In Durban, South Africa, Li Fu and Yu Ming were watching news and news reports in the hotel.! When Ye Ye, president of the Nebula Division, and four others were seized by local militias when negotiating mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo was a country with chaotic armed forces. This manganese ore ore mine originally belonged to a certain tribe, but nearby warlords attacked a certain tribe and divided the manganese ore into their own area. The warlords asked Ye Ye to go to negotiate and reprice. Ye Ye's Nebula Company invested a lot of money in this manganese ore mine, so they could only go there with a tough head. According to the contact of the South African Embassy, ​​the warlords offered a price of 7 million US dollars. When the money came, the mine was still from the Nebula Company. The money was not received, and the people were not released.

This was a kidnapping under the guise of a commercial dispute. Li Fu had a newspaper on his hand. When he saw this newspaper, the two decided not to go to the town for the time being and read the latest news reports in the evening. Yu Ming lay on the bed and pondered, and Li Fu comforted: "It is possible to bargain, and the South African government and the KDP are working hard."

Yu Ming looked at Li Fu: "Li Fu, what is the financial situation of Xingyun Company?"

"Debt." Li Fu said: "Because of purchasing the purchase rights of this manganese ore, Nebula Company borrowed $5 million from the bank. Most of the equipment was invested in the early stage, and Nebula Company was relatively small in scale. They only gave the tribe 500,000 US dollars to purchase the 30-year mining rights. And the 500,000 is paid in five years. The bank believes that the investment risk of the Democratic Republic of Congo is high and does not allow Nebula Company to use the mortgage loans of the Democratic Republic of Congo for minerals, so Nebula Company's current capital flow is relatively embarrassing."

Yu Ming asked: "It means, can't Xingyun Company afford this money?"

"Yes." Li Fu read the news and reported that the company's vice president is actively negotiating with the warlords and is currently preparing to use two other minerals to mortgage the bank for loans, but most of the board of directors do not agree to do so. They believe that with the efforts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the South African government, the matter can still be resolved perfectly.

The news ended, then the news of the South African strike, and finally the weather forecast. Yu Ming didn't say anything after reading the weather forecast. Li Fu was very patient and did not interfere with Yu Ming's thoughts. After a long time, Yu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, I'll pay."

Li Fu asked in surprise: "Seven million US dollars?" Where did Yu Ming find so much money?

Yu Ming said: "I estimate that the amount of $3 million should be taken down."

"But you don't have three million?" Li Fu said: "I... I'll contact Xu Wen."

"No, I'll deal with my business." Yu Ming called and walked to the bathroom: "Mr. Du, I want to borrow money from you..."

A few minutes later, Yu Ming came out and said, "I have contacted Deng Xiaomu. Deng Xiaomu notified the vice president, and the vice president asked me to transfer the money to his account first."

Li Fu asked: "Have you transferred?"

"How could it be possible to be careful about sailing a ten thousand-year-old ship, Yu Ming said: "I asked to go to the Democratic Republic of Congo in person, and he said he would arrange it."

Li Fu nodded and asked, "What did Mr. Du say?"

"He asked about the situation and then agreed." Yu Ming was a little moved: "Mr. Du is a good person."

Li Fu was a little surprised: "I think Mr. Du is a saint." It was three million US dollars at least, and I didn't even give the IOU directly, so how courageous it would take.

Yu Ming said: "Li Fu, the Democratic Republic of Congo is a bit dangerous, so don't go. That... I want to ask you for something."

"No, I have to go together." Li Fu said: "We are friends, and I am an American citizen. The warlords dare not kidnap me."

"What logic?" Yu Ming asked.

Li Fu explained: "Xu Wen's father is very familiar with several senators. If I were kidnapped, it is very likely that the US military would take some measures. Moreover, the US military has peacekeeping forces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, so it is safer for me to go together."

"Thank you." Yu Ming patted Li Fu on the shoulder.

"You helped me." Li Fu asked, "What did you just say please let me know?"

"Since there is a SEAL as a backer, I don't think it's necessary to ask." Yu Ming said: "By the way, is the SEAL so awesome in the movie?"

Li Fu said: "You are not as clear as me. The warlords in the KMT basically have no religious background. They are warlords for the sake of interests. There is no need for any commando. The United States will put pressure on military attacks, and I think it can achieve the goal. But if they are in the Middle East, it may backfire. So there will be no real force attack."

The news about Nebula Company is not a headline or is not eye-catching. There are many reports on the first day, but only found on the third page of the newspaper the next day. It must be because there is no progress.

On the fourth day, Yu Ming and Li Fu took a plane to the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The vice president was a South African black man in his forties. He had already obtained relevant documents. Everyone did not delay and drove to the mine site. The control scope of the Congo government was very small, and many militias could be seen along the way. The documents held by Yu Ming and others were journalists issued by the United Nations. The investigations they encountered on the road did not make things difficult for them. This was also attributed to the guidance of the money sent. Although it was not much, only a few dozen dollars, the militia were already very happy.

The vice president introduced: "I have been here twice, but the other party is very tough and insists on asking Nebula Company to compensate for the losses plundered before. By the way, you said you were sent by Mr. Ye's son, Mr. Ye's son..."

Yu Ming said: "Mr. Ye's son was adopted by a rich man. After learning about this, he immediately raised a sum of money."

The vice president asked: "No, Nebula is not a big company. This kind of news is not a big news. How could Mr. Ye's son know about this in China?"

"Well... Chinese media is very awesome." Yu Mingshun edited: "There is no way bad things happening anywhere in the world, they all know."

"Oh, so that's it." The vice president nodded: "We're coming soon, remember, don't look them in the eyes, otherwise you'll be considered impolite."

The car was parked at the entrance of the village. There were not many people in the village. Two militiamen in worn-out clothes, holding AK, and asked in local language. The guide answered one by one. The militia was released, whistled, and a child ran to report the news. The car drove to the center of the village. Yu Ming got out of the car and looked around. A group of very lazy militias were smoking and chatting with guns, and there was not even a person who was formally standing guard. Except for the command department entrance.

The command center is a two-story house. Two people in military uniforms stand, and the guards stop a few people and search the people behind them. Entering inside is a simple command center with a marching map hanging on the wall. This is a real local map, not the Fourth Field Army.

A thick black man was wearing a military uniform, with a medal hanging on his chest and a red beret, probably a warlord, and there were low-ranking officers and four guards in military uniforms next to him.!

The vice president went up to shake hands: "General Kanke..."

The warlord's face was smelly and did not shake hands at all, saying, "I have already said it very clearly. You have plundered our wealth, and we just want to bring back our wealth."

The vice president bowed: "General, our company is a small company."

"The capital state plunders our wealth and our labor...

"Don't brag." Yu Ming said: "Talking about business directly, three million US dollars, a single price, no more."

Li Fujitsu stopped at Ming and stepped forward and said, "We are American citizens, we only have three million dollars, which is all our money."

"American?" the warlord asked: "Did you bring the money?"

Yu Ming asked: "Satellite phone transfer, but I want to see them first."

The warlord waved his head and the two soldiers left. About ten minutes later, four people were taken in. Ye Ye had wounds and blood on his forehead, and he obviously suffered some pain. The warlord said: "Money."

"account number."

A low-level officer handed over a cell phone. Yu Ming took out his cell phone, entered his account number, and then transferred the money. The satellite phone was convenient. The officer smiled and showed it to the warlords. The warlord nodded and waved: "You can leave now."

Yu Ming said: "Let's go?"

Ye Ye suddenly straightened his chest: "We won't leave."

"What does it mean?" Yu Ming was stunned.

Li Fu looked left and right, and the vice president and guide left them, stood beside the warlord and whispered: "It's a little wrong."

"Haha." A voice came from the second floor: "International independent investigator, but that's it."

A young white man appeared. Yu Ming looked at the second floor and the foreigner who was playing Chinese chess came down. The vice president brought Simon a chair. Simon was satisfied with the account and sat down and said, "Sit up for two." The money had been transferred without a trace.

Li Fu asked: "Who are you?"

Yu Ming whispered: "Spider, I've been trapped."

Simon smiled and said, "It is undeniable that Yu Ming, you are very careful. But why do you think the FBI laboratory can stop us? The only surprise is that you asked to come in person. There is no way. We have been preparing for two days in urgent need, and we can barely deal with it, right?"

Yu Ming was not excited or angry. He was very good at restraining his emotions. He sat down and asked, "Why? As far as I know, spiders will not be enemies with international independent investigators."

"No, we only promise not to use violence." Simon muttered: "You made me lose a big person, you had a great time having fun. Why do you think I wouldn't have any counterattack?"

"Impossible." Yu Ming shook his head: "Impossible. How could you know my life experience in just a few days?"

Simon nodded: "You are right. We do not have the ability to do this, especially in China. But you don't know one thing, not only I pay attention to you, but also people pay attention to you. Your computer has long been installed with a Trojan, and the communication between you and your adoptive father has been controlled by the other party."

Yu Ming was shocked: "No way?"

“Fruit Alliance, you know.

A member of the Fruit Alliance named Durian died in Europe. Two of them were assassinated by mysterious people when they kidnapped Miss Du Qingqing. The Fruit Alliance was hit hard. They also learned that their strength was not enough. I don’t know how they used to contact us. We are very happy with the information they sent and agreed to send instructors to conduct various training for their new and old members." Simon smiled and said, "That's right, Yu Ming, you are not only me, but our entire organization. Spiders have never been defeated. This is not purely a matter between you and me, but a contest between the Spiders and the International Independent Investigators. You and I are just standing at the forefront."

Yu Ming asked in surprise: "Why did the Fruit Alliance spy on me?"

"I know the reason, but unfortunately, I can't tell you. I can only tell you that the adoptive father you contacted later were all impersonated by computer experts in the Fruit Alliance." Simon asked: "What else do you have?"

Yu Ming asked: "Is everything Ye Ye fake?"

"Yes, we are willing to spend money and hire a lot of people. Don't underestimate them, they are all professional actors." Simon laughed: "In fact, it's easy to deceive you. You have lost your subjective judgment. We did a lot of work to deal with your friends. But to be honest, I overestimated his ability."

Li Fu asked: "Why are there Nebula companies in newspapers and news?"

"This is my most proud method... Yu Ming, do you understand?" Simon looked at Yu Ming with great interest.

Yu Ming sighed: "Because we are watching satellite TV, you inserted it with the recorded programs. As for the newspaper, I'm afraid you have printed a lot of copies and placed them in our event area."

"Bingo, right." Simon applauded: "I'm very happy, don't be so discouraged. The current score is 1:1. Of course, I lost 100,000 US dollars, and you lost 3 million US dollars. But you have to consider labor costs and venue fees. You see, these AKs are real, and we have invested a lot of money."

Yu Mingshen sighed and asked, "Can I see your true face?"

"Yu Ming, we don't plan to hurt you." Simon asked: "What else is there? If there is no problem, I won't leave you for dinner, you can leave."

Yu Ming stood up and took out a plastic bag from his pocket, which had a hair inside. Simon was a little sad and regretfully said, "I'm sorry, I admit that it hurts you a lot, but this is the game, there are winners and losers."

Yu Ming asked: "Is this girl really called Judy?"

Simon nodded: "Yes, it's really called Judy. Yu Ming, Chinese saying: Failure is the mother of success. Why don't we play a game of chess? Give you a chance to turn the tables? Haha."

Li Fu was a little angry: "I'm sorry, are you too much?"

"Is it too much?" Simon smiled and said, "Why don't you think he's too much when he plays with me? Three million US dollars, alas... Yu Ming, why don't I help you get a Democratic Republic of Congo, will you escape debt?" Simon put on a chair on his feet and took out a cigar and said, "I call it the Victor Cigar."
