The world is bustling with activity.
Not everyone is sympathetic.
When Xia Wanqing opened her eyes, not only her body, but also her entire brain was groggy, and even her vision was a little blurry.
"Wanqing, Wanqing..."
A soft and exciting call came from my ears.
Gradually, the picture in front of me became clearer. The first thing that came into view was a handsome and concerned face.
For a woman, this situation is quite impactful.
"Mr. Luo."
After a brief moment of confusion, Xia Wanqing wanted to get up, but she was powerless and her bones seemed to be falling apart, refusing to obey her orders at all.
“Don’t move.”
Luo Peng stood by the bed and immediately asked with concern: "How do you feel now?"
How do you feel?
Xia Wanqing smiled weakly, "I feel lucky enough to be able to see Mr. Luo again."
Luo Peng couldn't help but be startled.
Didn’t cry.
There was no fuss.
The first words he said when he woke up were actually joking with himself.
All good-looking skins are the same.
This former Qinyuan courtesan is indeed different from most women.
“What time is it now?”
Xia Wanqing, who was extra calm, asked, realizing that she was currently in a hospital.
Luo Peng came to his senses.
"Eleven o'clock in the morning."
Immediately, he realized what the other party should want to ask, and added in a warm voice: "It is already the third day since you disappeared."
"Where did Mr. Luo find me?"
"Songchaban Port."
Although Luo Peng is better than Jiang, and he can easily talk and talk, but people are like a crowd. Yes, they can become good buddies. They have one thing in common, that is, they don’t like to put money in their own faces.
“It was the Chinese Embassy that commissioned the Xiang Kingdom’s military to rescue you.”
He said matter-of-factly.
"Port?"
Xia Wanqing was surprised, but at the same time she seemed to be enlightened.
Luo Peng nodded, and then laughed at himself: "If the embassy hadn't intervened in time, I might be in a mental hospital now."
Xia Wanqing, who was lying on the hospital bed, didn't know what to say. looked at him.
“Jiang Chen is right, it’s so damn dangerous abroad.”
Luo Peng, who experienced it firsthand, grinned.
Xia Wanqing also laughed.
Have to admit it.
Both of them are extraordinary and have very strong psychological qualities. They are still in the mood to joke at this time.
"You..."
Looking at Xia Wanqing, who had been missing for nearly two days, Luo Peng hesitated to speak.
Perhaps a certain tacit understanding has been developed, Xia Wanqing said slowly: "When I woke up, I was locked in a box."
"Box?"
"Well, it should be It’s a container for shipping.”
Xia Wanqing understood that she was rescued at the port.
“Have you seen the gangster who kidnapped you?”
Luo Peng asked in a solemn voice.
"I've seen it. But my face was covered so I couldn't see. I just gave us meals a few times."
Us.
Luo Peng's thinking did not slacken because the other party was successfully rescued. He was still sharp and quickly captured the key information in Xia Wanqing's words.
"You? You mean there is someone else besides you?"
"Well, there is a Korean woman imprisoned with me, and she was imprisoned there before me."
After a pause, Xia Wanqing looked at Luo Peng, "She didn't... "Rescued?"
Standing beside the bed, Luo Peng was silent, looking at the woman who didn't see much difference except for her haggard look.
"We only found you at Songchabang Port early this morning. At that time, you were unconscious outside the residential area of the permanent staff of the port. Apart from you, no one else was found."
Xia Wanqing, who was stunned more than once, calmed down.
"They didn't do anything to you, right?"
Luo Peng changed the topic.
"No."
Even though the doctor had already done an examination, Luo Peng finally settled down after hearing Xia Wanqing's personal response.
How many blessings there are in the world.
False alarm is one of them.
"The person who kidnapped you is an international criminal organization that specializes in kidnapping beautiful and high-quality women. You should have been targeted by them after you came to Xiang Country."
Luo Peng explained, Looking at the face that was weak and haggard, but not losing color.
The best beauty is like this.
Different states will present different styles.
"So, it's me who has caused Mr. Luo's trouble."
Xia Wanqing smiled bitterly.
Beauty is a kind of luck for a woman, but at the same time, it may also be a curse.
“You’re welcome.”
Mr. Luo smiled disapprovingly, “But next time you come out, you have to bring a bodyguard no matter what.”
Xia Wanqing's bitter smile turned into laughter.
"Dong dong dong..."
A knock on the door interrupted the two's "flirting".
"Please come in."
Luo Peng turned his head and saw the female diplomat who had helped him a lot this time come in.
"Miss Xia is awake."
Seeing Xia Wanqing waking up in the hospital bed, Officer Zhong, who was coordinating all forces in this foreign rescue operation without being humble or overbearing, showed a polite smile.
"This is Director Zhong Xiaoai, a diplomat from our Xiangguo Embassy. Thanks to Director Zhong's help this time, we were able to rescue you so quickly."
Luo Peng quickly introduced.
“Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for saving my life.”
Xia Wanqing's words were very strong, but she didn't seem to be exaggerating.
Although Luo Peng's explanation just now is relatively simple and general, it doesn't take any brain to figure out that if he falls into the hands of such an international criminal organization, even if he does not lose his life, the end will definitely not be optimistic.
“It is our duty to help overseas citizens.”
Nothing can be generalized.
No matter what industry you are in, rotten fish and shrimps are inevitable, and the same is true in officialdom.
Black sheep are inevitable, but equally, there are definitely people who are down-to-earth and dedicated to their duties. Director Zhong is obviously one of them. Apart from being relatively rigid, there is no bureaucracy at all.
“The doctor has conducted a comprehensive and detailed examination on Ms. It will subside, Miss Xia, don’t worry.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhong.”
Luo Peng thanked you.
Zhong Xiaoai looked at him, "Mr. Luo is the one who has done the hard work. He didn't rest all night last night. Now that Miss Xia is awake, Mr. Luo can go to sleep first."
Luo Peng smiled, not that he was shy, but he didn't expect this diplomat to be so "understanding".
Isn’t this obviously to help him say nice things in front of Xia Wanqing?
“I am still young and can bear it. When I was in China, I often worked continuously for a week, so it didn’t bother me.”
“Being young is not a waste of physical capital. If what Mr. Luo said is To be honest, you should go for a comprehensive physical examination."
Zhong Xiaoai's teasing made several people laugh.
It was obviously a serious matter, but the atmosphere was so relaxed.
"You two should be hungry, I'll go and buy some food. Miss Xia, have a good rest." After saying that, Zhong Xiaoai turned around and left.
Looking at her back, Luo Peng seemed to have thought of something, and said to Xia Wanqing: "I'll go out for a while, you take a rest first."
"Well .”
Luo Peng immediately chased after him.
"Mr. Zhong."
Zhong Xiaoai stopped when he heard the sound, turned around, and looked at Luo Peng who was driven out, "Mr. Luo, what can I do?"
Luo Peng closed the ward door and walked over.
“Have those people been caught?”
“The Xiangguo military is still investigating, because the scope of people and companies involved in the port is too large, and it may be very difficult to find out in a short time. Difficulty. "
Of course Luo Peng understands that when it comes to import and export trade, it means that not only domestic companies are involved, but also foreign companies. No one who can do cross-border business is easy to mess with. It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
It was a blessing to be able to find Xia Wanqing so quickly.
“After Wan Qing woke up, she said that she was locked in a container, not in a house, and there was a Korean woman locked with her.”
Luo Peng whispered.
The place where Xia Wanqing was found in the early morning was definitely not the "first scene".
She didn’t have wings, so there was absolutely no way she could run out on her own, and she was in a coma when she was found.
That is to say.
She was "abandoned" there.
But since she was not the only one imprisoned, why was the Korean woman not "abandoned" together?
Hearing that Xia Wanqing was not the only "victim", this female diplomat showed strong professional qualities, her face remained calm, and her calmness was amazing.
"I will convey this message to the Xiangguo military. Does Mr. Luo have anything else to do?"
Luo Peng stared at the other party silently, then shook his head.
“Someone will bring food later.”
“Secretary Zhong.”
When he was about to leave, Luo Peng stopped him again.
Facing the female diplomat’s gaze, Luo Peng looked calm and just asked one last question.
"Has the blockade of the port been lifted?"
Zhong Xiaoai pursed her lips and said "hmm".
"Half an hour after finding Miss Xia, the port was lifted from the blockade. Every minute wasted will cause huge economic losses."
Hearing this, Luo Peng nodded, No more words were said.
"Director Zhong, thank you very much this time. If you need anything when you return to China, just ask."
He made a phone call gesture.
"Mr. Luo will not continue traveling in Xiang Country?"
Luo Peng laughed dumbly.
The female diplomat stopped teasing.
"Mr. Luo, I look forward to seeing you next time."
She stretched out her hand.
Luo Peng stopped his smile, looked serious, and immediately reached out to shake hands with the other party.
"Da, da, da..."
The female diplomat turned and left, her footsteps making a clear sound on the floor of the corridor.
Luo Peng watched the other party's back gradually disappear, then leaned against the white wall, took out his mobile phone, and made a call.
"The person was rescued and he is not in any serious condition."
"It's good that the person is fine."
"You should have known this a long time ago."
< br>
Luo Peng smiled.
“Well, you didn’t sleep all night?”
Indeed.
Although Jiang Chen was not involved in the whole process, there is no doubt that Xia Wanqing was able to be rescued and was the real hero.
It is really relaxing to have such a good buddy.
"Why sleep for a long time while alive? You will sleep forever after death."
"You must have been frightened by the nightmare. Everyone has been rescued, but you are too courageous."
“It doesn’t hurt your back to stand and talk. If you encounter something like this, try it.”
Faced with Luo Peng’s retort, Jiang Chen just smiled.
The wonderful events he encountered were much more magnificent than Luo Peng's.
"You're still living too comfortably. It doesn't matter if you have more experience. You'll gain wisdom every time you go through it. You can't expect your life to be without some ups and downs."
"Why are these words like a curse on me? There's nothing nice to say." Luo Peng laughed.
"Good words are of no use, but loyal words are offensive, Mr. Luo."
"Fuck you."
After the joke, Luo Peng restrained his tone, "With you Tell me something."
"Xia Wanqing was so grateful that she wanted to give her life."
Luo Peng couldn't help being amused again, "Have you watched too many bloody dramas? She's a little girl?"
"It's a blessing and a misfortune. An episode like this might be better than a few months of traveling."
This is quite true.
Sometimes the warming of feelings does need to be catalyzed.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about my affairs."
Luo Peng said sternly: "Xia Wanqing said that there was a Korean woman imprisoned with her, which means that we found her in the early morning At that time, there was another victim imprisoned in a container at Songchaban Port. "
Luo Peng's wording was quite precise.
Discover.
Instead of finding.
“In such a large port, with tens of thousands of containers, it takes a lot of time and labor costs to find people one by one. And the approval procedures are also a problem.”
"I just talked with Director Zhong and the blockade of Songchaban Port has been lifted," Luo Peng said.
Jiang Chen over there was silent for a moment.
"Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo, you are not in school now, so you have to put away your broad mind of giving a home to the beauties in the world. Neither you nor I are God."
Luo Peng sighed, "Did I say anything? I was just chatting with you."
Of course he understands these truths even if they are explained to the other party.
Even the police are only responsible for the affairs of their own jurisdiction.
No one has the obligation to save all sentient beings, and no one has the ability.
It is not easy to be able to bless the people around you.
And.
After Xia Wanqing was rescued, the port was quickly lifted from the blockade. Now the unknown container may have been transported to an ocean-going cargo ship and disappeared into the sea.
Same encounter.
But it is a different result,
This is the difference of fate.
"You have this time, why not spend more time with Xia Wanqing. She is indeed not a little girl, but she is still a woman after all. She is at her most vulnerable now. Don't blame me for not warning you. Don’t lose time and never come again.”
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense with you and treat me to a drink when I come back." Luo Peng said.
“I still have to treat you?”
“You can’t comfort us?”
Jiang Chen smiled.
“Hang up.”
Mr. Luo didn’t give his boss any face, he just hung up. He put down his phone and leaned against the wall, not because of the Korean woman he had never met before. He felt sad, he was never a Holy Mother, but he was quite sad about the changes in his good friend.
In the past, he just thought that Jiang Chen was thick-skinned, had a good attitude, was always positive and optimistic, and was always full of love for life no matter how many injustices of fate he encountered.
But now, just now, he suddenly discovered that in the constant fight with this fucked world, Jiang Chen was making silent progress at a very fast speed.
That’s right.
People just have to be "selfish".
Luo Peng smiled happily and felt more and more at ease working for such a boss. Then he put away his phone, stood up straight, and walked back to his room. (End of this chapter)
