Chapter 1589 Race Against Time

The call was connected, but Xia Ruofei heard a huge noise coming from the handset of the mobile phone, and the whirring sound kept ringing.

Xia Ruofei couldn't help frowning secretly, thinking that this American is also a billionaire, why is his mobile phone so bad!

But he didn't bother to pay attention to this now, and asked directly in English: "Is it Charlie Koch?"

"Huhu...I...it's inconvenient now...huhu...answer! A little later...huhu...for you... come back...huhu!"

There were intermittent sounds from the phone, mixed with loud wind noise.

Xia Ruofei could barely hear what the other party said, but after the other party finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Xia Ruofei couldn't help being a little embarrassed. He wanted to try to see if he could take a shortcut, but he didn't expect this Yankee to be such a bad thing, and he was his savior anyway! Turn around and don't recognize it?

Fortunately, Xia Ruofei didn't talk to Luo Qingfeng and Zhang Chao before calling just now, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.

Since this Charlie is unreliable, Xia Ruofei gave up the idea of ​​taking shortcuts, and secretly decided in his heart that after Iswatland, find a secluded place to put the arms in the space, and then bring Luo Qingfeng with him. , to find out the situation of the Gulf Group, give their top management a pot, and solve the problem once and for all.

So, Xia Ruofei put away the phone, leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.

...

At this point, near the sea where the yacht sank last night, Charlie Koch was just hoisted into the first rescue helicopter that arrived at the scene with the help of rescuers.

After the rescuers confirmed his identity, they were very excited - this is a billionaire! And because the American society has great influence, after receiving his distress message last night, a large number of rescue forces began to rush to this sea area. On the one hand, this person's identity is too prominent, and all parties attach great importance to him, for fear that he will die at sea. On the other hand, everyone knows that whoever rescues him first will mean a super rich reward, and maybe he will flourish in the future. .

And now, they can confirm that it is their rescue team that has taken the lead.

Several professional rescue ships set off at the same time last night, but this sea area is too far from the mainland of the United States, so after rushing all night, there is still no rescue ship reaching the coordinates of the distress signal.

However, the rescue boats are equipped with advanced rescue helicopters.

The search radius can be greatly expanded.

Although there are signal transmitters that continuously send out the position coordinates, this coordinate can only confirm a general range. In the vast sea, it takes some luck to search for a lifeboat as small as the target.

And the luck of this rescue helicopter is obviously good. They found Charlie Koch directly on their first sortie flight, and even they themselves couldn't believe it.

It was not until the rescuers lowered the cable and brought Charlie Koch to the helicopter that everyone finally confirmed that they had indeed rescued Charlie Koch.

The captain of the helicopter immediately radioed the rescue ship a message that the rescue was successful—after all, there are several rescue forces operating at the same time at sea, and at least six or seven helicopters are searching in the nearby waters. Now people have been rescued, and the others The rescue force can naturally return, and the rescue ship to which the helicopter belongs must go all out to prepare, including the medical staff, psychiatrist, etc. on board, as well as some living support facilities.

Charlie's mind is actually quite calm. To be honest, he doesn't have the ecstasy of the rest of his life-because this feeling of ecstasy has already appeared last night, and now he has recovered his calm.

As for floating at sea waiting for rescue, in fact, Charlie knows very well that it is a high probability event for the rescue team to find himself. The difference is only a matter of time. The supplies he has on the lifeboat are enough to support him for many days, so it is sooner or later for him. Not a big deal.

What Charlie is thinking about now is how to deal with the curiosity of the public and the media after returning to the United States. After all, when he went to sea this time, everyone except himself died in the sea. of a tragedy.

After sitting in the rescue helicopter and strapping on his seat belt, Charlie thought of a satellite call he had just received while he was being hoisted from the lifeboat to the helicopter with the help of the rescue team.

At that time, he was hanging in the air with a hovering helicopter above his head, and his ears were filled with the whirring of the wind, and he couldn't hear the voice on the phone at all, but he knew that most of the people who could make this call were People close to him, so he told the other party that he would call back when it was convenient for him, and he hung up after he finished speaking - after all, in that situation, he couldn't hear what the other party said at all.

Now settled in the helicopter, the pilot has driven the helicopter back, and soon he will be able to board the rescue ship and return to the continental United States. It can be said that he is basically safe now.

Charlie relaxed a little, so he picked up the satellite phone, ready to check who was calling just now.

The satellite phone showed that the call was transferred through his personal mobile phone, that is to say, the other party was calling his private mobile phone, because there was no signal and it was automatically transferred to the satellite phone.

Private mobile phone numbers, even fewer people know.

Charlie naturally paid more attention to it. He looked at the incoming call number recorded by the satellite phone, but found that it was a completely unfamiliar number, not even a common number in the United States.

When Charlie saw the number, he was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a jerk all over, thinking of a possibility.

He quickly dialed a number from his satellite phone. It was the cell phone number of his confidant, Pelt.

"God! Boss, are you okay now?" Peelt asked excitedly after answering the call.

Charlie didn't want to talk nonsense with Pelt, and said directly: "I'm already on the rescue helicopter. Now there is something you need to do for me right away. It's urgent!"

"Boss, please tell me!" Pelt said quickly.

"I can't connect to the Internet right now, you help me find out where a phone number belongs!" Charlie said.

"No problem! Please give me your number!" said Pelt.

"8613..." Charlie stopped suddenly after reporting a few numbers, and said solemnly, "Pelt, remember, don't look up any information about this number, just confirm where it belongs! Also, don't ask for any information about this number! Anyone leaking this phone number!"

"Understood!" said Pelt without hesitation.

Charlie then reported the phone number he just recorded to Pelt.

In fact, the phone numbers in mainland China will display the international dialing code starting with 86 when making international calls, but this is a series of numbers connected together, and Charlie is busy with business every day, so he will not remember the dialing code of Huaxia. So he couldn't confirm it, so he asked Peelt to check it first.

After reporting the number, Charlie said, "Check it out now, don't hang up!"

"Boss, I'm already inquiring..." Peerte said while opening the search engine on his laptop to search, "I found it! Boss, this number is the number in mainland China. Only calls from mainland China can make international calls. For long distances, the international dialing code of 86 is displayed before the number."

"God..." Charlie couldn't help muttering after hearing this.

Peelt was startled and asked quickly, "Boss, what happened?"

"It's okay! Let's talk when I get back!" Charlie said. "Remember, you must keep the number I asked you to look up strictly confidential, and it's best to forget it from now on!"

"I see, boss!" said Pelt.

Charlie hung up the phone in a hurry, and then immediately found the number that Xia Ruofei dialed from the satellite phone, and called back the first time, while stroking his forehead, he said to himself: "Damn it. I actually hung up on him, damn..."

The rescue team sitting opposite was also shocked when they saw it, thinking that Charlie was uncomfortable, and quickly asked: "Mr. Koch! What's the problem? Do you need my help?"

Charlie Koch quickly waved his hand, put his index finger on his lips, and made a silent gesture to the rescue team, because he heard the other party's mobile phone ringing on the phone.

...

Xia Ruofei was still on his way to Iswatland at this time. After the phone vibrated, he took a look and found that it was an unfamiliar number, and the long series of numbers seemed very strange-he called Charlie just now. The cell phone number left for him, and Charlie called back from the satellite phone.

Xia Ruofei's number is rarely used. He will only use it when he is in the identity of Xia Xia. He is usually turned off most of the time, and there are very few people who know this number, so his first reaction is to make harassing calls. After all, the number looked like the number of an information station that had been altered with software.

But he thought about it, and still answered: "Hello, who is it?"

Charlie was sitting in the rescue helicopter. At this time, he had connected the satellite phone to the noise-cancelling headphones on the helicopter, so he could hear it very clearly. He was almost certain that this young voice was the same Dongfang who fell from the sky and saved his life last night. Fairy voice.

Charlie couldn't help trembling and asked: "Hello, I'm Charlie Koch, may I ask if you are Dongfang..."

Speaking of this, Charlie stopped abruptly, because there were several rescue team members in the cabin, and he definitely couldn't leak the story of the Oriental Immortal.

Just when Charlie was in a dilemma, Xia Ruofei on the other end of the phone said directly: "It's me, you guessed right!"

Then Xia Ruofei immediately asked: "Are you inconvenient to speak now?"

Charlie said quickly: "It's okay! It's okay! If you have any orders, please say so!"

Although the rescue team sitting across from him couldn't hear what Charlie was saying because of the loud noise in the cabin, he could see Charlie's formal and respectful attitude, and he couldn't help but secretly amazed - this man has played an important role in the United States. The influence of , and the net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars, that is the absolute top tycoon! Who else can make such a big guy make such a humble gesture?

Charlie looked at the rescue team on the opposite side and covered his mouth with his hand subconsciously. He didn't want these people to see the shape of his mouth.

In fact, it is indeed inconvenient for him to speak now. After all, the affairs of the Oriental Immortal must not be known by outsiders, otherwise he would not know whether the Immortal would be unhappy. But at this time, the other party took the initiative to call and contact him. Obviously, there was something for him to do. He didn't want to go along and say that it was inconvenient to talk now, and he would contact him later.

In front of the immortals, how could he dare to be slighted in the slightest!

But Xia Ruofei could hear it. He smiled and said, "Charlie, I heard a lot of noise next to you. You should have been rescued. Are you on the rescue plane now?"

"Yes!" said Charlie respectfully, "there's nothing to hide from you!"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "That's alright! I'm not so anxious about it. Just wait for your plane to land! Just find a place where no one is around and call me back."

Charlie was slightly relieved, and said quickly, "No problem, I just want to trouble you to wait a moment!"

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, and then hung up the phone directly.

on the rescue helicopter.

Charlie held the satellite phone and was silent for a few seconds before he gradually calmed down. He switched the noise-cancelling headphones on his head to the in-cabin call mode, and said, "Mr. Captain, please speed up your flight, I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I need to deal with it as soon as I land!"

The captain said quickly: "Okay, Mr. Koch! I will fly to the highest speed as soon as conditions permit!"

"How long does it take to get to the rescue ship?" Charlie asked.

"About forty-five minutes for normal flight." The captain replied, "If you are in a hurry, I can try to arrive within half an hour."

"Very good!" said Charlie Koch. "If you can go faster in half an hour, I'll give you a million dollars for every minute of advance! Mr. Captain, fly back as far as you can. !"

The captain froze for a moment, and then immediately said excitedly: "No problem! Mr. Koch, please fasten your seat belt. The next flight may be less comfortable!"

"OK!" said Charlie Koch.

Next, he felt the nose of the helicopter sink slightly, and then the speed suddenly increased a little.

For the rest of the voyage, Charlie Koch held the satellite phone tightly in his hand, looking out the porthole almost every few seconds to see if the rescue ship was in sight.

Not even a second had passed, and he felt that the pressure had increased by one point, because the immortal Lord was waiting for him to call back! It would be a sin to make Lord Immortal wait one more second!

Finally, after flying for more than 20 minutes, Charlie Koch saw a rescue ship appearing not far below the plane, and the "H" sign on the white helipad on the deck was clearly visible...
