Mary didn't dare to disobey. She wiped her tears and staggered to her feet. She picked up the cardboard and read the words on it.
Mike shook his head and said, "You're not good enough. Read it again. (Mei) "Then he pressed the record button.
Mary had to read it again. Mike recorded it completely on his phone. Then he looked at Gao Zixuan and said, "Now it's your turn to read it. You have to read it in Chinese. (Mei) "
Gao Zixuan was also very sad, but there was nothing she could do. Mary translated it again and told her to read it in Chinese.
Mike also recorded it. After watching the playback, he nodded with satisfaction. He called Sam and the two of them turned and walked out of the room.
After the iron door closed, Gao Zixuan and Mary looked at each other. Suddenly, sadness came from their hearts at the same time. They hugged each other and cried.
After crying for about a quarter of an hour, the two girls were tired from crying and finally stopped.
Mary said sadly, "Although I don't pay much attention to international affairs, I know about the organization ISIS. It's an extremist terrorist organization more vicious and brutal than Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Since it was established, it has caused countless terrorist incidents and killed countless civilians. They often kidnap people. What's more terrible is that they basically never release the hostages. "In other words, Miss Gao, our ending has been decided in advance. We will be beheaded. God, when I think of being beheaded alive, I feel so painful that I want to die. I'd rather kill myself now than be beheaded by them. "
When she said this, she looked around, as if she was looking for a tool to kill herself.
Gao Zixuan was also afraid of death by beheading. Hearing this, she cried again. But she quickly realized that unless she could cry herself to death, it would be useless no matter how much she cried. She calmed herself down and asked, "What did they mean by recording the video of us reading it?"
Mary sobbed and said, "It's very clear. After recording it and posting it on the Internet, it will trigger international public opinion and attract the attention of our government. In this way, they will pass on the fact that we were kidnapped and the demands made by ISIS to our government. This is their organization's usual tactic. "
Gao Zixuan thought for a moment and said, "I believe that once our government finds out about this, they will definitely try their best to rescue us. They will also try their best to comply with ISIS's demands. However, the European and American countries might not listen to our government. We are just two ordinary people. How can those countries cancel their military operations and political needs for the two of us? "
"That's what I thought, too," Mary said, sobbing. "So in the end, we're both going to die, whether our government accepts these scumbags' demands or not. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm really afraid of being beheaded alive. I'll die from the pain. Wuwuwu … "
When the two women analyzed the final outcome, Mike and Sam had already returned to the ground.
"Tomorrow morning, the President of France will come to Washington for a visit at Guanhai's invitation. Tomorrow is also the first Monday of September, which is Labor Day in the United States. We can post this video online and give the President of France and all the people of the United States a wonderful gift! (Beautiful) "
Mike said this with satisfaction, and a cold light flashed through his eyes.
Sam said bitterly, "As the lackey of the United States, France's military has been sparing no effort to bomb our territory. Shouldn't we give France a painful punishment? I think we can kidnap one or two French people next time. (Beautiful) "
Mike said, "That sounds good, but we'll have to wait until we're done with this matter. I can already foresee that for a long time in the future, the China government will be hostile to our enemies, and this is exactly what we want. (Beautiful) "
The two of them looked at each other and burst out laughing together.
…
In the lobby of the Tianlong Lake International Conference Center on the first floor, except for a few square meters of empty space in the middle, there were three layers of people outside. There were almost a hundred people. These people were either stretching their necks or standing on tiptoe, looking at the center of the circle excitedly. The scene was a little noisy.
There were only two people in the open space in the middle of the circle. One was the ambassador of the Shannan Province Poverty Alleviation and Development Conference, the Hong Kong superstar Gu Qingle, and the other was an ordinary cadre from the Provincial Government's Poverty Alleviation Office. At this moment, the cadre stood next to Gu Qingle with a reserved expression, facing the cameraman two meters in front of him, and tried his best to put on a smile. Gu Qingle, who was next to him, was very relaxed and natural, with a signature handsome smile on her face, and she even put her arm around his shoulder intimately.
After a "click" sound, the photo of the two of them was ready. The photographer stood up straight, but he did not put down the DSLR camera in his hand. Before the cadre next to Gu Qile could say thank you to the big star, four or five people had already rushed up to him.
"It's my turn!"
"It's finally my turn!"
"Is it my turn?"
"Let me take a photo with the superstar first, my daughter asked for it!"
"Me too, my son is also a fan!"
These people pushed the cadre of the Provincial Poverty Alleviation Office to the side, and rushed to stand next to Gu Qingle. The cameraman shook his head with a wry smile, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, there will be a chance!"
At the outermost part of the crowd, Li Rui looked at this scene with a smile on his face, and he found it funny in his heart. It turned out that the leaders and cadres all had the heart to chase after stars. But then again, as an ordinary person, it was very difficult to come into contact with a superstar like Gu Qingle in their daily life. Now that there was a free opportunity to get close to and take a photo with the superstar, they naturally would not let it go. This was not only the mentality of chasing after stars, but also the mentality of following the crowd. Perhaps some people did not want to take a photo with the superstar, but when they saw their leaders and colleagues doing so, they followed suit.
"Why don't you go in and take a photo?"
Suddenly, a mature and pleasant woman's voice sounded beside Li Rui, followed by an elegant fragrance that was intoxicating. He turned his head and saw the graceful figure of Zhang Yimiao, who was wearing a dark blue office lady suit, revealing her slender legs. He was surprised and happy to see her, and in front of so many outsiders, he did not know what to say for a moment.
It was already two o 'clock in the afternoon. Because some of the participating teams from the prefectures and cities arrived late, the opening ceremony of the conference was officially held at noon. Of course, there was no doubt that the opening ceremony was smooth and perfect, winning the unanimous praise of the provincial and city leaders and the news media at all levels.
After the opening ceremony, the participating leaders and cadres at all levels were led to the restaurant by the staff. After enjoying a sumptuous and delicious buffet, they either returned to the arranged rooms in the villa to rest for a while, or took a walk in the villa to enjoy the beautiful scenery while waiting for the conference to start later.
At this time, someone found the superstar Gu Qingle in the lobby on the first floor, and took the liberty to come forward and ask for a photo. Gu Qingle smiled and agreed. As a result, ten minutes later, the originally empty lobby had become a sea of people. If Gu Qingle had expected it to develop to this point in the beginning, he probably would not have agreed so easily. Even if he agreed, he would probably have to find a hidden place to satisfy the other party's request.
Li Rui actually liked Gu Qingle very much. He was a loyal fan of the other party when he was a teenager. Every film and television work of Gu Qingle had left a very deep impression on him, especially "The Return of the Condor Heroes", which was filmed in the Bai Gu era, and "Seeking Qin", which was filmed in the Bai Gu era. Li Rui felt that Gu Jinle's on-screen portrayal of Yang Guo and Xiang Shaolong was "unprecedented". It could even be said that within the next hundred years, there would not be another star who could portray the role better than him.
In his heart, Li Rui still wanted to take a photo with Gu Qingle, but with so many people lining up, he was too lazy to go forward and fight for it. However, if he missed this good opportunity, when Gu Qingle returned later, he would never be able to take a photo with him again.
When Li Rui thought of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I have to be able to squeeze in."
Zhang Yimiao said lightly, "Looking at your calm appearance, I thought you didn't chase after stars. It turns out that you do chase after stars, but you just can't squeeze in. But do you really need to fight for this opportunity like ordinary people? If I remember correctly, you were the one who invited Gu Qingle, right? You don't know him? He doesn't know you? "
Li Rui said, "I want to correct you. I didn't invite him. I asked a director friend to invite him. How would he know me?"
Zhang Yimiao said, "Okay, the meeting will start later. I'll fight for an opportunity for you. These people will all go back for the meeting."
Li Rui looked at her with a smile and asked in a low voice, "Are you already very familiar with the big star?"
Zhang Yimiao raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "Of course. When Gu Qingle came to Jingnan, I was the one who was in charge of receiving him. I have a say in front of him. You can laugh secretly first."
Li Rui smiled and asked, "Which villa are you staying in tonight? Are you staying alone? "
Zhang Yimiao's gaze turned cold. She looked around to make sure no one was paying attention and said in a low voice, "Do you want to die? There are hundreds of leaders and reporters living in the villa, especially your father-in-law. Don't tell me you want to do something bad at night? "
"What do you mean by doing something bad?" Li Rui curled his lips in disdain, "It's someone's mind that's full of bad things. I just haven't seen someone for a long time and miss her, so I want to talk to her about something personal. But she's good, going straight to the point. I say, can't she be more reserved? "
Zhang Yijin was so angry that her face turned red. Her beautiful eyebrows were furrowed. Her lips moved as if she wanted to scold him, but surprisingly, she closed her mouth tightly. She did not mock him. Instead, she stood a little farther away from him to avoid attracting gossip.
