Chapter 480: 474, Ren He didn’t die!_1
Many people know about Jamaica probably through events like the Olympics; Jamaica is a powerhouse in sports and has always performed remarkably well in the history of the Olympics.
But most people in China may not be clear that Jamaica is still a British colony to this day, and a member of the British Commonwealth.
Their head of state is the Queen of England, while the Governor of Jamaica is appointed in her name.
This place is part of the Caribbean Sea and has never been very peaceful—90% of the population is African Black, and about 60% of the population is under the age of 29.
Violent conflicts happen often but are still under control; however, there are quite a few gangs have flourished.
Gangs abroad are different from those at home; there simply isn’t fertile ground for the existence of gangs in China. Gangs from China, if taken abroad to places like Jamaica, Taiwan, Italy, Japan, etc., just can’t compare at all.
That’s also why the life safety index for citizens at home is higher than abroad. Many foreign students who study in China find that their most profound impression isn’t how fast China has developed or how profound Chinese culture is.
What impresses them the most is... it’s just so damn safe!
Even in an international city like New York, getting robbed in the suburbs is a common occurrence, while in China, such robbers simply couldn’t survive.
Of course, there are also reasons related to the domestic environmental ecology. If something happens in an area, the local police know which thief to find. When a foreign friend loses a bike, the police make a few calls, and two hours later, the bike is parked at the police station’s entrance...
It’s hard to say whether that’s good or bad. Ren He thinks, as long as his safety can be better guaranteed, he doesn’t care what the relationship between the police and thieves really is.
Of course, within China’s physique, real thugs are never allowed to emerge.
For Ren He, getting a plane ticket in Jamaica wasn’t easy. He recalled the schadenfreude on Steve’s face when he disembarked initially, and later he understood where the problem lay...
Couldn’t buy a plane ticket! Now in Jamaica, he was essentially an undocumented person! Without a visa or a passport, he had become a target for local gangs as soon as he left the ship—a smooth-skinned loner not escorted by an official group, carrying a suitcase that looked quite nice.
If such a person isn’t an easy mark, then who is?
As Ren He was thinking about how to get a plane ticket, he had already noticed four or five black men eyeing him hungrily. Ren He chuckled, having encountered such a situation; he wondered if these guys could help him get a plane ticket...
He purposely walked towards a more secluded area, and the men quickly followed. When they cornered him, they forced Ren He to hand over the suitcase.
Ren He calmly handed the suitcase over—its weight, with two semi-automatic rifles and a pistol inside, almost caused the receiver to lose grip, nearly throwing his back out...
Suspicious, they thought the suitcase must contain something very important and demanded the code from Ren He to open it and check. But as soon as the suitcase opened, they were baffled—there were guns inside...
And when they looked up again, Ren He had already pointed his guns at them...
The hell, had they run into an arms dealer? Who the hell carries around a pile of guns for no reason? Isn’t this deceiving international friends?
"Got a phone? Toss one over here," Ren He said with a chuckle. "Leave your account number. I’ll wire you the money when I get back home."
That was how Ren He was buying phones now. He was never exactly a paragon of virtue, and to achieve his goals, he was not too concerned with the means. Now, after the battle in New York, who knew what new changes he might undergo.
However, Ren He thought it was too risky to leave all five guys conscious—carrying guns was quite normal for Jamaican gangs—so he knocked out four of them before starting to make the call.
The first call he made was to Lin Hao, asking Skydrive to sort out his plane ticket issue. Within 10 minutes, Lin Hao called back, just go to Gate 21 for security check and report his name. That surprised Ren He; he didn’t realize Skydrive had that much clout.
In fact, the strategic location of Jamaica made it an ideal point of entry for penetrating North America. They had been operating there for some time.
But what Ren He didn’t know was the shock on the other end of the phone with Lin Hao!
Skydrive had reason to believe Ren He was dead—after all, who could have escaped from such an environment? Whether it was Lin Hao or Wang, they probably wouldn’t have made it, undoubtedly a sure death!
A sharpshooting rifle can indeed be ruthless. During that bloody night, Ren He’s sniper rifle left everyone in shock, and calling him a Sharpshooter wasn’t an exaggeration.
But no matter how ruthless a sniper rifle is, that was the center of New York City, facing an organization like the National Security Agency. Even helicopters were deployed.
The intensity of the battle that day could be gleaned just by looking at the American news from that day, although the news didn’t report how things eventually played out because the National Security Agency had locked down the information.
But nobody believed Ren He was still alive.
And later on, they also bought information that the case had already been closed within the National Security Agency.
What does closure mean? No one knew that the case had secretly been transferred to the Federal Bureau of Investigation; they could only naïvely assume that since Ren He was dead, of course, the case was rightfully closed.
So Skydrive had recently been a little afraid of receiving calls from Yang Xi, just in case she asked whether Ren He was really dead. Fortunately, it seemed Yang Xi had also despaired and thus stopped calling.
Steve had reportedly told them about Ren He’s reason for being trapped in the battlefield—to let Steve survive and exchange for Yang Xi’s opportunity to leave the U.S.
Employees of Skydrive, while funded by the state, ended up being saved by an ordinary citizen, a fact that made them all feel ashamed to speak of.
Therefore, Yang Xi’s calls seemed to reopen their shame each time. They didn’t mind being shamed a few more times, but they couldn’t resurrect Ren He from the dead.
Moreover, they were shocked that a great love story was born right in front of their eyes. Declarations of selfless devotion in common love stories sounded like empty words, but Ren He had now testified to it all with his very life.
When Lin Hao suddenly learned that Ren He wasn’t dead, it was an amazing feeling, like a sudden ray of sunlight breaking through the clouds, brightening the entire world!
This allowed Ren He’s hanging heart to finally settle. If Steve’s gloating face was still in front of him now, he would have made him cry for an hour before speaking.
Once everything was ready, Ren He took a deep breath and dialed Yang Xi’s number.
