The Divine Eye for Appreciating Treasures: Starting from Escape from Northern Myanmar
Chapter 1216 Cindy in a Dilemma
"The old man was arrested..." Sun Dongliang murmured to himself, his voice full of disbelief and fear.
A series of scenes quickly flashed through his mind: the first encounter with the old man, the conspiracy they planned together, the celebration after each success, and finally the two people stabbing each other in the back... These memories were like sharp blades, leaving bloody marks in his heart.
"Then will I be the next one?" Once this thought came to mind, it was unstoppable like wildfire.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Sun Dongliang's forehead and his hands began to tremble unconsciously.
He was well aware of his relationship with the old man and the role he played in this group.
Once the old man's defenses collapse, he will most likely become the next target.
Fear was like an invisible net that wrapped him tightly. Sun Dongliang realized that he had to make a decision as soon as possible, whether to continue to flee or find an opportunity to surrender and seek leniency.
However, both options were full of unknowns and dangers, causing him to fall into deep contradiction and struggle.
Time passed minute by minute, and the news on TV had long since changed to other content, but Sun Dongliang seemed to be fixed in place, unable to move.
His eyes were empty and confused, and his heart was filled with chaos and despair.
At this fateful moment, he felt more lonely and helpless than ever before.

In the country of maple leaves, on this land gently embraced by the warm autumn sun, there is a hidden private estate far away from the hustle and bustle.
Around the manor, the maple leaves are as bright as fire, dazzling and gorgeous. They seem to be silently telling the changing of seasons and the peaceful years.
The towering walls are made of bluestone slabs, simple and solemn. The walls are covered with green vines, and occasionally a few late-blooming wild flowers peek out, adding a touch of vitality to this solemn place.
On both sides of the gate, two stone lions quietly guard this pure land, their eyes revealing an inviolable majesty.
A path paved with fine pebbles leads visitors deeper into the manor, passing through the well-manicured lawns.
On both sides of the path are various carefully cultivated flowers, some in bud, some in full bloom, exuding a faint fragrance, echoing with the gently swaying maple forest in the distance, forming a breathtaking natural picture.
Inside the manor, there is a warm and peaceful home scene.
In the living room, sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The golden light complements the warm-toned interior decoration, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
There are several colorful abstract art paintings hanging on the wall, adding a touch of artistic atmosphere to this quiet space.
In the center is a large oak coffee table, on which is placed a set of exquisite silver coffee sets, which are emitting curling hot steam, forming a sharp contrast with the newspapers spread out beside it, making it look particularly leisurely and comfortable.
Xia Yuhe was sitting upright on the soft sofa, wearing a simple yet elegant home dress.
Her top is an off-white sweater with delicate lace embroidered on the neckline and cuffs, which is both warm and feminine.
She wore a loose cotton long skirt on her lower body. The hem of the skirt hung gently, swaying gently with her movements, like a blooming lily.
Her long hair was casually tied into a loose bun, with a few strands of hair gently falling in front of her forehead, adding a touch of gentleness and casualness to her.
Holding an open newspaper in his hand, his eyes sometimes focus on the words, sometimes look at the gorgeous maple forest outside the window, with a faint smile on his face, as if the whole world has become gentle in this tranquility.
However, the tranquility was soon broken by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Outside the door, an uninvited guest came hurriedly, her steps were a bit flustered and uneasy, her head was tightly wrapped in a black headscarf, revealing only half of her slightly tired face.
As she got closer, her nervousness and embarrassment became more and more obvious.
Her clothes were a little messy, with a few fallen leaves and dust on her cuffs, as if she had just escaped from a long escape.
When this uninvited guest finally stepped into the living room and met Xia Yuhe's eyes, the air seemed to freeze.
A flash of surprise flashed across Xia Yuhe's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She slowly put down the newspaper in her hand and looked carefully at the sudden visitor from top to bottom.
Finally, at that moment, the visitor seemed unable to bear the pressure of being watched any longer and slowly took off the black headscarf on his head, revealing the face that once frightened countless people - Cindy, the famous drug lord in the Golden Triangle.
Cindy's appearance undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in this peaceful manor.
Although her face was still beautiful, there was a hint of fatigue and vicissitudes in her eyes, which formed a sharp contrast with Xia Yuhe's calmness.
Not only were her clothes covered in dust, but there was also a subtle sense of nervousness, as if every subtle movement revealed her inner struggle and fear.
Xia Yuhe looked at Cindy with mixed feelings.
She had thought about Cindy countless times, but never thought she would meet her in this way.
On this sunny afternoon, people from two different worlds were cleverly arranged by fate in the same space due to some unspeakable destiny.
"Why... are you here?" Xia Yuhe finally spoke, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
Cindy smiled bitterly and did not answer immediately. Instead, she slowly walked to the window and looked at the gorgeous maple forest outside, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
"Sometimes, people have to learn to escape, but escape is not the solution to the problem after all." She said softly, her voice low and hoarse, as if every word carried the weight of the past.
Xia Yuhe listened quietly without interrupting her.
She knew that Cindy's arrival was no accident and there must be an unknown story behind it.
And at this moment, she is willing to be the person Cindy confides in, even though this decision may bring unexpected changes to her life.
Appearing here, looking so embarrassed, the purpose is self-evident.
Some people do bad things and live well, but some people have to wander around the world.
This is the difference between having a backer and having one. If you have a backer, it’s fine even if you make a big fuss. But if you don’t have a backer, you will still be in trouble even if you kill a chicken.
At this moment, Cindy had completely lost her former arrogance and brilliance.
Having fallen to this point, after much thought, only Xia Yuhe's place can be a temporary stay. Anywhere else would cost her her life.
Here, at least Xia Yuhe would give him some shelter because they had worked together before.
