Chapter 69

Yue Zhi’s matter spread all over the world almost immediately, the news announcements all seemed to be written in advance as if they knew what was going to happen, spreading all over the place, saying similar catch-all news.

Because of the illegal oil trade, Yue Zhi and the Nigerian non-government armed forces cooperated, but in the end, because of the distribution of benefits, both sides had an armed conflict, and in the process used the aluminum thermite, which is banned by the United Nations. This resulted in the deaths of over four hundred civilians and over one hundred injured to varying degrees.

The new article not only illustrates the picture of Yue Zhi differently dressed in a black special combat suit, loaded with various weapons taken away by the army, but also many images of those who managed to survive but were badly burned lying on hospital beds as if they were worse than dead.

The guidance of the public opinion so that Yue’s stock price began to fall crazily, the wealth continues to evaporate.

This matter was locked up Qing Li they also guessed, but not clear news specific content, because they do not have communication tools.

Liang Jin heard Qing Li’s words brow instantly tied a dead knot, “This is all Li Chaoke’s plan, the government forces because of him to take the initiative to contact us, aluminum thermite . □□□ must also be his way to provide, everything is to plant evidence to frame.”

Qing Li took down the towel on Singhota’s forehead, dampened it with water and put it back on, “Is that so.”

Liang Jin watched her movements, “Don’t you think you and Singhota are getting too close?”

Qing Li finally raised his head, “I do not have the skills of a woodpecker, I can not give him surgery, nor do I have the ability to get him antibiotics or send him back to Singapore to receive treatment, he is because he went to look for me to become like this, you mean I should sit on the side and watch him die, so that can be considered to be a measure?”

Liang Jin sighed, “We have been colleagues for many years, I don’t want this to happen to him either, but you can’t even stop drinking water because of him.” He passed the cup of water in his hand forward, “If you collapse, there will be no one to take care of him.”

Qing Li took out two towels from the waist of Singo Ta’s pants and took the water in Liang Jin’s hand and poured it directly on top, “It’s fine, anyway, if this goes on, he’ll be dead before I collapse.”

Just like she said, Xin Gota’s face became more and more ugly, he was already a light-colored person, in the evening, the skin that was already white and reflective changed from the original kind of light pink tint, which would be flirted with and called “peach” to a dead gray, and even the light blonde hair had no luster at all.

Green Pear was on constant watch, and antibiotics were constantly being pumped into Singhota’s body, but there was still no way to help him beat the infection.

The next morning, Green Pear smelled a putrid odor similar to that of a dead animal, coming from Singota.

She called Woodpecker over to take a look, and Woodpecker unwrapped Singota’s bandage to change his dressing, and in an instant, that putrid odor became even more pronounced, “The wound is septic, and it’s too hot in here!”

Aonashi watched as he cleaned and drained Singota’s wounds, swabbing Singota’s blackened eyes with iodine-soaked cotton balls, and asked him, “Well, is he holding up?”

Woodpecker moved mechanically, doing everything he could right now, and looked at Aonashi to have motioned to say nothing.

“I see.” Aonashi nodded and reached over and pulled a picture out of Singhota’s front breast pocket.

Pecker came over to look at it, “His family?” They knew each other well, but for things outside of the personal, it depended on that person’s willingness to share, there were those like Mongoma who hung on to their family all day long, and those like Singoita who never talked about anything outside of themselves.

The photo was a family portrait of the outwardly attractive husband and wife sitting in a baroque carved chair, behind them stood three children from tallest to lowest, the tallest, Singota, next to his younger siblings.

“Well, they’re all dead.” Aonashi said, “Singota has instructed me that if he dies, when he is cremated he must burn this photo with his remains.”

The photo was time-stamped in the corner; it was May of 2011, taken on Singota’s seventeenth birthday, and his life came to an abrupt end two months after that, when the Yutte massacre occurred.

As darkness fell, the others each sat down on the ground and reluctantly went into rest, but Greenleaf couldn’t close her eyes, she was afraid that if she closed them and opened them again, all she’d see of Singota would be a cold, dead body.

The next morning, thirty hours had passed since their action, and the events had finally flipped.

Someone had uploaded a video of the incident, and even though it was nighttime, thanks to the advanced video equipment, it was still clear to see several men in Nigerian . Several men in Nigerian government military uniforms were seen carrying boxes labeled Aluminum Thermite. □□□ boxes into a jeep with military license plates.

There was also a clip of Yue Zhi and a lieutenant colonel from the government army entering and exiting the command center and having a friendly conversation, although it was impossible to hear what the two men were saying, it could be seen that it was definitely not a hostile relationship.

The third segment came from Yue’s tanker, where a group of people with loaded guns hijacked the tanker and attacked the people wearing Yue’s shipping uniforms.

By this point public opinion had completely reversed, and many of the world’s influential official media outlets came down and condemned the previous brainless reporting, claiming to have investigated the truth.

Regarding Yue’s tanker being held hostage by pirates, Yue Zhi led a team to personally come to solve the problem, the Zhenilia government forces took the initiative to join in, a win-win operation of rescuing a fellow soldier and eliminating illegal armed forces unfolded, but the government forces backstabbed Yue Zhi, using aluminum thermite . □□□ and planted guys Yue’s truth gradually surfaced.

There is also a media investigation into that village has repeatedly supported pirate groups and non-governmental organizations, has long been targeted for a long time, but the government has not been able to find definitive evidence, so take this opportunity to simply slaughter the village to eliminate the future, but do not want to take on the charge of slaughtering innocents, so planted Yue Zhi, after all, there are men involved in illegal actions in the village, but there are many more innocent women and children.

Yue Zhi even accepted an interview with the media, in the video, even though he was sitting on a humble chair, without his usual expensive suit, and his usually meticulous hair was loose, he was still full of aura, strategizing, and wearing a seemingly gentle smile, as if he hadn’t taken the incident into consideration from the beginning.

“The incident took place in Calabar, the government of Cross River State where it is located said it was just a personal act of some officers within the government army, I am willing to contribute to help them investigate, in fact I have pinpointed the mastermind behind it to South East Asia, after all, if something happens to me, the beneficiaries are almost all concentrated in that part of the world.”

The reporter asked the arranged question, “May I ask if there is any specific method or way?”

“Aluminum thermite . □□ is the main cause of civilian casualties this time, this item isn’t easy to obtain, starting from the supply channel of such a weapon can lead to a quicker target.” Yue Zhi said.

This interview was frequently on the hot search, almost occupying the front page headlines of the political and financial media.

Li Chaoke hated that he couldn’t just smash his computer and follow the network cable to Africa to kill Yue Zhi.

“Have someone release him and hurry back.” He instructed his men, then instantly became furious, “Is it hard to wait for him to find out about me and pull me down with him, Yue’s completely collapsed, and we lose Yue’s funds? It’s all a bunch of idiots! I can’t believe they would be videotaped like this!”

At four o’clock in the afternoon of that day, close to forty hours after the incident, the government forces released Yue Zhi with information on the exact location of Yue’s two oil tankers, and sent him a convoy of cars to pick up his people.

Yue Zhi had actually been very angry, angry and annoyed, he knew Li Chaoke’s drama but had to accompany him in this play, thinking of Qing Li’s appearance when they were separated, he had a kind of uneasiness in his heart that he himself couldn’t tell.

So the moment he lifted the tent, he saw the innermost sitting on the ground, white and miserable a small face, the other tilted his head, the expression did not change in any way, looking at him woodenly.

“We’ll take the helicopter directly away later, to the airport, the airplane is already waiting.” Yue Zhi said as he walked over towards Qing Li, “You guys go get your own weapons and equipment, recuperate as fast as you can.”

Everyone else walked out one after another, Yue Zhi squatted in front of Qing Li and touched her face, he was really heartbroken, “Why are you so haggard, did they give you a hard time? Don’t be afraid, we will leave now.”

He went up to Qing Li and wanted to kiss her, but Qing Li slowly inclined her head away and looked at Xingota on the ground, “He’s dying.”

Yue Zhi looked down, there was little emotion, “Let’s go back as soon as possible and provide him with the best treatment, it’s not too late, trust me, I won’t let him die.”

Qing Li looked at him and nodded, “That’s good.” Since Yue Zhi had said so, then Singhota shouldn’t die.

The government military helicopter took them to the airport, and also provided a set of medical equipment to be used to sustain Singo Ta’s life.

Qing Li simply cleaned up and washed up, so she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Singo Ta. The luxurious and comfortable king-sized bed made the deathly pale face less tragic, and the soiled clothes were all removed, scrubbed clean and decontaminated.

She reached out and poked his bare shoulder, the skin edematous and losing its elasticity, and she pressed down on a dimple that didn’t spring back half the time.

Perhaps it was because the airplane was so luxuriously comfortable, compared to a random tent on the land, Aonashi felt as if Singota wouldn’t die so easily in this environment.

“I’m sorry …… it’s all my fault.” Qing Li said, she shouldn’t have asked for Singota’s help from the beginning, in every sense of the word, Mongema wasn’t wrong, it was all because of her that Singota would be like this.

“Ah Li, come out and eat something.” Yue Zhi had become that suave Yue Zhi again, wearing a white shirt and suit pants, completely unable to imagine what they had gone through before.

Qing Li didn’t want to go, but she still stood up, she clearly realized that they were all under Yue Zhi’s control, and she couldn’t do anything until Singota was out of danger and did survive.

Although the experience of the past few days was nothing at all, no one was willing to suffer, so the others couldn’t help but slouch when they returned to their cozy surroundings, one by one they slumped in their seats as if they had been jerked around.

Yue Zhi pulled Qing Li to sit down in front of the table, “Simply eat a little first.”

Qing Li turned the fork in her hand, looked at the food in front of her, and pulled out all the things in that fruit salad that she didn’t know if they were oranges or tangerines.

Yue Zhi frowned, “Isn’t this citrus fruit your favorite?”

“The family I was on standby for during the operation, there were no men, only three orphans and widows, that’s why they were ostracized at the head of the village, I had two oranges in my pocket, I gave one and a half to the three of them, mother and son.” Qing Li raised her eyes to look at Yue Zhi, “They had not seen this kind of fruit, that mother gave her half to her youngest daughter in order to calm her frightened child.”

“I told them to hide before I saw your distress signal to leave, I felt sure it would be over soon.” Qing Li said, “But I dug up their bodies when I went looking for Singota, they were smashed to death by their own house, and that little girl still had half an orange cupped in her hand.”

Yue Zhi couldn’t help but lick his lips but didn’t utter a single word as he looked at Qing Li, that feeling of powerless anxiety coming back.

“I won’t even eat these anymore.” Aonashi said.

The beautiful things she remembered were stained with the blood of innocents, and it was too much for her to bear, just like the perfect lover and love she remembered had been bombarded with gunfire and never returned.

Nothing had changed, but everything had.
