Late at night, the hustle and bustle of the park has faded away, leaving only the dim street lights flickering in silence.

I was sitting in He Keliang's car, and there was a blur of darkness outside the car window. Only the beam of streetlights crossed the window from time to time and projected into this small space.

He Keliang and I were the only two people in the car, and there was a sense of uneasiness in the air.

As the car slowly drove out of the park, I tried to find some clues and asked, "Where are we going?"

He Keliang held the steering wheel and kept his eyes fixed on the front. He answered concisely and mysteriously: "Pa'an."

"Pa'an?" I frowned and continued to ask, "What are you doing there?"

He glanced sideways at me, with a mysterious smile on his lips: "You'll know when we get there."

What is this guy doing?

Just an hour ago, He Keliang suddenly called me and told me to go somewhere with him, and asked me not to notify anyone.

I was a little confused. After I came out of the villa, I got into his car.

When I was still fighting with Hu Laosan, I wasn't very fond of He Keliang.

When something big happens in the park, this guy basically doesn't show up and just shrinks back like a turtle.

When there is nothing going on in the park, he will often jump out and give pointers.

Now that I have become the person in charge of the park, I look down upon him even more.

I'm not worried about what he will do to me. After all, he wouldn't dare to lend him some courage.

It's just that he asked me to go to Hpa-an with him in the middle of the night. I'm afraid it wasn't his own intention, but someone instigated him.

There is no one else but He Hong who can instruct him to do things.

So, Ho Hong is waiting for me in Hpa An?

It's not far from the park to Hpa-an, only an hour's journey.

Over there is the capital of Karen State.

The car was driving on the road, surrounded by endless darkness, and only the lights inside the car seemed particularly isolated.

The music in the car was playing quietly, as if it was an invisible comfort, easing the quiet atmosphere in the car.

Finally, after an hour's journey, we came to a temple.

This temple looks particularly solemn and solemn in the night.

The ancient red walls and yellow tiles glowed faintly in the moonlight, and the surrounding trees swayed gently in the breeze.

The gatehouse of the temple is tall and simple, with exquisite carvings and every detail revealing a quiet solemnity.

We got out of the car and walked towards the temple gate.

The courtyard of the temple was quiet, with only the sound of our footsteps echoing in the empty space.

Walking through the corridor, we came to the backyard of the temple.

The buildings here are older, and the wooden structures exude a deep luster under the moonlight.

At the door of a room, there were several burly bodyguards standing. Their eyes scanned the surroundings warily. When they saw us approaching, their expressions became serious.

Warm light came from the room, and through the window, I could vaguely see the furnishings inside.

He Keliang led me towards the room. The bodyguard at the door nodded to us, indicating that we could go in.

Opening the door, I saw He Hong kneeling on a futon, holding Buddhist beads in his hand. His eyes were closed tightly, as if he was praying devoutly.

His face looked particularly pious under the light in front of the Buddha statue, and everything around him seemed particularly peaceful, as if even the air had solidified.

He Keliang and I stood at the door, not daring to disturb He Hong loudly.

I observed this room. There were some Buddhist murals hanging on the walls, each painting depicting some story of Buddhism.

In the corner of the room, there are some wooden Buddha statues, each of which is carved with meticulous detail, revealing a deep tranquility.

He Hong's prayer seemed to last for a long time, until he slowly opened his eyes and saw us standing at the door, his expression changed from pious to serious.

He put down the beads, stood up slowly, and walked towards us.

His eyes swept over He Keliang and me, and he said, "Yang Lei, you are here."

I nodded, feeling a little curious: "Mr. He, you suddenly called me here so late. Is there something urgent?"

He Hong smiled slightly, with a deep look on his face: "It's not urgent, but there are indeed some things that I need to talk to you face to face."

He turned around and pointed to the small table next to him, motioning for us to sit down.

We sat down opposite He Hong, while He Keliang stood aside with a respectful expression.

He Hong sat quietly, staring at me, as if he was weighing how to speak.

After a while, He Hong took a deep breath and said slowly: "I came back from Malaysia two days ago... I always feel that this year is not going well, so I came here to say goodbye."

I didn't say anything, but I couldn't help but think in my heart: You have done so many bad things, what's the use of worshiping more Buddhas?

"What did the Malays say this time?" I asked pretending to be curious.

He sighed slowly: "The matter has been settled, and every shareholder will contribute the money to the Wa State. But..."

At this point, the conversation changed: "I received news that part of the money from the Wa State went to Laojie."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart, and my expression didn't change: "Old Street?"

"Yeah, and it's also in the hands of the Wei family." He said, "For a long time, there has been little contact between our side of the Moai River and the other side of the old street. We all sit on our own hills... Regarding this matter, I I feel very strange.”

"Mr. He suspects that Hu Laosan is colluding with the Wei family?" I asked.

He pondered for a moment and said: "Hu Laosan used to have some businesses of his own in Laojie, and he also had contact with the four major families in Laojie. I know this. In the past two years, my relationship with the Wei family was pretty good. We originally planned to cooperate with them to open a casino in Lao Cai. But then the situation changed and the cooperation fell through."

"Hu Laosan took away the money given to the Wa State this time, and part of it returned to the Wei family. I feel something is wrong..."

"He always feels like something is wrong?"

"You said he was going to run away, so why would he give money to the Wei family?" He Hong asked a crucial question.

I pretended to guess, "Could he want the Wei family to help him leave the country?"

He Hong laughed: "Do you know how much money the Wei family has?"

I shook my head.

"If he just wants the Wei family to help him leave the country, there is no need to pay so much money... I suspect that there are still people in the park who are colluding with the Wei family."

I frowned: "If Mr. He said this, how could Hu Laosan take out the money?"

"This is also a point that I can't figure out..." He fiddled with the prayer beads in his hand, and then said: "Do you know the reason why I came to you tonight?"

"He always wants me to investigate this matter?" I asked tentatively.

He nodded: "Yes. Now that you are the person in charge of the park, I hope you will investigate this matter clearly. And don't make it public, and investigate it privately. I don't want the people on the Malay side to know. Those guys are all frightened. Rabbit, once they find out about this, I don’t know what tricks they will come up with.”

I took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
