Seeing that there wasn't a single car or person on the entire road, Zhao Youde immediately became alert.
He took the walkie-talkie and ordered, "Everyone, stay alert and don't get out of the car. Something's not right."
The security personnel in the two cars behind immediately checked the surrounding environment and drew their weapons to deal with any potential risks.
A moment later, Chen Ze took the walkie-talkie and ordered, "All vehicles turn around and take another route."
Upon receiving the notification, the three vehicles began to turn around.
The black men in the roadside bushes became anxious, and a leader immediately made a decision: "Everyone, go out and stop them. Don't let them turn around and run away."
Many of his underlings stood up, grabbed their guns, and rushed out, blocking Chen Ze's escape route.
Chen Ze, who was in the car, glanced at the group of robbers and roughly estimated that there were more than twenty of them. They were all carrying weapons, including pistols, AK47s, and shotguns, all of which were light weapons.
Unexpectedly, the other party committed robbery in broad daylight. Chen Ze immediately called the mayor of Wutian Town for help, even though Chen Ze's men also had weapons.
However, in other countries, once the two sides start fighting, there will inevitably be casualties. As a foreigner, if you kill a local without a legitimate reason, you may face unnecessary trouble if the other side retaliates.
As soon as the call connected, Chen Ze anxiously shouted, "Mayor, something bad has happened! I encountered a group of armed robbers on my way to Mora City. Please send someone over for backup."
The voice of the town mayor of Watian came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Chen, where are you right now? I'll bring people over to rescue you right away. Keep them calm for now."
"I'm in a large banana plantation area about three kilometers from Wutian Town," Chen Ze said.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I understand. We'll be right there."
Chen Ze hung up the phone and then heard gunshots outside.
The gang leader, holding a rifle, shouted at the front of the vehicle, "Everyone get out! We only want money. If you don't get out, I'm going to shoot!"
After saying that, he fired two shots into the air, as if to say: What I have in my hand is the real deal.
However, the people in the car showed no intention of getting off and continued to film them with cameras.
This infuriated the gang leader; it was practically a provocation.
The leader raised his hand and shouted, "Everyone, open fire! Kill or die!"
After speaking
"Bang, bang, bang..."
A burst of gunfire rang out.
Bullets whizzed past the three vehicles, making "bang bang bang" sounds.
"fight back!"
Chen Ze gave the order.
Upon hearing the gunshots, the security personnel reacted swiftly. Without hesitation, they opened a small hole in the armored vehicle, extended their gun barrels, and opened fire on the robbers.
In an instant, the gunshots were deafening. Those who knew the truth would think it was a robbery, while those who didn't would think it was another civil war about to break out.
The robbers clearly hadn't expected the people in the car to retaliate so decisively, and their offensive momentum was slightly hampered.
However, the robbers were not intimidated. Relying on their numerical advantage, they quickly reorganized their powerful firepower and launched a fierce attack on the armored vehicles.
Bullets rained down around the vehicle, sparks flying, but surprisingly, the armored vehicle remained completely unharmed.
In contrast, the situation for the robbers was not so optimistic.
Some of the robbers were already injured and lying on the ground, groaning in pain; others, although not seriously injured, were also howling and rolling on the ground, clearly suffering from serious injuries.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the black robber made a quick decision and led the other robbers to retreat into the roadside bushes, using the bushes as cover to launch a counterattack.
Gunfire erupted in quick succession, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
At this tense moment, Chen Ze remained exceptionally calm and composed.
He directed operations from his armored Red Flag vehicle, calmly observing the battlefield situation and decisively instructing security personnel to adjust their firing angles to better counter the robbers' attacks.
Just as the two sides were deadlocked, a series of sirens suddenly sounded in the distance.
The sound grew clearer and clearer as it approached, clearly indicating that Mayor Wutian had led the police to the scene in time.
Hearing the police sirens, the robbers panicked. Seeing the police cars getting closer, the leader knew the situation was hopeless. He made a decisive move, waving his hand and shouting, "Retreat!"
At his command, the group of robbers, like startled birds, abandoned three or four of their wounded companions and ran wildly into the depths of the banana grove without looking back, disappearing into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.
The town mayor, accompanied by more than thirty police officers, finally appeared slowly at the scene amidst the eager anticipation of the crowd.
A group of uniformed police officers filed out of the car and quickly and professionally tied up the seriously injured robbers who were lying on the ground, then threw them into the police car like sacks.
The mayor looked around at the bullet casings scattered on the ground, his brow furrowed, and he thought to himself: This incident is really troublesome! Holding a pistol, he walked steadily to Chen Ze's car and gently knocked on the window.
The car window slowly rolled down, and Chen Ze, with a smile, handed the camera in his hand to the town mayor. "Mayor, this is video evidence of the robbery. I'll trouble you to handle the follow-up. I have some urgent business to attend to in the city."
Mayor Wutian hurriedly took the camera and said apologetically, "Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry to have startled you! Don't worry, we will definitely punish these lawbreakers severely."
Chen Ze smiled and nodded: "Thank you for coming to our rescue in time, Mayor. Otherwise, our convoy would have been in big trouble. This is just a small token of our appreciation; please have some tea with the brothers." As he spoke, he handed the mayor a thousand US dollars.
The town mayor took the money.
He seemed dissatisfied with the result. He sighed and said regretfully, "What a pity. Those bandits were too cunning. They actually escaped into the forest. If they had been a step slower, I could have wiped them all out."
Upon hearing this
Chen Ze's face twitched; he couldn't be bothered to look at the town mayor's boastful expression.
I thought to myself, if your local police were really that capable, would Mekong be in such a chaotic state now?
After exchanging a few polite words with the mayor, the convoy continued its journey to Mora.
After that, everything was relatively peaceful.
The convoy traveled for more than two hours before arriving near the Mora City Cultural Center Square.
Chen Ze got out of the car and took out his phone to call his secretary.
"Hey, Secretary Shen, where are you?"
On the other end of the phone, "Boss, Lisa and I are at this DIO café near the square."
Chen Ze looked around and finally found the coffee shop. He then arrived at the coffee shop with a group of bodyguards.
The others waited outside the coffee shop, but Zhao Youde followed him inside.
He sat down next to Chen Xiyu and sized up the black girl named Lisa.
Similarly, Lisa was also looking him up and down, and she was surprised that Shen Xiyu's boss was so young and handsome.
She politely extended her hand. "Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Lisa, I'm a native of Mora, and I currently live in the capital, Yaoundé."
