As soon as he left the box, he called Xie Qing and demanded her to withdraw all the people in Country H immediately, without any extra explanation.

Xie Qing was silent for a moment, "I was looking for you, Cheng Qi and the others are probably trapped in the area occupied by the rebels, and it is very difficult to contact them now."

Lu Henglin didn't have time to think about anything, he turned his head and stopped Mu Zhenghai who was about to leave.

"President Lu?" Mu Zhenghai smiled playfully.

"Since Mr. Mu has close contacts with politicians, is there any way to help our people withdraw?" Lu Henglin asked straightforwardly, not caring to hide his eagerness.

"There may be a solution, but it also requires conditions." Mu Zhenghai smiled.

"No matter what the conditions are, just open your mouth."

"Where are your people?"

Lu Henglin reported the name of the area where he was located, and in return Mu Zhenghai frowned.

"This is the rebel-occupied area. If you want people from the government to rescue them, I'm afraid you need—"

"Money is not a problem. No matter how much it is, as long as you open your mouth, it will be credited within 24 hours." Lu Henglin looked resolute. Although he was upset, he forced himself to calm down. Only if he acted quickly enough could Xiao Qi be saved. .

"Political dignitaries can't be used at will, what will Mr. Lu offer in exchange?" Mu Zhenghai saw through Lu Henglin's eagerness, and bargained ferociously.

"You can mention it as you like."

Mu Zhenghai pondered for a moment, "The market in Country H is about to fall. I heard that your group has also developed a lot of infrastructure projects in Country S. How about sharing half of it with us?"

Lu Henglin reacted instantly, that was the first market to be expanded by the overseas project department, and it was also the country where Xiaoqi and the others were almost in danger when they encountered a tornado. Xiaoqi had put in too much effort and sweat, so he instinctively refused, "Not in country S."

Mu Zhenghai seemed to have expected it a long time ago, "Just now you said that no matter what the conditions are, the matter of saving lives cannot be delayed."

"Is country X okay? I will give you half of the share." Lu Henglin replied calmly and quickly. Country X is a market under his jurisdiction. It is one of the earliest markets that Xingyuan once opened up. It is not under Xie Qing's jurisdiction. European countries , compared with country S, the conditions are much better, "Mature development, superior conditions, as long as you can safely rescue people, I will give you an extra gift."

Mu Zhenghai raised his eyebrows, "This is much more generous than what I offered, has Mr. Lu thought it through clearly? I have to be a little skeptical about such an uneconomical move."

"My promise, Mr. Mu, can rest assured that I will draw up the contract as soon as I go back." Lu Henglin said firmly.

Mu Zhenghai was overjoyed, "Since this is the case, it just so happens that I hired a group of people to save people there. With double guarantees, I can definitely help you save people."

"Among these people is Xia Chengqi, the manager of our overseas project department. Please save him first, and protect him at all costs." Lu Henglin solemnly asked.

"Okay, I believe in Mr. Lu's character, then I will arrange to save people first."

Ever since he knew that Xiao Qi was trapped in country H, Lu Henglin felt that every second was extremely tormented. He kept trying to get in touch with him while trying to get in touch with him as much as possible.

From that day on, he began to suffer from insomnia. As long as he closed his eyes, he would feel panicked. He would always wake up from similar nightmares. When Xiao Qi went out, his back was shaking. It was snowing outside, and he disappeared in the In a piece of white.

All efforts have come to naught, and rescue in a foreign country is not an easy task, only Mu Zhenghai's relationship can be counted on.He arranged for Yan Siqi to mobilize a huge sum of money, ready to pay the rescuers at any time.

As expected, Mu Zhenghai had a deep foundation in country H, so he replied within 48 hours that people could rescue him, and he would arrange a flight back to China, and he was informed of the landing city.

Lu Henglin hastily arranged the company's affairs, and immediately went to the landing city alone. Even though it was useless, he couldn't bear to wait in the same place anxiously.

Xie Qing is also using all his connections to find a solution. This is the first time they have calmed down and communicated and cooperated in so many years. After receiving a positive reply from the H country government, he immediately told Xie Qing the news.

Like him, Xie Qing immediately flew to the city where Xiao Qi would land after being rescued.

Lu Henglin didn't dare to sleep the whole time on the plane, as soon as he closed his eyes, all kinds of worrying thoughts would pop up one after another.

To his surprise, Xie Qing, who arrived first, came to pick him up at the airport.They rarely met each other in these years, and it was the first time he realized that Xie Qing was old, he seemed to be haggard because of worry, and a little relief appeared in his eyes the moment he saw him.

Before he could speak, the phone rang. At an unusual time, his heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand. Every call from Mu Zhenghai these days was a torture for him.

He was looking forward to the news from country H, and was deeply afraid of bad news.

"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry."

When Lu Henglin heard this deep sentence, his eyes went dark, as if someone had hit him hard from the back of the head, and he was stunned.

"The rescue didn't go well. Manager Xia of your group was shot, and the location was very bad. The mercenaries rescued him with my orders. Now emergency treatment measures have been taken, but country H has limited conditions and is preparing to return home now. Please You contact the hospital immediately and get ready."

The hand that held his heart finally squeezed everything into pieces, dripping with blood.

"Okay." Lu Henglin replied blankly.

"I'm extremely sorry, I have failed what I entrusted." With his life in hand, Mu Zhenghai's tone was also low.

Lu Henglin could no longer speak.

He had just walked out of the VIP passage, and outside the airport there was a kind of noise unique to public places, the sounds of people and cars mixed together, the dreary weather had a faint smell of rain, every detail of these details was clear, but together they only felt blurred .

He couldn't even see the road in front of him clearly. He tried to press the button while holding the phone, but he couldn't do it tremblingly.

"Heng Lin, what's wrong?" Xie Qing walked over and looked at him worriedly.

"Xiaoqi was shot..." Lu Henglin replied in a daze, and when he said this, he finally felt a little bit, and overwhelming regret poured out from the bottom of his heart. He pressed his side tightly, and the pain was so painful Feeling like throwing up.

Xie Qing's face turned pale in an instant, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Henglin felt that he had collapsed, but he had to hold on to make preparations for Xiaoqi to contact the hospital and arrange for experts.

He contacted the best hospital as quickly as possible, asked Yan Siqi to transfer a sum of money directly to the hospital, contacted the expert who could arrive as soon as possible, sat down and got ready, and after finishing all this and waiting for Xiaoqi's plane to land, he Didn't even dare to sit still for a moment.

At this moment, he hasn't rested for a long time, and his throat is full of bloody smell, but he can only stare blankly at the sky outside the French window, praying in his heart over and over again that Xiao Qi will be safe.

If Xiaoqi can survive, he is willing to exchange everything he has.

When the plane arrived, Lu Henglin was the first to run up after being lifted off the stretcher, but the nurse stopped him directly, "The patient's condition is urgent, please understand, don't delay the rescue."

The medical staff were well-trained. After taking over Xia Chengqi who was lying on the stretcher, he was carried directly into the ambulance. The ECG monitoring and ventilator were connected as quickly as possible. Lu Henglin could only stand on the periphery and work hard to maintain what little he had left. calm.

He saw Xiao Qi's eyes closed tightly, his face pale and deep in sleep, the thin quilt covered him, but it couldn't cover his blood-stained clothes, the blood dried up, and it was a shocking crimson.

He stared at Xiao Qi closely for a moment, fearing that this would be the last time they would see each other, but his vision was still gradually blurred.

The feeling of losing a loved one was clearer than ever.

When the lights in the operating room came on, Lu Henglin stood in the corridor of the hospital, his body was slumped, his eyes were red, he was so haggard that he didn't have a trace of expression, he could only rely on a little willpower to hold on and wait outside the door.

"Heng Lin, don't worry, Xiao Qi will be fine." Xie Qing walked up to him, his voice was dry, but unexpectedly firm.

"It's all my fault." Lu Henglin's voice was full of depression.

Xie Qing sat beside him, looking ahead, and said in silence for a long time, "It's me, what have you been arguing about all this time, just give in, it's just hurting him."

Lu Henglin buried his face in his palms slumpedly, his eye sockets were extremely painful, but he didn't dare to cry. If he cried now, it would be an ominous omen for him.

The operation lasted ten hours, and Lu Henglin and Xie Qing just sat outside the door and waited silently, neither of them had the desire to speak anymore.

When the lights in the operating room went out, Lu Henglin felt that he didn't even have the strength to stand up, and his whole body was trapped in a strange feeling of his soul leaving his body, in a trance, everything was so unreal.

The chief surgeon came out, his lips trembled, but he couldn't ask any questions. Xie Qing, who was next to him, tried his best to calmly speak, "Doctor, how is the situation?"

"The operation was successful, and the patient was temporarily out of danger, but the condition is serious, so he needs to be under intensive observation for a period of time, and now he is temporarily unable to visit, and the person is still in a coma, so visits are meaningless. You go to rest first, and wait for the notice."

Lu Henglin slumped on his seat for a long time without moving, then buried his head deeply in his knees and wept silently.

"Heng Lin, go and have a rest, I think your complexion is too ugly." Xie Qing waited quietly until he had finished crying enough to calm down before persuading him in a low voice.

Lu Henglin shook his head slightly, "I'll stay with him here, you go and rest first."

Xie Qing just sighed.

Lu Henglin sat in the corridor outside the ICU, hoping to get closer to Xia Chengqi.This was the closest they had gotten to each other in these years, and no one could have imagined that the reunion he had been looking forward to for so long would be so cruel.

In the middle of the night, Lu Henglin passed out in the corridor outside the CU, and was sent to the ward for infusion by passing medical staff, only to find that he had a high fever and was slightly dehydrated.
