Three commercial vehicles drove slowly along Highway 1, their destination was the beautiful Chiang Mai.

The sun shines through the car window into the car, spreading golden color all over the floor.

Datu and Chang Jianlin and I sat in the car in the middle of the queue. The car was spacious and the seats were comfortable. Everyone had different expressions on their faces.

Outside the window, the scenery is picturesque, with green fields and distant mountains alternating, and occasionally a few isolated hills stand out in the sunlight.

The scenery on both sides of the road recedes quickly, but our thoughts are floating in this peaceful and tense journey.

Datu occasionally looked in the rearview mirror at the following vehicles. His eyes were firm and alert, as if he was confirming the safety of the team.

Chang Jianlin took out a map and discussed the route and possible situations with me from time to time.

I sat in the car with mixed thoughts.

This trip to Chiang Mai is both a reunion and an unknown.

Hu Laosan’s invitation made me full of expectation and curiosity about what was about to happen.

Along the way, I kept sorting out my thoughts, trying to find some clues from past memories to predict the possible results of this meeting.

The convoy was driving leisurely, and everyone was making their own preparations for the upcoming meeting.

When our motorcade finally drove into Chiang Mai, the sky was gradually darkening, and the afterglow of the setting sun gave the ancient city a golden coat.

I quickly contacted the man who had found me in Mae Sot.

Soon, he drove up to us in a sleek BMW, his attitude still respectful, and took us to a high-end villa area in Chiang Mai.

Driving into the villa area, the surrounding scene becomes quieter and more private.

Tall walls isolate the hustle and bustle of the outside world, and an appropriate distance is maintained between each villa to ensure the privacy of the residents.

Our vehicle slowly stopped in front of a villa with modern design and brand-new appearance.

Dadu and Chang Jianlin quickly got out of the car. They looked around and after confirming that it was safe, I walked out of the car and set foot on this unknown land.

We walked through the spacious hall of the villa, and every decoration revealed a luxurious yet tasteful atmosphere.

The floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby fill the interior with natural light, while carefully selected artworks add a touch of cultural charm to the space.

Finally, we came to the backyard of the villa, and a swimming pool came into view.

On the water, several young women in swimsuits were playing and playing in the water. Their laughter was light and contagious, bringing vitality and joy to this quiet space.

Beside the swimming pool, under a large sun umbrella, Hu Laosan was sitting leisurely on a wicker chair. He was wearing a loose nightgown and holding a slowly burning cigar in his hand.

The smoke of the cigar lingered around him, intertwining gently with the evening breeze, forming a picture that seemed to be indifferent to the world.

However, Hu Laosan's weathered face and deep eyes reveal the complexity and unfathomability of him.

At this moment, all doubts and worries seemed to be temporarily put on hold.

I took a deep breath and walked towards him.

When Hu Laosan saw me, his smile seemed to hide all his uneasiness and sorrow.

He stood up from the chair briskly, walked over, and stretched out his hands to me enthusiastically, as if there had never been any distance between us.

Before I could react, he had already hugged me tightly. At that moment, I seemed to feel the shadow of the former Hu Laosan who was the master of the Moai River Park.

"Lao Yang, are you okay?" There was a sense of relaxation and joy in his voice, which was very different from his previous image of a bereaved dog.

At this time, he exuded an indescribable confidence and calmness, as if he had returned to the glorious moment when he once ruled the park.

We sat opposite each other. Hu Laosan handed me a cigar, but I politely shook my head and refused. I took out the Yuxi I brought with me, lit it and took a deep breath: "Brother San, you know, I am not used to smoking cigars." .”

There was a hint of nostalgia in his laughter: "You really haven't changed at all."

I smiled back: "Third brother, aren't you the same?"

There was a faint smell of tobacco in the air, which seemed to shorten the distance between us.

The topic quickly turned to He Hong, "I heard that He Hong is hiding in Ma Lai now?" Hu Laosan exhaled a wisp of smoke with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

I nodded briefly to confirm, and then briefly described the current situation of the Moai River Park to him.

After listening to what I said, he couldn't help but sigh again and again, lamenting the changes of time and the impermanence of personnel: "It's true that things have changed and people have changed. In less than a year, the park has become like this..."

His eyes suddenly became deep, as if he wanted to see the secrets in my heart through my eyes: "Lao Yang, tell me the truth, is it you..."

Before he could finish speaking, I interrupted his speculation with a smile: "Third brother, you think so highly of me. Who am I? The park is what it is today, thanks to He Keliang."

Hu Laosan smiled helplessly and said: "That guy failed more than succeeded. I don't know if He Hong will be angry to death if he causes such a big thing this time."

As he said that, he asked: "Then where is He Keliang now?"

I slowly took a puff of cigarette, pondered for a moment and said: "Dead..."

Hearing this, Hu Laosan was stunned for a moment, and I continued: "I killed him."

"Did you kill him?" He looked at me in shock, "Why?"

I said in an understatement: "Because of Zhao Min."

"Zhao Min?"

"Well, that's Zhao Yuan."

Hu Laosan was a little confused. When I saw this, I didn't hide it. Instead, I told him about Zhao Min and Zhao Yuan.

After listening, he was greatly shocked: "I didn't expect that there is such a thing?"

He laughed self-deprecatingly: "I have been in the park for so many years, and I thought I knew everything. Unexpectedly, there are so many things I don't know."

"Before, Third Brother was in a high position, so it was normal not to know what was happening below." I put out the cigarette butt in my hand and said.

"I don't see that you are still a person who values ​​love and justice." Hu Laosan seemed to have something else to say.

"Third brother, are you still thinking about the dog king?" I asked.

He sighed and said, "What's there to think about? Everything is fate and you have no control over it...I believe in fate more and more now."

I smiled and said, "Third brother is not old enough to know destiny, so why do you believe in it?"

"After going through so many things, sometimes I can't help but believe it." He snapped his fingers and had two cups of tea brought over.

After chatting for a while, the sky also darkened, so I asked: "The third brother came to me this time, isn't it just as simple as reminiscing about old times?"

Hearing my words, he smiled slightly: "Of course there are other things."
