The storm of electronic fraud, the day I was deceived into northern Myanmar
Chapter 580 Steady
In the spacious box, the tense atmosphere seemed to solidify into substance, and every second passed seemed extremely long.
I faced Tang Zhilong, my heartbeat was accelerating unbridled, and every beat seemed to be beating on my chest.
He leisurely lit a cigar and took a slow puff. The smoke lingered in the air, adding an air of mystery and danger to the confrontation.
Finally, breaking the silence, I took out a box of Yuxi from my pocket, lit one, and took a deep breath. The familiar taste of nicotine calmed me down a little.
"Boss Tang, I can help you find the person you want, but I need time." I tried to make my voice sound more confident.
Tang Zhilong looked at me quietly, his expression didn't change much, but those eyes seemed to read my every thought.
"How long?" he asked calmly, without any wavering in his voice.
I felt uneasy and quickly calculated all possible plans and time in my mind.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and said, "One month."
As soon as the words left my mouth, I could almost hear my own heartbeat.
He suddenly laughed loudly, and the sound echoed in the spacious office, which seemed a bit harsh.
"A month? Are you kidding me?" His laughter made me shudder.
I took a deep breath of cigarette and tried to stay calm: "Boss Tang, Ma Xin has gone to San Francisco. Even if I send people to chase him now, it will still take time. Considering the various situations that may arise in the middle, one month is all I can give The shortest possible time." I tried my best to sound firm and reasonable.
Tang Zhilong's laughter stopped suddenly, and he was silent for a moment, seeming to weigh my words.
At this moment, my inner anxiety and tension reached its peak.
I don't know if he already knows Ma Xin's true situation. I'm putting everything on the line!
But judging from his reaction, he seemed not to know that Ma Xin was dead.
This made me feel relieved. At least at this point, I still have some room for maneuver.
The truth that Maxin is dead is like a sword of Damocles hanging above my head. I must cover it up carefully until I find a way to escape from this predicament!
"Since you said one month, our deal can only be extended for one month." Tang Zhilong said lightly, with an undoubted confidence in his tone.
When I heard him say this, my heart sank suddenly, as if there was a heavy weight pressing on my chest, making it difficult for me to breathe.
But soon, I adjusted my breathing and forced myself into a calm state.
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind. I must take control of the situation and not let Tang Zhilong see any clues.
Exhaling a puff of smoke, I raised the corners of my mouth and smiled indifferently: "Of course that's no problem, but I can't guarantee that the Indonesian side can wait for so long."
My voice was deliberately kept light, despite the turmoil inside me.
Tang Zhilong's brows furrowed, obviously my words touched some of his thoughts.
I took the opportunity to make another move: "Boss Tang must also know very well that Indonesia is in urgent need of supplies. One month may be a life-saving straw for them, or it may be a long wait. During this period, no one dares to I guarantee that nothing will happen. Boss Tang is a person who sees the overall situation and will not miss a rare opportunity because of his children’s affair..."
Every word I spoke was like a carefully arranged chess piece, trying to gain an advantage in this dangerous game.
At first, I was led by Tang Zhilong, mainly because I was not sure whether he knew Ma Xin's true situation.
Now, as the situation became clearer, I could no longer let him take the initiative.
After hearing my words, Tang Zhilong fell into deep thought.
A complicated expression flashed across his face, as if he was weighing the truth or falsehood of my words.
After about a minute, he suddenly laughed loudly, and his voice echoed in the spacious box: "Haha...Mr. Yang is right. Indeed, important things cannot be delayed because of a woman. Since Mr. Yang has said so, then Let’s follow this plan.”
Hearing what he said, I was secretly relieved, but I still maintained a calm smile on the surface.
Next, we began to discuss the specific details of the transaction, and each arrangement was carefully considered.
In the end, both parties reached an agreement: In the early stage, we will act as an intermediary to introduce Indonesian channels to Tang Zhilong to ensure the smooth progress of the transaction.
After both parties stabilize, we will slowly withdraw and leave Indonesian affairs entirely to Tang Zhilong.
Tang Zhilong seemed very satisfied with this arrangement.
This approach not only protects the interests of both parties, but also lays a solid foundation for subsequent cooperation.
As for what the situation will be like a month from now, it’s still impossible to predict.
This means that there is only one month left to deal with Li Wenchang.
If a breakthrough cannot be found within this period of time, all efforts will be in vain.
Although this negotiation seemed peaceful on the surface, it was full of temptations and trade-offs at every moment.
After the meal, the air was filled with the lingering twilight and the aroma of food.
Originally, Wang Quanfu and I planned to drive directly back to Pathum Thani.
However, Tang Zhilong’s sudden proposal changed everything. He insisted on keeping us here, claiming that there were some “good things” that he wanted to show us in the evening.
From the mysterious smile he showed inadvertently, I roughly guessed what the "good things" he was referring to were.
Since he said so, we couldn’t refuse, so we had to agree to stay in Chiang Mai.
After settling in the hotel arranged by Tang Zhilong for us, I suggested that Wang Quanfu and I go out for a walk to change our mood.
We walked out of the hotel lobby and blended into the streets of Chiang Mai.
At first, we casually chatted about everyday things while watching our surroundings vigilantly to make sure no one was following us.
After confirming safety, we found a cafe hidden on the corner of the street and chose a corner seat to sit down.
The decoration of this cafe is simple and elegant, and the faint aroma of coffee and soft music interweave to create a rare peaceful atmosphere.
"What's going on with that woman named Ma Xin?" After Wang Quanfu sat down, he went straight to the point without going around in circles.
I briefly told him what happened. After hearing this, he was stunned for a moment: "You said Aren killed that woman?"
I nodded: "Yeah."
"Then you also promised Tang Zhilong to help him find the person in a month?"
I spread my hands and said, "Otherwise, what do you want me to do? Did you just tell Tang Zhilong directly that that woman has been killed by us?"
Wang Quanfu sighed and stopped talking.
I continued: "The matter has come to this, and it is useless to talk so much. As long as Li Wenchang is solved in the next month, everything will be easy to handle. As for Tang Zhilong, we are waiting for the deal with the Indonesians. After things stabilize, I don’t believe he would really fall out with us for a woman.”
"Li Wenchang is not that easy to deal with." Wang Quanfu said worriedly.
I smiled and said, "No matter how hard it is to deal with, you have to deal with it. Do you think you have any way out now?"
He exhaled and didn't say anything more, but judging from his expression, he seemed to regret boarding our pirate ship.
But so what, he has no choice now. If the boat capsizes, he won't be able to survive alone!
