This World Has Gone Crazy

Qi Le and Yi Hang were unconscious for too long. When they regained consciousness, Qi Le reasoned things out with Third Brother, so it was evening by the time they ate. Third Brother sat for a while after dinner. When night fell, they would leave. He got up and put on his coat, then glanced at Qi Le. The latter immediately sat back in his chair, understanding the current situation. “Third Brother, if you don’t trust me, it’s better you tie me up.”

Third brother didn’t feel embarrassed at all and ordered Shunzi to tie him up. “This is just a precaution. Don’t be upset with me.”

“It’s fine.” Qi Le nodded understandably, “I understand.”

“Well, if I can find the money, I’ll give you a reward.”

“No, I’m a realistic person. Since I promised to find money for him at the beginning, I will help to the end. When the time came, I was only planning to ask him for the fee he promised me.”

“Well, it’s good you’re trustworthy.” Third Brother praised him and ordered Shunzi to watch after them, then opened the door and left. Shunzi wasn’t a talkative person and sat in silence, so the room was very quiet for a while. Occasionally only the sounds coming from a certain idiot’s tummy could be heard. It sounded especially clear and abrupt.

Qi Le looked around and asked tentatively, “Older brother, can you give him something to eat? After all, he has amnesia, so it’s not like he doesn’t want to give money to Third Brother. He and Third Brother are still friends, right?”

Yi Hang was immediately moved and looked up at the man expectantly.

Shunzi was silent for a moment. He dug out some rope from within the room and tied them up tightly. Then, he left and locked the door. Qi Le narrowed his eyes slightly. This man looked simple and honest, looked accommodating and seemed perceptive. It looked like he would be somewhat reasonable after all. Yi Hang listened to the click sound coming from outside and waited for a while. Guessing that the man was pretty far away, he asked in a low voice. “Do you think they will let us go when they get the money?”

“Where are they going to get the money from?” Qi Le rolled his eyes.

“Isn’t it in the hospital? Third Brother said that the former owner of my body was pretending to be crazy. The possibility of the money being in the hospital is very high. I think your analysis during the day was quite reasonable. “

Qi Le’s face was covered in black lines. He thought about it and decided that it would be better to explain a little to the idiot first, so that he wouldn’t make any mistakes if his brain stops working later. It wouldn’t take him more than a few seconds anyway. He turned around and said, “Third Brother also said that you were going to pretend to lose your memory before. I think this is more likely. Think carefully. Do you think you can go to a psychiatric hospital when you feel like it? Even if you’re really crazy, it’s too dangerous to hide two million in cash in a place full of people. Who was the one who said the phrase “hide the money with you?”

“...You.”

“Mmm, who talked about mountain climbing?”

“...You.” Yi Hang took a second to respond, then mumbled, “That’s right. These are all made up by you. No wonder I thought something was wrong just now. You were bluffing him.” He looked around. “Let’s run away. Move over and hit the table. We can probably knock the bottle off the table and cut the rope with the broken glass to escape!”

Qi Le’s mouth twitched. “How will you get the broken glass?”

Yi Hang froze. “I’ll lie down.”

“Mhmm, then what if you accidentally lay on the broken glass? If you’re unfortunate, you’ll cut the artery, and it’ll seem as if you’re committing suicide.” Qi Le side-eyed him. “You can’t move your hands now. Even if you can really lie down, you might not necessarily get the glass. Earlier, Shunzi took less than ten minutes to buy food, which shows that the restaurant is nearby. He will be back soon. Otherwise why do you think he left us here without any worry?”

“...” Yi Hang went mad. “What do you say we do then? You lured him away just so he could buy me food?”

“You’re finally asking about this. I wanted to see if he is a kind person,” Qi Le said, “When eating, I saw that he seemed to want you to eat too, but Third Brother didn’t respond.”

“Who cares if he’s kind or not! Even if he is, he’s still a gangster. He will definitely not let us go.”

“You don’t understand this.” Qi Le explained, “Third Brother said during the day that he was going out of town with Shunzi, which means that Shunzi was also involved. Maybe he’s friends with you. Him agreeing to buy you food is proof of that, and I think he is a bit dull and very gullible, so I want you to act out a play. Whether we can leave or not depends on you.”

Yi Hang was shocked. “Me?”

“Mmm, listen to me and remember this well.” Qi Le lowered his voice, “If I ask you ’What’s the matter? Do you remember anything?" you start to act as if you’ve recovered your memory. Talk to him, and then...”

Yi Hang listened quietly and was shocked once more. “What the hell do you want me to say? Are there mercenaries on the mountain? Will he believe it? “

“I’m telling you the truth.” Qi Le looked at him. “The one on the hillside is a high class nursing home. The guard are all mercenaries. The director of the hospital came to the city to look for sponsors and gave my father a brief introduction to the nursing home. My father thought that the hospital was good so he donated a sum of money.”

Yi Hang, “=口=”

“My plan is to fool Third Brother into going there but he definitely won’t be able to get in.” Qi Le said in a low voice, “The harder it is for him to get in, the safer he feels the place is and the more it seems like a place to hide the money. It’s better if he uses violence. Either he and the mercenaries fight to the death or they fight and end up calling the police. In the end, it’s his misfortune.”

“...” Yi Hang asked, “Then why do you want me to act? Just let him die.”

“This is the result I hope for. What if he sees something wrong and runs away? When the time comes, he might guess that I lied to him, or ask me think of some way to help him get in. That’s more troublesome, so it’s better for you to act, and then we run for our lives. This all depends on you. You must hold up. I think you should know something about acting naturally, right?”

Yi Hang finally understood. “Mmm, when will we do this? Wait until Shunzi comes back? “

“No, I don’t think Third Brother has gone to the psychiatric hospital yet.” Qi Le frowned and pondered. “It’s not yet late night. He definitely has to stay up until the early morning.”

Yi Hang was surprised. “Then why did go there? To observe?”

“It is possible but it’s also possible he went to buy the necessary tools.” Qi Le thought for a moment. “You try to talk to Shunzi later and see if he takes to reason with you.”

Yi Hang nodded obediently, spoke a little with him again, and soon realized that Shunzi had returned. Shunzi put the food on the table and untied Yi Hang so that he could use one hand to eat. Then, he sat beside him and watched him, keeping silent. Yi Hang was so numb that he lost his appetite and couldn’t eat any more after a few bites. However, he remembered what Qi Le had said and looked at him. “We knew each other before?”

Shunzi remained silent and nodded.

“Oh, no wonder I think you look familiar.” Yi Hang’s chopstick-holding hand shook uncontrollably. He simply put it down, indicating that he was done eating.

Shunzi got up and tied him up again without saying anything.

Yi Hang was very cooperative and allowed him to do as he pleased. “Where did Third Brother go? To buy something?”

Shunzi was silent for a moment. He felt that it was okay to tell him so he grunted faintly and sat down again.

It turned out to be so... Yi Hang and Qi Le looked at each other quickly and sat obediently, waiting for the right time.
