Chapter 480 Met the two responsible persons
The night is deep and time flies by with the turning of the hands.
Soon, it was already past four in the morning. Many people were sleepy, and the pace of patrols slowed down a lot.
Zhuang Liya changed her voice and called out to the other patrol officers nearby with a hoarse and unpleasant duck voice, pointing to a hidden corner nearby.
"If you feel sleepy, go and take a nap there. Leave the rest to the three of us. When you've had enough sleep, it's our turn."
When the patrolmen heard this, they thought it made sense. Several of them went into the secret place, held their guns, sat on the ground, and slept leaning against each other.
At this time, people are very tired and can almost fall asleep as soon as they sit down.
Seeing this situation, Zhuang Liya was amused and gestured to Lu Jingheng, asking him to quickly go to the place where the Chinese were detained to find someone.
She and Bai Yangfan were on guard outside.
Lu Jingheng understood immediately, and then while no one was paying attention, he sneaked into a very dark corner where even the searchlight could not reach, took the three bodies out of the space, and threw them aside.
In order to avoid being discovered, they covered it with some debris. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't know there was a body there.
He turned around and went into the large shed where the Chinese were detained.
There was no light inside, but the light from the searchlight outside would stream in, making it dim and barely visible.
There were many people lying on the floor, including Chinese and, it seemed, locals.
I guess they were working on the construction site and were being watched together.
Women and children lay on one side, and strong men lay on the other.
The smell in the shed was terrible and stinky. It was because the weather was hot, the shed was not well ventilated, and there was also the smell of children's urine.
The air is polluted by the smell of sweat, feet, and some rotten smells, which is really unbearable.
As soon as you enter, you will feel like vomiting and have to cover your mouth and nose.
Lowering his voice, Lu Jingheng walked over to the man's side: "Everyone, wake up, wake up, Engineer Li! Engineer Xie! Where are you?"
As soon as he asked this question, two people stood up. Although he couldn't see their faces clearly, he could see the outlines of their bodies.
He was a big and strong man, about 1.7 meters tall, weighing at least 130 to 140 kilograms, in his forties, with dark skin like the locals.
Lu Jingheng had seen his full-length photo and knew that this man was Li Shengtian, the chief engineering designer here.
The other one is taller, about 1.80 meters, and weighs about 100 kilograms. He is older and has a slight hunchback. His name is Xie Dacheng, and he is the general manager here.
These two are the people he wants to take away.
Seeing people here, Lu Jingheng breathed a sigh of relief. He walked through the crowd that was getting up and looking at him, and came to the two persons in charge.
"Hello! My name is Lu Jingheng, and I've been ordered to take you back to your country. Please follow me."
If ordinary people heard that the country had sent people to take them back, they would basically cry with joy.
But the expressions on their faces were very confused. They glanced at the people behind them, and then looked at Lu Jingheng. Li Shengtian asked first: "The country sent you to take Lao Xie and me back? What about my workers?"
There was a question in Xie Dacheng's eyes, and he wanted to hear Lu Jingheng's answer.
"The order I received is to take you two back first. The rest is the business of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." This was the definite words the old man gave him. At this time, he had to make it clear first, so as not to disappoint his compatriots.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Dacheng nodded in understanding: "We know that the country cares about us, but we can't go back with you. We have invested more than ten billion here, and we haven't even mined a bit of energy.
If we leave, these dozen people will be wasted. We must stick to our posts and not let the hard-earned money of the working people be wasted here and turned into a pile of scrap metal."
Li Shengtian lowered his head and sighed heavily. "We spent three years setting up the construction site here and preparing for mining, but before we were even ready, it was interrupted. How can I face the people when I go back? How can I face my leaders? How can I face my family?"
The damned rebels are like mad dogs, biting whoever they catch. Our country paid rent for this land. Logically, they shouldn't treat us this way, but they refuse to listen and even try to use our technology and people to seize and control the mining rights here.
Fortunately, all our men are very brave and we will not let them succeed. No matter how much we threaten or bribe them, no one will agree. Damn it! I wish I could rush out and kill them."
Lu Jingheng understood the two leaders' hatred for the rebels, but he couldn't fight against them with a shovel at the moment. He could only judge the situation and not argue with those people.
Lu Jingheng's mission is to take both of them away. The remaining countries will find other ways to rescue them. He can only comfort them first.
"I understand your feelings, but the situation here is unstable right now. As the old saying goes, if you have green mountains, you won't have to worry about firewood. We'll withdraw our people first, and take the most important equipment with us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Dacheng began to shake his head: "It's not that easy to take them away. We have over 200 employees alone, and there are rebels guarding outside. It's not easy to leave."
Looking at the various heavy equipment outside, Li Shengtian smiled bitterly: "In order to get these big guys here, we mobilized our most advanced forces.
"If we want to take them away now, there's no way the rebels will agree. It's all money for them, money that goes to waste. Even their country wouldn't be able to produce such equipment in another 30 years."
Knowing that the two responsible persons had misunderstood his meaning, Lu Jingheng explained again: "I don't mean to transport all the equipment away, but to take away the most important and core components.
Even if the rebels get hold of this equipment, they don’t have the core components and can’t make it work.”
"That's huge, too big for just one or two people to handle." Li Shengtian shook his head in annoyance. "We can't even take our employees out, so how can we take those parts with us?"
"I have a way." Lu Jingheng glanced at everyone, "As long as you put together everything you want to take away, I will find a way to take them all away."
Upon hearing this, the two responsible persons' eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again.
Xie Dacheng: "Even if you have a way, we can't do it. The equipment is in the warehouse over there, and all the core and non-core equipment are piled together. Only professionals can find out. But we are currently trapped in this shed and there is no way to leave."
Lu Jingheng comforted Xie Dacheng: "Don't worry, who is most familiar with the equipment? I will take him over immediately to pick out the core components and take them away. We must move quickly and get all the people and equipment out before dawn."
Everyone: "..." Is this guy crazy? Two or three hundred people want to leave before dawn, how is that possible?
Did the country send a fool to fool them?
