In the early morning of the weekend, Rongsheng Jewelry's purchasing factory in Lhasa, West Africa sent an urgent call.A batch of precious pink diamonds were mined locally in Lhasa, but the local government asked for too high a price. The staff in Lhasa called to ask for instructions to see if they needed to buy these pink diamonds at a high price.

In the afternoon of the same day, Rong Chengyu convened an emergency meeting with Rongsheng's top management. The result of the discussion was that this batch of pink diamonds was much higher than the previous batches in terms of fineness and clarity.

Although the local government's offer was too high, Rong Sheng could send someone to talk to him, and the final candidate was Rong Xi.

The reason is very simple. The diamond resources in Lase are all in the hands of the local government. The value of this batch of pink diamonds is so high this time. The government will definitely send important officials to negotiate. Rongsheng needs to send someone who can make a decision on the spot people.

Rong Xi is now Rong Sheng's vice president, so it's perfect for him to go.

It's just that Rong Chengyu didn't expect that after Qi Yan heard the news, he also asked to go together.

"Ayan, that place is too dangerous."

A few months ago in Lhasa, local anti-government militants hijacked the employees of the Rongsheng purchasing factory. At that time, Rong Chengyu personally took people to the local area to resolve the matter.Rong Chengyu knew how dangerous that place was.

"Don't worry, I've read the news. Isn't the situation over there much more stable now?" Qi Yan also did her homework a long time ago, "Besides, I'm also suitable for local government officials to talk about pink diamonds with Rongxi. They will not run around, and there will be no danger at all."

"That's what I said, but I'm not afraid of [-], just in case." Rong Chengyu was still worried, after all, Lhasa is a famous turbulent area in the world.Local anti-government militants and government forces often clash over diamond resources. Although the news reports that the situation there is stable, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen.

Qi Yan also knew that Rong Chengyu was only thinking of herself, "Chengyu, I really want to go and see the outside world. This is a rare opportunity, and I am a shareholder of Rongsheng, so just treat it as my responsibility for the company." Just do your best. If I go, you don't have to worry about things going wrong."

This hit Rong Chengyu's mind.Not long after Rong Xi took up the position of vice president, Rong Chengyu was a little worried that he was inexperienced, and that he would not be able to handle it well when he was overseas.If Qi Yan followed, with his ability, it would definitely be no problem to buy pink diamonds.

Seeing that Rong Chengyu was a little shaken, Qi Yan hit the iron while the iron was hot, wrapped his hands around the back of his neck, and persuaded him intimately: "Aren't you pursuing me? This is the time to witness your sincerity!"

He deliberately stretched out his index finger and poked the man's plump chest muscles.

Rong Chengyu grabbed the finger, put it to his mouth and bit it lightly, "Little villain, if I promise you, what reward will I get?"

"you say?"

The man put his arms around his waist, making the two of them fit tightly together, "You have been starving me for so long, you should let me charge some interest..."

The lips of the two were so close, Qi Yan stretched out the tip of her bright red tongue and licked each other lightly.

The deep voice is singing like a sea monster, "Don't you know that the longer you are hungry, the more delicious it tastes?"

"Oh? Then I have to try."

The man accepted his temptation and kissed him slowly.

The enthusiasm of the two gradually melted the surrounding air...

Under Qi Yan's persuasion of "doing it yourself", Rong Chengyu finally agreed with him to go to West Africa with Rong Xi.

The country of Lhasa has been affected by the civil war for many years, the economy is developing slowly, and the living standards of the people are also low.The local diamond resources are firmly in the hands of the government, and the pink diamonds mined this time are naturally waiting for wealthy buyers.

Rong Changchang has maintained a good cooperative relationship with the Lhasa government for many years. This time when Rong Xi, Qi Yan, and a few other staff members arrived in Lhasa, the government immediately sent someone to contact them.

The local government also knew how precious these pink diamonds were, and the price they offered was three times higher than what Rong Xi expected.The two sides have been seeing each other for a few days on the issue of price, but they have been unable to reach a result.

Qi Yan thought that Rong Xi would be impatient, but the other party still played Tai Chi leisurely with the government.

This point made Qi Yan appreciate it quite a bit.He was not mistaken, as long as he was given a proper stage and opportunity, Rong Xi would become a dazzling bright jade sooner or later.

But what Qi Yan didn't know was that the reason Rong Xi was so stable was because he was by his side.

"Although the economy of Lase is not good, its architecture is quite distinctive. Let's go out for a stroll today."

"it is good."

When Rong Xi mentioned this, Qi Yan immediately agreed, and he also wanted to see this world-famous diamond producing area.

Lhasa just experienced a turmoil a few months ago. Although there are still some ruins in the city, the streets are patrolled by the police, and the people have resumed their previous lives.Walking on such a road makes people feel safer.

Rong Xi walked around with Qi Yan, but he felt very satisfied in his heart.

He never thought that he would have Qi Yan as his companion during this trip to Lase.

Without Rong Chengyu, without Rong Muli, without Rong Sheng... In this foreign land, he and Qi Yan only have each other as companions, this feeling is really wonderful.It was so beautiful that he doubted whether this minute was real.

The government has been unwilling to lower the price, and he doesn't care.It is best for the two sides to remain in a stalemate like this until the end of time.

Then, he can stay here with Qi Yan forever...

The city that had just gone through the war clearly had nothing to visit. The two of them walked on the street for more than an hour, and finally decided to visit the purchasing factory.

Rong Sheng obtained the license to set up a procurement factory here through the local government in his early years.Lase diamonds are rich in resources, and direct purchase here can avoid intermediate circulation links and save a lot of costs.

Today is a rest day, when Rong Xi and Qi Yan came, only the director of the purchasing factory and two or three middle-level cadres were there.

When the supervisor saw that the vice president and shareholders were coming, he immediately took out the good tea from his collection.

They live here in Lase all the year round, and every time they return to China, they will bring some tea and special products from their hometown.

It's been almost a week since Qi Yan came here, and he's not used to the lase food, his eyes light up when he sees tea.

Of course, this small detail cannot be hidden from Rong Xi's eyes.

Rong Xi knew that he liked it, so he simply sat in the purchasing factory for a while longer.

Several people chatted for a long time about the local situation in Lhasa.In the end, seeing that it was getting late, Rong Xi dragged Qi Yan back to the hotel.

The supervisor and several middle-level cadres sent them to the door, Rong Xi just waved and said: "No need to send them."

Suddenly there was an explosion ahead.

"Be careful--"

"careful!"

Li Xinglan turned around with a cup of tea and almost bumped into Rong Chengyu, but luckily the latter turned sideways in time.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Mr. Rong!"

Li Xinglan put down the teacup in a little panic, his face was a little pale, and there was a faint black halo under his eyes, so he could tell that he often stayed up late.

"I'm fine." Rong Chengyu sized him up for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Xinglan, are you okay recently?"

Although the position of assistant to the president has a lot of work, Rong Chengyu asked himself that he didn't exploit his employees to stay up late every day.All in all, the things that happened to Rong recently are not too many.There's no reason for Li Xinglan to suffer like this?

Li Xinglan shook his head, "I'm fine, it's just that I haven't been able to sleep well recently."

It's not that simple.Rong Chengyu looked at him carefully, since Li Xinglan became his assistant, his condition has never been so bad.

But he was too embarrassed to pry into other people's privacy at will, so Rong Chengyu could only pat him on the shoulder, "Xinglan, if you encounter any difficulties, don't hold it in your heart. If you need my help, just ask, you know?" ?”

Li Xinglan smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Rong."

He was very grateful to Rong Chengyu, but no one could help him solve the problems he encountered.

Not wanting to dwell on this topic any longer, Li Xinglan deliberately asked, "I wonder how the conversation between Vice President Rong and Qi Yan is going?"

"That's right, I haven't made a video call with him today!"

Ever since Qi Yan went to Lase, Rong Chengyu will maintain the habit of making video calls with him every day.

Seeing him open WeChat with great interest, Li Xinglan couldn't help feeling envious.

That's great, how lucky it is to meet someone you love and who loves you in your life...

But before Rong Chengyu could press the video call button, the secretary hurried over on high heels.

"It's not good, Mr. Rong! Something happened to Lase!"

10 minutes later, Rong Sheng meeting room.

"According to the news from the Lasser government, Vice President Rong and Mr. Qi went to Rongsheng's procurement factory yesterday. At [-]:[-] p.m., local anti-government militants attacked the procurement factory and took it as their base. Now, Vice President Rong, Mr. Qi, Zhang Bin, the director of the purchasing factory, and the three middle-level cadres Chen Fei, Li Haojun, and Wang Junnan, all six of them have been kidnapped now."

"How much do those terrorists want?" Rong Chengyu looked sullenly at the manager of the overseas department who was reporting.

The manager wiped the sweat from his brow, "Now the Lhasa government is still negotiating with those militants..."

"Okay." Rong Chengyu stood up abruptly, and said to the secretary behind him, "Alice, help me book a ticket to Lase as soon as possible."

"Mr. Rong!" The manager of the overseas department couldn't help reminding: "The situation over there is tense now, and you may be in danger in the past..."

"I am the president of Rongsheng. Now a vice president, a shareholder, and four important backbones of our company have all been hijacked. Do you think I can still sit here and wait for the news?"

Rong Chengyu uttered these words so loudly that no one else dared to speak.

After Rong Chengyu walked out of the conference room, Li Xinglan hurried over from behind, "Mr. Rong, let me go with you."

Rong Chengyu paused, "...Okay."

He could hear the slight trembling at the end of Rong Chengyu's words. In fact, in the conference room just now, he could clearly see that Rong Chengyu's hands were clenched and then loosened, loosened and clenched again.

Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, he should be the most anxious person at the moment.

In this peaceful age, the person he loves will encounter such danger, Li Xinglan looked at Rong Chengyu's tall back, and felt a burst of worry in his heart.

I don't know how Rong Xi and Qi Yan are doing now...

With a "snap", several pieces of bread rolled on the ground and were immediately covered with dust.

The bald black man with the gun grumbled something to them, then walked away again.

The six of them, Rong Xi and Qi Yan, were all handcuffed behind their backs, and could only use their feet to hook the bread in front of them.

"This... I really can't take it anymore!" Fade Chen is a college student who just graduated, and he was sent here less than a month ago.

"Eat it. From yesterday to now, they only gave us bread once. After eating this time, I don't know when we will have food!"

The supervisor, Zhang Bin, is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has been stationed in Lhasa for many years and has a good understanding of the political situation here.

"These people still want to use us to negotiate with the government. They might be locked up for how long. If they don't eat more now, they won't be able to survive soon."

When he said this, the other people present were even more worried.

Fade Chen asked anxiously: "Director Zhang, what should we do? Will the government here send someone to rescue us?"

It was his first overseas assignment, and he obviously didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.

Zhang Bin nodded, "That's for sure. They will send the news back to the country, and the country will send people over at that time, as well as the Rongsheng headquarters. In short, don't panic, we will definitely get out of trouble safely."

Obviously he has the most right to speak here. When he said this, the three young people, Chen Fei, Li Haojun, and Wang Junnan, immediately felt relieved.

Rong Xi slowly moved to Qi Yan's side, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will protect you."

"Oh, no need." Qi Yan seemed to have just come back to his senses, he glanced at Zhang Bin, then at the bread on the ground, finally bent down, and bit the bread in an extremely unsightly posture.

Rong Xi watched him eat the bread with difficulty, feeling a little complicated.On the contrary, it was Qi Yan who persuaded him in turn: "Director Zhang is right, we just need to conserve our strength as much as possible and wait for someone to rescue us."

Rong Xi also understands this truth, but the bread on the ground looks like it was just picked up from the trash can. To eat this thing, one has to overcome many psychological obstacles.

However, no matter how big the psychological barrier is, it is no match for the constant growling of the stomach.

It has been 24 hours since they were hijacked yesterday, and they only drank a few sips of water and ate a piece of bread.The six of them are all young men, how can this intake satisfy them?

The few remaining people also endured the nausea and ate the bread one after another.

The terrorists locked the six of them in the office, presumably because they had no weapons on them, and all their mobile phones were confiscated. They were only handcuffed, and two black men with guns were sent to guard the door.

In the past 24 hours, they have gone from accidents, panic, and fear at the beginning to helplessness now, and they have less anxiety in their hearts.

Anyway, they can only wait here for people from outside to come to the rescue, no matter how worried they are, they can't solve the problem.

Thinking about it this way, everyone who couldn't fall asleep the night before felt sleepy tonight.

There are no beds or quilts here. Zhang Bin suggested that the two should sleep next to each other, so that they can keep each other warm and have a caretaker, in case someone comes and drags them away in the middle of the night, and no one else knows.

There are six people here, and the four people from the purchasing factory formed two groups, leaving Rong Xi and Qi Yan.

Rong Xi was a little embarrassed, "If you mind..."

"It's okay, just do as he said." Qi Yan didn't care.In his opinion, this kind of thing is nothing to care about.

Who cares so much about such a life-and-death situation?What's more, he is not a woman, so naturally he doesn't need to engage in those tweaking gestures.

Rong Xi held back the little joy in his heart, and he signaled with his eyes, "You can sleep on my shoulder, it's more comfortable this way."

"how about you?"

"I don't care. You just got sick before. If you're sleepy now, take a rest."

Since Rong Xi said so, Qi Yan rested her head on his shoulder generously.

Although both hands are handcuffed behind the back, but leaning on someone to sleep, you can really feel the warmth of the other person.

This is extremely rare in the cold night of Rasek.

After all, they hadn't had a good rest for 24 hours, and the six of them soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, when the sunlight outside the window was shining on the floor, Rong Xi woke up leisurely.

He kept the same posture all night, and he felt numb all over his body.

But the temperature from his shoulder made his heart feel soft again.He was reluctant to move, reluctant to break this rare little happiness.

Soon, Qi Yan also woke up.

With sleepy eyes open, he raised his head and said to him, "Morning."

"Good morning."

It was obviously just a very ordinary greeting, but Rong Xi suddenly had an impulse, he mustered up the courage to ask: "Ayan, are you afraid?"

Ever since Rong Chengyu and Qi Yan reconciled, fearing that they might find out, now they dare not directly address Qi Yan as "Ayan".

Now in a foreign country, under the situation of being hijacked again, he feels that there is nothing to be afraid of.

Now that he is awake, Qi Yan is embarrassed to lean against him again.He sat up straight and shook his head, "I'm not afraid, the government will definitely take action. Also, Chengyu will definitely try his best to save us!"

Hearing the word "Chengyu", Rong Xi's eyes darkened again.

At this moment, he suddenly had a crazy idea, if both he and Qi Yan died here, would this count as "you can't live together, but you can die together"?

Suddenly, the door was violently opened, and a black man in camouflage uniform and sunglasses walked in.Behind him was a short and fat Chinese man.

He murmured, and the Chinese beside him immediately translated for him, "Mr. Hughes asked you, who is in charge?"

Several people looked at each other, and finally Rong Xi responded, "It's me."

The black man asked again, and the fat man translated: "Tell Mr. Hughes your identity."

Rong Xi pondered for a while, "I'm just a manager of the purchasing factory."

The fat man translated his words to the black man, but then, the black man took a step forward and kicked Rong Xi over.

"Why are you beating people!"

Qi Yan and the others were handcuffed behind their backs, and they couldn't help him even if they wanted to.

The fat man angrily translated the black man's words: "Don't try to lie, Mr. Hughes has already investigated. You are the vice president of the company where this purchasing factory is located."

He pointed to Rong Xi, and then to Qi Yan, "And you are also an important person in that company."

Qi Yan stared at the black man with gloomy eyes, and the fat man continued to say: "Mr. Hughes has already told the government that if he wants to redeem you, he will give you 600 million US dollars in exchange."

$600 million?

Chen Fei and the others gasped on the spot!Where can the Lhasa government get this money?

Li Haojun couldn't hold back anymore, "Impossible, the government doesn't have so much money!"

600 million US dollars, equivalent to almost 4000 million yuan.How can a poor government like Lase spend so much money for a few foreigners?What he is most worried about now is that these terrorists can't get the money, so they just tear up the ticket.

The fat man laughed, "So, obediently, cooperate with us to record a video and show it to people in your company. Your company is quite rich, and it's not difficult to spend 600 million dollars to save you back."

Immediately behind, two black men in camouflage uniforms came in with a video camera on their shoulders. The fat man snorted and urged impatiently, "Hurry up and cry a few times, cry pitifully, so that your boss will Take money to redeem you. If there is no money, then you guys can only be used as fertilizer here."

After finishing speaking, he patted the guns in the hands of the black men next to him.

When the three young men, Fade Chen, Li Haojun, and Wang Junnan heard this, their legs were so frightened that their legs went limp. They faced the camera and immediately shouted hoarsely: "Mr. Rong, save us..."

Zhang Bin sat on the side with a livid face and didn't make a sound, while Qi Yan and Rong Xi just watched and didn't speak.

But the reaction of the three young men clearly satisfied each other, and the camera was quickly removed.

The black man called Mr. Hughes by the fat man is obviously the leader here. He stared at Qi Yan for a long time, then suddenly grinned and stuck out his tongue to lick his lips.

He walked forward step by step, and said another sentence.The fat man immediately dutifully translated for him: "Mr. Hughes said that he hasn't met such a beautiful man as you for a long time, and he wants to have fun with you today."

The "you" in this sentence obviously refers to Qi Yan.

Rong Xi's face changed drastically on the spot, he struggled to straighten up, "No, you can't touch him, I can afford whatever you want!"

It's a pity that no matter how much he shouted, the black man still approached Qi Yan step by step.

A trace of cruelty flashed in Qi Yan's eyes, which instead aroused the black man's sense of abuse.He stretched out his hand to untie the belt in front of his waist, and made an obscene gesture with his hand on his crotch.

Seeing this, Rong Xi was even more stunned. He tried his best to block in front of Qi Yan, and kept repeating in his mouth: "I agree to whatever you want! As long as you don't hurt him!"

Zhang Bin and the others couldn't bear to turn their heads. In this situation, they have no better choice.

The black man finally walked in front of them and looked down at them condescendingly.

Seeing that he had already untied all the belts, Rong Xi knew that the matter would soon be irretrievable, he gritted his teeth, and simply shouted: "Don't hurt him! I...I can..."

He closed his eyes and said word by word: "I can replace him!"
