After hanging up the phone with Zhan Peng, Balu thought about it and called Hong Jin again.
Hong Jin's personal phone usually requires several calls before it can be connected. This time, I was lucky and the second one was connected.
"Alu." Hong Jin's voice came from the other side, like a clear stream hitting the stone.
"Brother Jin, do you remember Taylor in Las Vegas?" Baru went straight to the point.
"Yes, he almost killed you back then. He was a big shot. What's wrong?" Hong Jin asked.
"His illegitimate child seems to have something to do with my brother Zhan Peng's runaway wife. Zhan Peng is now in Country M. I'm afraid that he will be targeted by Taylor and suffer."
"Taylor has so many illegitimate children that he won't care. He's a businessman and only cares about where he can make money. He won't care about his illegitimate children's emotional issues."
"That's where the suspicious thing comes in. His cold-bloodedness is well known to everyone in Las Vegas, yet he took his illegitimate son, who was abandoned in Thailand, back home a few years ago. It's impossible that he has a change of heart."
The person on the other end was silent for two seconds. "This is interesting," Hong Jin said with some speculation. "That illegitimate child should be useful to him, and very useful. So, it is very likely that he has noticed Zhan Peng's wife, but he is keeping it secret. Either he really doesn't care, or he has other motives, but the time has not come yet."
"We've found that Zhan Peng controls half of the local drug and marijuana market. Casinos are no longer his primary business; drugs are." Baru spoke with a hint of worry. "Brother Jin, Zhan Peng may have been targeted."
"Why did he target Zhan Peng?"
"Since I returned to Yangon, Chan Pong has been in charge of drug control in northern Myanmar. Over the past year or so, he has paid a lot. Even his wife ran away, and he has made many enemies. He has raised his son abroad and dared not bring him back.
Brother Jin, he is my brother who has shared my life with me, I cannot bear to see him in danger."
"Now that you say that, everything fits together. The three major international sources of drugs are the Golden Triangle, the Golden Crescent, and the Silver Triangle. With the gradual loosening of the U.S. government's control over drugs, those with some power have set their sights on this piece of fat meat. Frontline drug soldiers like Zhan Peng are a thorn in their side."
If Taylor really has his eye on Zhan Peng, it's very likely that he wants to get involved in the Golden Triangle's drug business, not just in retail, but also at the source.
"You mean to say that this is a conspiracy in itself, and Yana is just a bait they use to lure Zhan Peng?" Baru's face became visibly tense.
"These people usually use a method where, if they want to get involved in a local business, they first kill a local drug pioneer and use it as a sacrifice at the dock.
However, these are just our guesses, after all, the other party hasn't made a move yet."
"I understand, Brother Jin!" Baru hung up the phone with a heavy heart.
When she walked into the restaurant, she saw a woman in her forties sitting next to Nanxi, who looked very similar to her. She was stunned at first, then looked at Biaozi at the next table.
Biaozi looked sympathetic and gave him a look that told him to fend for himself.
Baru walked over confused.
"Aunt, he is Balu, my husband. You can just call him A'long." Seeing him coming, Nanxi took his arm and pulled him to sit next to her to introduce him to Nan Ershu.
Baru was stunned for a moment, looked at Nanxi, then looked at the woman opposite him, his tongue seemed to be tied, "Auntie...Hello, Auntie."
Nan Ershu looked Balu up and down as if she was staring at a pig that had eaten her own cabbage.
"Are you from Myanmar? What do you do for a living? How many people are there in your family? How much do you earn? How did you get to know my Xixi..."
Nan Ershu was like a mother-in-law who had just met her son-in-law, asking all kinds of questions.
Baru's Adam's apple moved, and he placed his hands on his thighs. "I'm a Burmese soldier. I have many sources of income. I haven't calculated it carefully, but my private property is probably several hundred million US dollars. My family...my parents are both dead..."
He actually started to answer seriously.
Nan Ershu's face was quite serious at first, but the more she listened to him, the happier her face became. In the end, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.
"Not bad, not bad. He's rich, has no parents, is handsome, and has a high nose. Apart from being a little dark-skinned and having a not-so-good job, everything else is fine."
Baru will stay where he is. Is this the standard Chinese people use when looking for a son-in-law?
Nanxi was a little embarrassed, "Aunt, don't tease him, he will take it seriously."
"You're going to protect him right now?" Nan Ershu tapped Nan Xi's eyebrows. "Thank goodness your evil father is dead. Otherwise, how could he have caught Nan Zhenguo's eye? The more you protect him, the more he'll get in the way."
"Aunt, Dad has passed away. You should stop hating him. Forget about the past and live happily." Nanxi sighed.
Ever since her aunt got married, she has cut off all ties with the Nan family. She only comes to the school to see her once or twice, which is her only attachment to this family relationship.
Even when grandpa and dad passed away, she and her aunt didn't show up.
Nanxi never thought that she would meet her in Beijing. Only then did she know that her cousin had gone abroad and her uncle had passed away not long ago. There were only her aunt and her cousin's daughter at home.
"I know, Xixi, I'm happy for you. Don't blame your aunt for her harsh words. If Nan Zhenguo hadn't died, he would never have let you marry him. Nan Zhenguo is a pervert who can't stand other people's relationships. It's a good thing he died early, otherwise, you would have followed in your aunt's footsteps."
Nan Ershu took a sip of water, took out a top-grade white jade Guanyin pendant from her bag, and handed it to Balu.
"Here, it's a gift for meeting you. This was part of the dowry I looted from the Nan family when I got married. I was planning to give it to Xixi's husband when she got married, but it's just as well to give it to her now."
Baru scratched his head and took it with both hands, "Thank you, auntie."
"You are a cute and naive young man. But you are not allowed to bully my Xixi in the future. You must listen to your wife, okay? Especially the money must be given to your wife. Men will learn bad things if they have money." Nan Ershu smiled kindly. The more she looked at the young man, the more handsome he became.
"I know, auntie, I dare not bully her." Balu picked up the kettle and added water to Nan Ershu's cup.
"Aunt, are you shopping alone? Xixi and I are free, so we'll go shopping with you after dinner. I didn't expect to run into you. It's my fault for not preparing a gift. I'll pay for whatever you like today."
"Not bad, you are quite capable." Nan Ershu nodded with satisfaction, and seemed to have thought of something again, and sighed.
"If your brother Feng had half the understanding of Xiaolong, he wouldn't have driven your sister-in-law away. Now he's gone to Country M to fool around. Mountains of gold and silver can't withstand a prodigal son. I'm really afraid he'll squander the family. I don't care, but Yunqian is only three years old. What will she do? It's a sin to have such a father."
"Aunt, Brother Feng will eventually mature. It's just that his family spoiled him too much in the past. Don't think too much about it. The Mo family has a deep foundation. How could it be ruined like this? You should train Yunqian well. She will definitely be excellent in the future." Nanxi comforted.
"Ah, every time I see Yunqian, I think of you when you were a child. She is as cute as you, and has the same miserable life as you, with an unreliable father. But you are luckier than her. At least, Suzhi dotes on you and protects you."
