Chapter 1336: 919 Mr. Jiang’s Will_2
They were bare-chested, thin and frail. The oldest among them appeared to be no more than eleven or twelve years old. In a normal society, children of this age should be in middle school.
There are won in the base too, but not many. Here, won mostly handle chores like washing clothes and cooking als, while the majority of the personnel are ard militias.
Wei Yi led the two n deeper into the base, walking for about ten minutes before they arrived at what seed to be the central area of the base. A crude stone house, made of stacked rocks, ca into view.
The level of security here was noticeably heightened, with eight ard guards stationed around the stone house.
“We’re here.”
Wei Yi led the two n toward the stone house.
As they approached, the guards on duty stepped forward, glaring intimidatingly at Xu Kuan and Xing Jie, preparing to conduct a search.
“Stand down, these are the General’s honored guests.”
Wei Yi snapped coldly.
It was clear now that he wasn’t as friendly as he appeared to be on the way in.
“Deputy Officer Wei, when in Ro, do as the Romans do. Let’s follow procedure.”
Xing Jie voluntarily raised both hands.
Xu Kuan did the sa.
Half a minute later.
The search was complete.
“Gentlen, please.”
After confirming they carried no threatening weapons, Wei Yi motioned for them to proceed.
The ard personnel returned to their posts.
The three n entered the stone house.
As soon as they stepped inside, the rich aroma of at hit them. A low, elongated table was laden with dishes—seafood, ats—a feast by local standards. A clay pot simred atop a firewood stack, emitting billows of steam.
“General, Mr. Xing and Mr. Xu have arrived.”
“Haha, my old friends! At last, we et again.”
A squat man sitting on a bench stood up boldly. He was about a head shorter than Wei Yi, likely barely over 170 cm tall, but his aura was undeniable. The three-centiter-long scar next to his eye resembled a centipede curled on his face. He embraced both Xing Jie and Xu Kuan in a firm hug before letting go.
“Since we parted last ti, I thought I might never have the chance to see you again in this lifeti. It’s heaven’s blessing that we et again.”
There was no doubt.
This General Jin commanded trendous influence locally, yet he showed no airs of superiority. His display of friendliness and enthusiasm was much like Wei Yi’s behavior, if not even warr.
“General Jin, do you an to imply that we wouldn’t make it out alive to visit Myanmar again?”
Xu Kuan joked.
“Gentlen, please don’t misunderstand. What I an is that I was afraid I wouldn’t survive long enough to see this day. You both understand the situation here—every day I worry about ending up dead in the streets or abandoned in the wilderness.”
“General Jin has unparalleled strategic prowess and is backed by exceptional talents like Deputy Officer Wei. Such remarks are hard to accept as plausible,”
Xing Jie responded.
Regardless of ti or place, politeness and flattery remained essential social courtesies.
“After not seeing you two for years, it seems you’ve both changed.”
Jin quipped lightheartedly before calling out in a spirited manner, “The food and drinks are ready! Please, take a seat.”
Wei Yi was about to step out when General Jin stopped him, “Deputy Officer Wei, you shall sit with us as well.”
All four n took their seats.
As the host, General Jin raised his bowl of liquor, “The circumstances are humble—I hope you won’t mind.”
“You’re too gracious, General Jin.”
“Cheers!”
Jin tilted his head back, downing the drink in one gulp. Wiping his mouth, he broke into a wide grin, “I’m so glad to see you two again. Tonight, we must drink freely until we’re thoroughly drunk.”
“Gentlen, eat so at.”
Xing Jie and Xu Kuan didn’t hold back—there was no need for restraint with good company. They ate and drank heartily.
“Stay a while and truly enjoy yourselves this ti. Deputy Officer Wei will arrange everything properly.”
Myanmar was undoubtedly hell in many people’s eyes.
But hell.
Sotis it could be a paradise.
In a place devoid of law and order, as long as one held power and wealth, any imaginable form of indulgence could be found here.
Drugs.
Gambling.
Prostitution.
In this place, cris harshly punished in normal societies could be seen everywhere.
With enough status, one could find beauties from any country—white, black, yellow—and indulgently revel in lust to one’s heart’s content.
Even though it was a living hell.
One could beco a god in hell.
“Gentlen, rest assured—it’s all on .”
Wei Yi raised his bowl toward them, offering a toast.
“Thank you for your generosity, General Jin. For now, let’s set aside those matters. The reason for our visit this ti is to discuss an important issue with you.”
After downing a sip of liquor with Wei Yi, Xing Jie addressed the Allied Army’s top commander, one of Myanmar’s regional militant leaders.
It wouldn’t do to wait for him to bring it up first.
“An important issue? What issue?”
As a warlord presiding over his territory, soone commanding four brigades, General Jin was far from foolish. Despite knowing full well that soone wouldn’t show up empty-handed to his “Treasure Hall,” he feigned confusion and asked.
Xing Jie and Xu Kuan exchanged glances.
Being a soldier didn’t an being candid, especially amid the chaos of Myanmar’s factional warfare. Without keen observational skills, survival—let alone success—would be nearly impossible. Wei Yi promptly said, “General, I will step outside.”
Jin raised his hand, turning to face Xing Jie and Xu Kuan.
“Deputy Officer Wei is one of my closest confidants. If Jin managed to survive in these perilous cracks, much of the credit goes to Wei. You need not hold back—speak freely.”
Gratitude flashed in Wei Yi’s eyes, and he resud his seat.
“In that case, I’ll speak straightforwardly. For many years, Shenzhou has been plagued by telecom fraud originating from Myanmar, causing countless Shenzhou citizens to fall victim and suffer greatly. Our purpose this ti is to ask for your assistance, General Jin, in eradicating these harmful telecom fraud zones.”
