Chapter 273 Money is needed to get things done
Seeing the captain and the gangsters coming in, Qi Tongwei raised his head slightly with a puzzled expression.
As soon as the gangsters saw Qi Tongwei, they immediately surrounded him.
"Hey, are you Qi Tongwei? I heard that you want to save your ex-girlfriend?" A gangster said bluntly.
Qi Tongwei frowned and nodded.
"Yes, I'm Qi Tongwei. What can I do for you?"
The gangsters looked at each other, and then one of them said, "We can help you rescue your girlfriend at the Myanmar border, but you have to pay us."
When Qi Tongwei heard this, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.
He didn't expect these gangsters to be so shameless and come to him for money at this time.
"How could you do this? Didn't the captain already tell you that you can't mention money anymore." Qi Tongwei said angrily.
The gangsters didn't take it seriously and continued, "The captain is the captain and we are us.
It is so dangerous to go to the Myanmar border. Who would be willing to go without money? If you don’t give us money, we won’t help you.”
Qi Tongwei was so angry that he was shaking all over. He looked at the disgusting faces of these gangsters and his heart was filled with disgust.
“You are going too far! I am still in the hospital and you come to ask me for money.
Do you still have any conscience?"
The hooligans did not feel guilty at all. They still said confidently: "Can conscience be eaten? We are also considering our own safety.
If you don’t want to pay, we’ll leave.”
After saying that, they really walked out of the ward in a swagger.
Qi Tongwei felt speechless when he saw the arrogance and unreasonableness of this group of hooligans.
He didn't have high expectations for these gangsters in the first place, and now that they behaved like this, he was extremely disappointed.
Since they were leaving, Qi Tongwei had no intention of trying to keep them.
In his opinion, relying on these people who only care about money to save Chen Yang may not be a reliable method.
After the gangsters walked out of the ward, they didn't care at first, thinking that Qi Tongwei would definitely chase them out to keep them.
However, as time passed, Qi Tongwei still hadn't caught up with them, and they panicked on the spot.
They realized that if they couldn't make money from Qi Tongwei, their future living expenses would be quite worrying.
A few hooligans were pacing back and forth in the corridor, feeling very nervous.
"What should we do? If that guy really doesn't chase us out, won't our trip be in vain?" said a gangster anxiously.
"How about we go back?" suggested another gangster.
"No, we just walked out so arrogantly, it would be embarrassing to go back now." Another gangster objected.
They argued in the corridor but could not make up their minds.
At this time in the ward, although Qi Tongwei was a little worried, he knew that he could not compromise with these gangsters.
He decided to find another way and find someone more reliable to help him.
As time passed, the gangsters became more and more anxious waiting in the corridor.
They began to regret their impulsive behavior and shouldn't have left the ward so easily.
They imagined how difficult life would be without the money, and their hearts were filled with regret.
"Why don't we go back and apologize to him? Maybe he'll change his mind."
A gangster finally couldn't help but speak.
Although the other gangsters were somewhat reluctant, they knew that this might be their only chance.
So they walked towards the ward slowly.
When they came to the door of the ward again, they hesitated again.
They didn't know how to face Qi Tongwei, nor did they know whether Qi Tongwei would forgive them.
Just as they were hesitating, the captain came over.
When the captain saw these hooligans wandering around the door of the ward, he immediately understood what was going on.
At this time, Qi Tongwei in the ward was full of disappointment and sadness.
He looked out the window, his thoughts churning, and he secretly wondered in his heart, what kind of people are these that the captain called over?
Their greed and brutality made Qi Tongwei full of worries about the rescue operation.
Outside the corridor, the captain yelled at the hooligans.
"Look at what you have done. I called you here to help save people, not to cause trouble and ask for money.
How can I explain to Qi Tongwei what you did?"
The captain's voice echoed in the corridor, full of anger and helplessness.
Qi Tongwei in the ward heard the captain's scolding and felt filled with emotion.
He felt that the captain had indeed found a group of unreliable people.
It's already difficult for me to make my way in this strange place, and now I have to face these unreliable helpers, which really makes me feel exhausted.
Qi Tongwei began to reflect on his situation. He came to this so-called "other hometown" to save his beloved Chen Yang.
However, everything here made him feel extremely difficult.
The complex situation on the Myanmar border was far beyond his imagination, with criminal gangs rampant and danger everywhere.
But now, even the helpers he found were so unreliable, which made him confused about the future.
Qi Tongwei recalled his previous decision. For Chen Yang, he came here regardless of everything, even at the risk of a conflict with those gamblers and almost lost his life.
His love for Chen Yang made him brave and determined, but now, he began to doubt whether his persistence was correct.
"Did I really do something wrong?" Qi Tongwei asked himself.
He looked at the wounds on his body, and the pain made him more clearly aware of the cruelty of reality.
He knew that it was almost impossible to rescue Chen Yang at the Myanmar border by his own strength.
But the performance of these gangsters made him lose confidence in them.
Qi Tongwei fell into deep contradiction.
He didn't know how to proceed, or if he could find any other solution.
He felt as if he was trapped in a huge whirlpool and couldn't extricate himself.
And in the corridor, the captain's scolding continued.
The gangsters lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
They also knew that they had gone too far this time, but in their opinion, going to the Myanmar border was indeed too dangerous, and they were really unwilling to take the risk without sufficient benefits.
The gangsters' hearts were filled with fear and anxiety.
They often travel to the border area and are well aware of the horrors there.
The situation in Myanmar's border areas is complex, with criminal groups rampant and violent conflicts continuing.
There are no laws to constrain us, only the cruel reality that the strong are king.
For these little hooligans, it was hell on earth.
They have witnessed people being kidnapped and killed by criminal gangs, and have experienced the dangers of being caught up in violent conflicts.
