Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 893 Dangerous Situation II

The telecom fraud park is located in a forest and is surrounded by a river that is several tens of meters wide. The only way to enter and exit the park is through a cement bridge at the entrance.

"I heard it cost this much to build this bridge," Ah Cai said, his left hand on the steering wheel and his right hand flashing a "V" sign, exclaiming in surprise, "Two million!"

After saying that, Ah Cai added sarcastically, "Who would have thought that those people would dare to ask for two million for this cramped cement bridge? Back in my hometown, two hundred thousand yuan would be enough to fix it up neatly. The old men and women who work on it would have to smile and thank you for giving them a chance to eat when they see you."

"Right here, money is treated like dirt!"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Li Xia casually picked up the bottled water from the armrest and waved it in front of him: "This stuff isn't cheap here either, it's all the same thing."

Inside the park, bottled water, drinks, snacks, cigarettes, and other items are priced several times higher than in China. The reason is simple: money comes too easily.

For example, a very ordinary bottle of mineral water costs ten yuan.

"Sigh, it's so hard to save any money here." Ah Cai glanced at him, changed the subject, and said enviously, "Brother Xia, how much prize money did the boss give you for this boxing match? I heard that our boss won three million from Boss Hu this time, so he should give you at least half a million, right?"

"If it weren't for Mr. Wu's kindness in giving me a meal right after we met, I might still be working as that idiot Xixi's lackey in the business building right now." Li Xia took a sip of water, raised his left hand which was haphazardly bandaged, and said with a wry smile, "Hehe, if you want to earn this kind of life-risking money, you have to be alive to spend it."

Ah Cai glanced at the mirror again and asked, "Brother Xia, are we going to the town hospital this morning?" As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at the rearview mirror a few times, as if trying to identify the three people sitting in the back.

Li Xia said, "That's right, this left hand needs to be redone. The bone is probably broken, so we need to put a splint on it, and maybe we'll need some minor surgery."

"Brother Xia, if we're talking about using a splint, I know a place where an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor from Anhui works. His technique is authentic, but he gets up late, so we probably won't see him until noon. However, if we're talking about surgery, we still need to go to an international hospital in Chiang Mai. We'd be doomed here."

Li Xia touched his crooked nose and felt goosebumps all over his body.

Treatments that are common in China, with even 24-hour emergency services, are often delayed abroad. In other countries, you have to wait for the doctor to wake up, and if the condition becomes so serious that surgery is required, you have to be moved to a big city.

Upon hearing that it was some kind of international hospital, I knew it must be privately owned, and the fees must be incredibly expensive.

But all of this is just a minor problem with the nose.

Outside the car window, green mountains stretched out one after another. In this deep mountain forest, there were checkpoints set up along the road, and passing each checkpoint meant an inspection.

The most outrageous thing was that at several corners, you could see several soldiers with guns suddenly appearing on the mountainside. Only after Ah Cai, who was driving, stretched out of the car window and waved at them did he pull back.

It is said that in the eyes of these soldiers, the escaped piglets were walking dollars.

So those piglets raised in greenhouses, even if they're lucky enough to sneak out of the park, they probably won't even be able to climb a hill before these soldiers drag them back to the park to demand a reward from the company.

Ah Cai, who was driving, laughed with a sense of accomplishment: "Brother Xia, don't be fooled by the huge management fee our boss pays every year. Even so, if the escaped piglets are caught and brought back, we'll still have to spend money. But, this money is well spent."

Ah Cai smacked his lips and recalled, "In front of the other piglets, we beat the escapees to a pulp, and after that, no one ran away anymore. According to the boss, that's called management cost!"

Hearing the "smacking" sound from Ah Cai's mouth, Xiao Zhao remembered the sound of the big pigs chewing in the pigpen when he first entered the park a few days ago.

People who eat!
Then, scenes of standing on tiptoe in the water dungeon in the disciplinary room, squatting hunched over in the dog cage imitating dog barks, and so on, resurfaced in Xiao Zhao's mind.

In broad daylight, for no apparent reason, Xiao Zhao's fear exploded, every nerve urging him to run away as far away as possible.

Never come back again, never in this lifetime. The car drove for about an hour before the checkpoints and sentries along the way disappeared.

creak.

After navigating a 270-degree mountain road, the car suddenly braked and stopped behind a military pickup truck that had its engine off.

Ah Cai turned halfway around and explained, "I guess those soldiers need to use the restroom. Let's wait a bit. The mountain path is narrow, and it's not very convenient to squeeze around like this."

As they were talking, two soldiers actually jumped off the military vehicle and, together with the officer who got out of the passenger seat, went to the roadside, unbuckled their belts, and began to enjoy themselves to the fullest.

The officer who had greeted Ah Cai went a little deeper into the woods, until he disappeared from their sight; it must have been a large one.

To avoid further complications, Li Xia nodded in understanding. Looking out the window at the dense forest, he thought to himself, "People will really dare to come anywhere as long as they can make money."

In such a secluded place, who would have thought that they were carrying out online telecom fraud?
Just then, Big Dog's phone suddenly rang.

"Boom, boom, boom."

"This is northern Myanmar, the place where I grew up."

"Welcome to my world, my precious little princess."

Li Xia's expression suddenly changed, and his body stiffened.

Ah Cai was overjoyed and chuckled, "Brother Xia, you use this ringtone too? Wow, this music is really addictive, it's so catchy, a lot of people in our company use this ringtone."

In those few seconds, Li Xia thought about many things.

First, the phone ringtone is exactly the same as Big Dog's. Don't let Ah Cai's current nonchalant attitude fool you; he's probably starting to have some doubts. Second, a normal person, when receiving a call, whether they answer or hang up, would at least take out their phone and look at it.

It's so strange that they didn't even look at it.

Li Xia quickly took out his phone from his pocket, pressed the volume button to mute it, and then pretended to answer a call. He opened the car door and got out of the passenger seat.

We walked into the ravine.

Standing by the roadside, Li Xia glanced down the mountain, thinking that at worst he could jump off from here. With his years of experience smuggling along the Yunnan border, he should be able to escape northern Myanmar.

Of course, he couldn't run away by himself. Zhang Yang, Xiao Zhao, and his brother were still in the car. The safest way was to wait until they got to town and then find an old acquaintance who was involved in smuggling.

After making a perfunctory phone call, Li Xia returned to his car, took a cigarette from Ah Cai, and chuckled, "I got a call from home early this morning, worried that I wasn't doing well here."

"Haha, I understand, I understand. When I first came here, my mom would call me ten times a day, more often than I went to the bathroom." Ah Cai laughed, then turned off the car, opened the door and apologized, "Brother Xia, here I am again, I'm going to the bathroom."

As he closed the car door, Ah Cai glanced at the car keys resting on the center armrest.

That one glance instantly snapped Li Xia to his senses.
