"Hsu Rann, I think we should let Mr. Zheng help us find the international long-distance phone first. If we can find the long-distance phone, I will call the H Country. Our safety will be guaranteed and we may leave the country safely. If this method is really not feasible, we will take the route of smuggling. What do you think?" Fann Binn said to Hsu Rann in a low voice.
Hsu Rann nodded after hearing what Fann Binn said. She said to Zheng Wuxi, "Uncle Zheng, is there an international call in town? My friend wants to call back to H Country."
"International call...?" Zheng Wuxi looked at Fann Binn in surprise and thought for a while. Then she frowned at Hsu Rann and said, "There are very few calls from C Country to go overseas. They are all controlled by the operator. Ordinary people are not qualified to do so. If you want to make an international call, there is no such thing as an international call in Zhong Town. "
After Hsu Rann heard Zheng Wuxi's words, she was clearly somewhat disappointed. Fann Binn, who was beside her, thought for a while before saying, "Hsu Rann, I still think it's safer to call back to H Country. Since Zhong Town doesn't have a long-distance phone call, I don't believe that a bigger city doesn't have one. This Mr. Zheng is a businessman. Lu Yin will definitely get it. Let him get one for us, we'll go to a bigger city to look for it. If it really doesn't work, we'll come back and smuggle it back. "
Hsu Rann immediately told Zheng Wuxi what Fann Binn had said. She could clearly see that Zheng Wuxi was a little surprised and stunned, then she asked in confusion. "You are going to a bigger city to make an international long-distance call? I'm puzzled. What's so good about this call? Not only is it easy to expose yourself, but it's also quite difficult. Wouldn't it be better to stay here and wait for us to sneak back to H Country together?"
"Uncle Zheng, this is my friend's idea. I respect his opinion. It doesn't matter if you don't want to help us. We can think of a way ourselves. " Hsu Rann stood up from her chair and said, "It's getting late. We have to leave before those patrolling soldiers seal up the entire Zhong Town. Uncle Zheng, thank you for your hospitality. "
"Don't. It's too dangerous for you to leave the town now. Don't you plan on sneaking back to H Country? You... Hey, Miss Xu, take care. I haven't finished my words yet!" Seeing Hsu Rann stand up and about to leave, Fann Binn, Baldy and the rest also immediately stood up. At this time, Zheng Wuxi could not help but urgently say, "Ah! I suddenly remembered that I have a relative who works in Zhong town's Agriculture Bureau. He might have a phone that can call international long-distance calls. If you really want to call him... Then I'll take you to ask him if it's okay. "
Upon hearing Zheng Wuxi's words, Fann Binn and the others immediately stopped in their tracks. All of them turned to look at him. As long as there was a place where they could make international calls, it meant that there was hope for them to return safely. They would naturally choose to stay and wait.
"Sorry to trouble Uncle Zheng. We really need to make international long-distance calls. I hope Uncle Zheng can help us." Hsu Rann revealed a look of surprise and pleaded, "You must help us."
"Okay. Wait here for a while. I will go and settle the business in the store and bring you to him." Zheng Wuxi looked at Hsu Rann and lightly smiled as he got up and said goodbye. She walked into the store in front of her and went to make arrangements.
Fann Binn, who had sat down again, stared at Hsu Rann with vigilance for a while before he said, "Hsu Rann, you must be wary of others. We are in a dangerous situation in C Nation. No one can be trusted absolutely. If you find anything wrong in a while, ___ said. We will leave immediately. This Mr. Zheng seems to be a little too enthusiastic towards us. I'm afraid... "
" Fann Binn, I understand what you mean, I also understand. But I would rather believe him once. " Hsu Rann answered seriously, "Because we have no way out now. We really have to leave Zhong City and go to other places to make international calls. I'm afraid it would be even more difficult. Although I haven't known this Uncle Zheng for a long time, just because he can help so many compatriots cross the border and leave this place, I feel that I should trust him."
After hearing Hsu Rann's words, Fann Binn nodded and said, "I hope he's really a good person. Later, we still have to be careful. Baldy, when you reach the destination later, you must be very vigilant, understand? "
"Don't worry, boss. We will definitely ensure your and sister-in-law's safety." Bald man patted his chest and said confidently to Fann Binn, "If this guy surnamed Zheng dares to play any tricks, I guarantee that I will immediately send him to see the Yama King!"
Zheng Wuxi wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled at Hsu Rann and Fann Binn, who were beside him. He walked quickly on the narrow and messy shabby street. He was leading Fann Binn and the others towards the Agriculture Bureau of Zhong Town.
Since Zheng Wuxi wanted to arrange the business in the store, he also had to settle the accounts. So he had been delayed for a long time. Of course, the vigilant Fann Binn would secretly supervise him from time to time. When he found out that he was indeed settling accounts and tidying up the goods, he was too embarrassed to say anything. In the end, he waited for an hour or so before leaving the store and heading to the Agriculture Bureau that he mentioned.
"Don't look at the Agriculture Bureau of a small town. In an agricultural country like C Nation, the Agriculture Bureau has a lot of power. My relative is the director of the Agriculture Bureau's Seed Office. He often needs to call the domestic supply and marketing cooperatives to order seeds. And those cooperatives sometimes need to play some dirty tricks with him to earn some extra money. They will use the cooperatives' procurement as an excuse to cooperate with the seed merchants at the border of H Country. Buying fertilizers and buying seeds. After a while, he decided to set up a phone in the name of communicating with the cooperatives overseas to purchase seeds. You can directly make a foreign phone call. "
Zheng Wuxi continued to speak as she hurried to the side of the road. "It's also because you're lucky that this phone was set up more than a month ago. However, let me make this clear in advance. I don't know if anyone is monitoring the phone. However, there are so many people from the Agricultural Bureau coming and going. Even if they find out who made the call, they probably won't be able to find out. So you have to be careful. Leave after you're done. Don't harm my relatives. "
Hsu Rann hurriedly said, "Uncle Zheng, don't worry. We will leave after we finish making the call. We will not bring any trouble to your relatives."
"Yes, that's good." Zheng Wuxi said and pointed forward, "The Agricultural Bureau is right in front. Everyone, be careful. Don't talk to strangers after you go in later. "
Fann Binn and the others followed the direction Zheng Wuxi was pointing at and looked at the building not far away. They saw an old six-story building that looked relatively clean appear in front of them. There was a plaque hanging at the entrance of the building, and on it were clearly written a few C Country characters of Zhong Town Agriculture Bureau.
Under the lead of Zheng Wuxi, Fann Binn and the others quickly passed the security check and followed him into the Agriculture Bureau. Zheng Wuxi was right. It was rare for Zhong Town to have a few decent buildings. This Agricultural Bureau was obviously one of them. It could be seen that C Nation attached great importance to agriculture. However, this six-story building seemed to be somewhat deserted. Very few people walked around. After entering through the door and walking to the first floor, Fann Binn did not even see an employee appear.
"Boss, there seems to be something wrong with this. The silence is too strange." The baldy could not help but cautiously approach Fann Binn and whispered, "Is there a problem here?"
As if he had guessed what the baldy and the others were thinking, he did not wait for Fann Binn to speak. Zheng Wuxi, who was beside him, explained with a smile, "It's all thanks to your good luck. Recently, it's the season before farming. Many of the officers and staff of the Agricultural Bureau went down to the countryside to supervise the coordinators of the various villages. The preparation work before the farming work has been carried out. That's why this building is so spacious and empty. "
Hearing Zheng Wuxi's explanation, some doubt in the baldy's eyes disappeared. Instead, he focused his attention on the security aspect. At this time, they had already gradually climbed up to the third floor. Very quickly, they passed through the corridor and arrived outside an office in a corner. This office was called the Communication Room. They saw him lightly knock on the door. With a smile on his face, he said softly, "Is Guang Xi there?"
Very quickly, the office door was opened and a thin figure appeared inside. He was wearing a Zhongshan suit and was combing his hair. He looked like a young man who was very much like a traitor. He looked up and down at the crowd outside the door and asked. " You're looking for Director Zheng? What's the matter? "
"Comrade, may I ask who you are? I am Zheng Guangxi's second brother, Zheng Wuxi. Hehe. Where's Guangxi? Is he not here?" Zheng Wuxi smiled and handed over a cigarette. It was obvious that he was trying to please her.
"Oh my, you are Guang Xi's second brother, Zheng Wuxi, Boss Zheng. Long time no see. Have you forgotten about me? A while ago, I went to your place to buy fabric for my wife to make clothes. I'm Xiao Li. Director Zheng's secretary!" After the young man called Xiao Li glanced at Fann Binn and the others, he warmly held Zheng Wuxi's hands and said. " Oh my, I didn't expect you to be Director Zheng's second brother. Please come in, please come in. "
"So it's Xiao Li. I really didn't expect you to be my brother's secretary. That's good." Zheng Wuxi turned around and introduced to Hsu Rann, "This is my cousin's secretary. Everyone calls him Xiao Li. With him around, we can be considered acquaintances."
"Yeah, we are acquaintances to begin with." Xiao Li pulled Zheng Wuxi into the office, and Fann Binn led Baldy and the rest into the office. The office was not very big, but the decorations were quite formal. It was also clean and bright. However, this office caught Fann Binn's eye with a single glance. The only thing that caught ___'s eye was the old black phone on the table!
"Xiao Li, why aren't you seeing Director Zheng? Did he also go to the countryside?" After Zheng Wuxi casually asked a question, he didn't see Xiao Li answer, so he smiled again. "Since Director Zheng isn't here, Xiao Li, I want to trouble you with something. These are my friends. They want to travel to H Country internationally. As you know, the country allows private businesses nowadays. My friends want to call the boss over there. See if you can get a batch of goods into and out. What do you think? "
When Xiao Li heard that, he instantly smiled and said, "Look at what you're saying, Boss Zheng. You're Director Zheng's cousin, and we're acquaintances. It's just a phone call. It's alright. Call him, just call him."
When they heard Xiao Li agree, Fann Binn and Hsu Rann immediately revealed an excited expression. What did this mean? This meant that they finally saw the hope of leaving this place safely! Fann Binn believed that as long as they made this call, their situation would change drastically. What a good opportunity!
