Chapter 514: Only One Chance to Get Rich
There was a hint of admiration in his voice, mixed with a bit of worry. After all, Qi Tongwei was in danger now, and doing this would undoubtedly put himself in a more dangerous situation.
Another sharp-looking special forces soldier's eyes darted around as he quietly analyzed, "Captain Qi definitely has his own plan. Think about it, Long Can is a key figure in this criminal gang. If they cripple him, the gang will definitely be thrown into disarray. Furthermore, this will lower Long Can's vigilance, and he might even inadvertently reveal more useful information."
After listening to his analysis, several other people nodded in agreement.
But their faces still showed expressions of surprise and shock. After all, Qi Tongwei's action was too unexpected.
Qi Tongwei and Long Can were arguing fiercely. The fierce quarrel was like surging waves, one after another, constantly echoing and crashing in this small space.
Both of their faces were flushed red and their eyes were bloodshot, like two roosters fighting with red eyes.
However, as their quarrel gradually subsided, an inexplicable silence enveloped them.
Both of them seemed to be suddenly pulled out of the vortex of anger and began to think calmly about what had just happened.
They soon realized that such arguments were meaningless.
After all, both of them got involved in this mess for the sake of money.
Long Can sat there, his eyes revealing a hint of fatigue and helplessness.
He looked at his crippled hand with mixed feelings.
This injury was like a heavy alarm bell, constantly ringing in his mind.
He began to reflect on his own style of doing things, and the phrase "listen to advice and have a full meal" kept appearing in his mind.
He realized that some things could be done by others and that he didn't need to do everything himself, otherwise he would end up losing more than he gained, just like today.
Long Can weighed the pros and cons in his mind for a long time. He knew that in his current state, he couldn’t do many things.
Moreover, he cannot give up this "business" just because of this setback.
After all, there was a huge sum of money tempting him.
After much deliberation, he decided to trust Qi Tongwei once.
He raised his head and looked at Qi Tongwei with a complex expression in his eyes, which included helplessness, doubt, and a hint of expectation.
He slowly told Qi Tongwei a route, a route leading to their final destination. Every detail was explained clearly, as if he was explaining something extremely important.
After explaining the route, Long Can took out a packet of medicine from his pocket.
It was a packet of white powder, packed in a small plastic bag.
He took the medicine in his hand, looked at it, and then handed it to Qi Tongwei. He pointed to the men behind him and said, "Give those men and the two people in the house enough medicine and send it over."
Qi Tongwei looked at the hallucinogenic drugs. The white powder emitted an unsettling smell under the simple light.
He frowned, his eyes filled with confusion and inquiry, and asked, "Can I ask where you got all this?"
His voice was soft, but it was particularly clear in this quiet little clinic.
Long Can leaned on the hospital bed, his disabled hand hanging limply by the side of the bed.
He glanced at Qi Tongwei, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "You'll know when you make a delivery. We have as many of these things as you want."
There was a mysterious temptation in his voice, as if luring Qi Tongwei into a deeper dark world.
Qi Tongwei's heart trembled, and he began to realize that there was more darkness hidden in the border area.
Various possible scenarios emerged in his mind. Those dark transactions and hidden dens were like huge webs, intertwined in the underground world of this border area.
He knew that there must be a huge and complex chain of interests behind this, and these hallucinogenic drugs were only a tiny part of it.
Qi Tongwei was silent for a while, then asked Long Can: "What about you?"
His eyes fell on Long Can's injured hand, and he secretly wondered what Long Can would do next.
Long Can lay on the only bed in the small clinic with his eyes closed. His face looked pale due to pain and blood loss.
Hearing Qi Tongwei's question, he slowly opened his eyes, a look of fatigue and warning in his eyes. "I can't move for the next two days."
His voice was weak, but full of unquestionable authority. "But don't even think about getting in touch with them without me. Everything is under my control."
As he spoke, he raised his head slightly and stared at Qi Tongwei.
That look seemed to see through Qi Tongwei's every thought. "You have to know, Qi, even though I'm injured now, my power is still there. I've been operating in this area for so long, I have spies everywhere. If you dare to betray me, I'll find you no matter where you run to."
His words were like cold raindrops, falling drop by drop on Qi Tongwei's heart.
Qi Tongwei sneered in his heart, he knew that Long Can was threatening him.
But he pretended to be respectful on the surface and said, "Brother Long, what are you talking about? We are partners, how could I betray you? If I don't listen to you, not only will this trip be in vain, but I will also lose my life there. It will not be worth it. You just need to rest and recover now. I will do as you say."
The two of them reached a brief cooperation. Qi Tongwei pushed open the door to the backyard, and several special forces soldiers were wandering around the yard in a casual manner.
When several special forces soldiers saw Qi Tongwei coming, they were immediately excited.
They gathered around quickly.
One of the special forces soldiers, a tall man with a twinkle of excitement in his eyes, rushed to Qi Tongwei first, his face full of anticipation and asked excitedly, "Brother Qi, what are the results of the examination?"
His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and his body leaned forward unconsciously, like a child eager to get a positive answer.
Another special forces soldier was not to be outdone. He squeezed through the crowd, staring at Qi Tongwei, and asked anxiously, "Can we leave today?"
There was also a special forces soldier who looked younger. There was a hint of worry on his face, but more of anticipation for the job.
He raised his voice and asked, "What project is it? Have you guys heard anything? I haven't called home in the past few days. I'm hoping to get a confirmation soon."
Facing the special forces soldiers' chattering, Qi Tongwei remained calm.
He cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry, the examination results show that you are all healthy and can start work directly."
As soon as he finished speaking, expressions of ecstasy appeared on the faces of the special forces.
Qi Tongwei paused, then continued, "However, this project requires working abroad, and you may not be able to return home within three months. Please consider this carefully."
His voice was serious and steady, like a bucket of cold water poured on the flames of enthusiasm that had just been ignited by the special forces.
After hearing Qi Tongwei's words, several people suddenly quieted down. The noisy atmosphere just now seemed to be extinguished in an instant as if by an invisible big hand.
Someone looked at the people around him in confusion, his eyes full of doubt and uncertainty, and said hesitantly: "Going abroad? I haven't heard of it before."
Another person frowned, a hesitant look on his face, scratched his head and said, "If I want to go abroad, I might have to think about it."
There was a hint of worry in his eyes, and his body shrank back unconsciously, as if a foreign country was a place full of unknown dangers.
"How much money can I make? I heard that things are not going well overseas lately."
A man who looked more cautious continued, with doubts flashing in his eyes and his hands folded across his chest, as if he was thinking about something important.
Long Can in the room didn't expect that Qi Tongwei would tell them here about going abroad. His mood, which was already irritable due to his injury, was now like a ignited powder keg.
He immediately slapped the bed board in frustration. The "bang" sound was particularly loud in the quiet room, like a thunderclap.
He said angrily, "Aqi, why are you telling them this? What did I tell you to do?"
His eyes widened.
Qi Tongwei just glanced at him, his eyes calm and steady, and said calmly: "Brother Long, I know you are doing this for their own good and want them to make more money, but after all, this is going abroad, so you still have to ask their opinions."
His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, as if he was stating a matter of course.
Afterwards, Qi Tongwei repeated the general meaning of what Long Can and the previous two people had said.
As he spoke, he observed the reactions of several special forces soldiers.
The special forces soldiers listened to Qi Tongwei's words and continued to pretend various reactions.
One of them's eyes lit up, as if lured by the money, and said, "Salaries are higher abroad, and with the exchange rate, you can earn a lot more. But I can't go home for three months, and I feel a little bit reluctant to leave my family."
Another person shook his head and said, "I'm still a little worried. We're not familiar with the environment abroad. What if something goes wrong? And I don't speak foreign languages, so communication will be a problem."
His eyes were full of worry, and his hands kept rubbing the corners of his clothes, showing his inner uneasiness.
Another person pretended to think for a moment, then said, "Brother Long, Brother Qi, can you give us some time to think about it? This is not a trivial matter after all. We need to discuss it with our families."
Long Can listened to their words. Although he was angry, he knew that he couldn't lose his temper now.
He could only suppress his anger and said through gritted teeth: "Alright, think about it as soon as possible, the opportunity does not wait for anyone."
His eyes swept over several people, as if warning them not to be ungrateful.
Suddenly, Qi Tongwei's phone rang without warning, and the ringtone seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet atmosphere.
