Chapter 115 The Lion's Mouth
The leader of the Qingyi Hall was a voracious eater of meat, seafood, animal offal, and beans, all high in purines, leading to gout! Even with his gout, he refused to control his diet, and the condition had reached the third stage, affecting joints throughout his body, including his fingers, toes, wrists, ankles, and knees. Uric acid crystals accumulated, forming tophi, and his uric acid level reached 684.
Qingyi Hall has a doctor, but no medicine to lower uric acid. Even if there was a doctor, it would be useless.
As for asthma? That was the second-in-command of the Qingyi Hall. He had asthma. Because of his outstanding abilities, the leader of the Qingyi Hall was reluctant to let him die, so he searched everywhere for medicine.
Deng Shangwei said with a bitter face: "We have been looking for medicine since we got the news, but we haven't found it for a long time. If you have any medicine, please sell it to them!"
"But I don't trust you. What if you're not looking for medicine for the Killer Whale Gang and the Qingyi Hall? After all, who would work for two forces at the same time?"
"No, no, no, sister, you misunderstood me." Deng Shangwei explained repeatedly: "Although I am a middleman, I never work for any faction. It's not that I don't want to, but they simply look down on me!
They are high society, and I am from the lower market. No matter how hard we try, we can never fit in. I just earn a little hard-earned money, and occasionally I can take advantage of it and rip them off!
Lu Xingtang still didn't believe it. "You're looking for medicine for two factions, so you won't be targeted! But we will, our boss will! The Killer Whale Gang and the Qingyi Hall are incompatible. If we give the medicine to one of them, the other will target us! Who knows, we might be able to give them the medicine, but not leave Hong Kong alive! This is too risky, I won't agree to it."
Deng Shangwei also knew that things would not be so easy to handle. "Of the two forces, the Killer Whale Gang and the Qingyi Hall, the Killer Whale Gang is more humane. I will go and test the Killer Whale Gang's attitude first." He paused and said, "If the Killer Whale Gang is willing to buy the medicine at a high price, please talk to your boss.
After all, in the apocalypse, no one would have a grudge against supplies! The Orca Gang has abundant supplies, otherwise the Qingyi Hall wouldn't be eyeing them so covetously and wanting to annex them! "
Lu Xingtang thought for a moment and said, "I can only talk to the previous owner. As for whether the previous owner is willing or how much the price is, that is not my business."
"Don't worry, sister. Whether it's the Killer Whale Gang or the Qingyi Hall that needs medicine, they will definitely meet your requirements."
Deng Shangwei breathed a sigh of relief. "Then... can you give me some news before nine o'clock tomorrow morning? I'll have Gong Wei come to see you."
They couldn't just focus on Lu Xingtang and the other two. They had to keep searching, no matter if they could find it or not. The more medicine the better! Only then could he get more supplies.
After Deng Shangwei and the others left, Lu Xingtang leaned into Ji Yanmo's arms and asked, "Do you think the Orca Gang will use the cruise ship to exchange tetanus and insulin vaccines with us?"
Ji Yanmo whispered, "I don't think it's possible! The leader of the Killer Whale Gang is already over ninety years old. Even if he wants to live, he can only live for a while, not forever. They may exchange more vaccines, but not in large quantities." Ji Yanmo suddenly smiled evilly:
"But if we give them the medicine from the Qingyi Hall, they might give us the cruise ship. Conversely, if we give the medicine from the Killer Whale Gang to the Qingyi Hall, they will also give us the cruise ship. But the risk is huge! Whether it's the Killer Whale Gang or the Qingyi Hall, we will offend them terribly! After receiving the cruise ship, we must leave immediately, otherwise..."
"Let's see if it's the Killer Whale Gang or the Green Clothes Hall who's willing to trade the cruise ship for the medicine! No matter which one it is, it'll be a dog-eat-dog situation! But by then, it won't have anything to do with us anymore."
After midnight, they drove out to show Deng Shangwei and others that they had indeed gone to find the previous owner.
In order to prove that they had indeed found the owner, they drove out of the port city and went to the next county town. They drove around the next county town and drove back around five o'clock in the morning.
As soon as they came back, they saw Deng Shangwei and Gong Wei waiting for them downstairs of the apartment building. They had sent people to look for them after they left last night, but all of them returned empty-handed.
Deng Shangwei had no choice but to go to the Killer Whale Gang and tell the old man of the Killer Whale Gang about finding the medicine. The old man knew that the medicine had been found, but the other party did not trust them and was worried about losing their lives. So the old man asked someone to draw up a list of supplies. In addition to seafood, there were also rice, noodles, grain, oil, salt, clothes, etc., as well as a sharp knife and a gun.
There were seven rounds left in the gun.
In addition, he also took out the Hope Diamond - "King of Diamonds" and asked Deng Shangwei to give it to Lu Xingtang for free, and it was not counted as part of the medicine!
Deng Shangwei: “!!!” This is a rising star, worth 250 million US dollars!!!
The old man is really willing to do so, which is enough to show his sincerity.
"I hope they'll give us a tetanus shot and an insulin syringe first!" This was his request. He wanted to save his life first. "And by the way, please ask them what they want as a reward! As long as I can afford it, I'll pay it!"
In other words, no matter what requests Lu Xingtang and the others made, he would do it!
Deng Shangwei conveyed the message to Lu Xingtang, and Lu Xingtang saw the Star of Hope Diamond on the table, as well as the supply list, which was placed in the garage downstairs.
"Tell the old man that I accept his gift. But, let's be clear, I won't give him the medicine for free just because he gave me a gift!" He paused and said, "My boss said that if you want tetanus vaccine and insulin, you must exchange it for the cruise ship. Other supplies are not accepted! If the old man is willing, the cruise ship will be docked at a remote pier. The moment the medicine is delivered to the old man, someone will go to search the cruise ship!"
Cruise!!!
Deng Shangwei didn't expect Lu Xingtang to ask for such a high price and ask for a cruise ship. He had never thought about it before.
Before the end of the world, a tetanus vaccine cost only a dozen yuan, while a cruise ship cost about 1 billion US dollars.
"Are you sure your previous employer wants a cruise ship?" What a big appetite!
"I'm absolutely certain! My boss isn't short of supplies, he's short of cruise ships! If the old man can satisfy my boss, he might even be in a good mood and send Qingyitang's medicine to him!"
Deng Shangwei: "!!!" You guys are so bold! "Aren't you afraid that the people from Qingyi Hall will find out, intercept you, and steal the drugs belonging to the Killer Whale Gang?"
"If Qingyitang dares to snatch it from the Killer Whale Gang, I don't care! Anyway, I am the boss and I only want a cruise ship! Anyone can give it to me!" Lu Xingtang said cheatingly.
It is indeed very risky, but they have space. At worst, they can hide in the space for a while and then come out.
