african diary

Ted returned home after finishing his company affairs in a hurry, and saw that Xiao Hang had disappeared even with his car.Using his toes to figure out where he went, he looked at the time on his watch - 5 pm.Very well, the first thing is that he still feels a little unwell, and the second thing is that he has been warned not to drive and completely ignores it. Xiao Hang has already challenged his bottom line.

Quickly taking out the gun in the dark drawer, Ted drove another car and went out.While driving, he dialed Xiao Hang's phone——

"I'm going to Niamey soon. I'm really worried. I have to come and have a look. I'll live in the Chinese embassy. There's no danger." Knowing that Ted must be very angry, Xiao Hang hurriedly reported the situation as soon as he got on the phone. Reported.

"I'm going to Niamey soon? Not only did you drive out so damn fast, but you drove so fast!" Ted yelled, "Xiao Hang, have you ever thought about discussing with me before doing things!"

After being silent for a while, Xiao Hang said: "What about you? Have you discussed with me? You already know about the situation in Niger, right? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"If I told you, you would definitely tell the people in your company to evacuate early."

"What's wrong with that? After all, they are people who share my troubles."

"Xiao Hang, have you thought about my position? The Ouattara family is a businessman, we should not get too involved in politics. It is my selfishness to protect your safety, but if it is necessary to tell your company to evacuate, China The embassy will do it, and it should not be me."

"..." Ted was right, he was too impulsive, "I'm sorry," Xiao Hang said gruffly.

"Hang," Ted eased his tone, this is the first time he called Xiao Hang so intimately: "Don't ever say sorry to me, I have no other request, the only request is that you think before doing everything Treat yourself, okay?"

Xiao Hang couldn't help being moved when such an arrogant person asked himself in such a humble tone: "I see, I must discuss it with you next time."

"When you arrive in Niamey, don't act rashly, wait for me to come." Since the car was also driving, and Xiao Hang couldn't be allowed to wait for him where he was, Ted took a step back.

The coup d'état stemmed from President Tandja's revision of the constitution for the re-election of the president last year. In fact, Colonel Gukoi Abdul Karim, the military spokesman for the coup d'état, announced the cancellation of the curfew this afternoon. Re-opened at 4:[-].According to the Chinese embassy, ​​no Chinese people were affected, but Tang Xi still couldn't get through on the phone, and she didn't go to the embassy to gather.

"Could she be trapped somewhere because of the previous curfew?" Xiao Hang immediately denied his thoughts after speaking. It has been a few hours since the curfew was lifted, so he should come back anyway.

"It shouldn't be. Could it be..." Manager Xu paused, "I was accidentally injured."

"It's better not to guess. Let's find it separately."

"I'll look for it tomorrow. Although the order has basically been restored today, it's still not suitable to wander around at night."

What Manager Xu said was quite reasonable, so Xiao Hang had no choice but to agree.

Before dawn, Ted felt Niamey. Seeing his reddened eyes, Xiao Hang felt very sorry, alas, it seemed that he was really unlucky, always making trouble for Ted .

"According to the information from my people, there are indeed no Chinese people injured in the conflict." Ted told the information straight to the point.

I don't know what the relationship between Ted and Xiao Hang is. Although Manager Xu has some doubts in his heart, he also knows that now is not the time to study this.

"Why don't we split up and look for it first." Manager Xu suggested.

"Okay, you go south, let's go north, and we will meet at noon." Xiao Hang readily agreed, and immediately got into Ted's car and set off with him.

Manager Xu touched his nose and set off.This kid, just a few days out of his management, began to assign work to himself.

Ted and Xiao Hang searched all the main roads and alleys in the north, and asked the shopkeepers along the way, but no one had seen Tang Xi.Niamey is only that big, and it seems that it will return in vain.Xiao Hang tried to dial Tang Xi's number again, but he didn't expect—this time he got through.

"Where are you? Are you okay?"

"I..." Tang Xi seemed a little hesitant, "There was a conflict that day, and I was accidentally injured, and I couldn't move my leg."

"What injury? It's not serious, is it?"

"It's okay...it's just that I fell...I fell on my leg."

"Then why doesn't your phone work?"

"That," Tang Xi paused, and then said, "The phone is out of battery, I'm borrowing someone else's phone to use it now."

"Tell me where you are now."

Tang Xi mentioned a place, Xiao Hang told him that he would go there immediately and hung up the phone.

"I think Tang Xi's tone of speech is not like usual, it seems flustered."

"It's just a little girl, didn't she freak out when she saw the real guns?" A little girl who wanted to rob him of their family, Xiao Hang, Ted had never had much affection for Tang Xi, but such a role, He can't be jealous either.

"It's not like, it seems... there is something hidden."

"Then what should we do? Let Manager Xu know."

"Don't rush to inform him, let's go and have a look." Xiao Hang wanted to go over and investigate carefully. If there is nothing serious, there is no need for Manager Xu to come over. If there is indeed something hidden, it would be dangerous for one more person to come over.

Arriving at the place Tang Xi mentioned, what greeted his eyes was an abandoned warehouse. In such a remote place, Tang Xi had nothing to do here. At this time, Xiao Hang didn't find anything wrong because he was too slow.

"Go back first, find some people to talk about." Xiao Hang said hastily.

"It's too late." Ted watched coldly the two black men rushing towards them from the debris pile next to the warehouse. They had obviously been lying here for a long time, and... they still had guns in their hands.

"Go quickly and find rescuers." Ted said to Xiao Hang.

"No, I can't leave you alone."

"I brought a gun, so I have no problem dealing with these two people. You can't help me, but staying here will become a burden."

Although he knew that Ted's words were just to force him to leave, but he was not good at fighting, and he didn't know how to use a gun, so staying would only be a disservice.

"Be careful," Xiao Hang gritted his teeth, turned around and ran away, "For me."

That's natural, the happy days have just begun.Ted smiled, turned his head and shot one of the men who rushed up.

The sudden attack angered another black man. He raised his gun and was about to retaliate against Ted, but Ted was not easy to mess with, so he pointed his gun at him.

Just at this moment of tension, the door of the warehouse opened, and a black man in his forties walked out under the protection of several bodyguards with guns.

"Tedwatara, you don't have to do anything to my people as soon as you meet."

Ted narrowed his eyes and looked, this person should be called...Galatier, right?He has met a few times. He used to be considered a well-known wealthy businessman in Central Africa. I heard that he was also doing some shady business such as smuggling and drug trafficking in private. Now it seems true, otherwise how could he hide so many arms? .Over the past few years, the Ouattara family has had many business conflicts in Central Africa and Galatiye. Many of the original mines and oil industries in Galatiye have been bought by the Ouattara family strategically and at a low price.It seems that the purpose of this person is himself, and it was right to let Xiao Hang go first just now.

"The way your men entertain people doesn't look very friendly."

"Haha," Galatier smiled hypocritically: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Ouattara for helping me teach my subordinates."

"Stop talking nonsense, what do you want to do?" Ted didn't want to waste time here.

"I just want to invite you to my place as a guest."

"A guest?" Ted raised his eyebrows playfully, "I didn't know that Master Galatier was so destitute that he needed to live in an abandoned warehouse."

Ted's words obviously irritated Galatier, and he changed his face all of a sudden: "You don't have to drink a toast, it seems that you can't be too polite to the Ouattara family, and tie me up!"

Galatier gave an order, and a group of bodyguards with guns rushed up to Ted. After weighing the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves and the possibility of his successful escape, Ted simply surrendered his gun and gave up resistance.A group of people tied Ted tightly and threw him into the warehouse.

"Let me see if you, young master, still have the capital to be arrogant." Galatier looked at the tied-up Ted, quite satisfied.

"You don't have to tie me up so tightly," Ted said with a calm expression, "Don't tell me you have so many subordinates with guns, why are you afraid that I'm an unarmed man?"

"Hmph, I've learned more than once how slippery the Ouattara family is." It seems that Galatier is not interested in aggressive tactics.

Glancing at Tang Xi who was sleeping next to him, Ted said, "Do you think you can threaten me with such a woman? Or you can threaten the Ouattara family if you tie me up?"

"This woman can't threaten you, but she can threaten your little lover, can't she? Whether she can threaten the Ouattara family depends on how you cooperate." It seems that Galatier has a thorough understanding of his situation.

"I didn't sleep yesterday and I'm tired now."

"Okay, you take your time to rest." Knowing that Ted was planning to delay the attack, Galatier left without hesitation, with him in his hands, forgive him for not being able to play any tricks.
