290: Chapter 276: Tily Rain 290: Chapter 276: Tily Rain Finding the place Joelson ntioned was not difficult, but being accepted by the Anti-Arican Ard Forces was a real challenge.
The United States had drastically reduced its troop presence and intelligence personnel in Libya, not because they had lost control of Libya, but quite the opposite.
Having completely taken control and occupied Libya, they no longer needed to station many personnel.
With the current level of Arican control over Libya, any Anti-Arican Ard Force was not in a good position.
And Gao Yi and his group were being pursued, so unless they had a particularly convincing reason, no one would dare to shelter them.
Joelson had no choice, so he simply demonstrated his value to Gao Yi, pointed him in a direction, and then had nothing else to do.
What to do next was up to Gao Yi.
“What do you plan on how to approach them?
We just knock on their door and ask for refuge, I guess that won’t be easy.”
Feng Biao seed worried, because in his view it was impossible.
The direction Joelson pointed to was correct, but it led nowhere.
It was like soone who was very poor and desperate to find a way to make money, then soone tells him there’s money in the bank, so go rob a bank, sothing like that.
But Gao Yi had his own ideas.
Facing Feng Biao’s concerns, Gao Yi confidently said, “Don’t worry, I have a way.”
Gao Yi always looked confident, sotis pretending, even if he had no idea, he had to pretend he did.
But sotis, Gao Yi truly had a way, a way that others couldn’t think of, or simply didn’t think of.
Now Feng Biao knew Gao Yi fairly well, but he couldn’t tell whether Gao Yi truly had a plan or was just reassuring them, so usually he wouldn’t say much, but today he couldn’t help asking, “Do you really have a way?
What way?”
Gao Yi looked at Feng Biao, then proudly said, “Be the big brother.”
“Be the big brother?
No, boss…”
Feng Biao was a bit helpless, he said with a grim face, “The sa old trick, eh?
Well, if it works, keep using it.
In that case, when you go in and take control of their leader, let think, how should we say this.”
Gao Yi shook his head and said, “Wrong, this ti it’s not about recognizing the big brother, it’s about being the big brother.”
Feng Biao opened his mouth, Lin Xianghua whispered despondently, “In our current situation, we still need to be soone else’s big brother?”
Gao Yi sighed and asked, “Have you read ‘Water Margin’?”
“Yes.”
“Of course.”
“I’ve only seen the TV series.”
After Feng Biao sheepishly admitted he had only watched the TV series, he seed puzzled and said, “What do you an, tell them about loyalty?
But we don’t have any loyalty to talk about with them…”
Gao Yi indifferently said, “Let ask you, who’s the most powerful in ‘Water Margin’?”
“That would be, Baozi Head Lin Chong?”
Li Jie hastily said, “I like Xiao Li from Guang Hua Rong, but I think the one with the highest personal combat ability is Wu Song, then Lu Zhishen.”
Lin Xianghua with a look of desperation said, “Is it appropriate to discuss this at such a crucial ti?”
Gao Yi smiled and said, “You guys just can’t see the point.
Let ask you, was Song Jiang not the big brother at the end?”
The group exchanged looks, and Gao Yi nonchalantly said, “How did Song Jiang get his nickna ‘Tily Rain’?
Was Song Jiang really good at fighting?
Not at all, so what did Song Jiang rely on?
Money!
He threw money at everyone he t and eventually beca ‘Tily Rain.'”
The group suddenly understood, and Gao Yi sighed, “Which Anti-Arican Ard Force isn’t short of money?
Lacking people, money, guns, and ammunition is the norm for guerrilla groups around the world.
So this ti we are not seeking refuge, not asking for shelter – we’re bringing tily warmth, understand?”
The group realized.
Just then, as Luca was driving, he urgently said over the intercom, “We’re here!”
Gao Yi imdiately opened the ambulance’s rear doors.
They were in the old town of Tripoli, where the streets were narrow, and the buildings varied in height, with both five- or six-story self-built buildings and one- or two-story old buildings.
What Gao Yi saw before him was a three-story building, with a small hill at the back topped by a seven- or eight-story building.
The layout was a front shop with a factory behind, but calling it a carpet factory was more fitting than calling it a carpet workshop.
Gao Yi directly got out of the vehicle.
With a gun hanging at his waist and wearing a bullet-proof vest, his body was covered in blood, of course, all sared from Joelson.
The sign for the Ziyad Carpet Factory hung vertically, and right below it was a glass door.
The war had ended several years ago, but having a store with a complete glass door also indicated that this factory had so economic strength.
Just by looking at the front door, Gao Yi silently decided to raise his initial asking price.
“Add a zero to the expected number” kind.
Gao Yi pushed open the door, and inside the shop sat a man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with graying beard and wearing a small cap.
He only glanced at Gao Yi before imdiately raising his hands, his face filled with terror as he began to shout.
Gao Yi couldn’t understand him, but he didn’t plan to chat with the old man either.
“I am looking for Khalid Balram, tell him to co out and see , quickly!”
Gao Yi spoke in English, unsure whether the old man understood.
Gao Yi glanced at his watch and then gestured towards the old man by twiddling his fingers, mimicking the counting of money, and urgently said, “Fast, fast!
The CIA will be here soon; hurry up!”
The gestures didn’t quite match the spoken words, but Gao Yi believed that since this carpet factory was a hideout for the Anti-Arican Ard Forces, it was unlikely that the old man minding the shop was just so clueless old fellow.
Looking at Gao Yi’s outfit, his deanor, and the blood on him, it was clear he was no ordinary man.
Yet, whether he could et Khalid depended on Khalid’s own courage.
The old man lowered his raised hands.
Indeed, he wasn’t just so ordinary old man.
After hesitating briefly, the old man suddenly turned and dashed towards another door of the shop.
Gao Yi didn’t follow, he just shouted, “Hurry, hurry!”
Less than a minute after the old man entered, a man with a large beard, not wearing a cap but draped in a black robe, appeared.
The full beard made it hard to determine his exact age, but Gao Yi guessed the bearded man was sowhere between thirty and fifty.
He also looked calm, possibly soone who made decisions.
It didn’t even matter whether he was Khalid himself, but it was still necessary to ask.
Gao Yi assessed him from head to toe and imdiately asked, “Are you Khalid Balram?”
“Who are you?”
“I am an enemy of the United States.
Aricans are hunting , and many of my people are badly injured and in urgent need of assistance.
Help treat the wounded first, let’s talk other matters later.
Also, that ambulance outside is being chased by the Libyan National Army, and soon a large number of military police will arrive, so you need to take care of the vehicle.”
The man in front of him was indeed Khalid, as his facial expression was quite revealing.
Rushing into soone’s ho, exposing their dangerous identity, attracting myriad pursuers, and then imperiously instructing them to do this and that.
Khalid didn’t imdiately pull out a gun and shoot; either he was good-tempered or patient.
But Gao Yi hadn’t played his trump card yet.
Gao Yi continued calmly, “Don’t worry about who I am right now, I’m a big deal, and I’ll explain it to you later.
Are you short on money?
I’ll give you five million dollars as operating funds.
Do you need weapons and ammunition?
I’ll give them to you.
Whatever you need, I’ll provide.
But now, go pick up my people, hide them, find a doctor, and take care of the vehicle, quickly!
If you can take down an ambassador in Benghazi, you can surely handle this.”
Khalid was startled.
Being called by na, specifically asked to et, was the main reason Khalid appeared, but now Gao Yi not only knew his na but also revealed that he was behind the plot to take down the Arican ambassador in Benghazi, which scared him half to death.
Gao Yi waved his hand again, “Hurry!”
Now was not the ti for explanations, as there was too much to explain.
Instead of trying to dispel Khalid’s doubts, it was better to get him moving without giving him ti to think.
Khalid took a deep breath, then suddenly started shouting and causing a commotion.
In no ti, six n burst through a small door behind Khalid, all carrying guns.
Although now, aside from two of them who continued to point their guns at Gao Yi, the other four lowered their guns.
Gao Yi urgently said, “Soone has fainted; bring him in.
Others help out a bit.
You have so place to hide here, right?
Is it clean?
Quickly, hide us.”
Khalid began whispering instructions to the n next to him holding guns, glanced at Gao Yi, then tucked away his gun and ran out, not knowing what he was going to do.
“You…”
Khalid’s English was good, but after speaking only one sentence, he bowed his head in thought for a mont, then with a dark expression, turned to Gao Yi and said, “What do you want?”
“I need to take refuge in your place because apparently, you’re the only one in Libya who isn’t afraid of Aricans.”
Inconspicuously flattering Khalid, then Gao Yi, adopting a superior deanor, added, “But being unafraid is not enough.
Do you have the strength?”
Khalid frowned; he really wanted to kill Gao Yi now, but everything happening was too baffling, and most importantly, it was clearly urgent to manage the traces Gao Yi and his people had left.
Taking a deep breath, Khalid turned to Gao Yi and said, “You just said…”
“Firstly, I’ll give you five million, the first installnt of your funding.
I surely won’t let you work for nothing, nor let you take risks for nothing.
It’s your luck that I could co here.”
Gao Yi confidently smiled, then confidently continued, “As long as you show good performance, as long as you demonstrate the necessary strength and courage, I’ll take care of your funding and equipnt for your ard forces in the future.”
Gao Yi was adopting the attitude of those who consider money to be dirt beneath them.
Unfortunately, Gao Yi wasn’t very convincing, managing only a pale imitation.
But three parts were enough.
Khalid’s expression tightened, his face filled with disbelief as he said, “Really?”
