After learning that the person who kidnapped them was a member of the Secret Service, Mr. Bankcroft actually breathed a sigh of relief. The bandits are lawless and can do anything, but there are always some tricks that the Secret Service cannot use, let alone
What's more, he still has some bombshells in a safe at the Federal Reserve, which is enough to keep him safe for the rest of his life.
Mr. Bankroft actually doesn't like his English name. He just wants to start a new life and is trying to adapt to it. Looking back on that time, it seems like a dream, but if you count carefully, it is only three or four years apart.
From a Chinese official to a wealthy American citizen, it seems far away, but in fact it is only separated by a layer of paper.
Now that he was confident, even though he was repeatedly reviewed by the Secret Service agents, Mr. Bank allowed the agents to use both hard and soft tactics, including some punishments, but he still refused to give in, because he knew that as long as he took a step back, he would be doomed.
, even if he does not return to his country to stand trial, without financial support, as soon as he is old, that is
It’s not easy to get along even in the United States. As the saying goes, if you don’t seek death, you won’t die. As long as you grit your teeth and survive these few days, you might hear explosions and gunshots one night, and then a group of soldiers shout:
The U.S. Marines are rushing in with automatic rifles. After all, we are American citizens now and are protected by the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. military.
In fact, it is not just Mr. Bank. Mr. Andrison, who suffered the same disaster with them, is also a veteran with rich life experience. But unlike Mr. Bank's toughness, he likes to pretend to be pitiful and innocent. The agent has just touched him.
He, he can immediately cry for father and mother with tears and runny nose running down his face, but as soon as he turns his head, he immediately refuses to admit it at all.
Compared with these two old guys, those young people are no good. The current wives of Mr. Bank and Mr. Andrison are both flower girls. If there is a problem, they only cry and speak only one sentence: What do they want from you?
Wouldn't it be over if you just give it to them? This is completely unreliable, so Mr. Bank and Mr. Andrison usually don't let them know secrets they shouldn't know.
The other three young men, a single young man named Xia Kaiwei, also have an English name, but it is only printed on his passport. No matter where he goes to sign or introduce himself, he always uses the Chinese name Xia Kaiwei, and often says: "I am Chinese."
, my roots will always be in China."
Xia Kaiwei was a bit arrogant. When they were hunting and chatting together, they revealed that he was here for the last time and would return to China. The old man used some old connections, and of course money and other means, to let him enter the political world to gain experience. So when
When the Secret Service agent interrogated him, he actually said: "Do you know who I am?! Let me tell you, I went back to work in politics this time, and I can be the boss of you guys at any time!"
So he was beaten the hardest, and in the end he had to follow the policy of a good man not taking any immediate losses, and gave in first. However, he didn't have much money in his account, so he had to contact his old man if he wanted money.
There is another young couple. The girl is also a second-generation official, named Zuo Meichuan. The boy is a pretty boy with an English name called Jerry. This name reminds people of a cute little mouse, but this one
Rats are not cute enough, but they are first-rate in being mean.
The three young men were inexperienced and always rushed with three axes first when encountering any problem. If they couldn't get through, they lost their minds and panicked. Fortunately, there were two old ones, so the uncle said,
Come and ask for advice.
At first, Mr. Bank didn't want to talk to these inexperienced young people, but as time went by, he felt bored and they were all a bit expressive, so he chatted with them a few words, but not many words of weight. He was a publicity officer.
, that’s all he has. In comparison, Mr. Andrison is just
He is more easy-going and very talkative. He can be said to be very thoughtful and talk endlessly, but the summary is: don't worry, as long as you hold your tongue tightly, the final result will not be to be looked at by the Sannia police or the American special forces.
If he was rescued, the Secret Service would let him go in despair.
"Then, what if they escort us back to China?" Xia Kaiwei had been beaten several times in the past few days, and he was already full of anger before he started.
"Then there's nothing to worry about." Mr. Andrisen said: "Xiao Xia, Mi Chuan, Jerry, there's nothing wrong with you personally. Mr. Bank and I...hehe, of course we still have some unique skills for self-defense.
, and I see that these people are not very capable and will not imprison anyone. If we were detained separately, our mental pressure would be greater and it would be easier for us to confess. I remember when I was the police chief.
…….”
Mr. Bank may have felt that Mr. Andrison talked too much, so he coughed twice as a reminder.
In fact, Mr. Bank was a little worried at this time. What if the Secret Service people jumped over the wall and committed murder to vent their anger? Anyway, there are so many tourists missing every year, and not all of them can be found. But then I thought again, then
First of all, they will not be able to complete the task of recovering stolen goods and will not get any benefits. However, it is better to deal with it carefully. If it is not possible, it is okay to sacrifice the small to protect the big. The key is to seize the opportunity.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door was opened violently, and a group of wolf-like Secret Service agents rushed in. Without saying a word, they blindfolded and gagged them, like piglets, tied them up and left.
They were first pushed into the car and bumped along for a long time, then put on the boat and thrown into the cabin. After driving for a long time, someone took off their blindfolds and warned them: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Then he also removed the gag in his mouth.
After everyone took a few breaths, Mr. Bank and Mr. Andrison's wife began to cry. In fact, they had been crying since the day they were arrested. I don't know where there were so many tears. But the other woman
From Zuomeichuan to Po
There are some girlish looks, but his husband Jerry often sheds tears like a woman. Finally, Zuo Meichuan got angry and kicked him hard and said: "Keep crying! If you keep crying, throw it into the river."
!You have nothing to do with this!"
They were on the boat for several hours, during which they were not given food or drink, and were not allowed to go to the toilet. If they asked a little bit, the gun-wielding guard guarding the door of the cabin would call him with the butt of his rifle, and several people had to hold it in.
, Fortunately, the few of us didn't eat or drink anything before setting off, so the suffocation was not too severe, and we didn't make a fool of ourselves on the spot.
Finally they arrived at the shore and parked the boat, and the gun-wielding guards let them ashore. At this time, it was dawn, Mr. Bank was a little seasick, and his hands were tied, and some of them were unsteady. The situation of others was not much better, so everyone had to
Relying on each other to land.
After his feet stepped on the solid ground and took a few breaths of fresh air instead of the turbid air mixed with the strong smell of diesel in the cabin, Mr. Bank felt alive again. But before he could fully recover, a row of cars appeared in the distance.
As the light came closer, a loudspeaker sounded at the same time, but I didn't know what the loudspeaker was shouting.
The expressions of the surrounding Secret Service agents suddenly changed. They waved their rifles and blasted them back into the cabin, warning: "Don't make a sound! Otherwise, we will not be responsible for your death."
"What's going on? Uncle An Ruisen?" Zuo Meichuan was a female man after all, so he was brave and asked An Ruisen quietly while the hatch guard was looking out.
An Ruisen turned blue and nervously tried to look outside the cabin, but the door was blocked by the broad back of an agent. He saw nothing and did not hear Zuo Meichuan's question.
Mr. Bank was relatively calm. Judging from the nervousness of these Secret Service agents, there must be more ferocious people outside. He tried his best to lower his body so as not to be accidentally injured if an accident happened. Several other young people saw it and followed suit.
He looked like he was leaning against the bottom of the ship, and at the same time he raised his ears to listen to every sound coming from outside.
The sound of the convoy's brakes and the sound of soldiers running were heard from outside the cabin, and then someone began to talk. It seemed that they were negotiating something, but the negotiation didn't seem to be going well. The conversation between the two parties became louder and louder, and finally there was a sudden "bang bang" sound.
Two gunshots were fired, followed by automatic weapons fire and people shouting.
There were sounds, angry scoldings and the sound of running back and forth. The agent guarding the hatch also opened fire. He emptied a magazine and seemed to want to evacuate the hatch, but as soon as he stood up, blood mist burst out of his chest, and his body
He fell crookedly and fell on the deck, and then another row of bullets came, and a row of bullet holes was punched out in the wall of the cabin.
Although the entire shootout lasted less than two minutes, it seemed like hundreds of years to the people in the cabin. Four of the seven people couldn't hold it back for a while, and their pants became wet.
I can’t blame them for being timid. They had been holding their urine all night. So it’s one thing to watch a gunfight movie, but it’s another thing to actually have bullets around you. So ordinary people without training must not be fooled.
Talk about war, because they have no idea what war is really about.
The gunshots outside were sparse. As the ship's hull swayed, Mr. Bank and others noticed that someone had boarded the ship. They saw the door curtain was raised and a gun barrel was inserted first. They couldn't help but say "dah da da"
It's just a shuttle. Fortunately, the shot is relatively high.
It hurt people, but the debris in the cabin was either smashed to pieces or flying around. The men and women lying on the ground were also scared to scream. In the end, Mr. Andrison had the insight and screamed at the top of his voice.
Said: "Don't shoot! We are hostages!"
This voice really got it right. The cabin door curtain was completely torn off. A soldier wearing camouflage uniforms and a red beret stepped into the cabin. A flashlight was tied to his automatic rifle.
He took random photos, and then suddenly asked in standard Mandarin: "Chinese?"
When Xia Kaiwei heard these words, he almost shed tears. He heard the local accent thousands of miles away, and the most important thing was that they were rescued. It was not the Kenyan police or the American special forces who rescued them.
, this is clearly... the People's Liberation Army! Because through the dawn light coming from outside the cabin, he could see clearly that the person who came had indeed a typical, handsome Chinese face.
"My loved ones." Xia Kaiwei found the strength from nowhere at this time and actually struggled to stand up and faced the 'infected man'.
The assassin was also very affectionate. He raised his leg and kicked him to the ground. Then he said, "You guys are so lucky. Normally I would throw a grenade into the cabin first."
