Being unable to contact him was the biggest worry. Duan Ruixiang was quite shocked when he received a call from Liu Hong at his temporary residence. His residence was not a secret place, and he was worried about being monitored. Fortunately, Liu Hong was just
After saying hello, Duan Ruixiang immediately responded.
"I can return to China soon. I still have some work that I need to explain to the government departments here before I can return."
Liu Hong was convinced that Ambassador Duan Ruixiang had stayed in Yugoslavia and had not returned home because of the secret in the basement. Now that he was talking about returning, he was implying that the fighter planes had been returned safely.
Then he said in a junior tone: "Have all the staff returned to China? We miss you very much, especially aunt, who often told me when you would come to our home with those capable staff.
"
He had never talked about any capable staff with his wife Qin Weilan. Duan Ruixiang paused for a moment and realized that Liu Hong must be talking about a few young soldiers on the mission. His face was solemn, but his voice had to be pretending to be relaxed:
"Two of them will be late, and the others will return to China with me."
...something bad happened!
After Liu Hong cut off the call, he immediately said: "No. 2, something bad happened! Two got away, and two more were targeted! It was not convenient for Ambassador Duan to tell me on the phone at home, and he said he would call me later.
Explain it in more detail!"
This is not good news, and it makes everyone feel confused.
Duan Ruixiang picked up his pen and wrote a few key points at his desk, intending to ask his secretary to go out and contact Liu Hong. Then he handed the note to his secretary, and the doorbell rang suddenly.
After the fight inside the embassy last night, Duan Ruixiang was ready for someone to visit him.
This was not the first time Burton Lime met Duan Ruixiang, nor was it the first time he paid a visit. "Dear Mr. Ambassador, I am very sorry for taking the liberty of disturbing you again."
"Colonel, you're welcome. Please sit down." Duan Ruixiang's expression remained as usual, even with a slight smile. "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank the colonel. If the colonel had not helped me last time, I would have fallen into the hands of radical militants.
It’s in.”
Duan Ruixiang has always maintained appropriate enthusiasm for this young American colonel who is as elegant as Guizhou. He is not too close or deliberately distant, so that he can make the other person feel at home and relax.
Burton Lem had carefully looked at the elegant and graceful diplomatic ambassador in front of him, and then said with concern: "Ambassador didn't seem to have slept well last night. Your face looks a little bad."
"There was a fight in the central area, and I heard gunshots here. In addition, because I was going to return to the country soon, I had to clear things up with the government as soon as possible. Listening to the gunfire, I stayed up late at work... I feel lucky.
The flames of war have not spread here."
Burton Lem showed an apologetic expression on his handsome face and said sincerely: "I'm sorry for disturbing the ambassador. I came today because I have something I want to inform the ambassador."
Then, he told Duan Ruixiang what happened in the Chinese Embassy last night one by one. Occasionally, he would lower his head slightly, but at that moment he calmly observed Duan Ruixiang's expression.
Duan Ruixiang's performance was naturally very angry. He suppressed his voice, maintained the demeanor of a diplomat, and said sternly: "We in China have an old saying that "the heart can be killed." He broke into the embassy at night and tried to force something that was not in vain.
To blame us, the Chinese, is really too much of a deception."
