Minister Hazak saw that Jiang Cheng was not happy, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, how can I not believe you? Everything you said is reasonable, and we have to believe you. However, Mr. Jiang, I have something to discuss with you."
Jiang Cheng asked, "What is it?"
Minister Hazak looked at the large group of senior government officials behind him, waved his hand at them, and said, "All of you, leave first. I have something important to discuss with Mr. Jiang."
The other officials did not dare to disobey. They hurriedly filed out of the door of the intensive care unit. The minister's secretary was the last to leave. He quietly closed the door and then stood guard at the door of the ward alone to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
Seeing that everyone had left, Hazak said to Jiang Cheng, "Mr. Jiang, can I ask you not to tell anyone about the hijacking by the terrorists?"
Jiang Cheng frowned. Just as he was about to ask why, he quickly understood the reason. He smiled and said, "Yes, but Mr. Minister, I also want to ask you for a favor!"
When Hazak heard that Jiang Cheng was willing to cooperate with him not to tell anyone about the hijacking, he was overjoyed. He quickly asked, "What is it? As long as we can do it, we will do it for you. Whether it's money or anything else, we can discuss it!"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't want anything. I just want you to help me find my comrades and my wife!"
.....
In the middle of the Indian Ocean, there was a small island with a radius of less than a hundred miles. The island's terrain was complex, the forest was dense, and the island was full of poisonous snakes and beasts. In the depths of the dense forest in the center of the island, there was a natural cave. In the cave, Li Shiya, Du Yuan, and 53 other hostages of men, women, and children were all imprisoned by pirates.
Because this small island was located in the middle of the Indian and African continents, it was an important freshwater supply point in the ancient times. With the increasing innovation of science and technology, it was completely possible to prepare enough fresh water and food for sailing. Now that technology was advanced, whether it was a merchant ship or a cargo ship, when going out to sea, it could know in advance the distance and time they needed to sail. It was completely possible to prepare all kinds of needed items in advance. It was not like the age of great navigation, where they knew nothing about the sea and land they had never been to, and they did not know when they could see land.
Once the freshwater and food reserves ran out, it would be terrible. Therefore, the geographical location of this small island was extremely important hundreds of years ago, but now it was different. For hundreds of years, the island had been uninhabited for a long time, and some of the wooden buildings that had been built had long been eroded by the rain and turned into ashes. But since the rise of the Somali pirates in the last century, this island had a second spring.
A small pirate group in Somalia discovered and occupied the island. The owner of the island was the leader of the pirate group, Hassan. He had more than a hundred soldiers and hundreds of light and heavy weapons. He was a big force in the Somali pirate group. After Hassan discovered the island, he used it as a secret stronghold to hold prisoners and hostages. Every time he robbed a large merchant ship or cargo ship on the Indian Ocean route, Hassan would sail the ship to another place, and then take the crew here. He would record some of the crew's videos and send them to the owner of the cargo ship, asking them to pay a high ransom. Hassan was very principled. He only charged a ransom of one million US dollars for each hostage. No more, no less. If the ransom did not arrive within three days after the announcement, he would kill the hostages.
Since the end of the last century, it has only taken Hassan ten years to go from a small leader to the current leader. During this period, he has robbed hundreds of cargo ships. Every time he does business, he can get tens of thousands of dollars. After so many years, Hassan has also lived a rich life. He has three villas in his hometown, bought a mansion and sports car in Dubai, and has a deposit of more than a million dollars in a Swiss bank. In addition, he has a beautiful wife and concubine at home. Hassan feels that it was a wise decision to go to sea to be a pirate. Every day is too good!
After making so much money, it was time to stop. But Hassan felt that no business was better than being a pirate. A broken ship with dozens of people and dozens of guns could rob a freighter worth hundreds of millions. Capturing a crew member could earn a million US dollars ransom. Such a good business without capital, what kind of business in the world could compete with it? So in Somalia, Africa, the people there are proud of being pirates. Those westerners in suits with cigars in their mouths, it is estimated that the money they earn in a year is not as much as they earn in a day. So in general, in Somalia, being a pirate is a very promising career.
This time, Hassan took his men to look for prey as usual. He did not expect to encounter a passenger plane crashing into the sea and capture dozens of survivors. These are all money. When he thought of this, Hassan could not help but laugh.
Hassan was different from the other pirates. He would not go to the Gulf of Aden with the other pirates. There were often warships of the five permanent members of the Security Council docked there. If he robbed merchant ships there, he might be killed by them with a single shot.
Especially the China fleet with the red flag. Don't look at them talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long. If anyone dares to rob a merchant ship with the China flag and is caught by them, they will definitely beat you until you cry for your parents. Hassan once suffered a big loss on a China frigate. Since then, he has learned to be obedient. In the future, whenever he meets a ship with the China flag, he will make a detour. Of course, he can't touch a ship with a five-pointed star. Those Korean guys don't follow the rules at all. All the sailors on the cargo ship have guns, and their marksmanship is very good. Whoever dares to rob their freighter is definitely tired of living.
In the sea more than 500 nautical miles west of Malaysia, Hassan waited here for almost a day and did not see a merchant ship from Singapore. He could not help but feel a little annoyed and wanted to go back. But he did not expect that just as they were about to withdraw, a plane suddenly fell from the sky. This time, the black uncles were stunned and asked Hassan whether he should go and rescue them or not.
Hassan is worthy of being a pirate. He ordered, "Rescue, why not? Bring all those people back to the island. I want to use them as hostages and ask for ransom from the international navy!"
The pirates couldn't help but praise him. Boss is smart. Saving people can earn ransom. So they all went out and rescued the survivors who fell into the water. They brought them back to the island and locked them in this cave.
In the cave, Li Shiya trembled with her arms crossed and asked Du Yuan, "Brother Du, what do you think these pirates will do to us?"
Du Yuan was using a stone to grind the rope that tied his hands behind his back. He replied casually, "It's hard to say. If the international navy and the Malaysian government are not willing to pay the ransom for us, the pirates will definitely kill us. What they need is money, and we are their tools to make money! But in general, in this case, the international practice is to pay the ransom. "
Li Shiya was relieved when she heard that the ransom would be paid. But when she thought of Jiang Cheng, she asked worriedly, "Brother Du, how is Jiang Cheng now? Could he have been saved? "
Du Yuan shook his head and thought to himself, "This silly woman. She's still in prison, yet she's still worried about a man who I don't even know is dead or alive. It seems that the power of love is really great. It can make men crazy and women stupid."
At this moment, two black pirates walked in from the outside. They were carrying AK47 assault rifles on their backs. The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked in. Because the cave was dark and there was no light, one of the pirates took out a flashlight and shone it at everyone. When the flashlight shone on Li Shiya's face, the flashlight stopped. Then, the other pirate laughed and slowly walked towards Li Shiya, the smile on his face was extremely lewd.
Du Yuan, who was squatting beside Li Shiya, immediately knew what these two black devils wanted to do. They had eaten and drunk their fill, so they wanted to commit adultery. Du Yuan couldn't help but feel angry. Li Shiya was entrusted to him by Jiang Cheng before he left. Now that he didn't have the ability to help her escape from the hands of the pirates and was caught by the pirates, he felt guilty to Jiang Cheng. He didn't expect these pirates to have crooked thoughts about Li Shiya. Du Yuan couldn't bear it anymore. He had already broken his promise to Jiang Cheng once. If he let these two black devils rape Li Shiya again, how would he have the face to see others?
He desperately used a small stone he picked up on the ground to grind the rope that tied his hands behind his back. Since entering the cave, he had been grinding it. Now it was almost finished. Seeing the black man getting closer and closer, Du Yuan's speed of grinding the rope became faster.
Five steps, four steps, three steps, two steps, one step, he was right in front of him. Just when the black man wanted to reach out and touch Li Shiya's face, Du Yuan suddenly exploded. He picked up a big stone from the ground and smashed it at the black man's head with all his strength. With just one blow, his head was smashed. The black man had died before he could react.
After taking down the first pirate, Du Yuan didn't dare to stop, because there was a pirate with a gun behind him. If he reacted and shot, then his plan wouldn't be easy to implement, because the gunshot would definitely alarm the pirates who were still outside. At that time, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to. In order to survive, he had to fight!
Du Yuan picked up the bloody stone in his hand and rushed to the pirate behind him. The pirate was holding a flashlight. Before he could react to the situation, and before he could take off the gun on his back, Du Yuan had already rushed in front of him. Du Yuan picked up the bloody stone and hit him on the head. After a few hits, Black Ghost was dead.
