Chapter 5 Entering the Golden Triangle

  Dong Xiaochuan knew that his ruthless display had completely dispelled Shi Haiyang and Teddy's suspicions of him being an undercover agent, because normally a police officer wouldn't have such strong abilities, nor would they have such a ruthless aura. Suddenly, Dong Xiaochuan self-deprecatingly said, "I shouldn't be considered a police officer myself, but rather a dragon tooth of the National Security Bureau."

  Long Tooth is a proud title, even in the entire National Security Bureau, it's impossible for everyone to be called Long Tooth. Only those special agents who have extremely strong abilities and can independently complete extremely dangerous tasks will become Long Tooth. Compared to Tiger Guard, Long Tooth are more comprehensive. Dong Xiaokang becoming Long Tooth also means he has completed many life-and-death missions.

  After walking a short distance, Dong Xiaokang quickly found the car driven by the ambushing gunman. There was not just one car, but three, although none of them were as good as Teddy's, all being ordinary Jeeps.

  Dong Xiaochuan found a Jeep that looked the best and drove it out. This group of people must have been planning to shoot Shi Haoyang dead and leave, so they didn't even pull out the key, which saved Dong Xiaochuan some effort.

  The three of them got back in the car, this time with Dong Xiaochuan driving. Under Teddy's guidance, he pushed the speed to the limit, causing Teddy to exclaim in admiration: "Master Xiaochuan, is there anything you can't do?"

  Dong Xiaochuan saw that Teddy was also a generous person and didn't have any bad feelings in his heart, saying: "As long as you're familiar with it, you'll naturally be able to do it."

  Shi Haiyang sat in the back seat, seemingly closing his eyes to rest, but his mind was constantly turning. He had actually delayed his trip to the Golden Triangle by a week on purpose, not wanting anyone to know about his actions. It wasn't until yesterday that he contacted the general through secret channels, telling him he had arrived and asking him to send someone to pick him up.

  That is to say, only the general knew of his arrival. If the general really wanted to lay a trap for him, then this trip would be fraught with danger. The general usually wouldn't get involved in the profit disputes between various forces, because he was the house, and all the raw materials for the poison were in his hands.

  He originally used the new poison he developed to collaborate with the general. The general was very interested in his technique, but refused to pay him, and finally came up with a compromise, which was to let the buyer pay. The buyer uses 10% of the profit generated by the poison he developed as his patent fee. Of course, they wouldn't call it a patent, but rather a profit-sharing arrangement.

  However, since it's a profit-sharing scheme, profits must be generated first before they can be shared. Therefore, the general made a guarantee that three years later, he would hand over the due profits to Shi Haoyang. Shi Haoyang had roughly calculated that he should have received profits of around $400 million. This year is the fourth year, and he notified the general that he wanted his due profits back, also hinting that he would give him 20% of the profits he received.

  The general claimed to be fair, and Shi Haiyang had long understood that there was never fairness in the world, so he was willing to give him a share of about $100 million, hoping to get another $300 million smoothly.

  It seems that the general has a big appetite. Shi Haiyang thought to himself: But I hope you don't underestimate me either, General. If I didn't have some capital, I wouldn't dare come alone to collect money. He looked at Dong Xiaokang, who was driving with great concentration, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. Heaven is helping me, sending me a master.

  Passing through a forest, suddenly brightened up in front. Not far away, there is a large valley with countless houses shining with light, reflecting the moonlight in the sky, as if entering another world. This is the mysterious Golden Triangle, but this is only one corner of the Golden Triangle.

  The Golden Triangle has three major forces. The first force is a Thai general named Jarernchai, who has an army of nearly 500 people and various types of weapons. He controls dozens of villages around him, with nearly 10,000 villagers growing opium for him.

  The second force is a Chinese man named Dong Biwu, who is a descendant of the Nationalist Party army. He has a group of extremely loyal forces, although not as many as General Guan's, but because they are all descendants of the Nationalist Party army and grew up together from childhood, they are very loyal. This loyalty makes General Guan also very envious. Dong Biwu also has control over seven or eight villages, which also have a close relationship with the original Nationalist Party troops.

  The third force is an American named Sam, who often calls himself Uncle Sam. He has a relationship with the US side. He gathered a group of Western mercenaries, also nearly 100 people, and controlled about ten villages. In theory, he should have more power than Dong Biwu since he controls more villages, but in reality, it's not the case. Firstly, the geographical environment of the villages under his control is not as good as Dong Biwu's, and the yield is not as high as his. Secondly, he belongs to an external force, not a local one.

  The Golden Triangle, although known as a lawless region, cannot compete with national authorities, so various forces have intricate connections with certain political forces of some countries. These are all tacitly understood.

  Dong Xiaochuan drove the jeep up the mountain under Teddy's guidance, and the general's mansion was built on the mountain waist. The surrounding villages were all poppy plantations, and this road was the only way in and out, so as long as the general guarded this road well, he would be much safer.

  These poppy-planting villages are quite large and do not look poor. Although it was dark, under the light of the lamps and moonlight, the brick houses looked better than many rural areas in China. In fact, most rural areas in China in the 1990s were very poor, and many families did not have enough money to build houses with bricks, they were all thatched cottages or earth houses.

  The higher the car went, the better the houses were, and of course, there were more sentry posts. Teddy was familiar with them, and every time they encountered a sentry post, he waved his hand and let them pass through.

  Dong Xiaochuan saw it with his own eyes and muttered to himself that taking this place wouldn't be an easy task after all.

  The car finally drove into a yard with an area of over ten mu. A magnificent villa appeared in front of me. The surrounding lights were shining brightly, as if it were daytime. At the entrance of the villa, several robust young men, no more than 1.7 meters tall, led a large group of people to welcome the arrival of the car, laughing and shouting.

  "Haha, Doctor, you've finally arrived, making us wait for so long." He said as he tightly hugged Xi Haiyang, seemingly sensing something was off about him. After carefully examining him again, he exclaimed: "What's wrong? How did you end up like this?"

  Shi Haiyang smiled wryly and said: "General, brother almost couldn't see you."

  "What's going on?" The general shouted a few more sentences at Teddy in Thai, seemingly asking him something. Teddy also spoke in Thai, explaining something.

  Dong Xiaochuan was proficient in several foreign languages, but he happened to be unable to speak Thai. However, by looking at the expressions of the two people, he understood some of their words.

  The general rubbed his shiny head and said to Shi Haiyang: "Doctor, I'm sorry you were frightened. But don't worry, once you're here, no one dares to touch a hair on your head. Haha, there's a Chinese proverb that says 'great difficulties will not kill you, but bring good fortune instead', this time you've come and you'll definitely leave with a full load."

  Shi Haiyang smiled and said: "Now that I'm with General, what else can I be worried about?"

  The general looked at Dong Xiaochuan and asked: "Who is this...?"

  He Haiyang burst out laughing and said: "This is my bodyguard, but also my brother. Luckily I have him, otherwise I'd be in a precarious situation."

  The general said to Dong Xiaochuan, "I heard from Teddy that you are a special forces soldier from Huaxia, and your martial arts and marksmanship skills are very impressive. When can you show me? We have someone here who is from the US Marine Corps."

  Dong Xiaochuan said calmly: "I'm just a bodyguard now." The implication was that he wouldn't show off any kung fu skills, nor would he compare himself with anyone.

  The general burst out laughing, changing the subject, and said to Shi Haiyang: "Doctor, since you're already here, put your mind at ease. Go take a bath first, then come with me to see our old friends."

  Shi Haiyang said: "Alright, I'm here for these old friends too."

  The general had someone take Shi Haoyang and Dong Xiaochuan to bathe. Dong Xiaochuan walked up beside Shi Haoyang and said, "Doctor, you'd best not leave my line of sight, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety."

  Shi Haiyang patted Dong Xiaokang's shoulder and said, "Brother Xiaokang, now that we're here, no one dares to mess with me behind my back. Otherwise, it would be disrespecting the general. You're not just my bodyguard, you're my brother. Relax, from now on, you'll have a good life. We have fate, let's conquer the world together."

  He took every opportunity to get close to Dong Xiaochuan and deepen their feelings.

  "Alright, big brother." Dong Xiaochuan wasn't a reserved person either, and he smiled as he said: "From now on, I'll call you big brother. I've always heard about the Golden Triangle but have never really experienced it myself. Tomorrow, I want to take a good stroll around, do you think that's okay?"

  Dong Xiaochuan, although an undercover agent, still had some good feelings towards Shi Haoyang. Before going undercover, he had of course studied some materials about him and knew that he was a medical doctor with excellent academic credentials and no criminal record in Huaxia.

  Xie Haiyang smiled happily and said, "That's right, brothers don't need so many rules. Tomorrow I'll let Teddy take you around to see the scenery of the Golden Triangle. The scenery of the Golden Triangle is still good, legend has it that poppy flowers are the most beautiful in the world."

  After finishing their toilet, Dong Xiaochuan and Shi Haiyang went to the living room together. It was found that there were already several people in the living room. The general laughed and said: "Dr. younger brother, you had a fright today. However, since you are here, you can have a good time for a few days. After a few days, when representatives from various places come, we will discuss again."

  Shi Haiyang smiled slightly and said, "Everything will be done according to General's orders."

  The general pulled Shi Haiyang and said: "Let's go, let's go drinking together. Today we won't stop until we're drunk."

  Shi Haiyang also burst out laughing and said: "Alright, I'll die with the general tonight."

  At the dinner party, everyone sat around a large table and started drinking merrily.

  (Some friends must say that since it's an undercover, Dong Xiaokang shouldn't use his real name. The author also understands this principle, but in order not to affect the reader's feelings and not wanting the protagonist to use a fake name at the beginning of the book, affecting the reader's sense of substitution, so I still used his real name.)

  A book, what's most important is that everyone enjoys reading it. Some minor logical errors shouldn't be taken too seriously. I believe such mistakes will still appear in the future, so let me give you a heads up. However, I'll try my best to avoid these errors and ensure that everyone sees a unique yet enjoyable story about officialdom.

  I hope every reader who sees this book will collect it, you can fatten it up and read it later, but be sure to collect it, I believe it won't disappoint you. For new authors and new books, your support is my endless motivation, please vote more!!
