I Really Didn’t Want To Make A Lot Of Money

Luau is a port city in Angola, close to the Democratic Republic of Congo and the end of the Benguela Railway. At the very end of the railway, on the opposite bank of a small river, is Dilolo in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Chen Ling was going to this place to help complete a task at Molly's request.

Miranda was unsatisfied with Chen Ling's indifferent response, and asked: "Going to Luau is not a big deal, how do I feel that you are very worried? Are you not interested in the port of Lobito?"

"No, I have always been very interested. Thank you, I will definitely do a good job of this port project." Chen Ling said, "As I said before, I will develop a lot of business in Angola. There will also be cooperation."

Chen Ling puts things first, and will have more cooperation with Xu Jinghua in the future, and he will not appear too abrupt in front of Miranda.

Miranda is pleased to see Chen Ling's development in Angola, and said: "Angola will definitely change a lot in the next few years. Let go and do it. You can find me wherever you need it. You can also find Xu Jinghua. Some It’s easier for him to come forward than me... What are you going to do in Luau?"

"Speaking of speaking, it has something to do with the Benguela Railway. My friend heard that the Benguela Railway is about to start construction, and thought that Luau at the railway terminal will definitely have a good development in the future, so I want to investigate, and I will do entrepot trade to the Democratic Republic of Congo in the future. "Chen Ling didn't lie, Molly did go to Luau in this name.

"Your friend has vision. In the future, the port and railway will be built. A large number of import and export goods in the Congo gold mining area will follow this route. Luau's development prospects are unlimited." Miranda praised.

"Yes, I think so too. Moreover, I just happened to take a look at the conditions of the Benguela railway project."

Miranda remembered something, and then said: "But, you are leaving so soon, blame your friend!"

"I will come back to Luanda." Chen Ling smiled.

Miranda shook her head and said, "I'll talk about the future. You must go to the yacht tonight! I promise you won't regret it."

Chen Ling smiled and did not refuse. Molly asked to leave for Luau tomorrow, so Chen Ling had to inform Miranda tonight. In this case, she could no longer refuse Miranda's invitation to go to sea.

He knows very well that something special will definitely happen on the yacht arranged by Miranda tonight. But why did the Portuguese teacher go there too?

"She is here to support me, and she is going to give you a situational Portuguese lesson." At this time Miranda's answer, as for the situation, she did not elaborate.

That night, François and Mr. Feng received calls from him separately and were assigned to work, while Chen Ling himself did not return overnight.

...

...

After Chen Ling talked about the situation of the Benguela Railway, Molly got up and asked Chen Ling for help.

She was going to complete a mission on the border between Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo, so she said that she could pass by Luanda or the Democratic Republic of Congo.

As for the real purpose of going to Luau, Molly did not explain. She just asked Chen Ling to let her cover her personnel to Luau as a member of the railway engineering survey team.

It's not that Chen Ling didn't ask Molly's purpose, but Molly refused.

"You still don't want to know some bad things. We originally had a way to hide our identity, but it was not perfect."

Molly also said: "To find out about Ge Geng's situation, I want to mobilize some internal forces. You cover our actions in Luau, just as our reason to help you investigate Ge Geng."

So Chen Ling agreed. The reconnaissance team had already set off, so he had no choice but to go out himself, and then take another reconnaissance team to Luau to cover Molly.

On the morning of the day of departure, two men and a woman came to the hotel where Chen Ling was. They gathered into a team of six, took a business trip certificate, and flew to Luau.

According to the plan, Chen Ling led the team to the office in Luau for an appearance, and then reported to the local government department in Luau. After registering, the four of Molly could act on their own. While Chen Ling, François and others stayed in Luau for a few days, deliberately appeared in front of the public, and then they could return to Luanda.

Unexpectedly, just the day after Molly and the four left, Chen Ling received bad news.

CR's survey team walked south along the route, and one member stepped on a landmine!

During the civil war in Angola, landmines were buried everywhere in the country. Over time, no one knew where the landmines were and whether they were detonated.

Therefore, in Angola, all field projects require demining first. Nevertheless, in Angola, where the civil war has just ended, there are often news of landmine explosions.

CR's luck was very bad. It did not go far along the route and stepped on a landmine in a place that is generally considered to be free of mines.

The engineer who stepped on the thunder was seriously injured and must be sent to the hospital immediately. But the entire city of Luo does not have such medical conditions, and the plane that only leaves every three days has just taken off back to Luanda.

Chen Linghe CR Company immediately looked for help everywhere to rescue the wounded.

Finally, according to Tang Yongyue's opinion, the nearest fully-equipped hospital is in Dilolo on the other side of the river. There is a private hospital run by a Belgian. The main patients are the wounded and sick of a nearby mining company.

Chen Ling personally escorted the wounded into the Democratic Republic of Congo and went to a Belgian hospital for medical treatment. CR’s team in the Congo’s gold mining area also sent personnel to provide the necessary funds and logistical support for this rescue.

The Belgian hospital in the city center of Dilolo is said to have existed as early as a hundred years ago. With the crime of the mining economy, it has been expanded many times before it has its current scale. Two operating rooms, more than twenty There is also a so-called intensive care unit.

Fortunately, the doctor here is a serious surgeon. After the wounded had an operation, his condition was stable and he was sent to the intensive care unit.

At this moment, Chen Ling was sitting in the reception room of the hospital, surrounded by François and several other Longli employees, as well as Tang Yongyue and several CR employees in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The hospital's reception room is very simple, with mottled walls on all sides, a few plastic chairs, and an old ceiling fan hanging from the ceiling, creaking and spinning.

"The wounded have been out of danger, what should we do next?" This is the question Chen Ling posed to Tang Yongyue.

Tang Yongyue said: "According to our company's procedures, the wounded are currently treated locally, and after the wounded recovers to be suitable for long-distance travel, they will return to the country for treatment."

"It's best to transfer to Luanda or South Africa as soon as possible. The hospitals there are better." Chen Ling said, "Our business in Angola has just started, so we must avoid casualties. This landmine is unpreventable, and we must be more careful in the future. ."

At this time, a security officer of Longli Company whispered a few words in François' ear, and François nodded frequently.

"Mr. Chen, Dilolo is not very safe here either, there are often vicious incidents." François said, "We also have to be vigilant here."

Among the people, Tang Yongyue is the most familiar with Congo. He said: "It makes sense. People in the mining area often clashed for resources."

"Are there many guns in the Democratic Republic of Congo?" Chen Ling asked.

Tang Yongyue said: "The government stipulates that civilians cannot have guns, but in fact it is not strictly controlled, guns are flooded, and guns will be fired during conflict. Dead people are commonplace."

At this moment, a few cars suddenly braked outside the hospital, and then a group of people carried a few wounded into the hospital.

Almost everyone in this group was armed with guns, and the wounded they carried were bleeding and ticking to the ground.

"Doctor! Nurse!" The hospital was suddenly noisy.

The staff in the hospital seemed to take it off, and soon came up to take over the wounded.

Tang Yongyue got up and took a look at the entrance of the reception room, then closed the door and said, "These people are all mine guards, and there must be another conflict."

The door of the reception room was slammed open, and a black mine guard stepped on boots stopped at the door, with a gun on his neck and blood on his body.

"This place belongs to us, you all go out!"
