Chapter 522 The Mysterious Man Lao Dao
Qi Tongwei spoke a little faster, trying to make the other party believe what he said.
"Many of Brother Long's men have been arrested, and he can only hide in the dark now."
"But he still has a group of people in his hands. This is his last capital."
"He didn't dare to come forward himself, fearing that he would be discovered by the police, so he asked me to transfer here."
Qi Tongwei's eyes revealed a hint of anxiety. He wiped the sweat from his face with his hand. Although the weather was not hot at this time, he had to show this nervous state.
The other party was silent for a while, as if thinking about the truthfulness of what Qi Tongwei said.
Then he said, "Do you have any evidence for what you said?"
"How do we know you're not an undercover agent sent by the police?"
The other party's tone became more severe.
Qi Tongwei's heart tightened, but he quickly calmed down.
He said hurriedly: "Evidence? I don't have any evidence right now."
"If I were an undercover police officer, would I be so nervous?"
"I followed Brother Long because I couldn't make it in Xia Country anymore."
"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check it out."
"Now Xiaguo is full of news about Brother Long, and those news reports are all about the police's actions."
Qi Tongwei's voice became louder and louder. He knew that at this time he had to show enough confidence to make the other party believe him.
"Brother Long is still trying to find a way to escape from Xia Country. He asked me to contact you first to see if we can settle these people first, and then find a way to make a comeback. If we miss this opportunity, Brother Long will be finished, and we will all be in trouble."
The person on the other end of the phone immediately called Long Can several times.
However, every call they made was answered with the emotionless "cannot be connected" tone.
This made them worry about Long Can's situation.
They began to discuss quickly in the neighboring language. Although Qi Tongwei on the other end of the phone could understand the general idea, some of the subtle expressions still required his full concentration to capture.
One of them said with a worried tone: "Is Aaron going to be in trouble?"
There was a hint of uneasiness in his voice, and his eyes were fixed on the phone screen, as if he hoped that Long Can would call back in the next second.
Another person also frowned and said doubtfully, "His phone number is disconnected. He told us not to contact him easily, and we don't have any other contact information. What should we do?"
As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the room, his steps seeming a little flustered.
At this time, another person spoke up. He seemed to trust Long Can more and said, "I know A'long. He won't let unreliable people come to deliver people to us. This person should be trustworthy."
There was a hint of certainty in his eyes, trying to make others believe Qi Tongwei's words.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, another person said viciously: "What's the point of trusting him? As long as he comes here, don't even think about going back."
There was a fierceness and greed in the man's eyes, and a calculating expression on his face.
He thought to himself that no matter whether this Aqi who suddenly appeared was real or fake, as long as he dared to set foot on the land of the neighboring country, he must be controlled and all possible benefits must be squeezed out of him. He must not be given the opportunity to return to Xia State to inform the news.
They continued discussing in dialect for a long time.
They discussed various possibilities, from the dangers that Long Can might encounter, to Qi Tongwei's true identity, and if Qi Tongwei really brought people, how they would deal with these people and Qi Tongwei himself.
Little did they know that Qi Tongwei heard their conversation clearly.
He stood under the lighthouse, his eyes slightly narrowed, thinking secretly in his mind.
He knew that the danger he faced now came not only from the human traffickers and organ trading gangs in front of him, but also from the unknown threats lurking in the dark in this strange country.
Qi Tongwei silently analyzed their words in his mind. He realized that although these people still had doubts about his identity, at the moment, they were more concerned about Long Can's situation and this batch of so-called "goods".
After discussing for a while, the two decided to let Qi Tongwei come.
One of them said into the phone, "Wait a minute, we'll send someone to bring you over. Just stay at the lighthouse and don't move."
After hearing this, Qi Tongwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But he still pretended to be a little scared and a little expectant and said, "Bring some food here."
There was a hint of caution in his voice. After all, at this moment, he had to act as someone who was in dire need of help.
In the early morning of the next day, the night was still thick and the area around the lighthouse was silent.
Only the occasional sound of wind whistled through this empty border area.
Qi Tongwei was squinting his eyes and resting. Although he seemed relaxed, he was actually very alert in his heart, like a cheetah dozing in the grass, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.
Suddenly, his keen ears caught the sound of someone approaching outside.
The sound was very faint, as if someone was deliberately lowering their footsteps, but Qi Tongwei still noticed it in the silent environment.
He opened his eyes wide instantly, and his eyes were like two lightning bolts in the darkness, suddenly full of vigilance.
He stood up from the ground, his movements light and quick, without making any sound.
At the same time, several other special forces soldiers were also awakened.
They are all elites who have undergone rigorous training, and this awareness of danger has been deeply rooted in their instincts.
They opened their eyes almost at the same time, and there was no confusion in their eyes, only sharpness like a knife blade.
They looked out the window vigilantly, their bodies unconsciously tensed up, like an arrow about to be drawn from a bowstring.
Qi Tongwei gestured to them to stay calm, his eyes firm and steady, as if telling his teammates that he already had a plan to deal with it.
A group of people closed their eyes and began to pretend to sleep. Their acting was very realistic. Their bodies relaxed and their breathing became even and slow, just like people who were really sleeping.
But in fact, every one of their senses is highly tense and paying attention to the movements around them, and they will react immediately if there is any disturbance.
A few minutes later, the dilapidated door was slowly pushed open with a creaking sound. The sound of the door hinges was particularly harsh in the silent space.
Qi Tongwei stood up upon hearing the voice and looked straight at the man outside.
The man had dark skin, like a bronze color after being exposed to the sun for a long time, with a rough texture.
His hair was as lush as the vegetation in a primeval forest, especially his beard, which was like a dense bush, almost covering his mouth. At first glance, it was difficult to find where his mouth was.
The other person's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He first glanced at the few uneasy and panicked people.
At this time, the special forces were pretending to be frightened according to the previous plan.
Their bodies were trembling slightly, with fear flashing in their eyes. They would steal glances at Lao Dao from time to time, like a group of lambs to be slaughtered.
Lao Dao's eyes swept over them one by one, as if he was examining his prey.
Then, he turned his gaze to Qi Tongwei, with a hint of scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes, and asked, "Are you Ah Qi?"
Qi Tongwei nodded quickly, a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Hello, what's your name?"
There was just the right amount of humility in his voice, making one feel that he was in awe of the man in front of him.
The other party did not answer immediately, but looked Qi Tongwei up and down.
His gaze moved from the top of Qi Tongwei's head to his feet, as if he wanted to see through Qi Tongwei.
After a while, he slowly said, "Call me Lao Dao."
Qi Tongwei hurriedly bent down, his waist bent like a fully drawn bow, and said respectfully, "Hello, Brother Dao."
His movements were very quick, showing great respect for Lao Dao.
Lao Dao seemed very satisfied with Qi Tongwei's attitude, and he nodded slightly.
Then, he looked at the people behind Qi Tongwei again.
Although those special forces soldiers were full of vigilance in their hearts, they still maintained a state of fear on the surface.
Lao Dao's gaze lingered on them for a moment, as if assessing their worth. Finally, he nodded again and said, "Not bad. Come with me."
The road out is still winding, like a winding snake crawling on the border land.
After walking for a while, the view gradually widened, and they saw two motorcycles parked in front of them, and two men with unfriendly faces staring at them like wolves staring at their prey.
Qi Tongwei looked around, puzzled, and asked, "How do we get there?"
His voice seemed a little thin in this empty place.
Lao Dao had a devilish smile on his face, which was full of cruelty and mockery. He said, "Just follow me, it's a good opportunity to see how strong I am."
His voice was filled with a condescending arrogance, as if in his eyes, Qi Tongwei and these special forces were like ants that could be manipulated at will.
Qi Tongwei's expression changed and his brows furrowed tightly.
The other four special forces soldiers also immediately became dissatisfied. One of them said angrily: "What are you doing? We are here to work, not to be slaves."
His eyes burned with anger and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Another special forces soldier echoed, "Exactly. How can you treat your partners like this?"
Their voices were filled with protest against this unfair treatment.
Qi Tongwei suppressed his anger and said with a smile, "We are all in this together. You don't have to treat me like this, right?"
He tried to resolve the situation in a gentle way. After all, they were still in enemy territory and could not easily reveal their purpose.
The other party looked at them with disdain, a disdainful smile on his lips, and said, "What's the matter? Can't you bear this little hardship? You know our profession, I'm doing this for your own good."
His words were full of sarcasm.
"For my own good?"
Qi Tongwei repeated this sentence, and a barely perceptible cold light flashed in his eyes.
The next second, he smiled slightly and said, "Since you said so, I won't say anything."
Where no one noticed, Qi Tongwei quietly reached out and picked a few leaves from the tree next to him.
His movements were light, as natural as the breeze blowing through the leaves.
