Myanmar, unlike China, is relatively small, with a total land area of less than 700,000 square kilometers and a population of only 70 million. However, its geographical location is quite special, bordered by the Andaman Sea to the southwest, India and Bangladesh to the northwest, China to the northeast, and Thailand and Laos to the southeast. Its territory includes many intersecting areas of chaos, making it not only an important member of the Southeast Asia Nations Alliance but also an influential country in this circle.
The capital of Myanmar is Neibi, which, in terms of prosperity, can't compare to many first-tier cities in mainland China, but it is the best place in all of Myanmar. Due to its history as a British colony, Western influence is very strong here, and people everywhere emulate Western customs, considering them a symbol of nobility.
Although the Heigu Group is among Myanmar's top three drug-trafficking Black Gold Groups, with secret plantations scattered across unknown places like the Golden Triangle, its headquarters is located at the city center of Neibi, in a rare eighteen-story building, symbolizing the Heigu Group's considerable financial power and influence.
Tarsen, as the chairman of the entire Heigu Group, is the leader of this Black Gold Empire. At such a level, many frontline matters no longer require his direct involvement; remote control suffices. His main focus now is on how to launder himself, such as establishing good relations with the government, frequently dining with important ministers, or finding ways to gain entry into the royal palace to become a guest of the King.
In a place like Myanmar, wealth equates to power, so it's not difficult for Tarsen to achieve these. However, just as he was finally having dinner with the Minister of Finance today, a call from his eldest son disrupted his dining mood.
But Tarsen also sensed something unusual in his second son's tone and continued to smile politely at Minister Wen, saying, "Excuse me for a moment, Minister Wen."
"Please," the other replied, politely picking up a piece of steak with grace.
Tarsen rose with a smile and stepped outside the door, his expression turning cold in an instant, as he questioned into the phone, "What happened?"
"Father, I have found the culprits who killed our second brother and imprisoned our third brother in China. It's a pair of despicable lovers!" said Ta Kun.
"What? Is the information accurate?" Tarsen immediately asked. His two sons had both lost themselves in China, which was a constant worry for him. Losing a son in old age is a great sorrow in any country for any person, even though he had four sons and an illegitimate child, losing two at once pierced his heart with pain!
"It's accurate. It was Mr. Scar from China who told me. He also hates those two deeply, so he wouldn't deceive me," Ta Kun said. "I know you've been busy lately, Father, so I took it upon myself to send Luo Jihan into China, intending to kill those two! But unexpectedly, Mr. Scar from China just informed me that Luo Jihan failed! His body was even taken away by China's action department. It's truly disgraceful!"
"You are asking me for Yefimovich to send him into China to settle accounts with those two, aren't you?" Tarsen coldly asked.
With his esteemed status now, Tarsen mingled with various white-cloted daoists across the globe. However, being aware of many enemies, he spent a fortune recruiting a group of loyal and brave subordinates worldwide, with six of them being exceptional, serving as his six major bodyguards.
Luo Jihan was one of the six bodyguards, albeit the last in rank, and was sent to escort his eldest son. Now that an incident had occurred, Ta Kun was seeking Yefimovich from him.
Yefimovich, ranked fifth among the six bodyguards, was once a soldier in Russia's Siberian training camp. Yet, due to a penchant for killing, he defected from the camp and later even engaged in battles with Russian troops on the Siberian Plateau, single-handedly annihilating an Alpha Team, earning himself a fearsome reputation.
Yefimovich's exact level of prowess is known by few, but it's true that he has fought hand-to-hand with Arctic bears, leading to a nationwide Russian manhunt. Once, when Yefimovich was pursued to Myanmar, Tarsen, interested in his talents, recruited him to stay by his side under a hidden identity.
"I can give you Yefimovich, but I warn you not to have him enter China for now; otherwise, it'll be like he's walking into a trap," Tarsen's eyes flashed a stern gleam as he coldly admonished.
"Why?" Ta Kun asked in confusion.
"Firstly, your second brother failed in Binhai, which has already caused related parties to be wary of foreigners. Even if Yefimovich disguises himself, he will be discovered in Binhai and immediately exposed. Secondly, think about this: Binhai, China, is Mr. Scar's territory. He also hates those two deeply. So why doesn't he deal with those two himself and instead has you reach out from abroad? He wants to be the fox while you become the wolf sent to die!" Tarsen, with his experienced shrewdness, laughed coldly.
Though Mr. Scar could also be considered a hero, he was still quite unseasoned compared to Tarsen, who had been in the game for an extra two decades; even the most base tricks couldn't escape Tarsen's eyes.
Upon hearing this, Ta Kun was instantly enlightened and angrily declared, "Father, I understand now. That damned Mr. Scar from China is using me? I won't let him get away with it!"
"There you go again, acting on impulse. When doing business with the Chinese, you must always factor in their own schemes—Mr. Scar from China is using you, so why not use him in return? Don't forget, he is an essential partner for us in mainland China; don't easily sever this connection! Listen to me; don't act rashly for now. Observe the situation, and when there's another incident in China or those despicable lovers reappear, you can make a move then," Tarsen said indifferently.
"I understand, Father. I will listen to you!" Ta Kun said, taking a deep breath.
The father and son ended their call.
Far away in the tropical jungle, Ta Kun put down the phone and said coldly, "Jiang Feng and Situ Yan of China, I'll allow you to live a little longer for now. Of course, if that damned Mr. Scar from China takes you out first, then it's your own fate!"
...
In China, Jiangdong Province, Binhai South City Action Department Branch.
After returning with the team, Situ Yan made a brief arrangement, sharing the gains from the southern journey with her colleagues in detail, clarifying the truth behind the Fengming Company poison almond incident, and instructing her subordinates to publish the entire process online, thoroughly vindicating Fengming Company and Bai Zhiqing.
Then, she immediately gathered her people and headed directly to the Han Group to arrest the mastermind, Han Lengxuan!
At this moment, Han Lengxuan, under the deliberate arrangement of his father Han Shilong, was seated at the highest company board meeting.
He was currently serving as the assistant to the chairman in the group, a position that Han Shilong, with earnest intentions, arranged for him to learn by his side to ensure a smooth succession in the future.
Sitting in the spacious and bright meeting room, basking in the comfortable sunshine, his future seeming bright, Han Shilong exuded an air of vigor and was diligently taking notes.
However, unbeknownst to him, a crisis poised to overthrow his life was approaching!
