After Qin Yuan found An Ran's phone number in his mobile phone address book, he dialed the number immediately without any hesitation, although he was very nervous in his heart.
I don't know if I can successfully contact Anron, but I can also take this opportunity to try out the channel that the system has upgraded for me to establish contact with the outside world through satellite.
After pressing the dial button again, the phone remembered the "beep beep" sound of a normal call.
Qin Yuan was very nervous now. The phone didn't ring. His heart was beating so hard that he seemed to have never been so nervous.
This feeling is like the nervous feeling of calling a girl you like and not knowing whether he will be willing to accept your love.
After about ten seconds, the call was quickly connected.
The familiar and gentle voice came from the phone.
After Qin Yuan heard this voice, he immediately put down the big stone in his heart. Yes, it was An Ran's voice. Sure enough, it was the one who contacted him, and An Ran connected with him.
"Hello?"
Qin Yuan was so excited that he said with a trembling voice:
"An Ran! It's me!"
"Is it you? Who are you?"
Qin Yuan felt a little cold in his heart when he heard Di Anran asking who he was on the phone. He said with a somewhat disappointed tone:
"No way, I've only been away for two days, can't you even recognize my voice?"
An Ran smiled on the phone and said:
"I was teasing you just now. Can I still not hear your voice? Qin Yuan, have you reached your destination now? I just checked the time. You shouldn't have reached your destination so quickly, right? "
Qin Yuan knew that An Ran was teasing him, and he felt a little better, not as sad as before. It seemed that An Ran could hear his own voice.
"We are still on the sea. How can we reach our destination so quickly? You don't know that we are almost going crazy from torture. We have been staying in the underground cabin all day, just like the kind of people who stay in a dark and humid place. Like a mouse, it never sees the light of day.”
"Hey~ As expected, your environment is similar to what I expected. I really feel sorry for you, but I hope you can persevere. You should be arriving at your destination soon. After arriving at your destination, you should feel much better. .
By the way, normally, you should have no signal at sea. How can you call me? And what I saw when I answered Ni's phone just now was an unfamiliar number.
Moreover, I have never seen this number before. It was given to me like a string of garbled codes, and I was so scared that I didn’t even dare to answer your call. I thought it was so late and it was a scam call from some pervert.
It still looked like garbled characters. However, after some hesitation, I am quite curious and decided to answer it first. After all, the call could not cause any harm to me.
You should thank me for my strong curiosity, otherwise I will definitely miss your call. Then tell me quickly, why can you still have signals at sea and make calls from such confusing numbers? "
Qin Yuan faced the gloomy question. He had never thought that after the upgrade of the satellite system, his phone would display a garbled phone number.
This was something he had never thought about, but in retrospect, what the system said made sense.
Didn’t the system tell me that before? After upgrading my phone system, I no longer use the operator's communication equipment. Instead, I use satellite communication equipment.
Maybe they haven't established some kind of connection yet, but they can just call in this way. As long as they can get in touch with the outside world, it doesn't matter what number they display?
Although Qin Yuan explained this strange thing in his heart, he still didn't know how to explain it to An Ran?
He was very nervous now, so he quickly made up a lie and said:
"This is indeed quite magical. Suddenly, our mobile phones have signal here. As for the displayed phone number being garbled, it may be because the signal is not stable."
An Ran was still relatively innocent at this time, and was obviously convinced by this unreasonable reason.
"So that's it. Are you bored at sea? That's why you called me and wanted to chat with me?"
After hearing An Ran's question, Qin Yuan suddenly remembered that the real purpose of calling him this time was to ask him for help, and he could finally get down to business.
Qin Yuan's tone suddenly became very serious and said to An Ran:
"Is it easy for you to speak now? Is there anyone else around you?"
"You don't even look at it. What time is it now? I'm already preparing to go to bed. Why are there other people around me? It's very convenient for me to speak now. What's your secret? If you want to tell me, just tell me Tell me."
After Qin Yuan heard that there should be no other suspicious people around him, he could safely tell what he was thinking.
Then he sighed and said:
"An Ran, it's like this. I have something important and I want to ask you for help. I have indeed encountered some problems, and there is no way to solve this problem so far. I can only ask you for help.
The most important thing is that Fan Tianlei must not know about this matter.
Of course, this is on the premise that you can help me solve this matter without letting Fan Tianlei know. If you are helpless after I tell you, you will have to let Fan Tianlei know. "
An Ran heard Qin Yuan's serious tone on the phone and knew that he must have encountered a serious problem, otherwise he would never talk to him like this.
An Ran was also very nervous on the phone.
Because he might have to encounter a serious problem, An Ran began to write seriously and in a low voice without realizing it.
"Okay, I understand what you are thinking. I also know your intention. I will definitely do it according to the method you said, but now you have to tell me what kind of problem you encountered."
Qin Yuan thought to himself, this is really a long and difficult question. How should he describe it to him so that he can explain it clearly in the shortest way?
"The thing is like this, Jason, the one you introduced to us, is the boss who specializes in smuggling. We accidentally found him on his bed. In addition to transporting people who were smuggling, he also had other people on his ship. There are large quantities of munitions.”
"What? Why did Jason start this business?
I have known him for so many years, and although I cannot describe a stowaway boss as honest and responsible, he has never been involved in anything too dangerous in these businesses, and he has never done anything.
I know that he has a daughter by his side, and he will never risk his daughter's life. Why is there such a dangerous thing on his ship this time?
Have you misunderstood him? Normally, he would not dare to transport such dangerous items. This would threaten the lives of his family. This is something he himself cannot accept.
Is there any misunderstanding between you? "
“I can’t explain this matter to you in just a few words, but there is no misunderstanding between us.
After I boarded the ship, Jason took great care of me. He and I were like old friends who knew each other at first sight. There were munitions on his ship, which I accidentally discovered.
Later, after we went through some things, we cleared up the issue. He was indeed helping Effit transport this batch of arms.
The most important thing is that this batch of arms is not ordinary arms. This batch is numbered arms. Do you know what this means, Enron? "
After An Ran listened to Qin Yuan's explanation, she felt a little confused now and couldn't believe her ears.
This was completely different from the Jason he usually knew.
An Ran already knew how dangerous it was to be caught transporting arms, but he was the first to do so. Although smuggling was not an aboveboard matter, compared to smuggling arms, this crime was much smaller.
An Ran said on the phone with a trembling voice:
"Of course I know what this batch of numbered arms means? It means that someone among us has betrayed you, right? So is this the real reason why you don't want me to tell Fan Tianlei about this? ?
Do you suspect that Fan Tianlei betrayed you?
Fan Tianlei and Efit, they colluded together and deliberately put numbered munitions on the ship, trying to catch you all? "
"I'm not sure about this now, but what I can be sure of is that it is definitely not Fan Tianlei who betrayed me. I have worked with him for so many years, although sometimes we have noisy moments and have some conflicts.
But I can be sure that he is a very upright person, and he treats me sincerely. No matter what kind of problems he encounters, he will never betray me, even if someone threatens his family, he will not betray me. meeting. "
When An Ran heard this, she felt even more confused.
"Since you believe Fan Tianlei so much, why didn't you tell him about this matter and keep it secret from him? I just listened to your description of this matter and I know that this cannot be solved by me alone.
It seems that I still have to turn to Fan Tianlei for help. Maybe this result will disappoint you. "
After Qin Yuan heard this answer, he was a little disappointed.
But this is also expected of An Ran. He is still a girl. No matter how powerful he is, it is still very difficult for him to handle this batch of official arms. This is not something ordinary people can do.
"I understand An Ran, I understand the difficulties in your heart, so if you want to ask Fan Tianlei to help you solve this matter, I have no objection, but we need to think of a better way.
This method sounds reasonable, impeccable, and seamless. And we can let him help us solve the problem. "
"I don't quite understand why you can't explain this matter directly. Someone within us teamed up with Efit to frame you. Why are you more timid and afraid to let Fan Tianlei know about it?"
Qin Yuan hesitated again and again, whether to tell the whole story to An Ran.
However, this thought only passed by for a moment, and he decided not to tell An Ran everything about it. This would be more beneficial to him and could completely save Fan Tianlei's face.
An Ran heard Qin Yuan's hesitation on the phone, and he knew that the other party was unwilling to tell him everything about the matter. Since he has such an idea, he cannot embarrass his friends.
It’s understandable that everyone has secrets they don’t want to reveal.
"Okay, since you don't want to tell me, then I respect the secrets in your heart. What do you need me to do now?"
"Thank you, An Ran. I know you are a very reasonable girl. As long as people don't want to tell the secret, you will never break the casserole and ask the truth.
Thank you for respecting my ideas so much. "
"I said you should stop saying these useless polite words. Our relationship is still useful. Are you thanking me by repeating it like this? Just tell me what you need me to do, and I will prepare it now. "
"Our ship is about to dock in about twenty hours. This is what Jason and I have been worried about before, and it is also the conclusion we came to after discussing it.
Perhaps the other party wants to wait until our ship docks, then use the Pakistani army to come out and steal our batch of arms in an open and honest manner. You also know this batch of numbered arms, if they are discovered by people from other countries, what consequences will we have?
I'm afraid that even Fan Tianlei won't be able to come forward to fish us out by then, and we will definitely be dead in Pakistan. "
An Ran nodded on the phone. It was indeed the case. This was the worst outcome.
"This matter is indeed very serious, but what can I do to help you?"
"If we can send some ships now to unload all our arms on the way, then after we arrive at our destination, even if someone from the other side really comes to intercept us, they won't be able to find anything.
Only the stowaways in the underground cabin will be searched. This is not the best way so far, and it is also the cheapest way so far. The rest will probably have to be contacted by people from Pakistan.
If you want to do this, it will be even more difficult. We don't have enough contacts over there to help us solve such a major problem. Who dares to take on such a big responsibility? "
