Compared to Song Heping's caution, the cook seemed very impulsive.
"I can't wait any longer! Every day that the kidnapped person isn't rescued, they are in more danger! I can't just sit here doing nothing, watching Ivan get killed in the Colombian jungle!"
Song Heping also had some understanding of the friendship between Ivan and the cook.
They had known each other since they were children, went to jail together, with Ivan being released first and the cook following later.
It was Ivan who provided him with the capital to open a small restaurant to make a living when the cook was having his toughest time.
Although later the cook was no longer satisfied with being a small restaurant owner, sweating around the stove all day, and instead, recruited a few veterans to work as bodyguards and got involved in the mercenary business, the depth and certainty of their friendship were unquestionable.
