Sometimes Mr. Ma doesn't have time to purchase ingredients. Since Gao Huai can speak English and has a high cultural level, he asks Gao Huai to purchase ingredients with another man, Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu is Mr. Ma's relative. He also came to Country G to work illegally in his early years. After staying there for a few years, Mr. Ma applied for a formal work residence permit for him.
One day at five in the morning, Gao Huai and Xiao Liu drove to the market to buy ingredients as usual. They brought 20,000 US dollars in cash, which was enough for the restaurant to eat for three days.
When they drove to a remote section of the road five kilometers away from the market, a car suddenly drove from the side and blocked their way.
"Oh no, we've been robbed." Xiao Liu exclaimed. He has lived in Country G for many years and is very familiar with the security situation here.
"What did you say? Robbery?" Gao Huai asked in surprise. As he spoke, three people walked out of the black car in front.
"Yes, there are many unemployed people in Country G. They have no source of income, and they don't want to take low-end jobs, so they can only make a living by robbing. I once encountered one of them when I was shopping for food with Mr. Ma."
"How did you handle that robbery?"
Before Xiao Liu could answer, the three robbers were already knocking on their car window. Xiao Liu had been robbed once, so he obediently opened the car window and took out the money in his pocket. He didn't speak English, so he just gestured to indicate that this was all the money he had.
The three robbers didn't bother Xiao Liu. They immediately set their sights on Gao Huai and shouted in English, "Hand over the money. We only want money, not your life."
The backpack Gao Huai was carrying contained the money given by Mr. Ma to buy food. Although he was very afraid of the knife in the robber's hand, what he thought more about was keeping his job. If the robber took the money, he would definitely lose his job and would be deported, which was a result he absolutely did not want.
为了保住工作，为了不被遣送回国，高槐偷偷地将钱包压在脚底下，怯怯地用英语跟劫匪说道：“我身上没有钱，我同伴的钱已经给你们了。”
大概是高槐流利的英语，以及他身上流露出来的文化人气质，让劫匪觉得他跟小刘不同，他们根本不相信他的身上没有钱，三个人毫不客气地将他从车上拉下来，凶狠地吼道：“乖乖将钱拿出来，否则让你没有命回去。”
他们被抢劫的路段虽然有点偏僻，在此过程中，附近有不少车辆经过，但是没有一个人停下来帮助他们，也没有人帮忙报警。
