Chapter 282 Drinking for 3 rounds
He opened a bottle of wine, sat on the sofa, and drank to drown his sorrows.
The effect of alcohol made the captain's thinking blurry, but the pain in his heart did not ease at all.
As he drank, he recalled his wife's smile and tenderness.
He knew that he would never forget his wife and she would live forever in his heart.
At this time, Qi Tongwei had not seen the captain for several days and was full of doubts.
He arrived at the captain's house, but was stunned by the scene before him.
The room was in a mess. The captain was sitting on the sofa with a decadent look on his face, with a pile of empty wine bottles in front of him.
Qi Tongwei hurriedly walked forward and asked with concern: "Captain, what's going on? What happened?" The captain raised his head and looked at Qi Tongwei, his eyes full of anger and pain.
"It's all because of you! If I hadn't helped you, my wife wouldn't have died!" The captain's voice trembled and was full of resentment.
After hearing the captain's words, Qi Tongwei felt filled with guilt and self-blame.
"Captain, I...I didn't know this would happen. I'm really sorry."
Qi Tongwei lowered his head, not daring to look the captain in the eye.
The captain looked at Qi Tongwei, and the anger in his heart gradually turned into helplessness.
"What's the point of saying this now? My wife is dead and she's never coming back."
The captain's voice was low and hoarse.
Qi Tongwei clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with anger.
"Captain, we must avenge my sister-in-law! Those evil elements cannot go unpunished."
Qi Tongwei's eyes were full of firmness and determination.
As soon as Qi Tongwei finished speaking, the captain just laughed coldly, and that laugh was full of bitterness and helplessness.
"Do you think revenge is that easy? Qi Tongwei, you are too naive."
The captain's eyes revealed deep fatigue and despair, "We can't easily deal with those evil forces.
They have a strong presence on the Myanmar border and their methods are cruel and ruthless.
We can’t even track down their exact whereabouts, let alone seek revenge.”
The captain walked to the window, looked at the night outside, and had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
“From the beginning, this matter was far more complicated and dangerous than we imagined.
If we had known this would be the outcome, perhaps we shouldn't have gotten involved.
But it's too late to say anything now, the tragedy has happened and we have to face the reality."
The captain turned around, looked at Qi Tongwei, and said in a heavy tone: "You have no idea how great the difficulties we are about to face are.
The Myanmar border is a chaotic and dangerous place, and it was difficult for us to even enter the country.
Those killers can come and go freely because they have their own channels and methods.
What about us? We are just ordinary people, without so many resources and abilities.
How can we possibly get through this? It’s simply impossible.”
After hearing what the captain said, Qi Tongwei felt a little unconvinced, but he had to admit that what the captain said made sense.
He lowered his head and remained silent.
The captain continued: “Our current situation is very difficult. Not only do we have to face the threats from those evil elements, but we also have to deal with various unknown risks.
We don't know how many of them there are or what their next move will be.
We are like people groping in the dark, and we may fall into danger at any time.”
The captain sighed, “Besides, we can’t just consider our own safety, we also have to consider the safety of our family and friends.
If we act rashly, it may bring them greater disaster.
We can’t be so selfish and let more people get hurt because of our hatred.”
Qi Tongwei raised his head and looked at the captain, his eyes full of determination.
“Captain, I know this is difficult, but we can’t just give up.
My sister-in-law's revenge must be taken, and those evil elements must be punished.
We can think of ways and we will definitely find a way to solve the problem.”
The captain shook his head, "You still don't understand.
We simply don't have any options right now.
We don't have sufficient intelligence, powerful weapons and equipment, or reliable support.
How can we fight against those evil forces? It is like hitting a rock with an egg."
The captain was a little excited. He walked up to Qi Tongwei and grabbed his shoulders.
"Qi Tongwei, I know you want to avenge your sister-in-law, and so do I.
But we cannot be impulsive and act blindly.
We have to calm down and think about what we should do next."
Qi Tongwei looked at the captain, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
“Captain, I am not afraid of difficulties or dangers.
I just want to avenge my sister-in-law and seek justice for those innocent people.
We cannot let those evil elements go unpunished, we must do something.”
The captain looked at Qi Tongwei's determined eyes and his heart moved slightly.
He knew that Qi Tongwei was a man who valued friendship and loyalty, and he would not give up easily.
However, the captain also knew clearly that the difficulties they were facing were enormous and they could not take risks based on momentary impulse.
The captain let go of his hand, walked to the sofa and sat down, falling into deep thought.
Qi Tongwei stood there, his eyes also full of entanglement and confusion.
They all knew that it would not be easy to avenge the captain's wife, but the anger and unwillingness in their hearts prevented them from giving up easily.
After a while, the captain looked up, looked at Qi Tongwei and said helplessly: "I really can't think of any perfect plan at the moment.
Those evil forces are too powerful, we cannot act rashly."
Qi Tongwei sighed and walked over to sit next to the captain.
"Yes, Captain, but we can't just sit there and do nothing."
The captain was silent for a moment, then stood up, walked to the cabinet and took out two bottles of white wine.
"Since we can't think of a solution, let's have a drink first. Maybe it will help us think more clearly."
Qi Tongwei did not object. He knew that they needed some ways to relieve the pressure in their hearts at this moment.
The captain opened a bottle of wine, handed it to Qi Tongwei, and took one himself. They clinked the bottles and then each took a big sip.
The spicy liquor flowed down their throats, causing their bodies to tremble slightly.
"Qi Tongwei, you know what? I never thought there would be such a day."
The captain's voice was a little hoarse. "My wife, she is such a kind person, but she suffered misfortune because of my decision."
Qi Tongwei looked at the captain with sympathy in his eyes.
"Captain, I understand your pain. If it weren't for me, my sister-in-law wouldn't..."
The captain waved his hand and interrupted Qi Tongwei.
