Mino had been in a trance all day. It was obvious that she had something on her mind. The attentive Hu Xiulan quickly noticed this phenomenon. She asked her daughter-in-law with concern, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Do you want to go to the hospital? "
Mino waved her hand and said, "I'm fine. I just didn't get enough sleep last night. I'll go in and sleep for a while!"
Pregnant women had a big appetite and needed sleep. Hu Xiulan knew this very well. After all, she was an experienced woman. She helped Mino lie down and then walked out of the room. She said to Jiang Cheng, who was surfing the Internet in the living room, "Son, your wife is not feeling well. Why don't you care about her? You only know how to play computer games."
At this time, Jiang Cheng sat in front of the computer like a block of wood. His ears did not hear what his mother said at all, because he saw a very shocking news on the Internet.
In an archipelago country hundreds of nautical miles away from the East African coastline, a tragic terrorist attack took place. More than 70 people were killed and more than 400 were injured. The king and prime minister of this country were also on the list of the dead.
Jiang Cheng clicked the mouse and scrolled through the web page. The photos on the website were very clear. They were taken by a professional camera of the Associated Press.
The wreckage of dozens of cars at the scene of the incident were still burning fiercely. The bodies in the cars had been charred. Near the motorcade, there were dead bodies all over the ground. They were wearing the uniforms of the king's royal guards and were still holding guns in their hands.
These people were all killed by the sputtering damage of the explosion. The bomb directly blew up several large pits on the road. This was not an ordinary terrorist attack at all, but a premeditated, organized assassination with the support of powerful firearms.
A newly established country had not yet been recognized by the United Nations, but both the king and the prime minister were killed.
Jiang Cheng read the news carefully. The reporter said that the king and the prime minister were killed on the way to an important meeting. At that time, there were no other foreign troops on the island at all. There were only the African Salvation Army and the king's royal guards. The total number of troops was less than 1,000, and they only had ordinary weapons, not even surface-to-air missiles.
It was obvious that the explosion was caused by the air-to-ground missiles dropped by the planes in the sky. With such a large explosion range, at least dozens of missiles fell.
The reporters from the Associated Press immediately interviewed the local residents and obtained first-hand information. The local residents said that they did not see any armed forces approaching the King and the Prime Minister's motorcade at all. They only heard the whooshing sound coming from the sky.
Needless to say, this was the sound of a missile. The Associated Press reporter immediately realized that this was an organized and premeditated terrorist attack against the leader of an emerging country. He immediately published the news on the Internet.
However, the attention of the international community was now focused on the Middle East. The problem in Syria was complicated. The US and the Russians were fighting openly and covertly in Syria. Turkey had sent troops to Iraq, which made the Russians very nervous. The hijacking incident had not been resolved yet, and now there was a bunch of other problems.
The situation in the entire Middle East could be said to be in a mess. The eyes of the whole world were on the Polar Bear Emperor, wanting to see what he would do next.
As a country formed by several archipelagos in the Indian Ocean, except for its neighbors and some African countries, no one paid attention to this small country. This was because the archipelagos had been a colony of France since hundreds of years ago.
However, in the 1950s, Africa became independent, and the archipelagos had long been separated from France's jurisdiction and became a free territory. However, a few small boats sent by the Sultan had occupied the archipelagos. Some time ago, the Sultan signed an agreement with several European contractors, promising to lease the archipelagos to an oil company called Doyle. He also held a press conference.
The agreement had just been signed, and no one expected such a big incident to happen.
After reading the news, Jiang Cheng was in a bad mood. This Doyle Oil Company was registered by him and several Europeans with real money. Now, everything had become a piece of paper. What oil field, what mining rights, they were all fake. The leader of a country was gone. It could be seen what the residents on the island would do.
Now that the king was gone, the government was in a state of no supervision. The document signed by the former king had become a piece of waste paper. This would inevitably lead to a new round of competition. Jiang Cheng had spent a lot of effort to settle the former king. He did not want to work for someone else for free.
No, I have to rush over immediately and deal with this matter!
In order to plan for the future and protect his own interests, Jiang Cheng decided to fly to Africa immediately. He took out his mobile phone and called Zheng Xiaohu, Xiao Bai, and the others, asking them to pack up immediately and get ready to leave.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng walked into the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and began to pack up the clothes to change before going out.
As soon as Mino lay down, she saw Jiang Cheng push the door open and come in. He opened the wardrobe to take out clothes, and he took several pieces. Mino could not help but ask curiously, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Cheng said anxiously, "There is a problem with the business in Africa. I have to go there immediately to stabilize the situation. If I'm late, something big will happen!"
"What? Go now? Isn't the New Year coming soon? "
"I know, but it's urgent. I have to go there immediately. If I'm late, there will be nothing left!" Jiang Cheng casually packed a few pieces of clothes and threw them into the suitcase. In a few minutes, he finished packing. In the end, he also brought a lot of passports and cash.
Looking at this posture, Mino realized that Jiang Cheng was not joking. He was really going to go far away, and he was going to Africa, which he had just returned from.
What kind of place was that? It was a war-torn place. The news broadcast talked about the development of Africa every day. In fact, Mino knew very well that the place was still in chaos. Those who had guns were the warlords and the bosses.
She did not know how many independent warlords had appeared on the African continent.
Jiang Cheng had just absconded there for half a year. He did not expect to go there again now, and he only came back for a few days. The New Year was coming soon.
However, Mino understood that Jiang Cheng was a very enterprising person. He could not be restrained by his family alone. He was a typical liberal. Such a man could not be tied up and kept at home. Even if you kept him, what you kept was just a powder keg. You did not know when it would explode, and at that time, you would hurt yourself.
Therefore, Mino did not want to keep him. She got up from the bed and helped Jiang Cheng fold his clothes neatly. Then, she put on an outer jacket for him and said to him, "Be careful. Think twice before you act. If there is enough time, go home for the New Year!"
Jiang Cheng touched Mino's belly and said gently, "Well, don't worry. I will deal with things in the shortest time. Even if I can't come back for the New Year, I will come back before you give birth!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Cheng carried a simple luggage downstairs. Mino stood at the door and looked at Jiang Cheng's back. Her tears fell uncontrollably. A man's world could never be in this small room of a hundred square meters. Their world was very big, and only a broad world could accommodate it.
As soon as he arrived downstairs, he saw Zheng Xiaohu driving his Porsche to the door of their floor. The Cayenne was very fast. It stopped in front of Jiang Cheng with a sudden brake.
Zheng Xiaohu's head popped out and asked Jiang Cheng, "Brother, what's the situation? Didn't we go after the New Year?"
"Things have changed. Someone is carrying out a terrorist attack there. Two of my partners are dead. Now the contract is invalid. We have to go there immediately to stabilize the situation and get the contract that we promised before!"
Zheng Xiaohu and Little Bai knew it was definitely not a small matter. Their boss's partner was the king. The death of the king of a country was a big f * cking matter. In this era, how could killing the head of a country be the means of an ordinary person?
However, when the two of them thought of the days when they were shooting with submachine guns in the Middle East, they felt a wave of pleasure. The two of them often played with guns secretly, but they didn't dare to use them. This thing was contraband in China. If they were caught, it would be a big crime, so they didn't dare to play with it.
However, it was different abroad, especially in such a chaotic place. Even if they shot ten thousand bullets, no one would dare to say anything.
The three of them drove directly to the airport. On the way, Jiang Cheng called Lin Ziyang and Wang Ming.
"Lin Zi, I have something to do in Africa. I will deal with your matter when I come back. How about it?"
"What? You are leaving today? "
"Yes, today, time is tight!"
"F * ck, why didn't you say so earlier? I just submitted my resignation to the leader today, and the leader approved it without hesitation. Brother, I am a free man now. Don't be in a hurry to leave. Wait for me, I will immediately pack my things and go with you. Oh, and Wang Ming, give him a call and see if he wants to go!"
Jiang Cheng didn't expect this Lin Ziyang to be so fast. He actually resigned so quickly. He could only ask helplessly, "Then do you have a passport?"
"Yes, of course, I have it already!"
"Okay, see you at the airport in half an hour!"
After hanging up the phone with Lin Ziyang, Jiang Cheng called Wang Ming. Wang Ming wasn't as impulsive as Lin Ziyang. He said that he wanted to stay at home to accompany his wife for the New Year and couldn't leave now. Jiang Cheng understood him and didn't say much.
