Chapter 426: Minor Injury
Cheng Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
What Brother Lan said is the correct answer.
If Brother Lan gives the wrong answer, there are two possibilities.
1. It is not convenient for him to speak at the moment and he is being forced and held hostage;
Second, he is not Jiang Qilan.
Modern AI human voice simulation technology is quite mature - it is difficult to distinguish true from false by human ears.
After confirming his identity, Cheng Ling asked three questions in quick succession: "Where are you now? Who is around you? Are you injured?"
——What Jiang Qilan just said is: I am safe now.
In other words, he was not safe in the past period of time.
Jiang Qilan answered one by one: "I am in a residential house in the northwest of country Y. I have an Indian friend beside me. I... suffered a slight injury." Jiang Qilan's voice was hoarse.
Cheng Ling's heart sank.
Jiang Qilan is a rigorous person.
If it was really a small wound, he would answer politely, where and what kind of wound it was.
Now I only say that I am injured, but refuse to say it clearly...
"Brother Lan, if you don't make it clear, I will leave for the airport now." Cheng Ling said, "You know, I always tell the truth."
Jiang Qilan felt that the confusion, anger, confusion, fatigue and pain of the past few days had all disappeared without a trace.
"Ling'er, it's really all minor injuries. It's just all over the body. The torso, limbs and other places were scratched by the rocks. The little finger bone of the right hand was fractured. The tiger's mouth of the left hand was cut open..."
"real?"
"Really." Jiang Qilan held the phone tightly.
It's nice to hear her voice.
He imagined Cheng Ling worrying about him, and an urge to see her emerged in his heart.
Cheng Ling, who was on the other end of the phone, finally let go of her worries.
She took her mobile phone and walked a little farther away from the set.
As she walked, she said, "Brother Lan, I'm looking for someone to pick up those people who escaped from Golden Island."
"It's really you! I heard them say that they didn't find the fugitives, and they didn't find any wreckage. Even the traces of more than thirty ships were gone..."
Jiang Qilan guessed that someone might have rescued these poor people.
In the text message, he did mention this matter to Cheng Ling, but he did not ask her to do anything.
Because she is thousands of miles away and beyond reach.
Asking her for help is really too much.
Unexpectedly, she actually has a way!
"I didn't save them. I asked someone to help me - that gypsy aunt Saya from Country G whom I mentioned to you." Cheng Ling simply stated, "I asked Saya to watch them and not contact the outside world for the time being. They are currently hiding in a mine in country G. "
"I asked Saiya to trick those people, but they didn't know much... Brother Lan, what have you experienced on this trip? And Nolan, how is he? Is he still alive? "
Jiang Qilan dared to call him so confidently and boldly, which meant that Nolan must not be with him.
"Nolan—" Jiang Qilan repeated, "It turns out his name is Nolan."
"Nolan Lampson. He used to be my vice team captain. He is now the captain." Cheng Ling said, "It is also his credit that your mother was able to successfully return to China."
"It's actually him!" Jiang Qilan was quite surprised.
I will definitely thank him properly the next time we meet.
"Where are the others?"
"Nolan was picked up by his master." Jiang Qilan said, "His mission in country Y this time was purely accidental. His master learned that his mission was not completed and immediately sent a ship to take him back to the country."
Master...Amos?
"Let me think about where to start..." Jiang Qilan thought for a moment, "From the moment I set foot on Country Y, I realized that I was being followed."
Jiang Qilan briefly and concisely highlighted the key points, how he went to the [No Way Out] bar, how he met Yukari Kasai, how Nolan stepped in to save him, and invited him to go to the Golden Island together.
How the two arranged their plans, acted separately, etc.
They kept talking until they got on the luxury yacht.
"After arriving in the room, he actually asked me: How did you meet Cheng Ling?"
Cheng Ling was surprised.
Then, she immediately reacted: "Did the toy I gave you have a flaw?"
"Yes." Jiang Qilan said, "He said he gave you a box of unmarked Swiss Army knives——"
"Brother Lan, how did you answer him?"
"I said we met by chance in the MH war zone."
"Smart!" Cheng Ling praised, "Did he tell you what he saw in the red house?"
"I told you," Jiang Qilan's voice was a little hoarse.
He picked up the cup to moisten his throat and continued, "Say, he said he saw three people worshiping a gold sculpture, and the sculpture was engraved with the emblem of the United Freemasons."
Cheng Ling narrowed his eyes.
Behind the Golden Island is indeed the United Freemasonry.
"Then, what did he do?" Cheng Ling asked.
Jiang Qilan drank all the water in the cup and pursed his lips: "He didn't do anything. But he picked up a badge on the beach outside the collection house."
"Badge?!" Cheng Ling's eyes widened.
Could it be the priceless badge of the United Freemasonry?
