Chapter 165: Reappearance of the Killing Machine
The corners of Hong's mouth pulled out a smile, and he pointed to Ciro beside me: "This young bodyguard of yours is not bad, a very out-of-style young man." Boy, you shouldn't have an easy way to come, right? โ
He was a little nervous, I immediately smiled lightly and spread my hands: "Okay, man, I'm here to travel, I don't want to talk about those things that are too complicated... We met at the table, then sat down for breakfast and enjoyed a simple trip together, so why bother to get to the bottom of it? I came out to enjoy the trip! Those headaches should stay in the office......... What do you think? โ
Maybe I really pretended to be free and easy, and the jวng in Hong's eyes disappeared little by little.
Tiger and Ponytail weren't with us, they should be watching from a distance, I don't know. But at least for now, I think I'm going well.
"The ship will be docked at noon, are you going to go ashore at once?" I laughed.
Hong Da stretched his waist, a little lazy: "I don't know, I'm just walking around casually and traveling lightly...... What about you? โ
"Like you, but it's my first trip to Vietnam." I laughed.
"Vietnam is not a great place to visit." Hong Da frowned.
"Hey!" I smiled deliberately: "Dude, you're starting to get to the bottom of it again!" Let's make an agreement, you don't ask me the details, I don't ask yours, how about it? That's what makes it more fun! If we know each other well, then we might be able to build a simple friendship during our travels, you say? I sighed deliberately: "If we know the details of the other party, maybe we will know the other party's business, maybe we will start talking about business, and then maybe we will talk about business cooperation...... God, that's so annoying. I just want to get rid of that and enjoy my life for a while. โ
"Good idea." Hong Da sighed.
I sensed that he was already reassured of me.
Quite simply, the more I didn't tell him the details. The less he doubted me! This is a bit complicated, and it is difficult to describe it accurately in words.
"What about you? It doesn't seem like you're coming to Vietnam for the first time. Maybe we'll have to say goodbye when we go ashore in a moment. I smiled.
"Not so fast." Hong laughed: "I came to Vietnam to do some things, but I will play for a few days first." By the way, where is your destination? โ
I thought about it, according to the information! I know that Hongda's destination is Saigon! But if I just say that I will also go to Saigon. I was worried that this guy would be suspicious again, so I smiled: "Hanoi." โ
"There's nothing fun in Hanoi." The fat man smiled.
"Go and see Ho Chi Minh's remains." I deliberately laughed, "I'm a believer. โ
"Hah!" The fat man smiled exaggeratedly.
Then we talked about the weather and some interesting topics...... It's actually very simple, men together. What else can be talked about?
Woman!
Yes, the topic of women. It can always make two strange men quickly close the distance.
And that's where I'm almost an expert.
The stripper next to her was a little embarrassed, and even though she had come out to buy it, she was still a little uncomfortable with us two men openly talking about these revealing topics.
I deliberately glanced at her, and then stared at Hongda: "Hey, man. Are you going to let this beauty follow us all the time? โ
Hong laughed: "If it weren't for the addiction to gambling with you last night, I would be in bed by now." But then he smiled and whispered a few words to the beauty, and the stripper's eyes suddenly turned on her face, and the impatient expression on her face was swept away! Then the fat man took out a stack of dollars from his pocket and threw it to her without looking.
The stripper hesitated and hurried away.
I laughed, "Two thousand dollars...... Dude, you're a little too generous, I can testify that you didn't even touch her last night. โ
"Nope. It's just a deposit. Hong Da said lightly: "This woman is very interesting, so I asked her to accompany me ashore, just find a woman to accompany me on a trip for a thousand dollars a day, this price is not expensive." โ
I sighed: "For such a woman, you only need to pay 2,000 yuan to make her strip naked and lie on your bed." A thousand dollars a day........." I whistled.
"Happy! My brother! Hong Da laughed: "I'm interested in her, I want to fall in love with her!" But last night because of you, I wasted a night! I know a woman like her is only worth 2,000 yuan a night, but I don't want to leave the ship with regrets. I think it's worth spending some money to make yourself happy and have no regrets. โ
"But there are a lot of beautiful women in Vietnam."
"It's okay, I can think about 3P then." Hong laughed uncontrollably.
Honestly, I'm really starting to like this guy.
He was very lewd and even a little lewd. But he did this kind of thing that should have been under the table, and did it blatantly...... Such a person is really a wonderful guy.
After a while, Hongda made a suggestion that I couldn't refuse.
"After we dock at noon, we can rent a yacht, and then we can drive the yacht around the sea for an afternoon, and then we will come ashore in the evening, what do you think?" Hong laughed and invited me, but then he also revealed the real reason for inviting me: "We can still gamble on the yacht, you are the weirdest card player I have ever seen." โ
"Yes." I didn't hesitate at all.
What is it called? Personal bodyguards? Or a close assassination?
I'm a little dazed myself.
The Minh Hue Princess was anchored in Ha Long Bay, a port in northwestern North Vietnam.
This is a popular port in Vietnam, but unfortunately, this is a shallow water port, and large luxury cruise ships like the Minh Hue Princess are not allowed to enter the port, so they can only anchor in the sea not far from the coastline.
Vietnamese customs officers boarded the boat, and then tourists began to line up to disembark, and small barges approached to carry tourists ashore.
I saw Hongda make two phone calls, and then found the waiter on the boat and helped us arrange a private yacht.
When leaving customs. I saw Ponytail and Tiger go onto the barge with the horde of tourists, and I pretended not to know them. Ciro followed me and acted as my attendant.
Vietnamese customs officers carefully checked each tourist's documents and passes, but it is clear that the power of money is huge in this place. We entered the VIP tunnel and enjoyed the treatment of skipping the line. Even the customs staff didn't have a good heart, and they checked our luggage carefully and let us go.
Of course, I paid an extra two hundred dollars for this.
A white yacht docked next to a luxury cruise ship. A door opened in the bilge of the cruise ship, and from here we crossed the board to the yacht.
The staff on the yacht was obviously very experienced. He actually said to us in Chinese: "Welcome to Vietnam." โ
The yacht is huge...... In other words, it is not a real "yacht" at all, but really just a small ship.
I even suspect that it was converted from a regular ferry boat.
Luckily, though. There's the sea breeze, there's the sun, there's a wide deck. All this is enough.
Hongda never doubted me. And when I got on the boat, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The composition of the crew on this yacht is simple. I think the danger is far away.
There were only me, Ciro, Hong Da, his henchman, and the stripper on the boat. Finally, there is the crew of the yacht (who is responsible for driving the boat).
I quietly checked the yacht staff's papers, and I pretended to talk to him to confirm that he was just an employee of a seaside tour company that rented such converted yachts for the use of guests who came ashore.
There is nothing suspicious about everything. I think I might be able to rest assured for the time being......
The scenery of Chalong Bay is still very beautiful...... And what struck me fresh was that there were a lot of fishermen around.
These local fishermen. It seems to have been fully mobilized by the developed tourism industry. They chase yachts like ours in their own small fishing boats, as well as some small motorboats, and they will approach the boats and sell local fruits, food, drinks, and even alcohol to tourists.
To my surprise, the prices here are unbelievably cheap!
And even stranger...... The most circulating hard currency here...... It's actually RMB!!
Vietnam's national currency is the Vietnamese dong, and the exchange rate of the renminbi is about 1,300 VND, which is exchanged for ...... One dollar!
Along the way, I ate countless tropical fruits bought from fishermen, and by the evening, Hong Da and I had two rounds of cards.
At this time, another fisherman approached in a fishing boat and sold seafood to us.
This experience gave me a thorough understanding of the price level in Vietnam!
It was a small motorboat, and there were two fishermen on board, both of whom were a little bit of Chinese, of course, only to negotiate the price. Their boats were filled with pots and pokes of all kinds of fish, shrimp, shellfish, snails, lobsters, crabs...... And so on and so forth.
I pretended to be interested in haggling with each other, while watching the two fishermen carefully and making sure they were not in danger.
I pretended to ask about the price of everything, and it was ridiculously low, and finally I smiled and said, "I want all of your boatloads, how much is it?" โ
The two fishermen looked surprised, glanced at each other, and both smiled a little slyly, and then they made a gesture very simply: "Eight hundred, RMB!" โ
I shook my head and stretched out five fingers: "Five hundred!" โ
To my surprise, they immediately agreed! They agreed so quickly that I realized that I was asking too high! I was "slaughtered".
The fishermen were so happy that they didn't even want the buckets and pots for the seafood! They moved their things to our boat, and then, as if I was afraid that I would regret it, I drove away quickly in the motorboat.
I looked at the whole boatload of seafood that I bought back for 500 yuan......... It's really emotional.
The crew member smiled, and he looked at us: "I have a kitchen on my ship, I can cook a seafood meal for you, of course, this needs to be charged, the service charge is fifty yuan." โ
Hong Da patted me and smiled, "What's wrong?" Strange to you? Tell you that the monthly income of a family of three in Yonan is less than 300 yuan. The offer you just made is already a windfall for them. โ
Seafood Feast...... It's really a big meal! Unfortunately, there is no vinegar in Vietnam, and when I asked the crew if there was vinegar, he even asked me what I wanted vinegar for, and I replied that vinegar was sour, and he suggested that I use lemon because it was ...... Lemons are also sour.
"My dear brother, I think we can go to Hanoi together tomorrow, but after that, we will be separated." After playing together for an afternoon, Hong Da seemed to have a closer relationship with me, and there was a little cunning in his eyes: "Now I really think you are a good person......... Why don't we introduce ourselves to each other? Although you and I don't want to talk about business while traveling, sometimes, when there is an opportunity for cooperation, don't let it go! โ
I smiled, and was thinking about how to answer, when the crew came over with a lobster, and with a smile, he put the plate away, facing a table of shrimp, crabs, shellfish, and snails...... I was smiling when I heard a strange sound coming from the crew's throat!
When I looked up, I saw that his smiling face suddenly stiffened! Then his face quickly turned black, and at the same time, his face was full of pain, and his hands grabbed his throat, and finally he fell straight down, foaming at the mouth along the corners of his mouth!!
My first reaction was to jump up and shout, "Poisonous!" What you eat is poisonous!! โ
At this moment, Hong Da's face also changed, he took a step back almost like a condition anti-shรจ, and the bodyguard behind him immediately rushed up and stopped Hong Da with his body, and at the same time, he even took out a gun! And then the muzzle was pointed at me!
"Don't move!" Ciro also shouted nervously on the side, and then he actually pulled out a pistol from his back and waist, and aimed the muzzle at Hong Da!
"Don't move anyone!" I tried to calm down and try my best to make my tone sincere: "Someone poisoned!" Not me! I don't think it's you, right? โ
