"Ask the police in Siam for help!"
Ma Haotian was stunned for a moment, and then chose silence.
If given the choice, he certainly knew that going to the Siam police would risk exposure.
But now it was about Su Jianqiu's life and death, and he was willing to risk exposure.
Zhang Ziwei opened his mouth, but thinking of Su Jianqiu, he also chose silence.
"That's it, I will contact the Siam police tomorrow. The two of you will leave here tonight, find a place to live by yourself, and then contact us by phone."
After Li Wenbin made his decision, he didn't hesitate anymore and directly arranged what the two of them would do.
"Sir Li, what do you mean? We want to be with you."
When Ma Haotian heard Li Wenbin's words, he immediately became anxious.
"This is an order. Besides, it's not like you two don't do anything. On the contrary, my safety depends entirely on you."
Li Wenbin also knew that it was very dangerous for him to seek help from the Siam police.
Not to mention anything else, in Pattaya, people who guessed dared to hang out the corpses of enemies they killed, but the police did nothing. To say that no one was on their side would simply insult everyone's intelligence.
But now Li Wenbin has no choice.
Although Zhang Pin promised to let Bourne pay attention, Li Wenbin knew it since he refused to follow Li Wenbin without hesitation.
Now that Su Jianqiu has been exposed, if Byrne pays attention to this matter, he may also be exposed.
As for how to find out about Su Jianqiu without being exposed, Li Wenbin didn't have much hope.
The only thing he cares about now is that after Bourne meets Chachai and knows where he is hiding, he asks the Siam police to give him some support, and he goes directly into Chachai's place to save people.
As for whether the Siam police would send someone to help him, Li Wenbin decided to use some skills and connections.
His father, Li Shutang, was the first Chinese chief detective. Although he has retired, he still has many connections in the small country in the southeast.
As a second-generation rich man, Li Wenbin has one skill he uses well, and that is his money-making ability.
In fact, it was just as Li Wenbin planned.
The next day, when he walked into the gate of Pattaya Police Station, Pattaya Operations Department Chief Chasu, who had been notified early, was already ready.
"Welcome Superintendent Li to Pattaya, why don't you tell me your itinerary in advance so that I can arrange for police officers to pick you up at the airport."
Chasu’s enthusiasm is justified.
Li Wenbin used his connections yesterday to directly donate US$1 million to the Pattaya Police Station.
Coupled with the special status of Hong Kong Island in the southeast and some connections between Li Wenbin and his father, naturally some things were settled quickly.
Of course, Li Wenbin was also very smart. He guessed that the Siam police might have an informant on the Eight-faced Buddha, so he deliberately concealed the real plan and only took out the documents that Zhang Pin had previously used on the grounds of official business.
The excuse was to arrest several criminals who fled from Hong Kong Island.
He planned to fool these people first, and then when he actually took action, when he arrived at the scene, he believed that these people would have no choice.
The plan Li Wenbin chose in a hurry naturally had loopholes.
But in order to rescue Su Jianqiu one day earlier, he could only grit his teeth and do so.
"Thank you, Colonel Zhasu, we still need your help this time."
Unlike Hong Kong Island, Siam is actually under military control, so many senior police officers have officer positions.
Many police officers were even hired directly from the military.
Of course, it doesn't mean that one's combat effectiveness will be stronger if one's identity is related to the military.
They have an extra identity just to receive an extra subsidy.
Because Li Wenbin wanted to guard against the Siamese police, he did so in the name of assisting in the investigation and arrest.
"It doesn't matter. Does Superintendent Li know where the suspect is now? How much support do we need?"
The smile on Zha Su's face was very thick, very similar to the reception Li Wenbin and others encountered when they went to criticize in the past few days.
"I need forty elite police officers, armed with rifles!"
Li Wenbin spent money, and since the situation was urgent, he stated his request without being polite to Zha Su.
And this number is actually too small for him.
Chachai is in the flour business for the Eight-faced Buddha, and this kind of business can be said to be hugely profitable.
In such a chaotic place, there is no shortage of people with money.
But Li Wenbin also knew that the effect of one million US dollars could only go so far.
If you want more, you will definitely need to pay more.
Besides, the Pattaya Police Station is just a police station after all. If they were asked to send more people, they probably wouldn't be able to recruit them, and they wouldn't be able to agree.
Even if you can agree, it will definitely be an astronomical sum.
Li Wenbin couldn't afford the price either.
After all, the rich second generation also has its limits.
For Li Wenbin, one million is his limit.
"Forty people?"
When Zhasu heard that so many people were needed, he frowned subconsciously.
Originally, there was no need for him to come forward to deal with this kind of matter, but someone found him through his relationship with the mayor of Pattaya.
And he also donated one million US dollars to one of his security equipment companies for this purpose.
Due to the mayor's face and one million US dollars, Zha Su originally thought that Li Wenbin might be a rich second generation, so he did this for credit and face.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain that Li Wenbin had to spend his own money and connections to do this for a work matter.
So in Zha Su's view, the most extreme thing to do is to catch a few fugitives or conduct fraud.
But now that he heard Li Wenbin's request, he still didn't react.
If you really want to catch and escape, even if you need more people, you don't need to be equipped with rifles at all.
Because the rifle must be used to deal with the enemy's resistance to arrest.
There are certainly many people in Siam who dare to resist arrest in front of forty heavily armed police officers, and there are quite a few of them.
But most people are legal, neither Zhasu nor Li Wenbin would mess with each other.
In addition, there is another group that deserves to be dealt with in this way.
That is the flour sellers, or landowners, from the Delta.
If Siam had the ability, it would have taken action against the Delta a long time ago. Unfortunately, because its neighbors are restraining each other, and there are even people internally who are entangled in issues of interest, even if Siam is very determined, it is unable to do anything.
So after Zhasu heard Li Wenbin's request, he subconsciously wanted to refuse it directly.
But he soon changed his mind and immediately started thinking hesitantly again.
Li Wenbin didn't know that the Eight-faced Buddha had been able to dominate Siam for so many years, and he had already connected up and down Siam.
As the chief of the Pattaya Police Operations Department, Chasu held such a key position. If the other party didn't take care of it, where would Chasu, who was responsible for the transaction for the Eight-faced Buddha, settle here.
Before Li Wenbin came, he had actually thought about the fact that the Eight-faced Buddha had an informant in the Siam police, so he deliberately used his connections to directly meet with the senior police officials.
The purpose is naturally to avoid the spread and leakage of news.
As a result, his luck was obviously terrible, and he went directly to the Eight-faced Buddha's own people.
"This second-generation rich man from Hong Kong Island doesn't know how to deal with the Eight-faced Buddha. He is simply here to give achievements to the Eight-faced Buddha."
Zha Su had already sentenced Li Wenbin to death in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be calm.
Because Zhasu thought of something that killed two birds with one stone.
Because of his high position, the Eight-faced Buddha began to corrupt him very early, but on the surface the relationship between the two parties remained secret.
Zhasu's superficial skills are quite good on weekdays. From time to time, he will suppress the people who are Chasuai, and even deliberately recruit a few other forces to oppose each other, thus showing that he has an innocent relationship with the Eight-faced Buddha.
But after this incident, the situation will definitely be exposed.
After all, Li Wenbin was definitely dead, and Zha Su was not prepared to give him a chance to survive.
So he planned to collect the other party's money and then send the other party to die.
And since Li Wenbin has the connections to find the mayor, Zha Su will definitely be exposed after this incident.
In Siam, the impact of identity exposure doesn't really matter, it's just that the reputation will be slightly worse.
Zhasu has made enough money, so naturally he doesn't care about the criticism.
More importantly, Li Wenbin's arrival gave him a good excuse.
In the Pattaya Police Department, there has always been a force inserted by the mayor to restrain him, preventing him from fully controlling the power of the entire Pattaya Police Department.
This time Li Wenbin came to ask for help, and the other party's target was the Eight-faced Buddha. This simply gave Chasu a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.
"With so many people, especially forty rifles, a higher-level signature may be required."
Zhasu pretended to be hesitant on his face, and the meaning behind his words was very clear.
The other party wants so many people and so many guns, so they have to pay more.
"Yes, we will donate another one million US dollars afterwards!"
When Li Wenbin heard Zha Su's words, he was silent for a moment and decided to agree first.
"No, you have to see it before signing."
Zhasu did not agree. He was joking. As long as Li Wenbin took action, he would definitely die. He would not be able to see a penny of the promise afterward.
Therefore, if you want to squeeze more money from the other party, you must pay first and then deliver the goods.
"No, if it's really not possible, then just give me people, and I will figure out the weapons myself."
Li Wenbin was not stupid. He naturally saw that Zha Su wanted to continue to make money from himself.
But unfortunately, the previous one million was already all his savings.
If you want him to take out money now, not to mention whether he is willing or not, the key is to have money.
As for asking other people or the police to ask for it, this kind of private bribery is simply unrealistic.
Even the words he said about a million dollars later were actually just perfunctory to Chasu. When he rescued Su Jianqiu from Chachai, he would definitely leave Siam without saying a word.
The experiences of the past few days have reminded Li Wenbin that it is impossible to deal with the Eight-faced Buddha with just a few people.
Li Wenbin grew up on Hong Kong Island. Even though the southeast side is very close, he watches the news every day, but watching the news and experiencing it personally are different.
No matter how chaotic Hong Kong Island is and how many criminals there are, as long as the Hong Kong Island Police Force is determined and the more than 30,000 police officers work together, no criminals of any kind will be able to escape justice.
Therefore, Li Wenbin has an illusion. He has always believed that it is natural and easy for the police to crack down on criminals as long as they are willing.
But after coming to Siam, he was really taught a lesson.
The Eight-faced Buddha has escaped from the low-level criminal business.
More importantly, even though the so-called countries in the southeast seem to be more complete than Hong Kong Island, this completeness is different.
No matter how small Hong Kong Island is, no matter how it belongs to a colony, it still has a backer.
Therefore, when encountering problems or enemies that cannot be resolved, Hong Kong Islanders can choose to transfer the conflict.
It's up to the next level to deal with it.
And the higher level people do have this strength, and there is no force that would not give them face.
But it's different here in the southeast.
When the people and forces here encounter enemies that are stronger than themselves or forces that they cannot deal with, they simply cannot find anyone who can support them and solve the enemy.
So Li Wenbin simply took a different approach and chose the method of only requiring people and no equipment.
With white-faced dealers running rampant in Siam, it’s no wonder that things like weapons are rampant.
As long as Li Wenbin is willing, it is not difficult to find forty rifles.
He had even thought about taking advantage of the Siam police and going to an arms dealer to borrow equipment.
Anyway, he just wanted to rescue Su Jianqiu, and he wasn't worried about any bad reactions afterwards.
Even if there was any problem, he couldn't care less about the impact.
"Hey, if you say this, then let's do it later. I will definitely provide you with the personnel and equipment."
When Zhasu saw that Li Wenbin didn't take the bait, he didn't care.
He was also afraid that his asking price was too harsh, what if Li Wenbin came to his senses and no longer wanted to deal with the Eight-faced Buddha.
So he simply chose to compromise and deliberately used post-payment to confuse Li Wenbin.
"Tony Zhen, you will lead four teams to the gun room to collect equipment and fully cooperate with the actions of Superintendent Li from Hong Kong Island."
With just one phone call, Zha Su dispatched all the senior colonels assigned by the mayor and all the other party's confidants to Li Wenbin.
Siam's economy has been getting better and better recently, and the mayor has begun to pay attention to some industries that affect serious investment.
The other party specially sent Tony Zhen, who came out of the special forces, and wanted to use the other party's influence to gradually replace Chasu's position in the police station.
Only half a year after Tony came to Pattaya, he attacked several white-faced bookmakers, including Chachai's forces, who were also surrounded and suppressed several times by the opponent, thus losing troops and generals.
If not, Su Jianqiu probably wouldn't have survived.
Originally, Zhasu was still having a headache about how to deal with Tony Zhen. After all, the opponent was coming in a menacing manner and he had the support of the mayor behind him.
He had negotiated with Chachai before and wanted to use some special means to make the other party disappear humanely.
But Tony is really resourceful and upright, and never does anything that could easily put himself in danger.
Therefore, Zhasu failed to get rid of the opponent despite setting up traps many times, and instead he lost a lot of secrets.
