Chapter 261: Stationing Troops Without Moving, Waiting to Watch the Show

Inside a villa in downtown Bangkok.

The place here is very large, covering over twenty mu.

To own such a large villa in downtown Bangkok, where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold,

thus it can be seen,

the owner of this villa is no ordinary person.

Just as Chen Jie defeated Equator Xishi and advanced to the finals of the Ancient Thai War,

at this time,

inside this huge villa in Bangkok, an old man and a middle-aged man sat under a tree in the villa district.

They drank tea, looking at the osmanthus trees planted around the villa, feeling very calm.

This place is simply an ocean of osmanthus trees.

"True top-grade Tieguanyin, even its place of origin is not many, although I don't really like Tieguanyin."

Drinking tea, smelling the osmanthus fragrance, they didn't say a word for two days.

It seems,

both of them were thinking about their own matters.

Wei Guang took a sip of tea, his tone sounding very calm.

"Tieguanyin is good tea, with a rich taste, always complete in color, aroma, and flavor; these tea leaves are top-grade tea, not cheap!"

"It's rare for me to come to Bangkok to find you this time; give me two jin of Tieguanyin, how about letting me take it back?"

"This tea is Tieguanyin imported from China, right?"

Inside the whole villa, nearly one-third of the area was planted with osmanthus trees.

"Bai Fengcheng, you came all the way from afar to my place; if you have something to say, just say it, don't act as if nothing is wrong!"

"I know you like drinking tea; seeing you come, I specially took it out to entertain you."

It seems,

the two people's carefree expressions seem to be waiting for something to end.

This feeling seems very strange, with an indescribable feeling.

The more it is at this time, the richer the osmanthus fragrance becomes.

The two great families of Myanmar-Yunnan in Southeast Asia actually gathered in this villa in Bangkok, showing that their relationship is not shallow.

From seven o'clock tonight, the two have been sitting under the big tree like this.

"If you really like it, then this: when you leave later, I'll give them all to you, totaling just one jin."

It has to be said,

the osmanthus fragrance around gives people a feeling of refreshment and delight.

You should know,

the tea he likes to drink most is Pu'er tea, this kind of green tea, with a somewhat bitter and astringent taste.

"Speak, I don't like beating around the bush; if you have something to say, just say it."

In a bustling metropolis, being able to smell waves of pure natural osmanthus fragrance is indeed a kind of enjoyment in life.

Bai Fengcheng is still the same old self, looking like he has no airs at all.

Either take a sip of tea, or raise his head to glance at the osmanthus trees around, or take a deep breath, smelling the rich floral fragrance.

"Opening your mouth is two jin; do you think this is Chinese cabbage, available everywhere?"

"I heard that the place in China that produces abundant Tieguanyin recently suffered a flood disaster, with too much rainwater!"

Wei Guang, hearing this, suddenly frowned, smiling calmly as he said:

"Bai Fengcheng, your appetite is really big!"

If one is familiar with the various forces in all of Southeast Asia, upon seeing these two people, they would surely recognize them.

Although it is already the season when osmanthus is about to wither, in a few days it will be hard to smell the osmanthus fragrance.

Splash—!

Wei Guang poured freshly brewed tea into his own teacup, saying calmly:

"I only managed to get one jin of the most top-grade Tieguanyin here; it has a price but no market, and even with money you can't buy it."

"You actually want two jin? It has to be said, your appetite is much bigger than before!"

He lightly took a sip, shook his head, and said:

"We've known each other for more than a day or two; what kind of person you are, I understand better than anyone."

He drank the green tea in the cup, seeming somewhat unaccustomed to it.

They are precisely the previous generation Patriarch of the Wei Family in Southeast Asia, Wei Guang, and this generation Head of Family of the Bai Family, Bai Fengcheng.

Under the faint lights around, the two seemed to be enjoying life.

For anyone, this feeling has a unique flavor.

Sitting under the big tree, drinking tea, smelling the osmanthus fragrance.

But,

"Tonight is the semi-finals of the Ancient Thai War; you came to my place so late, you must have something to tell me, right?"

"But you know my character well; I love tea as my life, and I have always had the hobby of collecting tea leaves."

Bai Fengcheng smiled, saying in a deep voice:

"Then forget it; since you only have one jin, I want it but it's no fun."

"I like drinking Pu'er tea, different from your interest."

Wei Guang shook his head, smiling as he said:

"Alright, you're still the same as ever — young in years, yet deeply calculating."

"Take all the remaining Tieguanyin with you when you leave!"

"I'm not that interested in tea. Since you like it, it's all yours — who made us friends."

"Speak then. What exactly is the matter that brought you to find me tonight?"

"If you keep hemming and hawing, unable to spit out a fart after half a day, I don't have time to waste here with you."

Sigh—!

Upon hearing this, Bai Fengcheng let out a sigh.

He set down the teacup in his hand and said with a serious face:

"I don't know where to begin with this matter. During this period in the Wa State Concentration Camp, I've been rather unsettled in mind."

"So, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Ancient Thai War semi-finals, I came to Bangkok to see you."

"I knew you'd definitely be here in Bangkok — sure enough, my guess wasn't wrong."

"Actually — it's about my precious daughter's matter. Sigh, what a headache!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Guang instantly froze.

He shook his head and said:

"What matter could your daughter have? I remember your daughter — she's no easy lamp to handle!"

"Last year she brought a bunch of people and nearly turned Chiang Mai upside down."

"If Tianyuan Group hadn't stepped in at the end, who knows how big a commotion it would've become."

"That little sister has inherited your true teachings — you worrying about her, isn't that a bit excessive?"

Bai Fengcheng shook his head helplessly: "That little ancestor has already returned from abroad."

"I saw she's not young anymore, so I arranged a marriage for her."

"Guess what — when she found out, she fell out with me on the spot and ran off with a bunch of people."

"I came to Bangkok worried she'd get into trouble, and incidentally to find that person who can control her."

Wei Guang raised his head and glanced at Bai Fengcheng, frowning slightly:

"The person who can control her? You mean the Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, China Azure Dragon?"

"You came to Bangkok — is tonight's purpose also to find him?"

"The leader of a small faction — is he worth you, Bai Fengcheng, coming personally to find him?"

"This fellow — is he your prospective son-in-law?"

Bai Fengcheng gave a hehe laugh, his gaze fixed on Wei Guang's eyes, and said calmly:

"Old Master Wei, from your tone, you don't seem very friendly toward this China Azure Dragon?"

"Don't tell me you don't know he's someone who came out of the Wa State Concentration Camp."

"From your tone, if I haven't guessed wrong, you want to — finish him off in Bangkok, right?"

"You plan to make a move in Bangkok, want to start a war with the Qinglong Society?"

Wei Guang didn't beat around the bush, but nodded and said:

"Bai Fengcheng, in front of you I have nothing to hide — that's right, I do intend to make a move on him!"

"I want to finish him off, wipe out the Qinglong Society completely."

"The people of the Southeast Asia Martial Arts Alliance, as well as Tianyuan Group, the Japan Yamaguchi-gumi — they've all agreed to join forces."

"If he were just an ordinary boxer, no matter how strong his strength, we wouldn't care much."

"But the Qinglong Society he established has already touched too many interests."

"In every boxing match, he runs the outer betting, and counter-bets with all the behind-the-scenes outer bankers."

"Whether it's the Southeast Asia Martial Arts Alliance, or the Japan Yamaguchi-gumi, as well as our Wei Family, Liu Family, Tianyuan Group and so on — the losses have been heavy."

"If this person isn't removed, the whole of Southeast Asia will have no peace."

"And this fellow —!"

Bai Fengcheng smiled faintly, interrupting Wei Guang's words:

"And his ability is very strong, possessing extremely high personal charisma, right?"

"He established the Qinglong Society — all his subordinates are loyal to the death, daring to fight and struggle!"

"If he were just a boxer, no matter how much money he wins, he'd still be under the control of the various major forces."

"But now behind him is the constantly growing Qinglong Society — any force wanting to gnaw at him finds they can't bite through."

"The Qinglong Society has already unified Chiang Rai Province, becoming a force in Southeast Asia that cannot be ignored."

"So you plan to make a move in Bangkok, taking advantage of the chance to finish him off while you still can, striking preemptively?"

"From another angle, you also don't want him to fight his way into the Ancient Thai War's final battle and win the championship, then cooperate with the Thai Royal Family, right?"

Wei Guang nodded, replying in a deep voice:

"Since you already know, I have nothing more to say."

"I don't want the Qinglong Society to continue growing — otherwise it'll affect the status of our several great families."

"Although he came out of the Wa State Concentration Camp, Bai Fengcheng, your Bai Family can't suppress him."

"This person's ability is too strong — those people gathered around him, scattered, pose no threat at all."

"But when they condense together, even Tianyuan Group is very wary."

"This person's climate has already formed — if not removed early, he will inevitably become a major confidant trouble."

"So, we've decided after tonight's semi-finals end, to unite with the Japan Yamaguchi-gumi, the Southeast Asia Martial Arts Alliance and several other major forces, to level them."

Bai Fengcheng looked up at the osmanthus trees inside the villa area, not refuting Wei Guang's words.

He took a deep breath and said calmly:

"Since the Tianyuan Group rose to power, the various forces in Southeast Asia have seemingly cooperated very pleasantly on the surface."

"But have you noticed that in any business cooperation, the final profits mostly end up in the Tianyuan Group's pockets?"

"The various forces in Southeast Asia are a stagnant pool; it's time to stir things up."

"All along, I've wanted to cultivate a force capable of triggering a reshuffle among the various major forces in Southeast Asia."

"If we continue along the current trend, our several major families and the various forces will ultimately be swallowed up by the Tianyuan Group."

"I'm not exaggerating; you think it over carefully — under the banner of cooperation, how much of the industries under your Wei Family's banner still remain in your own hands?"

"The days of making money lying down are very comfortable, but for how many years can they stay comfortable?"

"When we no longer have any value, that will be the day the Tianyuan Group eliminates us."

"Actually, before this, the various forces in Southeast Asia all had their own cultivation targets; you should be very clear on this."

"The Tianyuan Group's target is Tony; the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi's cultivated target is Watanabe Ichiro; the figure your Wei Family cultivated is the little mustache in Northern Myanmar."

"And the target our Bai Family cultivated is the Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society — Chen Jie!"

Wei Guang took a deep breath, his gaze looking at Bai Fengcheng as he frowned slightly and said:

"Your Bai Family is worried you can't suppress him, so you want to marry your daughter to him?"

"Bai Fengcheng, you really know how to calculate, but be careful you don't lose your daughter and lose your troops as well!"

Bai Fengcheng laughed heartily and said in a deep voice:

"I dare to put my chips on him because I'm confident there won't be a problem."

"This fellow is unruly and untamable; no one can control him."

"If you want to pressure him with power, you're doomed to fail!"

"But he has one extremely great virtue — he values relationships and righteousness deeply!"

"No lie, my evaluation of this fellow is extremely high; my little sister, only he can keep her in check."

"The Qinglong Society's power has already begun to grow like a snowball; this fellow will give us a huge surprise."

"I appreciate him very much. Old Master Wei, on the night of the change in Chiang Rai Province, your Wei Family didn't make any move — did you already sense the crisis?"

"This fellow Chen Jie holds grudges and is ruthless; I appreciate his decisiveness!"

"I have a premonition — the sky in Southeast Asia is about to change very soon!"

"Listen to a word of advice: your Wei Family had best not lightly make an enemy of the Qinglong Society, otherwise — your Wei Family will be in great danger!"

"The Qinglong Society's development momentum cannot be stopped by anyone; even I cannot restrain their continuous growth."

"You should know, my judgment of people has always been accurate, and my premonitions have always been sharp."

Wei Guang suddenly seemed to realize something and asked calmly:

"This Chen Jie established the Qinglong Society in Southeast Asia — his purpose isn't to deal with our several major families?"

"Bai Fengcheng, tell me the truth — is his target to deal with the Tianyuan Group?"

"Could it be — he has a grudge against the Tianyuan Group?"

"Hearing you put it that way, our Wei Family really can't act rashly in Bangkok and become someone else's gun."

"If we don't finish him off tonight, given his personality, our Wei Family really might suffer a catastrophic disaster."

Bai Fengcheng laughed heartily and said calmly: "Those are your own words; I didn't say them. You make the choice yourself."

"We're old acquaintances; I came over tonight, aside from catching up with you, just to tell you this matter."

"Through the underground boxing gambling at the boxing matches, the Qinglong Society's funds are extremely abundant; although their numbers aren't many, their combat strength is not to be underestimated."

"Originally, the Qinglong Society's growth had no relation whatsoever to your Wei Family; why would you bring fire upon yourselves?"

"Isn't waiting to watch the show better?"

"Just wait; as long as the Ancient Thai War ends and Hua Xia Chen Jie wins the final championship, the days for the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi and Vincent won't be pleasant!"

"The Tianyuan Group will act soon; they won't be able to hold their breath for much longer —!"

Finished speaking,

Bai Fengcheng laughed heartily and said:

"Actually, for us at this time, staying put is the best choice."

"What our Bai Family pursues is merely a balance; the Tianyuan Group's development speed is too fast, their appetite too large!"

"We must cultivate a top-level force to check the Tianyuan Group's unscrupulousness."

Wei Guang lowered his head and fell silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Bai Fengcheng and said:

"With you at the helm, the Bai Family picked the right person!"

"If my son had half your shrewdness, I could let go!"

"I'll listen to you; stay put, cancel all actions tonight."

Bai Fengcheng stood up, walked to an osmanthus tree, leaned in and smelled the osmanthus fragrance.

He said calmly: "The game has only just begun; no need to be in such a rush to play your cards!"

"As for how this game ends in the end, until the showdown, no one knows."

"If you don't play a card, you hold the initiative; the earlier you play, the easier it is to be eliminated!"

"All this time, have you seen the Tianyuan Group make a move?"

"They're quite good at keeping their cool; even with the Valley Base lost, they've still had no action whatsoever!"

"If we want a seat at the poker table, we must have cards in hand!"
