Chapter 33 Chapter 33

Helicopters fly from the new city to the old city.

Jimmy sat in the co-pilot's seat of the helicopter, watching Jeremy drive the plane absent-mindedly, looking like he had something to say.In the backseat, Alex chewed gum, clutched his neck and complained that Jimmy was a sadist.

"You have a good idea." Jimmy snorted, then turned to Jeremy: "What's wrong? Tell me something."

Jeremy wasn't getting any younger.His hair was nearly gray, and he had a double chin. When he smiled, he looked like a simple and honest grandfather, and he was no longer the fierce and sharp special soldier back then.

Edison Chan did save his life a few times when he was young.But no matter how he calculates, he has paid off all these years.It's time for him to retire too.

Jimmy thought, how many children does he have?Where are you now?Have grandchildren?Will retirement be obsessed with gardening or beekeeping?

Jeremy curled his lips uncomfortably, before finally saying, "Your mother told you to go back to London as soon as possible. She said this time it came out—"

"Speaker." Jimmy stared at him and shook his head, "You haven't changed at all, teller. When I pass the driver's license test, I'll fire you immediately and let you return home. Understand? Chinese , Sue, Lao, Huan, Xiang. Don’t stare at me, it’s useless to stare at me.”

He said something with a playful smile, so that he would not panic before landing.He can't be at a loss, he can't be too childish like he was when he saw Edison Chan lying in the plane, dead or alive.

He had to be sane, focused, and well-versed—the woods were waiting for him.

Century Bazaar, the joint headquarters of the hostage rescue operation of the military and police of country K.

A tall, thin, middle-aged policeman analyzed the current situation in a small but clear voice: "Terrorists have taken fifteen hostages, and according to the current information, they are all hidden in the ice storage under the roof of the fish market. The ice storage is completely It is sealed and has no cameras. The circuit of the refrigeration equipment is complicated, and there is a backup generator, so the possibility that the terrorists can still communicate with their accomplices outside cannot be ruled out."

"Intercept the call." Jimmy ordered Jeremy at the same time.

"We have five... fifteen assault teams waiting to be dispatched. But the biggest challenge we face at present is that the terrain in the fish market is unknown. If we enter rashly, we may endanger the lives of the hostages if we don't move fast enough."

Jimmy nodded: "We invested in the Century Bazaar project, and now I'm looking for someone to provide the design drawings for the construction and decoration of the year. It will take a few minutes, wait a minute."

In fact, Chen's Capital not only invested in Century Bazaar, but also invested in the Police Department of Saltwater City.Chen's regional office is renting the five-story private residence of the chief of the police department. He also privately promised that after the hostage rescue operation is successful, he will give the police officers generous cash rewards in US dollars.

After a while, the head of the regional office of Chen's Capital arrived, and immediately reported a bad news: They did invest in Century Bazaar back then, but Saltwater City backtracked and unilaterally introduced new capital after the investment was finalized. , diluting their equity.This angered Edison Chan, so that he did not continue to devote energy to the Century Bazaar project.

And the capital introduced after that is Jianxin.

"Damn it." Jimmy cursed in a low voice, gestured to Jeremy with his eyes, and immediately dialed an overseas call: "Hello, Mr. Wen, I'm Jimmy, long time no see."

The person who answered the phone was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Which Jimmy?"

Not President Wen. Jimmy's first reaction was to throw the phone against the wall, but he couldn't do it—the young man who can receive the call from President Wen without hesitation must be President Wen and Xing Wen.

Jimmy thought, he was only 23 years old when he took over Chen's capital, and Wen and Xing are now in their thirties, and they are still a rich second generation with no brains. Idle around.

Now I have to ask for such a person.

Originally, in the business field, Jimmy is no longer surprised by the fact that people talk about people and talk about people.But he just wasn't polite to Wen and Xing.

"President Xiao Wen, I'm Jimmy Chan, the chairman of Chen's Capital. We invested in Century Bazaar together back then, and now I have something urgent to ask you—"

"Jimmy, ask me to go with you. Let's? Are you talking about the joint investment of your father and Jianxin? Of course, what can I do for you, tell me."

Wen and Xing wanted to give him a blow, but Jimmy endured it.

Lin Shu is still alive and dead in the freezer in the fish market. The "Vulture" terrorist organization, like other terrorist organizations, uses threats and intimidation. What if it is sure that Lin Mu is a foreigner and hurts him to put pressure on the international community?

Is the forest okay?

Does he have water to drink?Is he getting enough to eat?

Jimmy has never had direct contact with Lin Mu since his personal freedom was restricted by Interpol.When Jeremy sent the news that Lin Mu was forcibly conscripted by Rahimi to Saltwater City, Jimmy was not so worried.As long as Lin Mu's identity as a pilot is still useful to them, they won't hurt him.

But now the Saltwater City military has foiled the bombing plot of the "Vulture" organization and trapped them in the ice bank.

The terrorists are desperate, will they harm the trees?

"Jimmy," Wen Yuxing pretended to be polite, "we keep all the blueprints here, but calling them is not as easy as you think, you need to follow the procedure—"

Jimmy just said: "Xiao Boss Wen, I know you can't make up your mind. Boss Wen is currently in Libya for inspection, and he won't be able to contact you for a while, right? How about this, I really have an urgent need here, and you can give me the blueprint within 10 minutes I sent it over, your good business in Thar, you continue to do it slowly, God knows, you know and I know."

Wen and Xing were playing around in Thar, using the staff members to make deals, such as asking Ji Yuanyuan to hand him the reaction trigger.Wen Ruxi didn't know any of this.

Of course, Wen Ruxi also tried to meddle in the arms markets of the three southern countries in his early years, which was a big piece of fat.

But the waters of arms are too deep, involving geopolitics, the Anglo-American alliance, behind the bankers are not only the governments of various countries, but also Wall Street financial giants who manipulate the world's oil prices and stock prices-it is not Wen Ruxi who can get involved.

After suffering a few dumb losses, he was able to keep Jianxin's Southern Three Kingdoms branch, and since then he has established a rule: Jianxin draws a clear line from the arms business.

But Wen Yuxing is an idiot rich second generation.He also wanted to make a career for Wen Ruxi to let him succeed him, so he chose Tal's arms as the entry point, which was really a bad idea.

Jimmy used the satellite signal to connect to the computer, and within 5 minutes, he received the architectural and decoration drawings of the Century Bazaar, including the pits in the toilets.

He printed out two copies and gave one to Jeremy and the other to the Saltwater police.

Wen and Xing were probably unwilling or afraid, so they chased after another call. Jimmy didn't answer and tossed the phone aside.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the surprise rescue operation started on time.

Jeremy commanded the security company's mercenary death squad to first use the gun to attract part of Rahimi's firepower from the window, then directly blow up the non-load-bearing wall of the ice storage, and broke into the door wearing a night vision mask in the gun.

Saltwater City military special forces took charge of the break and successfully rescued [-] hostages.Among them, several older ones had a dehydration reaction, and the others were all safe and sound after a preliminary examination by the on-site doctor.

"Lin..." Jimmy grabbed Alex's pink gemstone dagger and rushed out of the command room, ignoring the shouts behind him and rushing all the way to the temporary position next to the ice storage.

There had just been an explosion here, and the smoke and dust filled his eyes, and he wasn't wearing a mask or mask.But he is confident that he can find his captain and his trees at a glance...

"forest?"

Jimmy knelt on the ground, frozen.He saw the faces of the surviving hostages one by one, men, women, old and young, a total of fifteen hostages, and now only fourteen were counted in front of him... There were no trees.

"Don't go to the rooftop, stop the pursuit, I repeat, stop the pursuit! The terrorists have air support! They have all moved to the rooftop to escape. We killed two, and there are three left, but—"

Jimmy heard the rare anxious voice of the middle-aged policeman in the headset.

His eyes were bloodshot, he pulled out his pistol, loaded it, and ran to the rooftop.

Then he heard the policeman finish his sentence: "—It seems...some of the hostages have defected."

Jimmy kicked open the unlocked iron door of the rooftop.

Immediately, the piercing roar of the helicopter wings came to my ears.His coat was lifted by the wind, revealing a blue sweater underneath.Faint color, like today's sky.

Lin Mu half-knelt on the edge of the roof, his impeccable figure wrapped under the uniform of the "Vulture" organization that had just put on his upper body, and he aimed his gun in a standard manner, ready to hit the next policeman who ran up to the roof at any time.

Then he saw the blue sweater in the sights.He remembered touching the lines on the sweater and saying that he really felt like a lamb, and the man also joked, saying how many lambs at their best age lost all their hair in order to knit you a blanket.

He also said...

—— "If it were me, I would too."

Lin Mu's hand holding the gun didn't tremble, he didn't unload the bullet, and he didn't put down the gun.He couldn't have Jimmy over here, and he couldn't be caught by the cops down there for an attempted terrorist attack.

He still has work to do.

But... How long has it been since he saw him...

Lin Shu looked greedily at Jimmy's face through the scope.The young man with stars in his eyes had lost weight and his beard had grown. His face, which had been imprisoned in the room for a long time, looked a little pale, but his figure still looked straight and strong.

The helicopter is getting closer and closer, and has entered the landing distance.Lin Mu knew that as long as he boarded the helicopter, it would not be up to him whether they could see each other again from now on.

——Fate is dictatorial, without justice, without mercy, and without justice.

So he wants to uphold justice for fate.

Lin Mu sniffed several flavors floating in the air of Century Bazaar: Sichuan pepper symbolizes love, star anise is the happiness of roasting meat, brown sugar is put in milk tea, every bite is very sweet.But after all, they couldn't taste the [-] flavors of life together.

Jimmy approached firmly step by step.

Lin Mu had no choice but to warn him: "Don't come over."

He put an empty gun on the ground: "Don't come closer."

Jimmy looked at him in disbelief, surprise, puzzlement, anger and sadness flashed across his eyes, and finally fell on his lips with a soft smile.

I have long been used to seeing life and death, so what's so great about betrayal.

Jimmy asked softly, "Will I see you again?"

Behind the sunglasses, Lin Mu couldn't see his expression clearly.He was probably also suddenly confused, wondering why he was here, and how they met each other step by step.

Lin Mu turned his head and looked at the crossroads, where the lamp god stood, overlooking all living beings.In many peaceful and prosperous times in this world, no one knows that a bomb failed to explode as scheduled, and a small desert city fell apart overnight.

Lin Mu shook his head.

The helicopter that responded to the "Vulture" organization arrived, and a skilled female pilot boldly hovered the helicopter over the roof with precision and lowered a ladder.

On the helicopter, she still had the strength to point a gun at the head of the hijacked hostage.

The hostage was in his early thirties, with the appearance of a Thar, and kept crying, "Help! Help me! She's going to kill me!"

Rahimi ran quickly to the ladder and boarded the helicopter.Immediately afterwards, Jimmy watched Lin Shu walk towards the ladder.

"forest……"

"Don't go..."

"Why are you leaving..."

"Don't leave me..."

For the first time in his life he begged someone else.

Lin Mu grabbed the ladder with his hand, but he couldn't bear it after all. He turned his head and explained to him firmly: "The evidence of Wen and Xing can't be left in Tal, and the letter can't be collapsed."

Jimmy froze.

It turned out to be for...

Then he saw Lin Mu take out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and throw it over.

The mint green cigarette case looks pretty against the faint sunshine.

"The last one... is left to you."

The helicopter pulled up on the spot, Lin Shu crawled back into the cabin, and heard Ajit still screaming with all his might.Then I saw Jimmy throwing up something with all his strength - a dagger with a scabbard inlaid with pink gems.

At last he heard his shout die in the air: "Captain..."
