After taking a hot bath from the built-in bathroom in the bedroom, Chu Jing finally felt refreshed all over her body.The fatigue after the day seemed to erupt at this moment, making people no longer want to move.

After wiping the tips of her hair that were still dripping with water, Chu Jing walked to the side of the bed, and took out the mobile phone placed by the bedside to look at it.The screen shows that a new message has been received.Press the button to open it and check it out, the few lines of text messages that are not too long put Chu Jing in a good mood.

In a happy mood, he put away his mobile phone, put the damp towel aside, and lay comfortably on the bed, ready to catch up on sleep.

Well, now that the Chu family is back, as for what to do next, he still needs to think carefully about it.

And the other end--

"Ascher, my old friend, long time no see." Zuo Yiyuan looked at the man wearing a pair of sunglasses opposite with a smile, and greeted calmly.

Compared with Zuo Yiyuan's natural attitude, the man named Asher's attitude is obviously much more reserved.

Zuo Yiyuan could naturally see that Asher's attitude didn't seem very relaxed, but he didn't say much about it, he just patted Asher's shoulder kindly, and smiled at him. , "Don't stand here. I've already ordered a table of meals for you, why don't you chat while you eat?"

Asher forced a smile, nodded, followed Zuo Yiyuan into the restaurant.

"I said, Asher, you Sierra Leones must have made a lot of money recently, right?" Zuo Yiyuan and Asher drank several glasses of wine in a row, and the atmosphere during the dinner instantly became more active.Gently shaking the wine glass, Zuo Yiyuan raised his head and looked at Asher who was sitting opposite him, and asked a little tentatively, "I heard that the diamond mining industry will all be announced soon. New data?"

Hearing this, Asher, who had already started talking due to a few glasses of wine before, suddenly stopped talking, looked at Zuo Yiyuan, hesitated to speak several times.He opened his mouth, finally just sighed with a wry smile, and said, "L, others don't know, don't you know? What's the use of Sierra Leone having so many diamond mines? The real control over this thing is not in our hands." -"

Asher gestured, with a kind of resignation and helplessness flashing on his face, "80.00% of the world's diamond trading is controlled by them, as long as they are willing, our diamond veins can immediately become a Stack stone resources!"

Zuo Yiyuan listened to Asher's complaint, smiled politely and listened, but didn't answer.When Asher seemed to have finally complained, he gave another wink and signaled the subordinates standing beside him to pour wine for Asher.

"The truth is indeed the truth, but Asher, I think, about the diamond mine - is your government hiding something from me?" Zuo Yiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Asher's drinking time , asked with a half-smile.

"What, what?" Asher seemed to be taken aback by Zuo Yiyuan's sudden question.

"Because the diamond mining rights that I have almost reached an agreement with your country seem to have encountered a small problem," Zuo Yiyuan crossed his hands against his chin, his attitude seemed a little careless, but his dark brown eyes did not blink Looking at Asher intently, the coercion revealed in those eyes almost made Asher feel a little unsteady holding his wine glass, "I attach great importance to this industrial cooperation with your country, but the mining rights that were agreed at the beginning are temporary. Was unilaterally dismissed—Ascher, I think you should be able to understand my feelings?"

"Yes, yes, our government is very sorry." Asher tried hard to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and put the wine glass in his hand back on the table.Although they knew that Zuo Yiyuan had flown to Sierra Leone this time, and sent his subordinates to express their desire to have a "friendly conversation" with government officials, they knew that Zuo Yiyuan was not a good person this time.However, Asher had to admit that even though he thought he was mentally prepared beforehand, when he actually faced Zuo Yiyuan head-on, he was still a little passive and at a loss.

"Ascher, I think this is not something that can be offset by a single apology." Zuo Yiyuan changed his posture, slightly supported the edge of the table with his hands, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair behind him, and supported himself. The fingers of the right hand touching the tabletop tapped lightly on the tabletop.

A muffled sound full of rhythm rang out in the room, and the scene that had been considered a harmonious atmosphere just now immediately became a bit condensed and awkward.

And Zuo Yiyuan's more powerful and intimidating aura than before also caused a cold sweat to break out on Asher's forehead opposite him.

This time Zuo Yiyuan flew to Sierra Leone suddenly, and everyone knew why.If possible, the government on their side certainly doesn't want to have a bad relationship with such an arms dealer who controls many arms businesses.However, this time the situation is a bit——

"L, I have to say, you have to believe that our government has always cooperated with you with great sincerity—but, this time the situation is really, cough." Asher spoke hesitantly, At the end of the speech, he hesitated for a while, but he still didn't complete the sentence, he just looked at Zuo Yiyuan hesitantly, his face flushed because of embarrassment.

"Of course, I have never doubted your country's sincerity." Zuo Yiyuan raised the corners of his lips, "This is why there are so many countries in West Africa and South Africa that have diamond mines, but I only chose to cooperate with your country. "

"Yes, yes, you can understand this—" Asher heard Zuo Yiyuan say this, and there seemed to be a hint of relief on his face.Nodding towards Zuo Yiyuan, he kept saying yes.

Zuo Yiyuan glanced at Asher with a half-smile, and interrupted Asher without waiting for Asher to finish speaking, and said unhurriedly, "It is precisely because I have never doubted that The sincerity of your country’s cooperation with me made me very puzzled by the refusal of the mining rights. Therefore, I did a little investigation on this.”

Asher looked at Zuo Yiyuan, his face turned pale with tension.His lips trembled, but he didn't say a word.

"I found a very interesting thing," Zuo Yiyuan said here, as if to observe Asher's expression more carefully, but the speed of his speech was deliberately slowed down, "In the past two months, the export from Sierra Leone There seems to be a sudden increase in rough diamond sales to other countries?"

"This--"

"Asher, your expression... means I guessed it right?" Zuo Yiyuan smiled lightly, his voice was not heavy, but with a touch of certainty, "Rebels, huh?"

Seeing that the internal troubles and embarrassment that he had never wanted to show were still caught by Zuo Yiyuan's words, Asherton's entire expression turned gray.He stretched out his hand and covered his face vigorously, and then looked at Zuo Yiyuan's expression again. Although it was inevitable that there was some despair, the whole person seemed relaxed.

"L, you guessed right." Asher said with a wry smile. "Actually, Sierra Leone has not been peaceful. You know, the anti-government organizations here have been very rampant. And just a few months ago, those Anti-government groups have popped up again and seized several of our mining farms at a very fast speed, exporting large quantities of rough diamonds to fund their military equipment."

"But what they don't care about, our government has to consider the consequences." Asher said, the hand hanging by his side slowly clenched into a fist, and bloodshot eyes appeared in his staring eyes, "The group You bastard! The rough diamonds they exported have far exceeded the normal export volume permitted by Sierra Leone. If no control is carried out, the final outcome of Sierra Leone can be imagined!"

Zuo Yiyuan squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Sierra Leone can't stand so much devastation anymore." Asher drank the white wine in the glass in one gulp, a strong sense of powerlessness exuded from his whole body, "So, L, even though I might have offended you, But I can only express my opinion to you on behalf of the government, under such circumstances, I am afraid that the mining rights of diamond mines cannot be handed over to anyone."

After Asher said those words, the whole person fell silent again, just as if he was about to vent something, drinking one glass after another.

It is well known that Sierra Leone was once one of the most concentrated sources of conflict diamonds, but after the end of the 11-year civil war, this momentum was also curbed.But unexpectedly, with the rampant anti-government organizations, conflict diamonds began to appear again.

Zuo Yiyuan thought for a while, then asked, "Those anti-government revolutionary forces seized the diamond mining area, but without passing the certificate, how could these diamonds be allowed to circulate in large quantities in the market?"

Asher shook his head and sighed, "That's the problem. L, I don't know who those bastards enlisted for help—all the rough stones exported have valid certificates. So for As a result, there is little our government can do.”

"—False?" Zuo Yiyuan frowned, watching Asher spit out his conjecture.

"But it can indeed be said that the fakes are confusing the real ones." Asher scratched his hair a little irritably, "Now we may not be able to deal with these problems on our own, so we have already submitted assistance to Interpol Please, I hope this incident can be contained once and for all.”

"Is that so?" Zuo Yiyuan murmured, thinking of something, and when he looked at Asher again, there was a smile on his face, "Asher, your country has the sincerity to cooperate, and I naturally have the sincerity." Yes. Since the reason for your country to suspend cooperation is due to some irresistible external factors, then, as your most loyal partner, I am naturally willing to wait and help you—for example, the latest arms or something? Of course , I hope that after this incident is over, the cooperation between me and your country can continue."

When Asher heard Zuo Yiyuan's words, ecstasy flashed across his eyes.

"L, what you said is true? Are you willing to provide us with arms? God! Of course we will continue to maintain a cooperative relationship as long as this incident is over!" Asher nodded excitedly, "I promise on behalf of my government!"

"Then, I'm looking forward to our cooperation." Zuo Yiyuan smiled, raised his glass to signal Asher, then raised his head and drank it down in one gulp.
