Chapter 43
Qing Li walked out of the lounge staring at the gazes of almost everyone present.
The people present there were high ranking military and political officials from Southeast Asian countries, representatives from various levels of weapons manufacturing companies all over the world, as well as non-government armed forces and large-scale mercenary organizations from all over the world, these people were used to big scenes, and even lived a life of licking blood from the mouth of a knife every day.
Taking off this layer of civilized suit, they are the most cruel beasts in the jungle of the world, their eyes are like poisoned arrows, looking at the deadliest point of other people and the point of the highest interest, just like hyenas peeping at the faint smell of blood in the air and then waiting for the opportunity to move.
Ordinary people who stand here, even if they are not scared to silence, incontinence on the spot, must be hands and feet soft to move, but Qing Li is showing other people know what is happening at a glance of the plump lips, expressionless and calmly returned to Lance’s side, took his arm.
In fact, her mind is just in the lounge all kinds of, if it is in their own bedroom, she may lie on the bed and roll two, can say that she can keep this calm, one because never care about other people’s eyes, do not take other people in the eyes, one is because of professional ethics.
Lance’s sigh was bigger than every time before, Qingli snapped back to her senses in a second and entered the work state of being responsible for her employer, “What’s wrong?”
“I’ve foreseen the topic of tomorrow’s circle, my old man will definitely call me to ask me, saying that I’m not good at messing with anyone’s woman, but actually messing with Yue Zhi’s head, and then pull out the horsewhip to whip me, and whip me half to death.”
Qing Li heard the flirtation in his words, did not care.
Lance was surprised, “You admit it?”
Qing Li frowned, “Admit what?”
“Admit that you are Yue Zhi’s woman ah, this morning I joked on the plane, said that you are Yue Zhi’s woman, do you want to report your trip to him, you said that you and Yue Zhi are not that kind of relationship, do not need to report.” Lance said, “As a result, you two kissed and the relationship was established?”
It wasn’t because of a kiss that the relationship was defined, but the relationship between the two had already been ambiguous and tight to the limit, and was just short of this second kiss to give a clear definition.
Qing Li of course would not casually talk to others about these inner secrets, so she chose to remain silent.
Yue Zhi came out from the lounge after a long time, more in the limelight than Qing Li, but he was equally frank, he came directly to Qing Li, smiled and touched her hair, “I have something to do, I have to leave with Xiji first, there shouldn’t be any accidents here tonight, but you still need to pay attention to safety.”
Qing Li nodded, “Mister too.”
Yue Zhi’s palm rubbed over her cheek, looking into her cool eyes, slowly sliding down to her slender neck, finally not being able to hold back, he swept over her head, dropping a kiss on her forehead, “Finish the mission, and come back early.”
The tips of Qingli’s ears were red to the point of dripping blood, but she only gave a restrained “hmm”.
Lance, whose arm was still being held: …… Am I a part of your PLAY?
Yue Zhi and Xiji left first, he originally came to show up on behalf of Li Chaoke today, there is nothing else to do.
Xiji asked, “Did you and Qingli make it clear?”
Yue Zhi: “Uh, what’s wrong?”
“Then you’re happy again just now also don’t need to be like that, so many pairs of eyes staring at it, at this time friend and enemy, can be considered to push Qingli to the tip of the wind and waves.” Xiji was mainly worried about Qingli’s safety, although there was no media on this occasion, Qingli had left a deep impact on these people from all levels, being linked with Yue Zhi and the New Russian Technology Group, there was definitely a great risk.
Yue Zhi actually knew that he was more or less out of line just now, “I just couldn’t help myself.” Speaking the truth, but also had his own considerations.
“Li Chaoke’s existence is just too obtrusive, I can’t wait for another ten years.”
Xiji sighed, “Now is not the time, no matter how anxious you are, you have to take things step by step, lest the other party jumps over the wall in a hurry and comes to a fish death trap.”
The banquet has been carried out to the second half, the people who should be contacted have been contacted almost, the people who have the intention to buy have also communicated with each other, the goals of the people on the field have basically been reached, the atmosphere is instead tightened up.
Even those security personnel wearing suits to act as waiters, the expression is also serious, as if the hands of the tray is not placed on the wine but some kind of lethal weapon.
Not everyone was like this, and only a very few people felt this change in atmosphere, Aonashi being one of them.
“Something’s wrong.” She leaned in close to Lance, more like shielding him behind herself, and the other bodyguard Lance had brought in leaned in as well.
Qing Li guessed that Yue Zhi didn’t come to a place like this on his own, Yue wanted to buy weapons, he couldn’t use him personally, when he left he said that this place would be fine tonight, he must have received this news as well.
Now it looked like the news was 100% false.
“Lance, follow me, go over the right window, slow down, don’t be too nervous and deliberate.” Qing Li walked forward on Lance’s arm, and even served a glass of wine when she passed the waiter.
Right now this hall was like a pressure cooker bursting with stress, just one small trigger and it would explode immediately.
“What’s going on?” Lance hadn’t felt anything yet.
“Someone must have gotten mixed up in here tonight, I’ve heard from my companions that some of the black . Gangs even directly do business with the state arms, controlling a third of the army and police’s weapons source, then flow the defective or outdated weapons to the society, causing law and order chaos, and profiteering from it, they surely don’t want the state arms to directly order from the weapons manufacturing companies like you, and stabilize the society, that’s the source of the conflict of this banquet.” Aonashi said, her beautiful eyes flowing, actually observing the movements of the others.
“Someone in the government must have taken a bribe . Bribes to leak information about this banquet, that’s why no matter which country it’s held in, something always goes wrong with this banquet.” Lance wasn’t a fool and was able to push out the powerful connections.
“Hmm.” Qing Li and Lance sat on the sofa in front of the window, she appeared to raise her hand around Lance’s shoulder, but actually took the opportunity to push the window, it was locked, there was no way to push it open, “There are definitely target people tonight, it is estimated that they are the representatives of the weapons companies and the government officials who have already confirmed their intention to buy, you’re not the main target, just stay close to me, and get out of here safely. ”
Lance involuntarily gulped, “Got it.”
Qing Li crossed her legs, a snow-white leg was exposed from the slit on her pants over there, her slender hand gently placed on her half exposed knee, as long as it was ten centimeters further up, covered by her pants leg, near the root of her thigh was the black strap that held her usual saber, and the diamond encrusted satchel at her waist contained a pistol that was less than fifteen centimeters in size.
Lance’s heart clenched, “You’re really, I’m already nervous, and I can’t help but look at your legs, it’s making me so flustered.”
“My legs?” Qing Li came close to his ear, puffing her breath like an orchid, with a light smile on her face and cold eyes, “If you get distracted at this time, the next second there will be a bullet in your brain, making your head blossom on the spot like a watermelon, do you still dare to look at my legs now?”
“Give the order, my queen.” The ground behind Lance’s back stood up in sweat.
After sitting like this for five minutes, there was a sudden clamor, someone thought there was nothing more to do and wanted to leave, but they were stopped at the front door, saying that it was forbidden for anyone to enter or leave at this time, all the people present were dignitaries, that person had probably never suffered from this kind of anger, and blew up on the spot, pulling the clothes of the bodyguard at the door.
“Splat.” The sound of a glass breaking in the air, the entire venue fell silent.
Qing Li took out the pistol in his waistband and shot at the window behind him, the sound of the glass breaking accompanied by the sound of the thug’s MP5 submachine gun, igniting the fuse of the pressure cooker.
Aonashi pulled the leather cushion from the couch over the window frame to cover the glass, yanked Lance up and shoved his head out the window, “Climb!”
With one command and one movement, Lance crawled out on his hands and knees, and Green Pear motioned for his bodyguard to follow, standing guard in front of the couch himself.
In just ten seconds or so, the scene was already in chaos, the crowd was running around frantically, the sound of gunshots mixed with shrieks, and the smell of blood faintly filled the air.
“Nobody move!” The masked thugs noticed the situation on Aonashi’s side and rushed over with submachine guns raised in their hands.
Qing Li glanced back and after discharging a false shot, she crossed the window like a fish leaping through a dragon gate and scurried outside, pulling up Lance, who was hiding at the base of the wall, “Run!”
They came out of the window is the outside of the villa, at this time it was already dark, by the time the man rushed to the window, their figure had already disappeared, “Someone has run away, to the east of the woods to look for!”
Lance was physically fit, but had never run such a difficult path, the woods were so dark that he couldn’t see, there was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, soft and collapsing, every foot seemed to sink in, he couldn’t make any effort at all, after three kilometers his stamina was depleted.
“No one’s left, take a little break.” Lance gasped.
Qing Li stopped her footsteps, held her breath and listened to the movement around her, it was indeed quiet, she told Lance to hide under the root of a big tree, “You wait here, absolutely don’t move, I’m going to lure the pursuers away, don’t move whoever comes, unless you see me.” She emphasized again and again while handing Lance the gun in her hand, and then ran out with her own saber.
But there was no sign of anyone in pursuit, so she returned to Lance.
Lance could kind of see what she was capable of, seeing someone was like seeing the backbone, “Is someone coming after us?”
Qing Li shook her head, “The other party had a list in their hands, and figured that your presence wasn’t very important, so they gave up.”
“I don’t know whether to be happy or lost when you say that.” Lance was speechless, “What now?”
“Keep moving forward, I’ll contact my companions to meet them.” Aonashi took off the soldier’s tag that was previously wrapped around his wrist as a bracelet and put it back around his neck.
“Your companions? My three bodyguards are still waiting for me at the gate.” Lance walked deeper and deeper.
“The people at the gate have either been killed or are being held along with the people in the hall, the other side must want more hostages so they can make a deal with the government, so think about your own safety first.” Qing Li used the satellite phone to send a message to the head of Yue’s security company in Jakarta.
Lance also knew that this kind of thing was staged many times a year all over the world, in fact, the government wouldn’t compromise at all, so he had already counted himself very lucky, otherwise what would happen afterward was really hard to say, “Listen to you.”
Yue Qi hadn’t even arrived at Jakarta’s Soekarno Hatta International Airport when he received a call from Liang Jin.
“Something happened to the Bull Feast, it’s being held hostage by armed forces.”
Yue Zhi sat up straight at once, “Where’s Ah Li?”
“She escaped with Lance, in the forest to the east, I’ve already sent the location to the security manager, he’ll send people and helicopters to meet them.”
Yue Zhi sighed in relief, but his mood instead became worse, “Got it.” Then he instructed Menggema who was driving, “Don’t go to the airport first, go to the security company in Jakarta and wait for Ah Li to come over and go back together.”
After saying that he took out his cell phone to call Li Chaoke, “You did it on purpose!”
“You believed me when I said it was fine?!” Li Chaoke was also surprised, “Why are you so naive, it seems like you when you were a kid, the fact that you can still call me means that it hasn’t affected you, what a pity, I still want to see how much ransom you are willing to pay for yourself.”
Yue Zhi’s voice was cold and hard, “You want to utilize me again and want to except me, I’ll see how long you can make it, you’re already old, sooner or later you’ll have to die in front of me, I’ll win even if I live one day more than you.”
Finished regardless of the other party’s reaction, directly hung up the phone.
After a long time, he suddenly spoke, his voice was permeated with exhaustion, “Ah Li, is there any injury?”
Xiji sent a message to the manager of the security company, “I’ll ask for you.”
“Well, tell them to pick up Ah Li quickly.” He was eager to see her right away.
