Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

The ground floor of the Central Mall was crowded with people, all looking up at the rooftop and sighing with emotion.

"Look at that hospital gown, he must be mentally ill!"

"He's not just mentally ill, he seems to be a violent maniac. I heard that he kidnapped a doctor from a mental hospital before escaping. This kind of person is terrifying."

"Yeah, it seems like mentally ill people can kill without breaking the law; they can't reason with people."

"It's just a pity for that pregnant woman. With such a big belly, she was kidnapped like this. Her chances of survival are probably slim."

"Who says otherwise? It could very well be a case of one child and two babies, sigh."

"It's just her bad luck to run into a mentally ill person."

"..."

The edge of the shopping mall rooftop.

A middle-aged man with a stubble beard, wearing a blue and white striped psychiatric gown, had his left hand around the pregnant woman's neck, while his right hand held a boning knife against her neck.

Many police officers have arrived at the rooftop, but none of them dare to go forward. Everyone knows that mentally ill people are not to be trifled with.

If you mess with them, you'll end up in a lot of trouble.

The pregnant woman who had been abducted was terrified and cried and begged incessantly.

Her crying only made the mentally ill man more upset; his bloodshot eyes became even more irritated.

"Detachment Qi".

"Detachment Qi".

"..."

Upon seeing Qi Tongwei, his colleagues called out and made way for him, their hearts easing slightly.

After all, Qi Tongwei's competence is evident to all; if he can't handle it, then no one can.

"Get out of the way, get out of my way!"

"Damn it, do you really think my boning knife isn't sharp?"

"If you don't move aside, I'll kill her!"

The volatile mentally ill man became even more agitated after seeing more and more police officers go up to the rooftop.

When it roars, it's like a wild beast.

Qi Tongwei's heart jumped into his throat.

"Dude, don't get excited. My name is Qi Tongwei, and I'm the boss here. You can talk to me if you need anything."

"Shut up, tell your people to get out of here. I'll only count to three!"

"Don't count, I promise you!"

Qi Tongwei looked at Wang Hua and whispered, "Have all the brothers retreat to the stairwell, so that this madman doesn't see them."

"And what about you?" Wang Hua asked with some concern. "He's crazy, don't get too close."

"I know."

Qi Tongwei nodded and began to observe the locations of the mentally ill person and the pregnant woman.

To be honest, this mentally ill person is quite clever. The pregnant woman he kidnapped is probably about to give birth. Such a hostage has no ability to resist and is easier to control.

Moreover, the mentally ill person was standing on the edge of the rooftop, and one hand was around the pregnant woman's neck, which made the sniper powerless. If a shot were fired, the pregnant woman would not be able to escape.

The best option is to calm the other person down.

Sure enough, after seeing the other police officers leave, the mentally ill man's emotions stabilized somewhat.

"Hey bro, wanna smoke?"

Qi Tongwei took out a cigarette and lit one for himself.

"Draw it! Throw it over here."

"Okay, don't get excited, I'll give it to you right now."

Qi Tongwei stuffed the lighter into the cigarette case and gently tossed it across the ground.

Upon seeing the cigarette, the mentally ill man was quite pleased, but he remained vigilant. While using the hand that held the knife to take the cigarette, his eyes were still fixed on Qi Tongwei.

After taking a puff of his cigarette, the mentally ill man let out a long sigh of relief.

Qi Tongwei also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dude, what's bothering you? Tell me, maybe I can give you some advice."

“Tell you? Who do you think you are!” The mentally ill man exhaled a smoke ring. “But this cigarette is pretty good. I can’t get this stuff in the mental hospital.”

"Want some? Just say the word, buddy, I have plenty."

"Tch, who cares about your wine!"

Qi Tongwei: "??????"

Wang Hua and his colleagues, hiding in the stairwell: "???"

Is the thinking of a mentally ill person really this chaotic?

However, Qi Tongwei quickly realized, "You want to drink, right? Tell me, I'll have someone go buy some."

"White liquor, Erguotou!" the mentally ill man said without any politeness, "And a bag of peanuts too."

"Leave it to me, but there's one thing: when I'm doing you a favor, can you give me some face?"

"Say!"

"Release that pregnant woman first. Look at her big belly, it really spoils her mood for drinking."

"Yeah, then I'll kill her, and then we'll drink?"

"No, no, no!" Qi Tongwei broke out in a cold sweat. "Dude, I mean let her go first, not kill her. Killing her will leave blood everywhere and ruin the mood."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" the mentally ill man grinned. "If I let her go, will I still be able to get my drinks?"

"Sure! I promise!"

"What good are your promises? Without the hostages, I'll definitely be taken back to the mental hospital. I never want to go back there again. It's hell, and there are devils there. I don't want to go back."

"Look at you, getting all worked up again." Qi Tongwei exhaled a smoke ring. "You just want a hostage, right? I'll be your hostage, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hua, who was hiding in the stairwell, gasped in shock.

That's a mental illness!

Has Qi Tongwei gone mad?!

Don't you want to die?

"You're taking me hostage?" The mentally ill man scratched his head. "If you take me hostage, who's going to buy the alcohol?"

"Her!" Qi Tongwei pointed at the pregnant woman. "Go buy some wine! Did you hear me?"

The pregnant woman kept nodding.

She wasn't stupid; she knew this was her only chance to escape.

To show his sincerity, Qi Tongwei unloaded his gun and bullets, and then placed one hundred yuan on the ground.

"Dude, how about we give her this hundred yuan to buy us some liquor and peanuts?"

"No way!" The mentally ill man thought for a moment with wisdom, "With so much money, can we add a chicken leg?"

"make a deal!"

"Then come here and be my hostage!"

As he spoke, the mentally ill man slowly released the pregnant woman's neck, his eyes fixed on Qi Tongwei with a sinister gaze.

That look sent chills down Qi Tongwei's spine.

He realized something was wrong, but considering this was the pregnant woman's only chance to escape danger, he still chose to bite the bullet and go ahead.

no choice.

put all one's eggs in one basket.

As Qi Tongwei drew closer, the mentally ill man's eyes grew increasingly cold and sinister.

When the two were less than a meter apart, they suddenly shouted.

"They really think I'm crazy!"

I'll kill both of you!

The sharp bone pick slashed down at an angle.

This knife was aimed at the pregnant woman's head and Qi Tongwei's neck.

Hearing the noise, the pregnant woman stumbled in fright.

Looking back, she saw the blade hovering above her head, with blood dripping continuously from it.
