Chapter 5 It’s logical
Gao Yi's time of wakefulness became longer and longer, and his time of sleep became shorter and shorter.

But life was not easy after waking up, because Gao Yi could not do anything when he was awake.

There were no mobile phones or televisions. Only a nurse could say a few words, but the nurse spoke Thai. Gao Yi had nothing to say except Sawadee ka.

Also, although this nurse is a woman, she is short, dark, fat and ugly!
It was not until the fifth day after Gao Yi woke up, when he was finally able to sit on the hospital bed instead of lying down, that Luca finally came again.

When Luca entered the room and saw Gao Yi sitting, a smile appeared on his face.

After closing the door of the ward and standing at the entrance, Luca smiled and said, "You've recovered well. You were seriously injured. It's amazing that you can sit up so quickly."

Gao Yi had been looking forward to Luca's arrival, so he was really excited at this moment, and then he said anxiously: "You are finally here, why don't you show up after you left? I said, can you give me a cell phone? Now I just lie in bed every day, I am so bored."

Luca spread his hands and said, "The doctor forbids you to play with your phone. It's not good for your recovery. Be patient for a few days and play when you feel better."

Gao Yi was stunned for a while, and finally said: "Okay..."

Luca said without hesitation: "I came here today to check on your condition and to pay the medical bills. Your medical bills are now thirty-six thousand four hundred and twenty-two dollars."

I haven't seen you for a few days, so when we meet I remind you how much money Gao Yi owes.

Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he found that he was really afraid of hearing these numbers.

“It’s so expensive…”

Luca seemed offended. He immediately said, "Expensive? Is this expensive? If it were in the United States, at least add a zero at the end! Thailand's medical level is very good, and it's very cheap. You have to understand your condition. It's illegal for doctors to treat you. This is... uh, it's really expensive."

I said before that it is not expensive because the medical costs in Thailand are indeed not high, and the level is indeed relatively high in Southeast Asia.

He changed his words and said it was expensive because Luca remembered that he had paid for it.

Gao Yi was very embarrassed: "Don't be angry, I just said it casually. After all, I have no money. I feel embarrassed to always ask you to pay for it. I really feel embarrassed."

Luca's face looked better, but he still stood at the door of the ward. After looking Gao Yi up and down, he suddenly asked, "You don't regret it, do you?"

Gao Yi said in bewilderment, "Repent? What regret? Oh! Are you worried that I won't cooperate? That's not the case. I will never regret what I said."

Luca nodded, then he smiled and said, "That's good, you take a rest, I'll go talk to the doctor, bye."

"Hey... leaving now?"

Luca opened the door with his backhand, walked out of the ward backwards, and then closed the door again.

The ward was not very big, but the bed was at least four or five meters away from the door. If Luca really just came to visit Gao Yi, he would have to walk to the bedside to talk.

Gao Yi sat on the hospital bed in shock. He stared blankly at the door and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

Luca was always standing at the door, guarding against him!

When Gao Yi was almost dead from being shot, he was still able to kill six people. Now, although his wounds have not healed yet and he can't even get out of bed, Luca still has to be on guard against him.

No wonder Luca refused to come closer after entering the house.

After realizing this, Gao Yi was not angry.

That's right, as a killer, he must be very vigilant. Luca is also Gao Yi's creditor, so he must be even more vigilant.
After all, if Gao Yi suddenly killed Luca and then ran away with his body that had recovered a lot, it would not be impossible.

Extending from this, Gao Yi suddenly felt that Luca's refusal to give him a mobile phone to pass the time was not at all for his health.

Luca's mission to make a lot of money is to kill a warlord named Gray Horace. Since he is a warlord, he should be a well-known figure, and it is very likely that you can find out who he is by searching on the Internet.

If it was a simple character, Luca wouldn't have to invest in Gao Yi who was seriously injured and dying.

So it's a simple logic that this Gray Horace must be a powerful character, a very dangerous one. Luca is afraid that Gao Yi will not dare to cooperate with him after knowing this.

After thinking all this through, Gao Yi was still not angry.

I just feel that there are so many cunning people in the underworld.

But then again, it would be okay for someone who is involved in the underworld to be less cunning.

Putting himself in Luca's shoes, Gao Yi felt that if he were Luca, he would probably also be having a headache right now.

A partner who is super powerful in close combat, but whose background and origin are unknown, and he is completely unfamiliar with him and has no trust at all. If Luca really waits for his injuries to heal completely, how should he restrain himself?
How could Luca guarantee that he would pay back the money? Even more, how could Luca guarantee that he would not kill him?

Now Gao Yi feels that it is right for Luca to be on guard against him, but if Luca is on guard against him, should he also be on guard against Luca?

Come to think of it, this problem is not easy to solve.

So how can Luka break through? Or, how can Luka build up initial confidence?
If Luca can't build trust, what should he do?

Gao Yi thought about it for a long time, and put himself in Luca's shoes. The only way was to let him see the possibility of making a lot of money by cooperating. That was inducement, but it was the kind of inducement that would benefit both parties, rather than giving him money directly.

Gao Yi thought so, and on the tenth day, he got the answer.

That day, Gao Yinen was helped by the nurse to get out of bed and walk a few steps, and just when he lay down again, Luca came.

He knocked on the door first, then Luca pushed it open and walked in. When he opened the door, he stayed at the door for a while, because only in this way could Gao Yi see the two Southeast Asians behind him.

They look very strong, with bulges around their waists. They must be two people with weapons.

The door of the ward was not closed. Luca took two steps forward and stood at the end of Gao Yi's bed. He said with concern, "You can get out of bed now. It's really fast. Um, your medical expenses are 45,000 US dollars. I just paid off all the balance. Your medical bills will not get longer in the future."

Gao Yi looked at the two Southeast Asians at the door. He thought for a moment and asked, "Your friend?"

"Oh, yes, my two friends."

This time Luca brought bodyguards.

Come to think of it, it made sense. When they met for the first time, Gao Yi had just woken up, so Luca dared to stand by his bed. The second time he woke up and was able to sit up, Luca only dared to stand at the door.

Since Gao Yi can get out of bed this time, Luca will have to bring bodyguards to intimidate him.

Should I speak frankly or pretend to be confused?

Gao Yi thought it would be better to just say it directly, so that Luca wouldn't be nervous every time they met, which would be detrimental to the cooperation.

"I am sick, very sick."

Luca stared at Gao Yi in shock, and said with fear: "Apart from being injured, are you also sick? What's the illness?"

Luca's voice began to tremble.

“Poverty disease.”

"Poverty disease? What does that mean?"

Never mind. Luca can’t follow this joke.

Gao Yi said seriously: "I have a serious poverty disease. This disease is difficult to cure for most people, but it is easy to cure for me. As long as I exchange my life for it, it will be fine."

Luca suddenly realized what Gao Yi meant, so he said helplessly: "Just say you are poor, why do you have to use such an obscure metaphor? I just told you the amount of the medical expenses, not asking you to pay it immediately."

Gao Yi was also helpless. He smiled bitterly and said, "What I mean is that I am very poor and I need to make money to pay off my debts. I must cooperate with you to make money, so you don't have to be so defensive against me and don't have to be afraid that I will kill you and default on your debts. I think you will understand now."

Luca really didn't understand Eastern subtlety, but when things came to this, he finally understood what Gao Yi meant.

There was no embarrassment on Luca's face. He was even more relaxed and said, "You are a smart person. This is very good, very good..."

"I will repay a favor and acknowledge a debt. You will understand me in the future. As for now, can we talk about the mission?"

After thinking for a moment, Luca said seriously: "In the scavenger's operating room, I found that you should have been shot in the heart but you didn't die, and there were four bodies around you, all killed in one shot. Most importantly, I confirmed that you did it after being seriously injured. At that moment, I knew you were the one I was looking for."

Gao Yi didn't say anything, he just listened to Luca quietly.

"I admit that I was a little too excited at the time. After all, I have been in this industry for so many years and have never seen a ruthless person like you. So I took a gamble and placed a heavy bet on you!"

Gao Yi spread his hands and said, "Then I can only say that you made the right bet."

Luca smiled and said, "I have always wanted to complete a big task, a big task that can make a lot of money and become famous! Now my chance has come, man, and it is also your chance."

"Then tell me, I'll go as soon as I'm fully recovered."

Luca glanced outside, looking at the two bodyguards outside the door, and then he whispered, "Answer me a question first, were you really not a killer before?"

Here it comes, as expected, the main part of the drama has really arrived, the transition before the big task has arrived.

Gao Yi immediately said: "I'm really not a killer."

Luca exhaled, and said with a hint of regret: "Then you can't just go for the big missions. You have to get familiar with the characteristics of the assassin's work first and accumulate some experience. After all, an assassin can't just go up and kill someone. What do you think?"

"I think... that makes sense. Let's take on a few small tasks to practice."

"Okay, since we are partners, then of course we should discuss what missions to take. Come, you can take a look. There are several suitable missions here. The most important thing is that they are relatively close to us. You can choose one."

Luca felt good. He felt that everything was on the right track. He took out his cell phone and handed it to Gao Yi.

Gao Yi also felt good. As he expected, the two of them had established initial trust and could proceed to the next step of the novice task.
