Chapter 23 Identification
The general is coming.

Those who often come to Suakoko to do business know that the general's coming means that you can get out.

A group of people put on masks of pain. Although no one dared to say anything, the expressions on their faces still betrayed their feelings.

Gao Yi was in even greater pain.

The target showed up on its own initiative, but it came too early, too fast.

Gao Yi had no way of taking action. First of all, there were too many people here, including seven Chinese people. If he took action, none of them would be able to escape.

Another thing is that Gao Yi was not prepared. He did not have time to inform Luca, so even if he succeeded, he would not be able to leave Suakoko.

Lao Lin was ready to leave. He didn't show any dissatisfaction, but said helplessly, "The general is coming, so we'll leave first."

"Do not."

The extremely sturdy black man smiled and said, "Wait a moment before you go."

While they were talking, the sound of a car was heard outside.

As the roar of the engine stopped, the sound of leather boots tapping on the ground was heard. Soon, four black soldiers walked into the hotel with guns in hand.

They were also wearing camouflage uniforms, but the four soldiers who came in first were not wearing berets. They were wearing helmets and bulletproof vests.

The worst thing is that these four soldiers came in with guns in hand, and after entering the room, they directly pointed the guns at several people in the room, as if they were ready to shoot if they disagreed with anything.

Gao Yi, who suffered from psychological trauma, couldn't help feeling a little panicked. Being pointed at with a gun, he felt that he might have been exposed.

I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the other people, but found that they were not very nervous, and looked as if they were used to it. Looking more closely, I could find that the four guns were mainly aimed at two people, one was Gao Yi, and the other was Lin Xianghua.

You won’t be implicated by this idiot, right?
Gao Yi didn't have to wait long before two more people came in through the door. What surprised Gao Yi was that the two new people were one black and one white.

The black man couldn't tell what was wrong with him, but Gao Yi immediately felt that he was not a local, because the black man who came in smelled of perfume, and his demeanor, expression, and body language gave people a condescending feeling.

The white man was in his forties and there was nothing special about him, but he was holding something like a tablet in his hand.

It looks like a tablet, but it is several times thicker than a tablet.

The first black man who came pointed at Lin Xianghua, then at Gao Yi, and said, "He is new."

The white man raised the tablet and pointed it at Gao Yi.

Gao Yi didn't know what the tablet was used for, but he was instinctively a little panicked. Fortunately, he only showed confusion on the surface. As for nervousness, anyone would be nervous if faced with such a situation.

Is it facial recognition? Or something else?
The white man held the tablet in front of Gao Yi for a short while, then he put it down and just stared at the screen, while the black man also came over and whispered, "Is there?"

"No."

Is facial recognition really being performed? Gao Yi was really panicked. He was now beginning to fear that the images of him being photographed in Daqili would cost him his life.

But soon, the white man put down the tablet and said, "No problem."

The extremely sturdy black man laughed and said, "Very good, thank you."

The white man nodded and said casually, "You're welcome. Goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and the four armed infantrymen immediately put away their guns and turned around and left with the two men.

While waiting for his companions to leave, the extremely sturdy black man whistled softly, then he smiled at Gao Yi and said, "Are you a chef?"

Gao Yi was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether he should pretend that he could speak English. But it was difficult to pretend that he could speak English if he didn't, and it was even more difficult to pretend that he didn't know how to speak English.

Nodding, Gao Yi said in his already heavily accented English: "Yes, I'm a chef."

The black man smiled and extended his hand. Then Gao Yi also hurriedly extended his hand and shook hands with the black man.

"My name is Sambanda, and I'm the captain of General Horace's guard. You can call me Major."

"Hello, Mr. Major."

Gao Yi still looked nervous, but Sambanda said politely, "Welcome to Suakoko to open a restaurant. You are most welcome. Is this your signature dish?"

"Oh, no, this is just... a part. The main dish is still in the pot in the backyard."

"Can I try it?"

"Of course, of course, wait a moment."

Gao Yi hurriedly went to the backyard with a nervous look, but Sambanda was already familiar with the others. He smiled and said, "It looks good and smells good. I have to try it."

Sambanda didn't know how to use chopsticks, and he didn't take a spoon. Instead, he reached out and grabbed a piece of fried chicken from the pot. After putting it in his mouth and eating a few bites, he suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Not bad!"

Lao Lin took a spoon and said, "Please..."

Several people looked angry, but they didn't dare to show any strange expression on their faces.

At this time, Gao Yi came in with an iron pot. He placed the large iron pot on another table, took away the wet rag that was used to cushion his hands, and opened the lid of the pot. When the heat dissipated a little, he immediately said to Sambanda, "Major, please."

Sambanda looked a little surprised. He had never seen this way of eating before. He was even more curious after seeing the circle of pancakes along the edge of the pot. Sambanda was testing the food for the general, and maybe also testing for poison. He took the spoon from Lao Lin, walked to the side of the steaming iron pot, scooped out a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.

Then Sambanda was scalded.

But after Sambanda ate the chicken, he said in surprise: "Not bad, very good!"

Gao Yi was very nervous, but after hearing that it was good, he felt relieved. He then immediately asked, "Do you want to try this?"

Gao Yi scooped off a pancake with a small spatula. In fact, he had never eaten this kind of cassava pancake before, so he didn't know whether it was delicious or not. Moreover, the pancake was a little burnt because the chicken was delayed in being taken out of the pan.

Sambanda took a light bite of the pancake, then an expression of surprise appeared on his face, and then he finished the small pancake in a few bites with a look of surprise.

Gao Yi scooped the pancake off for Sambanda and handed him the pancake that he had specially added sugar to. He said in a flattering manner, "Try this."

“Very very very good!”

Sangbanda began to eat with relish, and Gao Yi served him on the side.

Sangbanda's arms were thicker than Gao Yi's legs, and his neck was as thick as his head. Such a body shape meant that he must be a big eater. In the end, he ate a whole chicken and twelve pancakes.

After eating and drinking his fill, Sambanda was satisfied. He said to Gao Yi with a serious face: "Delicious! Very delicious!"

"Thank you."

"The general will come for dinner tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, so please prepare it in advance."

"Okay, okay, my pleasure."

Sambanda stood up, burped, and said with satisfaction, "See you tomorrow."

Without saying anything else, Sambanda didn't say hello to anyone else and just staggered out of the restaurant.

Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, settled.

Gao Yi was secretly delighted, but when he looked at the bosses, he said with a puzzled look on his face: "What, what's going on?"

Lao Lin smiled helplessly and said, "That's how it is to do business here."

Gao Yi was very puzzled and asked: "Were those two people facing each other just now taking a photo?"

"No, they are from the United States, specifically to protect... the general."

Gao Yi was even more surprised and asked: "Americans?"

"Liberia was originally a country founded by black slaves sent back from the United States. Later, some local people seized power and started a civil war. The general was supported by the United States. After he lost the civil war, he led his people to occupy this place. The Americans even sent people to protect him."

Boss Wang wanted to explain it to Gao Yi, but Lao Lin said nervously, "Don't talk about it. Just know what happened."

Boss Wang didn't want to pay attention to Lao Lin because he was very angry, so he continued: "Those two people are from the CIA. This is not our guess. It was said by Sambanda just now."

The CIA was involved? But come to think of it, it makes sense. No wonder the previous assassins failed. Gray Horace is protected by experts, unlike the other warlords.

Lao Lin said with a distressed look on his face: "Stop talking, the chicken in this pot is cold."

"Fortunately, there is still chicken soup."

"Make more, make another pot! We have to eat well today, or we won't be able to eat tomorrow. When the general comes, the whole place will be blocked."

Listening to the conversation between the few people, Gao Yi asked in surprise: "We still need to blockade? Is it necessary just to have a meal?"

Lao Lin smiled bitterly and said, "This year we have only arrested two people who wanted to assassinate the general. Don't you think it's that serious? Fortunately, we are all Chinese. Chinese are safe, so they are relieved and the investigation is simple. If it were a black or white person, they would want to investigate three generations of ancestors. Let's not talk about this or that. Let's do it again!"

Gao Yi couldn't help but look at Lin Xianghua again.

Lin Xianghua arrived earlier, and he should have been checked as well, but since he is fine until now, there should be no problem.

But Gao Yi felt that the CIA had identified him, but they didn’t find out anything.

Lin Xianghua was almost like having the word "killer" written on his face, but Gao Yi felt that a killer wouldn't be so stupid, so he felt very conflicted.

Is it possible that Lin Xianghua is also a newcomer, so there is no file on him in the CIA database, so naturally nothing can be found out.

Also, Lin Xianghua also heard that the general was coming tomorrow.

If Lin Xianghua is really in the same industry, would his business be snatched away by him?

Fortunately, Gray Horace is cautious enough. As long as Gao Yi doesn't let Lin Xianghua in, Lin Xianghua will not be able to get close to Gray if he comes to eat.

The more he thought about it, the more troublesome it became, so Gao Yi simply stopped thinking about it.

Contact Luca and ask him to pick you up tomorrow.

If you have a chance tomorrow, take action. If you don’t, just leave. Because if there is no chance tomorrow, it means there will be no chance in the future.

So, let's make it quick and decisive.
