Qi Taiguo gazed at the sea, at that gambling paradise. Ning Ge said that Chiang Qing’s new protector is quite a powerful figure from that Heaven.
He couldn’t understand what motivated that person to shelter a crazy woman like Chiang Qing. What was he thinking? Could it be just because of lust?
"I’ve also heard of people smuggling themselves over from here, including Hong Kong," Qi Taiguo said, smiling at Qu Wei.
Qu Wei took a drag on his cigarette and said, "There’s plenty of that. When I patrolled the seas with the navy, I saw a guy with a tire and a plastic bag stuffed with some clothes, just swimming across like that."
"Oh?" Qi Taiguo burst into laughter. "Smuggling like that?"
"Yeah! Those two places are so desirable. Once over there, no matter what, you can always find a bowl of rice," Qu Wei sighed. "But actually, working as an illegal laborer there, what’s so good about it? There’s no human rights whatsoever, even if you die, you’re dead for nothing."
Qi Taiguo said, "It’s all about striving for something greater. Some people disregard life and death just to make a name for themselves."
Qu Wei nodded, quite agreeing with this statement and asked, "Why are you looking at the sea? Do you want to go over and check out that Heaven too?"
"I’m quite curious to see it, and also to appreciate the scenery abroad," Qi Taiguo said with a laugh, then probed further, "You’ve been here a few years, heard anything about the people over there? I hear the casino bosses all have significant backgrounds."
"I’ve heard bits and pieces, but it’s impossible to deeply understand. We are soldiers, we belong to the righteous faction, and with The Gang, we shouldn’t get involved, you must remember this." Qu Wei glanced at him and said.
"Of course I know that." Qi Taiguo showed no expression and responded with a smile.
