At three in the afternoon, three white Toyota Land Cruisers were already parked outside the 89 Bar.
"Is everything packed?"
Meng Hu, Di She, and Yang Dong emerged. The younger members who were packing nodded, "Brother Hu, all the necessary items have been loaded."
"Good."
Meng Hu nodded, then turned to Zhang Beihai, Lao Hei, and Tian Ji, saying, "We're leaving the matters at home to you."
"Don't worry," Zhang Beihai and the others nodded.
Just then, a sedan slowly approached. It was Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling.
"Boss Wan, we're taking this car to Yunnan? Why not fly directly?"
Yang Dong chuckled, "Flying would be too conspicuous."
"Then let's go."
Wan Yunting directly tossed his bag to Meng Hu. Di She also retrieved Niu Qiuling's large suitcase from the sedan's trunk and loaded it into the back of a Toyota Land Cruiser. Yang Dong nodded, waved his hand, and everyone got into the cars, setting off towards Yunnan.
This time, Wan Yunting's group comprised twelve people. Meng Hu and Di She led five alert younger members.
Yang Dong, accompanied by two young men, one named Ji Jing, whose sharp gaze immediately marked him as a desperate outlaw with blood on his hands!
Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling, Meng Hu and Di She shared one car, driven by a subordinate, chatting along the way.
In the car following behind, Yang Dong asked his two subordinates, "Have you investigated that woman's identity yet?"
The young man in the passenger seat, named Kong Lian, nodded, "Yes, we have. Her name is Deng Xiaolu. She's from Yunnan. It seems she ran to Hua Du after committing some offense."
Yang Dong, who had been closing his eyes in the back, nodded. Investigating the woman Wan Yunting brought along was naturally for safety.
"Have you thoroughly investigated Wan Yunting's relationship with the warden of Hua Du Prison, Ma Zhendong?" Yang Dong asked again.
"We have."
Kong Lian continued, "Wan Yunting treated Ma Zhendong's father before. That's why he received special treatment for Wan Yunting in prison, and they even kept in touch after his release!"
Yang Dong narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile playing on his lips.
Ji Jing, who was driving, asked, "Brother Dong, are you suspicious of him?"
"Not exactly."
Yang Dong shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "It's just that since his release from prison, his lifestyle has been no different from an ordinary person. But now he's suddenly back in the underworld, and even doing this business with us. It doesn't seem like him!"
"It is indeed a bit unusual."
Kong Lian nodded and said, "Moreover, I also heard that he has many connections in the business world, especially with the richest man, Kang Hongwen, and Master Fu. If he wanted to do business, he could have soared to success."
"But he's choosing to work in the underworld and engage in our illegal business. What is he after? Money, or becoming a boss?"
Yang Dong, with his arms crossed, narrowed his eyes. He too was suspicious of Wan Yunting, always feeling something was off.
As Kong Lian said, after being released from prison, Wan Yunting's conduct in recent times meant he could have lived very well without being a boss.
Yet, he was acting so unusually, suddenly intervening in the North District, and even taking control of the West and South Districts. It was rumored he also had connections with Ling Wei of the East District, and now he was even engaging in the drug trafficking business with them.
Given Wan Yunting's current strength, he didn't need to be like this at all!
So, Yang Dong couldn't understand this point!
"Could he be working for the police, trying to map out our operations?" Kong Lian's eyes widened, speaking nervously.
These words hit home with Yang Dong, and he immediately became vigilant, "Hmm, that's a possibility. After all, he's been very close to the police!"
Kong Lian and Ji Jing, who was driving, exchanged a look. "If that's the case, Brother Dong, we can't take them to the Golden Triangle this time."
But Yang Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "If we don't cooperate with him, then our market in Hua Du, which we've painstakingly built, will be in vain!"
Because Wan Yunting had made it clear last night that if they didn't cooperate with him, he would prohibit Yang Dong's goods from appearing in Hua Du's underground market!
Yang Dong understood that with Wan Yunting currently controlling three major districts and his terrifying influence, he could destroy a force with just a single command, making him invincible!
After all, Yang Dong had worked hard to open up Hua Du's underground drug market. If he gave it up just because of suspicion towards Wan Yunting, he would surely be very unwilling.
Because Yang Dong had invested too much capital and effort into Hua Du's underground market!
"Let's investigate secretly first. If we truly discover he's an undercover agent sent by the police to map out our operations, then we'll eliminate them directly in the Golden Triangle!" Yang Dong's eyes shot out two beams of killing intent.
For now, they couldn't figure out Wan Yunting. So, they would proceed with the cooperation plan. If it was later discovered that he was with the police, killing him in the Golden Triangle would not be too late.
"Understood."
Ji Jing and Kong Lian nodded. This was the only way for now.
Yang Dong squinted his eyes, muttering to himself, "It seems we'll have to test him when we get to the Golden Triangle!"
Driving from Hua Du to Yunnan was over a thousand kilometers, requiring more than ten hours to reach. This was why Yang Dong and his group had departed in advance, as they needed to traverse the entire Yunnan, then enter the border of Myanmar, and subsequently infiltrate the Golden Triangle...
This journey alone would take two to three days.
After all, Yang Dong and his group had special identities. Traveling by plane or other means of transport would attract police attention.
They traveled intermittently, stopping to eat at highway service areas when hungry. It wasn't until eight o'clock the next morning that the three white Land Cruisers entered Kunming in Yunnan. However, they continued without stopping, heading towards Ruili City in Yunnan.
It wasn't until six in the evening that the three cars finally arrived in Ruili City. They planned to stay there for the night and depart the next morning, then cross the border into Myanmar...
"I'm exhausted."
Niu Qiuling, pushing the car door open, pouted unhappily, "If I knew it would be this tiring, I wouldn't have come."
After sitting in the car for such a long time, even Wan Yunting was tired. He said to Yang Dong, "Brother Dong, quickly arrange rooms for us to sleep. We're dead tired."
"Alright, Brother Wan, Tigers, come in."
Yang Dong, along with Kong Lian, Ji Jing, and the others, led Wan Yunting, Niu Qiuling, Meng Hu, and Di She into a private estate. "This is my tea plantation here. Rooms have been arranged. Everyone can go and rest for a while. I'll take you out for dinner later, and we can go out and have some fun tonight."
"Okay, we'll follow Brother Dong's arrangements."
Wan Yunting waved his hand. Yang Dong arranged a room for him and Niu Qiuling. Meng Hu and Di She escorted their luggage into the room and then went back to their own rooms to rest.
Everyone was tired from the car ride and just wanted to lie down and sleep.
"Whoosh..."
After seeing Yang Dong and the others off, Wan Yunting slumped onto the sofa in the living room. Seeing Niu Qiuling's eyes wide open as she surveyed the room, Wan Yunting lit a cigarette and said, "Find..."
"Shush!"
Niu Qiuling turned and shushed him, signaling Wan Yunting not to speak carelessly. She mouthed, "There are cameras and listening devices!"
Wan Yunting was taken aback. He then looked around the room. But on second thought, it was understandable, as this was Yang Dong's territory, and having such things was normal. So, he placed his legs directly on the coffee table, adopting a domineering posture, "Hurry up, come and massage my feet. I'm exhausted."
Niu Qiuling rolled her eyes at him, but still walked over and sat beside Wan Yunting, massaging his thighs with her hands and pouting playfully, "Boss Wan, I'm exhausted. Can I sleep first before massaging you?"
"No, massage me first. You can sleep after I'm comfortable." Wan Yunting reached out and pinched Niu Qiuling's cheek, saying with a wicked smile.
"Hate you..."
Niu Qiuling, grumbling inwardly, knew this scoundrel was deliberately teasing her, but she could only suppress her anger and play along...
As expected, in another room of the tea plantation, there were many computer screens displaying footage from the other rooms.
Kong Lian was staring at Wan Yunting's room, watching him and Niu Qiuling flirting on the sofa. He said to the subordinate monitoring them, "Keep an eye on them. Call me immediately if there are any issues."
"Understood."
The subordinate nodded. Kong Lian patted his shoulder and then left the monitoring room to report to Yang Dong...
