Chapter 290 A Grand Array
Hearing this, Jiang Bai felt like crying and couldn't help but want to curse.
Where is he supposed to find these things?
And the nameless sword!
That thing didn't even have a name, and even if Jiang Bai found it, he wouldn't recognize it.
If anyone can find him, Jiang Bai will truly kneel down and call him "father"!
However, at least the system's words reassured Jiang Bai a lot.
At least they received reliable information from it that those things posed no threat to them for the time being.
This put Jiang Bai at ease. He then ignored the system's endless recommendations and picked up Dilina, placing her on the bed.
After confirming that everything was alright, I finally fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Jiang Bai woke up to a scream from Dilina.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Dilina sitting on the edge of the bed with a look of fear on her face. The scream I had just heard was clearly from her.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Bai glanced at Dilina.
"I...I think I saw a ghost last night..."
Dilina said in a somewhat panicked manner.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she subconsciously looked at Jiang Bai and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that Jiang Bai was safe and sound, but there was clearly some doubt in her eyes.
If her memory serves her right, when she saw the ghost last night, the female ghost should have been fighting with Jiang Bai.
But now, looking at Jiang Bai, who is clearly unharmed, Dilina is very doubtful whether what she saw last night was real or just a nightmare.
"You're dreaming! How could such a thing exist in the world! I think you've been watching too many movies."
Jiang Bai chuckled and patted the other person's smooth, beautiful face, saying with a smile that he didn't mention anything about what happened last night, only saying that the other person was dreaming.
This put Dilina at ease, and she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two of them washed up, changed their clothes, and had breakfast, someone knocked on Jiang Bai's door.
Besides Su Liya, who had been with him before, another familiar face appeared before Jiang Bai—Cai Ba!
Upon opening the door, I saw two people standing at the entrance with respectful smiles on their faces.
Cai Ba greeted Jiang Bai first: "Mr. Jiang, it's been a long time. Welcome to Taixi. General Khun Sa has arrived and is waiting for you upstairs."
Jiang Bai was stunned by what he said. He had contacted Cheng Tiangang before going to bed last night to tell him that Kunsha would be meeting him today and to arrange to give Cheng Tiangang a message when he met Kunsha.
Jiang Bai had thought this would be a very complicated matter. He was sure there would be a complicated process for Khun Sa, that cunning old fox, to meet with him. But Jiang Bai never expected that Khun Sa would arrive when he woke up.
Moreover, the fact that it was located just above his hotel room surprised Jiang Bai.
Khun Sa's arrival was too sudden. It's obviously too late to notify Cheng Tiangang now. Cai Ba and Surya are right in front of him. Does he think he can send Cheng Tiangang a text message on his phone?
Moreover, in the current situation, telling Cheng Tiangang that Cai Ba is here and letting him launch a long-range attack would be like blowing yourself up as well.
Jiang Bai didn't think Cheng Tiangang would go easy on him just because he was with Kunsha.
It might be even more efficient and decisive.
It's all because I got so close to Zhao Wuji that Cheng Tiangang wants me dead.
Moreover, there's still Dilina around; Jiang Bai couldn't bear to let her be buried with Khun Sa.
Therefore, Jiang Bai abandoned this idea and went to see Khun Sa first.
If possible, Jiang Bai wouldn't mind personally taking care of Khun Sa.
Following Cai Ba upstairs, Jiang Bai immediately sensed something was wrong. There were at least a hundred gunmen scattered throughout the entire building. What was even more troubling was that Jiang Bai noticed that the building had been planted with bombs.
Although it was in an extremely hidden corner, Jiang Bai could still see everything clearly.
As he climbed the stairs and passed the window, he was astonished to find that the street below was under martial law, with at least a regiment of troops deployed around the street and more than a dozen menacing tanks scattered along it.
In addition, two armed helicopters were circling in the sky, their missiles painted white and conspicuous.
This left Jiang Bai speechless. After a fraction of a second of thought, he abandoned his plan to kill Khun Sa here.
Killing Khun Sa would be easy. As long as Khun Sa was within a hundred paces of him, Jiang Bai was confident he could easily deal with him.
The key issue is how to get out after killing Khun Sa; that's a huge problem.
Jiang Bai didn't think he could escape unscathed from this heavily armed army.
He didn't come here with the mindset of becoming a martyr.
He was willing to sacrifice himself for Cheng Tiangang's unparalleled achievements...
Jiang Bai wasn't that stupid.
Upon reaching the top floor, Jiang Bai discovered that there was only one room on the hotel's rooftop. Pushing open the door, he found himself in a spacious living room that spanned several hundred square meters.
The room was extremely luxuriously decorated, no less so than Jiang Bai's home in Tiandu. It was spacious and bright, with a direct view of the beach. In the center of the spacious hall, a sofa set more than ten meters long was placed.
The surrounding walls were adorned with several well-known paintings, some of which, in Jiang Bai's opinion, were definitely not forgeries.
This place must be one of Khun Sa's strongholds.
Upon entering, besides the spacious hall, the most eye-catching thing is a middle-aged soldier sitting in the center of the hall, directly opposite the entrance.
He had three stars on his shoulders, dark skin, and a sinister and domineering appearance. There were two white beauties in bikinis on each side of him, and two elderly men who looked like natives standing respectfully behind him.
Behind him, along the wall, stood forty or fifty people, all fully armed. It was easy to see that they were all elite soldiers, each one a veteran who had killed and seen blood.
This person is undoubtedly Khun Sa. Jiang Bai has seen his photo before and won't mistake him.
Upon seeing Jiang Bai enter, Khun Sa immediately stood up with a hearty laugh, stretched out his arms, and walked towards Jiang Bai, wanting to give him a hug.
As they walked, he said, "Welcome to Parthia, Brother Jiang Bai. I've long admired you. It's only now that we meet that I'm surprised at how young you are. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."
"I wouldn't dare say that heroes emerge from among the young, but General Khun Sa, you are truly better off seeing me in person than hearing about you. Could it be that you've grown old and become cowardly? If I didn't know you were here to see me, I would have thought you were here to fight!"
"Tsk tsk, you've got a whole armored regiment, haven't you... Have I, Jiang Bai, really become this terrifying? Enough to make General Khun Sa so cautious?"
Jiang Bai didn't refuse the hug. Although he didn't like the smell of the other person, he knew it was a sign of affection, so he didn't refuse.
However, after the hug, Jiang Bai spoke without any restraint, showing no consideration for Kun Sha whatsoever, and directly stated what he had seen...
Chapter 291 Khun Sa Sends Gifts Again
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone around him changed. The two old men standing behind Khun Sa suddenly raised their heads and looked at Jiang Bai, their eyes flashing with a fierce light.
On the other side, dozens of strong men standing there raised their guns. In an instant, dozens of guns were aimed at Jiang Bai, as if Jiang Bai would be riddled with bullets as soon as Khun Sa gave the order.
No one had ever dared to speak to Khun Sa like that.
At least in their memory, no one dared to speak to Khun Sa like that.
Jiang Bai merely sneered and remained silent, simply staring at Kun Sha.
After a moment, Khun Sa suddenly turned his head and scolded the people behind him: "What are you doing! What are you all doing! It was just a joke, why did you take it so seriously? You're making a fool of yourselves!"
This prompted the group to put away their weapons, each staring straight ahead with unwavering focus, their movements perfectly synchronized – a testament to their elite status.
Then he looked at Jiang Bai and said with a smile, "Brother, don't mind. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that when you're in the martial world, you're bound to get your shoes wet. If I, Kun Sha, hadn't been careful in everything I did, I would have died countless times already."
"The government forces, and others, I have too many enemies. I don't know how many people want me dead… I have no other choice."
After saying that, he looked helpless and pulled Jiang Bai to sit down. He kept lamenting his experiences over the years, saying that others only knew that he, Khun Sa, was powerful and influential, but they didn't know how difficult his life had been.
Millions of people are waiting with their mouths open for food...
More than 100,000 troops need to be supported...
And countless people wanted to kill him, and so on...
Jiang Bai was speechless.
Khun Sa's complaints were half true and half false, and Jiang Bai almost couldn't help but ask Khun Sa, "Since it's so hard, why don't you retire?"
But the question remained unasked.
You can't believe everything Khun Sa says, like the current situation.
It wasn't about guarding against assassination; it was completely targeting Jiang Bai.
Khun Sa was demonstrating, telling Jiang Bai: "Even if you're powerful, don't mess around. I'm not someone to be trifled with either. There's an armored regiment waiting for you outside. If you try anything, I guarantee you won't survive."
These were all private thoughts, and naturally couldn't be brought up in public. Jiang Bai didn't expose them, but smiled slightly and listened quietly to Kunsha's complaints.
What Jiang Bai didn't expect was that Khun Sa, who seemed cold, ruthless, aloof, and unrestrained, was actually a complainer. Once he started talking about something trivial, he would go on and on.
He started talking about how he went to the front lines ten years ago and almost died in a gunfire attack, and continued until last month, recounting all sorts of trivial things, like how he caught that Western policewoman.
He talked on and on for an hour or two, giving Jiang Bai a splitting headache. Looking at those constantly moving lips, Jiang Bai really wanted to ask Khun Sa if he was thirsty or not.
However, before he could finish speaking, Khun Sa's words made Jiang Bai's heart tighten.
Khun Sa said, "You don't know, I've recently run into a troubling matter. The deputy captain of my guard team, who has been with me for one or two decades, turns out to be an undercover agent from China! Damn it! He was actually sent to my side more than ten years ago!"
"Back then, I was a regimental commander. Why were they targeting me? Was it because I already had some strength in the Black Triangle?"
"You don't know, this guy is incredibly stubborn. We've been interrogating him for days, and he hasn't said a single word!"
"Damn it, I have food, drink, and money to spend with you, why did you have to become a lousy cop! I really don't know what you were thinking!"
"You have no idea how scared I've been lately. This guy is one of my trusted confidants, and I was even planning to make this bastard my captain of the guard this year! Wouldn't my head be in his hands by then?"
"I don't know who's controlling him, but I have to find out!"
These words sent a chill down Jiang Bai's spine. Without a doubt, this person must be Cheng Tiangang's mole.
Unexpectedly, this person was eventually found by Khun Sa.
This person knows too much; once he's found out, Jiang Bai will be in big trouble.
If they loosen their grip, Jiang Bai will be in danger.
After all, this is Khun Sa's territory. Didn't you see an armored regiment roaming around below?
This made Jiang Bai, who had been at ease, start to feel uneasy. He wondered whether he should deal with Khun Sa as soon as possible, or leave this place of trouble.
It's definitely not going to work today.
Dealing with Khun Sa was easy. Despite his loud and boisterous demeanor and the presence of so many people around him, and despite the two elderly men behind him who didn't seem like ordinary people, Jiang Bai had absolute confidence.
Khun Sa was only a meter or two away from him; even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't save him.
The problem is that Jiang Bai isn't confident he can leave after dealing with Khun Sa, and he's even less confident about taking someone with him.
So he could only wait, sit down and continue listening.
At least Khun Sa didn't bring up those old stories. He clapped his hands, and the building doors opened. A mixed-race girl in a bikini walked in, carrying a tray covered with a red cloth. She walked up to Khun Sa.
Unveiling the red cloth, a gleaming sword appeared before Jiang Bai. On a black wooden frame, a golden blade was visible, the scabbard and hilt made of pure gold and covered with colorful gemstones.
It shines brilliantly under the sunlight, making it irresistibly attractive.
The only regrettable thing is that the blade is extremely long, only slightly longer than a regular dagger, about thirty centimeters long, which is obviously not for actual combat and should be a decoration.
Seeing Jiang Bai's curious gaze, Khun Sa smiled and said, "This is the treasured sword of the Thai King. It has a history of more than 300 years. It was the sword of the king of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. It was made by skilled craftsmen and is inlaid with eighteen gemstones of various colors. It is extremely precious."
"The only drawback is that it has never seen blood, but that's precisely why it's perfect for collecting. So I'm giving it to Brother Jiang."
After saying this, Khun Sa instructed his men to deliver the items to Jiang Bai's room.
Jiang Bai naturally expressed his gratitude.
But she couldn't help but find it amusing. This was the third time Khun Sa had given her a gift. The first time, the policewoman had helped her remove the nails that Cheng Tiangang had arranged.
The second one is Dilina, a beauty of mixed heritage from four countries, she is indeed quite good.
Now, he's been given this precious sword. Jiang Bai estimates that, with its added historical value, the sword is worth at least a million dollars.
This made Jiang Bai sigh, this Khun Sa was truly the person he had ever met who loved giving gifts the most!
However, at the same time, Jiang Bai couldn't help but wonder why Khun Sa kept sending him gifts, each one more expensive than the last.
Just because... he was his partner?
Jiang Bai absolutely refused to believe it!
Chapter 292 Seeking Something
However, Jiang Bai's guess didn't last long before Khun Sa spoke up.
"Here's the thing, Brother Jiang, I heard something, but I don't know if it's true or not, so I wanted to ask you to verify it."
Jiang Bai narrowed his eyes at those words, glanced at Khun Sa in front of him, and said noncommittally, "If there's anything you need, General, just say it."
"Haha, don't call me General, just call me Big Brother. Actually, it's nothing much, it's just that a friend told me the other day that Brother Jiang has now invested in Portugal? And become the third largest individual shareholder in Portugal?"
"I wonder if it's true or not?"
After a hearty laugh, Khun Sa's smile faded, and his eyes became fixed intently on Jiang Bai in front of him.
Jiang Bai felt a chill run down his spine at those words, a bad premonition creeping into his heart. He glanced at Kun Sha with suspicion.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke: "That is indeed the case. Eight percent is not much. As for whether he is the third largest individual shareholder, I am not sure."
How did Khun Sa know about this?
Jiang Bai was very curious, because in principle, this matter should be kept absolutely secret.
Jiang Bai didn't believe that Mr. He would publicize what happened back then.
But since Khun Sa already knew, Jiang Bai felt there was no need to hide it, so he told the truth. As for Khun Sa's purpose, Jiang Bai didn't know.
However, we can simply deal with whatever comes our way.
"Hehe, I see. Well... since Brother Jiang and I are on the same side, there are some things I was originally unwilling to say, but now I think... I still have to tell you, brother."
Upon hearing this, Khun Sa chuckled, rubbed his hands together somewhat embarrassedly, and said this.
He made no attempt to hide the urgency in his words.
Jiang Bai rolled his eyes at these words, thinking to himself, "It's not like you'll only speak if I tell you to. Stop being so coy and pretending!"
However, while he might think this in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud. Saying it would mean tearing off the mask of civility, a simple truth that Jiang Bai understood.
Jiang Bai glanced at Khun Sa in front of him and slowly said, "You said we're all on the same side, so let's just put things out there. If I can help, I certainly won't refuse!"
"Yes! Of course I can help! It just depends on whether you're willing to help, little brother!"
Khun Sa hurriedly said.
This time, Jiang Bai remained silent, simply watching Kunsha quietly, waiting for him to continue.
Sure enough, after a moment, Khun Sa spoke up: "To be honest, brother, I have a special fondness for Portugal. More than ten years ago, I wanted to take over Portugal. Back then, I mobilized a large amount of funds and took billions to Jiangmen to meet Mr. He, hoping to enter Portugal and become a shareholder."
"But, you know, Mr. He looks down on someone like my brother, and he thinks my money is dirty, so he wouldn't let me in."
"Even though I had taken a share from a few small shareholders, I was forced to give it back."
At this point, a hint of anger and ferocity flashed in Khun Sa's eyes, clearly indicating that he still harbored resentment over what happened back then.
He spoke lightly, but Jiang Bai could already imagine the scene.
In Jiangmen, Mr. He was indeed difficult to deal with, but Khun Sa was not someone to be trifled with either.
He probably didn't use any legitimate means to acquire the shares from several minority shareholders.
Otherwise, Mr. He would really have no way to deal with him.
This matter may seem like just a few words, but countless people died back then; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that rivers of blood flowed!
Otherwise, how could Mr. He have gotten Khun Sa to vomit up all the meat he had eaten?
Jiang Bai knew this in his heart, but he didn't interrupt. He smiled slightly, glanced at Kun Sha who had paused, and gestured for him to continue.
But he already had a bad feeling; he knew that Khun Sa had his eye on his shares in Portugal!
Khun Sa continued, "Although I was slinked away back then, I've never given up on this matter in my heart for over ten years!"
"Well... I heard you got shares in Portugal, and I'm so envious! So... I'm hoping you could do me the favor and transfer your shares to me..."
Then the main event began.
One sentence caused Jiang Bai's expression to change several times. He opened his mouth and slowly spoke: "This matter..."
Before Jiang Bai could speak, Khun Sa stopped him and quickly added, "Of course... I won't let you suffer a loss, brother. Everyone knows that Portugal is a hen that lays golden pills. An 8% stake can bring you considerable profits every year."
"More importantly, this money is all clean and transparent, and I wouldn't be willing to spend it if it were me."
"So, if you're willing, I'm willing to double the price and buy your shares!"
One sentence made Jiang Bai gasp in shock.
This Khun Sa is really generous. You know... Portugal is a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, and 8% of the shares are worth between 17 billion and 18 billion based on market value.
Doubling the price means that Khun Sa would have to come up with at least 34 billion to 36 billion.
This is all cash!
What does 30 billion yuan in cash mean?
Even if it were Zhao Wuji's Wuji Enterprise, he couldn't come up with that much money in a short period of time.
Without bank loans, even Fortune 500 companies generally cannot come up with that much money.
This demonstrates the extent of Khun Sa's wealth.
Of course, this is also why his laundry detergent business is so profitable. However, he has to use that money to support his army, support the people, cover his own expenses, and bribe a large number of people. Jiang Bai originally thought that Khun Sa would be short of money.
In retrospect, I underestimated the other party's profits.
"I need to think about this..."
Jiang Bai pondered for a moment before speaking, neither agreeing nor refusing.
However, in my heart I had already rejected the idea.
Even if I sell my shares to Khun Sa, Mr. Ho will probably go to war with Khun Sa and prevent him from moving in. Mr. Ho may be able to tolerate me, but he may not be able to tolerate Khun Sa.
I can at least act as a stabilizing force, without participating in management or using Portugal for any illegal activities.
But if these shares fall into Khun Sa's hands, who knows what he'll do with them? He might use them to blackmail people and launder money.
Moreover, Khun Sa is too audacious and has no scruples. If he really does this, the amount of money involved will definitely be astronomical, and then he may not be able to do business with Portugal.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Jiang Bai. The key point is... he didn't want to transfer the business at all. Khun Sa offered a lot of money, but who knows if the money came from a clean source or if there might be any problems?
Jiang Bai had no desire to cause trouble for himself, and even less desire to use this ill-gotten money!
Chapter 293 Please come over
Upon hearing Jiang Bai agree to consider it, Kunsha's face lit up with a bright smile.
He never expected Jiang Bai to agree immediately.
The sale of the Portuguese shares is a major event, a momentous one.
If Jiang Bai readily agreed, Khun Sa would have to consider the veracity of the matter and whether there were any hidden details he was unaware of.
Jiang Bai's statement that he needed to consider it was exactly what he expected.
"Haha, it's good that you agreed to consider it. I was just afraid you wouldn't even consider it and would reject me!"
Khun Sa laughed heartily, then, as if remembering something, gave Jiang Bai a new suggestion: "If you think it's inappropriate to sell everything at once, I can also acquire some of them, as long as you can fully assist me in taking over a few casinos."
Jiang Bai rolled his eyes at those words, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."
However, his facial expression remained unchanged, and he even nodded solemnly.
In his heart, Jiang Bai had already cursed Khun Sa from beginning to end. If he were to follow Khun Sa's suggestion, Jiang Bai might as well just give the shares to Khun Sa, take the money, and never contact him again.
However, Jiang Bai still did not object, even though he had already decided in his heart that Khun Sa was a dead man.
After that, Khun Sa stopped arguing with Jiang Bai about the issue and instead started talking to him about romantic things.
He said things like, "Even though I've been holed up in this old place for years and haven't left, I've slept with countless celebrities and beautiful girls."
There are even stories about sisters killing each other and mothers killing each other.
Jiang Bai was speechless at this, and responded with a few words while listening to Kun Sha rambling on.
Jiang Bai wondered if it was because he usually had no one to talk to, and that he couldn't help but want to chatter on and on when he suddenly met a stranger.
Jiang Bai's guess was actually correct.
Khun Sa was supreme here, and no one could sit on equal footing with him. It was lonely at the top, so naturally no one dared to chat with him. Usually, they would talk business if they had something to say, and if they had nothing to say, they would just offer a few words of flattery and leave.
Having finally met someone of equal status and position, Khun Sa naturally opened up and talked non-stop.
Finally, noon arrived. Under Khun Sa's arrangement, Jiang Bai began to eat, and had Dilina called over to dine with him.
The meal was very lavish, with dozens of dishes laid out on the table, including some unique local specialties. Khun Sa invited Jiang Bai to try them.
Unfortunately, upon seeing those things... Jiang Bai couldn't bring himself to eat them and politely declined.
The two drank quite a bit of wine during the meal and had a pleasant conversation.
As they were drinking, Jiang Bai suddenly glanced at Dilina, who was serving him wine and food, and a thought struck him. He looked at Khun Sa and said with a smile, "Brother Khun Sa, I have another favor to ask."
"Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll definitely help if it's within my power!"
Slightly drunk, Khun Sa waved his hand boldly, as if to say, "Just tell me what you want, there's nothing I can't do!"
"I heard from Dilina that her family is still being held in a military prison near Guman, I wonder if Brother Khun Sa could do her a favor and get them out?"
One sentence sobered Khun Sa up a bit, and the smile on his face disappeared. He glanced at Jiang Bai, then at Dilina beside Jiang Bai, and squinted as he looked Dilina, who was dressed in red, up and down.
After a long pause, he slowly said, "This matter is not easy to handle... If you say that the person is in my hands, it's just a matter of a word from you, and I will release the person immediately."
"The key is, this person isn't in my hands. You know, these brothers of mine fought alongside me, risking their lives against the government forces. We're mortal enemies. My influence over there is limited..."
Damn it! You're the one who arrested them, do you think you can't do anything about it? What nonsense are you spouting? Do you think I'm stupid?
Upon hearing Khun Sa's words, Jiang Bai almost couldn't help but curse, his anger rising within him.
However, she didn't show anything on her face. Instead, Dilina looked saddened after hearing these words.
"I know this is a difficult situation for you. Well… if you agree to help, then I also promise you that I will carefully consider the suggestions you made today."
Jiang Bai knew that Khun Sa was determined to succeed without seeing any benefit, so he offered his terms, saying that if Khun Sa was willing to help, he would give more consideration to Khun Sa's previous proposal.
"Haha... I'll do my best! Although I don't get along with them, I still have some friends. It's just that this matter is much more complicated and not so easy to handle. I think we should wait until Brother Jiang has thought it through before we can rescue the person."
Jiang Bai wanted to curse after hearing this. Khun Sa's meaning was very clear: Dilina was given to Jiang Bai, but she was still under Khun Sa's control. Jiang Bai wanted Dilina's family.
It's not impossible, but we need to agree to his demands. Once Jiang Bai agrees to his demands and even completes the transaction, he will naturally give Dilina's family to Jiang Bai.
These are his conditions!
Hearing this, Jiang Bai stopped talking. People like Kunsha are suspicious and stubborn, and there's no need to dwell on it anymore.
Because Khun Sa had already made up his mind.
Jiang Bai knew that saying too much would only arouse the other party's suspicion, so he simply replied, "Alright then."
I won't say anything more.
They then drank with Khun Sa for a while longer.
Jiang Bai's godlike drinking capacity quickly knocked out Khun Sa. Not only Khun Sa, but also his companions, Chai Ba and Surya, all collapsed under the table.
As for Jiang Bai himself, he was also slightly drunk.
With a shudder, he circulated his internal energy, and beads of sweat appeared on Jiang Bai's palms, forehead, and back, completely dispelling his drunkenness.
Jiang Bai could only sigh helplessly as he watched Khun Sa slowly depart under heavy guard.
He wanted to make a move, but he wasn't entirely confident.
He could only look for another opportunity, but... in Jiang Bai's view, this opportunity was extremely slim.
Because Khun Sa was too cautious.
Going out the door is like going to war; how is Jiang Bai supposed to make a move?
Left with no other choice, Jiang Bai returned to his room, watched some boring TV programs for a while, cultivated for a bit, and then fell into a deep sleep.
I got up in the late afternoon, had dinner, and took a walk with Dilina. I also comforted the girl who was quite upset that day, and then the two of us returned to the hotel.
Something was bound to happen that night. Dilina was very grateful for Jiang Bai's help earlier that day and was unusually proactive.
I didn't fall asleep until most of the night had passed.
The next morning, Jiang Bai had just opened his eyes when there was a knock on his door.
The newcomer was a stranger with dark skin and a face weathered by time. He stood there expressionlessly and greeted Jiang Bai: "Mr. Jiang, General Khun Sa would like to invite you over."
Chapter 294 What kind of plan is this?!
This left Jiang Bai somewhat stunned.
According to Jiang Bai's plan, Kunsha agreed to give him a few days to consider.
Khun Sa will definitely not see me again in the next few days. Instead, he will give me enough time and try to get me to agree.
But what's going on?
Only one day has passed...
Why would someone knock on the door so early in the morning?
Moreover, it wasn't even someone he knew, which puzzled Jiang Bai greatly.
Jiang Bai frowned as he looked behind the other party, at the two rows of soldiers standing on either side of the door, stretching all the way to the end of the corridor, armed with guns.
It's not that I'm afraid of anything; these people don't pose much of a threat to me.
But it gave Jiang Bai a bad feeling.
"Wait a moment, let me pack."
He left the other person with those words and then slammed the door shut.
More than ten minutes later, Jiang Bai, having finished washing up, walked to the front door, opened the door, and left with the other person.
After getting into a military jeep, Jiang Bai left the hotel, exited Parthia City, and headed straight for a small hill in the southern suburbs, escorted by hundreds of soldiers.
About half an hour later, after crossing the road, they arrived at a dense forest at the foot of the mountain. The trucks following behind them stopped moving, and hundreds of soldiers disembarked one by one.
Jiang Bai then rode in a jeep into the forest path.
As soon as he entered, Jiang Bai sensed that something was wrong. The dense forest along the way was filled with murderous intent. In addition to the guards every ten steps and sentries every five steps around the path, Jiang Bai also discovered figures lurking in the jungle.
Along the way, there were at least three or four hundred people, and also several new tanks.
As Jiang Bai drove inside, several armed helicopters roared overhead and circled overhead.
This made Jiang Bai narrow his eyes. He glanced at the lieutenant colonel who was there to greet him and asked noncommittally, "General Khun Sa, didn't you say what you wanted to see me about?"
"The general didn't say, you'll find out when you get there. He's waiting for you."
Without answering Jiang Bai's question, the lieutenant colonel only gave this one sentence, which was somewhat cold and completely lacked the respect that the others had shown when they met him before. This made Jiang Bai feel even colder.
They began to subtly become wary.
Jiang Bai had some doubts, however, about whether Kun Sha had already gotten something out of Cheng Tiangang's undercover agent.
However, he quickly dismissed the idea, thinking it was unlikely. If Khun Sa had found out anything, he would have simply eliminated him. Why would he need to see him? This was not normal.
Jiang Bai was overwhelmed with thoughts.
However, he didn't have much time to think about it. A few minutes later, a luxurious villa hidden deep in the mountains and forests appeared in front of Jiang Bai.
The building, which occupies a vast area and is hidden among dense forests, is entirely camouflage-colored and has hundreds of rooms. There is also a rockery and fountain in the center, but they are hidden by the lush trees.
From a distance, Jiang Bai saw Kun Sha on the second-floor balcony, his hands resting on the table, staring in the direction he had come from, his face somewhat gloomy.
With Jiang Bai's keen eyesight, he even noticed the cold smile that flashed across the other person's lips when they discovered him.
This made Jiang Bai's heart sink even more.
The bad feeling grew stronger.
Upon entering the courtyard and walking into the living room, one finds that the dimly lit living room, now completely darkened by the curtains, is where Khun Sa stands on the second floor, coldly watching him.
Eight burly, shirtless men stood before him, staring coldly at him and blocking his way. Behind them were two elderly men who stayed close to him.
Jiang Bai had met these two old men yesterday. They looked to be in their sixties or seventies, with dark skin, extremely thin, almost skin and bones, and sunken eyes, yet they exuded a cold aura.
You can tell at a glance that he's no ordinary person.
"Brother Khun Sa, what brings you here so early in the morning?"
Jiang Bai smiled as soon as he entered the room, laughed heartily, and walked towards Kunsha.
Before he could take two steps, more than a dozen soldiers rushed up and pressed the dark muzzles of their guns directly against Jiang Bai's forehead.
It was as if they would immediately open fire if Jiang Bai made the slightest move.
"Don't call me 'Big Brother,' I don't deserve that title. Being your big brother could cost me my life! I, Khun Sa, may have lived for so many years, but I haven't lived enough yet!"
At that moment, Khun Sa sneered, and then his icy voice echoed in the spacious hall.
One sentence sent a chill down Jiang Bai's spine, and he knew things were going badly.
But he still forced himself to say, "What are you talking about? We were fine yesterday, how come you're turning your back on me today? If you don't want to be my friend, then I'll just leave!"
After saying that, he turned to leave.
He hadn't taken two steps when he was stopped by two burly soldiers.
Outside the door, Jiang Bai could already see a dense crowd of people surging towards them.
Two armed helicopters, fully loaded with ammunition, were already circling above the villa.
The menacing tanks, emitting bursts of roar, slowly drove in.
All of this weighed heavily on Jiang Bai's mind.
"Leave? Do you think you can leave? Heh heh, luckily I was prepared yesterday, otherwise, you might have already killed me, don't you think, Mr. Jiang!"
After a few cold, sarcastic remarks, Khun Sa looked at Jiang Bai with eyes full of anger.
Thinking that he had just narrowly escaped death yesterday without even realizing it, Khun Sa was furious.
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
Even if Jiang Bai was stupid, he knew that Khun Sa must have discovered something, but he still stubbornly spoke and refused to admit it. Who knew if Khun Sa was testing him?
And even if it's not a test, we can't admit it at this time.
The right thing to do is to strongly deny it, delay, and look for opportunities.
"I knew you wouldn't admit it, but it's okay. I'll let you meet someone, and then you'll know what I'm talking about!"
"Someone come here!"
Khun Sa spoke coldly, giving orders to his subordinates.
A moment later, several people came out from upstairs. Several soldiers escorted a middle-aged man downstairs. The man was covered in wounds, chained up, and had a pistol pointed at his head. He was carefully brought down, and blood was still seeping out from time to time.
His face was covered in wounds, making it almost impossible to see his features. Upon closer inspection, Jiang Bai almost cried out.
This person...
That's Cheng Tiangang!
That arrogant and domineering Tiger of Southern Xinjiang, Cheng Tiangang, who always spoke to Jiang Bai with such force! That powerful figure who intimidated several provinces in southern China!
Cheng Tiangang, who came to Taixi with Jiang Bai!
Upon seeing Cheng Tiangang, Jiang Bai gave a bitter smile. Although he didn't know how Cheng Tiangang had been captured by Kunsha, one thing was certain: his entire plan with Cheng Tiangang had failed.
Cheng Tiangang, the planner, has been arrested. What's the point of making any plans now?
