Brother, just how powerful is our family?

Chapter 8: The Road to Black Continent

She paused, then added, "My brother owns a conglomerate in Africa, but to be honest, I don't really know what they do. I need to find out gradually."

The comments continued to scroll:

"A group company? What kind of group?"

"The camera panned outside just now, and I think I saw an armored vehicle? Was I seeing things?"

"You're not seeing things upstairs, I saw it too, it's an armored vehicle!"

"What's going on? Yao Yao, what does your brother do for a living?"

Qin Yao looked at the comments on the screen and then hesitated before glancing at Qin Feng.

"Brother, can I show the fans the convoy outside?" Qin Yao asked softly.

"Okay, have the driver open the sunroof."

The driver, who was actually a cyborg bodyguard in disguise, immediately pressed the control button upon hearing this.

The panoramic sunroof slowly opened, and the cool air of the African night sky rushed into the car, carrying the unique scent of grass and earth.

Qin Yao carefully stood up, leaned her upper body out of the sunroof, and pointed her phone camera at the surroundings.

In the live broadcast, three Mengshi armored vehicles with desert camouflage paint were clearly visible in the foreground, and the heavy machine guns on the roofs gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

On both sides and behind, more armed vehicles maintained a tight escort formation.

The entire convoy traveled through the African night, its headlights piercing the darkness like a moving dragon of light.

There was a brief pause in the chat, followed by a frenzy of comments:

"Holy crap! Armored vehicles! Heavy machine guns!"

"Is this a movie shoot?"

"Yaoyao, what exactly does your brother do? Is he a warlord?"

"Are those guns real? Or are they props?"

"This is quite a grand affair; even a national team's trip wouldn't be this big, would it?"

Qin Yao put her phone away, sat back in the car, and said with an excited blush, "Everyone saw it, right? My brother said these are all the company's security forces. When doing business in Africa, safety is the top priority."

She looked at Qin Feng: "Brother, are these weapons real?"

Qin Feng smiled slightly at the camera: "Of course it's true. But don't worry, all of this is legal security equipment. We have complete gun licenses and weapon registration. In Africa, especially in the areas we operate in, having a certain level of self-defense capability is essential."

The live chat exploded again:

"Legitimate armored vehicles and heavy machine guns? What level of security company must that be?"

"My brother's voice is so gentle, but what he does is so hardcore!"

"Am I the only one who noticed those armed personnel? They all looked so professional, like special forces."

"Yaoyao, ask your brother if the company is still hiring? I want to work in Africa!"

Qin Yao was amused by the comments, which lightened the atmosphere considerably. She then pointed the camera out the window, letting her fans see the scenery along the way.

The African wilderness at night has a unique charm.

Moonlight spilled across the vast land, with the faint outlines of mountains in the distance and sparse shrubs and grasslands nearby.

Occasionally, you can see the eyes of animals reflecting light in the dark; it's unclear whether they are antelopes or some other wild animal.

The convoy maintained a steady speed, and the sound insulation inside the vehicles was excellent, so the engine noise was almost inaudible, with only the faint sound of the air conditioning system.

"We're going to my brother's place now. He said it's quite remote and will take several hours to drive there," Qin Yao explained to the camera. "But it won't be boring on the way, because my brother said there are many checkpoints belonging to his company along the way, which we can show you later."

As they were talking, lights appeared ahead.

It was a makeshift checkpoint, surrounded by sandbags and barbed wire, with searchlights mounted on two watchtowers, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

Several fully armed soldiers stood by the roadblock, and immediately stood at attention and saluted when they saw the convoy approaching.

The lead armored vehicle, a Mengshi, stopped, and a soldier stepped forward to check identification.

The entire process was swift and professional; the roadblocks were removed in less than a minute, and the convoy continued on its way.

Qin Yao filmed the entire scene. The live chat exploded with comments:

"This checkpoint... looks very professional."

"The soldiers' salutes were so precise, as if they had received rigorous training."

"When the camera zoomed in just now, I saw the rifle in the soldier's hand. It looks like a new domestically produced model?"

"What kind of company must this be to be able to set up its own checkpoint in Africa?"

Qin Yao looked at Qin Feng: "Brother, the fans are asking why your company is allowed to set up its own checkpoints? Isn't anyone doing anything about it?"

Qin Feng patiently explained, "We have a cooperation agreement with the local government. We are responsible for maintaining the safety and order of this area, and in return, the government allows us to set up necessary security facilities. This is beneficial to both parties. We ensure the safety of our production and operations, the government reduces its security pressure, and we can also obtain tax revenue and employment opportunities from our business activities."

His explanation was reasonable, and the number of doubts in the comments section decreased significantly, replaced by curiosity and admiration.

"I see, this cooperation model is quite good."

"Many local governments in Africa are indeed unable to maintain public order, and cooperating with enterprises is a win-win situation."

"But being able to achieve this level shows that Yao Yao's brother's company is very powerful."

The convoy continued on its way. Every few dozen kilometers, it encountered a similar checkpoint.

Sometimes they are simple roadblocks and sentries, and sometimes they are fixed outposts equipped with light armored vehicles and heavy firepower.

The soldiers at each checkpoint were well-trained and would stand at attention and salute whenever they saw a convoy pass by.

The number of viewers in Qin Yao's live stream continues to grow.

It started with only a few hundred people, but now it has exceeded ten thousand and is still growing rapidly.

After all, it's extremely rare to see a Chinese girl livestreaming in Africa, showcasing a luxury convoy, armed escorts, and checkpoints along the way... on domestic platforms.

More importantly, it all felt terrifyingly real: the swaying car body, the realistic African night view outside the window, the sun-tanned skin and serious expressions of the checkpoint soldiers... No film company could create such realistic special effects.

"Yaoyao, ask your brother if we can see the weapons after we get to our accommodation?" a fan asked in the live chat.

Qin Yao relayed the question. Qin Feng thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay. As long as you pay attention to safety, I can have someone give you a trial run with light weapons. Heavy weapons are out of the question; that requires specialized training."

"That's great!" Qin Yao exclaimed excitedly to the camera, "My brother promised! I'll show everyone real guns and ammunition then!"

The screen was immediately flooded with comments expressing "anticipation".

Then, another checkpoint appeared ahead.

This checkpoint was much larger, with not only roadblocks and watchtowers, but also two wheeled armored vehicles parked nearby.

A dozen soldiers stood ready, their weapons now more sophisticated.

As the convoy passed by, all the soldiers saluted in unison, their movements as precise as a military parade.

Qin Yao pointed the camera at this scene and whispered to her fans, "This checkpoint is huge, it looks like a small military base..."

Before the words were even finished, a striking comment appeared on the screen: "I'm a veteran, and I can say with certainty that the movements and postures of those soldiers in the footage just now were definitely the result of top-notch military training. Their equipment and tactical positioning were also highly professional; this is beyond the level of ordinary security companies."

This comment attracted a lot of attention:

"Really? A veteran testifying about it?"

"I also think those soldiers were too professional, unlike ordinary security guards."

"Yaoyao, what's the background of your brother's company?"

Seeing these comments, Qin Yao felt a little uneasy. She turned to Qin Feng and said, "Brother, some veteran fans said your security personnel are too professional, unlike ordinary security guards..."

Qin Feng remained unfazed: "When our company recruits, we do indeed give priority to those with military backgrounds. Many of our employees are veterans; they are experienced and well-trained. Moreover, our company has a complete training system, and all security personnel undergo rigorous training before starting work."

This explanation convinced most people once again.

After all, hiring veterans at high salaries and providing them with professional training is a common practice in the security industry.
