Gunshots suddenly came from behind the restaurant.
After three shots, someone shouted, "Come out! Come out!"
John was stunned. He put down his taco and pressed his heart, but Gao Guang knew that John's gun was hanging on his left rib. He could pull out a gun as long as he reached into his clothes.
John was about to take action, but the drug dealers inside had not yet opened the tunnel, so the middleman had not been caught yet. It would be suicidal to take out a gun at this time.
The drug dealers outside heard the gunshots and rushed into the restaurant almost immediately, first two, and there must be more behind.
Gao Guang felt that it was unreasonable not to run away at this time when they were all shooting.
So they had to run away, following the rich experience of Americans in dealing with shootings.
So Gao Guang suddenly lowered his head and exclaimed in panic, "Sh*t, they're shooting, run!"
Gao Guang stood up and rushed forward while pulling the stunned John, urgently saying, "Are you deaf? They're shooting! Run!"
The two drug dealers behind Gao Guang showed the expected expression. Yes, this was the normal reaction of tourists encountering a shooting, which was correct and reasonable.
In fact, John really wanted to pull out his gun and shoot, but Gao Guang grabbed his right hand pressed against his chest, and John's body tilted and almost fell to the ground, making it impossible for him to shoot.
John was extremely surprised, but he was not stupid or slow. Although he was extremely puzzled and despised Gao Guang's actions, with four or five drug dealers rushing into the restaurant, he could only follow Gao Guang and run out.
The two of them rushed out of the restaurant, and John subconsciously wanted to run towards the hotel, but Gao Guang grabbed him again and urgently said, "Wrong way, this way!"
"You ran the wrong way, not only are you a coward but also directionally challenged!"
Captain and the others were waiting on the hotel side, so it was right for John to run towards the hotel. But Gao Guang had other plans, so he had to drag John to run in the other direction.
"Shut up, don't you understand we'll be caught in a crossfire?"
Some drug dealers rushed over, but some stayed in place. They seemed to know the situation of the middleman and did not need too many people to go in. They also firmly blocked any possible escape routes for the middleman.
Some drug dealers looked at the panicked Gao Guang and John, but no one stopped them. At this time, someone walked out of the restaurant and shouted, "We found him, bring the hydraulic pliers and welding torch, they're in the repair shop. Hurry up!"
Gao Guang heard the drug dealer's shout, and John approached him and whispered angrily, "Are you crazy? You coward, now..."
"Shut up!"
Gao Guang interrupted John's words fiercely, and then he said while running, "You don't even understand what they're saying! Shut up and listen to me. The middleman is still in the tunnel. We won't have a chance to kill him if we stay there. Use your brain and think about it. We'll die before the middleman does if we don't move!"
Everyone had to admit that Gao Guang made sense. John could only regretfully say, "Then we can only wait for them to bring the middleman out before we take action."Gao Guang whispered, "There are at least thirty of them, I don't want to die."
"Coward!"
"Shut up! Idiot! I have a plan!"
The two argued as they ran for forty to fifty meters. Then Gao Guang slowed down and urgently said to John, "Come here, come here."
Gao Guang dodged behind a utility pole and took a deep breath. Then he turned to John and said, "Give me your phone, quickly!"
John took out his phone, but he angrily said, "Get lost! I can make the call myself."
Gao Guang snatched John's phone and said, "I have a plan, do you?"
John's fist was in front of Gao Guang's eyes, but he stopped when Gao Guang asked. He looked puzzled and asked, "What plan?"
"Shut up!"
Gao Guang swiped John's phone and then impatiently held it up to him, saying, "Unlock it, quickly."
John hesitated for a moment, then pressed his fingerprint. Gao Guang took the phone back and quickly dialed 911 after some thought.
Yes, the emergency numbers for reporting crime, fire, and seeking medical help in Mexico are also 911.

"What are you doing? Are you calling the police? Are you crazy?"
John wanted to grab the phone back, but Gao Guang stepped back and angrily said, "Shut up! Don't be an idiot!"
After scolding John, the call was connected. A mechanical female voice said, "This is the 911 emergency center."
Gao Guang raised his voice and, using his halting Spanish, said as quickly as possible, "I've been robbed! I've been robbed!"
"Where are you?"
Gao Guang paused for a moment and then continued in a hurried voice, "I'm... I'm in a restaurant south of the Akumal Hotel, no, no, it's a taco restaurant! I was robbed, please come quickly!"
His voice was urgent and panicked, but John couldn't understand. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but he was afraid that the drug dealers would notice Gao Guang's actions and be attracted over. So John was truly in a state of extreme anxiety.
Then John saw Gao Guang suddenly raise his voice and say in English with great panic, "I've been robbed of $560,000! Cash!"
Gao Guang reported a sum in fluent English, and then switched back to his halting Spanish, continuing, "I've been robbed of more than $500,000 in cash, in a brown bag. It's the money I just won at the Puebla casino. You have to help me get it back. Listen, I'm a US citizen, you have to help me get my money back."
Gao Guang rambled on, and John wanted to say something, but when Gao Guang glared at him, he could only raise his hands and make a helpless gesture.
"Okay, sir, I've arranged for the nearest patrol car to come. Are you injured? Is your situation safe now?"
"The bag of money is a large brown leather bag that looks like an ordinary travel bag, but it contains a huge amount of money..."
Gao Guang glanced at the restaurant. Someone had recently entered the restaurant with hydraulic shears, and now someone was pushing a gas cylinder into the restaurant.The middleman probably couldn't hold on for long, so Gao Guang stopped beating around the bush and describing the bag of money in detail. He immediately said, "I'm not injured. The robbers have already run away. There were two of them, one of them had a gun. They took my wallet and my bag. Listen, my wallet is not important, what's important is my money bag. Hurry up and come!"
"Okay, sir, the nearby patrol officers have already rushed over. Please find a safe place to hide and wait for the police to arrive."
"Okay, I've already hidden."
At this time, John suddenly pointed towards the direction of the restaurant. Gao Guang looked over and could only see a figure being pushed into a car at the entrance of the restaurant by two people.
Gao Guang immediately said, "I saw the robbers' license plate number. The license plate number is T6-BAE, a white Ford sedan. There were two people in the car. They drove towards... um, the north."
The operator was probably speechless. She helplessly said, "You should have said this earlier instead of describing your bag. Please find a safe place to wait. Our patrol officers are very close to your location and they have already set off."
"Okay, that's it."
Gao Guang was extremely satisfied this time and hung up the phone with a click.
John anxiously asked, "What did you say? Did you say the license plate number? Can you see it clearly?"
Gao Guang whispered, "I wrote down the license plate number."
"You remembered all the drug dealers' license plate numbers? Can you remember them?"
"I don't have such a good memory, but there were only two cars at the entrance of the restaurant. I can remember two cars, and they sent the middleman into that white sedan at the entrance of the restaurant. Isn't that enough?"
The sedan started and drove north. Gao Guang breathed a sigh of relief and handed the phone to John, saying, "Call the captain quickly."
John dialed a number, but before he could say anything, Gao Guang snatched the phone back and whispered, "Captain, the middleman is in that white Ford sedan. Follow them from a distance. The police will intercept them. Don't worry, wait and see..."
Before he could finish speaking, John suddenly shouted, "Police cars, pickup truck with a machine gun! How did they come so fast?"
The white sedan had already passed the hotel where the captain and his men were located, but three police cars had driven out from a distance, and the second police car was a pickup truck with a machine gun mounted on the roof.
The drug dealer's car and the police car confronted each other, and then, to John's extreme surprise, the machine gun on the police car suddenly opened fire on the white pickup truck without warning.
Gao Guang was startled. He thought the police car would intercept the drug dealer's car, but he didn't expect the police car to open fire directly.
Gunshots rang out, and bullets enveloped the white sedan. Gao Guang put down his phone and handed it to John, saying, "I won't care about it anymore. You guys handle it. But I think the middleman is dead for sure."
John dumbly took the phone and heard the captain still urgently calling out from the other end, "What happened? What's going on? Hey, what's going on with the police car!"
John opened his mouth and said blankly, "Um...I'll shut up and let him talk to you."
Gao Guang took the phone back and said, "Uh, it's hard to explain for a while, but everything should be okay now. Hang up the phone and we have to throw away our phones."
At this moment, the drug dealer's car began to stop and reverse, while the drug dealers who didn't get on the car hid in the nearest hiding place. Two police cars had already heard the white Ford car nearby, but the police seemed to realize that something was wrong. The two police cars quickly reversed, but fortunately the drug dealers were caught off guard and there was no exchange of fire between the two sides.
