Chapter 1983 Return without success

Pi Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "Can you draw a map of the mining area? For example, where are the miners assigned, how many guards are there..."

After listening to Amira's translation, a trace of panic flashed in Patrick's eyes. Although he was reluctant, he still turned his eyes away from the stack of francs.

"I'm only responsible for registering materials on the surface. I can't go into the mine. So, I don't know what's going on inside... I only know that the mine is very complicated, over a hundred meters deep, and there are many forks..."

He seemed somewhat helpless when he said this.

Pi Yangyang's eyes narrowed. Although he knew that he was not telling the complete truth, part of it should be true.

“Uncle, please think about this carefully,” Amira said, realizing Patrick wasn’t telling the truth. “They’re my saviors. I hope you’ll help them for my sake.”

Patrick suddenly became agitated, waved his hands vigorously, and yelled at Amira.

Amira was startled, looked embarrassed, and looked at Pi Yangyang with some guilt.

Pi Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "In that case, don't force your uncle."

Amira moved her lips, about to say something else, but Pi Yangyang bowed slightly to Patrick and said, "Thank you, Mr. Patrick."

Then he turned and walked away without taking the wad of francs that lay on the ground.

Amira quickly reminded, "Mr. Pi, your money..."

Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "I gave it to your uncle as a thank you for providing me with so much information."

Amira was startled and said hesitantly, "But..."

Pi Yangyang said: "It's nothing, I really want to thank your uncle."

Patrick stood up with a complicated expression.

He glanced at the stack of francs on the straw mat and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he held back and did not say it.

After leaving the house, Pi Yangyang took a deep breath and said to Amira, "Come on, take us to your house."

Amira smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Okay, my house is not far ahead."

They didn't drive, but carried some rice, noodles and other food and followed Amira to her house.

After walking less than a hundred meters, I saw a house that looked just like Patrick's.

However, this house looked larger and newer, and had obviously been recently renovated.

The children also followed, as one of them had already gone in to report the news.

Amira directly invited Pi Yangyang and the others in. There was only a middle-aged woman in the room, who was mending clothes.

She is Amira's mother.

After Pi Yangyang came in, he took a quick look around and saw that the house was much cleaner and had some decent furniture.

For example, there is a table, a few chairs, and some large plastic buckets for storage and water.

It can be seen that Amira's family conditions are obviously better than her uncle's.

After listening to the introduction, Amira's mother warmly invited them to sit down and poured them some banana wine she had brewed herself.

"My father went to work in the fields and hasn't come back yet." Amira introduced him to Pi Yangyang and others and helped pour wine.

While pouring the wine, Amira introduced Pi Yangyang and others to his mother, and told her about how he got into trouble in the city and was rescued by Pi Yangyang and others.

Amira's mother was immediately surprised and grateful. She came over with a glass of wine and thanked Pi Yangyang, Xue Ziming and Tie Niu profusely.

Pi Yangyang and others took the wine glasses, did not dislike it, and took a sip.

Although the taste is a bit strange, the wine has the aroma of banana and the sweetness of honey, and it is quite delicious.

Amira's mother muttered a lot to Pi Yangyang and Xue Ziming.

Pi Yangyang looked at Amira, waiting for her to translate.

Amira smiled and said, "My mother thanked you for saving me and said you are the benefactors of our family."

In fact, Pi Yangyang could see that Amira was the pride of the family and the main source of income for the family.

If anything happens to Amira, the whole family will be devastated.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor." Pi Yangyang nodded politely.

After chatting for a while, Pi Yangyang, Xue Ziming and Tie Niu prepared to return to the town.

Amira naturally went back with them.

She is now Pi Yangyang's translator, and she will follow Pi Yangyang wherever he goes.

Back at the base, Chu Ge, who had been waiting anxiously, immediately came forward and asked, "Brother, how is it going? Did you find out anything?"

Pi Yangyang said: "We have learned some information and can now confirm that Shen Xinjun is in that mine."

"Are you sure?" Chu Ge suddenly became excited. "That's good. When are we going to rescue them?"

Pi Yangyang frowned and said as he walked, "We can't rush this matter. We must plan it carefully."

When they arrived at the room, Chu Ge said urgently, "Why do we need to plan this? Just go in and get the person out."

Pi Yangyang shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. They've detained people in the mines and arranged armed guards. We don't know their exact location. If we rush in rashly, they'll be killed before we can rescue them."

Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, "What should I do then?"

Xue Ziming said, "The best way is to arrange for one of our people to enter the mining area as an insider. That way, we can take action to ensure the safety of the miners."

Pi Yangyang hummed, "First, we need to figure out their location, and then find a way to sneak one of them in. That way, we can be absolutely sure."

"I feel that Patrick must be clear about the layout of the mine, but he seems to be worried about something and dare not say it out loud." Xue Ziming said with a frown.

Pi Yangyang glanced over and saw that Amira hadn't followed him in. He said in a deep voice, "The mine must be strictly managed. Patrick is worried that if he leaks information, he'll be punished by the mine managers. It's understandable that he doesn't dare to speak out for his own safety and the safety of his family."

"But if he doesn't tell us, how can we... know the layout inside?" Xue Ziming frowned.

At this time, Chu Ge said: "Let's go to the mining area and arrest someone to interrogate him and we'll find out."

Pi Yangyang glanced at him and said, "If we do this, won't we alert the enemy?"

Chu Ge suddenly felt a little unhappy. "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. Could it be that we will be stumped by a mining area?"

"Don't worry, we'll find a way." Pi Yangyang said helplessly.

This was the first time he encountered such a difficult problem.

In the past, we just relied on our strength to crush others.

But this time, he didn't dare to act rashly at all.

If he killed Shen Xinjun in a fit of impulse, he would have no way of explaining to Su Xueqing and Shen Yi.

"Well, Brother Pi is right. Don't worry." Xue Ziming nodded in agreement. "As long as we don't alarm them, those Chinese miners will be safe."

Chu Ge said helplessly: "Okay, let's continue waiting."

Pi Yangyang knew that he was not used to the African environment and wanted to rescue people and return home as soon as possible.

"I've consulted with the government and the embassy, ​​and have received a response. Once we're certain someone in China has been deceived and detained, we can launch an attack," Xue Ziming added. "Furthermore, the country's regular armed forces will also assist us in our operations."

Pi Yangyang hummed, "When the time comes, I'm afraid you'll really need to take action. I've seen that they have a lot of armed forces in the mining area, and they also have heavy weapons."

Although he is not afraid of bullets, Chu Ge and others are not.

The other side is well-armed, and if Xue Ziming and others don't help, it will be a big trouble.

"It's nothing, it's what we should do. One of our missions here is to protect the safety of our compatriots."

Xue Ziming said decisively.

The few of them couldn't come up with any conclusion for a while, so they could only put it aside for the time being and find another solution.

At lunch, Amira suggested going back to try to persuade her uncle to reveal the layout of the mine.

But he was stopped by Pi Yangyang.

He felt that Patrick would not dare to say more for the sake of his own safety and that of his family. So even if Amira went to ask him again, it would be fruitless.

Amira had no choice but to give up, but she was secretly worried about Pi Yangyang and others.

No one left the base that day.

The next morning, as soon as Pi Yangyang got up, he heard someone crying outside.

He looked outside curiously and saw Patrick crying and telling something to Amira, looking very sad and anxious.
