Chapter 515 Who called?
Qi Tongwei's heart moved, and he took out his cell phone to see that it was Hao Shizhong calling.
You know, they had agreed to wait for Qi Tongwei to contact them before. Now that Hao Shizhong called him on his own initiative, he must have made some discoveries.
Qi Tongwei subconsciously glanced at Long Can in the room.
Long Can was like a wolf that smelled danger, looking at Qi Tongwei with a vigilant look.
His eyes were full of suspicion and vigilance, as if Qi Tongwei's phone call was hiding some huge secret.
Qi Tongwei, however, remained calm. Like a genuine job recruiter, he leisurely took out his phone and said to the special forces soldiers, "The job is quite popular. Two people have already contacted me."
As he spoke, he deliberately raised his voice to ensure that everyone in the room could hear him.
"If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who are willing to do it."
There was a hint of disdain in his voice, as if he was expressing his dissatisfaction with these hesitant people.
Qi Tongwei's eyes never left the phone screen, his fingers swiping across the screen, as if he was checking contacts or messages.
In fact, he was quickly thinking about the purpose of Hao Shizhong's call and how to deal with this emergency cleverly under Long Can's nose.
Those special forces soldiers were also very smart and they immediately understood Qi Tongwei's intention.
One of them pretended to be annoyed and said, "Brother Qi, it's not that we don't want to do it, but we still need to think about it. You know that working abroad is not a trivial matter. It would be great if you could give us more time."
Another person echoed, "Yeah, Brother Qi, we also want to make money. But my family will definitely be worried if I go abroad. But it would be a pity to miss this opportunity."
Qi Tongwei listened to what they said but didn't say anything.
After a few seconds.
Qi Tongwei didn't even avoid the question and answered the call directly in front of everyone.
His move seemed bold, but it was actually a carefully planned move. He wanted to make Long Can and everyone around him believe that this was just an ordinary work-related call.
As soon as the call was connected, Hao Shizhong said directly: "Tongwei, are you free to talk?"
His voice sounded anxious, but he was trying hard to control his emotions.
Qi Tongwei said directly: "I've already said that we can talk about work later. There are so few positions now, you can't come just because you want to."
There was a hint of impatience in his voice, like a recruiter who was really annoyed by the job seekers.
As he spoke, he observed Long Can's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
Long Can was staring at him closely, his eyes full of confusion, but he didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
Hao Shizhong immediately understood what Qi Tongwei meant. He knew that Qi Tongwei's current situation might not be convenient for direct communication, so he took the opportunity to convey the message he wanted to convey.
"We just received news that four vehicles are already heading to your clinic."
Hao Shizhong's voice was a little low, but every word was spoken clearly, ensuring that Qi Tongwei could hear this important information clearly.
"I don't know if it's one of theirs, but you'd better be careful."
When Qi Tongwei heard the news, his heart tightened, but he couldn't show it on the surface.
He frowned and said, "There are still three people? It's useless to give me money. It's not about money."
He deliberately turned the topic to work, making people around him think that he was still talking about recruiting.
“Who told you that foreign money is easy to make?”
Qi Tongwei continued, his voice carrying a tone of instruction, as if admonishing those who harbor unrealistic fantasies about working abroad.
At this time, everyone else in the room was listening quietly to Qi Tongwei's phone call. They thought it was just an ordinary conversation about recruiting.
Only Qi Tongwei and Hao Shizhong knew that this phone call contained important information concerning life and death.
Qi Tongwei was thinking quickly about how to deal with the situation in his mind.
Four cars were heading towards the clinic. This was definitely no small move. Regardless of whether the people coming were Long Can and his team, it meant that new variables were about to emerge.
He must be prepared before these people arrive, ensuring the safety of himself and his teammates without exposing his identity and mission.
Long Can was listening to Qi Tongwei's phone call and his brows furrowed slightly.
Although he felt that Qi Tongwei's words sounded like he was dealing with the trivial matters of recruitment, the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
He always felt that there was something wrong with this phone call, but he couldn't put his finger on why.
Long Can narrowed his eyes and stared at Qi Tongwei. His eyes were like a snake spitting out its tongue, cold and full of suspicion.
Qi Tongwei continued his call as if he was unaware.
After a few words, Qi Tongwei hung up the phone.
Then, Qi Tongwei turned his attention to several other special forces soldiers.
There was a serious and unquestionable majesty in his eyes, like a stern commander examining his soldiers.
He slowly said, "Think about it carefully."
"The car leaves tonight."
As Qi Tongwei spoke, he observed Long Can's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
He knew that his every move was under Long Can's surveillance, so he had to make the scene realistic enough.
"The opportunity to make money is right in front of you. This is not a good opportunity that you can come across casually."
There was a hint of temptation in his words, like a devil throwing bait to those who desire wealth.
Qi Tongwei paused, his eyes becoming even more stern, and then he said, "It depends on whether you have the life to catch it."
His words were like a bombshell, instantly causing a stir among the group.
When the special forces heard this, various expressions appeared on their faces.
One of the special forces soldiers, who looked younger, had a hint of hesitation in his eyes, which was then replaced by determination.
He bit his lip, as if to encourage himself, and said, "Brother Qi, I want to give it a try. My family is not well off, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to make more money. Although going abroad is risky, I am willing to take the risk."
Another burly special forces soldier frowned and said with some concern, "Brother Qi, isn't it too hasty to leave tonight? We haven't prepared anything yet. Besides, we don't know much about the situation abroad. If something goes wrong, we won't be able to come back."
His eyes were full of doubts, and his hands clenched and unclenched unconsciously, revealing his inner struggle.
Another special forces soldier scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Brother Qi, it's easy for you to say that. This is a matter of life and death. How can we know if this job is safe? Can you give us some more specific information?"
Qi Tongwei looked at their reactions and nodded secretly in his heart.
He knew that these special forces soldiers had excellent acting skills and had successfully created the complex mentality of ordinary job seekers when faced with such a choice.
After saying that, Qi Tongwei turned around and nodded to Long Can.
The nodding action seemed simple, but it was like a silent communication, as if telling Long Can that he had handled things according to Long Can's requirements.
Long Can narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he still had some doubts about Qi Tongwei's phone call, his doubts were slightly alleviated when he saw Qi Tongwei's current performance.
Long Can held the phone in his hand, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and vigilance.
He whispered to the person on the other end of the phone, "Keep an eye on him to prevent him from playing any tricks."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
His eyes were fixed on Qi Tongwei's figure, as if he wanted to see through some secret from him.
Qi Tongwei walked into the house slowly.
He looked at Long Can and said calmly, "What I just said should have some effect."
His voice echoed in the quiet room, carrying a hint of confidence.
However, Long Can was not affected by Qi Tongwei's words. He still looked at Qi Tongwei's mobile phone cautiously, with suspicion flashing in his eyes.
He knew that at this critical moment, any small detail could hide huge danger.
So, he couldn't help but ask: "Who called you just now?"
Qi Tongwei seemed to have been prepared. Without any hesitation, he took out his mobile phone, skillfully called up the call log, and then turned the phone screen towards Long Can.
The call log only had a note about a person named Zhao Er. Qi Tongwei looked at Long Can and said calmly, "He's a colleague I met before. I also acted in a play with him."
There was no flaw in his expression, as if he was stating a very ordinary fact.
Long Can looked at the call records on the phone screen carefully, without blinking, as if trying to find some clues from the simple names and call durations.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he was calculating rapidly in his mind.
He had never heard Qi Tongwei mention this man named Zhao Er, but Qi Tongwei's frank attitude made him hesitate, not knowing whether he should believe him.
Seeing Long Can staring at his phone screen for a long time, Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Brother Long, if you don't believe me, you can give him a call and ask. However, I think he might find it baffling. After all, we were just acting to make them think this job is in high demand, so they'll make a decision faster."
His words were full of confidence, and he didn't seem worried at all that Long Can would actually call.
After hearing what Qi Tongwei said, Long Can's doubts were slightly alleviated.
He raised his head and looked at Qi Tongwei. There was still a hint of vigilance in his eyes, but his tone was much softer. "Ah Qi, it's not that I don't trust you, but at this critical juncture, we have to be careful. You know, if something goes wrong with what we're doing, it could be a matter of life and death."
