Chapter 263: The Loyal Qi Tongwei
But the thief was obviously very familiar with the terrain here, and he disappeared into the intricate alleys after a few turns.
Qi Tongwei frowned. He didn't expect that there would be such rampant theft in this land.
Moreover, he also discovered that there seemed to be some organized thief companies here.
They have a clear division of labor: some are responsible for stealing, some are responsible for transferring the stolen goods, and some are responsible for selling the stolen goods.
The existence of these thief gangs makes local residents and passers-by feel nervous.
In addition to the thief gangs, there are all kinds of bad things going on here.
In a simple hotel, Qi Tongwei heard some complaints from travelers.
It turns out that some hotel owners here deliberately raise room prices, and even charge extra fees for various reasons after guests check in.
If the guests disagree, they will be threatened and intimidated.
There are also some small vendors who manipulate the price and quality of goods.
They sell inferior products as good ones and charge exorbitant prices, causing great suffering to outsiders who are unaware of the situation.
Qi Tongwei saw a tourist arguing with a vendor because he bought a high-priced and low-quality souvenir, and was finally surrounded by a group of unidentified people who threatened him not to tell anyone.
The traffic here is also very chaotic.
Vehicles were rushing around in the narrow streets, not obeying traffic rules at all.
Pedestrians walking through traffic are in danger of being hit at any time.
Moreover, the public transportation facilities here are very simple, with few trains and poor conditions, making it very difficult for people to travel.
Qi Tongwei couldn't help but sigh that in this border area of China, there was actually such a purgatory-like place on earth.
People here live in fear and anxiety, with no sense of security or happiness.
Qi Tongwei decided to find a small hotel to stay in first so that he could better survey the situation on the border.
He dragged his tired body through the streets looking for a suitable place to live.
However, fate seemed to play a cruel joke on him again at this time.
When he was about to check in, he was horrified to find that his ID card was lost.
A feeling of despair suddenly surged in Qi Tongwei's heart.
He stood on the street and couldn't help cursing.
The people around him looked at him strangely, but he no longer cared about that.
His mind was in a mess, with all kinds of thoughts intertwined together, making him feel extremely irritated.
He began to recall the places where he might have lost his ID card, trying to piece together in his mind the routes he had taken and the people he had come into contact with.
But in this strange and chaotic place, everything seems so unclear.
He didn't know who to turn to or where to start looking.
Qi Tongwei looked at the people coming and going, his heart filled with despair towards this world.
The people here seem to be busy making a living, and no one is willing to stop and care about the plight of a stranger.
He felt more lonely and helpless than ever before.
This despair is not only because of the loss of ID card, but also because of the deep disappointment with the local security situation.
In this place, crime is rampant and people live in fear.
He began to doubt whether he could complete the mission and successfully rescue Chen Yang.
All kinds of confusing images kept emerging in Qi Tongwei's mind.
He remembered the rampant activities of the thieves, the fraud of the hotel owners, and the small vendors who sold inferior goods as good ones.
These things made him doubt the humanity of this place.
He didn't know who he could trust in such an environment.
He felt himself trapped in an inescapable dilemma.
Without an ID card, he could not move normally or contact the outside world.
He even began to worry that he would be questioned by the police as a suspicious person, which made him feel even more depressed.
Qi Tongwei wandered on the street for a long time, trying to find a solution to the problem.
He walked into a small shop, hoping to borrow a phone to call his colleagues in China for help.
However, the shop owner looked at him warily and rejected his request.
Qi Tongwei left reluctantly, his heart filled with bitterness.
He continued walking down the street, observing his surroundings.
He found the streets narrow and crowded, and the houses dilapidated.
Graffiti and garbage can be seen everywhere on the walls, giving people a depressing feeling.
He couldn't help but think how difficult it must be for people living in such an environment.
Qi Tongwei's mood became increasingly heavy.
He began to reflect on whether his actions were too impulsive.
He thought he could handle all difficulties with courage and wisdom, but now it seems that he still underestimated the complexity of this place.
He thought of Chen Yang, the girl trapped in northern Myanmar.
She must be experiencing great pain and fear now.
Qi Tongwei felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was even heavier.
He can't give up, no matter how difficult it is, he must persevere.
Qi Tongwei sat in the simple hotel room, his thoughts drifting back to the past.
He recalled every detail of his time with Chen Yang, and those beautiful memories unfolded before his eyes like scrolls.
Qi Tongwei was born into a poor family and suffered the hardships of life since childhood.
But he has always worked hard to improve himself, eager to change his destiny through his own efforts.
In his life, Chen Yang is a special existence.
They had spent many wonderful times together, when they were full of youthful vitality and longing for the future.
Chen Yang’s first pair of sneakers was bought by Qi Tongwei.
At that time, he lived frugally for a long time just to give Chen Yang a surprise.
When Chen Yang received the pair of sneakers, a happy smile appeared on his face. At that moment, Qi Tongwei felt that everything was worth it.
They walked around the campus together and talked about their future dreams. That time was so beautiful.
However, the gears of fate turned inadvertently, and they eventually separated for various reasons.
But Qi Tongwei's feelings for Chen Yang have never changed, and that deep friendship has always been buried deep in his heart.
Now, Chen Yang is in a desperate situation, and Qi Tongwei knows that he can't just sit back and watch.
He took out a photo of Chen Yang from his bag. Looking at the familiar smile in the photo, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but shed tears.
He remembered Chen Yang's kindness, bravery and strength. She had always been the girl he admired.
Qi Tongwei knew that he had to rescue her no matter what the cost.
At this moment, Qi Tongwei decided that even if he didn't have an ID card, he must go undercover to the northern Myanmar border to rescue Chen Yang.
He understood that his power was limited, but he couldn't give up.
