Chapter 280 Good Friends
Jiang Bai was unaware of Khun Sa's thoughts.
Even if they knew, they would probably scoff at it.
Because he simply wouldn't give Khun Sa a chance to talk to him.
He came with Cheng Tiangang to rid the people of this scourge.
They've come to carry out a decapitation strike and take Khun Sa's head!
Still dreaming of getting rid of the golden hen in your hand?
That's utterly delusional!
Jiang Bai, of course, was unaware of all this; in fact, he was currently sleeping with a tired-looking Dilina in his arms.
Looking at the exhausted woman in his arms, Jiang Bai felt a great sense of accomplishment, both physically and mentally.
In his view, the purpose of a man's life is to constantly conquer.
Conquer any man who dares to challenge him.
Conquer all beautiful women.
Dilina was clearly a beautiful woman who could satisfy a man's desire to conquer, and Jiang Bai was no exception.
After a journey of more than three hours and several rounds of lovemaking, Jiang Bai finally fell into a deep sleep with Dilina in his arms.
The next day, as the morning sunlight streamed in, Jiang Bai slowly opened his eyes. Dilina, who was standing in front of him, had already woken up, with a trace of tears in the corner of her eyes. However, when she saw Jiang Bai wake up, she quickly wiped them away, as if she had never been sad at all.
Are you very sad? Or unwilling?
Jiang Bai's voice came from behind Dilina.
At the same time, the sound of Jiang Bai rustling as he dressed could be heard.
One sentence sent a jolt through Dilina, and her face turned deathly pale. She quickly turned to look at Jiang Bai in front of her and said with a look of fear, "No...no, how could I have such a thought? It is my honor to be able to follow Mr. Jiang."
They were speaking Mandarin.
Because Dilina has Chinese ancestry among her four nationalities.
"That's a bit fake. What honor or not? Although you gave it to me by Khun Sa, I don't believe you were really willing to accept it."
Jiang Bai scoffed at Dilina's answer, but with a wry smile on his face, he said this.
In fact, Jiang Bai never thought that any woman, especially a very beautiful woman, would feel honored to give her virginity to a strange man.
"I..."
Dilina's expression changed several times upon hearing this. She tried to open her mouth to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she found that she couldn't say anything at all.
It wasn't because Jiang Bai had grabbed her by the throat or anything, but because she really didn't know what to say to face Jiang Bai's questioning.
So she had no choice but to remain silent.
"I am good friends with General Khun Sa. I don't know what your relationship with him was before. If you are willing, you can tell me. If I can help you, I will. If I can't help you… well, I'm sorry."
After glancing at Dilina, Jiang Bai consciously categorized Khun Sa as a "good friend." Of course, this was said to both Dilina and Khun Sa.
Regardless of the reason, Jiang Bai believed that what he said today would definitely reach Khun Sa's ears verbatim, leaving him no choice but to speak carelessly.
It was precisely because of Dilina's presence that Jiang Bai didn't contact Cheng Tiangang last night. He only secretly sent Cheng Tiangang a text message while Dilina was asleep, explaining the situation here and telling him to be extra careful.
However, Cheng Tiangang did not reply, and Jiang Bai did not press further.
"This… I… General Khun Sa has been very good to me."
Clearly, Jiang Bai's words about being a good friend intimidated Dilina, preventing her from speaking recklessly.
Dilina, who had been prepared to become Khun Sa's plaything, was suddenly taken away from the prison yesterday. She thought she was going to see Khun Sa.
She was surprised to see Jiang Bai instead.
Jiang Bai still said that, leaving Dilina no room for wild thoughts.
Although she didn't understand why, since Jiang Bai was Khun Sa's good friend, Khun Sa had instructed her to monitor Jiang Bai's every move.
Little did she know that these "good friends" had never even met.
Even Jiang Bai, this "good friend," came here this time only to kill the other one.
"I'm giving you one last chance. You either speak or you never speak again... Think it through."
Jiang Bai spoke casually as he dressed, without even turning his head.
The opportunity has been given; whether or not Dilina speaks up is up to her.
"This… I, my father, my mother, and my two younger brothers have been arrested."
In the end, Dilina couldn't help but speak up, and immediately regretted it, wondering why she had blurted it out so inexplicably.
Perhaps it was because the man in front of her didn't seem too fierce, or perhaps it was because he was her first man, which made her feel a natural closeness and dependence, or perhaps it was some other reason. In any case, Dilina herself couldn't say for sure.
"Arrested? Who arrested him, Khun Sa?"
Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Dilina.
Although he had already anticipated that his question might lead to a horrific and melodramatic story, Jiang Bai still couldn't help but ask.
Faced with a beautiful woman who had given him her virginity, Jiang Bai naturally wanted to know more about her.
He had an even more natural urge to possess her.
Although Jiang Bai didn't actually have much affection for her, since they had just met and hadn't even communicated before going straight to bed.
To say there are any feelings involved would be absurd.
His question stemmed entirely from a sense of responsibility and a possessive mentality.
Dilina gave Jiang Bai a general overview of her family situation.
He revealed that Khun Sa had taken a liking to him and then used every means to bring down his father, who is now imprisoned in a military prison. He also confessed that Khun Sa had coerced him into coming to accompany Jiang Bai and even monitoring him.
After saying that, she couldn't help but burst into tears, looking so pitiful.
Jiang Bai rubbed his temples. He had only asked a simple question, but he hadn't expected Dilina to explain everything so clearly.
Fortunately, Jiang Bai was only Khun Sa's nominal "good friend," and he had some idea of Khun Sa's purpose in sending Dilina. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would be furious and calling Khun Sa right now.
They could either simply turn around and leave, or use this incident as an excuse to create trouble and negotiate later.
That woman in front of me is really in trouble.
After offering a few words of comfort, Jiang Bai said, "Don't cry. There's nothing I can do about this right now. Stay by my side, and I can at least guarantee your safety. As for your parents... I'll talk to Khun Sa if I have the chance later. I believe he'll give me face."
Chapter 281 Thoughts
Even so, Jiang Bai was only saying this to comfort Dilina.
In fact, after learning the details, especially after Khun Sa took a liking to Dilina and used every means to get his hands on this rich young lady, Jiang Bai knew that this matter would not be easy to handle.
Khun Sa went to great lengths to get rid of a minister and seize his daughter.
Although this is in the west, the difficulty of doing so is extraordinary.
The price Khun Sa paid is unimaginable.
They paid such a high price, and without even touching a finger, they were sent to Jiang Bai's bed. If you say it was just to monitor him, Jiang Bai would never believe it!
There must be a deeper reason behind this.
Or perhaps Khun Sa had some other request.
This request, or rather, this condition, is definitely not as simple as it seems.
It's not as simple as Jiang Bai opening his mouth and asking Khun Sa to give him face.
However, Jiang Bai couldn't say this to Dilina outright.
However, Dilina obviously had no idea about any of this. Upon hearing Jiang Bai's words, she immediately stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and looked at Jiang Bai with an innocent expression, asking, "Really? Are you telling the truth?"
"certainly!"
Jiang Bai naturally couldn't deny it. He had just promised to do it, and it would be too embarrassing to say he couldn't do it now.
Jiang Bai would never do something that would contradict himself.
"If that's the case, then thank you so much. I promise that as long as you can save my family, I will follow you from now on. I will do whatever you ask. I will... I will become your personal slave."
Upon hearing Jiang Bai's affirmative answer, Dilina immediately stood up, grabbed Jiang Bai's arm, and said excitedly.
Jiang Bai is now his only hope, like a ray of light in the darkness, a straw to grasp after falling into the water, a hope that can save his life!
She wanted to thank Jiang Bai, to make a promise to him, and to get his wholehearted help so that she could grasp this lifeline.
But after saying it, he was shocked to find that he had nothing to repay Jiang Bai with, which is why he said something about a private slave.
After she finished speaking, her face flushed slightly.
Then his expression darkened.
Because she was shocked to discover that her only asset was actually gone.
Even if Jiang Bai refuses to help her, she has no way to resist whatever Jiang Bai wants to do to her.
Even if Jiang Bai does nothing, she is destined to be Jiang Bai's slave and cannot escape.
Unless Khun Sa turns against Jiang Bai one day.
However, Dilina didn't think the possibility was high.
Her expression darkened instantly.
"Hmm...you mean, your father is the Foreign Minister of the West?"
Suddenly, Jiang Bai seemed to recall hearing this word from Dilina's words earlier, and some thoughts began to form in his mind.
"Yes, he is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but my father is the leader of a small party. The ruling party didn't get enough votes, so they brought in some people to form a coalition government. That's why my father was elected as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He's not a close confidant of the Prime Minister, otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation!"
"They betrayed my father in an attempt to ease tensions with the military!"
"But they had no idea that the person they were compromising with wasn't some military faction, but Khun Sa! The biggest anti-government armed leader in all of Western Thailand! They are a bunch of utter scoundrels!"
Dilina clenched her fists angrily and growled.
Compared to Khun Sa, she hated even more those who betrayed her father.
In her view, those people were even more shameless and despicable! They would do anything for profit and were completely unworthy of forming a coalition government!
Jiang Bai remained silent, offering no opinion, for politics, at all times and in all places, is a dirty thing.
This is especially true in chaotic small countries like the West.
Let alone ordinary people, even someone like Dilina's father, who seems like a giant to most people, could become an insignificant victim at any time.
Jiang Bai didn't want to comment too much on this matter.
Because that's irrelevant.
No matter what he says, it's impossible to change the political situation in Taixi; his power... hasn't reached that level yet.
Let alone him, neither Cheng Tiangang, Li Qingdi, nor Zhao Wuji have the ability to interfere in the politics of a country.
"Let's not talk about these issues anymore; it's pointless now. I think our most important task should be finding a way to rescue your family, not figuring out who betrayed him!"
"We're all on the same side, so I'm not afraid to be honest. Now that I know who it is, I don't have the ability, and I certainly can't retaliate against them."
Jiang Bai said this.
Dilina could only nod; her actions were merely born of grief and indignation, and she had no other intentions.
Being able to rescue her family was already the greatest fortune; what else could she possibly ask for?
After calming himself down, Jiang Bai suggested that Dilina take him out for some fun. He was unfamiliar with the area in Taixi and didn't know the way to many places he wanted to go.
Few locals speak foreign languages well, so they can only communicate through gestures, which is quite difficult. Having a pretty female tour guide with you makes things much easier.
Dilina naturally wouldn't refuse this request. In fact, before Khunsa sent her here, he had already instructed her to try her best to meet any requests Jiang Bai made.
Not only her, but also Surya and the others received the same explanation.
Suria had mentioned this to Jiang Bai before, and even yesterday, when Jiang Bai gave her a look that seemed to have other intentions, Suria didn't dare to object directly, but instead pushed Dilina forward.
Even if Jiang Bai knocked on the door right now and made Suria next door strip naked and crawl over, she would still do it!
After tidying up, Jiang Bai led Dilina out. As soon as they stepped outside, they found Su Liya standing at the door with several people, unsure whether they were guarding or monitoring them.
There were just a few strong men standing there with Suria, who was wearing a tight leather jacket, looking around warily.
Jiang Bai noticed that the men's hands never left their waists, clearly indicating that they were hiding weapons there.
As for whether it was intended to be used against him, Jiang Bai had no idea.
However, he knew that at least for now, these guys wouldn't be targeting him.
"Mr. Jiang, are you going out?"
When Suria saw Jiang Bai and Dilina come out, she first led her group to bow and greet Jiang Bai, and then said this.
"Well, I'm here for tourism. I can't just stay cooped up in the hotel all day, can I? I've heard that there are a lot of fun places in Ayutthaya and Tasik, so I came here specifically to visit. Although Miss Dilina is really attractive, I think we should still go out and explore..."
"Of course! I'll have someone prepare it immediately." Surya smiled professionally and quickly replied.
As he accompanied Jiang Bai downstairs, he made a phone call to instruct the people waiting downstairs to do certain things.
Chapter 282 Dilina's Suitors
When Jiang Bai arrived downstairs, the vehicles were already prepared: two military SUVs and a Mercedes sedan, a total of three vehicles.
The lineup wasn't exactly star-studded, but it was still quite eye-catching in this run-down place called Taixi.
Especially the strong, muscular men who boarded the two vehicles with Surya—anyone who wasn't stupid could tell at a glance that they were elite soldiers who had been through thick and thin on the battlefield.
It's really difficult to avoid attracting attention.
After leaving the hotel, we headed straight for the Grand Palace, the most famous tourist attraction in Western Thailand.
To be honest, Jiang Bai thought it was just so-so, there was really nothing to see. Apart from the surging crowds and some dilapidated houses, it was not even in the same league as the Forbidden City.
It is precisely because of this small country with a small population that it is considered a treasure.
Jiang Bai, thinking that since he was already there, he might as well take a look around, followed Su Liya and the others to the place. He spent the morning there, explored the area, and then left.
Over the next two days, Jiang Bai visited the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Temple of Arun, Temple of the Reclining Buddha, National Museum, Four-Faced Buddha, Teak Palace, Marble Temple, and Sri Mariamman Temple, among other famous historical sites.
After sampling some local delicacies and watching a unique ladyboy show, my enthusiasm waned somewhat.
If it weren't for Dilina's constant care and her extremely attentive service to Jiang Bai these past few days, almost making Jiang Bai feel like a monarch who would never attend court again, he might have already stormed off.
Because Khun Sa did not show up at all during this time, and even the Chai Ba who Jiang Bai had expected did not appear, only Surya led him on the tour.
Do they really think Jiang Bai is here as a tourist?
There's been no news from Cheng Tiangang lately either. After Jiang Bai sent the text message that day, Cheng Tiangang replied with "I'll be careful," and then there was no further contact.
Jiang Bai felt as if everyone had forgotten about him after he came to Taixi, and his presence was extremely low, which made Jiang Bai very uncomfortable.
Out of boredom, on the third night after arriving in Taixi, Jiang Bai took Dilina out of the room and went for a stroll in the night market.
They deliberately only called out Surya's name.
At first, Surya disagreed, saying that Jiang Bai was Khun Sa's friend, and since General Khun Sa had entrusted her with the responsibility of entertaining him, she had an obligation to take care of Jiang Bai's safety.
She also said that the West was chaotic, seemingly peaceful, but the social order was not very good, and that if Jiang Bai went out with her and something happened, she wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.
Anyway, after saying a lot of things, the general idea was to tell Jiang Bai that she could go out, but she had to bring the large group of professional soldiers with her.
This left Jiang Bai speechless. He couldn't hold back and took action. In just a few dozen seconds, he knocked down the group of professional soldiers, who were said to be the most elite special forces under Khun Sa, brought out by Suriya.
This finally convinced Surya to agree to the matter, much to his surprise.
She was shocked to discover that her group of people had been nothing more than decorations following Jiang Bai around these past few days. He didn't need their protection at all, yet they were the ones who were so nervous.
As for whether or not he'd be exposed, Jiang Bai wasn't worried. With Khun Sa's abilities, aside from what women he slept with and what he ate, he probably already knew everything about him.
This definitely includes one's own skills.
Since they already know, what's the point of hiding it?
Led by Suria, Jiang Bai and Dilina went to a famous local night market street to stroll around and have a bite to eat.
Actually, according to Jiang Bai's wishes, Su Liya was unwilling to bring her along.
Unfortunately... Dilina, that young lady who is often away from home, is only slightly more familiar with Guman City than Jiang Bai, and her knowledge is limited to some luxury shopping malls and high-end business districts.
I've never actually been to such a down-to-earth place.
Therefore, Jiang Bai had no choice but to bring Su Liya along.
The three of them strolled down the street, attracting countless stares, especially Dilina, who was much more eye-catching than Suria.
Her mixed heritage from four countries has given her popularity both in China and abroad, and in both the black and white worlds. Not only locals, but also many tourists have taken notice of Dilina.
Envious glances fell on Jiang Bai, giving him a small sense of vanity as he held Dilina in his arms.
After strolling around for more than an hour and buying a lot of folk handicrafts along the way, Jiang Bai and his two companions found a night market to sit down and have something to eat.
But just as they sat down and before they even had a chance to eat, a surprised voice came from not far behind Jiang Bai and the others.
It was a male voice: "Dilina! How could it be you? You've been released?"
They spoke the local language. After two or three days, Jiang Bai, who had a photographic memory, had become fluent in Thai. Although he didn't speak it fluently, he could understand the meaning.
Dilina and Suria expressed their feelings about this repeatedly.
Turning their heads at the sound, they saw a young man in his twenties standing not far behind them, staring at Dilina in astonishment.
He was accompanied by seven or eight people, who, judging from their clothes, should all be from wealthy families.
This guy's outfit is nice, but his looks... well, let's just say they're not exactly flattering.
The local Tai people are all dark-skinned and have an indescribably strange appearance. This guy is a typical native, so his appearance is naturally hard to look at.
Jiang Bai never thought he was particularly handsome, but the moment this guy stood there, Jiang Bai's confidence skyrocketed.
"Talon?" Dilina looked at the other person in surprise and asked somewhat uncertainly.
It's clear that she doesn't seem to know this person named Talon very well.
The two of them are probably only at the acquaintance stage, of course... this is only true for Dilina.
Looking at Talon's appearance, he doesn't seem unfamiliar at all.
"It really is you! Haha, you're out? That's great! I heard about the trouble your family had and I was really worried. I asked my father to inquire and help, but unfortunately we couldn't find you."
Talon laughed heartily and said excitedly.
As he spoke, he moved forward, seemingly wanting to give Dilina a hug, but Dilina cleverly stepped back, avoiding his embrace.
This caused Talon a moment of embarrassment.
"When our family had that incident, it caused such a big commotion, did you really not know where we were being held?"
Dilina didn't believe Talon's words. She wasn't stupid; she was a typical elite with a quick mind. When her family had a problem before, it caused quite a stir.
His father wasn't just an ordinary citizen; he was a party leader and the foreign minister of the coalition government. It was a huge deal that he was imprisoned!
How could there be absolutely no news?
This kind of thing can't be hidden at all, okay?
Chapter 283 Threat
One sentence made Talon give an awkward laugh.
However, this kid was quite something; he reacted quickly and had a thick skin. He glanced at Dilina and said with a smile, "Let's not talk about this. We haven't seen each other in a long time. How about we have a meal together?"
"No."
Dilina decisively rejected him.
However, Talon on this side did not give up, his eyes constantly darting around, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Seeing that Dilina refused, he didn't press the matter, said a few more words, and then left with a group of friends.
Just as she took two steps, Talon suddenly spoke up: "Dilina, is your father still locked up in a military prison?"
"yes."
Dilina's expression changed several times in an instant after she subconsciously replied, realizing that she might have said something wrong.
Sure enough, Talon grinned triumphantly, looking at Dilina with narrowed eyes and saying, "Your father is still in prison. How did you get out? His matter isn't resolved yet. You didn't escape, did you?"
Then, as if realizing something, he quickly added, "No, that place is heavily guarded. You definitely couldn't have gotten out on your own. Did your father bribe the guards to let you out?"
Although it was a question, the tone was already assertive.
Dilina opened her mouth but didn't say anything, because she really didn't know what to say.
She didn't get out through official channels; to be precise, Khun Sa used his connections to get her out.
Strictly speaking, she should still be in a military prison, incarcerated.
But she couldn't say those words.
Khun Sa wielded considerable power within the government, but this power was all behind the scenes. In the public eye, Khun Sa was practically a rat in the street, hated by everyone.
As the leader of the largest anti-government army, he was the number one person on the government's purge list, and anyone associated with him would be arrested without conditions.
Of course, these are mostly just words on paper; if they were actually asked to deal with Khun Sa, very few would be willing to actually take action.
Leaving aside those parasites who received double salaries and ate hundreds of thousands of pearls from Khun Sa every year, even at the government level, due to various different interests, there were really not many people willing to confront Khun Sa, this great warlord.
Otherwise, Khun Sa wouldn't have dared to come to Guman, and naturally he wouldn't have seen Dilina, and the subsequent events wouldn't have happened.
However, these are just methods used behind the scenes and should never be brought into the open.
There are some things you can do, but you can't say.
Just like what happened to Dilina this time.
Dilina remained silent, which only strengthened Talon's conviction.
Corruption in the West has reached a point that the people deeply resent. In any place, whether it is the government or the military, money can buy everything.
Although Dilina's family are serious criminals, it wouldn't be difficult to release an insignificant Dilina if you had the money.
At this thought, Talon's eyes lit up.
He felt as if he had grabbed Dilina's braid.
"So you weren't released, then you bribed the guards to escape? I think... as the son of the police chief of Guman, I have an obligation to call the police and have you arrested."
Talon shook his phone, moved closer to Dilina, and threatened her in a low voice.
A strong desire blazed in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour Dilina alive.
Instead of surprising her companions, her words elicited knowing smiles as they looked Dilina up and down.
They had already realized Talon's intentions and were excited about it, because according to Talon's past behavior, if she succeeded, they would also be able to benefit from it once she got tired of Dilina.
This is none other than Miss Dilina, the most beautiful woman in Guman City!
Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
"What do you want to do!"
Dilina also noticed the strange look in Talon's eyes and said in a panic, already hiding behind Jiang Bai.
"So you paid to get her here? Hehe... Kid, you have good taste. You actually managed to get your hands on the number one beauty in our Guman City? Have you had your fun yet? How was it?"
"To be honest, I had the same thought before, but my father's identity is a bit sensitive, so he forbade me from provoking the military, lest I give the enemy an excuse. I didn't expect you to strike first!"
"How much did you spend? You Chinese are really rich... Those guards must have gotten a lot of benefits!"
Talon only noticed Jiang Bai at this moment, and recognized Jiang Bai's identity at a glance. He looked at Jiang Bai with a mocking expression and said this.
Jiang Bai didn't say anything, just stood there quietly watching Talon speak.
This wasn't his territory; he was a guest. This wasn't his place to handle it; he trusted Surya to take care of it.
Even if Surya is no good, isn't there still Khun Sa?
Don't think that just because this is Kuman, the capital of Western Thailand, Khun Sa can't do anything about it.
That would be a gross underestimation of Khun Sa's power.
If he couldn't even handle this little thing, how could Dilina have ended up in such a state?
Seeing that Jiang Bai remained silent, Talon assumed that Jiang Bai was scared and a mocking expression appeared on his face.
He knew these Chinese people all too well. They were rich, but they were all timid and believed in the idea that losing money could avert disaster.
It seems that this time he will not only get the beauty of his dreams, but also a considerable fortune.
Thinking of this, Talon became incredibly excited. Looking at Jiang Bai in front of him, he chuckled and said, "Kid, do you know that Dilina's father is a serious criminal? Her whole family are prisoners of the military. You actually dared to bribe the guards to get her out. I think you're tired of living!"
"What do you want?" Jiang Bai snorted coldly, speaking noncommittally.
"How about it? It's simple. Hand over Dilina to me, and then... well... you know, we need to be paid a hefty sum to keep quiet, otherwise, I'll have you arrested right away! Then you'll be in trouble!"
Talon chuckled upon hearing this, his eyes gleaming with smugness.
He not only wanted Dilina, but also wanted to blackmail Jiang Bai.
As soon as he said that, his companions burst into laughter, while Dilina's face turned ashen.
Surya frowned, and as Talon spoke, she began to reach for her waist.
Jiang Bai knew that the golden-clad man was carrying weapons, and it seemed that Surya was ready to make a move at any moment.
Although this is the great city of Guman, shooting someone in the street is a very troublesome thing. However, as the bodyguard that Khun Sa sent to Jiang Bai, if he doesn't even have this much courage, then Khun Sa shouldn't be in Taixi.
On this land, Khun Sa was not afraid of anything, no matter how big the problem was, so his men were naturally not afraid either.
Chapter 284 Extortion
Jiang Bai saw all of this, but made no attempt to stop it.
In his opinion, this kid was asking for it.
Before Surya could draw his gun, several figures in light green uniforms suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Bai and his group. Several swaying patrolmen walked over from a distance.
This forced Surya to put away his weapon.
Suria could handle a few people, but shooting a few policemen in Guman City would make it difficult to escape. At least she wasn't absolutely certain she could guarantee Jiang Bai and Dilina's safety in a gunfight.
Even the slightest possibility of danger prevented her from taking any risks.
As the bodyguard assigned to Jiang Bai by Khun Sa, even if Jiang Bai were to lose a single hair here, Surya would have no way to explain it to Khun Sa when he returned.
General Khun Sa's methods of punishing his incompetent and derelict subordinates sent chills down Surya's spine; it was a fate worse than death.
"Hehe, looks like some friends have arrived."
Surya's gaze did not escape Talon's eyes. He waved to a few patrol officers in the distance, and only after they saw him approaching did he turn his head to look at Jiang Bai in front of him.
He then pointed at Suria and said, "Is this beautiful woman your bodyguard? What was she trying to do just now? Was she going to draw her gun on me? Or was she going to attack me?"
"Don't you know that the government is holding an event nearby recently? There are at least two hundred police officers patrolling around here, and a company of soldiers two kilometers away. If there is an emergency, they can arrive within five minutes!"
With a chuckle, Talon said nonchalantly.
This also made Jiang Bai understand why this kid saw Su Liya's actions earlier but wasn't worried at all; it turned out he had something to rely on.
"Tell us, what will it take for you to let us go?"
Jiang Bai glanced at the other person silently and said noncommittally.
His target this time is Khun Sa, and he doesn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble unless something unexpected happens.
Even if it costs a little money, it's fine, since Khun Sa will definitely pay for it anyway.
"Let you go? Easy... I see you're quite wealthy. This outfit is all from world-renowned brands, not cheap at all, tsk tsk, and you're even wearing a Patek Philippe? Rich man! I won't ask for more, five million baht!"
After looking Jiang Bai up and down and seeing his attire, Talon didn't hesitate to ask for an exorbitant price: five million baht, which is roughly equivalent to one million Chinese yuan.
Jiang Bai was speechless. He had brought clothes that Yao Lan had picked out for him before, and even wore an expensive watch to make a good impression when he came to Taixi.
But to his surprise, in Talon's eyes, he became a fat sheep.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Bai glanced at Talon in front of him and slowly said, "Five million baht is fine, but I don't have that many baht. I can give you US dollars instead."
"Of course!"
The US dollar is far stronger than the chaotic Thai baht, and for this troubled country, there is no more attractive currency.
Talon was naturally willing.
"Alright, let's leave here. I have cash in my hotel for you!"
Jiang Bai glanced at the other person and said this.
He told the other party to follow him to the hotel, but whether or not he would pay them after they got there was up to Surya and the dozen or so professional soldiers she had left there to ask for their consent.
"A hotel? Fine! But I have one more condition! That is, you have to give me Dilina... and of course, I'm also very interested in this beautiful bodyguard beside you."
Talon did not reject Jiang Bai's proposal. As the son of the police chief of Guman City, he was confident that no one would dare to touch him here.
That's why they seem so unscrupulous.
Having settled the matter of money, he turned his gaze to Dilina and Suria, a lewd look constantly lingering over them.
This made Jiang Bai frown.
"I've already given you the money, don't go too far!"
Jiang Bai responded coldly.
"Hehe, excessive? I don't think it's excessive at all! Now that I think about it, you agreed to five million so easily, am I being taken advantage of? Hmm... I think I should take you back and then discuss the price with you properly."
Surprisingly, Talon's greed was insatiable. After Jiang Bai finished speaking, he suddenly regretted his previous offer and said such a thing.
"you!"
Jiang Bai was now somewhat angry.
But before Jiang Bai could finish speaking, the patrol officers that Talon had waved earlier had already come over. One of them glanced at Jiang Bai, then respectfully asked Talon, "Young Master Talon, what's wrong? Is there something you need?"
"It's nothing. These guys were just trying to blackmail me. Take them back and lock them up. I need to interrogate them properly!"
Talon lazily pointed at Jiang Bai and then said this.
In this chaotic country, officials wield immense power. Talon is similar to Gao Yanei in ancient times, possessing immense power, no less than his father.
His father was the police commissioner of Guman, so he was the second commissioner.
The patrolman didn't hesitate at all when he heard what he said. With a wave of his hand, four or five people behind him immediately drew their weapons and aimed them at Jiang Bai and his group.
He had done similar things for Young Master Talon many times before, and each time he received considerable benefits. As for whether the other party was innocent or not, he didn't care at all.
In fact, he had a general idea when he met Dilina.
I reckon that young master Talon has taken a fancy to this foreign woman, which is why he wants to capture them and take them back to play with.
As for whether it was legal or not, he didn't care at all. They were just a few foreigners, not important figures. Hundreds of foreigners go missing in Guman every year, and not many have been found.

Surya struggled angrily for a moment, shook off the two patrolmen who were holding her arms, glared at Talon in front of her, and said angrily.
If it weren't for the safety of Dilina and Jiang Bai, and the fear of something going wrong, she would never have compromised!
"Hehe, I don't know if I'll regret it... but I do know I'll have a lot of fun with you tonight, so you won't regret it later..."
With a chuckle, Talon said shamelessly.
After saying this, he glanced at Dilina, licked his dry lips, wiped away his saliva, and continued, "Of course... the premise is that I play with Miss Dilina first. If I really don't have the energy, my brothers will help me serve you..."
