Chapter Seventy-Nine: Saving People in Northern Myanmar
The dilapidated bus drove for another three or four hours before we finally arrived in Bang Kang.
I thought that this Bangkang was the capital of Wa State, how to say that it is also a relatively large city, who knows that this Bangkang is no different from an ordinary town in China, a total of about a dozen streets, walking around the city is estimated to be only an hour.
The façade on the side of the street is said to belong to all the officials of the Wa State government, large and small, who rent out the façade to businessmen to open restaurants, shops and casinos, all kinds of signboards are full of Chinese characters, and some hotels and casinos are so luxurious and dazzling that people's eyes are dazzled, and they look out of place with the surrounding barren and simple dirt houses.
The people here also speak Mandarin Chinese. Dark-skinned Wa soldiers can be seen all over Bang Kang, with weapons on their shoulders to remind you that this is a war-torn place where armed conflict can break out at any time.
I thought to myself: No wonder Wei Shengjin was arrested for blackmail here, no matter how fierce you Wei Shengjin is, you can't be as fierce as someone else has an army!
At this time, it was getting late, and Ivan and I found a small hotel to live in, and we didn't know where to start.
At this time, Yifan reminded me and asked me to contact Wu Cifeng's friend Hu Fei. I just remembered, and hurriedly broadcast it according to the number sent to me by Wu Cifeng, and the person who answered the phone was a young man, speaking pure Mandarin, I said that he was a friend of Wu Cifeng, and he immediately reacted, asked our address, and said that he would come over immediately, meet and talk.
After a while, Hu Fei came over, a young man with a height of 1.7 meters, dark skin, a thin body, thick eyebrows and big eyes.
After I explained to him the purpose of our visit to Bangkang this time, he was silent for a long time before saying: "Brother Shen, Wu Cifeng told me everything about you on the phone, and repeatedly told me that I must help you if I can, but let me tell you the truth, it is impossible for you to rescue your friend, I advise you to dispel this idea!"
"Why?" I asked quietly.
"Not to mention that he continued to extort casinos and caused public outrage, just to arrest him, more than 30 Wa coalition soldiers died, and no less than 100 people were slightly injured and seriously injured, and now the casino owner hates him to the core, even the local military can't let him go! I know you're coming, and I've been looking for news about it lately, and it's said that the military is going to hand him over to the casino to appease the anger of the casino owners, and I think it's probably going to kill him!"
"Then can we get him out for a little more money?" I hurriedly asked.
"I've thought about it too! If you spend money, the casino owner will have to compensate them, the settling-in allowance for the dead soldiers, the treatment expenses for the injured soldiers, and the officials at all levels will have to pay for it, at least fifty or sixty million, and it may not be possible, they may not let go of the people after collecting the money, after all, you are now on someone else's territory! ”
"Do you know where my brother is being held now?" Hearing him say this, I knew that there was no play, and I gave up the idea of spending money to save people.
"I've got you covered! In Bangkang International Entertainment City, Bangkang's largest venue! Chen Nigong, the captain of the anti-narcotics brigade, Zhao Yanhong, the chief of the police department, and Shang Mengzhou, the head of the Bangkang Special Economic Zone, all have shares. ”
I smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Hu, since I am here, people must be saved, I also know that it is not so easy, you can help me find out where he is specifically detained in Bangkang International Entertainment City, and the situation of the guards, the others will not cause you trouble, in addition, this is 100,000 yuan for you to accept!" As I spoke, I took out the money I had prepared from my bag on the couch and handed it over.
Hu Fei glanced at me, took the money, and said, "Okay, then I won't talk nonsense, wait for my news" and walked out of the door.
I thought to myself, this is a real person!
"So give 100,000? It's too good to make money, isn't it? Ivan said to me.
"He didn't come here from China to make money, and besides, we don't have a relationship with him, so why should people take the risk to find out the news for you? , don't talk nonsense, we also have things to do now, get an off-road vehicle, the car should be in good condition, fill up the gas, and when Hu Fei's news comes, we will discuss what to do in detail" I said to Ivan.
"Okay, it looks like this time it's really exciting!" Ivan looked excited, but later I realized that this trip was more than just exciting, the two of us almost lost our lives in a foreign country this time, and became lonely ghosts.
The next morning, Ivan and I went to Bangkang International Entertainment City, which is located on the largest street in Bangkang, and if the locals didn't know, it was a 7-story building, which is considered a high-rise building in Bangkang. There are not only security guards but also soldiers with guns at the gate.
When Ivan and I entered, it was as if we had entered another world. The hall of thousands of square meters is covered with red and yellow carpets, and the giant crystal chandelier illuminates the entire hall with gold and shine, which is very different from the low house dirt road outside. Dozens of gambling tables in the hall were arranged in an orderly manner, and each table was full of people, and when you heard the accent, you knew that they were from China.
There are bars and restaurants on both sides of the hall, all drinks at the bar are free to drink, and the restaurant serves Chinese food for gamblers free of charge. The second, third, fourth, and fifth floors are all VIP boxes, and the sixth and seventh floors are the management offices.
Ivans and I walked around the lobby and found cameras everywhere, and the security guards here were all guns.
Just when we wanted to go up to the second floor, we were stopped by the security guard, and when we asked, we knew that we had to buy at least 500,000 chips to go to the VIP box.
After understanding the general situation, the two of us went to the local car rental agency to choose a good off-road vehicle, and then returned to the hotel to wait patiently for Hu Fei's news.
On the afternoon of the third day, Hu Fei came to the hotel, and he told us that Wei Shengjin was locked up in the conference room on the sixth floor. The guards are very strict, if you want to go up to the sixth floor, you can first get a VIP and then take the vertical elevator to the fifth floor first, but from the fifth floor to the sixth floor you have to go through a security check, and there are also security guards at the door of the conference room on the sixth floor. If we want to save Wei Shengjin, there is only one way to go, pretending to be a waitress delivering food, if you are lucky, you may be able to enter the conference room through layers of checks, but you have to dress as a woman.
Hu Fei also brought me a wig and a set of clothes for the waitress in the casino, so that we could discuss it ourselves. As for how to get out after saving people, it can only depend on our own ability.
After sending Hu Fei away, I carefully discussed the rescue plan with Ivan, and finally we decided that I would go into the casino alone to save people, and Ivan would drive outside to answer them. Anyway, I'm a man with infinite strength, so I don't have to use it in vain!
I use Hu Fei's method as a backup plan, after all, they have an army, and if I am trapped inside, I can create some chaos, and then disguise myself as a woman to escape!
So I tearfully shaved off my masculine leg hair that night and shaved my face cleaner than an egg!
But after I went in, I realized what it meant that the plan couldn't keep up with the change.
