The man who was shot by Jiang Cheng just now also escaped from his hands. Jiang Cheng found that the only clues left to find out the identity of the person behind the scenes were the check in his hand and the man with the red birthmark on his hand.
This check was issued by a famous Swiss bank. This bank allowed people to withdraw cash directly with checks in many parts of the world. Swiss banks were famous for protecting their customers' privacy very strictly.
It would be very difficult for Jiang Cheng to find out who the person behind the scenes was through the bank. But no matter how difficult it was, Jiang Cheng would never sit still and wait for death. He had to take the initiative. It didn't matter how the foreigners looked at him, as long as his innocence could convince the higher-ups.
Now that Balsal was dead, the Tarisu oil field had become ownerless. Whoever occupied it would own it. Although the terrorist organizations occupied the oil field, they absolutely had no way to develop it. Refining crude oil and selling it for money was not something a group of professional robbers could do.
The Germans had always been very enthusiastic about fighting terrorism, and they spared no effort in fighting it. However, as the situation developed, the Germans also liked to support these terrorist organizations. After all, if there was no more war, their army would have nothing to do. How were the major departments going to make money? How were they going to sell the various weapons produced in their country?
One had to know that the arms trade accounted for a large portion of the world economy. The D Nation's government and the D Nation's President wouldn't give up on this so easily. If they wanted a place to be in chaos, then that place would definitely be in chaos. When the time came for a war, they could sell arms here and hold a peace conference there. The arms dealers would make a lot of money, and the government would also make a lot of money. Why wouldn't they do such a thing?
Jiang Cheng quickly escaped from the hotel with Shangguan Yunlong. He didn't even have time to check out of the room and directly drove away. He sorted out his thoughts. The Germans colluded with a certain corrupt person in the higher-ups. The corrupt person wanted money, the Germans wanted the oil field, and the terrorist organization was a lackey that was used by the Germans.
First of all, the Germans had directed a fake show in advance, killed Bassar, and then framed Jiang Cheng. But why would they kill a fake one? After killing the fake one, they found the murderer to kill the real one. This puzzled Jiang Cheng. This was like taking off one's pants to fart. It was an unnecessary move. They could have killed Basar directly and then framed him. Wasn't this more direct? Why did they spend a high price of ten million US dollars to hire Faisal to kill someone?
Were they afraid that he would see through their flaws at the time and stay behind to protect Basar? If he was there, it would not be easy for them to kill Basar. That was why they paid a high price to hire Faisal, just in case. Jiang Cheng thought about it and felt that this explanation was slightly more reliable. However, Jiang Cheng always felt that things were far more complicated than that.
Now that all the clues had been cut off, it looked like it would not be easy to find the mastermind behind the scenes. However, with Shangguan Yunlong by his side, it was more than enough to prove his innocence. With his testimony, he could definitely appeal to the General and the others.
Jiang Cheng drove Shangguan Yunlong to another secret safe house in Cairo. This safe house was a higher level than safe house No. 4. Ordinary agents would not know about this place. Jiang Cheng also knew about this place because he had access to high-level secrets.
The safe house was located in downtown Cairo, and it was even in the downtown area. As the saying went, the most dangerous place was the safest place. More than 90% of Cairo's population was Arab. Jiang Cheng casually changed into a set of clothes, put on some makeup, and stuck some beard on. He directly changed from an Asian man to an authentic Arab. Of course, the premise was that he could not speak.
Back in the safe house, Jiang Cheng first took out the first aid kit and briefly treated Shangguan Yunlong's wounds. Then, he took out an encrypted communication device and dialed a phone number in China.
The number was directly called to his superior, Ning Huanyu. Ning Huanyu was a senior general in the General Staff Department. He held four positions and had great power. His number was usually held by his secretaries. Of course, he also had his own phone, but it was a secret number. Only a few people knew about it.
Jiang Cheng dialed this secret number. The overseas call was transferred to Beijing. At this time, Ning Huanyu was in a meeting of the Political Bureau. The meeting was about the problem of a traitor in the Middle East incident.
Ning Huanyu solemnly said at the meeting that his old subordinates would not do anything that would betray the national interest. There must be a conspiracy or something.
General Dou of the Military Commission retorted, "General Ning, if what you've said is true, then why hasn't your subordinate Jiang Cheng contacted the Huaxia Empire until now? And why did he run away? If he is innocent, of course, we will clear his name. There is no need for him to run away! "
Ning Huanyu was so angry that his veins were bulging. He had been in the special forces in his early years, so he knew the ins and outs of these conspiracies. There were countless cases like this in the Special Intelligence Department every day. Once the agents were framed, who would dare to show their faces? They would be courting death if they did.
This Dou guy clearly wanted to kill Jiang Cheng. The competition within the Party was fierce, and everyone knew that the competition in the Military Commission was even fiercer. However, no one could show their faces in public.
Ning Huanyu instantly felt that things were very difficult to handle. Jiang Cheng had gone to Egypt on his own orders, and he had made a wrong move. Originally, this matter should have been handled by other agents, but Ning Huanyu considered the complexity of the situation in the Middle East. Moreover, it was Jiang Cheng's subordinates who carried out the security mission in the oil field, so he overstepped his authority and asked Jiang Cheng to go.
Ning Huanyu did not expect that his move would harm his subordinate. He instantly felt very helpless. His disciple had been framed as a traitor who sold his country for glory, and he had no way to prove it. It was really a joke.
Just as Ning Huanyu was in a dilemma, the phone in his pocket rang. Ning Huanyu's forehead instantly wrinkled. Not many people knew this phone number. Apart from his own family and a few important high-ranking officials, only that brat Jiang Cheng knew it.
Ning Huanyu took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the number on it. He found that it was from abroad, and the area code was Egypt. Ning Huanyu's nerves instantly tightened. He got up and said to everyone, "I'm sorry, I'll go out to take a call!"
Ning Huanyu was the General of the Military Commission and had a lot of power. If he wanted to leave the meeting to take a call, no one would dare to say no. Dou Jiangjun did not dare either. He smiled and said, "It's okay. General, please go ahead. We can wait for you!"
Ning Huanyu snorted. He did not give the idiot General who wanted to kill his disciple a good look. He directly walked out of the meeting room with a dark expression. After he walked out of the door, he immediately picked up his phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, who is this?"
As soon as Jiang Cheng heard the General's voice, he instantly became nervous. He said anxiously, "Hello, is this General? I'm Jiang Cheng! "
"I know it's you, you little brat. What have you done? Now the Military Commission, the Special Intelligence Agency, and the people from PetroChina are not letting you off the hook. They insist that you killed Bassar, destroyed our cooperative relationship, and betrayed the interests of the country. Let me ask you, did you do these things or not? " Ning Huanyu's voice sounded very calm and did not sound hurried at all. However, it gave Jiang Cheng a lot of pressure.
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "General, I didn't. I was framed. When I went in, I saw a fake Bassar. The real Bassar was killed after I left. The person who framed me is a mysterious figure in the upper echelons. His English name is Jack Francis. I don't know his Chinese name, but he has a red birthmark on his right arm. I suspect that this person is the mastermind of the whole thing. "
"Then do you have any evidence? A witness or physical evidence that can prove your innocence?" Ning Huanyu asked.
"Yes, I have a witness. He's right beside me. His name is Shangguan Yunlong. He's the person in charge of Cairo's underground. He was the one who asked me to look for Bassar. General, I'm innocent!"
"Of course I know you're innocent. If you dare to commit treason, they won't have to look for you. I'll go find you myself and shoot you to death. Alright, protect the witness and tell me the address. A small team will arrive at your place in a few hours. Go with them, and I'll get them to escort you back to your country. You'll be safe!"
When Jiang Cheng heard that, he instantly felt much better. He had been in the military for seven years and had bled and sweated for the country. He did not expect to almost be treated as a traitor. Fortunately, his superior was clear-headed and did not listen to one-sided words. As long as the general was there, he would be fine.
Jiang Cheng hung up the call with the general and sent his location to him. After Ning Huanyu received the message, he immediately called his secretary and asked him to arrange for a small team on duty near the Gulf of Aden to quickly head to Cairo to pick up Jiang Cheng.
