Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Pattaya is a place where the daytime and nighttime are two completely different things.

Thailand is known as a country that bans pornography, and everyone knows that the slogans are loud and clear. Pattaya is a paradise for men at night.

Not only is the sex industry thriving, but the unique ladyboy shows are also one of the most eye-catching and distinctive industries here.

If Thailand had not reinstated marijuana as a prohibited substance, Pattaya's drug industry would have been even more rampant.

Two years ago, it was legalized, and people were able to gather in the streets to party.

This year, the control measures have been tightened again, which has had some effect, but it is still easy to see this thing at night in Pattaya.

Moreover, this area is also home to multiple gangs, engaging in vandalism, looting, and arson, and these are all international criminal organizations.

Similarly, this place is also inevitably affected by the intervention of forces from the northern Myanmar industrial park.

During the day, it's an internationally renowned resort area with police on duty, and the atmosphere is peaceful.

At night, it becomes a "paradise of sin".

Of course, it cannot be denied that many tourists come specifically for this "sinful paradise".

However, Yang Mi's assistant and her friends, a group of young girls, were definitely not there for these things. They were more interested in enjoying their vacation and travel, eating, drinking, having fun, and taking photos.

Jiang Beicheng reminded Yang Mi of something.

Yang Mi felt that this matter should be taken seriously; better safe than sorry.

After all, he came out with her.

My assistant has been by my side for so many years, and she's practically one of my close friends, so I feel it's my duty to be responsible for her.

Lying in Jiang Beicheng's arms, he immediately made a phone call to his assistant.

Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief when the call connected.

I gave her a few words of advice.

After hanging up the phone, she turned over and hugged Jiang Beichen with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, you're so thoughtful. Thank you for thinking of me."

Jiang Beicheng stroked her thigh and said, "When I'm traveling, the last thing I want to hear is news of my compatriots getting into trouble."

Yang Mi raised her head, her red lips curving slightly at Jiang Beicheng's lower lip. "Mr. Jiang is a man of great love."

He started flattering her and then began to flirt.

If in the previous instances Yang Mi used her body to seek validation and make Jiang Beicheng think of her more, then this time Cong was completely releasing her own desires.

Women need this kind of life too.

Young Master Jiang certainly had exceptional talent in this regard, leaving me with endless aftertaste.

……

"I can probably only accompany you this far. Tomorrow I have to go back to Bangkok with Sister Mi to film a movie."

Yang Mi's assistant and her friends said goodbye after finishing their drinks at the open-air bar.

Somewhat reluctant.

The main reason is that this kind of opportunity is too rare, and I didn't get to have enough fun with my sisters.

Hug them one by one.

"It's okay, we can meet up again next time. Remember to ask Sister Mi for her autograph for us."

A few friends also packed their things, paid the bill, and went out to hail a taxi.

As soon as I reached the roadside, I was surrounded by several foreign men.

"what?"

The girls looked puzzled, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Several men reached out and grabbed their hands.

The girls started to struggle with them. "We called the police."

He took out his phone while warning the men.

The foreign man remained unmoved; instead, a smile appeared on his face.

He dragged several girls into the alleyway on the side of the street.

Despite their loud shouts, passersby only glanced at them and basically paid no attention.

Or rather, it has become commonplace.

Knowing their backgrounds, I dared not provoke them, fearing I would get myself into trouble.

Most people even come at night to hang out with these evil forces.

Seeing that the men were becoming increasingly aggressive and rude, Yang Mi's assistant realized that she and her sisters might be in big trouble.

At that moment, the person who came to her mind was not her boss Yang Mi, but Jiang Beicheng.

She was by Yang Mi's side, so of course she knew about the relationship between Yang Mi and Jiang Beicheng. Even if she hadn't seen what happened in bed with her own eyes, she could guess.

This kind of thing is all too common in the entertainment industry.

The assistant and the boss signed a confidentiality agreement, so no one will come forward to expose these things, otherwise they would be bankrupt.

The reason she thought of Jiangbei City was because Yang Mi had mentioned that Jiangbei City had deep connections in Thailand and that it was invited by the royal family to come to Thailand this time.

My visit to Pattaya was at the invitation of the Xie family, Thailand's richest family.

In desperation, this was the only important person she could think of.

We can't count on the police.

Suddenly, he said in English, "No! You can't treat us like this. I'm Mr. Jiang's friend."

Did you know? Mr. Jiang, a distinguished guest of the royal family, a distinguished guest of the Xie family…”

She didn't know if moving Jiangbei City out would be of any use.

I wonder if these foreigners even know who Mr. Jiang is?

But there really isn't any other way right now.

Several foreigners shook their heads and smiled, looking indifferent.

When we got close to the alley, I simply hoisted them onto my shoulders.

"I am Mr. Jiang's friend."

"Mr. Jiang has considerable influence in Thailand..."

The assistant continued shouting.

The group of foreigners didn't listen, but the young men smoking on the street did.

"Mr. Jiang?"

"Jiangbei City?"

"No way, his friend didn't bring bodyguards?"

"I also think it's impossible. Who is Jiang Beicheng? Could he be friends with these ordinary girls?"

"do not care?"

"Should we call the boss? If he really is a friend from Jiangbei City, we'll have done a great service."

"I think it's okay."

One of the young men stubbed out his cigarette and made a phone call to the boss in Pattaya.

"Boss, we ran into an Australian gang on the street."

"They've started fighting?"

"no!"

"No, what are you talking about!"

"There's something I need to tell you. We're not entirely sure yet, but it seems that the girls the Australian gang kidnapped tonight were Mr. Jiang's friends?"

"Who?"

The boss immediately perked up, "Which Mr. Jiang, who took down Jiangbei City in the park?"
Friends from the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce?

"Probably. She kept mentioning Mr. Jiang's name, probably trying to intimidate the Australian gangsters with Jiang Beicheng. That's why I called you. I think people from other factions would also be sensitive if they heard Mr. Jiang's name. Boss, what do you think we should do about this?"

"Let's calm down first, I'll consult with Boss Du."

The "Boss Du" he mentioned is Du Hao, who is known as the "Du Yuesheng of Thailand".

The king of Thailand's grey market.

Calling it a "gray industry" is a way of beautifying it.

In fact, they've done almost everything that's morally reprehensible and immoral.

The incident caused a huge social impact when a girl died during a night out at his karaoke room. If it had been a Thai girl or a girl from another Southeast Asian country, she probably would have just died and that would have been the end of it.

Just a little tidiness will do.

After all, Du Hao has powerful backers protecting him.

However, this girl was a tourist from the University of Tokyo, so the situation is different.

This matter has attracted the attention of Thailand's top officials and even the royal family.

Thai police reacted swiftly, arresting Duhao and seizing his properties.

When the whole society thought he would be severely punished by the Thai court, he was declared innocent and released at the beginning of this year.

The court cited insufficient evidence as the reason.

The most ridiculous thing is that, according to the investigation, Du Hao's personal assets amounted to only tens of thousands of Thai baht.

Who believes?

This is the king of Thailand's grey market, and his wealth is self-evident.

His acquittal further proves one thing: in Thailand, money really can buy anything.

It was later revealed that his father-in-law was a high-ranking police officer, and even the Prime Minister spoke up for him, labeling him an "outstanding entrepreneur."

This explains why Jiangbei City was able to establish an armed force on the Thai border. They have money and connections!

Pattaya, an international tourist city, is also one of Duhou's bases.

They've been involved in almost every lucrative gray-market activity.

This will naturally lead to friction with other forces in the area.

The most notorious gang in Pattaya is the Australian Mafia.

Phuket is a stronghold of the Russian mafia.

Du Hao and these two gangs frequently clashed.

In Pattaya, Australian gangs may disregard other forces, but they dare not rob or touch Du Hao's people or businesses.

When Du Hao received the phone call late at night, he was at home playing cards with several local officials.

"Mr. Du, our people have met Mr. Jiang in Pattaya."

Du Hao frowned instantly, "Jiangbei City?"

"It should be him. Several girls said he was Mr. Jiang's friend..." The person in charge in Pattaya told Du Hao everything his subordinates had seen.

Du Hao's first thought was that Jiang Beicheng had taken a few girls to Pattaya for a good time.

But something felt off. How could the girl next to Mr. Jiang be so easily kidnapped?
"Boss Du, are you still there? How should we handle this? Those guys in Australia showed no mercy to the young girl. If you're going to make a move, you should do it sooner rather than later."

"Let's take a gamble. We've been fighting the Australian mafia for years, so what's one more time?" Du Hao reminded him. "Bring all your weapons; we can't afford to lose our men."

"I'll arrange it right away, Mr. Du."

……

"Hey bro, what do we do with these girls?"

Several young girls were taken to the hideout of an Australian gang.

They were tied up and squatting on the ground.

No one dared to yell; yelling would result in a slap or an electric shock.

The man sitting in the middle, smoking, looked at the girls with a smile. "Enjoy yourselves tonight, and we'll sell them off tomorrow. Whoever pays the most gets the money."

"What are they talking about?"

"They're going to sell us out!"

"More..."

"what else?"

"powerful……"

Several girls discussed nervously, and those with weaker stress tolerance burst into tears instantly.

As a result, I got slapped again.

She covered her face with her hair and sat on the ground sobbing.

I feel like I've messed up.

"Boss, Du Hao's men are here."

The brother on guard at the door suddenly ran in to report.

The Australian gang leader stubbed out his cigarette. "How many men are here?"

“Many, and they all brought their weapons.”

The group exchanged puzzled glances. What were Du Hao's men planning to do tonight?
The leader glanced at the several girls who had been kidnapped, guessing that Du Hao's men had come for these girls.

Recently, no one in Australia has invaded Duhou's territory or done anything to harm his interests.

Their sudden visit late at night, accompanied by so many people and their equipment, clearly indicates a strong purpose.

"I'm going to see their boss."

The Australian gang leader stood up and said.

His men went with him, also bringing their weapons.

Only two or three people were left in the room to watch over the girls.

What were they just saying?

"It seems another group of people has come to cause them trouble."

"Are you here to save us?"

"do not know."

"..."

The girls seemed to see hope again.

Yang Mi's assistant remained clear-headed and guessed that it was because she called out "Mr. Jiang" that it had an effect.

Even if it wasn't someone sent by Mr. Jiang, it's still a very good opportunity to escape. Once the two forces start fighting, they can take the opportunity to run away.

Avoiding the gaze of foreigners, she whispered to her sisters about her escape plan.

……

"Sir, what are you doing? Bringing people to our headquarters is very unfriendly. Can I take that as a provocation?"

The Australian gang leader came out, looking displeased, and shrugged at Du Hao's men.

The person in charge in Pattaya didn't say much to him and didn't bother to find someone to translate, as it would be a waste of time.

Raise your hand.

The brothers behind him immediately brandished their weapons.

“Girl, girl, you know?” The Pattaya chief pointed to the Australian leader’s chest and said, “We’ll take her away tonight.”

"No! That's not how business is done. You've broken the rules."

"Damn it, here, Boss Du is the rule. Shall we have another bloodbath?"

"The Pattaya chief said aggressively."

Mentioning the last shootout, the Australian gang leader gritted his teeth, recalling the devastating losses.

The entire army was almost wiped out.

If other forces hadn't intervened in time, fearing that the Du Hao family would become too powerful and have no future in Pattaya, the Australian gang would probably have been driven out of Pattaya long ago.

This is also the source of Du Hao's confidence.

"Give me an answer, are you going to give them the person or not?"

“No…, Sir…”

"I'll fuck your mother!"

The Pattaya leader fired a shot directly at the Australian's face.

The brothers behind him all rushed in.

Let's not talk about it anymore.

Steal people.

Australians watched as they took the person away.

"Who the hell dares to touch it?"

They fired a few more shots toward the door.

The Australians have completely given up on this deal.

"fuck..."

The leader cursed loudly, grumbling and complaining.

Several girls were taken away in a daze.

At first, they thought they were there to rescue them. Two of the girls kept thanking them and saying how much their watches were worth and how much they were willing to give as a token of their gratitude.

Upon realizing they were being dragged into the van, Yang Mi's assistant instantly understood that these people were not on the same side as Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang is such a respectable person, he wouldn't let his subordinates come to rescue them in a van.

It damages the image.

Then it must be another group of forces.

Having just escaped from the Australians, they were kidnapped by another group. Tonight's events were more terrifying than any police drama.

Yang Mi's assistant cleared his throat and tried to communicate with their leader.

"Hello, brother..."

Before they could even open their mouths, the Pattaya leader looked directly at them and asked, "Are you Mr. Jiang's friends?"

The girls looked puzzled and shook their heads repeatedly.

"Damn it, no way!" the leader yelled, grabbing his subordinate's ear. "What's wrong with your ear?"

Let's get the guys out there and risk our lives in the middle of the night!

"You've disturbed Mr. Du's rest, are you going to take responsibility for that?"

"Boss, I really didn't hear wrong," the subordinate pleaded repeatedly.

“Yes, I am Mr. Jiang’s friend,” Yang Mi’s assistant immediately admitted. “Were you sent by Mr. Jiang to rescue us?”

The Pattaya chief threatened, "Little girl, our methods are more ruthless than those of the Australians. If you lie, you'll have to consider the consequences."

"I really am Mr. Jiang's friend. If you take me there, I can introduce you to Mr. Jiang." Yang Mi's assistant couldn't think of anything else. Saving her life was the priority. If Mr. Jiang blamed her later, she would accept it.

They thought this group would take them to the hotel where Mr. Jiang was staying, but the leader said directly, "I am not qualified to see Mr. Jiang, nor can I represent our boss."

He instructed his men, "Send these girls to Bangkok tonight, as per Boss Du's instructions."

The girls were terrified and momentarily stunned. (End of Chapter)
