Chapter: 4864
Ye Chen typed back: "We're both clueless. They won't kill us out of greed. Maybe they just plan to trick us into getting on the boat and making us free labor? If we behave ourselves, our lives should be okay. But if we escape now, we'll probably die in Mexico... I don't want to end up buried in some godforsaken place either..."
Liang Hongjun's eyes froze as he read Ye Chen's response.
He knew Ye Chen's words were probably correct.
If we want to escape now, it's only a matter of fighting for our lives.
But the outcome of fighting for our lives would likely be death.
After all, they're well-prepared and have guns, so if we don't agree with them, they'll open fire. We and Ye Chen would definitely be left to rot in the wilderness.
Liang Hongjun has lived in the US for many years, so he's relatively familiar with the situation in Mexico.
This place is filled with armed criminal gangs. The number of criminals exceeds that of police and military personnel. In this place, gangs kill people as easily as stealing bicycles on the street. Not to mention ordinary people being killed - even Mexican billionaires, politicians, and officials are often kidnapped and murdered every three to five days.
To die two foreign tourists in Mexico is worth less than a bicycle left at a net cafe entrance to the police.
Thinking about this, Liang Hongjun was extremely anxious but didn't dare take any rash actions.
He felt that Ye Chen's previous words had some rationality to them.
We're both broke and on the verge of bankruptcy. If they want our lives, it wouldn't mean anything to us either.
If they're still thinking about kidnapping themselves and asking family members for ransom, then it's even more impossible.
Right now, we've already become absolute assets in debt. To be blunt, my wife can't even take out enough money to cover the gas for their pickup truck to pick us up at the airport.
So, Lang Hongjun feels that Ye Chen's analysis is probably correct. They're likely trying to scam us into doing some hard labor.
If it really is like that, then although we might be stuck in a dark situation, at least we can leave with our lives.
As the saying goes, it's better to rely on living than dying well.
Another saying says, "Leave the green mountains and don't worry about having no firewood."
Thinking about this, he had already resigned himself to his fate. The thought of desperate resistance that just flashed through his mind also completely dissipated, and he then used his phone to send a text message to Ye Chen, writing: "I'm really not up for it, older brother, you're the one who's caused trouble for me..."
Ye Chen wasn't at all nervous, responding with a message on his phone that said: "Where's the problem? I came of my own accord. If there are any consequences, they won't be related to you either, older brother."
Subsequently, Ye Chen added another sentence: "Older brother, since we're here, let's just take it easy and do our best. As for whether it's good or bad fortune, we'll know when we get there."
Lang Hongjun really didn't expect that this young nephew of his, who was 10-15 years younger than him, would look at the situation so calmly.
As a result of Ye Chen's influence, Lang Hongjun's heart was no longer as tense as it had been just moments before.
However, he couldn't help but feel anxious and worried about something, so after deleting all the content on his phone, he sat alone by the window, his mind in disarray...
The pickup truck they were in didn't head to that port city called Ensenada as expected. JrNovels.com
