Chapter 273 0272 Wear the Thickest Armor and Take the Most Severe Blow (Part 3)

Witnessing the bloody and cruel situation abroad, Chen Jue was impressed by the strong rule of law and peace in China, and began to realize that there was no need to pay attention to morality in places like the northern part of Emerald Country.

As long as you have strength and background, you can stand firm in these chaotic places and get along very well.

However, because he came here to behead people, and he was just a hitchhiker with the truck driver who was shot, Chen Jue did not take the risk to avenge him.

Although there were only five or six soldiers at this checkpoint, a few short sword darts could solve all the problems, but doing so would only increase the risk of leaving the country.

So after watching the soldiers search for powder bricks on the truck in the dark, Chen Jue took a detour through the farmland and went into the forest again, avoiding this road checkpoint with live ammunition.

Fortunately, this Latonga town is not far from Myitkyina. The offline navigation shows that the straight-line distance between the two places is more than 50 kilometers.

It happened that he had enough energy from hitchhiking before, so Chen Jue simply carried his suitcase and entered the state of running through mountains and forests again.

When we got out of the mountains and reached the highway again, it was already past 5 o'clock.

Probably because we were close to the capital city of a state, Chen Jue found that there were more villages and towns on both sides of the road, and even in the early morning, the traffic on the road was slowly increasing.

Although Chen Jue was in good spirits after staying up all night, he was a little sleepy after running more than 500 kilometers overnight.

So he waited for a while by the road and waved to stop a small pickup truck with the word TAXI on it.

Behind the small pickup truck was a seat welded with iron fences, a bit like the three-wheeled pickup trucks popular in rural areas in the 1990s.

Since he didn't know the local Yangon language, Chen Jue took out the iFlytek translation software that he had downloaded in advance and gestured several times, and tried to communicate in English with "Hotel", and finally let the driver who was soliciting customers understand what he meant.

As for the payment method, Chen Jue also paid US dollars with a face value of 100 yuan.

The currency of the Emerald Country has been depreciating all year round. In the north, RMB, US dollars, and even small packages of flour are harder than Myanmar currency.

This is the norm for small countries in Southeast Asia. Every few years, they are harvested by the tide of the US dollar. They are grateful to God for keeping their own currencies from collapsing.

The driver's eyes lit up when he saw the green US dollar. He knew that he had met a generous foreigner this time. So he took the money and immediately drove Chen Jue to Myitkyina.

It took about 20 minutes to send Chen Jue to the door of the best local hotel.

Chen Jue thought to himself: "I don't have a passport, can I stay in a foreign hotel?"

However, considering that he was unfamiliar with the place, it was not appropriate to continue running around looking for a place to sleep. In addition, he urgently needed a better environment to rest and recover his strength, so Chen Jue simply went into the hotel boldly.

It is probably because Myitkyina is not far from border ports such as Tengchong and Baoshan, and cross-border trade is relatively developed. The customer service at the front desk can actually speak a few words of Chinese.

After communicating with Chen Jue and learning that he did not bring his passport, the shrewd front desk girl privately gestured to Chen Jue to rub her fingers.

Seeing this, Chen Jue naturally understood what the other party meant.

There is nothing in this world that money can't do!

So in addition to the two hundred US dollars for the room fee, Chen Jue took out a green bill as a tip for the other party, and even filled in a few random information registrations, and successfully opened a high-end king-size bed room.

Although it is sometimes useful to use US dollars to open the way like him, it is easy to be targeted by people in places like northern Myanmar, so to be on the safe side, Chen Jue asked the little girl to exchange a stack of Myanmar currency for emergency use.

…

When I checked into the hotel room, the sky outside was already bright.

After a long journey of more than 600 kilometers, and being covered in dust and dirt after crossing mountains and forests, Chen Jue went to wash up first.

Taking advantage of the hotel's morning buffet, Chen Jue changed into a bathrobe and went to the restaurant for a full meal.

While eating and drinking, he watched the news of the Emerald Country on the TV in the restaurant. Although he couldn't understand the chattering Yangon language, Chen Jue could still understand the battlefield conflicts shown on the TV screen.

The images in the report described that several ports in the south were attacked by the coalition forces, including an airport in Kachin State, which was also hit by rockets.

In addition, there was a local police found the body of a drug addict who died of drug abuse on the roadside.

"There are wars everywhere."

"Drugs and fraud are still rampant."

"What future can such a country have?" Chen Jue muttered in his heart while drinking hot milk.

After using WIFI to send a message to his girlfriend that he was safe, he went back to his room to catch up on sleep and recover his strength.

It is estimated that staying up all night was too energy-consuming. Chen Jue slept for a full 12 hours in one breath during the day.

When he woke up, the sky outside the hotel had completely darkened. Chen Jue opened the window and took advantage of the hotel's terrain to look at the night view of Myitkyina.

The magnificent pagoda,

Thanks to the trade with the Chinese border port, this small city with a population of more than 200,000 is brightly lit at night, and it is considered the most developed provincial capital in the north.

However, with his strong eyesight, Chen Jue still saw something wrong in this small city.

There were actually soldiers setting up checkpoints at several entrances and exits of the city, and police cars were patrolling the city. It was obvious that the situation had been turbulent recently and the entire city was under martial law.

"It's better to be a little chaotic, so we can get it resolved sooner and go back sooner while the chaos is going on."

Chen Jue narrowed his eyes and took out his phone to look at the strategy plan he had prepared in advance.

The headquarters of Shengzi Group is in a business building in the center of the city, just a few blocks away from the hotel where Chen Jue stayed.

However, considering that it is difficult to start in the downtown area, Chen Jue directly targeted the residence where Lu Zi stayed every day.

According to the investigation of the private detective of the Great Commune, Lu Zi's activities every night are located in an independent manor on the outskirts of the city and in an entertainment city called Jinhuang in the city.

The entertainment city is run by a local warlord. There are KTV, casinos, and bathing centers in it. It is considered a famous gold-selling vault in Myitkyina.

After a busy day's schedule, Lu Zi will go back to the manor to rest in the second half of the night, and spend most of the first half of the night in Jinhuang Entertainment City.

So Chen Jue thought again and again and decided to go to this Jinhuang Entertainment City to explore first, so as not to run around like a headless fly.

However, this outdoor tactical uniform is too eye-catching and not suitable for going to a place where there are all kinds of people. Chen Jue asked the front desk to help buy a set of sportswear on the market.

After getting dressed, Chen Jue went to the night market near the hotel.

Because it is the capital of a state, the local jade and mineral trade is developed. In addition, it is close to the border port of China. Local overseas Chinese can be heard communicating in Chinese everywhere in the night market.

Chen Jue walked around the night market, tasted a few bites of local food like an ordinary tourist, and then used the translation software to take a taxi to the Golden Emperor Entertainment City in the south of the city.

There are rows of luxury cars and three-wheeled motorcycles parked at the entrance of the entertainment city. Most of the people entering and leaving are young people dressed in fashionable clothes.

Of course, there are also some Chinese who come to the Emerald Country to do business.

Chen Jue looked around the parking lot at the entrance and was soon attracted by a black Escalade parked at the main entrance.

"PX688, the license plate matches! It's Luz's private car!"

"The information from the Great Commune is really powerful!" Chen Jue curled his lips, feeling that the 8 million Hong Kong dollars he spent on the land was really worth it.

If he didn't have these prepared intelligence in advance, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack for him to come to Myitkyina to look for someone.

...

Without staying at the door for long, Chen Jue slowly walked in among a group of young people entering the entertainment city.

He could hear the noisy DJ sound from a long distance.

The front half of the entertainment city is similar to the layout of a hotel lobby. The first floor is connected to the nightclub for disco, and the second floor is a 24-hour casino.

In addition, the small private rooms in the back half are places for doing business, singing K, and attracting fans.

Chen Jue was at the front desk of the entertainment city. After changing a stack of chips, he began to wander around inside.

He first slipped into the nightclub and took a glance, relying on the night vision function of his eyes to scan the disco pool and several booths. Most of them were young people, and many of them were skating openly in the booths under the influence of alcohol and loud music.

"What a lavish play!" Chen Jue underestimated him.

He did not see Lu Zi in the nightclub, so Chen Jue went up to the casino on the second floor with his chips.

The casino was also bustling with people, and the multinational businessmen who traveled across the border were gambling.

Chen Jue found a slot machine and sat down, pretending to bet with chips while observing the situation in the casino.

In addition to the public gambling area in front of him, there was also a gambling room with a VIP sign in the corner of the second floor.

There were two men in black suits standing at the door, and it was obvious that they needed to verify their capital or have an acquaintance to lead the way before they could enter.

"Not in the public area."

"It seems that they went into the VIP room." Chen Jue thought to himself.

A big businessman like Lu Zi would come to this place nine out of ten times just for the big gambling.

As for the small boxes in the second half, Chen Jue didn't need to check.

He is a head of a gang of gamblers. It is impossible for him to lower himself to come to such a place to attract fans.

So he sat in front of the slot machine for more than half an hour, winning and losing, and played all the exchanged chips. Chen Jue really waited for Lu Zi to come out.

The other party was wearing a gray striped suit, holding a cigar in his hand, and was arm in arm with a short middle-aged man dressed similarly, chatting about the gambling games that they had just played. By the way, he gave a few small chips to the security guards standing at the door as tips.

As for the two bodyguards following behind them, they were holding several chip trays in their hands, which were full of high-denomination chips.

Chen Jue, who was sitting far away in the slot machine area, was happy when he saw Lu Zi coming out, and thought to himself: "You can't run away now! Solve it as soon as possible and go back early tonight."

Unexpectedly, when Chen Jue saw the face of the middle-aged man next to Lu Zi turning around, his whole head buzzed, thinking that he was hallucinating!

I can actually see an old acquaintance in the most chaotic northern part of Emerald Country!

"Wow!"

"Zhang Chi'an?"

"Why is this Lao Liu here?" (End of this chapter)
