“Right now, things are pretty chaotic over in the Golden Triangle. It’s all because of Kun Sha’s arrest. There are warlords everywhere, and Kun Sha’s former men are trying to rescue him. It’s a mess. There’s the regular army, and now all these warlords are fighting each other.” Tian Yang Yi said, looking at Ye Yao Zu.
“Kun Sha? The one who was arrested last year?” Ye Yao Zu asked, looking at Tian Yang Yi.
Tian Yang Yi nodded.
Kun Sha was the biggest drug lord in the Golden Triangle, and he was captured by the authorities in the Buddhist Pagoda Kingdom last year. They haven’t executed him yet, though, because they’re afraid of his followers.
Don’t let his title of drug lord fool you; Kun Sha had an army of tens of thousands. He had already built up a force of over ten thousand back in 1962.
It’s not surprising that he had so many followers after his arrest.
As the Golden Triangle’s biggest drug lord, he controlled seventy percent of its business.
That’s why the area is so chaotic now.
It’s simple. Before his arrest, Kun Sha controlled seventy percent of the Golden Triangle. Now he’s been locked up for a year, and his followers have been trying to rescue him, but they’ve had no chance. It will be three years before they can get to him.
Now that the Golden Triangle’s biggest drug lord is gone, things have naturally fallen apart. Even though Kun Sha’s influence remains, no one knows when he’ll be freed.
The drug dealers, of course, aren’t content to just sit around waiting. They all want to make a quick buck, so all these small and large drug lords are starting to pop up everywhere.
They’re all trying to build up their own forces and grow their operations, but they haven’t touched Kun Sha’s interests yet. He was only captured a year ago, so his power still scares them. They’re all watching to see if he’ll be able to return. If he’s not, they’ll all turn their attention to his forces and start fighting for his territory and his business.
“This is a chance.” Ye Yao Zu said calmly, his fingers tapping lightly on the table. He was thinking.
The Golden Triangle is in chaos, but there’s also a kind of order. The chaos is the small and big drug lords fighting over territory and business, but the order is that they’re deliberately avoiding Kun Sha’s territory. They don’t dare touch his business or his land.
“Ah Yi, do you think you have a chance to take over Kun Sha’s territory and business if you go to the Golden Triangle?” Ye Yao Zu asked, looking at Tian Yang Yi.
Tian Yang Yi shook his head. “Zu Ge, that place is not easy to control. Those drug lords are ruthless. You might be able to control about half, but any more than that and it’s impossible.”
Hearing Tian Yang Yi’s words, Ye Yao Zu took a deep breath. It was a foreign country, after all, and reaching that level of control would be impressive. It was impossible to completely control the Golden Triangle.
The drug lords there were like grass; cut one down and another would pop up. You could never get rid of them all.
Tian Yang Yi was right, too. Drug lords had no morals. They were capable of anything for money. That was the biggest problem. You couldn’t just suppress them.
Any business with big profits was bound to attract people, and that was even truer for the drug trade.
“Things are still relatively stable in the Golden Triangle. It’s chaotic, but it’s not that bad. It’s just some minor squabbles,” Ye Yao Zu said calmly.
Tian Yang Yi nodded. They were just minor squabbles. The drug dealers wanted to take over Kun Sha’s business, but they didn’t dare. It was just a little bit of fighting here and there.
“The biggest reason is that no one dares touch Kun Sha’s organization and its assets,” Ye Yao Zu said, his eyes gleaming.
“Ah Yi, do you think you can handle the Golden Triangle?” Ye Yao Zu asked, looking at Tian Yang Yi.
“No problem. If I have money and guns, it’s easy to build up a force there.” Tian Yang Yi said calmly. That was no problem for him.
“Good. I’ll give you the money and the guns. Stir things up in the Golden Triangle. The more chaos, the better our chances. You just got back from the Golden Triangle, so rest up, have some fun, and take it easy. Nothing major is changing there. Get ready, and then go.” Ye Yao Zu said, looking at Tian Yang Yi.
Tian Yang Yi nodded.
Then Ye Yao Zu took out sixty Reinforcing Pills.
“These pills will strengthen your body. They’ll make you stronger. Ah Sheng has already taken one. Take the rest back and give them to your siblings. Ten each,” Ye Yao Zu said to Tian Yang Yi.
“Thank you, Zu Ge.” Tian Yang Yi nodded.
“Go on now.”
After Tian Yang Yi and Jimmy left, Ye Yao Zu sat in his office.
“The Golden Triangle. The mainland.” Ye Yao Zu took a deep breath.
The factory on the mainland was already under construction, and it was starting to get on track. All that was left was for Jimmy to expand his sales channels and the money would flow in.
The Golden Triangle would take a year, maybe even two, before it really took off, but the good news was that they had taken the first step. All they had to do was follow the plan.
The hardest part was the beginning. Once they got past that, the rest would be smooth sailing.
“No need to rush. Take it slow. We have time.” Ye Yao Zu murmured. He couldn’t do anything more without a solid foothold in the Golden Triangle.
Chen Hao Nan was on his own.
After meeting with Ye Yao Zu at the teahouse, Chen Hao Nan’s outlook had changed. He had never imagined the situation was so complicated.
Big B was framed and murdered. He died an unfair death. He had been so loyal to Jiang Tian Sheng, only to end up like that. Chen Hao Nan felt bad for him.
“Nan Ge, what should we do now?” Da Tian Er asked Chen Hao Nan.
“Go find Sha Qiang. He must know what Liang Kun did.” Chen Hao Nan said calmly. He felt like he was being led by the nose, but he had no choice.
