Chapter 28 Chapter 28
Looking at Lin Shu's bleeding wound and his indifferent expression, Jimmy knew that something had changed, it would never be the same.
"forest?"
Lin Mu didn't look at him, and ordered in a low voice: "Let go of the others first."
It was the first time for Jimmy to see Lin Mu talking to him like this - in the past, Lin Mu had always been patient and gentle when talking to him.Even if it was a request, there was a smile on his lips, as if no matter how considerate he was, he was not enough.But this time Lin Mu didn't look at him, and indifferently asked him to take care of others first.
Jimmy untied the tree first and handed him a towel.Only then did he fulfill his wish, releasing the remaining hostages in the house, Ji Yuanyuan, Aunt Aruna, Ajit and Chen Yan one by one.
Chen Yan immediately rushed forward to give first aid to Ajit, and at the same time called Dr. Pete, begging him to make an exception and send an ambulance from the American Aid Association.
Ji Yuanyuan took out her mobile phone, but was stopped by Lin Mu.His voice was full of fatigue after the dust had settled: "Don't call the police. You can't call the police..."
He looked at Jimmy: "You're selling a goddamn thing, you can't call the police if you want to live."
Jimmy couldn't defend himself, so he could only find a clean tie from the closet, and came out to tie Lin Shu up.Lin Mu didn't refuse, and didn't speak anymore, as if he was extremely tired.
Jimmy carefully bandaged the wound on Lin Shu's head.He saw dumpling spilled on the ground, and the water in the kitchen pot had boiled dry and was still steaming.
Just now, an hour ago, they had gathered so happily to eat dumplings.In just one hour, everything changed, and the three southern countries fell into the cloud of hot war again.
Jimmy hugged Lin Mu, and solemnly branded a kiss on his forehead.
Lin Mu pushed him away: "Let's calm down first."
"What do you mean?"
Lin Mu stood up without letting him help him.They went outside together.The cold air in the desert at night makes people's mouth frost.
Then Jimmy heard Lin Mu say: "Take a rest first. I think... I need to rest for a while. Doesn't your mother really want you to go back to London for the Spring Festival? You can go back and see her. If the Spring Festival is over, you and I... we... still want to be together... we can talk about it again."
"What is talking again?! What is taking a break?! How long is it? Is it because we are separated today that I will never see you again?"
Lin Mu looked at Jimmy, and then at the warm orange lights of thousands of households in Thar under the city wall, without nodding or shaking his head.
Jimmy's eyes were red.
"Is it because of danger? It's dangerous to be with me?"
Lin Mu shook his head.
"That's because I didn't do well enough? I didn't do well enough to make you dislike me. Tell me, I can change it, Lin Mu..."
He was almost begging.But Lin Mu still shook his head.
"Forest trees..." Jimmy didn't feel his tears flow down, frozen into a thin layer of frost.His heart was still hot, "Don't drive me away...why...you have to drive me away?"
Lin Shu took a deep breath, raised his hand, and then slowly put it down.
He said, "There's a lot of things, Jimmy, a lot of things we can't—"
"Yeah... What did you see Wen... Has Wen Yuxing changed his mind?" Jimmy looked up at him, with stars shining in his eyes.He asked Jeremy to find out who sent those text messages. That person was the young owner of the letter and the general manager of the Southern Three Kingdoms subsidiary.
This time, Lin Mu finally nodded:
"Yes. I, I have nothing to excuse myself."
Jimmy grabbed Lin Mu's right hand, gripping so tightly that there were red marks on his fingers.Then he stroked Lin Shu's fingers one by one very gently.His fingers had tightly grasped the flying pole, traveled across the vast land of the three southern countries, overlooking the land that humans have lived, loved, and fought endlessly for trillions of years.
Now he is leaving.This is saying goodbye to him.
Jimmy sniffed, gathered his spirits, and pulled out a heartless smile: "I'm sorry... Didn't I say before that, no matter if I accompany you on night flights or Japan Airlines... I'm sorry, I I'm going to break my promise."
He sent the trees to the parking lot outside the castle.
He was still the rented motorcycle when he first met, driving the two of them as if they were about to fall apart, and he also ran wildly on the dirt road leading to Taal Airport.
Lin Shu, his Lin Shu, shared a bowl of instant noodles with him in the hinterland of the desert, pointed out a rainbow at the foot of a snow-capped mountain, and hung Japanese-style wind chimes in the apartment in Xianshui City, like an enchanted sampan, to teach him that the world is not human. Peaceful but worth it.
Jimmy waited for Lin Mu to get on the motorcycle, and stepped back half a step behind him to make way for him.Lin Shu seemed reluctant and almost turned around.
Jimmy interrupted him: "Don't look back, Lin Mu, don't look at me. Don't cry over spilled milk."
He waved his hand with the last strength: "I wish you... from now on, your ups and downs... be safe."
Three days later, Jeremy handed over a letter to Aunt Aruna. There were only two lines written on the letter:
Aruna, rock sugar and peppercorns, please.If one day it gets old and dies, and you eat it, I don't blame you.Stir-fry the mutton with more green onions to enhance the freshness.
At the end, I also drew a funny smiling face with Miyan.
Aruna leaned out from her adobe house, and the familiar sheep limped towards her from a distance, as if she was furious and wanted to knock her house down.
Then she saw the big sheep behind, slowly following a lamb.The lamb's fur is still curly, and it keeps "baaing" when it sees people, as if wondering why it came here overnight.
The big sheep ran forward in disgust, trying to get rid of the little sheep.And Xiao Yangqi chased after him relentlessly, always two or three steps behind, and didn't dare to get too close.
Aruna's daughter didn't study anymore, she lost her book and ran to the yard, hugging a lamb whose name was a Chinese spice that she didn't understand and had never tasted, she couldn't put it down.
In Vienna, the capital of Austria, the showers have just stopped.
Crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling in the Great Hall of the University of Vienna.The crystal light reflected on the crimson velvet curtains on both sides, like beautiful dew.
The guests were well dressed, men in suits and leather shoes, and women smiling sweetly, and they sat down at the round table one after another.Several official reporters chased an old man and took pictures non-stop. Every time the spotlight flickered, a lady at the same table frowned impatiently.
She was already extremely thin, wearing a three-piece light pink suit, and her hair was fixed with hairspray, creating a capable yet feminine look.She wears a big gold Rolex watch on her hand, and there are rings on each finger, and some of the diamonds inlaid with them sparkle with the spotlight, making her even more glamorous.
Not to mention that she also has a personal bodyguard, who hides straight and tall in a black suit, staring straight ahead.
"I can't believe that you rewarded yourself as the captain and bought such a watch..." The bodyguard lowered his head and whispered in the woman's ear.
The woman raised her eyebrows and smiled, and shot back: "What do you know, broken diamonds are worthless. They can't be shocked if they don't wear a good watch."
The bodyguard said helplessly again: "It's agreed, your character is a Chinese Internet celebrity who buys a ticket and sits in."
"so?"
"Can internet celebrities afford Princess Diana's watch?!"
Ji Yuanyuan let out a "hum" from her throat and stopped answering.Then she picked up a glass of champagne, took a sip, swirled it around, and took another sip.
Jimmy waited half a step behind her, handed her a napkin, collected her glass, and asked her if she wanted another drink, pretending to be considerate.
"it is good!"
Jimmy immediately lowered his voice: "Okay, we're on a mission now. Drinking messed up—"
Ji Yuanyuan watched the guests sitting diagonally opposite the round table, smiled coquettishly, and said from her lips: "You are on a mission. I am just cooperating with you reluctantly. Who made you beg me so sincerely?" , I really can't bear it..."
Back in time ten hours ago, the crew lounge at Tal Abdullah III Airport.
Ji Yuanyuan was still carrying a motorcycle helmet and ran all the way in, her hair was messed up, which was probably a rare disgrace in her life.
She pushed her hair back, put her hands on her hips, and asked Jimmy, "Chen Yan said you are leaving too? Lin Mu just flew back to Saltwater City, where are you going?"
She saw that there was an exit card in Jimmy's British passport, and she suddenly realized that something was wrong—you don't need to fill out an exit card for traveling in the three southern countries. Jimmy is going on a long trip.
Sure enough, he pretended to be casual and said: "Go to Europe."
Ji Yuanyuan's heart softened all of a sudden.
Because I saw that Jimmy's hair was messy, his nose was still bubbling, his eye sockets were red, and his hands had wounds that he had suffered for some time, solidified into a dirty piece.
In her mind, the arms dealer who had put tens of millions of lives at risk in the three southern countries disappeared, and what was left was a child who had messed up his magic tricks.
This is even worse.Her heart sank: "What are you going to do?"
"Notify the IAEA."
Ji Yuanyuan didn't know that the matter had become so serious: "The raw materials that were robbed by Rahimi can be used to make... a nuclear bomb? How much can it be made?"
Jimmy told her calmly: "There is a certain probability. We can't take any chances."
"I don't believe that a bunch of uneducated terrorists can build a nuclear bomb just by stealing a box! You think this is a movie!"
Ji Yuanyuan almost flipped the table.
Only Jimmy agreed: "It really can't. The uranium raw material is very important, but a temperature-controlled uranium reaction trigger is also needed to make bombs possible."
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned: "The trigger—"
Jimmy shrugged: "Yes, it's the thing in the bag that was snatched from you the first day you came to Taal after the earthquake."
"I... I don't know—"
"I know you don't know. You just listened to the leader and thought it was a life-saving medicine. You just need to pass it to a local contact person who saw the letter, right?"
Jimmy looked at her again: "It's not your fault. It's not a day or two since Jianxin wants to get involved in the arms market of the three southern countries. They just sell triggers and coax children. As for the uranium raw materials—" He He closed his eyes, "It's all my fault."
It was only then that Ji Yuanyuan came to her senses: "Then what will they do if they arrest you? Isn't the International Atomic Energy Organization responsible for...the military use of nuclear materials? What if they send you to a military court?"
Jimmy forced a smile: "Sister Ji, I can't control so much now. I definitely won't say it clearly, and I don't want to go to jail. But at this point—"
Ji Yuanyuan slapped the motorcycle helmet on the table: "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Fast-forward ten hours later, the main auditorium of the University of Vienna.
Finally, the old man who was being chased by the spotlight started to walk towards Ji Yuanyuan's table after exchanging greetings with the guests at several tables next door.
"What should I do? Tony, he's here! Will he reveal his secrets? What if he reveals his secrets? I won't be sent to prison!"
"Were you also so nervous when you flew solo for the first time? Whatever you did then, do now."
"No!" Ji Yuanyuan retorted tremblingly, "I've never been nervous! All subjects are full marks, and I'm number one in the solo class. I'm a young genius—"
"It'll be fine." Jimmy put a hand on her shoulder.
He found a local publicist for Ji Yuanyuan and bought the admission ticket for the reason of being an Internet celebrity. He originally arranged it in a corner position, and he couldn't compete with the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Council.
But Jimmy obtained the list of guests who were at the same table with the director-general through an informant in advance, and found that one of the women was not a local, but stayed at the InterContinental Hotel in Vienna.He got someone to spice up the room service a little bit, and the lady fell ill.
Based on Jimmy's experience in attending banquets since he was a child, no one would come to check the name of the person who was seated as soon as he entered the venue and accepted the seat.Ji Yuanyuan sneaked out of her seat under the pretext of borrowing the bathroom without anyone noticing, and sat down in a new seat in a circle.
No one will find out.
The banquet has begun.This is a welcome banquet. The International Atomic Energy Organization took the opportunity of holding an academic conference in the field of nuclear energy in neighboring Slovakia to invite well-known experts in the field.
Director General of International Atomic Energy, the man named "Christ" that Jimmy had heard from Lin Mukou, first came to the stage to make a short speech.
His polite remarks were mixed with jokes, and the guests kept laughing out of face.At this moment, a well-dressed girl interrupted his speech, stepped onto the stage from the side of the stage, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Christ resumed speaking again, with a solemn face:
"Now I want to announce a sad news to everyone. Just 2 minutes ago, we received the news that the terrorist organization "Vulture" in country Y launched an armed attack on country Z, and 30 people have been killed so far. Everyone knows , the three southern countries have always been the key areas of IAEA cooperation..."
Jimmy just felt a buzzing in his head, and then he couldn't listen to anything.
He knew that this day would come sooner or later, and there was always a battle to be fought among the three southern countries about what was fair and what was justice.
He thought he would look forward to it, and justice late was better than never.He thought that he would continue the arms business as usual, make war fortune, and make a fortune like Edison Chan.
But what he never imagined was that when this day really came, he already had something to worry about in Tal.
——Lin Mu, is he alright?
He's in Saltwater now?If yes then he will be much safer.He won't run back to Tar again, will he?
Running back to Taal...what to do?
They... are obviously not together anymore.
After the Director-General finished his speech, he announced the beginning of the banquet with a toast.He sat down, and Ji Yuanyuan greeted him as an assistant professor at Thar University as planned, and accidentally knocked off the lecture notes he had placed on the table.
Ji Yuanyuan wanted to lower her head to pick it up, and looked at her very low neckline dress with a frowning face.
Then the director-general waved at her to indicate that it was not a big deal, bent down and picked up the speech by himself, not realizing that a small business card had been stuffed in his pocket.
Jimmy gave Ji Yuanyuan a look to indicate that the task was completed. Ji Yuanyuan let out a long sigh of relief, and patted the director-general on the shoulder: "Can you pass me that bottle of wine?"
That night, when the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Organization left the banquet and walked on the cold streets of Vienna, he put his hand into the pocket of his coat, and he found that there was something extra in the pocket that was empty.
A business card, his business card.
It was the style he used three years ago, probably from a certain banquet, or an academic exchange, or it was exchanged with an important person during a foreign inspection.Waiting for idlers to get his business card.
Who entrusted him with this business card?
He turned over his old business card, and the first thing he saw was a postmark of the post office of Taal, a border city of country Z.He has already figured it out.
There are also GPS coordinates next to the postmark.When he opened the coordinates on the mobile phone map, he would find that there was a mountain at the junction of country Z and country Y.
Five years ago, the International Atomic Energy Organization found uranium raw materials there, which led to long-term sanctions against country Y.
Is this someone quietly telling him that country Y is conducting a nuclear test again?
The director-general raised his eyes and looked at the sky. Today, there are dark clouds, and he is afraid that someone will have an accident.
