"Okay."
Having made up his mind, Wan Yunting patted the driver's seat in front of him and said to Menghu and Dishe, "I'm taking you back!"
"Heh heh..."
Dishe grinned at him stupidly, "What do we do next? Are we going to catch that guy?"
Wan Yunting rolled his eyes at him and waved his hand, "Don't worry about what we're doing. Just follow and watch, and don't say too much, understand?"
"Understood."
Menghu, who was driving, nodded, understanding Wan Yunting's meaning.
Wan Yunting said no more. Seeing Niu Qiuling, sitting beside him, staring at him with her large, beautiful eyes, he turned and smiled at her, "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't tell me you've fallen for me?"
"Pfft, as if I'd fall for a narcissist like you..."
Niu Qiuling, snapping back to reality, gave him a big glare, but felt inexplicably shy and nervous...
Following Xiong Hailu, the group briefly rested and ate something at his place. By three in the afternoon, Wan Yunting and Yang Dong's convoy set off again. This time, Xiong Hailu joined them with his three vehicles and about a dozen capable subordinates.
Xiong Hailu controlled the territory in this area, with a force of no more than a hundred men. He was considered a mid-level figure in the drug trade, nowhere near comparable to the massive drug trafficking group of Ye Jiao.
By five in the afternoon, Wan Yunting's convoy finally entered the Golden Triangle region. However, they were still some distance from Magnesium Les, the base of Peng Ka's drug trafficking group. Therefore, they would temporarily stay in Daqili City, under the jurisdiction of Myanmar in the Golden Triangle, for the night.
Daqili, a city near Thailand, had developed rapidly recently, especially its tourism industry, which had boosted the city's economic growth and population.
Despite being a major city in the Golden Triangle region, Daqili maintained a relatively good public security record. Nevertheless, scenes of drug transactions were still played out daily across the city.
Especially with the upcoming trade fair organized by Peng Ka, it had attracted the attention of drug traffickers worldwide. Thus, drug lords from all over the world were converging on the Golden Triangle.
Simultaneously, many Chinese drug lords, hidden in the shadows, emerged for this Peng Ka trade fair, stepping into the light of justice.
Like Wan Yunting, Yang Dong, and Xiong Hailu, they were all en route to Magnesium Les. They chose to stay in Daqili City for the night and continue their journey tomorrow.
The Qili Grand Hotel was the most luxurious and the only five-star hotel in Daqili City. Adjacent to it was the Qili High-Class Club, which not only had a legal casino but also a gray industry, attracting mad tourists from around the world.
Of course, most of the people who frequented such high-end hotels and clubs were drug lords or thrill-seeking tycoons!
Tonight, Wan Yunting, Yang Dong, and Xiong Hailu were also temporarily staying at the Qili Grand Hotel.
"Brother Wan, our meeting today is fate. Tonight, let your big brother arrange everything, how about it?"
The back door of the Qili Grand Hotel was specifically for welcoming big drug lords who came with their entourages. Xiong Hailu slung an arm around Wan Yunting's shoulder, laughing heartily.
"Sure." Wan Yunting smiled, taking a puff of his cigarette, "Brother, this is my first time here, I need you to show me around."
"Haha, good."
Xiong Hailu smiled, releasing his shoulder. "Then let's arrange our rooms first. We'll meet downstairs later, have a meal, and then try our luck at the casino next door. What do you say?"
"No problem, I'll follow Brother Xiong's arrangements."
Wan Yunting glanced at Yang Dong and said indifferently.
"Then it's settled."
Xiong Hailu nodded and immediately called the hotel manager over, instructing him to arrange rooms for Wan Yunting, Yang Dong, and their people.
It was evident that Xiong Hailu frequented this hotel.
Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling were naturally assigned to the same room, while Menghu, Dishe, and the others were arranged in the adjacent room. Yang Dong, Ji Jing, and Kong Lian were also in the adjacent rooms. "If you need anything, just let me know."
"Okay, thanks, Brother Dong." Wan Yunting smiled and nodded.
Yang Dong nodded and turned into his room without another word.
Niu Qiuling raised an eyebrow and returned to the room with Wan Yunting. "It seems he knows our identities too!"
"Otherwise?"
Wan Yunting tossed his bag onto the sofa and sat down with a plop, laughing, "Just look at the change in his expression, you'll know."
Niu Qiuling thought for a moment. Indeed, Yang Dong's initial enthusiasm for Wan Yunting had turned into indifference. "But I still don't understand why Ye Jiao did that!"
Wan Yunting lit a cigarette and took a puff, waving his hand. "Don't worry about that. Hurry up and find a way to contact your people and ask if they've made their move?"
"Fine, if you don't want to say."
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Niu Qiuling rolled her eyes at him, then took out her phone, switched to a local SIM card, and directly contacted Zhong Zhicheng...
At this moment, Zhong Zhicheng and his group, disguised as businessmen, were entering the Qili Grand Hotel. Upon receiving Niu Qiuling's call, he immediately said, "I've arrived at the Qili Hotel. I have something important to tell you. Let's meet on the hotel rooftop!"
Niu Qiuling raised an eyebrow, "Can't you say it on the phone?"
"No!"
Zhong Zhicheng's expression was serious. "It's about your elder brother. We must meet in person!"
"My brother?"
Niu Qiuling was startled, and a bad premonition suddenly struck her.
Zhong Zhicheng acknowledged. Niu Qiuling hung up the phone and quickly said to Wan Yunting, "Zhicheng wants us to meet on the hotel rooftop."
Wan Yunting said, "Didn't we agree to coordinate tasks over the phone?"
After all, meeting in such a place was too risky.
"He said it's an urgent mission!"
Niu Qiuling didn't mention it was about her elder brother, but her heart was filled with anxiety.
"Then let's go."
Wan Yunting stood up and went out with Niu Qiuling. He knocked on the door of the adjacent room. Menghu opened the door, and Wan Yunting directly said, "We're going out for a bit. When Xiong Hailu comes, tell him we've gone shopping."
"Understood."
Menghu nodded without asking further questions.
Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling headed straight for the elevator and went directly to the hotel rooftop.
Only hotel staff could come to this place, and no one usually came up.
Zhong Zhicheng, who had arrived earlier, had already arranged for two people to wait at the entrance leading to the rooftop for Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling. After confirming it was them, Zhong Zhicheng stepped forward and asked, "Qiuling, have you two been alright these past two days?"
"We're fine."
Looking at Zhong Zhicheng's disguised appearance with a fake beard, Niu Qiuling couldn't help but ask, "You mentioned an urgent mission just now, what is it?"
Zhong Zhicheng frowned, his expression very solemn, making Wan Yunting directly feel that something might have happened.
"Hurry up and say it."
Niu Qiuling became even more anxious.
Zhong Zhicheng sighed and said, "Your brother's undercover identity has been exposed!"
