Chapter 176: The Southern Yunnan Crisis
Southern Yunnan, Ruili, the hometown of jade, the country's largest jade trading market.
It is one of the largest jade producing areas in China, rich in red agate, yellow dragon jade, emerald and other precious jade, which are made into various jewelry items, attracting a large number of tourists.
The streets are crowded with tourists, and it is very lively, and it is a bustling scene.
But what few people know is that in addition to being a tourist mecca, it is also the largest gold panning place in China.
The huge profits of the jade industry and the gambling stone industry have attracted countless people with dreams of making a fortune to come here to pan for gold.
Some people get rich overnight because of this, and a piece of jade can earn tens of millions, hundreds of millions of wealth.
There are also people who have lost hundreds of millions of their net worth because of this, from rich people who once wore gold and silver to beggars in ragged clothes and downcast on the streets.
The huge profit of money, the desire in the heart, makes people crazy, but also makes people lost, the huge stimulation of money, the extreme ups and downs of emotions, can really make a person's spirit abnormal.
It's like a gambler at a gambling table, after losing a red eye, he will do anything.
What's more, this is on the border, and the boundaries of legal theory sometimes become extremely blurred, which has given birth to a group of bold madmen.
These madmen also have a more technical term, warlord, mountain soldier, mercenary.
They are all people who lick blood from the knife edge, have guns in their hands, load guns and live ammunition, and kill people without blinking.
Therefore, it is extremely dangerous here, and behind the prosperity on the surface, there are countless bloody storms in the secret.
It may be fine in the city, but outside the city, in the wilderness and forests, it is really lawless.
However, the wilderness is really an unavoidable place, because in this territory, in the wilderness outside the city, there are many jade pits.
All the jade has to be produced from the pit and transported out, and at this moment, the No. 3 jade pit not far from Ruili.
The No. 3 jade mine has gone out of the border and is considered the territory of Myanmar.
It was occupied by a Burmese warlord named Saan, who had hundreds of mountain soldiers and mercenaries under his command.
Heavily armed and armed with guns, they guarded the mine.
Near the pit, simple houses made of wood are scattered around the jade pit, and groups of mercenaries armed with guns patrol back and forth.
It was already night, and in the center, in a building on stilts, under the dim light of incandescent light bulbs, a transaction involving billions of dollars was underway.
It's just that the items they trade are not jade, but hostages.
Jiang Ruoxue and Wang Ruonan took dozens of security personnel, and after a day's drive, they finally arrived here in the middle of the night and met the warlord Sain, who had detained Jiang Yun.
Saan is a middle-aged man, Burmese, tall, with a full beard and several scars at the corners of his eyes, looking fierce.
The two sat opposite each other across a table, Jiang Ruoxue was anxious and a little emotional, she didn't see Jiang Yun after she came here.
All I saw was Sarn, and hundreds of mercenaries throughout the camp, all of whom had guns, rifles, and even submachine guns in their hands.
This made Jiang Ruoxue a little stunned in her heart, but for the sake of her younger brother, even if she knew that it was the Longtan Tiger's Den, she still walked in without hesitation.
After entering, dozens of security guards were immediately controlled and detained, and they did not dare to resist, only Jiang Ruoxue and Wang Ruonan were invited to this building to meet with Sahn.
"Sarn, where is my brother? What did you guys do to him? Jiang Ruoxue asked in Dai language, as a jade merchant, it is not the first time that Jiang Ruoxue has come to a place like southern Yunnan, and naturally she is also fluent in the local language.
Saan was looking at the two beauties in front of him, his eyes were moving up and down, and he was unabashedly moving in the key parts, making Jiang Ruoxue and the others shudder.
Wang Ruonan frowned deeply, with her experience as a soldier for several years, I am afraid that there will be less luck today.
She looked at the surrounding environment quietly, there were a large number of mercenaries outside the stilted building, and there were seven people in the stilted building.
In addition to Sahn, Jiang Ruoxue and her, in each of the four corners of the room, there was a guard standing guard, all holding guns in their hands.
The four men surrounded them, and from this point of view, once a conflict broke out, it was a situation of death.
Even if she uses her skills, she can quickly solve two people at most, and the other two don't have time to do it at all, and she has to protect Jiang Ruoxue, which is even more constrained.
In addition, the firearms on their bodies have also been confiscated, which makes matters worse.
Wang Ruonan's heart suddenly fell to the bottom, and he regretted accompanying Jiang Ruoxue here, Sahn in front of him was not a good person at first glance, Wang Ruonan didn't believe it at all, after the other party took the money, he would keep his promise and let them go.
Now the only way is to hold the Saan in front of him, and then find a chance to escape, Wang Ruonan clenched his fists and secretly prepared to make a move.
If the other party really accepts the deal, it's fine, if not, then do it.
"Sarn, where is my brother? Before we came, we said okay, I'll ransom people with money, you have to let me see Xiaoyun first, right? Seeing that Sahn didn't speak, Jiang Ruoxue couldn't help but ask again.
Only then did Sarn come back to his senses, retract his presumptuous eyes, glanced at Jiang Ruoxue playfully, waved his hand, and said, "Bring people up." ”
Immediately, a guard went down and brought people up, and Jiang Yun, who was tied up with five flowers, was thrown to the ground, with his hair scattered, his nose and face were swollen, and there were blood marks on his body, and he looked like he had suffered inhuman torture.
At this time, he no longer had the same squishy appearance as he had been, and he curled up on the ground, trembling, as if he had been greatly frightened.
"Xiaoyun!" When Jiang Ruoxue saw Jiang Yun's appearance, she exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie Jiang Yun.
"Sister, woo, sister, you save me, they, they set me up, I won the money, they didn't let me go, they had to let me gamble the last one, all lost, all lost, they said they would kill me if they didn't give money."
When Jiang Yun saw Jiang Ruoxue, he couldn't hold back for a moment, and directly cried.
No one knows how he spent the past few days, he was pampered since he was a child, he was brought to this kind of place, and he was beaten by a group of mercenaries, which directly scared him out of his heart.
These people were simply brutal, he had never seen this kind of battle, Jiang Ruoxue was also worried when she heard Jiang Yun's cry.
Although this younger brother doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, he has caused her countless troubles since she was a child, but in the end it is her own brother.
Seeing her own brother being beaten like this, how could she not be angry in her heart, but in other people's territory, Jiang Ruoxue didn't dare to say anything, and reason made her only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.
Untied Jiang Yun and helped him stand up, Jiang Ruoxue looked at Sarn and said, "Sarn, how much does Xiaoyun owe you?" I'll give you the money and hope you'll keep your promise and let us go. ”
"Hehe, it's easy to say, Miss Jiang, your brother lost 3.7 billion in my casino, on the gambling table, I am willing to lose the bet, as long as you pay this money, I will naturally not embarrass you."
Sarn smiled, stood up, turned on the computer on the table, turned to Jiang Ruoxue, and motioned for him to transfer money.
