When it is 4 o'clock in the morning in China, it is just midnight in Saudi Arabia, and the lights in the city are at their brightest.
The flight arrived over Riyadh, and everyone started filling out the customs declaration form. Gu Laosan held the pen, his eyes blank, and he was still thinking about whether Wang An was angry with him.
Standing next to him in the aisle, Han Da Xia, who was rarely wearing a suit, frowned as he watched the guy copy his application form including his name and age. He helplessly called the flight attendant to ask for another one, then slapped the guy back to his senses.
"Xiao Gu, you have been so worried all this time. What are you thinking about?"
"Well, Brother Han..."
Gu Laosan first took the new application form from the flight attendant, but did not rush to fill it out. Instead, he turned his head and asked seriously, "Do you have a partner?"
Han Daxia: …
Damn, you haven't been thinking about this question all the way
"Ahem..."
Silently taking back the hand that was on someone's shoulder, he raised his butt and quietly moved a little distance away. Han Daxia said with a vigilant look: "No, what's wrong?"
"Oh! Forget it then!"
Gu Laosan sighed, rolled his eyes, and muttered, "You won't understand even if I tell you. Single dogs like you, how can you understand my melancholy!"
"What the… shit?"
Han Daxia opened his mouth wide, and his heart was suddenly hit hard. He thought, my buddy is known as the most promising golden bachelor in the department, but he is despised by a salted fish as a single dog? Damn, what's wrong with single dogs? Do they eat your rice or drink your sesame oil
Someone's face was dark until he got off the plane.
The plane was flying in the direction of the sunset, and the night became particularly long, adding 5 hours to the night. When Dahei got up and dragged the wolf Xiaosi up the mountain, a badger in Saudi Arabia was squatting in an aviation box, waiting for dawn in the isolation area.
"It's going to be another long week..."
Wang Ping sighed, and his belly beneath his clothes groaned.
In order to avoid having to go to the toilet on the way, Wang Ping had not eaten anything since the start, and refused to let Gu Lao San tempt him with snacks. However, after a 19-hour journey, Wang Ping was afraid that he would have to wait until dawn for his next meal, which was a bit unbearable.
"I'm so hungry..."
A badger was lying limply in a box, staring at the small animals in other boxes with his eyes full of appetite through the gap of the airline box. A parrot next to the badger was squatting in the corner farthest from him and had already started plucking its own feathers.
Not long after, just when Wang Ping was forcing himself to fall asleep, he heard footsteps approaching, and then Wang Ping felt his airline box being picked up.
Through the gap, I saw a young man in a customs uniform carrying a box and walking toward a passage outside the quarantine area. Beside him was a man in a suit holding something like a form. The two of them were talking as they walked, seemingly handing over something.
Unfortunately, the two people were not speaking English, and Wang Ping could not understand a word they said.
"What do you mean? Just because I'm not a local badger, I don't want to be humanely euthanized, do I?"
After all, the laws of each country are all very different, and a badger can't help but worry. Quietly moving his stiff limbs, Wang Ping decided that if things went wrong, he would ignore Gu Lao San, because his own life was the most important.
However, despite all the worries, no one tried to open the box. The customs officer walked through a passage carrying a badger, took the form from the man, and then handed the air box to him.
About 20 minutes later, after the man carried the box through several passages, Wang Ping heard two familiar voices, those of a certain Xianyu and Han Daxia.
"What's going on? No more quarantine?" A badger was a little confused.
"Brother Han, no no, Master Han! You can do it!"
A certain insignificant person was shouting and screaming, looking in amazement at a certain badger that was sent out of the quarantine area so openly, and then he was slapped hard by the hero Han and told to shut up.
Gu Laosan immediately followed him obediently, watching Han Daxia walk forward and nod to the man in the suit like a younger brother, then took the airline box without saying a word and turned away.
Someone's face was so serious that someone dared not say anything. The two of them pushed the luggage and hurriedly took someone out of the airport. When they arrived at the taxi area, Gu Laosan couldn't help but whispered quietly: "Brother Han, what do you do? You are so wild, are you an agent?"
"Your brother-in-law!"
Han Da Xia rolled his eyes and said with a pout, "There's a friend of mine in there. I asked him to give it to me for a favor. It's not as complicated as you think!"
"Is it that simple?" Gu Lang frowned, looking disappointed. He said with a long face, "I thought you were a hidden agent, just like 007. It turns out you used the back door. Ha!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Go to the hotel and get some rest. We'll set off for the Bukhari Desert tomorrow."
Hero Han raised his hand to stop a taxi, pulled someone and said.
"No way, are you in such a hurry?"
Gu Lao San was stunned, frowned and said, "Shouldn't we adjust to the time difference first and play for a few days or something?"
"That's it..." Han Daxia stopped and put his hand on Gu Laosan's shoulder and sighed, "I'm going to visit a friend in Cell in a few days. I'm only free these few days. You can have fun on your own from now on."
"Emm..."
Wang Ping squatted in the air box, quietly observing Han Daxia's expression and tone through the gap. He didn't believe a single punctuation mark in what this guy said.
Do you have any friends there? Are you asking for favors
Only Gu Laosan would believe such nonsense.
Wang Ping personally saw the man in a suit handing over some documents to the customs, which were stamped with a lot of seals and signatures. This showed that he had left the quarantine area through some special channel, and it was not as casual as someone said.
Besides, the laws in Saudi Arabia are so strict, and Wang Ping doesn’t believe that Han’s favor is so valuable.
However, what Han Daxia said just now surprised a certain badger. From his tone, it seemed that the live broadcast with someone was an unexpected part of his plan, so he wanted to deal with it first and then go about his own business.
"Could it be true as he said, that it was Gu Lao San who pestered me and insisted on following him?"
A badger scratched the hair on his head that was about to be combed off by his grandmother, and began to miss his teammates. This kind of work of guessing people's thoughts is too brain-consuming.
Before the badger could figure it out, the air box moved and was stuffed into the trunk of a taxi. Then, the trunk was closed tightly with a "bang" by Han Daxia.
"Fuck, Han, you dare to let me sit in the trunk?"
Southwest of Riyadh, on the edge of the Bu Khali Desert, there is a small desert town called Kabash.
At this time, in a hotel suite in downtown Kabash, several members of Team 3 were monitoring the movements in the upstairs room.
"Aren't these people too cautious? They've been to several cities, is that necessary?"
In the room, Sama, who was obviously tanned, was leaning on the sofa, mumbling while applying a facial mask. Beside her, the black boy Ilu was wearing a pair of monitoring headphones, frowning and glaring from time to time, as if he had heard something extraordinary.
Luke was standing aside polishing a gleaming silver pistol. When he heard the little girl's complaint, he turned his head and smiled, "After all, it's a gray trade. These Thais probably don't have any legal identities, so they have to sneak around when they go out. But the benefits are also obvious. No matter what they do, as long as they are not caught on the spot, there will be no evidence. What do you think, Anna?"
Standing in front of the window of the room, Anna, who was looking at the night sky with her shoulders folded, turned her head back with a frown on her face, as if she couldn't figure out something.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Luke asked with a frown.
Anna shook her head and talked about something else: "I always feel that things have been going too smoothly since we arrived in Saudi Arabia. It's like someone arranged everything in advance. I always feel uneasy."
"There's movement!" The black guy suddenly looked up: "Someone called them! The tone sounded like the seller!"
…
"Wow, you actually booked a hotel in advance?"
Gu Laosan was standing at the entrance of a magnificent hotel, pushing a pile of luggage, and patted Han Daxia on the shoulder in amazement: "Sure, Brother Han, everything has been arranged in advance. Whoever marries you will definitely be very happy!"
"Ahem..."
Han pushed someone's hand away, carefully distanced himself from him again, and said with an awkward smile: "It's all my friends who are helping me out of face. I'm actually quite careless and have a lot of bad habits! Really!"
