Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 384 You are a smart person, you should know what to do!
Leng Feng glanced at the rebel soldier with some surprise and said casually, "He's dead."

Hearing this, the rebel officer was visibly relieved.

Leng Feng turned his head to look at Li Guotao and asked in Chinese: "Who is this guy?"

Li Guotao replied: "Colonel Morris! The leader of this group of rebels!"

Leng Feng suddenly realized. No wonder Li Guotao said that the situation was under control. It turned out that Colonel Morris was captured.

Leng Feng exclaimed: "What a great move! Capture the leader first!"

"Hehe~!"

Li Guotao chuckled and said, "It's a piece of cake!"

It turned out that when the rebels started to set fire and evacuate, Li Guotao secretly mixed in with the rebels and evacuated the village with them.

Li Guotao took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the rebel team and quietly approached Colonel Morris. He also helped him get rid of the four mercenaries sent by "Dad" to monitor Colonel Morris, and then kidnapped Colonel Morris.

With Colonel Morris in hand, the rebel soldiers naturally did not dare to act rashly.

So Li Guotao took Colonel Morris hostage and got into the car, and used a loudspeaker to notify Leng Feng in the village to evacuate quickly.

Li Guotao also predicted that Leng Feng would not let go of this last opportunity and would definitely kill "Dad".

But after killing 'Dad', if they want to evacuate safely, they must break out. There are hundreds of rebel soldiers around, and it is not so easy to break out.

If Leng Feng was injured in the battle with 'Dad', it would be even more impossible to retreat safely.

That's why Li Guotao got out early and left all the chances of revenge to Leng Feng himself. Li Guotao also estimated that Leng Feng didn't want his help. After all, such a great revenge could only be avenged by himself.

Leng Feng said to Li Guotao: "Thank you very much!"

Li Guotao smiled and said, "You're so polite again!"

Colonel Morris drove the car and quickly passed through the rebel blockade. With Colonel Morris's order, the rebels naturally did not dare to intercept him.

Leng Feng glanced at the situation outside and said, "What should we do next?"

Li Guotao smiled and looked at Colonel Morris who was driving next to him, and said, "It depends on what choice our Colonel Morris makes."

Li Guotao said this in English, intentionally for Colonel Morris to hear.

When Colonel Morris heard this, he panicked and said quickly, "Don't get me wrong. This was all forced upon me by the 'old man'."

"You should know that this guy is ruthless and cruel. He even killed General Odu."

"I was forced to obey him. I really didn't mean to be your enemy."

"In fact, General Odu doesn't want to be your enemy. Even if he wants to arrest Dr. Chen, he would only do it secretly and would never dare to kidnap him openly."

"And we are looking for Dr. Chen in the hope of getting medicine to treat Ramala. We have no ill intentions. It was those mercenaries who acted on their own initiative."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "We are all smart people. You don't need to explain this to me. You just need to tell me what you will do next."

"Will you continue to attack our factory? I can also tell you clearly that Dr. Chen is in the factory."

"No no no~!"

Colonel Morris shook his head like a rattle and said, "You killed 'Dad' and almost all the mercenaries are dead. Now I can control the situation. As long as you don't kill me, I will never attack the factory."

"Your embassy has also lodged a strong protest with us. We no longer have the courage to continue the attack. After all, we cannot afford to offend your country."

"Now that the madman 'Dad' is dead, all the troubles are solved."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "It seems that you also hope to use our help to kill 'Dad' and his mercenaries?"

Colonel Morris said confidently: "Of course, do I want to be a puppet without dignity?"

Li Guotao smiled and said, "It seems that you are indeed a smart person."

"It's much easier to talk to smart people."

"We can let you go, but you have to make sure we can reach the port safely."

"We are travelling from the factory to the port of Sansarem, and this section of the route may pass through the war zone."

"Can you control the situation over there and not attack our convoy?"

Colonel Morris said, "No problem. I will order the troops over there to let all your convoys pass when they see them. The troops will retreat and will never attack you."

“I can still do that.”

"But I can't guarantee anything about the government troops."

Li Guotao said: "You don't have to worry about this. The embassy will communicate with the government troops."

Colonel Morris hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously: "I still have some doubts. I wonder if your government will intervene in this war?"

This is what Colonel Morris is most worried about. If they really intervene, then what will they do?

Li Guotao replied helplessly: "I don't have the right to give you an accurate answer. After all, I am not the leader and have no right to decide these things."

"But our country's consistent principle is not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries."

"Of course, provided that our expatriates are not threatened."

Colonel Morris pondered for a moment, thinking about what Li Guotao said, and said with a happy look on his face: "Don't worry, we will never dare to be an enemy of your country."

"I will definitely restrain my subordinates and will never allow any incidents that endanger your country's expatriates to occur."

Li Guotao said: "I still want to advise you that you should try your best to restrain your subordinates and not massacre civilians without reason, no matter which country it is."

"There is an old saying in our country: He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world."

Colonel Morris said quickly: "Thank you for your guidance, sir. Please rest assured, sir, I will do my best to control the troops."

"I am actually against this, but after the war broke out, the army was full of mixed people, and some radical elements really went too far. I am also trying my best to rectify military discipline, but now the war is at a stalemate and there is chaos everywhere, so it is inevitable that some tragedies will still happen."

Li Guotao didn't say much, because these were no longer things he needed to consider. He just mentioned it casually. What they did was his business.

However, this small country is a good place, and he does not want it to be completely destroyed in the war.

Colonel Morris glanced at Li Guotao secretly and asked cautiously, "Sir, I have another request."

Li Guotao said casually: "Tell me about it."

Colonel Morris said: "As you know, the Ramanla virus is raging right now, and this is one of the most fundamental causes of the war."

"I heard that Dr. Chen has developed a drug that can cure the virus. Can you provide us with some when the time comes?"

Colonel Morris is now also worried because the government troops they are fighting are, after all, regular troops and are not recognized by various countries and the alliance.

Therefore, if the alliance provides support, it will certainly also support the government troops. Dr. Chen’s medical team is affiliated with the alliance. If they give all the medicines to the government troops, they can take this opportunity to quickly win over the hearts of the people, and then they will have no chance at all.

Li Guotao said: "I am a lowly person and my words are not taken seriously. These matters are not something we can decide." "But! The medical team and peacekeepers of the alliance are all out of humanitarianism."

"Out of humanitarian considerations, they should not refuse to treat your patients to prevent further spread of the virus."

"Of course, the specifics still depend on you to fight for them."

"Understood!"

Colonel Morris nodded and felt relieved again. After all, there was still room for maneuver.

Colonel Morris hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Sir, there is something I still need to remind you of."

"The company behind that group of mercenaries has influence all over the world and is very powerful. You killed so many of them, they will definitely seek revenge on you."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder. If they ask, you can tell the truth and say that we killed those mercenaries. Let them come to us for revenge."

"If they have the guts to do it."

Colonel Morris smiled awkwardly and said, "I guess they don't have the guts to seek revenge on you. After all, the country behind you is an existence that they can't afford to provoke. It's not like our small country that allows others to bully us."

Li Guotao said: "If you want to avoid being bullied, you must develop peacefully and become stronger so that others will not dare to bully you."

Colonel Morris nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see! Thank you for your guidance, sir."

Li Guotao asked, "Your people didn't catch up, did they?"

Colonel Morris replied: "No, I ordered them to stay where they are. How dare they follow me?"

"These people are all my trusted troops. If they were from other troops, some of them might be hoping that I would die sooner and would use some shady tricks to kill me, but they definitely won't do that."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "This is best."

"Then you can park there in front."

Colonel Morris stopped the car as instructed by Li Guotao. Li Guotao smiled and said, "Colonel Morris, thank you for giving us a ride."

"Please walk back on your own from now on!"

Colonel Morris asked in surprise: "You're letting me go now, aren't you worried that I might..."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "I believe you are a smart person."

"Thank you for your trust! Thank you both for not killing me."

Colonel Morris didn't waste any time, opened the car door and got out.

Li Guotao did not get out of the car, but went straight to the driver's seat and drove away.

Colonel Morris was in a good mood as he watched the car going away, mainly because he had gotten rid of the hidden danger of 'Old Man'. This way, he would no longer be constrained.

Moreover, with the bargaining chips he holds now, even if he cannot completely win this war, at least he has enough capital for negotiations, and he will have great potential in the future.

Leng Feng sat in the back seat, treated the wound briefly, and said to Li Guotao: "You are really good!"

"I admire you more and more."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "Same here."

Leng Feng smiled and said, "You are better than me. If it weren't for you today, I would have died here."

"Haha~!"

Li Guotao laughed and said, "That may not be the case."

"Colonel Morris is not a fool. He is trying to help us and is using us to get rid of 'Daddy'."

"Maybe even if I don't hold him hostage, he will find a way to let us go."

Leng Feng smiled and said, "That may not be the case. He might just kill us and use our heads to appease the anger of the mercenary company."

Li Guotao nodded and said, "We can't rule out this possibility, but we are not soft persimmons that can be bullied by everyone. It is still possible for us to break out."

"That bunch of trash may not be able to stop you and me."

Leng Feng said: "I am injured. If you take me with you, you will have to accompany me to the underworld."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "If I hadn't come out earlier and helped you deal with that 'old man', would we have killed that guy together? Would I have to be injured?"

Leng Feng nodded and said, "That's true."

"Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Li Guotao said casually: "You should take a rest first. I will call you when we get to the factory."

Leng Feng was already exhausted at this moment. Once he relaxed, he slumped down in the chair, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Li Guotao drove all the way to the factory.

By the time we arrived at the factory, it was already dawn.

Li Guotao stopped the car, turned his head and looked outside, and saw a ray of dawn in the east.

It was not until this moment that Li Guotao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If nothing unexpected happens, this mission should be completed successfully.

We went through numerous hardships and dangers during the period, but finally got through it safely.

After the car stopped, Leng Feng suddenly woke up and asked, "Have we arrived at the factory?"

"arrive!"

Li Guotao turned his head, looked at Leng Feng and said with a smile: "You are quite alert."

Leng Feng said helplessly: "After going through so many things, I have to keep one eye open even when I sleep."

Li Guotao picked up the microphone and shouted to the factory through the loud speaker installed in the car: "Lao He, I am Li Guotao, we are back!"

In order to avoid misunderstanding, Li Guotao had to notify the people in the factory first.

Because at night, they had set up many traps nearby and cars could not drive in.

And there must be someone inside who is on guard and is hiding in the dark and watching them.

After hearing Li Guotao's shout, the door slowly opened, and He Jianguo walked out cautiously with a few people.

At this time, Li Guotao and Leng Feng had already got out of the car.

He Jianguo was also overjoyed to see the two return safely.
