Chapter 229 Gold 34
Chapter 229 Gold 34
Cheney, under the close protection of a small team of well-trained special forces, treaded on thin ice as he arrived in the Golden Triangle. This place has always been full of danger and uncertainty, but Cheney is no ordinary person.
As the head of the Hong Kong Police Force's Special Branch, he shouldn't have had the authority to mobilize such an elite special forces squad for his own protection. However, Cheney possessed another identity—a lord of the Great Eagle Kingdom, and his uncle was the Minister of War. This dual identity undoubtedly afforded him privileges unattainable for ordinary people.
Don't be so naive as to believe that Western countries are absolutely democratic and free of privilege. In fact, the privileged class is like a ghost, omnipresent.
Cheney knew this very well, so from the moment he stepped onto the edge of the Golden Triangle, he was extremely cautious, as if he were facing a formidable enemy. After all, this was not a safe place, and if he was not careful, he would probably fall into an irretrievable situation.
However, in stark contrast to his previous missions to the Golden Triangle, this time his trip was remarkably smooth, practically flawless. This made Cheney begin to wonder if he had truly struck it rich, or if even angels were protecting him.
Cheney entered the territory controlled by General Duterte without any hindrance. However, to his surprise, the person who came to greet him was not Lei Long himself, but a local from the Golden Triangle.
"Hmph, it seems that this Thunder Dragon has become more and more arrogant after arriving in the Golden Triangle! Once our cooperation stabilizes, I must teach him a lesson and let him know who is the real boss!" Cheney thought indignantly.
When Cheney finally arrived at General Dutt's villa, he suddenly realized that something seemed amiss, as all of them were asked to surrender their weapons, which was clearly not what he expected.
Although the special forces protecting Cheney were unwilling to surrender easily at first, and even wanted to resist and refused to hand over their weapons, they had no choice but to compromise when faced with hundreds of black rifles from the other side.
In the end, only Cheney was able to enter General Duterte's villa. However, just as the villa's door slowly closed, Cheney suddenly felt a powerful force binding him tightly. He looked closely and found himself tied up with ropes!
"What is going on? Where is Lei Long? Get him to come out and give me an explanation!" Cheney yelled in horror, struggling desperately to break free from the ropes.
However, his cry received no response. Instead, several people rushed up and blocked his mouth with a piece of cloth, preventing him from making any sound.
Unexpectedly, Cheney didn't have to wait long. Before long, the Thunder Dragon, whom he hated, appeared before him. However, Thunder Dragon was in a very bad state, as the place where they met was actually a water dungeon.
The dungeon was pitch black and emitting a nauseating stench. It was not only filled with snakes, insects, rats, and ants, but also with some strange creatures that Cheney couldn't even name.
The people who escorted Cheney into the water dungeon remained silent the entire time, not even saying a word. They simply mercilessly kicked Cheney, who was tied up tightly and even had his mouth gagged, into the water.
Cheney's hands and feet were tightly bound, making it impossible for him to struggle. He struggled desperately in the water and finally managed to get his head above the surface. But at that moment, he suddenly felt something blocking one of his nostrils, making it extremely difficult for him to breathe and making his body feel even more uncomfortable.
Seeing that he was about to lose consciousness due to suffocation, at this critical moment, someone finally took action. The person quickly removed the rag that was blocking Cheney's mouth, allowing him to breathe deeply and regain precious air.
Just when Cheney wanted to shout again, the rag appeared at his mouth again like a ghost, tightly blocking his mouth. This time, Cheney was blocked by the rag before he could even make a sound.
Then, Cheney felt a strong sense of suffocation. His breathing became extremely difficult, as if the whole world was moving away from him. He struggled desperately, trying to break free from the rag, but it was all in vain.
Just as he was about to give up, the rags were finally removed. Cheney greedily breathed in the fresh air, glaring at Lei Long fiercely. However, to his disappointment, Lei Long seemed completely oblivious to his presence. Perhaps due to being imprisoned for several days, Lei Long's spirits were extremely low, and he completely ignored Cheney's words.
Cheney's fury grew stronger, and he wanted to rush over to Lei Long and give the bastard a good beating. However, his hands and feet were tightly bound, and he couldn't move at all. He could only shout in his heart, "I can't do this!"
At this moment, the creatures in the water dungeon began to "welcome" Cheney, the newcomer, in various ways. Some made strange noises, some swam in the water, and some even pounced directly at Cheney. Cheney was so frightened by these creatures that his mental defenses collapsed in an instant.
However, his angel did not appear to protect him at this time. Cheney could only face this terrible scene alone. It was not until he was imprisoned for a whole day and night that someone pulled him out of the dungeon.
The man gave him a simple cleansing and treatment, then put some clothes on him and finally took him to a room.
In the room, a person was sitting quietly, his figure a little blurry under the dim light. Cheney stared at the person in front of him, and an indescribable shock surged in his heart - he turned out to be Wei Luoren!
Wei Luoren, this name was not unfamiliar to Cheney, but he had never expected to see him here. After all, shouldn't Wei Luoren have been arrested? However, when Cheney thought about Lei Long being imprisoned in the water prison, he suddenly realized that Wei Luoren's appearance here didn't seem completely unexpected.
So, what exactly was going on? Cheney's mind raced through various possible explanations. Ever since Wei Luoren disappeared, Huadi had suspected he would come to the Golden Triangle. And Huadi, a man of exceptional intelligence, naturally wouldn't sit idly by. So, he quickly contacted Duan Long.
Duan Long, this name is a household name in the Golden Triangle. His status in the Golden Triangle is like Gao Jin's in the gambling world, his status as the king of mercenaries unmatched. After learning of Wei Luoren's situation, Duan Long contacted General Dutt without hesitation.
When Lei Long brought Wei Luoren to General Dutt, General Dutt showed his decisive and resolute side. He looked at Lei Long expressionlessly, without any hesitation or hesitation in his eyes.
Lei Long pushed Wei Luoren in front of General Dutt, and Wei Luoren looked at General Dutt in horror, his body shaking uncontrollably. However, General Dutt did not show any mercy or sympathy to Wei Luoren, he just looked at him indifferently.
Suddenly, General Dutt reached out and quickly pulled Wei Luoren to his side, and at the same time ordered his men to lock Lei Long in the water prison. This series of actions was as natural as flowing water, without the slightest drag.
Wei Luoren watched all this in astonishment. He had never expected General Dutt to rescue him so easily and put Lei Long in the water prison without hesitation. He had originally thought that he would die today, but he did not expect things to take such a turn.
As for why General Dutt betrayed his partner so easily, the reason was simple. General Dutt had many partners and could easily switch them. However, he only had one life. The moment Duan Long sat by General Dutt's bed, General Dutt immediately realized the gravity of the situation. He knew that if he didn't make a decisive decision, he could very well lose his own life.
Under such circumstances, General Dutt chose to protect himself without hesitation. He knew that only by staying alive could he have a chance to continue to control the situation and achieve his goals. Therefore, he decisively betrayed Lei Long and saved Wei Luoren in exchange for his own safety.
Later, Hua Di came to the Golden Triangle. When he saw Wei Luoren, he only asked one question: "If you kill Lei Long with your own hands, how will you face your wife? When your child asks about his grandfather, how will you answer?"
