Chapter 23: Sudden Event (Seeking Collections and Recommendations)

  Laim was initially surprised, how did Ye Zhongliang end up in Baghdad? But it was just a fleeting thought, and he suddenly remembered that Ye Zhongliang had come to the Chinese Embassy in Iraq on official business. Before the outbreak of the Iraq War, for safety reasons, all embassy personnel were evacuated back to China. After the war, Iraq was in chaos, and the embassy was looted by thieves, who stole everything of value, including air conditioners, doors and windows, even the toilet and bathtub from the ambassador's bathroom, and even the ceramic tiles on the walls. The entire embassy had become a garbage dump. In order to resume diplomatic work in Iraq as soon as possible, Ye Zhongliang was dispatched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to lead an investigation team to scout out the situation and assess the damage to the embassy.

  The situation made him recall today's...

  Period. Today is October 3rd, 2003.

  It appears that today, terrorists will launch an attack on the Hilton Hotel at 4:28 pm. First, a donkey cart stops in front of the Hilton Hotel, and the terrorist removes the camouflage from the donkey cart and uses the rocket launcher on the donkey cart to fire at the Hilton Hotel

  Four rockets were fired, followed by a white sedan loaded with explosives crashing into the Sheraton Hotel in this suicide

  The big explosion injured more than 150 people, and I don't remember if there were any Chinese casualties. This is mainly because Iraq has had too many terrorist attacks, and it's hard to recall them all from past lives. If historical events repeat themselves,

  The situation will be extremely severe. If the Hilton Hotel explodes, Ye Zhongliang's investigation team will inevitably suffer casualties. Laimu looked at his Rolex, 4:20, still 8 minutes, the attack was about to happen. Laimu sweated profusely, "Ka" stepped on the brake, emergency braking.

  The M16 rifle on the truck was tossed to Liu Hu Zi: "Prepare for battle!"

  "Ah... what's going on?" Liu Hu Zi didn't understand.

  "There are

  "Get back! Get back now! Go back to the restaurant and don't come out! Nobody is allowed to come out!"??Seeing Laim's ferocious appearance, Ye Zhongliang was annoyed in his heart. Where did this American soldier come from? How dare he be so arrogant? I am a Chinese diplomat, what qualifications do you have as an American soldier to shout and scold people? A young secretary under him was even more unwilling to suffer, frowning coldly and saying: "This is Iraq, not the United States. Why should we listen to your orders?" Standing at the door of the restaurant, he put on a look that said he didn't care about Laim's attitude.

  "Damn you, don't you dare to harm others?" With a gun pressed against the secretary's lower back, he kicked him inside. Seeing the American military leader holding a gun, Ye Zhongliang's eyes flashed with anger, waving his hand to signal the secretary to tolerate it. Iraq had become an American territory, and good men don't take advantage of the situation, so he glared at Laim fiercely and led the investigation team back into the restaurant.

  Laim returned to the Hummer and observed the surroundings. The streets were bustling with cars, and from the direction of the Hummer, a donkey cart was indeed coming towards the Xilaideng Restaurant, "clattering" along. The donkey cart was loaded with palm tree branches, and there were three people dressed in Arabic attire on it. One person sat at the front of the cart, holding a whip to drive the donkey, while the other two sat on top of the palm tree branches, seemingly enjoying the scenery.

  "Watch out! There's another white sedan!" Laim shouted to Liu Huizi, raising his gun and firing a burst of bullets at the donkey cart. With the sound of gunfire, the two people on top of the palm tree branches were hit and fell under the donkey cart. The driver was injured in the shoulder and quickly jumped off the cart, trying to hide behind it, but Liu Huizi shot him in the head.

  Liu Huizi was initially shocked and didn't understand why Laim suddenly attacked the donkey cart, but he thought that Laim must have had a reason for doing so. Moreover, this person was his boss...

  Here is the translation:

  "Brother, just met and threw a million dollars, where can I find such a good thing? So, Lime's gun pointed to where he was going to put it. The donkey was knocked down by Liu Hu Zi's bullets, leaning against the car handle, panting heavily. The streets of Saadoun were in chaos, pedestrians panicked and ran wildly, several cars also like headless flies, screeching sounds, horn sounds, people's shouting voices echoed through the street. In this chaos, a white small sedan "squeaked" sharply, speeding over from a corner. The driver of the small sedan was extremely skilled, like a racing car in an American movie, speeding at over 100 yards per second, rushing wildly in the traffic flow, hitting a running pedestrian and overtaking several cars, soon to be approaching. The small sedan was a typical suicidal attack, its target clearly aimed at the Hilton Hotel. Just as the small sedan turned towards the Hilton Hotel, Lime's gun fired, a burst of bullets flew over, the windshield shattered, splashing a piece of blood red. At the same time, Liu Hu Zi's gun also went crazy..."

  Bang. The right wheel was hit by a bullet and went flat. The car flipped over to one side, with the two wheels still spinning in mid-air. Lime and Liu rushed forward again, firing a burst at the driver's cabin.

  The people in the car were dead. The battle was very short, only a few minutes. The gunfire alerted a US military patrol unit in the distance. Two armored patrol cars came over, and more than ten US soldiers jumped out of the car. The leading US captain saw General Lehm's rank and saluted, asking: "Sir, what happened?" "It's over." Lehm put his gun back in the car and ordered the captain to check the sedan and the donkey cart, handle the scene, and then write a report to headquarters. There was only one driver in the white sedan, full of bullet holes.

  It is blood, from head to

  The whole car was riddled with bullet holes. The front passenger seat and the back seat were packed with explosives. The palm tree branches on the donkey cart had been removed by the US military, revealing a rocket launcher and eight rockets inside. The US soldiers were shocked, not to mention the rocket launcher, but even if the small car full of explosives exploded, it would have caused hundreds of casualties. Liu Huizi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looking at the Holiday Inn restaurant, fortunately, Laim had blocked this attack, otherwise, those compatriots would not have been able to escape unscathed. Liu Huizi gave Laim a thumbs up, "Impressive." But he couldn't figure out how Laim knew that there was a rocket launcher hidden in the donkey cart? And also, before the small car appeared, how did he know that there was a small car full of explosives coming to carry out an explosion attack? Laim smiled slightly and looked at the Holiday Inn restaurant, saying: "Let's go inside and say hello to our Chinese friends." He walked into the Holiday Inn with Liu Huizi. The lobby of the restaurant was in chaos, people were discussing the sudden event in groups of three or five. When they saw Laim enter, several Western journalists came over to interview him. Laim pointed outside and smiled, saying: "It's safe now, you can go out and take pictures." The journalists rushed out. Ye Zhongliang and others were talking in the coffee shop, Laim walked up to Ye Zhongliang, stretched out his hand, and said in Chinese: "Mr. Ye, hello." Ye Zhongliang was taken aback, surprised that this US military officer could speak Chinese, he stood up...

  He shook hands with Rhyme, with a strong sense of vigilance, and said indifferently: "You... know me?"
