"You can eat at any time, but the prerequisite is that the matter needs to be settled." As soon as Wang Quanfu finished speaking, a tense and serious atmosphere filled the air.

Tang Zhilong slowly put down the shrimp fishing rod in his hand. His movements seemed extremely cautious, as if every detail was full of profound meaning.

He picked up a delicate cigar from the wooden table nearby, lit it with an almost ritualistic movement, and took a deep breath. The slight crackling sound of the cigar burning seemed to be the prelude to this conversation. .

As the cigar smoke lingered, Tang Zhilong's face looked even more unfathomable in the smoke. His eyes were locked on mine, as if he wanted to find something in my eyes: "Then tell me, what do you want to see me this time?" What to talk about?"

His voice was low, and each word seemed to be squeezed out slowly from the deep smoke, with a sense of calmness and self-power.

Wang Quanfu gave me a meaningful look, and I calmly took out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep breath, letting the smoke intertwined with Tang Zhilong's cigar in the air.

I spoke calmly: "Boss Tang, I know you have always wanted to get cooperation channels in Indonesia..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Zhilong's eyes narrowed suddenly, and smoke swirled around him, seeming to add a somewhat mysterious and unpredictable atmosphere to him.

He exhaled a puff of smoke slowly, as if he was digesting my words and weighing the implications of what I said.

I continued without pausing: "As far as I know, Boss Tang needs Indonesian channels so much because he wants to open the drug market from there?"

My words were direct and firm, without any evasion.

Before this, I had done enough homework to know that Tang Zhilong’s background was far more than just human trafficking on the surface.

His background, especially his wife's family's deep ties to the Golden Triangle, indicate that he is no outsider in the drug business.

The drug market in Chiang Mai has long been divided up by various forces. If you want to get a piece of the pie, the only way is to expand overseas.

Indonesia, for Tang Zhilong, is just a springboard to a larger market - Europe, America and even the world.

I clearly expressed my understanding and judgment and tried to open up the negotiation situation between the two parties in this direct and clear way.

Tang Zhilong was silent for a moment, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He seemed to appreciate my straightforward and accurate analysis.

He gently put down the cigar in his hand and stared at me with burning eyes: "Yang Lei, right? You are really well-informed. Yes, Indonesia is indeed very important to me. But what does this have to do with you?"

As the smoke I exhaled slowly dispersed in the air, I pretended to laugh easily, trying to ease the tense atmosphere of the negotiation in front of me.

As soon as I started speaking, Tang Zhilong's eyes were already staring at me sharply. His direct and penetrating gaze seemed to see through everything about me.

"Are you from Red Rose?" He couldn't help but ask, with obvious curiosity and vigilance in his tentative inquiry.

I smiled slightly and neither denied nor admitted directly. I just answered vaguely: "So be it."

My answer seemed to increase his interest in me: "So you are here on behalf of the Red Rose?"

He asked again, trying to find out more information from my answer.

I nodded in confirmation.

When Tang Zhilong saw this, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "Okay!"

He clapped his hands to express his excitement: "Since you have opened up, I will tell the truth. I don't know what is happening with Viagra now, and I don't want to know. I have done a lot for Xintai Group in recent years. , but the group has never treated me badly. My idea is simple, as long as the group doesn’t want to take back the business in Chiang Mai, everything will be easy to negotiate."

My smile became more obvious: "Boss Tang is really a cheerful person. This time Sister Hong asked me to come here mainly because she wanted to make a deal with Mr. Tang."

As soon as I finished speaking, Tang Zhilong's interest was obviously aroused, "Oh? What deal?" he asked impatiently.

I said slowly: "The channels in Indonesia are now in the hands of Sister Hong. As long as Boss Tang does not interfere in the internal affairs of the group, Sister Hong can give the channels away."

My tone was calm, but every word carried weight.

Hearing this, Tang Zhilong grinned involuntarily: "So, Red Rose wants to take over Li Wenchang?"

There was an inexplicable joy and expectation in his words.

I did not answer his question directly, but chose to remain silent and took another deep breath of cigarette, letting the smoke linger between us, adding a bit of mystery and contemplation.

After a while, Tang Zhilong seemed to have made some kind of decision: "No problem, but I have a condition!" His voice suddenly became serious.

"What conditions?" I asked, secretly wary.

"There is a woman named Ma Xin next to Li Wenchang. I want you to help me find her." Tang Zhilong's request surprised me. I never expected that he would make such a condition.

I smiled bitterly and replied: "Boss Tang, I'm afraid you are forcing yourself into something difficult."

There was a hint of helplessness and practical difficulty in my words.

Tang Zhilong seemed to realize that his condition was inappropriate. After thinking for a moment, he softened his tone: "Then at least you should try your best to help me find this woman."

Although I agreed to Tang Zhilong's conditions on the surface, I knew in my heart that finding Ma Xin was almost a fruitless pursuit.

Ma Xin seemed to have evaporated from this troubled world, leaving no trace behind.

Although this mission was agreed to, it seemed like a mission destined to fail.

Seeing that our negotiations had come to an end, Wang Quanfu stood up and broke the moment of silence.

He smiled and joked: "Now that the matter is settled, should we go to dinner soon?" His words were relaxed and cheerful, as if the tense atmosphere just now had never existed.

Tang Zhilong also laughed, with a friendly and enthusiastic attitude: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. We will go there now."

His voice was filled with the pride and enthusiasm of a host, making people involuntarily attracted to his aura.

Leaving the quiet shrimp fishing spot, we got into our respective vehicles.

As the car drove through the streets of Chiang Mai, the surrounding scenery was like a slowly unfolding scroll, but I had no time to appreciate it.

As soon as I got in the car, I quickly took out my mobile phone and sent a message to Liu Yun, reporting to her the situation of my meeting with Tang Zhilong.

Liu Yun replied to me quickly. Her words were concise and urgent, telling me to hurry up and return to Pathum Thani.

From her words, I could feel that something urgent must have happened over there.

I tried to ask for more details but she didn't reveal much and just told me to wait until I got back to Pathum Thani to talk more.
