In Gambino's private hospital, Zeng Qi was wrapped in layers of gauze, and Sun Qingyu carefully helped him slowly get out of bed.
"Qingyu, you look like you want to say something but hesitate. What does that mean?" Zeng Qi tilted his head slightly and asked with interest.
Sun Qingyu frowned slightly and said, "Half of the group that Lao Qu brought from northern Myanmar ran away yesterday, saying they couldn't adapt to the pace here."
As soon as Sun Qingyu finished speaking, Zeng Qi's movements suddenly stopped. He was silent for a long time, and he already had the answer in his mind: this group of people from northern Myanmar were not on the same side as him.
"Just go!" Zeng Qi replied simply in a flat tone.
"I think it was Old Qu who made them leave on purpose. The environment here is very different from that in northern Myanmar, the skin colors are different, and the styles of doing things are also very different. I guess they felt that they saw no future here." Sun Qingyu analyzed in a serious manner.
Zeng Qi slowly shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't see a future, it's that you see that I only want to save people and not conquer the world here, so you don't want to be cannon fodder for me." Zeng Qi's eyes were firm, and he spoke the truth in one word.
Sun Qingyu was slightly stunned, then continued: "So you knew everything. Old Qu was drunk and talking nonsense yesterday. He said that when we were in northern Myanmar, you promised him that there would be enough weapons, and that you would build a nuclear power plant to generate electricity and make money, and that you would form a gang to do pharmaceutical factory business." Sun Qingyu gritted his teeth and stared at Zeng Qi.
Zeng Qi closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "I did say that, but the plan can't keep up with the changes. The fraud in northern Myanmar has angered the empire. Before everything settles down, anyone who rashly intervenes might be killed by mistake."
After a pause, Zeng Qi added: "I am saving people now so that I can have a better future. They are short-sighted and only see the present."
"Are you telling the truth?" Sun Qingyu asked with a doubtful look in her eyes.
"Qingyu, I chose you. You don't need to help Lao Qu test me. If he wants to go back to northern Myanmar, he has to help me rescue the person first." Zeng Qi said firmly with a sharp gaze.
"What if he doesn't agree?" Sun Qingyu couldn't help but ask.
Zeng Qi took a deep breath and said, "Don't agree? Then don't even think about leaving easily. I, Zeng Qi, have always valued friendship and loyalty, but I will never tolerate betrayal or breaking my promise. He should know my temper." After saying that, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Zeng Qi's eyes.
Sun Qingyu nodded slightly and stopped talking, but she was thinking about the various situations that might happen next.
"Besides conveying the message, what else should I do next?" Sun Qingyu asked.
Zeng Qi pondered for a moment and said, "First, observe Lao Qu's movements and see his attitude towards this matter. If he really doesn't care about our past friendship, then I can't be lenient."
Sun Qingyu nodded slightly, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "But, if we completely break up with Lao Qu, it might be detrimental to our current situation."
Zeng Qi snorted coldly: "Even if it's disadvantageous, I can't let him lead me by the nose. I, Zeng Qi, have my own principles and bottom line when doing things."
At the same time, Lao Qu was also upset in another room. He knew that the departure of the people he brought with him might anger Zeng Qi, but he also had his own considerations.
"This little Zeng is only thinking about saving people. He hasn't even gained a foothold in this foreign country. How can he succeed without sufficient power?" Old Qu said to himself.
His subordinate said, "Boss, why don't we go back to northern Myanmar with you? The situation here is too complicated."
Lao Qu glared at him and said, "Go back? It's not that easy! I'm already involved in this."
"Boss, what do you mean by allowing others to go back?" the subordinate asked in confusion.
"You talk too much! Don't ask me yet. I will tell you when the opportunity arises." Qu Shaochen replied with a hint of sophistication.
"Oh, okay!" The subordinate shut up tactfully.
In a quiet room, Sun Qingyu and Lao Qu sat opposite each other.
"Old Qu, I have reported your comments to the boss. I want to know what you really think?" Sun Qingyu asked straight to the point.
Old Qu frowned. "Sister Qingyu, I've been with Xiao Qi for so long, and I don't want to waste time in this hopeless place. Saving people is a personal matter, what future can it have? I hope he has greater ambitions."
Sun Qingyu nodded, as if the other party's thoughts were the same as she guessed.
She tapped the table lightly. "Old Qu, it's good for a man to be ambitious, but he shouldn't forget his roots. It was the boss who helped you get ahead, and now he needs our help."
Old Qu was silent for a moment, then said, "Sister Qingyu, you and I are different. Xiao Qi saved you, so you helped him out of gratitude, but he and I have a cooperative relationship. It's not that I don't want to help with the rescue, but I'm wondering what to do after we rescue them? Should we go our separate ways?"
This... Sun Qingyu was speechless for a moment.
Lao Qu has been in the underworld for many years and looks at things differently from ordinary people. As he said, what should we do after saving people?
If they were to go their separate ways, he would be doing something for nothing, and all Zeng Qi's promises would be in vain.
"Old Qu, what do you think about disbanding the team or continuing to move forward?" Sun Qingyu leaned forward. She also wanted to know the answer.
"Then I'll be frank. If Xiao Qi still has this motivation after rescuing the people, I will support him in fighting for new territory. If we disband after rescuing the people, I will dismiss the brothers first and terminate the cooperative relationship. I will help as a friend for a few days, and then I will go back to northern Myanmar." Qu Shaochen was still drunk and spoke frankly.
"Okay, I got it. I will convey your thoughts truthfully." Sun Qingyu stood up and said.
"Well, that's it!" Lao Qu waved his hand, found a sofa and lay down.
In the private ward, when Sun Qingyu relayed Lao Qu's words verbatim, Zeng Qi was stunned for a moment and then felt relieved.
Just as Qu Shaochen guessed, after rescuing Lao Zeng, Zeng Qi would definitely retire. He has a family, studies, and real brothers, so he would not waste his youth on a bunch of killer scum.
Qu Shaochen saw this and became a little anxious. He felt that he had met a scumbag who was good at making empty promises.
"Qingyu, you are helping him, right?" Zeng Qi said inexplicably without looking at the other person.
"Why do you say that?" Sun Qingyu asked in surprise.
"You didn't tell me everything when you relayed my message. For example, if he doesn't listen, I won't be lenient." Zeng Qi replied coldly.
"Ah?" Sun Qingyu covered her mouth in surprise.
Zeng Qi said coldly, "I know Old Qu's temper. If I threaten him publicly, he won't remain indifferent. He might even take action first."
Pouting, Sun Qingyu nodded and admitted, "I really didn't say that, because I don't want you to stop."
