Chapter 246 Emergencies
Due to the Indonesian government's "resolute" action, the situation gradually tended to calm down. The US government and the British government who followed it were ambiguous. Labels such as disasters of communism, and even Zhang Lexing's proposal to sanction Indonesia with the help of Visual System Group and Universal Entertainment Group, encountered resistance in Congress and fell into a vortex of quarrels.Just at this moment, an unexpected event happened, which led the whole thing to another direction.

On the night of May 5th, the situation in Indonesia began to stabilize on the surface, and the interview teams sent by the media from various countries learned that there were fewer and fewer violent incidents. The latest situation report that Zhang Lexing saw also proved this point. At this time, a sudden phone call broke the tranquility of the night.

"Boss, it's not good, one of our employees is missing in Indonesia!" As soon as Zhang Lexing answered the phone, Dai Shihua's anxious voice came from the receiver.

"What!" Zhang Lexing became anxious when he heard it: "Didn't we withdraw all the company's staff stationed in Indonesia last month, and didn't send anyone out this time. Why did someone disappear inexplicably? Didn't they send out relevant information?" Warning, have you reminded the employees of the companies under the group not to go to Indonesia in the near future?"

"We didn't send it out, she went by herself, but we are not responsible for ignoring the company's warning." Dai Shihua explained, maybe he thought that Zhang Lexing was worried about the impact of the disappearance of the staff on the group.

"Damn now is not the time to discuss who is responsible." Zhang Lexing couldn't help but growl, and then said in a slightly slower tone: "What I want to know now is, who is the missing employee? How did he go to Indonesia? Is the missing person alive or dead?"

After being yelled at head-on, Dai Shihua couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, but fortunately Zhang Lexing's words behind him seemed much calmer, and he calmed down a little, and began to explain the matter in detail: "Boss, the situation is like this... "

The missing person is He Wanping, a female employee of the Market Development Department of Shuxiang Newspaper. She is usually in charge of the business in Southeast Asia. In fact, she has also received the warning issued by the group, and she was worried about it at first, but Later, seeing that nothing happened, and because her cousin in Indonesia was about to get married, she took her annual leave and flew from Hong Kong to Indonesia, intending to attend her cousin’s wedding. In order to reduce the trouble of asking for leave, she did not say that she would go to Indonesia, but I took leave in the name of planning to go to Maldives for vacation.

The wedding of He Wanping's cousin is scheduled to be held on May 5. She called her family in Hong Kong the night before, and she didn't say too long. That was the last time He Wanping's mother Zheng Cuiting heard her voice.The next morning, Zheng Cuiting called Indonesia to find out about the wedding and asked her daughter when she would return to Hong Kong, but no one answered. No answer or no connection at all, she couldn't help feeling a bit ominous.In the afternoon of that day, Zheng Cuiting accidentally saw the news of the riots in Indonesia on TV. Looking at the bloody photo on the screen, she passed out on the spot.In the evening, He Wanping's father, elder brother and others returned home one after another. Zheng Cuiting asked them to verify the authenticity of the news about the riots in Indonesia. fall down.

After finally waking Zheng Cuiting up, she choked and told about He Wanping's loss of contact. He Wanping's father and elder brother also panicked, and hurriedly tried to call Indonesia again, but the result was still the same.He Wanping's family members couldn't help but fell into great fear. Although they didn't want to think about it, they would always involuntarily associate the tragic pictures they saw in newspapers and TV with He Wanping.

The next morning, Zheng Cuiting, who had hardly slept all night, had no choice but to call her daughter's boss, hoping that her daughter's company could help her find it.Only then did Shuxiang Newspaper know that He Wanping, who had taken annual leave, went to Indonesia instead of the Maldives, and had disappeared. He Wanping's boss hurriedly reported the matter to Dai Shihua. .

An accident happened to one of his employees, Dai Shihua didn't dare to neglect, and hurried to find out the situation through his relationship, but because the situation in the past two days was too chaotic, he couldn't find anyone who knew about He Wanping's situation.In the evening, there was finally some news, but it was not good news. According to a neighbor of He Wanping’s cousin’s house, in the early morning of the 13th, a group of thugs rushed into their block and set fire to many The house of He Wanping's cousin happened to be on the list, and he didn't see anyone escape from it until the fire was extinguished.In this situation, Dai Shihua had no other choice, so he had to report the situation to Zhang Lexing.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lexing clicked on the email and opened He Wanping's personal resume in the attachment. A young and beautiful sunny girl smiled at him like a flower in the photo.Zhang Lexing couldn't help but think of the Chinese women who were murdered in the photos and videos seen in the past two days. He Wanping actually disappeared at this moment. Even if she was lucky enough to escape from her cousin's house, what would be waiting for her? , it is not difficult to imagine at all.Thinking of this, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but feel sad for what happened to He Wanping.

At this moment, Chen Zishan walked into the workshop carrying hot milk as usual.She put down the milk, saw the employee resume opened on the screen, and asked curiously, "Le Xing, who is this?"

"The staff of Shuxiang Newspaper disappeared in Indonesia yesterday!" Zhang Lexing said with a sigh, his voice was a little hoarse for some reason.

When Chen Zishan heard the word Indonesia, she suddenly remembered the TV images she saw yesterday morning, and covered her mouth in surprise: "What!"

"It's been 48 hours since I lost contact." Zhang Lexing shook his head and sighed, "It's probably more or less auspicious."

Maybe it was because of the tragic situation that I saw yesterday, maybe it was because of the woman, Chen Zishan unconsciously became concerned about this He Wanping who had never met before: "Le Xing, what are you going to do?"

"Well, I won't give up my employees easily. Maybe I will send someone to look for them there, but I'm still thinking about how to do it."

"Lexing, then you must not take risks by yourself, and go to bed early, and don't forget to drink milk."

After Chen Zishan gave some instructions, she left with a complicated expression. Zhang Lexing was about to consider how to deal with this matter when someone walked in suddenly.Hearing someone coming in, Zhang Lexing turned his head and saw that it was Ma Guanghai.

"Brother Guanghai, is there something wrong?" Zhang Lexing looked at Ma Guanghai with a strange feeling in his heart.

"Boss, I overheard what you said just now. Is someone from our company missing in Indonesia?" Ma Guanghai asked solemnly.

"There is a female employee named He Wanping who has been unable to contact her for 48 hours. It is estimated that the situation is not good."

"Boss, are you going to send someone to look for her?"

"I have this idea, but the situation over there has not really stabilized. It was too dangerous for ordinary people in the past, but this kind of thing needs to be handled by reliable people, so I haven't figured out how to deal with it. "

"Boss, let me go."

"You? In such a dangerous place, how can you do it alone? I don't agree!"

"Boss, some time ago a friend of mine recommended a group of retired soldiers from the domestic special forces. I originally planned to arrange them to work as security guards in the country, but they were a bit too talented, but they should be useful for this matter right now."

"Will it be too dangerous? Have you asked them what they mean? Are they willing to participate in such a high-risk operation?" Although Zhang Lexing only learned about the situation in Indonesia through computers and TV, only those pictures and The text already shows the degree of danger over there, especially for the Chinese.

"I have asked their opinions. They are actually more willing to take up some challenging jobs, so I said that they are too talented to stay in the country as security guards."

"So you have already made up your mind," Zhang Lexing looked at the resolute Ma Guanghai and asked, "Then what can I do for you?"

"We need a sum of money to purchase the necessary equipment..." Ma Guanghai said this, with a hesitant look on his face.

"No problem, tell me how much money you need, and I will help you prepare a safe account and store the money in it. In addition, if there is any unexpected situation, I will help you settle it for your family."

"Thank you." Ma Guanghai showed a grateful expression on his face. In fact, according to his original plan, he planned to use his vacation time to quietly go to Indonesia with his comrades who were willing to go with him, and do something for the dead Chinese.But now that there is financial support now, there will definitely be more comrades who are able to go with them, and we can make more preparations.

At this time, Zhang Lexing thought of the French news agency that lost contact, and also thought of all the clues in the incident. He really wanted someone reliable to help him solve his doubts, so he said to Ma Guanghai: "Brother Guanghai, if your ability allows Under the circumstances, I still have two things I want you to investigate."

"Boss, just say it."

"Some time ago, our company commissioned several European and American news agencies to investigate the living conditions of the Chinese in Indonesia. Just in time for this riot, one of the French news agencies had lost contact for three days. The last news they sent was that they had found some Regarding matters related to the local military, we are going to investigate, but there is no more news after that. I will give you the information of their members, and hope that you will investigate their whereabouts when conditions permit."

"Yes, but I also need information about their main activities in the local area, so that it is easy to find out where they are going."

"This is no problem. I will ask people to prepare all the relevant materials. In addition, I feel that this anti-Chinese riot is not the spontaneous behavior of the people as Indonesian officials claim. I suspect that there are people behind it. If If you have conditions, I hope to investigate this matter by the way, and I want to know who is the culprit of this riot."

"Boss, don't worry, even if you don't tell me about this matter, I will investigate it."

"Brother Guanghai, I hope that if you find out who is behind this riot, you will not attack him quietly."

"Boss, what do you mean?"

"I hope that conclusive evidence can be found. Only by letting the culprits get the public punishment they deserve, can the souls of those dead Chinese be comforted, and no one will dare to take advantage of the Chinese in the future."

Ma Guanghai nodded and said, "Boss, I understand, I will try my best to do it."

……

That night, Ma Guanghai started to prepare. On the one hand, he contacted the retired special forces again to determine who could participate in this operation. On the other hand, he learned about equipment procurement through some channels and relationships.By the morning of the 15th, Ma Guanghai had confirmed the list of 12 people for this operation, and also confirmed the preliminary budget for the equipment for this trip. Because it was through an unconventional procurement channel, the price was much more expensive, but it was still higher than Zhang Lexing expected. Much cheaper.

Ma Guanghai is preparing for action, and Zhang Lexing is not idle. First, he personally visited the family members of He Wanping, who was in grief, and told them that he would definitely bring He Wanping back. Then he held a meeting in the morning A large-scale press conference announced that in view of the experience of the Indonesian Chinese and the disappearance of an employee of the group, before the Indonesian government announced the truth of the incident and handed over the murderer, Dongfang Industrial Group and related companies would withdraw all their business in Indonesia. Investment, and call on global Chinese businessmen to refuse any trade relationship with Indonesia until the Indonesian government has made an apology and compensation for this (Chinese anti-Chinese riot).

……

At noon on the day of BJ time, late at night on the 14th Eastern Time in the United States, Congressman John Salazar was awakened by a piercing ringing of the bell as soon as he fell asleep. He went up the stairs, came to the living room, turned on the floor lamp, and picked up the phone that was ringing non-stop.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Salazar?" An anxious voice came from the phone. John Salazar sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"I am, what can I do?" John Salazar replied.

"Your son George Salazar is missing in Indonesia..."

John Salazar only felt a buzzing in his head, and his whole body seemed to lose consciousness, and he couldn't hear the voice from the phone when he was connected. There was only one thought in his mind, "George disappeared in Indonesia."The current chaotic situation in Indonesia may not be clear to ordinary people, but John Salazar is also very clear. The so-called disappearance is often accompanied by death, and it is likely to be a tragic one.

I don't know how long it took, and when John Salazar woke up, there was only a beeping busy tone on the phone. He dropped the phone and fell into the sofa, his mind still in a mess.John Salazar's right hand accidentally touched a piece of paper on the square table. He picked it up and saw that it was a note handed to him in the afternoon, which said "Please be sure to delay the bill on Indonesia... ...".At that time, someone promised him very attractive conditions, and he was a little tempted, but now that he saw this note, only hatred was left in his heart, and he even regretted it. Maybe if the bill had been passed earlier, George would not be missing.

Thinking of this, John Salazar secretly made up his mind that the bill must be passed immediately, and he also planned to personally persuade his friends to support him, and he even planned to use his influence to push the United Nations to send Peacekeepers to Indonesia. "Maybe George is still alive," John Salazar reassured himself: "Maybe these efforts will save his life."

On this night, John Salazar was far more than the only person who received the same call all over the United States. Although their identities were different, they all felt the same sadness and anger towards Indonesia, and this kind of Grief and anger centered around them spread out to their circle of relatives and friends.

On the morning of the 15th Eastern Time, a group of photos of Americans killed in Indonesia appeared on the front page of The New York Times. The Chinese in the United States suddenly found that there were many more fellow travelers, and the Internet was full of curses on Indonesia, and the proposal to sanction and condemn Indonesia was passed at an unprecedented speed.Also on this day, a large number of latest photos of Indonesian atrocities were published on the Internet and in newspapers around the world, some of which even happened yesterday, and a wave of voices sweeping the world condemning Indonesian atrocities gradually took shape. It was even more violent than the one on the 14th. The Indonesian authorities, who thought they had controlled the situation, became anxious again. President Suharto put down his posture and expressed the "goodwill" of the Indonesian government to people everywhere. As for now Whether anyone still believes him, he has completely ignored it.
