Police officer Chen Shu.

Company Commander Ma remained silent for a long time, his mind racing at that moment.

Since fleeing from Xia Guo, he has stayed in these mountains for more than a decade. He can know the forests, mountain roads, and villages here clearly even with his eyes closed.

Take this logging camp, for example. It's always been a remote, desolate place with terrible road conditions. Even the mules that deliver goods don't want to go through here.

And now, suddenly the lights have come on, and so much equipment has appeared.

They brought over assault rifles in excellent condition, heavy body armor in perfect working order, drones that could be considered a new-era weapon of mass destruction, and even logistical support equipment. It was clear that they were preparing for a major war.

Company Commander Ma recalled the words the commander in front of him had implied to Ang Suling when they were in the telecom fraud park: "Why don't you go and see for yourself, then you'll know everything?" The commander's tone was casual when he said those words, and his eyes were smiling, just like the way he spoke to him now.

Thinking of this, Company Commander Ma straightened his expression and looked intently at Chen Shu, who was standing not far away. His face was expressionless under the outdoor lights, neither excited nor shocked, as calm as if he had known what was going to happen here all along.

"Commander, what do you want? What did Angsorin promise you?"

After calming down, Company Commander Ma immediately declared, "What he can give, I can give too; what he promised, I can promise!"

The commander simply looked at him without answering immediately.

Company Commander Ma knew that the conditions he had given were too vague. What could a down-on-his-luck company commander with only four soldiers under his command compare to a general of a local armed organization that actually controlled the Dalalin region?

However, Company Commander Ma could not wait, nor could he afford to miss this opportunity, his only chance.

He believed that since the commander in front of him had taken the initiative to lead him to this supply site, there must be room for negotiation, and he himself must have something that the other party would like.

He had served in the Xia Kingdom and knew all too well what these things, deliberately erased of information and abandoned in the desolate mountains of northern Myanmar, meant.

This is not aid, not a donation, and certainly not a business deal. It's not an operation that involves real names and public disclosures, which would expose the powerful figures behind the scenes. These things are left here, waiting to be picked up by someone else.

That's the only reason they exist here.

In northern Myanmar, what kind of thing required the Xia Kingdom, this behemoth, to use its armed forces to eliminate it?

Conversely, what is in northern Myanmar that could harm Xia Kingdom?

The answer is obvious.

"Commander, give me all of this. I'll take out Ang Suoling within a week, and then send all the telecom fraudsters in his park to Xia Country! The same goes for drugs. I'll personally control that northern route to Xia Country. From now on, anyone who tries to smuggle even a single gram of drugs into Xia Country under my nose will be shot dead!"

Company Commander Ma's words were loaded with meaning; the telecom fraud, offered as a bargaining chip, was readily handed over. The drugs, however, could be kept; they also needed money and income.

However, the drugs will absolutely not flow north.

Company Commander Ma took a few steps closer, and this time his tone was no longer probing, but a resolute assurance.

The commander remained silent, simply watching him quietly, though his eyes flickered slightly.

Encouraged, Company Commander Ma took two more steps forward: "Commander, you know, someone like Ang Suoling, who's already wearing leather shoes, can't do these things. He simply can't bear to give up this telecom fraud park that makes him money every day, and drugs are his lifeblood. Without telecom fraud and drugs, how will he support his troops? How will he fight other organizations?"

"You want him to cut off his own source of income? He can't do it. You've seen it yourself. At most, he'll hand over a few scapegoats today, and if that's not enough, he'll send over a few more in a few days. These are all pigs. It costs a bit of money, but there's enough for everyone. Just keep dragging it out until you lose patience."

"Commander, I'm different! I have no way out! I came here with you today with no intention of going back to be Ang Soling's dog. Of course, he won't treat someone like me, who once held a gun to his head, as a dog either."

Company Commander Ma gave a wry smile, then composed himself, looked directly at the commander, and said, word by word, "Commander, if you give me supplies, I'll do the work for you. Well, if you don't give me anything, I'll still do the work for you!"

Having said all that, the commander, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.

He chuckled softly, then leisurely retorted, "Without a handy tool, how can you do the work, let alone do it well?"

Upon hearing this, Company Commander Ma was overjoyed, knowing that the other party had relented.

He patted his chest, displaying a boldness reminiscent of the people of northeastern China, and shouted, "Commander, I'm not very educated, and I'm not good at sweet talk. But I only believe in one principle: whoever treats me like a human being, I'll give them my life."

"You brought me here today, which means you trust me. I promise I won't let you embarrass yourself in front of the leaders. If you have any tasks, just tell me. Don't think I'm bragging; I'm really going to do everything I can to help you stand up for yourself."

Seeing the deepening wrinkles at the commander's lips, Company Commander Ma gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Commander, give the order! Even if it means turning this northern Myanmar upside down, I will get it done for you!"

After he finished speaking, neither of them said anything, and they remained silent for a while.

This old company commander, who fled from Xia Guo with a criminal record to northern Myanmar, had been living in a remote mountain valley in Dala Lin for more than a decade. Now that he had finally found a lifeline, he was eager to give it his all.

"not enough."

The commander's voice wasn't loud, but those two words were like a bucket of water, pouring down on the steaming Company Commander Ma from head to toe.

Company Commander Ma paused for a moment, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then swallowed his words.

He stood there, his hands hanging at his sides, unsure of what to do, standing there like a schoolboy being scolded.

"Company Commander Ma, do you think Aung Soe Ling is the only one in these mountains making a living from telecom fraud and drugs? The United Army and the Allied Army in the west, the Arakan Army in the east, and all those miscellaneous armed groups hiding in the old forests—aren't they all making a living from these two sources of income?"

The commander chuckled coldly twice and continued, "You're so eager to take down Angsolin. What, are you planning to use Dalalin to become the second Angsolin? You're not even worried about taking such a huge advantage?"

Company Commander Ma vaguely guessed the other party's purpose, but this was too exaggerated, wasn't it?

He's just a junior company commander, how could he have such great abilities?

"Company Commander Ma, Dalalin will be the first place to be cleared out, but not the last. What we want is not to kick Angsorin off his position as general; it's meaningless. Even if you take down one Angsorin today, tomorrow when the sun rises, there will definitely be a second, a third, or a fourth Angsorin who will climb up from some unknown corner."

"Company Commander Ma, it's not enough, not nearly enough."

Company Commander Ma suddenly jolted awake.

I like Policeman Chen Shu.
