"What's going on?" Amu Xi asked.
"The main force is here, the main force has arrived," the soldier hurriedly said.
Amu Xi frowned and said, "It seems that the real trouble has come."
"Heh heh, isn't this exactly what you wanted?" Lin Chuan chuckled with a sly smile.
Amu Xi cracked a slight smile and said, "This matter isn't that simple, I will go out and meet him."
Having said this, Amu Xi immediately went out.
Three thousand troops, dozens of trucks, rumbling towards the direction of the Presidential Palace. Leading them was an extremely burly, bald black man with a bandolier of bullets around his neck, sitting in the co-driver's seat of a Humvee, wearing a pair of pitch black sunglasses. He is Clement, one of Ramsey's top generals.
Clement is a valiant and skilled warrior who once served the incumbent President. Later, he was won over by Ramsey, not only taking a large number of soldiers from the President but also a significant amount of weapons. This man, naturally greedy and lecherous, can be easily swayed by the slightest prodding.
Now, for Amu Xi to win Clement over was not a complicated matter—it only required the promise of money and beautiful women. That would be enough.
Amu Xi walked to the doorway; the Humvee had already parked nearby. Clement stood by the car, puffing on a cigar, with a pair of American military leather boots on his feet. He took his steps leisurely, walking towards Amu Xi.
"General Clement, long time no see!" Amu Xi walked over with a hearty laugh.
"Amu Xi, what do you mean by this?" Clement glared at Amu Xi angrily.
"Let me be honest with you, I've killed Ramsey," Amu Xi shrugged helplessly and said, "He was bent on putting me to death, and this time I had no choice but to be preemptive. So, I hope you will follow me; I promise you an endless supply of money, and all the beautiful women you can desire."
Clement said angrily, "And what if I refuse?"
"I believe you won't refuse me, right?" Amu Xi's lips curled up with a cunning smile and said, "Now that Ramsey is dead, and the Presidential Palace is under my control, before others can react, we can completely suppress them. By then, wouldn't this world be yours and mine?"
Clement paused for a moment, this headstrong and audacious man seemed a bit tempted.
"How about it?" Amu Xi asked, testing the waters.
Clement slightly furrowed his brows and said, "The idea is good, but how can I trust you?"
It seems that this guy is not a fool either. Knowing that Amu Xi is rather cunning and that those who manipulate politics are deceitful, he did not agree outright, but wanted Amu Xi to show some concrete actions.
"Haha..." Amu Xi laughed heartily and said, "It looks like you still don't trust me."
"You're not worthy of my trust," Clement took a puff of his cigar.
The situation was tense on both sides, and the negotiation seemed to have come to a deadlock at one point. Amu Xi suggested with a smile, "How about this, you still command your troops. You just need to follow my orders, so you don't have to worry about losing your military power to someone else."
"Good," Clement nodded without hesitation.
As long as the military power was in his hands, what was there to fear? Clement was not stupid; he immediately smiled and said, "Amu Xi, congratulations on becoming the leader of the *****."
"Haha..." Amu Xi burst into laughter.
Lin Chuan didn't expect everything to go so smoothly; this trip to Yemen seemed to turn out surprisingly well. Lin Chuan and Song Xiaojia temporarily stayed at the Presidential Palace. What Song Xiaojia wanted most, what she needed most right now was to have a hot shower and change into clean clothes.
Apart from Song Xiaojia, several other Chinese were captured, and this time they were all rescued by Lin Chuan, as well as some Japanese officers and a few American officers. They were all settled in the Presidential Palace, and at the same time, Amu Xi also notified the embassies of these countries, asking them to come and pick up their people.
After receiving the news, the ambassadors from several embassies were dumbfounded. The local armed forces, after capturing their citizens, did not demand a ransom but openly let them pick up their own people? Could this be a trap?
The Chinese Ambassador to Yemen, Ambassador Li, urgently made a phone call to the homeland, and requested instructions from higher-ups. After the higher-ups received the message, they immediately sought guidance from the leadership.
In Beijing, along the famous Prince Street.
The leader was taking a walk in the garden when suddenly, a bodyguard rushed over.
"Leader, there's a message from the embassy," the bodyguard hurriedly said. "They say there's a situation in Yemen..."
The bodyguard quickly relayed the situation.
"Something's fishy!" the leader frowned and said, "Unprecedentedly, they didn't demand a ransom?"
"This..." Guard Xiao Liu hesitated somewhat.
"What are you hesitating about? Is there something else you need to tell me?" the superior officer asked urgently.
"Superior officer, I... I'm sorry," Guard Xiao Liu said awkwardly.
"Speak, what's the matter?" the superior officer asked sternly.
"It's... it's Lin Chuan!" Guard Xiao Liu hurriedly recounted the events of the past two days to the superior officer, who, upon hearing this, immediately furrowed his brows, realizing: "No wonder, it turns out all this mischief was caused by that kid Lin Chuan. Then what are you waiting for, have the embassy pick them up, don't hesitate."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Liu nodded frantically and was about to run to the door when he asked puzzledly, "Superior officer, you... you're not blaming me?"
"You little rascal, I'll deal with you later!" the superior officer glared at him.
"Hehe..." Xiao Liu chuckled and ran off speedily.
Before long, the embassy staff immediately headed to the Presidential Palace for the pickup. Ambassador Li, along with a group, proceeded to the area controlled by local armed forces. They were extremely apprehensive along the way, fearing that the armed forces would also detain the embassy staff. After all, these armed forces didn't care at all about international conventions or embassy protocols... They ignored everything. All they wanted was money, to detain embassy staff and then demand a ransom from their country, asking for outrageous sums.
Unexpectedly, the journey turned out to be safe, and upon entering the embassy, the counterparties sent negotiators, quickly releasing the detainees.
"Huh... Where's Song Xiaojia?" Ambassador Li was very puzzled. He had a good relationship with Song Jianguo. Hence, on this trip to fetch the detainees, he made a point of checking whether Song Xiaojia was among them, only to find she was not in the group.
"Uncle Li, I'm here!" Song Xiaojia ran out from the Presidential Palace quickly.
"Oh dear, young lady, you're finally out," Ambassador Li was startled, then said, "You had me really worried."
"Hardly," Song Xiaojia stuck out her tongue and said, "I just went in to get something, I stayed here last night."
"Everything alright?" Ambassador Li asked awkwardly.
"Yeah," Song Xiaojia shook her head, saying, "They were quite friendly and didn't do anything improper to us."
"That's good, that's good," Ambassador Li hurriedly nodded, saying, "Let's hurry and go; your parents are at home sick with worry."
"Oh!" Song Xiaojia nodded slightly.
After that, the car quickly left. Seeing the smooth operation of the Chinese, embassies from other countries also started to mobilize. The Japanese ambassador, along with half of the staff, went on a rescue mission. However, just as they arrived at the gate of the Presidential Palace, they were immediately detained.
More than a dozen Japanese diplomats were frantic, beards bristling and eyes bulging. The group tried to communicate in broken English, but the other side didn't care—they were herded into a room at gunpoint and then told to call the embassy to arrange a ransom.
"Mother of... This isn't how you play the game," Japanese Ambassador Xiaogu Shangji almost cried out: "Why can the Chinese ambassador come and pick up people, whereas we are locked up here? This is unfair, it's so unfair, I want... I want to sue them."
"Be quiet!" A burly black warrior kicked him over.
The Japanese ambassador rolled several times on the ground, and the group helped Xiaogu Shangji up, consoling him, "Forget it, learn from this setback. We've been fooled this time, make sure it doesn't happen again."
Ambassadors from the United States and the United Kingdom, upon learning of the situation, turned tail and ran. Who would dare to go to the embassy for a pickup now? If they got caught, it would be a huge loss.
Because of this, ambassadors from the United States and the United Kingdom rushed to the Chinese embassy to inquire why the Chinese ambassador could take Chinese citizens away, while staff from the U.S. and U.K. embassies could not bring back their own people? This left them utterly perplexed.
"Jack, why do I feel like they're in cahoots?" a blond, blue-eyed man said.
"How could that be?" Jack shook his head and said, "You can't just say things like that, Shrek."
"Damn it," Shrek cursed, "Why do they detain our people and let the Chinese go? This is injustice."
"Don't think too much," Jack shook his head and said, "Maybe it's just a whim, who knows why we were late. If we had gone first, maybe we would have taken our people, and the Chinese would have to pay a hefty ransom."
The two left annoyed, with no choice but to return the way they came.
Returning from the Chinese embassy, they gained no advantage. The Chinese side claimed they too didn't grasp the reasons behind the situation. Of course, they wouldn't tell the U.S. embassy staff the specific details. The two sides simply made perfunctory contact. The staff from the U.S. embassy could only go back sullenly.
The staff from the U.K. embassy had no better luck.
Amu Xi, leading his Mujahideen and his black associate Clement, struck some kind of cooperation. They quickly suppressed the local armed forces in Yemen. Under the cooperation between Amu Xi and Clement, the two soon suppressed other forces and established a unified front in Sanaa, drawing a clear line and governing separately from the government forces. Such unity brought immense distress to the President of Yemen.
