Chapter 223 The situation is not good
After a moment's thought, Song Qianyi took out a beautifully prepared gift from her bag.
This gift is a handicraft with Chinese characteristics and is quite valuable.
With a smile on her face, she slowly walked towards the leader, expressing her friendliness and intentions with simple local language and gestures.
The leader initially feigned indifference, but upon seeing the gifts, a glint of greed flashed in his eyes, and his attitude softened slightly.
Taking the opportunity, Song Qianyi reiterated the situation, emphasizing that they were simply legitimate businessmen who came to do business and had no intention of violating local regulations.
With the "lubrication" of gifts and Song Qianyi's skillful maneuvering, the leader finally relented.
At the same time, Song Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief.
The leader shouted a few words at the military and police officers who were making things difficult for them.
Although the military and police officers were unwilling, they had no choice but to stop and reluctantly return the documents and equipment.
Song Qianyi and the others got back into the car, and Hu Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Qianyi, that was close. We ran into this as soon as we came in."
Song Qianyi's expression was grave. "This is just the beginning. Everyone needs to be even more careful from now on."
After the car had been moving slowly forward for a while, Song Qianyi's phone rang. It was Li Qinghuai calling.
“Ms. Song, the people I contacted are already on their way. They are very familiar with the local situation and should be able to meet up with you soon. With their help, the rest of the journey will be smoother.”
Song Qianyi felt a warmth in her heart and expressed her gratitude.
"Thank you for your trouble, Young Master Li. In times of crisis, you still have to rely on your friends."
After driving for about half an hour, an off-road jeep quickly overtook them from behind and then came to a steady stop in front of Song Qianyi's convoy.
Three people got out of the car, the one in the lead being a middle-aged man with dark skin and deep-set eyes.
He walked straight to Song Qianyi and spoke in fluent Chinese.
“Miss Song, I am Qiang. Young Master Li sent me to help you.”
Song Qianyi quickly got out of the car and shook hands with him, exchanging pleasantries.
Ah Qiang looked around, his brows furrowing slightly.
"You've only just entered the country and you're already being harassed. Those military and police are getting more and more outrageous. Luckily you're all alright. The road ahead won't be easy. I'll lead the way, just follow me."
After saying that, he led everyone into a side path. This side path seemed remote, but in fact it could avoid many potential troublesome obstacles.
Along the way, A-Qiang introduced the surrounding situation to Song Qianyi via walkie-talkie.
"The situation in MD country has been turbulent in recent years, with various forces vying for power. The mining area is particularly chaotic. I had heard before that the mountain was already losing money, and I don't know what the situation is now."
"You should be careful when you go over there; there are quite a few people watching that area."
Song Qianyi listened attentively, her brows furrowed. She hadn't expected the system to cause her such a big problem.
It's so much better in China; there's no need to worry about this kind of thing at all.
Upon arriving at a small town, A-Qiang signaled to stop and rest.
The group entered a local restaurant, and as soon as they sat down, Song Qianyi keenly noticed the strange looks from the people at the surrounding tables.
Ah Qiang whispered, "Don't panic. This town is a mixed bag. They probably think we're easy prey."
Even so, he calmly placed his hand on the wooden pistol at his waist, indicating that Song Qianyi and the others could eat in peace.
Just then, the restaurant owner hurried over, a fawning yet nervous smile on his face, and said in broken English.
"Distinguished guests, what would you like to order? We have specialty grilled meats and fine wines."
Ah Qiang responded fluently in the local language, and the boss nodded repeatedly before turning and heading towards the kitchen.
Song Qianyi observed her surroundings discreetly and whispered to A-Qiang.
"It seems we can't stay here long. Let's finish quickly, eat, and leave as soon as possible."
Ah Qiang nodded slightly in agreement.
Soon the dishes were served, and although everyone was a little nervous, they still tried to eat as quickly as possible.
After all, replenishing physical strength is essential.
However, before they could finish eating, several burly men with fierce faces suddenly barged into the restaurant.
The leader, with a thick gold chain around his neck, scanned the store with a fierce look before finally fixing his gaze on Song Qianyi and the others.
He strode over, muttering in the local language. Although I couldn't understand what he was saying, it was clear he had ill intentions.
Ah Qiang quickly stood up and stood in front of Song Qianyi, responding in the local language with a firm tone.
After a few words of back-and-forth negotiation, the situation became increasingly tense, and the burly men began to surround them, their hands intentionally or unintentionally reaching for their waists.
Song Qianyi inwardly cried out in alarm. Chao Xi Er and Hu Xiyu exchanged a glance, and the security team members also quietly went on alert.
