Ultimate Firepower

Chapter 8 Chao Wen Dao

Gao Yi was indeed seriously injured this time, but he recovered faster than others.

The physique of a person who has been practicing martial arts since childhood is different from that of ordinary people.

After about twenty days, Gao Yi was able to leave the bed and walk freely, and after a whole month, he could finally leave the clinic that saved his life.

Luca hasn't come since the last time he came with two bodyguards. But this time he came without bodyguards, but with a large shopping bag.

Throwing the paper bag onto Gao Yi's bed, Luca said expressionlessly, "A total of five hundred and twenty-four dollars. Change your clothes. I'll wait for you outside."

What was worth more than five hundred dollars? Gao Yi thought Luca was trying to cheat him, but when he started taking things out of the paper bag, he found that Luca was quite particular.

A phone costs $499, brand new and unopened.

There was also a pair of shorts, a T-shirt, a pair of slippers, a pair of underwear and a shopping receipt in the paper bag. The amount on the receipt was in Thai baht, but after a rough conversion, it was actually twenty-five US dollars.

Gao Yi changed into new clothes, took a new cell phone, and walked out of the ward.

Ever since he was able to get out of bed, Gao Yi would stroll around the clinic's courtyard every day. Although he had only met the doctor a few times, he was quite familiar with the only nurse.

Gao Yi was leaving today and wanted to say hello to the doctors and nurses, but when he left the ward and the courtyard, he didn't see anyone coming to see him off.

If you don't want to send it, then don't do it. It's a black clinic, so it should have its own set of rules.

The outside that Luca was referring to was outside the clinic. After Gao Yi went outside through the only small door, he found Luca smoking with a melancholy look on his face.

Turning his head to look at Gao Yi, Luca threw the cigarette he had just smoked to the ground, stepped on the cigarette butt, nodded at a bent-beam motorcycle at the door, and said, "Let's go."

A motorcycle, it’s actually a motorcycle?

Gao Yi got on the motorcycle, driving on the asphalt road in the country, feeling the free wind.

Although it was a bit exposed to the sun, it still felt really good.

This clinic is very remote, quite far from downtown Bangkok. It took me almost an hour to get there by motorcycle.

Near noon, Luca finally brought Gao Yi to the place, a food stall with a ceiling fan overhead and no shelter on all sides. It was very hot, but very lively.

Luca didn't say anything, so Gao Yi didn't say anything either.

Gao Yi finally couldn't help himself when he followed Luca to a square table and saw Luca sitting there and picking up the menu with a stern face.

"I said...did I offend you?"

It cannot be said that he was rude at first and respectful later, but Luca's attitude towards his partners is not good. Especially today, the auspicious day of being discharged from the hospital, why does he always look like someone owes him money?

However, after asking this question, Gao Yi found out that he did owe Luca a lot of money.

Luca put the plastic menu down, revealing a pair of eyes. He looked at Gao Yi with an unfriendly look. After a pause, he finally put the menu down completely.

With the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a very cordial smile, Luca said stiffly: "You didn't offend me. Let's celebrate your full recovery."

After he finished speaking, Luca waved to the waiter and said, "Two charcoal grilled prawns, two servings of pineapple fried rice, and two bottles of beer, thank you."

Luca also doesn't speak Thai, so Gao Yi could understand. So after hearing what Luca said, he quickly said, "I can't eat shrimp. Shrimp is... is..."

Gao Yi wanted to say that shrimp is an allergy-inducing food, but he didn't know how to say this word.

Seeing Luca's puzzled look, Gao Yi had no choice but to say, "It's not good for the injured."

"Never heard of that, why would shrimp be bad? Okay, have some."

Gao Yi felt that when Luca handed him the menu, his expression was somewhat indignant.

Don't you want to treat us to a meal?

What's the big deal? We still owe hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign debt. Are you angry over a meal?

Gao Yi thought it was not the case. He looked at the menu, pointed at a dish of grilled pork neck and said to the waiter, "I want this, and this."

Definitely don’t order pineapple fried rice, just regular fried rice will do.

The waiter left. After the waiter left, Gao Yi said to Luca: "Why haven't you shown up for a while? I look forward to you taking me to shoot guns every day."

"I'm not available right now. I'm making preparations." Luca let out a long breath, then he placed a small SIM card in front of Gao Yi and said, "Insert the SIM card, and then I'll send you some information. You'll understand after you take a look."

"Information, have you found any information?"

Luca nodded and whispered, "Yes, the information is not expensive. It only cost five hundred dollars, which means two hundred and fifty dollars per person."

Gao Yi paused for a moment while holding the card, then he nodded and said, "Well, what next?"

"But the news we got is very bad. The target is now in Daqili, not too far from us, but he has six bodyguards around him all the time, four of whom are armed with spears, and two of whom are always nearby for protection."

Gao Yi was holding his cell phone and looking for the place to insert the card. It was a fruit machine, which he had never used before.

Luca couldn't help it, he took out his phone, tapped it twice and put it in front of Gao Yi, saying: "The target goes out very frequently, he often leaves home and often goes to his company. This is good news, but don't forget the six bodyguards around him."

Gao Yi found that his previous thoughts were a bit simple. He thought that he was just a rich man with a few bodyguards around him, but the problem was that he instinctively thought that these bodyguards did not carry guns.

There is no way. Guns are very rare in Gao Yi's familiar environment.

It is not a good idea to speculate on the behavior of lawless places based on the inertial thinking developed in China.

When Gao Yi saw those clear photos, which showed four people carrying AKs standing behind a middle-aged man in a white shirt, he suddenly realized that his target was not someone he could kill easily.

"Uh, bodyguard..."

When Gao Yi saw the gun, he felt a subconscious fear. After all, he had been shot and had just been discharged from the hospital.

Luca continued, "The good news is that the target often goes out with only two bodyguards during this period. The bad news is that this period will not last long and we may not be able to catch up."

Gao Yi looked at Luca and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The target is on vacation these days. He often goes to a new casino in Tachileik. He is not surrounded by many people when he goes there to play, but when he goes to the company, he is accompanied by at least six bodyguards. The target's new company building is about to be completed. After he returns to work, he will not go to the entertainment venue every day. Unfortunately, our target is a workaholic."

"How much longer?"

Luca spread his hands and said, "On April 20th, the target company will start working in the new office building, and today is April 13th, which means we only have a week at most."

One week was indeed a tight schedule, and Gao Yi also felt embarrassed.

Luca whispered, "You've only just recovered. I don't think you'll be able to do anything for a week."

As they were talking, the waiter started serving the dishes. The two stopped talking and after the dishes were served, they ate and chatted at the same time.

Gao Yi finally ate delicious food. After eating sick meals for a month, Gao Yi felt that everything was delicious.

Without saying anything more, I just started eating.

After they had almost finished eating, Gao Yi said confidently, "Don't worry about my health. Although I'm weak, I have no problem killing a person. What I care about is that I haven't practiced shooting yet."

Luca raised his eyebrows and said, "It takes more than a few days to master the marksmanship. If you just want to get familiar with the gun, we can go this afternoon. If you want to practice your marksmanship... forget it."

"Just to get familiar with it, how about we go shoot some guns this afternoon and then look for targets tomorrow?"

Luca was really surprised this time. He looked at Gao Yi and said, "You are even more anxious than me?"

"I don't like to procrastinate. If I decide to do something, I'll do it as soon as possible. Now that I know where the target is and there's a good opportunity, I'll go there right away!"

Gao Yi finished speaking, and then he said confidently: "This is what it means to hear the truth in the morning and be willing to die in the evening."

"What's the meaning?"

"If you know the place in the morning, you can kill him in the evening. This is what Confucius said. Do you know Confucius?"

"I don't know, but it's a good proverb, and it's good for a killer."

While eating and chatting, Luca also finished. He wiped his mouth with a tissue, picked up his phone and made a few taps. Suddenly, he said, "Our meal is 822 baht in total, plus a 20 baht tip, 421 baht per person. I'll pay for you first, and you can pay me back when you have money. Don't worry, I've got it down, and it won't be wrong."

Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, no need. I'll treat you to this meal, just put... 900 Thai baht on my account."
