Chapter 78 Diplomatic efforts (1120)

In the yard, old Gilbert said goodbye to his wife.

"Don't go to the cattle and sheep market. I heard there was shooting there before."

While saying goodbye to her husband, Mrs. Gilbert warned her uneasily.

Colombia is like this. Drug lords are rampant and often cause trouble. From the time of Pablo to the present, this generation of Colombians has almost grown up listening to the sound of gunshots.

"Okay, I will pay attention. You must also be careful. Close the door immediately after I leave. There are rumors outside these days that Pedro is looking for a group of people. Maybe there will be a fight..."

Old Gilbert also didn't trust his wife.

"Got it."

Mrs. Gilbert opened the iron gate of the yard and was about to let old Gilbert's car out, but unexpectedly a bread truck rushed in first.

"Ah~~~"

Seeing the person who got out of the van carrying a gun, Mrs. Gilbert screamed in fright, but immediately covered her mouth.

"Don't say anything, we don't want to kill anyone, come here, help us carry the person in..."

Matt got out of the car and closed the door while greeting the frightened old couple.

Old Gilbert should have reacted faster. He immediately got out of the car and helped everyone carry the seriously injured Sonny into the house.

"Medicine, I need medicine. Bring the medicine box from your home."

As soon as he entered the house, Matt urged loudly. Sonny's condition didn't look good. Although there was a layer of flesh pads, the shock wave still damaged his internal organs.

Mrs. Gilbert hurriedly found the medicine box at home. Old Gilbert took it and handed it over, while protecting his wife behind him.

Matt rummaged around inside for a long time, but there wasn't much that could be used.

"It's lucky that he didn't die. There are not enough medicines here, so I can only do simple treatment, but his situation is not optimistic. The only good thing is that there are no symptoms of major bleeding yet..."

Matt is the only one here who has ever been a medic, and everyone believes what he says.

It was God's blessing that Sonny did not die on the spot. If he had symptoms of massive bleeding as he said, there would be basically no way to save him unless he was in the hospital. Once bleeding occurred, Sonny would die within a few minutes.

"I'll go out and buy whatever I need."

Jack looked into Matt's eyes.

"No, Pedro's people must be looking for us all over the world now. If you go out and can't walk more than 200 meters, you will be recognized. By then we will all be finished..."

Matt flatly rejected Jack's proposal. Jack was not angry at all. What Matt said was true, but he couldn't just watch Sonny die in front of him.

At this time, I heard Matt say: "Go away."

Everyone looked around and realized that Matt was referring to old Gilbert.

Then he seemed to be explaining to everyone, and continued: "He is a local, and going out to buy medicine will not arouse suspicion. And I noticed that he has been protecting his wife behind him since we entered the door, which proves that he loves his wife very much."

.So he goes and his wife stays. If he dares to tip off, we will kill his wife..."

What Matt said made sense, but the last sentence still frightened the old couple.

But everyone felt that this plan was feasible, even though it was a bit risky, and everyone's eyes kept scanning the couple.

"I'll go, don't hurt him..."

Feeling what everyone was thinking, Gilbert Sr. stood up resolutely. Mrs. Gilbert behind him kept pulling him, but he just turned around and gave his wife a reassuring look.

Receiving her husband's eyes, Mrs. Gilbert suddenly felt moved in her heart. She had not enjoyed much happiness since marrying this guy, but now this man was willing to stand in front of her to protect her safety. Mrs. Gilbert

I feel that my life is worth it.

No one knew that Mrs. Gilbert had a death wish in her heart at this moment. If old Gilbert really died, she would not live alone.

The people present didn’t know what Mrs. Gilbert was thinking, but they were all willing to take a gamble.

Sonny's condition is very dangerous. If he doesn't get treatment, he will definitely die. Although he may not survive if he gets treatment, everyone wants to try.

After choosing old Gilbert to go out to buy medicine, Jack thought he should give him a reassurance.

He patted Old Gilbert on the shoulder and said solemnly: "I can assure you that we will never hurt your wife before you betray us.

We are just taking a break here temporarily and will leave soon. It doesn't matter whether you pretend it didn't happen afterwards or report it to the authorities. We don't mind if you saw our faces, as long as it happened to us.

After you leave, you will not suffer our revenge. On the contrary, if you betray us, we will hunt you to the ends of the earth. Not only you, but also your wife and children will not survive. Believe me, we have this ability.

It all depends on your choice..."

Jack stared hard into old Gilbert's eyes. This sentence was both a promise and a threat. Old Gilbert swallowed nervously and nodded to express his understanding.

Old Gilbert has left, and what is left is a long wait. No one knows how he will choose, the $1 million reward, or his own relatives?

Time passes by, and every minute of waiting is torture for everyone. No one knows where the nearest pharmacy is, but some people are already thinking about it.

But soon, old Gilbert gave the answer with action. He came back with the medicine.

After observing for a while, Swager closed the door and shook his head, "There is no tail."

The next thing went much smoother, and Matt made simple treatment for Sonny's injury.

"This can last for a while, but the final decision on whether he can survive has to be the hospital."

Matt came to the final conclusion that the medics were not professional doctors after all, they only knew some conventional battlefield first aid methods.

Sonny's will to survive is very strong, and Jack knows it's because he just had a child of his own.

In the next few days, everyone hid in old Gilbert's house. The meals were cooked by the Gilberts. Old Gilbert went out to buy whatever everyone needed. Just like before, when old Gilbert went out, his wife stayed.

Take me hostage.

Sonny's condition continues to deteriorate. He could still speak at first, but now he can't even speak. He can only rely on water to stay alive every day.

Jack knew that they had to find a way to send Sonny back to the United States as soon as possible. His injuries could not last long.

One day later, Jack and the others no longer tied up the Gilberts. Now everyone seems to be used to this pattern. As long as old Gilbert does not betray them, they try to give the couple as much freedom as possible.

It stands to reason that the noise they made at the cattle and sheep market was big enough, but there was not a single word mentioned on the TV news in the past two days, which made everyone once again have a clear understanding of the power of the Pedro Group.<

/p>

Swager contacted General Hammer every day, and finally one day, good news came from there.

"After continued pressure from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Colombian government agreed to send troops to escort us out, scheduled for tomorrow morning..."
