A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 780 The key points

"Useless idiots! A bunch of useless idiots!" Laso had nowhere to vent his anger, so he took it out on his subordinates: "Someone infiltrated our Tianxing Gang headquarters and no one knew, and we were almost wiped out."

Lasso's capable assistant quickly said, "Brother, things have come to this point, there's nothing we can do about it. The most important thing right now is to find these Chinese people and get the money back."

"Then hurry up and go find them! Notify all the brothers outside that they must find these five Chinese men, even if they have to dig three feet into the ground. I can't swallow this insult."

"Brother, please calm down. I have already given the order."

"Tell the brothers to keep an eye on all the airports, and make sure they don't get away."

"Brother, it would be even better if JF could get involved in this matter."

“No, we can’t let JF get involved in this. Otherwise, I, Lasso, will lose all face. This is a matter for our Tianxing Gang. We can handle it ourselves.”

"Brother, let me take you to the hospital to get your hand bandaged first. I'll handle this. I'll definitely get this money back, and I'll also settle the score with the deputy gang leader."

“My hand is fine, I can handle it myself,” he said, his hand now numb and painless. “Tell the brothers to find them within six hours, I’m going to kill them with my own hands.”

"yes, Sir."

……

While Lasso and his men were still searching for the whereabouts of Chao Bufan and his five friends, Chao Bufan and his companions had already boarded a private helicopter, left their country, and returned to China.

After the helicopter carried the five triumphant young men back to the Chinese coast, the five of them staged a dramatic performance on the beach, reenacting their Vietnam trip.

But before they could speak, Zhou Weihua turned his back to them, gazed at the boundless sea, and said earnestly, "Thank you."

"Why thank us?" Chao Bufan and the other three completely understood Zhou Weihua's feelings at this moment.

Zhou Weihua's eyes were filled with tears: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have..."

"What do you want to do?" Ge Dawei asked with a friendly smile.

Zhou Weihua struggled to hold back the tears in his eyes: "You know what I mean."

Wang Dakeng winked at Chao Bufan and the other two: "So how do you plan to thank us?"

"I...ah...you...what are you doing? Put me down!"

Zhou Weihua had barely opened his mouth when Chao Bufan and the other three lifted him up and threw him into the sea without hesitation. Then, the five friends played together in the water.

In the late afternoon, the five friends lay on the beach and began to chatter endlessly about their Vietnam trip.

"That was awesome, so awesome!" Ge Dawei was the first to speak. "What was supposed to be a rescue operation turned into a prison break. It was really exhilarating."

“The key is…” Wang Zi interrupted, “that we were able to escape unscathed, not only finding the real culprit, Lasso, who framed Wei Hua, but also…”

Wang Dakeng interrupted Wang Zi again: "He also managed to extort a little bit of fare from Lasuo..."

Zhou Weihua wouldn't miss the chance to speak: "And we slipped away right under Lasso's nose without anyone noticing."

Chao Bufan was always on the sidelines, keeping everyone entertained and enjoying the free entertainment his friends provided.

As night fell, Chao Bufan finally brought down the curtain on this rare entertainment program: "Hey guys, we haven't eaten all day. Shouldn't we finish talking about something else after we've satisfied our hunger?"

"good idea!"

Everyone agreed immediately, and then they walked together towards the hotel.

……

After a hearty meal, the five good friends gathered in the room and started chatting about everything under the sun. Surprisingly, even after five years, these guys were still the same, like children who never grew up, never stopping.

As night fell, Chao Bufan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He left a note: "Brothers, all good things must come to an end. I have to go now. Take care!" He placed the note on the table and then quietly left.

This time, he didn't go for a night run; instead, he drove away in his own car. After driving for nearly six hours, from one province to another, Chao Bufan parked his car in front of a breakfast shop by the roadside. After having breakfast, as he was about to continue his journey, he suddenly saw four familiar figures standing across the street in front of the breakfast shop, smiling and waving at him: "Hi!"

“You guys…” Chao Bufan was clearly taken aback, then shook his head and smiled.

“Bufan, if I remember correctly, this is your second ‘night run’! What, leaving without saying goodbye? That doesn’t seem like your style!” Ge Dawei always seemed to be playing with the special deck of cards in his hand.

Chao Bufan gave a wry smile and said, "Why did you all come along?"

Wang Dakeng sipped his fragrant, fresh milk: "What, are you surprised?"

Wang Zi said, "Bufan, when you came back from Vietnam, we noticed that something was off about you. We felt that you had something on your mind, and we were right."

"Bufan, has something happened?" Zhou Weihua asked with concern.

Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, saying, "What could I possibly have on my mind?"

"Really not?" Wang Dakeng asked with ill intent. As he spoke, Wang Zi and the other two surrounded Chao Bufan, the four of them encircling him in the middle, looking like they would beat him up if he didn't confess honestly.

Chao Bufan smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, I'll tell you. The reason I left without saying goodbye is entirely due to my own personal matters."

"What private matter?" Wang Dakeng twisted his neck.

"Do you remember that strange dream I used to tell you about every night?"

"How could I not remember? You would cry whenever you had that dream!" Ge Dawei said, sounding understanding. "Are you still having that unrealistic dream?"

Chao Bufan gave a wry smile: "In recent years, although the frequency of that dream has decreased, I still have it every now and then."

"Get to the point." Wang Dakeng knew that Chao Bufan wouldn't bring this up for no reason.

Chao Bufan smiled and then spoke after a moment: "I sorted through this strange dream before, and I felt that there were many suspicious parts to it. So, I thought of going to visit the places that appeared in the dream and also exist in reality, because I don't want to miss anything and regret it for the rest of my life."

"You little rascal, why are you beating around the bush? Just say you're going on a trip, that'll be enough." Ge Dawei suddenly became interested, and the others' eyes lit up as well.

Chao Bufan, speechless: "What do you mean by tourism? I'm going to..."

Unexpectedly, before Chao Bufan could finish speaking, Wang Dakeng pounced on him, his face full of excitement: "Hey kid, don't tell us you didn't go on an adventure!"
