Similar to the relationship with Barbie.
Zhang Jing and she both have a handle on each other. Although their relationship is simple, they have a high degree of trust in each other.
Same reason.
If Zhang Jing and Candela cooperate and kill little Jeb, they can also form a deep bonding relationship.
This is a good thing, Zhang Jing decided to cooperate.
Abandoning the search for the sunken ship and the gem necklace, he planned to kill little Jeb first.
Sure enough, a little later that day, little Jeb first contacted Candela on Facebook.
Then we met again in the hospital ward.
"There is some money-making news," looking at Candela sitting on the sofa in the ward, little Jeb, who looked very bad, said in a relaxed tone, "Inside information."
"What's the inside story?"
“Insider information about a public company’s acquisition of another public company.”
"What do you want in exchange?"
"It's not an exchange," little Jeb said generously, sitting next to Candela. "We have been neighbors for four years. I still remember the happy times when we were skateboarding and playing football together in the community when we were children. It seems like yesterday."
Candela smiled, she remembered that too.
"Gongta Company has been planning to acquire Lie in the past year," little Jeb introduced. "Lie is a software development company with 500 employees. The products they develop are relatively niche, but very practical."
"For example: AI graduation thesis detector, literary work plagiarism detector, patent searcher, self-study programming software, file organization software, mechanical design tools, drawing, video editing, office software, etc."
Candela had heard of Gong Tower, but not Lie, and asked with concern: "Is this source of information reliable?"
"Of course," little Jeb said firmly, "this is something only a few people know. You make a little profit from it, but don't get too many points. Keep it secret."
"Thank you," Candela expressed gratitude, "I'll buy some lie stocks quickly."
Little Jeb chuckled, "Do me a favor."
"you say."
"Tell me Zhang Jing's whereabouts."
Candela's expression turned alert for a second, "What do you want to do?"
"I know you have a good relationship with him," little Jeb said nonchalantly, "I just want to teach him a lesson, I have no other ideas."
"No," Candela refused decisively, "I won't buy lie stocks."
I knew that Candela and Zhang Jing had a good relationship, but I didn't expect it to be so good. He continued to report, "In North Africa, I know a suspected treasure hiding place of Mustache."
The Mustache Treasure is a big concept. It is said that there are many treasure hiding places, both in Europe and Africa.
So far, only two treasure sites have been found, with many more still buried underground.
In an instant, Candela's expression was surprised and her eyes were bright, "You can have this!"
Little Jeb felt proud. Fortunately, he knew Candela. This was a woman who could refuse the temptation of money. Because she loved taking risks, she couldn't refuse the clues of treasure hunting.
"That Zhang Jing's whereabouts..."
"It's the place you said. I'll take him there. The grudges between you will be resolved on your own, but no lives will be lost."
"Okay!" Little Jeb praised, "We will meet in Tunisia in three days."
Candela nodded.
Three days passed by in a flash, and Zhang Jing followed Candela to Tunisia.
"Eighty years ago, a mustache could hit this far?"
After leaving the airport and looking at the taxis coming and going, Zhang Jing asked in surprise.
"Mustache's general, Desert Fox, is more powerful than many idiot generals today," Candela said nonchalantly, "It's not surprising that they defeated Tunisia."
Mentioning the Desert Fox, Zhang Jing asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Sharon Merle personally buried the mustache treasure that little Jeb mentioned?"
“It’s unlikely,” Candela introduced. “In the later stages of the war, due to serious internal strife, Mustache became suspicious of Rommel’s loyalty due to an assassination and forced the other party to drink poison;
Therefore, it is unlikely that he would be allowed to hide the treasure. There is a high probability that he is the Gestapo. "
Zhang Ding nodded and got into the Chevrolet SUV driven by Wesker.
Before each mission, Wes and Barry would prepare supplies, vehicles, and boats in advance, making it easier for Candela to hunt for treasure.
It's a bit like the soldiers in the Eastern Roman period who took two slaves with them to carry heavy burdens when they went to war.
In the late Qing Dynasty, soldiers were carried away by their masters by two servants.
The comfort level is very high, but Zhang Jing does not intend to do this because he has a backpack.
"Welcome to Tunisia," the stocky Wesker laughed as he drove. "This is a city with infinitely beautiful scenery and a lot of sin."
The temperature is about 24 or 25 degrees, the windows are lowered, there is a cool breeze, and it feels very comfortable.
Looking at the city scenery outside the car, Zhang Jing was reminded by Wesker of a photo he had seen a few years ago.
A child of about three years old was lying on the beach with his face pressed against the beach. He had drowned.
The drowned child was smuggled from Tunisia to Italy with his father.
Because of this famous photo, Zhang Jing knew a little more about Tunisia.
It is hard to imagine that to this day, there is still such a place that is still turbulent, has power chaos, and is still economically weak.
High unemployment rate as high as 18%, high inflation, average annual price increase of 15%, and high corruption.
What's more serious is that there are still some places that are beyond the control of the government and are in a state of separatism.
It is not easy to be a common people in prosperous times, and it is even more difficult to be a common people in troubled times. Of course, a large number of refugees choose to sneak into Italy to make money.
There is also the tragedy that many refugees drowned in the sea.
Of course, even illegal immigration requires capital.
Rich people use tourist visas to fly there, ordinary people sell everything and find smugglers to smuggle across, and more people can't leave but are left to suffer.
Fortunately, the situation in the capital and surrounding areas is pretty good.
As the car goes deeper into the interior, the green becomes less and less, the houses become more and more dilapidated, and the faces of ordinary people become more and more miserable.
After driving about 350 kilometers, we came to a small town called Nefta, which is close to the Gobi Desert.
The situation here is similar to what we see on TV and videos, with obvious lack of water and hunger.
As the vanguard, the tall and lanky Barry was already waiting in Nefta a day in advance.
The advantage of being a pioneer is that when Zhang Jing and Candela arrived, Barry had already rented a house and bought food, water, blankets, weapons, etc.
The house is a private residence, built in Yimoulan style.
Not to mention luxury, cleanliness is better than anything else.
After simply eating some food and resting all night, Zhang Jing and Candela set off early the next day, the sun's first birthday.
Enter a place called 'Debila'.
'Debila' is what the locals call it. It is actually a group of barren mountains with a dry yellow color between the Gobi Desert and the Sahara Desert.
The barren mountains are about 130 kilometers wide from east to west and 90 kilometers wide from north to south.
Millions of years ago, it was the bottom of the sea. There were more than five valleys and more than 20 hills in the interior. The terrain changed greatly and the terrain was complex.
"Little Jeb said that this barren mountain is most likely one of the places where Mustache's treasure is hidden," Candela introduced while driving while wearing large sunglasses. "We need to find the specific location ourselves."
"More than 10,000 square kilometers, the area is too big," Zhang Jing complained, "Maybe little Jeb just wants to trick me, and the Mustache Treasure is just a lie."
"Based on the retreat of German shepherds at the end of World War II," Candela said with conviction, "this place is indeed very likely to be used for hiding treasures."
"I'm so moved by what you said," Zhang Jing also wore big sunglasses on his face, "First catch little Jeb, and then slowly find the baby."
Candela nodded.
