Soon, less than two minutes after Huo Yu took action, a row of people fell on the ground. The passers-by who were watching the theater were also attracted by this scene. They gathered around one by one, and some even took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Song Wenbin squatted on the curb beside him, holding a cigarette in his hand and looking coldly at the lively scene in the distance.
The fourth person who just joined the team was rescued, but so many people fell down at once that no one could escape easily. Sure enough, not long after, a piercing alarm bell rang on the street.
Several old-fashioned police cars rushed here, surrounding the chaotic scene. In the past, Song Wenbin would handle such matters, and Su Tina was responsible for translating.
But this time, Song Wenbin was too lazy to move. Seeing Song Wenbin like this, Su Tina couldn't help but ask him to come over to help rescue the siege, so she could only go up and negotiate with the police herself.
Song Wenbin didn't know what they were negotiating specifically. In short, he often saw Su Tina take out some money from her pocket and hand it to the police from a distance. Director Bao Li was very interested in this scene. He not only filmed such a tense scene with great interest, but also pointed the camera at Song Wenbin from time to time. Song Wenbin knew at a glance that this guy wanted to play tricks in the later editing. So that through his indifference, he can show the tense relationship within the team during this extraordinary journey.
But the director's extravagant thoughts are not wrong. Compared with the previous show, the relationship within the team at this moment is indeed the most tense since the show started filming, but this time Song Wenbin has no intention of taking the initiative to ease it.
After half an hour of rumbling explanations, the black men who had been knocked down by Huo Yu stood up with the help of others. Huo Yu was finally released. It seemed that the US dollars and reputation had played a role. The police didn't want to get too involved in the matter.
Su Tina and Hua Jianchen were still making final greetings to a few police officers, while Huo Yu walked toward the safety car in the distance with his arms crossed and a gloomy look on his face.
When passing by Song Wenbin who was squatting on the curb, he asked unexpectedly: "What did the police say?"
"It's nothing." Huo Yu said, holding his neck.
Song Wenbin saw the child and the beaten black man sitting side by side. He saw that the child had curly hair and thick lips.
"You beat my father, didn't you?"
Song Wenbin asked coldly.
It was okay if I didn't ask. When I asked Huo Yu, he got angry and said, "That is a domestic violence man. He drinks every day and beats his wife. After beating his wife in the street, he also snatches the child. I will teach him a lesson about this kind of thing." He deserves it!!”
Song Wenbin looked at Huo Yu without saying anything.
Huo Yu felt guilty when he saw her. She stamped her feet angrily and said, "I don't care. I can't just sit back and ignore this kind of thing. Whether it's at home or abroad, don't tell me that this is wrong.
"It's what it should be."
Song Wenbin nodded. At this time, he saw several Latin beauties with good looks and figures walking past him. They were talking and laughing, and they were not surprised at the commotion happening nearby.
Song Wenbin stood up, put on a bright smile, stopped several women who were walking, and asked in English: "Excuse me, can I ask you a few questions?"
The woman stopped and saw Song Wenbin with a happy face and a photographer beside him. She couldn't help but reply immediately: "What do you want to ask?"
"Excuse me, do you have a boyfriend?" Song Wenbin asked a very common question.
"Yes." The Latin woman replied.
"May I ask how many boyfriends you have?" Song Wenbin continued to ask.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Three, what's wrong?"
Huo Yu's eyes widened at the side. At this time, Hua Jianchen also emerged from the heavy siege and hurriedly ran towards Huo Yu. However, as soon as he ran to Huo Yu's side, he was grabbed by Song Wenbin. Song Wenbin pointed at Hua Jianchen asked the Latin woman: "Then do you mind having something happen with this guy? He is very interested in you."
The morning people in the flower room were confused.
The Latin beauties giggled when they saw the rather romantic-looking Hua Jianchen and hugged each other. The woman who was questioned by Song Wenbin covered her mouth, smiled from ear to ear, and asked with interest: "Then why doesn't he come and talk to me in person?"
Song Wenbin smiled, pushed the confused Hua Jianchen to the side of the Latin girl, and turned to face Huo Yu.
Huo Yu's face was pale at this moment. She clenched her fists and panted rapidly.
"You should know that the customs here are different from other places, right." Song Wenbin looked at Huo Yu and said.
Huo Yu bit his lip and turned blue, obviously holding back his anger.
Song Wenbin had no intention of being merciful at all. He said: "Women here cheating is just like having fun. Do you know how many men were outside the woman who was beaten? Do you know why the man ran away holding his child? Do you know these things? , you want to hit someone? You said before after the show was filmed that you would let me see your growth!"
"I want your BB!!"
Huo Yu suddenly grabbed Song Wenbin's collar and said angrily: "You are not clean yourself! I didn't see you stand up when the accident just happened!!"
"So you want to beat me too?" Song Wenbin said firmly: "After filming 9 episodes, you still look like a stupid young man?"
Seeing the film crew members enthusiastically gathered around to take close-ups, Hua Jianchen hurried forward, grabbed Huo Yu's wrist, and said to Song Wenbin: "Teacher Yan, don't be angry, Teacher Huo is not wrong, it's all mine. Wrong, I was surrounded by them because of my impulse. Teacher Huo just went to help me, so the police were called in and trouble was caused. If you want to blame, just blame me."
As he said that, he looked at Huo Yu again and said, "Teacher Huo, thanks to you, I was not injured. I really keep this love in my heart."
Huo Yu listened to Hua Jianchen's chatter and looked at Song Wenbin's expressionless face. He angrily let go of his hand and walked away, squatting beside the trash can with his head tilted, feeling sulky all by himself.
At this time, Sutina finally managed to send the local police away. She subconsciously walked towards Song Wenbin, but halfway through, she stood there at a loss. At this moment, she could neither approach Song Wenbin nor approach. Huo Yu approached and could only stand there like an atom, forming an angle with his two other colleagues.
Fortunately, they are not three people now. The extra Hua Jianchen is like a free electron in a chemical reaction, running around tirelessly among the three of them. After much persuasion, the ionic Sutina and Huo finally get together. The rain reconstituted some fragile molecules.
After persuading Su Tina and Huo Yu, he walked to Song Wenbin and whispered: "Teacher Yan, don't be angry. Come back. The smuggler will come to pick us up soon."
Song Wenbin looked at Su Tina and Huo Yu standing together not far away, and chuckled: "You are well-deserved, Teacher Hua. Without you, this show would not be able to be filmed."
"Teacher Yan, what's wrong with you?"
Hua Jianchen asked in a low voice: "When I watched the show before, you were not like this. If the show is filmed like this, the audience will be confused."
Song Wenbin sighed and said: "One moment, another moment, Teacher Hua, you know, at the beginning, everyone was a newcomer with little fame, but later on, as they became more famous, their tempers became louder. It is difficult to imagine being the same as before. "
"This has nothing to do with fame." Hua Jianchen said in surprise: "You really shouldn't have said that about Teacher Huo just now, it would really make people sad."
"Why, do you think it's right to hit someone madly? I hope you're not the one being beaten." Song Wenbin said coldly.
"Teacher Wei, although you are right, it is of no use."
Hua Jianchen smiled and said: "To get along with girls, even if you know they are wrong, you still have to speak for them and stand by their side, so that they will recognize you, isn't it?"
"Wow~"
Song Wenbin made a sound of unexplained admiration.
He was pulled by Hua Jianchen to Huo Yu and Sutina. Sutina took out sunglasses and a mask from her bag and handed them to Song Wenbin. They had been prepared in advance. Now each of them is a star with an astonishing number of fans. Be easily recognized. And this undoubtedly hinders the need for routing, so they cannot reveal their identity.
Song Wenbin took the mask and sunglasses and looked at Sutina expressionlessly. Sutina also noticed Song Wenbin's gaze and looked up at him. But soon, Song Wenbin looked away.
Wearing sunglasses and masks, after waiting on the spot for about ten minutes, an old-fashioned Dodge pickup truck drove up to a few people. Two Latin men and a white man jumped out of the car. The Latin men had gold chains and Tattoos look very gangster. The white man was dressed in casual clothes, holding a cigarette and standing in front of several people with a relaxed expression. He asked in English: "Who is Su Xiaofeng?"
"I am me…"
Sutina, wearing a face scarf, sunglasses and a hat, stood up and raised her hands.
"Frank." The white man stretched out his hand and shook Sutina's hand.
"Hello, we have contacted online." Sutina said skillfully while shaking hands.
"I know, are these...?"
The white man put down his hand and asked, pointing to Song Wenbin and others wearing masks and sunglasses.
"These are my family." Sutina said, "We went together as a family."
Frank, a white man, seemed a little dissatisfied with the behavior of several people wearing sunglasses and masks. He squinted his eyes and looked at a few people up and down, and said: "This is not something shameful. The pursuit of freedom and equality is everyone's dream. You guys You should be proud of this and don’t need to be so guarded.”
But his words were of little use to the members of the program crew. What they were doing was not in the public eye. Even the crew members on the side put on small candid camera equipment and pretended to be passers-by. If you are recognized, it may be a very troublesome thing.
Sutina seemed to have expected to be questioned. She was well prepared and said: "We have committed something, so we don't want to be recognized. I hope you can forgive us. If we can, we hope to get on the road immediately."
"so……"
Frank, the white man, looked around a few people and asked, "Are you all ready with the money?"
"Everything is ready." Sutina said, and she took out several thousand dollars from her pocket: "It's 7,000 dollars per person, right?"
"$7,500." Frank corrected her immediately.
Sutina paused while counting the money, frowned and asked, "Why is it 500 US dollars more expensive than what is said in China?"
"The situation in Central America has been a bit tense recently. There are a lot of DEA searches in Texas and New Mexico. They are not very friendly to immigrants. There are more checks when crossing the border, so you have to pay more." The white man said casually and calmly. said.
"this…"
Su Tina and Huo Yu looked at each other, hesitant.
$500 was a lot, but a lot less, especially when they only had a budget of $10,000.
"How much did we spend just now?"
Hua Jianchen asked Sutina in a low voice.
"1,000 US dollars." Sutina replied. In order to help Huo Yu out of the siege, she had to give some money to the local police. Fortunately, spending money here can solve the problem.
"If it's 1,000 U.S. dollars, then it's 250 U.S. dollars per person... not much loss." Hua Jianchen said to himself: "I think this price increase is acceptable."
Song Wenbin listened to his words and frowned in disgust. Compared with when they first joined the program group, it only took less than a day for the relationship between Hua Jianchen and Sutina Huo Yu to quickly become closer, and even this kind of loss could be shared.
"What do you think?" Hua Jianchen asked Huo Yu.
"It doesn't matter." Huo Yu shrugged: "As long as we can get to the place."
Hua Jianchen breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Song Wenbin: "Teacher Yan, what do you think?"
"You don't need to ask him." Huo Yu crossed his arms and said, "In the case of three to one, just ignore his opinion."
It seems that she still has a grudge against Song Wenbin.
Song Wenbin was too lazy to pay attention to the thorn in Huo Yu's words. Since he had not entered into the preliminary preparations, he watched from the side while Su Tina and the snakehead were negotiating.
As he watched, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure beside him. When he looked closely, it turned out to be the girl who sold them flowers not long ago. She and a few others were hiding behind the bus, watching the Snakehead and the Extraordinary Journey program intently. Group.
After noticing Song Wenbin's eyes, she immediately shrank her head and hid.
But Song Wenbin had already seen her, which made him feel something was wrong.
Seeing that Su Tina had already counted out 7,500 US dollars and planned to hand it over to the smuggler, Song Wenbin stood up, stood in front of Su Tina, and said in English: "Sorry, I still want to go by myself this time."
ah? ?
Song Wenbin's sudden statement not only surprised the snakehead, but also the other three people on the extraordinary journey were very puzzled.
"Are you going by yourself? Where are you going by yourself?" the snakehead asked confused.
"Go to the United States." Song Wenbin said.
"No, sir, are you kidding me?"
The smuggler asked in surprise: "You want to go to the United States by yourself? Do you have a visa? If you have a visa, you can just take a plane. Why come to Colombia?"
Huo Yu on the side also held his forehead. The theme of their shooting this time was smuggling. Of course, they couldn't fly directly to the United States. That's why Song Wenbin's words seemed so absurd.
Song Wenbin looked at the smuggler Frank up and down and said, "Then $6,000."
"Are you kidding me?" Frank pulled off his sunglasses and said in shock: "It costs 6,000 US dollars to route cables. We have been charging 7,000 US dollars for several years. Everyone does this. If you come up and cut it to 6,000, your conscience Doesn’t it hurt?”
Although Su Tina was quite critical of Song Wenbin, when she saw him bargaining, she still stood aside and said nothing. She heard the smuggler talking very fast and emotionally. She was worried that Song Wenbin wouldn't understand, so she habitually wanted to translate for him. But Song Wenbin directly stretched out his hand to block her.
"In that case, I'll accept 7,000 or 7,500," Song Wenbin said calmly.
Listening to Song Wenbin's fluent English, Sutina felt a little uncomfortable.
"Didn't you listen to me? The investigation here has been tight recently, so we need an extra 500, no matter who comes." The snakehead said loudly.
"It's your business if the investigation is tight, isn't it? This should be within the risk you bear, and it is already included in the $7,000. Should the price be raised if the investigation is tight? Isn't that right? Are you prepared to continue raising prices if you encounter other problems?" Song Wenbin asked extremely coldly, his English was broken but there was no ups and downs at all.
Song Wenbin's question silenced the snakehead. He stared at the man wearing sunglasses and a mask in front of him. Facing the snakehead's gaze, Song Wenbin also stared at him without giving an inch.
Neither of them said a word for half a minute, but the anxiety in the air skyrocketed.
The tense atmosphere caused the two Latin men behind Frank to stretch their hands to their waists. The other party's small movements made Huo Yu narrow his eyes and take a step forward quietly. Sutina took a step back in cooperation and changed positions with Huo Yu.
However, Hua Jianchen had never experienced such an occasion. When he saw two Latin men touching their waists, he was so nervous that he started to sweat. He almost subconsciously tried to smooth things over: "Teacher Yan...it's only five hundred dollars..."
"Shut up!" Song Wenbin scolded Hua Jianchen instantly.
Hua Jianchen lowered his head.
But Hua Jianchen's opening made the tense confrontation relax. The smuggler smiled, waved his hands for the two men to step back, and said, "I won't do anything for even one cent less than 7,500. So be it, think it over for yourselves."
With that said, he opened his Dodge pickup and got back in. Before getting in the car, he looked at Sutina: "You have my WeChat. If it is confirmed, I welcome you to contact me at any time."
