Chapter 255: Meeting Chachai

Night, New Territories port.

Lin Kun's subordinate A Qiu was preparing to receive the goods sent by Da Wei, just as usual.

It was just that something was wrong today; although A Qiu saw the lights on the fishing boat turn on, when he approached in the speedboat, he discovered the boat captain was not standing at the entrance.

Instead, he saw a stranger appear at the bow of the boat.

A Qiu immediately felt that something was wrong, and without even thinking, he turned the boat around directly.

The person on the bow discovered that A Qiu was running, so they stopped pretending; several people immediately jumped out, grabbed their gear, and opened fire on A Qiu.

Bullets whizzed past his ears, but A Qiu did not dare to stop at all; stopping meant death.

Fortunately, the speed of the speedboat was much faster than the fishing boat, and soon A Qiu escaped the firing range at the cost of taking a bullet to his shoulder.

However, A Qiu did not dare to go ashore just like that, but instead drove the speedboat to a remote, abandoned pier.

Afterward, he poured out the gasoline and burned the speedboat directly.

After finishing all this, A Qiu cautiously smashed his mobile phone and left, limping.

After finding a public telephone booth, A Qiu finally dialed Lin Kun's number.

"Hello, Kun Ge, there was a problem with the materials, I almost got caught." A Qiu did not waste words and explained the situation directly to Lin Kun.

Lin Kun frowned and said, "How are you?"

"I won't die, but I don't dare to show my face for a while." A Qiu clutched his shoulder, looking quite pained.

"I know, be careful yourself." Lin Kun was silent for a moment before saying, "I will ask the Boss for an explanation regarding this matter."

"Okay." After saying this, A Qiu hung up the phone directly.

Lin Kun had not expected that after the two sides had only been cooperating for such a short time, the other party's goods would have a slip-up; this immediately made Lin Kun feel that this guy Da Wei was very unreliable.

The next day, Lin Kun arranged to meet Da Wei, and the two met at Sha Jiao Pier.

"What happened last night?" Lin Kun started by questioning him directly.

Da Wei was also quite helpless: "Someone is targeting us, and we are investigating it."

"You think it's fine just by saying you're investigating? My subordinate was almost killed by someone." Lin Kun said with dissatisfaction: "Besides, I have always been known for my credibility in business; what should I do if I can't supply the goods? I told you before, don't distribute all the goods at once, keep thirty percent for emergencies, but you just wouldn't listen."

Da Wei had also suffered an unprovoked disaster and was full of anger.

Now, being questioned repeatedly by Lin Kun, he also appeared very unhappy: "What do you want?"

"We agreed at the beginning that if you can't supply the goods this time, you will bear the losses." Lin Kun said coldly.

Da Wei refused without even thinking; he was just an agent, so he didn't even need to think about it.

"If there are no goods, think of a way yourself; how could doing this line of work be smooth sailing?" Da Wei said coldly.

Lin Kun sneered: "If you hadn't been so ruthless in the beginning, I might have been able to transfer some goods from others to handle the emergency. Now that you've offended everyone, what can I use to think of a way?"

Da Wei did not want to continue entangling with Lin Kun on this issue, and just coldly dropped one sentence: "Think of a way yourself."

After saying that, he turned and left directly.

Watching Da Wei's departing back, Lin Kun was so angry he was beside himself.

However, after calming down, Lin Kun discovered that this was actually a very good opportunity.

An opportunity to get rid of being controlled by Da Wei.

As an old drug lord, it was impossible for him not to have channels for raw materials; he could completely do it himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Kun's heart suddenly became heated.

Now that the business was doing so well, he wouldn't need to split the money with this guy Da Wei at all; all the profits would be his own—wouldn't that be wonderful?

Thinking of this, Lin Kun took out an old-fashioned phone book that he hadn't used for a long time.

He found a random public phone and dialed it.

After it rang for a long time, a low voice came from the other end of the phone: "Who is it?"

"I am Lin Kun, does General Chachai still remember me?" Lin Kun asked in fluent Thai: "Are you still in good health?"

"So it is A Kun, long time no see." Chachai immediately laughed.

Lin Kun said indifferently: "I have returned to the scene, and I have a business deal I want to discuss with you."

"Did you find anything?"

In the villa, Da Wei asked his subordinates with a gloomy face.

The subordinate said tremblingly: "Still investigating."

"Damn it, trash." Da Wei fiercely smashed the ashtray at his side at him.

Even though the subordinate was smashed until his head was bleeding, he did not dare to move at all.

Da Wei had a reason to be angry; he had reported this matter to the Gweilo before.

Not only did he not receive any support, but he was also scolded severely.

How could Da Wei not be annoyed by this?

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go and investigate quickly?"

The underling's body shook, and then he braced himself and said: "Boss, we discovered some things, about Lin Kun."

"Hmm?" Da Wei said with some surprise.

The subordinate said tremblingly: "We discovered... this guy Lin Kun seems to have contact with other people, it seems to be... over in the Golden Triangle."

"Old fox." After hearing this news, Da Wei slapped the table and stood up: "This guy wants to shake us off and do it himself?"

"I'm afraid that's the case." The subordinate nodded and said.

Da Wei was so angry he laughed: "He's got guts. I want to see who dares to cooperate with Lin Kun. Keep a close eye on him; notify me immediately as soon as he leaves the territory."

"Yes, Boss." The subordinate said hurriedly.

On the other side, Lin Kun had already finished negotiating with General Chachai's side.

However, this kind of matter requires one to go there in person to be of any use.

Therefore, Lin Kun used a business trip as a pretext, said goodbye to his wife and children, and then left alone carrying a suitcase.

He intended to take a plane directly to Chiang Rai, on the border of Thailand.

And he checked into a rather high-end hotel.

But what he did not know was that this trip had long since been targeted by someone.

And it was not just one group of people.

"Boss, that guy Lin Kun has checked into a hotel. It seems he should have connections with people here."

A subordinate said to Da Wei with his head bowed.

"Heh, Lin Kun naturally has his own ways." Da Wei was not at all surprised by this result.

"The warlords here are very formidable; should we recruit some more men?" the subordinate said with some worry.

Da Wei sneered: "You said it yourself, they are warlords? A bunch of rabble, how can they compare to mercenaries who have been tempered in the fires of war? Rest assured, I have already hired the number one mercenary group in Asia! Fighting with me, they are courting death."

The CIA has plenty of manpower, but they still have fixed partners for doing dirty work.

After tailing Lin Kun for a night, the next morning Lin Kun got into a car and headed straight for the small border town of Meisha.

This place is considered an entrance to the Golden Triangle; after Lin Kun exchanged some money here, he set off again carrying a leather suitcase full of cash.

As the road became increasingly difficult to travel, Da Wei and his men did not dare to follow too closely, and they sent the coordinates to the Viper Mercenary Group.

The leader of the mercenary group was named Black Mamba, a taciturn, lean man.

Black Mamba asked in broken English: "What is the situation with the target?"

"A local warlord, seems to be called Chachai." Da Wei did not dawdle and told Black Mamba everything he had found out.

A ferocious smile appeared on Black Mamba's scarred face: "So it's that old piece of trash Chachai."

Da Wei said viciously: "I have a client who is fickle, so I need you all to teach him a profound lesson, but absolutely do not kill him; he is useful."

Black Mamba nodded and said: "Understood, we will act once you send the signal."

Da Wei nodded and immediately had a local guide lead the group to pursue Lin Kun.

After Lin Kun changed to a different vehicle, he soon arrived at a stretch of farmland.

Here, those beautiful yet dangerous crops were planted.

His relationship with Chachai was also something left over from his time in the Yi Group.

Back then, it was Bo Hao himself who introduced Chachai to him.

Arriving at Chachai's camp by elephant, Lin Kun saw the famous warlord of the Golden Triangle.

"How are you, my friend?" Chachai opened his arms very warmly and hugged Lin Kun.

"And you, General?" Lin Kun also greeted him in return.

Chachai sighed and said: "Business is not easy to do now; too many people are flooding into this line of work."

Lin Kun smiled and did not respond.

The two entered a room and sat down, and a woman brought over some good tea.

After drinking a cup of tea, Chachai finally got to the point: "Are you planning to return to the underworld this time?"

Lin Kun gave a bitter smile and said: "I have no other choice; my youngest daughter has a congenital heart disease, and my own body is failing too. I need money for the surgery."

"So that's it." Chachai nodded and said: "I heard you set up a 'Kitchen' in Hong Kong? What about your original supplier?"

Chachai was certain to ask these questions, and Lin Kun had long since prepared himself.

"Two shipments were sunk; the supplier was untrustworthy, and I had no other choice." Lin Kun kept his posture very low; after all, he was the one asking for help.

Chachai nodded with satisfaction; what Lin Kun said was about the same as what his own investigation had revealed, and he hadn't been trying to fool him.

One must know that although Chachai was a warlord in the Golden Triangle, it was not as if he lacked other intelligence networks.

"You are very honest, my friend." Chachai laughed: "I can help you solve this problem, but friendship is friendship..."

Lin Kun hurriedly said: "General, I understand the rules. I have brought the deposit."

Having worked with Da Wei for a period of time, Lin Kun had also saved up some family assets.

If the cooperation between the two went without a hitch, Lin Kun had intended to use this money to treat his youngest daughter's illness.

Chachai was very satisfied with Lin Kun's tact: "Very good, we have the premise for cooperation, but I need to raise the price of the raw materials by thirty percent for the first time."

Hearing Chachai's words, Lin Kun's heart immediately sank.

If the raw materials went up by thirty percent, he might not make much money on this shipment.

Chachai also knew when to stop: "Of course, this is the price for the first transaction, considered a test of your strength. The second time, we will settle according to the market price."

Hearing Chachai say this, Lin Kun's expression looked a bit better.

In any case, this cut was unavoidable, so Lin Kun gritted his teeth: "Fine, we will do as you say, General."

The business deal was concluded, and General Chachai was very happy; he warmly invited Lin Kun to eat together and prepared fine wine.

But just at this moment, a subordinate of Chachai suddenly walked over and whispered a few words to Chachai, and Chachai's expression suddenly changed: "A Kun, is someone following you?"

Lin Kun's expression changed drastically: "That can't be, there was no tail behind me when I came."

This matter could not be blamed on Lin Kun; he had no power here in the Golden Triangle.

Those who came to pick him up were all General Chachai's own men.

Chachai also understood this logic and comforted Lin Kun: "I don't mean to blame you; it's just that my men didn't do a good enough job. I just want to know who followed."

Lin Kun shook his head with a blank expression: "This... I don't know either."

Chachai sighed and said: "Then there's no help for it. Invite the guests over first."

Chachai's subordinate nodded, and soon let two jeeps in.

But when Lin Kun saw who had arrived, his expression suddenly changed: "How could it be him?"

Chachai glanced at Lin Kun and said: "You know them?"

"This guy is my former partner." Lin Kun appeared somewhat flustered.

"So that's how it is. It seems this guest is somewhat dissatisfied with our cooperation," Chachai said with a smile, his mind racing at the same time.

A guy who could track Lin Kun all the way here must have an identity that is certainly not simple.

Moreover, to dare to show himself directly while knowing his identity as a warlord—he is either a fool or possesses absolute confidence.

Lin Kun was no fool; seeing the flicker in Chachai's eyes, he knew that as long as there was sufficient profit, this warlord leader would not mind abandoning him.

In order not to become a discarded pawn, Lin Kun gritted his teeth and said to Chachai, "General, if you help me resolve this matter, my 'Kitchen' will give you a twenty percent share."

Upon hearing Lin Kun's words, Chachai's eyes immediately lit up: "Fine, but I want thirty percent."

"Five years, thirty percent," Lin Kun said through gritted teeth.

"Deal." Chachai pondered for a moment and agreed directly.

For one, this already met his expectations, and for another, Chachai had great confidence in his own strength.
