatively close relationship with Chaisili.

So, we hope that you will be the middleman to help us negotiate with Chaisili and help us buy more time.

The specific goal is, two weeks.

As long as Chaisili agrees to keep that woman in Mengbin for two more weeks, our goal will be achieved, and you will also receive a generous expression of sincerity from us.

Of course, if you can give full play to your ability and extend the time to more than two weeks, we will pay an extra amount for every extra day.

Is this a good deal? Our price is $10,000 per day.

Mr. Wreck, do you want to think about it?

Chen Chen frowned and looked at Zhu Qisheng. He didn't accept it immediately, and of course he didn't reject it immediately.

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

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

When did Chaisili's power grow to this extent?

——

No, they are not afraid of Chai Sri, they are afraid of Thailand.

Mediation?

This sounds nice, but to put it bluntly, don't you just want to find someone to take the blame?

Do you really think that if anyone says a few nice words to Chaisri and the Thai people, they will be helpful and postpone the handover time?

You can tell with your toes that you definitely need to create a strong enough reason.

Regardless of whether the reason is kidnapping, injury, or some nonsense, in short, someone must implement this matter and then use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Chaisili.

The person who implements this matter will bear all risks.

So funny.

They don't dare to offend Thailand, so they just want to be the first. This plan is so serious that even the gentlemen in Bangkok can hear it.

I do not accept.

Chen Chen replied without hesitation:

My mission has been completed, and everything that happens next has nothing to do with me.

The price can be doubled.

Zhu Qisheng said immediately:

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

Thai people follow the rules. They won't go crazy and try it casually. So what's wrong with it?

It can't be done. Now I only have one person available. How can I do it? Staff Zhu, you are forcing yourself to do something difficult.

Understood.

Zhu Qisheng sighed and continued:

But no matter what, this is just the first communication between us. I believe that the decision you make at this time does not represent the final decision.

Remember my phone number. We will meet again. I hope that by then, we can have a pleasant consensus.

After saying that, Zhu Qisheng stood up.

He casually threw the apple on the table into the trash can together with the fruit knife. His movements were very natural, as if it was just an insignificant piece of garbage.

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

He watched Zhu Qisheng leave, and then immediately dialed Jackal's phone number.

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

Very important, you will definitely be interested.

No, no, no, I won't charge you this time.

That's right, not a penny.

Of course, if you must express your gratitude you have a radio listening device, right?

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

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