stand-in offense and defense

All the things that could be used as time records were searched away. Everyone in the tent had no idea of ​​the specific time. They could only watch the night outside as the night gradually darkened. One after another fell asleep.

At this time, Di Ruizhong got close to Sheng Bin and the others and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do next?"

The situation in front of me was really bad.

Sheng Bin glanced at Su Shi: "If there is a way to escape, I still have to try."

"Escape?"

Di Ruizhong obviously didn't expect this answer: "Do you think you can escape in this situation?" Not to mention that they are unarmed, even with weapons, they may not be able to survive in this unfamiliar desert, Sheng Bin The idea is too unrealistic.

But Su Shi next to him understood Sheng Bin's meaning: "Do you have any concerns?"

"Those people said that they have been locked up for eight days. According to the general international kidnapping, they will stay here for no more than ten days. We are probably the last batch of hostages." Sheng Bin's voice was suppressed when he said this. It was very low, basically only Di Ruizhong and Su Shi could hear it, and the faces of these two people became a little ugly after hearing it.

In other words, they definitely don't have eight days left...

These people will probably dispose of them directly if they don't have money.

Su Shi gritted his teeth: "The problem is that we don't even know where we are now..."

Don't say send a message to find someone to rescue, even if they can call now, they don't know exactly where it is.

Sheng Bin turned to look at Di Ruizhong: "About this, you should have a solution, right?"

The latter's face froze, and it took a long time before he sneered: "You might as well tell me first, where did you call from before?"

"You don't have to worry about that, I'll just ask if you can confirm where we are now."

"……Can."

Di Ruizhong gritted his teeth a bit in answer, but quickly regained his composure: "But you know very well how my affairs are handled here. If I really want to come forward, I can't guarantee the final result."

Compared with China, the most common practice in the United States is military rescue instead of paying ransom. At that time, no one can say that everyone will be safe and sound.

"Paying the ransom now won't save so many people." Sheng Bin glanced behind him, frowning.

It's not that he hasn't considered paying a ransom to solve it. The problem is that quite a few people here can't afford the astronomical amount of ransom, and there are too many follow-up problems to deal with.And through foreign policy, it seems a bit too late.

Therefore, at this time, military rescue may be the most reliable method.

But Su Shi didn't agree with this method: "It's too risky... There are children among the hostages. This group of people looks inhumane. If there is a gun battle, what should these people do?"

"So we'll wait for those who can afford the ransom to leave first."

Minimize possible damage.

Di Ruizhong looked at Sheng Bin's face, and after confirming that none of what he said was perfunctory, he shook his head in disbelief: "Sheng Bin, I really think you are a lunatic, and you still want to save people in this situation .”

It's good to be able to save yourself, and you still have time to worry about others.

Playing a hero is not this kind of show.

Sheng Bin glanced at him, and smiled with a subtle expression: "Actually, I thought you would rush to do this hero, but later I found out that you all just like to talk." So far, neither Sheng Bin nor Su Shi Really pursue it, but they are not without anger towards Di Ruizhong.

Di Ruizhong held back his words, but Sheng Bin gave Su Shi a hint with his eyes, then avoided the others, and carefully stabbed the man who had asked them for help before.

Before he begged them to pay the ransom, Su Shi and the others did not agree.

At this time, agreeing to this kind of request is actually no different from courting death. They can pay for two but they can't save so many people. If there is any accident in the middle, it will not be one or two people who die.

The man wasn't actually asleep, but he was a little semi-conscious because of his emotional tension. It took Su Shi a long time to wake him up. When he just came back to his senses, his face was covered in cold sweat from panic.

The two daughters beside him also woke up.

Sheng Bin lowered his voice as much as possible: "Which of these two girls is older."

"I'm my older sister." It was the girl herself who answered him. Compared to her father, the two girls were even calmer.The girl who claimed to be the older sister pulled the younger sister next to her: "Save my younger sister first."

Su Shi frowned and wanted to speak, but finally he endured it and went back.

It is impossible for him to judge the situation more accurately than Sheng Bin, and speaking rashly may cause trouble for everyone.Therefore, from the moment they were kidnapped to the present, Su-style words are rare.

Sheng Bin patted his sister's shoulder reassuringly, because her hands were still tied, so her posture was a bit strange: "Tomorrow if someone asks who is Sheng Bin, you should come out and admit it. After you are released, go directly to the embassy, ​​and there will be someone there take care of you."

Su Shi's expression changed: "Sheng Bin!"

The man didn't expect Sheng Bin to think of such a method, he stared at Su Shi and Sheng Bin in disbelief for a long time, and then burst into tears: "Benefactor! You are the great benefactor of our family, and I will not be an ox or a horse in my next life." Will forget about you!"

He cried louder and louder, and Sheng Bin directly covered his mouth with his face: "When you arrive at the embassy, ​​ask them to contact Jiang Qun from the Middle East Office, remember this name, and then tell him the situation here, and give him a sentence Words: Be safe."

What Sheng Bin said was to the girl. The latter nodded to show that he had remembered it, and then held his arm tightly. It took a long time before he whispered: "Thank you..."

"It's up to you to save your father and your sister, understand?"

He smiled encouragingly at the girls, then signaled them not to talk any more, and carefully backed away from Su Shi, widening the distance between them.

Su Shi didn't grab Sheng Bin until he was far enough away from the people behind him: "Don't you think it's more useful for you to go out than to let a little girl pass the message!?"

Is this the time to shine in style?Sheng Bin's approach is desperate!

Being dragged by him is very calm: "If you really need to rely on armed rescue in the end, there must be one person here to do things."

"Do things? What else can you do? You don't have communication equipment here, and it's impossible to communicate with the outside world. The shell doesn't have eyes, so you can make it turn inside?"

"Even so, someone is better than leaving behind a group of hostages who are about to collapse."

Sheng Bin lightly touched Su Shi's arm: "Di Ruizhong's ransom must be paid by someone. After the two of you go out, try to cooperate with Jiang Qun. This kind of kidnapping is very common in the Middle East. Jiang Qun should be very experienced." .”

"In that case, let the two sisters go together."

Su Shi smiled coldly: "Anyway, Di Ruizhong and Jiang Qun are more important than me, so there's nothing I can do when I go out."

"If you stay here, your identity will be exposed at any time. Don't forget, you have been on TV." Sheng Bin's voice was cold: "As long as these people know that we have people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this matter is not alone. It can be solved with money, and what this group of people will do is beyond your imagination!"

Su Shi's face froze and he was stunned.

It took him a long time before he let go of Sheng Bin, and sighed a little tiredly: "...Sheng Bin, you are a person who will never be motivated to thank you for doing things..."

Even if you have paid a lot, it must be accepted in an extremely uncomfortable way.Perhaps it was because of his difficult character that Su ye hadn't noticed Sheng Bin's feelings for so many years.

He had been watching from behind Su ye, but few people could see the softness in his eyes. He chose to help, but it also made people think that everything he did was out of comprehensive interests.

Su Shi felt that his back teeth were being bitten sour. He stared at Sheng Bin for a long time, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, pressed Sheng Bin on the stake behind him, and kissed him firmly.Or, more like biting.

——He didn't care whether he would be seen by others.

Sheng Bin didn't resist his sudden convulsions. Basically, it was rare to cooperate and was bitten by Su Shi for a long time. When the two people's lips were a little bloody, Su Shi raised his head and leaned against his ear in a low voice. Throwing down a sentence: "...Sheng Bin, remember, if something happens to you, I will pay Su Ye the debt."

The threatened man frowned: "You threatened me with your own brother?"

"Just this time..."

The emotion in Su Shi's eyes surged so much that even he himself didn't want to admit it. He held Sheng Bin's arm tightly, and there was an unconcealable fear on his face: "You must live, understand?"

For a moment, Sheng Bin was also stunned.

It may be because the Su-style emotional outburst is too direct, or it may be because he never thought that such an expression close to embarrassment would appear on the face of this man in front of him one day, so that for a few seconds, Sheng Bin suddenly My heart hurts a little.

He is not used to such a Soviet style.

His lips moved to speak, but in the end he chose to give up. In the tent full of oppression and despair, Su Shi and Sheng Bin just looked at each other in a daze, as if frozen.

Time always deliberately prolongs your suffering when you need it to go faster, and ruthlessly deprives you of your joy when you need it to slow down.

At dawn the next day, the guard outside the door came in and handed the phone to Su Shi.After Su Shi finished calling, the phone was given to Di Ruizhong, and then, the few people who were caught in the car with them at that time, after all the calls, the phone was broken again.

Near noon, these people came in again and dropped a few bottles of water and bread. This time Su Shi and Sheng Bin both grabbed a share, but Su Shi didn't move anything and threw it all to Sheng Bin: "I really want to keep Next, you should maintain your strength, I still have water left from yesterday."

Sheng Bin didn't refuse either, and ate the entire portion for two.

Then they closed their eyes quietly, trying to slow down their emotions.

Not long after, two men with guns opened the tent and walked in, shouting loudly: "Who is Bin?"

Sheng Bin looked back at the pair of sisters. Under the urging of her sister and father, the girl stood up tremblingly, and raised her hand in fear: "I..."

"what's your name?"

"Sheng Bin..." The girl was trembling all over, her pale face looked as if she might faint at any moment.

One of the men came over impatiently and grabbed her, and then dragged him out amidst the girl's scream, the roughness of his actions caused another panic in the tent.However, immediately after hearing the sound of a car starting, Su Shi glanced to the side. The man hugged his sister and cried into a ball, while Sheng Bin beside him remained expressionless.
