Zheng Jiayi could ignore Liu Handong's pretentious behavior. She introduced herself: "Zhongyanhuang's office in Kelin has been officially established. Qin Xianyang serves as the acting director of the office, and his level has also increased."
He was promoted accordingly and is now deputy director."
Liu Handong said oh and remained indifferent.
Zheng Jiayi continued: "This is the result of the game between the two parties. After all, our International Public Relations Department is only responsible for cooperation. Of course, the organization will not treat the heroes badly. Your administrative level has also been adjusted accordingly. Now you are in the right place. Congratulations,
Director Liu."
Liu Handong remained unmoved. His mind was not on this at all. A helicopter with the royal family logo was killed on MapleStory. More than 20 people were killed. Every wrongdoer has his debtor. If he can't escape, he comes to the palace.
Going to a banquet is not to cooperate with work, but to find out what is true and what is true and what is wrong, which is meaningless to him.
The palace has indeed tightened its security. In the past, there was only one tank at the gate. Now there are four T72 tanks, plus three BMP3 infantry fighting vehicles. There are also twice as many soldiers. The equipment is heavy and obviously full of live ammunition. The guests did not ride on it.
Instead of using his own car, he entered the royal court in a luxury bus provided by the royal family. The guards walked three steps to the post and five steps to the post. They seemed to have weapons hidden under their loose robes.
The Chinese delegation was not aware of the crisis at all. They were all immersed in the joy that the strategic cooperation letter of intent was about to be signed. Only Zheng Jiayi remained awake, but she could not do anything but wait and see.
Crown Prince Said's style remains the same. He and Zhang Bangxian signed a letter of intent for strategic cooperation in the splendid hall. The two parties exchanged letters, shook hands, signed again, and shook hands again. The flash lights were on and applause broke out.
Liu Handong noticed that the crown prince smiled very vicissitudes of life.
After the signing ceremony, there was a banquet. The Crown Prince was feeling unwell, so the attendants took his place to entertain the guests. The Chinese dignitaries did not dare to feast, but they just followed the rules and went on politely. Every smiling face was frozen.
After the banquet, everyone left the palace in a car. A helicopter flew over the sky. Liu Handong looked up and saw the logo of Colin's Royal Army printed on the fuselage. It was different from the royal logo. He felt confident that he would die on the island.
The special forces may be mercenaries rather than regular troops.
In the luxury bus, Zhang Bangxian’s loud voice sounded: “Comrades, haven’t you eaten enough?”
There was a burst of laughter, and Zheng Jiayi also laughed. This kind of state banquet was very reserved, and no one dared to open it to eat.
Mr. Zhang smiled and said: "I'm not full either, but it doesn't matter. I'll treat you when I get back to the hotel. I'll pay for it myself, so you can eat as you please!"
"Mr. Zhang, I love you!" a naughty young man shouted, causing another burst of laughter. Everyone was in a good mood. If the business was successfully negotiated, the leader would be promoted to a higher position, and the soldiers would also have a generous income. It was simply
It's a great harvest.
As the luxury bus was driving on the road, a group of military vehicles passed by. The hood of the bus was filled with army soldiers wearing khaki uniforms. They wore helmets instead of turbans. One truck even pulled a cannon on the back.
The members of the Yanhuang delegation did not notice at all that they sang songs under the leadership of Zhang Bangxian.
Liu Handong became anxious. He gently tapped Zheng Jiayi's arm to signal her to pay attention to the military vehicles on the road.
"Leave it to fate." Zheng Jiayi sighed softly, thinking deeply.
The luxury bus arrived in front of the Kempinski Hotel. The delegation members got off the bus and went upstairs. After a brief rest, they went down to the restaurant on the second floor to eat. The bus drove into the parking lot. The driver got off and left. After a while, the luggage compartment opened.
, a figure emerged, hid in the darkness, waited for a moment, and went to the street to hail a taxi.
Sharif was driving a Crown taxi passing near the Kempinski Hotel. He was driving absent-mindedly because Liu Handong and others had been missing for three days and there was still no news about his daughter. Suddenly someone rushed in front of the car. He hurriedly stepped on the brakes to stop and focused his gaze.
At first glance, the guest was a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a robe and a white hat, with a frightened look on his face.
The guest got in the car and said he was going to Saudi Arabia. Sharif asked him if he had any money. The boy took out a stack of U.S. dollars and gave him a brand new hundred-dollar bill, which was worth ten thousand dollars.
Sharif swallowed his saliva. Ten thousand US dollars was enough for him to work for a long time. However, he needed to bring a passport when going abroad. He had to go home to get his passport first, and then bring drinking water and dry food. You must know that this is a desert along the way, and there is no water.
It's absolutely not possible.
After he picked up his things and went back on the road, he found something was wrong. There were wheeled armored vehicles blocking the roads late at night, and the police with guns and live ammunition took to the streets, declaring martial law and strictly prohibiting any vehicle from leaving the city.
In desperation, Sharif had no choice but to drive back to the shantytown where immigrants lived.
…
In the early morning, there was a loud knock on the high-end suite where Zheng Jia lived. She put on her pajamas and went to open the door, asking first: "Who is it?"
"Liu Handong, something happened. The city is under martial law and entry and exit are strictly prohibited."
As soon as Zheng Jia opened the door, Liu Handong walked in quickly. The handle of a pistol was vaguely visible under his clothes. He turned on the TV and the news was playing on the Colin Emirate TV station.
The news host reported with a stiff face that according to the emir's will, Prince Said was deposed as crown prince and the new head of state will be taken over by the grand prince...
"A coup occurred last night." Liu Handong said, "Just after Said signed a strategic letter of intent with us, the old emir passed away, and the grand prince launched a coup, deposing the legal crown prince and replacing him. According to the current intelligence, the grand prince
At least it has the support of the army and police force."
Zheng Jiayi was a little nervous. She picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Bangxian's room extension. It rang for a long time before someone answered. Mr. Zhang was obviously not awake yet, and his voice was unclear: "Who is it?"
"I am Zheng Jiayi. Something happened. Colin had a coup, Said was deposed, and our agreement was no longer counted."
"I'll be there soon." Zhang Bangxian woke up immediately, got dressed quickly, and convened a meeting with core staff. Everyone gathered in Zheng Jiayi's suite. Everyone was at a loss. Yesterday, they were celebrating the signing of the agreement in a carnival. Today, everything was in vain. There were ups and downs.
People cannot accept it.
"Contact your family, report the situation, and follow the instructions." After all, Zhang Bangxian is the head of the branch, and the arrangements are very reasonable, but the problem arises, long-distance calls can no longer be made.
"Pack your luggage and leave, the overall situation has been decided." Zheng Jia said.
Zhang Bangxian thought for a while and made a decision: "Leave the personnel on duty and the others return to Riyadh."
The members of the delegation hurriedly packed their luggage and divided into two groups. Zheng Jiayi and others went to the airport. Zhang Bangxian led the team back to Saudi Arabia by land. As for Qin Xianyang and Liu Handong, they urgently needed to stay in Takikati, but they could
Depending on the changes in the current situation, we will decide whether to evacuate to the embassy.
Everyone carried their luggage downstairs and were about to check out. A group of police sealed the door of the Kempinski Hotel and strictly prohibited anyone from entering or exiting.
Zhang Bangxian tried to negotiate with the police and came forward with a translator to say a few words, but was beaten back with a rifle butt.
Helpless, everyone had to go back to their rooms and wait. Zheng Jiayi used a satellite phone to contact the airport and learned that King Takikati Airport had been closed, all civilian flights were grounded, army troops were stationed at the airport, and armored vehicles had blocked the runway.
Fortunately, the communication with the embassy is still smooth, and the relevant parties are urgently mediating. However, there is a coup in Colin, and the original diplomatic channels are blocked. It is difficult to find who is the new person in power. This is the most troublesome.
Zheng Jiayi turned on the TV, and the Emir's obituary was played one after another on the screen, announcing that Colin had entered the state funeral. The new Emir was the eldest son of the old chief, His Highness Nasir, commonly known as the Grand Prince. He was seventy years old this year and was in good health.
With a well-dressed beard, brown glasses, and a white Arabian robe, he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties.
The new emir declared martial law, saying that the country faced the threat of terrorists and must implement martial law. At present, the army, navy, air force, and police forces have all sworn allegiance to the new head of state, and quelling the rebellion is just around the corner.
The employees of Zhongyanhuang sighed, they were so hard-working that dogs bit pig urine bubbles, and they were all happy in vain.
Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed in. They were dressed differently from the police, and they all carried AK47s. The leading officer told Zhang Bangxian that he was ordered to hand over the person within ten minutes.
Zhang Bangxian pretended to be calm: "I don't understand what you mean, who do you want to hand over?"
The officer shouted something sternly, and the translator said tremblingly: "He said we were hiding terrorists and asked us to hand them over immediately, otherwise we would shoot them."
Zhang Bangxian was so frightened that it made no sense for a scholar to encounter soldiers. We provoked whom, and how could we suffer such a disaster?
Seeing that Mr. Zhang was no longer responsible, Zheng Jiayi stepped forward resolutely and told the officer sternly, "We are employees of Zhongyanhuang, a state-owned enterprise affiliated with the State Council of the People's Republic of China, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. You will be responsible for any losses to our personnel and property."
Colin is a small country. The coup officers only have His Highness the Prince in their eyes. They don't care about you or the five permanent members of the Security Council. The soldiers swarmed up and searched all the rooms, even the suitcases, leaving everything in pieces.
, it was in a mess, and the so-called terrorists were not found.
Before leaving, the officer said: "You are not allowed to leave the hotel. Please wait for our notification when to leave."
The armed soldiers withdrew, and Zheng Jiayi was discouraged. She collapsed on the sofa and was scared. She couldn't figure out who the soldiers were looking for.
Liu Handong came over and whispered: "Last night's coup, Said's son slipped through the crackdown. He probably followed our bus and escaped from the palace, so they came to the door."
Zheng Jiayi wondered: "So Said knew what was going to happen, so he invited us to the palace, is it just to let his son escape?"
Liu Handong said: "Yes, the Crown Prince is a very smart man... By the way, is the letter of intent for strategic cooperation kept with you or with Zhang Bangxian?"
Zheng Jia said, "Mr. Zhang is keeping it, what do you mean?"
Liu Handong asked: "Have you ever heard of the Edict on Clothing and Belts?"
