Chapter 264 Qi Tongwei Didn’t Run Away
He began to think about how to find more helpers to complete this difficult task together.
Qi Tongwei paced back and forth in the hotel room, feeling extremely anxious.
He knew very well that time was running out, and the longer Chen Yang stayed in northern Myanmar, the more dangerous he would be.
He must act quickly and find reliable help.
However, in this strange and chaotic border area, it is not easy to find people willing to take the risk to help him.
Qi Tongwei decided to start with the hotel owner.
He felt that the hotel owner had lived here for many years and might have a better understanding of the local situation and might also know some people with a sense of justice.
So Qi Tongwei found the hotel owner and tried to communicate with him.
The hotel owner looked at Qi Tongwei with suspicion in his eyes.
In this place, strangers often mean trouble.
The hotel owner asked cautiously: "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Qi Tongwei answered sincerely: "Boss, I am here to look for someone. My friend was deceived and taken to northern Myanmar. I want to save her. I know it is very dangerous here, but I can't give up. I hope you can help me or give me some advice."
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, the hotel owner did not immediately express sympathy or help.
On the contrary, he felt that Qi Tongwei was a very suspicious person.
In this chaotic place, people live for their own interests and few will take risks for others.
The hotel owner thought that this person might be an undercover police officer, or he might be here to cause trouble.
So, the hotel owner decided to stabilize Qi Tongwei first and then find a way to deal with him.
The hotel owner said hypocritically: "Oh, so that's how it is. Then you are really a man of loyalty. However, northern Myanmar is not a good place. It is very dangerous. You can't go there alone. You need some help. I don't know anyone who can help you, but you can ask those who do business on the border. Maybe they can give you some clues."
After listening to the hotel owner's words, Qi Tongwei felt that there was some truth in them.
He thanked the innkeeper and prepared to go look for those doing business across the border.
However, he didn't know that after he left, the hotel owner immediately contacted the thief company and prepared to give him a taste of his own medicine.
In the evening, night gradually falls.
Qi Tongwei was still thinking about how to find help and had no idea that danger was approaching.
Suddenly, a group of people approached his room quietly.
These people are members of a thief company. After receiving news from the hotel owner, they decided to teach Qi Tongwei a lesson.
The people from the thieves' company acted quickly. They broke into the room and surrounded Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei was startled by this sudden situation, but he quickly calmed down.
He knew that he couldn't panic and had to find a way to deal with it.
Qi Tongwei looked at the thieves and was filled with anger. He asked them, "What do you want to do? Why did you break into my room?"
A leader of the thieves' company sneered and said, "You, a stranger, came to our territory and asked around. We suspect you are an undercover police officer or you are here to cause trouble. Today, we will teach you a lesson and let you know the rules here."
Qi Tongwei said fearlessly: "I am not an undercover police officer, nor am I here to cause trouble. I am only here to save my friend. Don't mess around, or you will regret it."
The people from the thief company didn't listen to Qi Tongwei's explanation at all, and they started to attack Qi Tongwei.
Qi Tongwei fought hard, but he was outnumbered and was quickly subdued.
The people from the thieves company tied Qi Tongwei up in an abandoned warehouse.
The warehouse was dark and damp, with a pungent smell.
Qi Tongwei was thrown to the ground, his heart filled with despair.
He didn't expect that he would get into trouble before he found help.
Qi Tongwei began to think about how to escape. He observed the warehouse environment, looking for possible opportunities.
He found that although the door of the warehouse was locked, the windows were not completely closed.
He decided to wait until the thieves' company left and then escape through the window.
However, the people from the Thieves Company did not leave immediately.
They discussed in the warehouse how to deal with Qi Tongwei.
Some said they should hand him over to the criminal gang in exchange for some benefits; others said they should kill him directly to avoid future troubles.
Qi Tongwei became even more nervous as he listened to their discussion.
He knew that he had to find a way to escape as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Just when Qi Tongwei was falling into despair, he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps.
He was delighted, thinking someone came to rescue him.
However, when he listened carefully, he found that the footsteps were getting farther and farther away.
It turned out to be just a passerby.
Qi Tongwei felt very disappointed, but he did not give up hope.
He continued to wait for his opportunity.
Finally, the people from the thief company finished their discussion and decided to lock Qi Tongwei up here first and make a decision tomorrow.
After they left the warehouse, they locked the door.
Qi Tongwei heard their footsteps fading away and immediately took action.
He struggled to his feet and walked to the window.
He pushed the window open and climbed out carefully.
When Qi Tongwei jumped out of the window, what came into his sight was an abandoned warehouse.
The warehouse was filled with a rotten smell. In the dim light, he saw a scene that shocked him - the corner of the warehouse was filled with the bones of many dead people.
These skeletons do not appear to be Chinese, and most of them have some characteristics of people from the border areas of Myanmar.
A strong feeling of anger and sorrow surged in Qi Tongwei's heart. He immediately understood that this gang of thieves was colluding with those guys on the Myanmar border both inside and outside, and the severity of their power was far beyond his imagination.
Qi Tongwei stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.
He began to observe the warehouse carefully, trying to find more clues.
He found some strange marks on the walls of the warehouse, which seemed to be some kind of secret code.
There are also some dragging marks on the ground, indicating that many unknown crimes have occurred here.
He thought about what he had experienced since coming to this border area, the rampant thieves' gangs, the suspicious behavior of the hotel owner, and now this warehouse full of corpses. All of this showed that the chaos and darkness here were caused by collusion between internal and external forces.
Criminal gangs on the Myanmar border have colluded with local criminals to form a large and complex criminal network.
They engage in various illegal and criminal activities, including human trafficking, drug dealing, theft and robbery, etc., bringing great pain and disaster to the local people.
