Breaking Through the Clouds

late at night.

The door of the monk's room was pushed open with a creak.An old and slightly rickety figure appeared at the end of the corridor, with a gray and slack face expressionless, the cassock dragged on the ground in the blue and white moonlight, and walked straight through the courtyard like a ghost to the back door of the temple.

By the haystack outside the kitchen, the two subordinates had been waiting for a long time, and immediately bowed their heads when they saw him coming: "Boss."

Wu Tun said coldly in Burmese: "Let's go to Daluo."

The two men worked together to lift the haystack, and it turned out to be just a thick layer of turf. With moonlight and a flashlight, a black bulletproof off-road vehicle was hidden under the turf!

The lofty mountains in the dark night are like the iron-encircled mountains surrounding the three thousand worlds in Buddhism, and the village valley where the temple is located is like the Yuzeng Hell surrounded by groups, covering all the sights that people can see.Wu Tun got into the car, squinted his old eyes and looked into the distance of the mountains - he knew that the Shan State police were ambushing around this temple, but no one would have thought that he could escape at night.

Ordinary people driving on this steep mountain road will only end up falling off the cliff, but he is not afraid.

He has been operating in the Gaide mountain area for several years, and he has already opened a secret road in the mountain belly, just for the day when the desperate golden cicada escapes its shell.

The off-road vehicle did not turn on the high beams, and only relying on the unclear moonlight, it drove out of the temple skillfully in the dark.Wu Tun's decree lines are particularly obvious because of his tight lips. One of the two men drove the car, and the other looked out vigilantly with infrared night vision binoculars. After bumping up and down for a while, they finally left the mountain road and drove into the jungle.

The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered in Burmese: "Boss, the police have not moved, we are safe."

Wu Tun nodded slowly.

The subordinates understood, and finally turned on the high beams, illuminating the surrounding jungle——

At this moment, a sharp and long whistle suddenly sounded in the distance!

Several people were shocked at the same time, and their subordinates lost their voices: "Big boss!"

Wu Tun shouted: "Don't stop, listen to my command!"

The off-road vehicle stopped with a sharp friction sound, then suddenly changed direction, stumbled into the dangerous jungle on a completely unfamiliar road.At the same time, in the distance, a boy on the hillside in the forest put down the military night vision binoculars, turned his head and said loudly: "Brother Jie! They diverted to the direction of three o'clock!"

"..." Ajie cursed silently, and jumped into the car: "Chasing!"

Car lights lit up in the dark night, like monsters waking up one after another, opening their huge yellow eyes.Immediately afterwards, there was a roar, and the tires ran over the bushes and thorns, chasing after Wu Tun in the direction of fleeing in a fan shape!

But at this moment, a few voices suddenly came from the depths of the jungle: Da!Da da! ——

Ajie's eyelids twitched in the passenger seat.

In an instant, the flames of the machine gun rang out without warning!

The bullets poured down like a rainstorm, and all the people in the car reflexively rushed forward with their heads in their hands.Bullets, sawdust, and car window glass flew wildly in the darkness where you could not see your fingers. Ajie turned his head against the hail of bullets, only to hear his men ask in amazement: "We were ambushed?!"

A gleam flashed in Ajie's eyes: "No, it's the government army."

After the praying mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole, the Shan State police have been stalking the area for half a month, just to catch them and Wu Tun all at once, so it is not surprising to start.But the strange thing is how did the government army appear here accurately, and why were they able to bite them immediately in the first place? !

At such a critical moment, there is no time to think about this.Ajie bent down and took out the mortar from under the seat, carried it on his shoulder, gritted his teeth and opened the car window, and a shuttle of bullets flew past his hand in an instant.But this killer, who had been licking blood for many years, was not afraid at all. He leaned half of his body out of the car window, and just by listening to the sound, he could instantly distinguish the opposite direction of the most intensive gunfire, and it was a blast!

The towering trees and dust exploded in the sky, the screams of the Shan State military and police were endless, and there was a short gap in the sound of machine guns.

But Ajie didn't give the opponent any chance to breathe.

He narrowed his eyes against the gust of wind that the off-road vehicle was driving, as if he enjoyed the howling of the enemy, and shifted the muzzle at an angle, and there was another loud noise—boom! !

"They fired!" The driver panicked and shouted in Burmese: "Big boss! There are more than one group of people behind!"

The sound of gunfire shook the night, but Wu Tun was not affected at all.This old drug lord over sixty years old is used to fighting, so he was still calm until now: "Hurry up, what a big deal! The ones surrounded by the Shan state police are Wen Shao, and they were plotted against! Let them bite dogs go!"

Before he finished speaking, several rounds of bullets came from unknown directions, smashing the side view mirror into pieces.The driver shook his hands, and the off-road vehicle almost fell into the ditch. Fortunately, the rear tire bounced out at the critical moment, and the whole cart jumped violently, staggering and rushing into the woods.

"Two o'clock direction, towards the sound of water!" Wu Tun scolded: "Listen to my command!"

The all-black off-road vehicle crashed out of the bushes, and the fierce gun battle behind it was far away, and was immediately covered by the roar of the waterfall.The two men didn't know where to go, when suddenly they saw a light spot on the river bank in the distance, it turned out to be a flashlight!

Wu Tun said in a deep voice, "Stop!"

The off-road vehicle was parked by the river beach, Wu Tun didn't wait for anyone to help him, he jumped off by himself, and strode towards the direction where the flashlight was on.Holding guns in his hands, he hurriedly followed, only to see a dark and sturdy middle-aged man carrying a flashlight on the bank of the river, and a motorboat suddenly appeared behind him!

"Uncle Wu Tun," the middle-aged man is obviously a confidant of the Caohua A faction, and he didn't talk nonsense when we met, and asked in a low voice: "I have prepared here according to your instructions. What's going on in the forest?"

Wu Tun's face was gloomy: "Wen Shao really came to block me and was ambushed by the police. Can the boat sail?"

"It can be driven." The middle-aged man paused, and his voice softened slightly: "But only two people can sit."

Wu Tun nodded, without hesitation, took the gun from the middle-aged man's hand, turned around and shot twice!

Before the two bodyguards who escorted him out of the temple could react, one of them was shot in the head and fell to the ground with a plop.

The middle-aged man didn't think it was different, and he didn't even bother to look at the corpse, so he helped Wu Tun onto the motorboat.The pool under the waterfall leads to the big river, and the water flow is turbulent at night. The middle-aged man sat in front of the steering wheel and screamed amidst the sound of rushing water: "The other bank has been arranged! We can respond at any time! Wait for the people on the border guard to make arrangements." , we will set off for Yunnan immediately!"

Wu Tun didn't answer, but the light flickered under his heavy and loose eyelids.

In his whole life, he has been held against his back with a knife, his head with a gun, and he has been encircled and suppressed by several drug dealer forces in the Golden Triangle, and he has also experienced more dangerous and terrifying moments.Every time as long as you save yourself from danger, you will be blessed if you survive a catastrophe. It seems that there is a Buddha protecting you in the dark.

As long as he escapes from Myanmar, there are still a large number of treasures buried in the vast mountains of S province in mainland China, enough for him to spend the rest of his life comfortably.Whether it's the beggar Wen Shao who knew he should be strangled to death at birth, or the Shan State military and police who chase after him like flies, these people don't want to catch a hair on him——

Pfft!

The motorboat finally docked, and his confidant hurriedly climbed up the rocky beach and helped Wu Tun out.The two of them waded to the river bank, only to see the thick ink-like night covering the river, the sharp sound of the wind passing through the mountains and forests was mixed with the sound of the water, and there was no one else.

"...Where's the person?" The confidant looked around and asked suspiciously: "The Yushan gang agreed to meet here, where did they go?"

In the moist river cement and soil atmosphere, there is a faint trace of iron smell.

Wu Tun's heart suddenly sank.

"Yushan! Hello!" The confidant took two steps forward and shouted in a low voice in Burmese: "Uncle Tun has arrived, where are you guys! Yushan!"

Wu Tun stepped forward to pull his confidant, but it was already too late.There was only a soft whistling sound from the muffler, and the confidant's chest burst into blood, and the next second he fell back silently, and the body fell heavily to the ground.

In an instant, Wu Tun knew that his worst premonition had come true: "...Wh, who?!"

bang——

A dozen car lights turned on, and the night turned into day in an instant, and Wu Tun's conditioned reflex blocked his eyes.Immediately afterwards, he only heard a laugh, which was so familiar that the blood was connected, but it was so terrifying that the hair stood on end. In an instant, his entire internal organs froze into ice:

"Long time no see, father."

More than a dozen jeeps surrounded the river bank, with countless bodyguards watching over them.The open space was piled up with corpses, and there were countless broken flesh and limbs. The blood of the henchmen of the "Grass Flower A" faction soaked through every crevice of the rocks, and flowed continuously along the rocky beach to the big river.

And in the center of this sea of ​​blood hell, his son's slender, devilish figure stood against the light, with his hands in his trouser pockets.

Wu Tun gasped for breath: "How did you know... how did you know that I would walk along the river?!..."

Immediately afterwards, his eyes froze, and his voice stopped abruptly.

——A handsome young man stood side by side with the K of Spades. The cloak on his shoulders wrapped his body, revealing only a pair of thin and pale hands folded in front of him.

Wu Tun knew the answer.

"I haven't had time to tell you yet," Wen Shao patted Jiang Ting's shoulder, smiled and said to the ashen-faced Wu Tun, "Now he is 'my' red heart Q."

·

The gate of the village was opened, and the bodyguard pushed Wu Tun forward by his collar, and the old drug lord staggered and fell on the wooden floor of the main room.

"When I came back from America with the blue-gold formula six years ago, I thought your time was over."

The torches lit up one after another from all sides of the main room, like fire dragons, illuminating the huge space like daylight.Wu Tun staggered up from the ground, only to see Wen Shao leisurely passed through many bodyguards, and stood in front of him, like a young demon crawling out of hell from the ground bathed in black blood.

"But I didn't expect that your people were able to steal the formula, and even researched a simpler synthesis method. That was the second time my life plan was interrupted by you after I learned that Red Heart Q worked for you."

"..." Wu Tun raised his head tremblingly, Jiang Ting was expressionless, surrounded by two bodyguards, standing two steps behind Wen Shao.

"Fortunately, I still have a chance to correct this mistake." Wen Shao paused slightly, and said with a smile, "It's like winning back the Red Queen."

"I won't tell you the synthesis formula," Wu Tun gritted his teeth tightly: "You life-threatening ghost, early death boy, don't dream about me! Even if I die, I will still be the boss of the Golden Triangle, so don't try to replace me! "

"The Golden Triangle is gone. The governments of Southeast Asian countries are staring at that area. Poppy cultivation can no longer bring huge profits as it did decades ago. Just like alkaloids will eventually be replaced by synthetics, new mind-controlling drugs Gradually rising, the old lion will one day come to an end."

Wu Tun opened his mouth to scold, Wen Shao leaned over slightly, and whispered in his ear: "If you hadn't trained Jiang Ting to check and balance me, maybe I would have given you a good old age...but you took me away from me The only brother."

The torch crackled, Jiang Ting remained silent, and his eyelashes drooped quietly.

Wen Shao looked down at Wu Tun pityingly: "You will tell."

He turned around and walked in front of Jiang Ting, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and used the handle of the knife to brush a few strands of Jiang Ting's temple hair behind his ears.He always has the kind of patience that doesn't fit in with the surrounding environment. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, countless fires shine in his abyss-like eyes, and there is a trace of tenderness in a trance:

"Go ahead and prove it to me."

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Ting took the dagger from his hand and stepped forward.

"What are you doing? How dare you do it?!" Wu Tun panicked: "Red Heart Q! Do you remember that I was the one who brought you out of that kennel, only you can't—"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was pinned to the ground by several bodyguards. Wu Tun's eyes were tearing apart, and he saw Jiang Ting half-kneeling on one knee, holding down his left index finger.

"I remember," Jiang Ting said lightly, "but I found someone more worthy of allegiance."

Not far away, the K of Spades turned around with a smile.

In the next second, Jiang Ting raised the knife, and the tip of the knife precisely pierced Wu Tun's fingers, prying his fingernails away!

"Ahhh-"

The screams resounded throughout the hall, Jiang Ting was unmoved, his bloodstained hands pressed Wu Tun's middle finger, and inserted the tip of the knife into the nail cover:

"Where is the synthetic formula?"

·

back room.

Wen Shao stood by the window, and the intermittent screams in the distant hall stopped and rang again.After an unknown amount of time, footsteps finally came from behind him. Looking back, he saw Jiang Ting crossing the threshold holding a bloody dagger, and said briefly, "I cut one of his arms into a skeleton, and he confessed."

"Oh?"

"The industrial synthesis site is in a village in Yaoshan, Province S. The new synthesis formula and a large amount of 'blue gold' stocks are sealed in an underground factory, which is Wu Tun's secret treasure. Your people have written down the specific address. If we can make it in time, You can leave immediately tonight."

Wen Shao was noncommittal, and beckoned, "Come here."

"..."

Jiang Ting stepped forward and stood still, and then Wen Shao pinched his wrist and raised his bloody right hand, holding the dagger, to his eyes.

"Since a long time ago, I have not felt anything about the people and things around me. Sadness, joy, longing, anticipation, these childish emotions are like blank curtains. Psychologists say that the lack of emotional projection belongs to antisocial personality, literature People use phrases such as "natural gift" or "gift from God" to explain the source of emotion, but in fact, a little chemical powder can easily control the secretion of dopamine in the human brain. It’s just a matter of an injection. I began to know that if there is a god in the world, then the god should be in the form of white powder.”

"But the chemically synthesized god can't control me," Wen Shao looked deeply at Jiang Ting, and said softly, "Only you once let me get in touch with that...feeling."

They looked at each other under the moonlight, and Jiang Ting asked calmly, "How do you feel, guilt? Regret?"

Wen Shao was silent for a long time, and the life-saving rope that hung in the air in front of the two children more than 20 years ago flew across the void again in an instant.

"There are also expectations and joy." He finally said, leaning on Jiang Ting's bloody knuckles to his lips, and pressed a kiss lightly.

It was like the breath of death, or the scales of a poisonous snake, passing by the surface of the skin.

"Your health hasn't recovered, so you won't be leaving tonight." Wen Shao said gently, "Tomorrow we will set off to cross the border from Yunnan to Yaoshan, Province S, via Jianning."

Jiang Ting looked the same, and smiled: "Yes."
