I'm justified in being excited.
I know my crimes, I have killed so many people, and some of my methods are not so glorious. I have long given up the idea of returning to China.
Since you will be jailed if you go back, why go back?
Just because I can't go back doesn't mean I don't want to go back!
What the hell is good here?
I have been in intrigues and on tenterhooks all day, and I haven't had a good night's sleep in how many days just because of Hu Abiao?
If I could go back without being judged and be a free man, I think, not to mention me, even Sister Feng would yearn for it!
It was also because of Lao Dao's words that I vaguely understood the purpose of Ningxia's asking me to come.
She knew that I had no hope of returning home after committing a crime, so she hoped that I could make atonement for my sins through my identity as an agent.
She thinks so much about me, she must want me to go back.
The truth is similar to what I thought. Ningxia has always wanted me to return to China with her, but she also knows how cruel it is to ask me to return to China.
After I happened to learn about Lao Dao's existence, he asked me to take the initiative to approach Lao Dao in the name of strengthening my own strength.
In fact, she lied about Lao Dao.
First, the news about Lao Dao did not come from Commander Lai's mouth, but she accidentally learned it from others.
The reason why he lied to me was to use the name of Commander Lai to increase my confidence in finding Lao Dao.
Second, she knew what Lao Dao did, but she didn’t tell me.
The main reason is that I am afraid that I will not be able to accept this employment model and choose to give up.
Before we could express our opinions, Lao Dao chuckled and continued, "Don't feel embarrassed. There is no contract or restriction on this thing. If there is a task, I will send it to you. If you think you can do it, do it. If you can't, do it." No one is forcing you to do it.”
As he spoke, Lao Dao shrugged and sighed, "While there are no restraints, your safety is not protected. Not to mention you, even I am not protected."
I understand what Lao Dao said. I have watched The Expendables and know that this is the form of employment.
I glanced at Lao Wei and wanted to ask for his advice.
Old Wei nodded slightly.
I'm not surprised by his reaction at all. You know, he was once a soldier.
What are the duties of a soldier?
If the state has a move, we must welcome it!
Doing tasks for relevant departments is another form of serving the country.
I was hesitant at first, but with the temptation of being able to atone for my crime, my stance immediately became firm.
To say the least, if the task is difficult, you can refuse it. This is a deal worth trying.
Although I had made a decision, I didn't immediately demonstrate. I just smiled and said, "Brother Dao, this is the first time we have met. Do you believe in us so much? Are you afraid that we will do the opposite?"
Lao Dao chuckled and said, "For so many years in northern Myanmar, I have seen many piglets escape from the park, but you were the first to kill the boss while escaping."
"In addition, the people you extradited to have spoken very well of you, and the relevant departments have a good impression of you. These are all evidence that I think highly of you."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be glad that my original intention has never changed.
If I had gotten into the bad habit of being a jerk, I might not be able to enter Lao Dao's hut today.
The matter has come to this, and I no longer test anything. I told Lao Dao that if the country needs it, I am willing to do my best to help.
After reaching the initial cooperation intention, Lao Dao was very happy and insisted on staying us here for a dinner.
Dinner was very simple. I put a few bags of mustard on a platter and cooked two plates of home-cooked dishes. Lao Dao also brought out two bottles of good wine.
We ate, drank and talked.
I was still very curious about Lao Dao, and I asked him some interesting topics.
For example, why do you want to guard such a grocery store? How did you get on the path of an information broker? Is it free? Can I return to my country? Is it dangerous? Wait.
Lao Dao didn't answer any of these, he just smiled and said something. It was this sentence that shocked my whole soul!
He said: It’s not that I can’t live a better life, I just want more people to live a better life.
Just such a simple, ordinary, even difficult to pronounce words made the image of Lao Dao instantly grow taller in my heart!
It was only later that I realized that Lao Dao, who looked cheerful on the surface, had a really hard life!
Lao Dao's father was a veteran who participated in the Long March. Lao Dao was also a soldier when he was young, but he only did things based on his own preferences and had a tendency to not obey orders, so he quit early.
Under his guidance, his only son joined the army to serve his country, and eventually became an anti-drug policeman on the border.
A few years ago, he was unfortunately shot in the vital part during a firefight with a drug dealer, and then passed away.
My wife has been crying all day long, causing her behavior to become a little abnormal.
Lao Dao's biggest hope is to break into the drug dealers to avenge his son, and then he goes to the relevant border departments to apply.
Finally, the superiors decided to let him come to northern Myanmar and be responsible for collecting intelligence on Xiao Meng La Meng Bo Bangkang.
When he first came here, Lao Dao wanted to take care of any injustice he saw. Even he himself was assassinated more times than he could count.
Every once in a while he would change places and jobs. After I found him this time, he said he might move out tomorrow.
Lao Wei was worried about Wei He, so he told Lao Dao about the matter after just a few bites, and wanted to ask him to help find his sister.
Lao Dao didn't hesitate and agreed.
He said that he could issue a paid announcement similar to a missing person notice, and asked Lao Wei how much money he was prepared to spend on the search.
Without waiting for Wei to answer, I said a number loudly and forcefully: two million!
Lao Dao was stunned for a moment and whispered that it was a bit much.
While eating, Lao Dao said these words in a vague way.
He said that if you want to survive on this land, the first thing you should do is not make money, but accumulate strength.
When you have enough strength and money, etc., they will come naturally.
He also said that as long as there are rich Chinese people, no one is clean.
As long as the general direction is good, you should cheat when it's time to swallow, and don't have any psychological burden.
Finally, he also said that if you encounter any fatal danger, you don't need to follow any strict rules, just kill when you need to, never hesitate!
To be honest, I was very surprised when I heard these words from Lao Dao.
After all, we had only known each other for a few hours, and it seemed like we were very good friends.
Moreover, when Lao Dao said the last words, he no longer had the playful expression before, his eyes were sinister, and there were tears looming in his eyes.
Of course, there was one thing I didn't know.
Lao Dao's son could have escaped death in some operation, but he was killed by drug dealers because he was rigid and didn't know how to adapt.
In addition, Lao Dao's good impression of me comes from another point. He sees the shadow of his son in me.
After dinner, Lao Dao showed us his weapons arsenal.
It's said to be a weapons arsenal, but it's actually just two big boxes.
There were only five or six rifles inside, no submachine guns, and seven or eight grenades.
According to Lao Wei, these weapons were hidden by himself.
If you want to get better weapons, you need to apply.
But the prerequisite for applying is that there must be a task, and the task level is not low.
In the end, I bought four rifles and five grenades.
I originally wanted to buy all the grenades, but Lao Dao refused to sell them and said he would keep two for himself.
After the transaction was completed, it was time to part ways.
Lao Dao chuckled and said: Boy, it’s not because you look a bit like my son, but today you decided to leave empty-handed.
I saw Lao Dao and bought a weapon. I was in a good mood, so I smiled and replied: Do you also have such a handsome son?
Lao Dao stared at me intently, and after a while he said: Yes.
