"What's going on with that map?" Facing his former boss, Zhou Jiping asked coldly what he wanted to ask. Although he already roughly knew that there was something wrong with the map, he still wanted to know why Sewell took it.
Using such an old-fashioned map
"That map was left by the Spaniards. My ancestors took it from them because it marked the location where the Spaniards discovered oil and gas resources, but we didn't have enough reference to confirm it, so we could only conduct exploration based on that map.
Only then did I realize that the map had been changed countless times over the past few hundred years. In addition, the person who made the map was so unprofessional that the map had been passed down over the course of hundreds of years. The map I finally got was extremely wrong." Sewell was helpless.
He shook his head and looked at Zhou Jiping with eyes full of regret and pity. Obviously, he also regretted the consequences of misleading Zhou Jiping and believing in that map.
"What's going on with me? Also, tell me about yourself." Zhou Jiping had a lot of questions to ask, but in the end he decided to start with his own "death"
"Well, I'm sorry." Sewell said very apologetically again, then looked at Zhou Jiping apologetically and said, "This is a very troublesome matter. I can't explain it in one or two sentences. I have to explain it slowly." As he spoke,
Sewell looked at Zhou Jiping inquiringly.
Zhou Jiping nodded silently, agreeing to Sevier's request, completely ignoring the shock that his behavior brought to Sevier.
Indeed, in Sevier's view, the Zhou Jiping two years ago and the Zhou Jiping in front of him now seem to be completely different people. The Zhou Jiping two years ago was respectful, serious, and had commendable skills in car repair and driving.
technology, and the Chinese employees of the entire exploration team also have a very good relationship with him, otherwise Sewell would not have let Zhou Jiping become the team leader.
But now, Zhou Jiping simply stood in front of him and Slade with his hands behind his back. There was a powerful aura emanating from his whole body, and that shocking feeling made him feel that Zhou Jiping was also the one he had ever seen.
If he hadn't known in advance that Zhou Jiping was not the kind of person with a special status that he didn't dare to mess with, but had to rely on, Sewell would probably have behaved in a condescending manner towards Zhou Jiping. But then again, now he
How can the tone of his speech not be considered condescending?
"We have to start with that map." Sevier adjusted his mood and began to tell his map story: "That map was left by my grandfather. He turned out to be an official of the French colonial government in East Africa.
The diary mentioned that there was oil in East Africa, but he didn't know the specific situation. He only knew that this map was obtained from the Spaniards, and that the Spaniards were waiting for a few people in Ansol and Montaya.
This map of the colonization of this country was always a top secret until the French colonial government was driven out in the upsurge of independence in African countries in the 1960s. The entire colonial government agency was in chaos, and many materials were destroyed. My grandfather also
I hid my secret and didn’t hand over this map.”
"Later, because I have dual nationality, I joined the M Army and participated in the Middle East war. Fortunately, I was lucky and did not die on the battlefield. When my service period expired, I opened a restaurant in the Middle East with my comrades.
Security company, you know, the order in the Middle East after the war is very chaotic, and there is an urgent need for people with strength and experience in actual combat to provide security services. However, some powerful large companies in the Middle East mostly hate people from the M country. This is undoubtedly a problem for me, a dual national.
I worked there for three years and I made a lot of money. But who would have thought that because of an incident of manslaughter of civilians, my company was sued and my property was frozen..." At this point
, Sewell sighed heavily
"I still haven't figured out what happened. It was so weird. I can only suspect that someone set up a big net, and I was just a small fish in the net..." Sewell was lost in thought.
He shook his head and said: "At this time, someone came to me with the map left by my grandfather. He told me that my grandfather had just passed away and left me a huge property, which was oil.
And this oil is in East Africa. He said that he would help me solve everything, including the accidental killing of civilians, including the investment of the exploration team... and what they need is for me to stand on the stage as a Frenchman.
Start this journey of oil exploration”
"I also asked them why they were looking for me? They swore that because the map was left by my grandfather - of course this is a lie. Who would believe it?" Sewell had a look of helplessness on his face, and he continued: "
They also knew that I would not believe it, so they later told me: Things in East Africa were very messy, and it was not convenient for them to come forward directly, because that would destroy the sensitive political situation in East Africa. After all, Country M and Rose have reached a tacit understanding in East Africa. They
I didn't dare to touch Rose's fragile nerves easily - those were the years when Rose's economy was recovering and improving. At that time, it was impossible to anger Rose, so they chose me.
It was under these circumstances that I arrived in Montaya to be their puppet.”
"With their help, the exploration seems to be going smoothly. After all, they have done many things for us secretly, including security personnel, including exploring in places that are difficult to enter..."
"He was also sent by those people?" Zhou Jiping ignored the word "we" in Sewell's words and directly asked Slade's identity bluntly.
"Oh, I'm not, I'm a man of rules." When Zhou Jiping asked about his identity, Slade quickly defended that he was wronged
"Yes, he is not, he is just an applicant arranged by those people, and his background is very simple." Sewell also clarified for Slade.
Zhou Jiping nodded, agreeing with Sewell and Slade's confession, and then motioned for Sewell to continue.
"Later, something happened to you..." Sevier felt a little embarrassed, and had to adjust his emotions again before continuing: "When I reported this to them, they were frightened and said that at that time
Our position was already within the red line of the Natni River. It happened to be that the relationship between the two countries was very tense at that time. It was on the verge of angering Rose, so the matter had to be concealed. In the end, they treated you as if you died in An.
Saul's people then went through the insurance procedures for you and that's it..."
"Is this the end?" Zhou Jiping asked with some displeasure. He could sense that Sewell had something he didn't say.
