"Boss Kun, notify Xiang Shanhe to have the guards set up crossfire points at the intersection opposite the Red Building."

Inside the Hummer convoy, Lin Dong leaned back in the back seat with his eyes closed, an invisible golden light faintly swirling between his brows.

"There are two snipers on the roof of the office building on the east side of the Red Building, and at least 25 soldiers lying in ambush on the roofs of buildings on both sides of the street. I will have Xiao Yi lead a team to eliminate them later."

"Yes, boss!" Kun Sheng's white mustache twitched, a fleeting look of surprise crossing his face.

How did he know the situation three kilometers away?

Kun Sheng dared not delay and picked up the satellite phone to issue the order.

Having witnessed so many of their boss Lin's extraordinary abilities, they naturally became immune to them over time.

Hawkeye, who was driving, tightened his grip on the steering wheel: "Boss, can you really see three kilometers away?"

“It’s clearer than satellite images.” Lin Dong’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Peng Demin is certainly willing to invest heavily; he’s even brought T-72 tanks into the city.”

"What? It's Peng Demin? How is that possible?" Kun Sheng exclaimed in shock. "Boss, are you sure?"

"I can't be mistaken, the people in the besieged building are from the First Regiment of the Kokang Self-Defense Army under Peng Demin's command." Lin Dong sneered slightly.

"Why would he do this? Aren't we allies with the Kokang King?" Kun Sheng looked on incredulously.

"Boss Kun, don't be too kind-hearted. There are no eternal allies in this world."

"If the benefits are great enough, even husbands and wives, fathers and sons can turn against each other, let alone allies?"

Lin Dong opened his eyes and gazed at the gradually clearing fireworks in the distance:

"Besides you few, who else knew I was going back to Kokang this time?"

Kun Sheng's expression turned serious: "No, apart from the people present, we didn't notify anyone, including the guard platoon led by Xiao Yi."

"That's good. Now that I'm back, it's better to lay some things out on the table sooner rather than later."

"What do you mean, boss?"

"Mr. Kun, let me ask you, why did I ally with Peng Jiasheng in the first place?"

"Is it because of... Kokang Casino?"

“That’s right. At that time, we had just wiped out the Bai and Wei families and were still weakened. In addition, we were in a hurry to go to Kachin State. Peng Jiasheng was still the Kokang King on the surface, and the people’s hearts were on their side.”

Lin Dong shifted his posture, his voice low:

"Most importantly, the construction of the Kokang casino city cannot be separated from the support and participation of the Peng family's forces."

"Then why? Why did they choose to act now?" Kun Sheng asked, puzzled.

"First, Peng Demin's troops this time did not besiege our Dragon Gang's properties, but Lai Changsheng's Red Mansion."

"Secondly, even if they know that Lai Changsheng knows me, if the reason for the enclosed building is sufficient, even the Dragon Gang will not be able to interfere."

"Third, and most importantly, once the Kokang casino opens, the profits will only become more and more astonishing. Do you still remember the agreement between the Dragon Gang and the Self-Defense Army?"

Kun Sheng pondered for a few seconds before speaking:

“I remember that the boss made an agreement with the Kokang King: 20% of the profits from each casino in the city would be shared by the Dragon Gang and the Self-Defense Army.”

“The Dragon Gang takes 14%, and the Kokang King’s Self-Defense Force takes 6%.”

Lin Dong nodded slightly: "That's right. Since Kokang City opened to the public, what has been the Dragon Gang's total revenue?"

"The Dragon Gang's profits are... 360 million US dollars."

"360 million US dollars, and that's less than half a year's profit. Mr. Kun, do you think some people might be tempted to make a move?"

"Does Peng Jiasheng have the guts?"

"Just because it didn't exist before doesn't mean it doesn't exist now, because... if I'm not mistaken, the Burmese government's special envoy is currently a guest at Peng's residence."

Before Lin Dong could finish speaking, another muffled explosion came from ahead.

Amidst the neon-lit buildings, an even larger flame shot into the sky.

The west annex of the Red Building had a corner blown off by a T-72 tank shell.

The firelight illuminated Lin Dong's features in a reddish hue.

As the saying goes, "A man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant." You can never truly see how crazy a person can be for profit.

"What a coincidence, I've stumbled upon this good show. I'll have to watch closely to see how the Peng family father and son put on their act. Hehe..."

In the passenger seat of the Hummer, the military genius was silently checking the magazines when he heard this and looked up: "Should we mobilize the youth army?"

"No need." Lin Dong shook his head, his eyes brightening, as if stars were flickering deep within his pupils. "Just have Xiao Yi's team of guards go."

Seven Hummers sped through the night, the neon lights and flames of the nearby casino casting a blood-red hue on each vehicle's windshield...

After turning the last bend, the Red Building came into view.

The seven-story building was riddled with bullet holes, the main entrance was destroyed, and thick smoke was still billowing from the windows on the third floor on the west side.

More than 600 soldiers dressed in self-defense army uniforms surrounded the Red Building with guns.

In the center of the street, two gray-green T-72 main battle tanks stood side by side, their thick gun barrels pointing at the red building ahead.

The Hummer convoy drove onto Melanie Street, less than 200 meters from the Red House.

"Stop the car!" Lin Dong suddenly shouted.

"Squeak!"

Amidst the screech of brakes, an RPG rocket grazed the front of the car and slammed into the roadside, its explosion illuminating the neon advertising signs on the street.

...............................................

The smoke of battle has not yet cleared.

A loudspeaker blared from the street corner ahead: "Brother Kun, my father always said that a true hero of northern Myanmar should be like you."
