Chapter 272 The Captain is Looking for Someone to Do Something
The hooligans laughed at the captain's words. "Haha, what era is it now? You still believe in love. It's really funny. Captain, have you been brainwashed by Qi Tongwei?"
The captain's face turned serious, and he said loudly: "Don't laugh! Love is a very powerful force. It can make people brave and strong.
Qi Tongwei is a good example.
For the sake of his beloved, he dared to challenge all difficulties.
Although we are gangsters, we should also have our own principles and bottom line.
Helping others is also a virtue.”
The gangsters were silent for a moment, and one of them said, "Captain, you sound nice.
But going to the Myanmar border is no joke. If anything happens to us, who will be held responsible?"
The captain said firmly: "I will take responsibility. If anything happens to you, I will do my best to help your family.
Besides, I will go with you. I will not let you face danger alone."
As soon as the captain finished speaking, the gangsters started complaining again.
"Who can do anything without money? Captain, you can't just talk big, you have to be practical."
A gangster said with squinted eyes.
The captain frowned, feeling helpless.
He knew that these little hooligans would never do anything without a profit, but he didn't expect them to be so greedy at this time.
However, in order to get them to help rescue Qi Tongwei's ex-girlfriend, the captain decided to stabilize them first.
The captain thought about it, then said, “Okay, I’ll treat you to a meal and a drink.
Let's go to the restaurant first and discuss this matter."
When the gangsters heard that there would be food and drinks, they showed joy on their faces.
They followed the captain to a restaurant.
Although this restaurant doesn't look big, you can feel a unique atmosphere as soon as you walk in.
Although the restaurant's decoration is simple, it is very exquisite.
There are some local characteristic paintings hanging on the wall, and the tables and chairs are neatly arranged, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling.
The restaurant owner came over warmly and was a little surprised to see the captain with a group of thugs, but he quickly returned to normal.
"What would you like to eat? Although we don't have many dishes here, each one is carefully prepared and the taste is absolutely authentic."
The boss said with a smile.
The captain nodded and said, "Serve all your specialties and get a few bottles of good wine."
The boss responded and went to the kitchen to make arrangements.
After a while, dishes that were delicious and tasty were served on the table.
There are fragrant braised pork, golden fried chicken, tender and delicious boiled fish, and a variety of special stir-fried and cold dishes.
Every dish was mouth-watering.
When the gangsters saw these delicacies, their eyes lit up.
They couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks and start eating.
The captain couldn't help feeling emotional as he watched them wolf down the food.
These hooligans usually hang out on the streets, and it is rare for them to have such an opportunity to enjoy delicious food.
After three rounds of drinks and five kinds of dishes, the gangsters were all satisfied.
However, they did not forget to ask for money.
A gangster burped and said, "Captain, eating alone is not enough, we need some money.
It is so dangerous to go to the Myanmar border. Who would be willing to go without money?"
The captain was immediately displeased when he heard this. He had not expected these hooligans to go so far.
"Don't go too far! I've already treated you to a meal, what else do you want? This is originally a favor, how can you keep asking for money?" said the captain angrily.
The hooligans were not to be outdone, they all stood up and confronted the captain. "Captain, don't be angry.
We also consider our own safety.
It’s so dangerous to go to the Myanmar border, and we feel uneasy without money.”
A gangster said.
The captain looked at these gangsters and was filled with disappointment.
He felt that these little hooligans were really unreliable and always caused such messy troubles that were incomprehensible.
He regretted why he had asked these gangsters for help in the first place. Now things were becoming more and more complicated.
"You guys really disappoint me! I thought you guys still had some conscience, but you only care about money.
I will figure this out myself, I don't need your help."
After the captain finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave the restaurant.
When the gangsters saw that their captain was leaving, they immediately panicked.
They knew that if the captain didn't help them, they would have a hard time surviving on the streets in the future.
"Captain, don't be angry! We were just joking.
We will definitely help you rescue that woman."
A gangster said quickly.
The captain stopped and looked back at these gangsters.
His eyes were full of suspicion and distrust.
"Are you really willing to help? No more money?" asked the captain.
The gangsters nodded, indicating their willingness to help.
The captain looked at them, and although he still had some doubts in his heart, there was no other way.
He decided to give them another chance.
“Okay, since you’re willing to help, then get ready.
We set out for the Burmese border as quickly as possible.
But if you dare to mention money again, I will never let you off easily."
The captain said seriously.
However, although these gangsters agreed to the captain's request on the surface, they actually had evil intentions.
They thought that if the captain didn't have money, he could ask Qi Tongwei for it. Anyway, the person who was kidnapped was his so-called ex-girlfriend.
In their opinion, Qi Tongwei would definitely do whatever it takes to save his lover.
So, they thought it would be better not to embarrass the captain in front of him, but to go to Qi Tongwei in private, hoping to get everything they deserved from him.
Led by the captain, the gangsters came to the hospital.
Along the way, as soon as the captain left, they began to whisper and discuss how to ask Qi Tongwei for money.
"When we meet the policeman later, we will tell him directly that if he wants to save his girlfriend, he has to give him money." A gangster whispered.
“That’s right, we can’t work for nothing.
It's so dangerous to go to the Burmese border, how can you not ask for more money?" another gangster echoed.
There was a greedy expression on their faces, as if they had seen piles of money waving at them.
These gangsters are idle on weekdays and are used to making money through improper means.
Now that they have such an opportunity, they naturally will not let it go.
When they arrived at Qi Tongwei's ward, Qi Tongwei was lying on the hospital bed, his face pale, his eyes full of fatigue and worry.
