Chapter 233 1 Gone in the blink of an eye
Chapter 233 Gone in the Blink of an Eye
The plane flew through the clouds.
Jiang Ning was flipping through a foreign newspaper that contained an analysis and commentary on the Great Polar Bear War. After two years of fighting, the war had evolved from a blitzkrieg to a war of attrition. People were suddenly discovering that polar bears were not as strong as the legend had said.
I still remember that I made a bet with my two cousins at that time.
I gambled a box of Chinese wine.
As a result, the two guys have not fulfilled their bet yet.
Things in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are a bit strange.
There was no warning, it just came.
He had warned before, but apparently his deterrent effect was not enough.
Winder believes that someone is behind this, most likely the mining giants.
Jiang Ning felt the same way, otherwise there was no other answer.
The world is just a makeshift team. When I was in school, the textbooks said that the characteristics of capitalism are big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. In fact, the underlying logic of this world has not changed. Someone needs to pay for the high welfare in Europe and the United States.
A stable, united and cohesive Africa is not in the interests of the great powers.
Only a backward, divided and conflict-ridden Africa is in the interests of the great powers.
Of course, it is also in Jiang Ning's interest.
Otherwise why would he go to Africa!
Time is too tight and taking a commercial airliner will waste time.
Jiang Ning chartered a business jet and flew directly to Kinshasa.
The incident happened suddenly, and Feng Yu and Feng Xue also took their daughter home.
After flying to Kinshasa, Jiang Ning did not stop.
Then flew to Goma.
It was already early morning when we arrived in Goma, and there was no one to greet us when we got off the plane.
The mining area was still surrounded by government forces, but fortunately the mercenaries were not bad in combat effectiveness, and the equipment he provided them with was not bad either. They had sufficient weapons and ammunition, as well as heavy firepower, and were able to withstand the government forces that were ten times their size, so there was no problem for the time being.
The Goma office has lost contact and we don’t know if the person is still alive.
After Jiang Ning got off the plane, he escaped underground under the cover of darkness.
There is a villa area on the shore of Lake Kivu, which is built very luxuriously.
The difference between here and the slums is probably the difference between heaven and hell.
All the residents here are local dignitaries, warlords, congressmen and so on.
Jiang Ning had visited once, and this was the second time.
The villa area is quiet and peaceful at night.
There were sentry posts everywhere, and next to it was a military camp where an armed force was stationed.
It is obvious that those powerful people are afraid of death.
Jiang Ning walked in quietly as if he was in an empty place.
Kakul is the second-in-command of North Kivu province and controls an army.
I went to bed a little late today, mainly because the two new wives were too charming and had many tricks. I played with them a little late and fell asleep almost at dawn. I was sleeping soundly when I suddenly heard some unusual noises.
I woke up from my sleep and could hardly open my eyes.
After a while, my eyes adjusted to the bright light.
Only then did I realize that the lights in the room had been turned on.
The two women seemed to be knocked unconscious.
There was a person standing in front of the bed.
"Fuck!"
Kakul was almost scared to death and cursed subconsciously.
Just reach under the pillow.
Jiang Ning stood in front of the bed and watched, not trying to stop it at all.
Kakule took out a pistol and pointed it at Jiang Ning immediately.
I felt a little more secure.
But when I saw the person standing beside the bed, the sense of security I had just felt disappeared.
This Chinese man left a deep impression on him.
One night last year, this guy sneaked in like a ghost.
All the soldiers on duty were knocked unconscious.
After threatening me, he disappeared like a ghost.
Now again.
"Fuck!"
Kakule was very nervous, and his hand holding the gun was shaking a little: "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Ning waved his hand, and the gun in Kakul's hand fell into his hand.
Kaleku was so scared that he almost pissed himself: "Let's talk it over nicely."
There was a sound of someone coming up the stairs outside.
Then there was a knock on the door: "General, what happened?"
Jiang Ning turned the gun and threw it on the bed: "Go, send the people outside away. I don't want to kill anyone."
Kakule had no intention of resisting.
Even if I had a gun in my hand, I wouldn't feel safe at all facing this Chinese man.
The move just now had made him lose all thoughts.
"Nothing, don't come up."
Kakule shouted towards the door.
The soldiers outside went downstairs.
Jiang Ning looked around, then pulled up a chair and sat down.
Kakule pulled the quilt over himself and asked nervously, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Ning said calmly: "The government army is besieging my gold mine, you should know, right?"
Kakule immediately said: "It has nothing to do with me?"
Jiang Ning asked: "Who is it related to?"
Kakule betrayed his colleague without hesitation: "It was Sivami's order."
Jiang Ning asked: "Why?"
Kakule is a bachelor: "Before, people from the mining company came to me and asked me to expel your people. I refused, so they came to Sivami. It was Sivami who asked his people to go to the mine to expel the people. It had nothing to do with me."
Jiang Ning gave him a thumbs up: "Dude, you're a smart guy."
Kakule wanted to laugh but couldn't. Finally, he forced an ugly smile: "So don't bother me, and I won't bother you. You should leave quickly!"
Jiang Ning nodded and asked, "Do you want to be a high-ranking official?"
Kakule pretended to be confused: "I don't quite understand what you are talking about?"
"Where is Xi Xinmi hiding?"
"In the barracks."
Jiang Ning then asked which mining companies were looking for him.
Kakul is very honest and answers every question.
Jiang Ning stood up and said, "If you want to be a high-ranking official, you should prepare early."
Kakul hesitated to speak.
Jiang Ning didn't give him a chance to hesitate, he got up and went to turn off the light.
The room fell into darkness.
Kakul was a little panicked, but did not dare to act rashly.
Wait until your eyes adjust to the darkness.
There was no trace of Jiang Ning in the room.
Kakul was worried, so he went out of bed barefoot to search.
After making sure that there was no one there, he went over and turned on the light.
There was indeed no one there, they had already left.
But I don’t know how I got there, and I didn’t hear the door open.
I didn't hear the window opening either.
Just like a ghost, he left silently.
"Fuck!"
Kakul cursed "mother", he was really shocked and angry.
Feeling like going crazy.
No one would be able to remain calm if they encountered such a thing.
How can people be happy without a sense of security?
but……
What did that Chinese guy just say?
Kakul's face looked gloomy and uncertain, and it felt like something was going to happen.
And it’s a big deal.
After thinking for a while, I made a phone call.
Let people keep an eye on Sivami’s movements.
Sivami has been feeling uneasy lately. Ever since he sent troops to surround the Kasoto mining area, he has been feeling uneasy. He always feels that the ghost-like Chinese will sneak in in the middle of the night, and he dares not live at home.
Just live directly in the military camp.
Even so, I still have nightmares at night.
The higher the position and the more powerful one is, the more he values his life.
I always feel that the military camp is not safe.
But I slept well tonight and didn't have any nightmares.
I felt something was wrong in my sleep.
I was suddenly surprised to find that the lights in the room were on.
The ghost-like Chinese man was standing in front of the bed.
I just wanted to curse.
The black muzzle of a gun was pressed against his head.
Sivami swallowed and swallowed the fuck that was about to reach his mouth.
"Don't mess around!"
Sivami didn't dare to move, he could only roll his eyes and said, "Let's talk it over nicely."
Jiang Ning asked: "Do you know why I came to you?"
Sivami wanted to say he didn’t know, but when the words came to his lips, they changed to: “I know.”
Jiang Ning asked: "Tell me, which mining companies have approached you?"
Sivami was very honest and confessed everything.
Jiang Ning asked again: "What benefits did those mining companies give you?"
Sivami said with a stiff upper lip: "They promised to provide me with a batch of weapons and equipment."
“That makes sense.”
Jiang Ning nodded and continued to ask: "What else do you know? Tell me about it."
Sivami didn't dare to move, and said with his hands spread out: "The Ministry of Mines has sold the Kasoto gold mine to them. I saw their procedures and documents, and Felix also called me. Otherwise, I would not be your opponent. He forced me to do it."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"
"Of course!"
Sivami tried his best to divert the conflict: "I don't want to go against you, they forced me to do it."
At this time, the soldiers outside seemed to hear the noise.
He came over and knocked on the door: "General, what happened?"
Jiang Ning winked.
Sivami struggled in his heart, but still didn't dare to let the soldiers rush in, so he could only say, "It's okay, just go away."
The soldier agreed and walked away.
“Where are my people in Goma?”
"Put me in a dark cell."
Jiang Ning asked again and pulled the trigger decisively.
"boom!"
A gunshot shattered the night sky.
It also broke the tranquility of the empty camp.
The military camp suddenly became noisy.
Several soldiers rushed in first.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta..."
Jiang Ning had already changed to a shotgun and rushed out with it.
Wherever he passed, people and horses fell to the ground and screams were heard.
The Great Disappearance Technique cannot be used indiscriminately, and no one can be allowed to contact him.
The key is that it is not enough to deter those with ulterior motives.
We can only change the way and make some people remember it longer.
After killing more than a dozen people.
The soldiers finally stabilized their position and formed firepower.
Push him into a corner.
The bullet was too fast and even the Metal Control Technique couldn't catch it.
He did not get entangled with these soldiers and fled decisively.
The soldiers gathered around, but found that the man was gone.
I was suddenly at a loss.
Kakul didn't sleep anymore. How could he sleep after encountering such a thing?
When the two women woke up, they were kicked out.
Lao Hei was secretly looking forward to it. The elusive Chinese man seemed to be looking for trouble with Sivami. This was a good thing. He just didn't know whether the Chinese man would kill Sivami. It would be great if he could.
I'm worried about gains and losses!
Suddenly, gunshots were heard from the northwest.
Kakul was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran out of the bedroom to the living room and opened the window.
But it was dark in the middle of the night and I couldn’t see anything.
That's the direction of the military camp, not far away.
The straight-line distance is about 500 meters.
Kakule was a little excited. How could there be gunshots in the military camp in the middle of the night? What did this mean?
That Chinese guy really took action.
I just don’t know what the outcome will be.
I hope that the Chinese man will die, so that he won't sneak into my house in the middle of the night and make me nervous. I can't sleep well in the future for fear of being killed. I also hope that the Chinese man will kill Sivami.
Worrying about gains and losses for a while.
I couldn't help but fantasize that it would be perfect if both halves were injured and died.
Lao Hei thought about it and called the leader of the soldiers, asking him to arrange someone to go to the military camp to inquire about the situation.
The gunshot was brief and soon disappeared.
Kakul stood by the window and looked out for a long time, thinking secretly.
The gunfire was so brief, indicating that the exchange of fire was not intense.
Someone must have died, who could it be?
Most likely, the Chinese man was discovered by the soldiers when he sneaked in.
After all, it's a military camp.
Although that Chinese man was elusive, he was only one person.
Maybe he was shot to death by the soldiers?
It's a bit of a pity though.
But it’s better to die, then I can sleep peacefully from now on.
Lao Hei stood by the window and thought about it for a while.
Just when I was wondering when the people I sent out would come back, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
I turned around suddenly and saw that ghost-like Chinese man standing behind me.
"f..."
Lao Hei was so scared that he almost shit himself and the word "fuck" almost came out of his mouth.
This is so scary.
Subconsciously, he took three steps back: "What are you going to do?"
Jiang Ning stared at Lao Hei: "Do you think I was killed by Sivami?"
Lao Hei subconsciously wanted to nod, but then he realized what was happening and quickly shook his head: "Of course not."
Jiang Ning had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes were like looking at a dead person. Kakule's heart beat faster and faster. Until Lao Hei couldn't stand the silent pressure anymore and couldn't help but want to shake people, he said: "Sivami is dead. If you want to be a high-ranking official, then act quickly. I'll sleep at your place. Remember not to let anyone disturb you. Also, go to the black jail and release my people."
After saying that, he actually found an empty room and went in to sleep.
Lao Hei was so frustrated, and this Te Miao guy was too arrogant.
This is simply unreasonable.
but……
Was Sivami really killed?
Lao Hei was a little bit unbelieving, but couldn't help but look forward to it.
What if it's true?
Then wouldn't I have a chance...
The more Lao Hei thought about it, the more excited he became and he could no longer remain calm.
He quickly went back to the house, put on his clothes, and prepared to go downstairs to arrange and investigate.
Unexpectedly, just as I went downstairs, the person who was sent to investigate came back.
"General, Sivami was killed."
The soldiers who went to investigate reported good news.
Lao Hei was overjoyed, but a little bit unbelieving: "Is it true?"
The soldiers nodded repeatedly: "It's true, the barracks are in chaos. I asked my acquaintances and they said someone sneaked into the barracks and killed Sivami, and also killed more than a dozen people from the guard company."
Lao Hei asked: "Who did it? Did you see it?"
The soldier shook his head: "No, I didn't see it. It is said that everyone who saw it was beaten to death."
Lao Hei no longer had any doubts and immediately called his subordinates.
Summon troops to quell the rebellion.
Then he remembered something and said, "There is a guest of mine living upstairs. Don't let anyone go up to disturb him."
The subordinate agreed, but was still puzzled.
Apart from those two women, where else were the guests upstairs?
I want to ask but I don’t dare to.
Lao Hei dressed neatly, called the guards and left in a hurry.
Jiang Ning couldn't sleep well either, as gunshots were heard in Goma city in the middle of the night.
The sound continued until dawn, then it subsided slightly.
I don’t know how many people were awakened from their dreams.
I couldn't sleep because of the sound of gunfire in the distance.
When the sun is about to come out.
Jiang Ning woke up and took a walk outside.
No one.
The house is quite big and luxuriously decorated.
It’s no worse than the villa in my hometown.
I walked around the rooms but didn't see the two black girls.
Don't know where he went.
When I got downstairs, I saw a few black people.
Several black men looked at him in surprise, but no one pointed their guns at him.
Instead, he looked confused and puzzled.
Jiang Ning asked like the owner of the house, "Where is Kakule?"
Several black men looked at each other, unsure of his identity, and did not dare to act rashly.
An old black man answered, "The general went to the military camp to quell the rebellion."
Jiang Ning hummed: "Bring me something to eat."
A few old blacks looked again and one ran to the kitchen.
Jiang Ning looked around and finally sat in the restaurant waiting.
It seemed like one of the black guys went out to make a phone call, and then all the black guys disappeared.
Never hang around him again.
After waiting for a while, the cook brought him breakfast.
The refugees here are all starving to death, but the powerful people live a very comfortable life. Their breakfast includes bread, milk tea, coffee, and bacon salad, and it is French style. It seems that the chef must have learned it specially.
There was also a jar of toothpicks on the dining table.
Jiang Ning was quite curious, does Lao Hei still need to pick his teeth when eating?
Why are you pretending to be a gentleman...
The cook brought him breakfast and then left, never to be seen again.
Jiang Ning ate and drank his fill before going out to look for someone.
A few black men were in the yard and didn't greet him when they saw him come out.
Just look at him.
Jiang Ning ordered: "Call Kakule and ask him to come see me."
After giving the instructions, he went back to the house and sat in the living room on the first floor waiting.
The black guys looked at each other, all feeling a little unhappy.
An old black man lowered his voice and said, "This bastard is too arrogant."
Another said, "He is the general's guest."
"Cough cough!"
The old black man immediately said, "That guy wants to see the general, what should we do?"
The third black man said, "Call the general and ask him."
While a few old blacks were making phone calls, Jiang Ning was also on the phone.
I called my wife and found out Feng Yu had also arrived back home.
We arrived last night and chartered a business jet directly to the provincial capital.
After getting off the plane in the provincial capital, I stayed near the airport for one night.
I just got up and was about to have breakfast and take the farm bread home.
Feng Yu yawned and said, "It's so cumbersome to travel with a child. You're not here, and there's a lot of luggage. I have to carry the child and the suitcases. My sister and I are almost exhausted."
Jiang Ning said: "This is not an emergency, otherwise I would definitely go back with you."
Feng Yu asked: "When will you come back?"
Jiang Ning said: "I don't know, it depends on the situation. Is Tiantian asleep?"
"Didn't sleep."
Feng Yu said: "He's drinking from the bottle!"
Jiang Ning didn't say much and hung up after chatting for a few sentences.
I called Sea Snake and asked about the situation.
The sea snake was full of confidence: "Those bastards came to fight again yesterday, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses and running away. I had people hiding in the woods next to the bridge five kilometers away and transported three mortars over. Today I'm going to give those bastards a good beating."
Jiang Ning asked: "Are there any casualties among our people?"
The sea snake said, "Only one person was shot, and there were no other casualties."
"That's good."
Jiang Ning was somewhat relieved that no one died.
American lives are too expensive, one death costs hundreds of thousands.
The sea snake asked, "Has the boss arrived?"
Jiang Ning hummed: "I'm in Goma."
The sea snake said, "Victor and the others were released yesterday. Didn't the boss see it?"
Jiang Ning said: "I haven't been to the office yet. I'll go check it out later."
Sea Snake was very puzzled: "Victor called me at midnight last night and said that they were released, and that the government forces seemed to have civil strife and were attacking each other. Does the boss know what happened?"
Jiang Ning said: "We'll talk about this later."
After that, he hung up the phone.
Waited for about half an hour.
Several cars drove in and parked in the yard.
A group of fully armed soldiers came down.
Kakule, the big black man, was also fully armed. He got out of a car. He didn't look like he was going to the battlefield himself. Instead, it seemed that he was afraid of being shot from behind, so he was fully armed. He didn't go into the house after getting out of the car.
Instead, he hid behind the car as soon as possible.
He peeked upstairs curiously.
Looking at the other soldiers, they dispersed immediately after getting off the car.
He trotted around from both sides.
Jiang Ning was stunned. What was this for?
Then he reacted.
This is to close the door...
bah bah.
This old black guy is quite brave and smart.
Jiang Ning sneered. I didn’t expect that!
I really underestimated these black people.
I heard heavy footsteps reaching the door.
He immediately hid underground and left.
The soldiers rushed into the villa and searched carefully.
At the same time, soldiers rushed in from the back door.
They searched from the front and back, not only where people were hiding, but even where rats were hiding. They searched inch by inch, and after searching the first floor they went up to the second floor. At the same time, soldiers outside had set up a circle and were ready for battle.
Kakule hid behind the car, feeling secretly angry.
Damn Chinese guy, let’s see where you can run this time.
If you can't catch it in the middle of the night, it can't escape in broad daylight, right?
Unless you really become a ghost.
result……
After waiting for a long time, the soldier who entered the house ran out, looking confused: "General, we didn't find anyone."
"what?"
Kakule was stunned for a moment, then almost jumped up in anger: "Fuck, are you stupid? The person is in the villa, Madier has confirmed it, and you can't find him. Can you be more stupid?"
The soldier looked aggrieved: "General, there really is no one here. If you don't believe me, ask Madir."
Kakule looked at a soldier who stayed behind.
The remaining soldier also looked puzzled: "General, there is no one in the villa."
"Merde!"
Kakule could no longer bear it, uttered a curse word, and flew into a rage, "You damn idiots, the man is clearly in the villa, how could there be no one there? Could he really be a ghost, and could he disappear in broad daylight?"
The soldier was sweating profusely: "General, I really can't find it!"
Kakule was so angry that he kicked the morale and led the team in to look for it himself.
To avoid being ambushed, let the soldiers lead the way.
Even if they wanted to open the cabinet, they would stand far away and let the soldiers come forward.
Just like that, I searched from the first floor to the second floor.
He searched from the second floor to the first floor, leaving no corner unsearched, including in the cabinets and under the tables.
Even the rooftop was not spared.
I couldn't find anyone.
Kakula was also confused. Where did the person go?
Call the people who stayed behind to ask again.
The people who stayed behind all said the same thing and swore to heaven that no one had left.
But why did the person disappear? He was speechless and couldn't answer.
Kakule was so angry that he kicked several times, and the soldiers who stayed behind also felt aggrieved.
He clearly said he was a guest, but now it seems that he is not.
This beating was really unfair.
So where did that Chinese person escape from?
There are people at the front and back doors, it’s impossible not to see them!
And the guy was clearly standing in front of the window when the general came in.
How come it disappeared in the blink of an eye?
