In the dead of night, the port city in southern Siam, Surat Thani, is also called the Wharf of Wan Lun Province.
In the drizzle, three armed speedboats turned off their engines and slowly docked at the shore.
Du Weiguo got off the speedboat and walked on the trestle with long strides. His face was cold and he said nothing. James followed him step by step with an apologetic smile on his face:
"Mr. Wesley, don't be angry, our guys have been staring at this guy named Lao Mao for a long time.
It is certain that he is the spy of those pirates in Surat Thani City. He must know where those pirates are hiding, I guarantee it. "
Du Weiguo didn't even turn his head, his tone was harsh and merciless:
"James, stop talking nonsense and go catch this spy named Lao Mao. I have fully seen the level of your Interpol police today."
It was understandable that Du Weiguo was so angry. He was deceived by James, an old kid. Du Weiguo was impressed by some of the conditions he proposed and finally decided to cooperate with James.
Du Weiguo's mission is to destroy this group of pirates. As for rescuing the yellow-haired gorilla, it is James' job, and Du Weiguo will not interfere.
Du Weiguo’s original words are as follows:
"James, if you insist on saving that stupid gorilla, then even if you and him die in front of my eyes, I will never care.
Since you want to gain something, you have to take corresponding risks. To paraphrase a Chinese proverb, this is life and death, destiny and wealth are determined by heaven. "
But James agreed very happily, almost without hesitation. It seemed that this gorilla was very important to him.
However, what troubles Du Weiguo is that James and the others don't even know the specific hiding place of the pirates.
I just know that these pirates are entrenched in the area near Songkhla and Shadun. It is a quite vast area covered with rocks, woods, swamps and tidal flats.
If there is no specific location, it is like finding a needle in a haystack, and it is extremely easy to alert the enemy once the group of tough pirates are on guard.
Du Weiguo didn't care that the gorilla must die without a burial place. The key point was that the sneak attack turned into a strong attack, which was the real trouble.
The equipment of these guys should not be underestimated, their firepower is fierce, and they are not afraid of death. Given the favorable location, even Du Weiguo has to avoid the edge temporarily.
Therefore, Du Weiguo had to follow James to Surat Thani City to catch the pirates' spy, a guy nicknamed Lao Mao.
On the pier, there were several inconspicuous cars waiting there. Du Weiguo followed James into one of them, and the car quickly started and drove towards the city.
"James, you Interpol attach so much importance to this case. Are you working so hard to sell the US military? Or are you trying to sell Mobil?"
In the car, Du Weiguo lit a cigarette and said in a teasing tone. James looked a little embarrassed and said bravely:
"Mr. Wesley, our Interpol is not an organization of this nature. We are not involved in politics and interest factors. Our purpose is to eradicate crimes of an international nature~"
Du Weiguo sneered and said in a joking tone:
"Tch, what are you saying? Are you feeling guilty? If the accident happened this time and it wasn't a Mobil oil tanker, would that stupid gorilla take care of it?
If the gorilla hadn't killed the pirate's young master, could these guys have gone crazy? Would you Interpol jump up and down like this? "
Du Weiguo hit the nail on the head and showed no mercy. He exhaled a puff of smoke and his tone became sharper:
"James, you said that politics and interests are not involved in the operation of Interpol. Do you believe this? In international relations, what else is left besides politics and interests? International humanitarianism? Ha!"
Du Weiguo's words were as sharp as a knife, and they hit the vital point. James felt as if he had been slapped hard, his face turned red, and he was speechless.
Du Weiguo glanced at him coldly and changed the subject:
"This group of pirates entrenched in Songkhla are not just desperadoes, they have traces of professional training.
Although they are not elite military training, they are definitely not stragglers. Moreover, their equipment is too good, and they are all the latest Soviet-style equipment~"
"Hiss~"
Upon hearing this, James' eyes shrank suddenly, he gasped, his face turned pale, and his tone was extremely solemn:
"Mr. Wesley, are you saying that we have unintentionally participated in the game between the two camps?"
Du Weiguo sneered, his tone extremely contemptuous:
"Hahaha, James, it's not us, it's you. You are the Interpol. Think about it for yourself. This is a 150,000-ton oil tanker.
Are these pirates losing their minds and going crazy? With just their few small sampans, how are they going to sell the crude oil? "
James' face was pale at this moment and he was sweating profusely. He thought of a very scary possibility. His eyes flickered and he swallowed:
"Mr. Wesley, what are your suggestions?"
Du Weiguo flicked the cigarette butt along the gap in the car window, curled his lips slightly, and said in a casual tone:
"I, I don't care, I am a free man, I have no position, well, I am your mercenary now, I just take money to kill people.
By the way, James, if you can't fulfill the conditions you promised me before, huh, where is your headquarters? Vienna, right? "
Upon hearing this, James suddenly became gloomy, sweating profusely, and leaned on the back of the car seat dejectedly.
Du Weiguo glanced at him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and sneered silently.
This James is ambitious. This incident in Pattaya caused a big fuss, shocked the world, and attracted worldwide attention.
James caught up at the right time. He wanted to use this achievement of wiping out the pirates to make a huge political achievement and sell it well to certain forces, so that he could take a step forward.
It's a pity that cleverness is mistaken for wisdom, and James accidentally broke into the game between two huge forces.
No matter whether he succeeds or fails in this extermination and rescue mission, he will definitely offend one party, and there will be only one end. He will rarely make any progress in his life. In serious cases, he may even die suddenly due to some accident.
You know, the KGB is an organization that doesn't rub sand in its eyes, and is the most ruthless in the world.
After a while, several cars slowly stopped at an inconspicuous intersection, and James got out of the car with a dazed expression.
A capable young man ran out of the alley, leaned into his ear, and whispered a few words softly, and James nodded.
The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. James steeled himself, gathered a few of his men together, pointed at a bar with neon lights not far away, and ordered in a low voice:
"The basement of that night bar is a casino, and Lao Mao is the owner of this casino, and he is inside now.
The entrance to the casino is next to the innermost warehouse of the bar. We will wait to enter the bar. After approaching the warehouse, we will rush in to arrest people. If necessary, we can shoot. "
"yes."
Several of his subordinates responded in a low voice and were about to disperse when Du Weiguo lightly interjected:
"Is there a backdoor or other secret passage to the casino?"
James' expression became stern, and he immediately looked at the young man responsible for tracking the capable man. The young man shook his head hurriedly.
Du Weiguo frowned slightly, emphasized his tone, and asked again:
"Is it because I don't have it, or do I just don't know?"
"No, I don't know~"
The young man looked shy and stammered. Du Weiguo sighed softly and said helplessly:
"James, give me a picture of this old cat, there's got to be one, right?"
"Uh~ Yes, I do, but I didn't bring it with me."
James became more and more embarrassed, Du Weiguo frowned and spoke harshly:
"Oral, verbal description of physical characteristics."
A moment later, Du Weiguo, wearing a black hunting cowhide jacket and big-toe military boots, stepped into the water and walked into the bar called Nightlight alone.
The bar is not large, but there are quite a lot of people. The decoration is average, the lights are dim, and there are many lost drinkers sitting there.
There was relatively soothing unknown Siamese music playing in the bar, and several scantily clad women carrying trays were walking back and forth.
Du Weiguo walked easily and unhurriedly, and found a seat and sat down. A waitress with a fair appearance and a hot figure came over immediately and greeted him in Siamese.
Du Weiguo gently brushed the rainwater from his hair, showed a charming smile on his face, and said softly:
"English, thank you."
The waitress was shocked by Du Weiguo's smile. She was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she said in broken English:
"Sir, what would you like to drink?"
"A strong drink, please."
Du Weiguo directly took out a hundred-dollar bill and gently placed it on the waitress's tray. Seeing that he was so generous and a fat sheep, the waitress's eyes shone even brighter.
For most women, there are two most fatal qualities in a man's appearance. First, his handsome appearance, and second, his bulging wallet.
If these two conditions are met, basically when it comes to picking up girls, you can try everything and be invincible. As for your personality, oh, you are handsome and rich, why the hell do you still want to eat shit!
Soon, the waitress brought Du Weiguo a glass of brown-red wine, which looked like whiskey, and said in a charming tone:
"Boss, you are here to play alone. Do you like playing cards?"
Du Weiguo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, rubbed his hands gently, and said in a very cheerful tone:
"Of course, I love playing cards the most, and I'm very lucky. I always win every bet. Beauty, do you have any good places to recommend?"
The beauty smiled charmingly and winked at Du Weiguo. Du Weiguo stood up with contentment, followed her with a glass in hand, and walked to a passage in the bar at the back.
The passage is quite long, about ten meters long. At the end is a heavy iron door. Standing at the door are two burly men with fierce looks and tattoos on their faces.
The waitress twisted her waist and swayed her hips, walked up to the big man, whispered a few words in Siamese, then turned around and greeted Du Weiguo:
"Boss, this is a good place. There are various ways to play. You will definitely be satisfied. You have made a lot of money, but don't forget me."
Du Weiguo laughed loudly, patted her breasts hard, and said in a heroic tone:
"No problem, the money won will be yours!"
"Disgusting~"
The waitress exclaimed, gave Du Weiguo an angry and strange look, twisted her hips and walked away.
At this time, the two big men guarding the door briefly searched Du Weiguo's body to see if there was anyone with him, and then opened the iron door.
One of the big men made a gesture of invitation toward the door. Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows and stepped in easily.
Gambling in Siam is semi-legalized, which means that there are no openly operating casinos, but no one controls this semi-underground casino.
One of the main sources of income for the leading boss in Bangkok's Chinatown is relying on several semi-underground casinos. His casinos have a good reputation and are staffed by experts, so they make a lot of money every day.
After going a long way and returning to the front, Du Weiguo held a wine glass in his hand and walked down the stairs. He glanced at the underground casino intentionally or unintentionally.
The area is not small, roughly rectangular, with a total area of more than 800 square meters. In the center is a ring surrounded by an iron cage. It should be a black boxing gambling event, but no one intends to box at this time.
There are several gambling tables around the iron cage, including poker, Pai Gow, and roulette. Each gambling table is covered with colorful banknotes. It is crowded with people. The gamblers all have red heads and swollen faces, shouting at the top of their lungs.
There are also many young and beautiful waitresses, dressed in cool clothes, shuttling among the crowd like butterflies.
The innermost part of the casino is an office-like area. The door is closed at the moment, and the curtains are still drawn on the windows, so you can't see clearly.
As soon as Du Weiguo walked down the stairs, a beautiful young girl came over, took her arm, and said in English with an eager tone:
"Boss, good evening. My name is Xiaoman. What do you want to play? I heard that you are a poker master?"
Hey, Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows and looked at this girl with interest. It's a bit interesting. Information is synchronized and customer needs are accurately captured.
This girl is probably not yet 20 years old. She has a pretty face and fair skin. She is not the dark complexion common in Siam, but she looks a bit like a Chinese.
Du Weiguo handed her the wine glass casually, took out the sterling silver cigarette case, and took out a cigarette. The girl quickly took out a lighter from her chest and lit it for him.
Du Weiguo slowly exhaled smoke: "Well, tell me, what are the ways to play poker?"
The girl’s English is very fluent, but with a slight Jiangnan accent. She introduced in a clear voice:
"There are 6 poker tables in total, including Big Brother, Blackjack, and Texas Hold'em. Boss, which one do you like?"
Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows: "Xiaoman, are you from China? Or from Jiangnan?"
Du Weiguo spoke Chinese, or Mandarin with a clear accent. Xiao Man was surprised:
"Yes! Boss, my hometown is Wuxi, where are you?"
Du Weiguo didn't want to continue this topic, so he shook his head gently and smiled noncommittally: "Xiaoman, which table has the biggest bets?"
As soon as she heard this, the girl's eyes became brighter and her tone was extremely excited:
"Boss, please come with me."
Du Weiguo curled his lips and asked in a teasing tone:
"Xiaoman, I only have US dollars, is that okay?"
In the casino, the table closest to the office is the blackjack table. Apart from the dealer, there are only 4 seats in total, and now there are only 2 gamblers sitting there.
This table is the most high-end gambling table here. There is no upper limit. The minimum bet amount cannot be less than 2,000 baht each time, which is almost 100 US dollars. It is indeed not small nowadays.
Du Weiguo sat leisurely on an empty chair on the far left. He took out a thick stack of hundred-dollar bills from his jacket pocket, totaling tens of thousands of dollars, and placed them on the gaming table very casually.
Du Weiguo looked at the other two gamblers, a man and a woman, both of whom seemed to be from Nanyang. He took out two U.S. dollars and handed them to the girl, with a dull tone:
"Xiaoman, I may need a translator, are you willing?"
"Of course, I'm happy to help you! Boss."
The girl's face turned red with excitement, and her tone was excited, but at this moment, another man's voice sounded, also speaking in Chinese, low, calm, and pleasant:
"Can I sit here too?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in a white suit sat next to Du Weiguo and gently placed a thick wad of Thai baht on the gaming table.
"Nice to meet you! My name is Gao Jin~"
He also smiled at Du Weiguo very kindly and introduced himself. This young man was about 20 years old. He was handsome and extremely dashing. He was 70% similar to King Li Tianwang in later generations.
"Oh my God! Gao Jin, God of Gamblers?"
