C228

"Wake up, we're almost there!"

After all, it was an international flight route, ten thousand kilometers from Asia to Africa. Even the fastest Boeing aircraft would need to fly for twelve to thirteen hours in the air.

Thus, after she boarded the plane at four in the afternoon, Bai Linger leaned on her chair and fell asleep.

After who knows how long, she suddenly heard Xiang Anjie's voice in her ears, and while she was in a daze, she opened her eyes.

Only now did Bai Linger realise that the scenery outside the window of the plane was still pitch black, as if it was still deep into the night.

But when she looked at her watch, she realized it was past five in the morning.

Stunned, she immediately reacted. "I forgot to adjust the time difference. I remember that Africa is five hours away from us. That is to say, it should be around midnight local time!"

"Yes."

Xiang Anjie nodded his head: "I have already adjusted the time of my phone and watch, the other plane is about to land, get ready!"

"Oh."

After replying, Bai Linger sat up and looked outside the window. Sure enough, the plane was descending.

Not long later, the flight attendant began to announce the arrival of the plane at Dar es Salaam on the plane's broadcast. Everyone who had been sleeping also opened their eyes.

Half an hour later, the plane landed on the runway of the airport on the African continent. Everyone got off the plane in an orderly manner.

After getting off the plane, Bai Linger took a deep breath. "Ah, the air in Africa is pretty good! Oh right, dad, when was the last time we came to the African continent? "

"I seem to recall something that happened more than 30 years ago!"

Xiang Anjie did not think too much about it. After saying that, he pulled Bai Linger and walked towards the terminal: "Alright, stop delaying. After you pick up the consignment chest, quickly find people from the embassy and do not delay our work."

After receiving the consignment case, the two of them went to the departure lounge. As soon as they arrived, they saw three Chinese people holding up signs: Welcome Mr. Xiang and white girl!

"Looks like it's them."

Xiang Anjie immediately walked over, and Bai Linger could not help but say: "The embassy only sent three people to pick us up, isn't that a bit too shabby?"

"Cut the crap. We're here for a job, not a tour. How many people do you need?"

While they were talking, the two of them walked up to the three people.

"You must be Mr. Xiang Xiang Anjie?"

Seeing Xiang Anjie taking the initiative to walk over, the middle-aged man wearing glasses asked.

"That's right!"

Xiang Anjie nodded his head: "I am, she is my daughter, Bai Linger!"

After all, they were people from the embassy. Bai Linger, who was usually cold and arrogant, also took the initiative to greet them: "Hello!"

"Welcome!"

Hearing that, the glasses wearing man immediately extended his hand towards Xiang Anjie: "I am the Chinese ambassador to Tanzania, Liu Jundong. It's nice to meet you all."

"Uh, Ambassador Liu is too courteous, you are personally coming to pick us up, it is truly our honor!"

Xiang Anjie hurriedly replied.

"Alright, don't be so polite with each other. Isn't it just for the mission? "Then hurry up and get to work!"

Seeing the two of them being so polite, Bai Linger could not watch any longer.

"Oh, right!"

Hearing that, Liu Jundong laughed embarrassedly: "The two of you come in, the carriage is already prepared. We will go to the embassy now and take care of the matters after."

Just like that, Xiang Anjie and the others followed the embassy staff out of the airport under the cover of the night. They got into a car, and then headed towards the embassy.

As the car cruised along the streets of Dar es Salaam, Liu Jundong enthusiastically said to Xiang Anjie: "This should be the first time you two have come to this city, right?"

Xiang Anjie nodded his head, "Many years ago, I made a trip to the African continent, but this is still my first time here."

After 10 minutes or so, the car drove into the middle of the embassy's courtyard. It was a building that looked like a small villa, about the size of Mao Xiaoting's home in Beijing.

However, as an embassy, the building seemed a little too petty.

Bai Linger, who was a straightforward person, naturally had something to say. "The embassy only has this little villa? Isn't it a little small? "

"Ling Er, don't talk nonsense!"

Xiang Anjie immediately turned back and reprimanded her.

"white girl is right."

Liu Jundong did not get angry: "It was never a big building, but this is not our real embassy. This is just a building our embassy bought at the local place. Because the Dar es Salaam already belongs to the former capital of the Tanzania, so our current embassy is at the capital city of Thomas. I also came here specially because of this matter, so I hope that the two of you will forgive me. "

"Ambassador Liu, don't listen to my daughter's nonsense. This girl doesn't understand anything, so don't be angry at her words."

After waving his hands, Xiang Anjie followed Liu Jundong into the first floor of the villa.

"Alright, sit, Xiao Chen …" I'll pour some tea for the two of you! "

After treating them to a seat, Liu Jundong had people bring them two cups of tea.

After the hot tea was served, Liu Jundong dismissed the others, and the only people left in the hall were him, Xiang Anjie and Bai Linger.

"Mr. Xiang, as the ambassador, I should have greeted you warmly originally, but because the mission this time is urgent, I will not waste any time. You should understand what happened now, right?"

Once he sat down, Liu Jundong went straight to the point.

Xiang Anjie nodded his head: "I heard from the leader that five vehicles of the medical rescue team were hijacked by the Somali pirates, right? Together with 10 members of our medical team. "

"That's right!"

Liu Jundong sighed: "It happened five days ago, at that time, the convoy of five cars was about to head to Southern Sudan to complete their mission, but when they passed through the border between Ethiopia and Somalia, they suddenly lost contact. After receiving the news, they immediately went to search, but in the end, they did not find anything, and through some special sources of information, we found out that they were kidnapped by a group of pirates from Somalia. I am very clear about the rules for secrecy, and I will never ask about things that I shouldn't have, but I still want to plead with you here, Mr. Xiang, because since they sent you here, there must be a reason behind it. So I hope that no matter what, Mr. Xiang, you will definitely save them! "

"Rest assured Ambassador Liu, I will do my best."

Saying that, Xiang Anjie stood up: "Alright, the Leader said that you have prepared a car for us right? Then Ling Er, let's go now! "

"Wait?"

Hearing this, Liu Jundong was momentarily stunned, "You … You want to bring your daughter along for this mission? "

"That's right."

Xiang Anjie nodded his head: "If I didn't participate in the mission, why would I bring her here?"

"Ugh …" I had thought that you had let her come to the Tanzania to travel … "

As she spoke till here, Liu Jundong's face revealed a surprised expression: "Looking at her, she's only around fifteen or sixteen years old. Isn't it inappropriate for a little girl to participate in such a dangerous mission?"

"It's nothing!"

Before Xiang Anjie could say anything, Bai Linger said while grinning: "Don't underestimate me because I'm young, I'm an experienced old secret service agent. Furthermore, I even have the task of translating for my father, if I didn't go, how could he carry out his mission?"

After she finished speaking, Bai Linger introduced herself with her proficient Arabic and English, as well as some other languages from Africa that were used more frequently.

After hearing her introduction, Liu Jundong revealed an obvious look of surprise, and promptly gave a thumbs up. "It's not simple, it's really not simple! Despite his young age, he is actually able to master so many languages skillfully. He is even better than the people I met in the Translation Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs … But there was still some danger! Otherwise, don't go, I will get two more translators to go with your father. You can use this time to go to Tanzania and have a good look at his methods … "

"Alright Ambassador Liu, don't worry, I will protect my daughter, you don't have to worry, hurry up and send the car over to me, I need to set off immediately!"

"Alright then."

Seeing how determined Xiang Anjie was, Liu Jundong didn't say anything else and brought the two of them to the backyard of the villa.

In this yard stood a black military Hummer.

"Wow!"

Seeing that, Xiang Anjie's eyes instantly lit up, and Bai Linger even cried out in surprise: "Military Hummer? This car is not simple! "

"Not bad."

Liu Jundong laughed: "Originally, this car was loaded with machine guns and other weapons, but because of the special mission this time, we were unable to provide you with weapons. Now, only this car is left. The car is already filled with fuel, and there's fifty liters of fuel in the back for you to use, plus five days of food and water. Under normal circumstances, it should be able to get you to Somalia, but East Africa is not like the rest of the country, so there's no guarantee of what will happen on the way.

"Naturally!"

With that, Xiang Anjie jumped onto the driver's seat and followed him into the front passenger seat.

Stepping on the gas pedal, the steel beast immediately roared, causing the old zombie, Xiang Anjie, to feel his blood boiling.

Liu Jundong walked over: "You have also prepared a map on the carriage, if you find those people that are trapped, think of a way to bring them to Southern Sudan or to the Tanzania, and during the operation, you must not reveal your identities, if there are any circumstances, remember to contact us!"

"Don't worry, I've already planned everything on the way here!"

With that, Xiang Anjie nodded towards Liu Jundong. He then drove the military Hummer, and with the cover of the night, they left the embassy.
