Chapter 665: Chapter 569: How Can one Live on this Day (Subscription Requested!)_1

Minbell.

Yangon.

The events of yesterday had left the big shots of Yangon distressed all night. Su Yu abruptly changed his attitude and did not meet anyone, making them want to strangle the idiot who issued the order to proceed at the frontline.

Early today.

They held a meeting here, continuing it from morning till afternoon, as there isn’t much happening domestically.

They are an agricultural country, with a not-so-great economy; their foreign trade is mainly agricultural products and mineral resources. The farming of crops was simple due to year-round spring weather, so they led quite leisurely lives, often visiting temples to worship Buddha when there was nothing to do.

They had been waiting for news from Su Yu, hoping that he had calmed down by today, explaining things properly, and that everyone could sit down and talk.

However, the first thing they received wasn’t the information passed on from Su Yu’s spies, but a phone call from Ge Dan, telling them that Ling had already completed this operation, aggressively pushing the entire map.

Upon hearing this news, they were initially stunned.

Holy shit.

How much time has passed?

Just over a morning, and you tell me it’s already over?

If those guys were so weak, so easy to talk to, and so easy to defeat, why did they need to wait until now? Clearly, Ling had premeditated this and laid out his plans long ago. This was just a closure to the final opening.

So now the people they were dying to kill were not just that idiot, but also the head of the Minbell Intelligence Department.

Dear Lord.

Ling made such a huge move, and you didn’t notice a thing. You and your people were all kept in the dark, and it was Ge Dan who informed you. You didn’t even know when everyone else had finished. What the hell are you here for?

Could life continue like this?

The conference room interior.

Filled with smoke.

Though each of them was mentally resilient, they were still confused and dizzy from the roller coaster of events.

They had a great hand of cards.

But my killer hand hasn’t been played yet.

You’ve already exposed all your cards at once; will we still play this game happily?

The old man tapped on the ashtray with his pipe and said, "Let’s talk about it; what should we do? Ling will come to Yangon in ten days. During this period, he will definitely consolidate the forces of Su Yu and the new territory. Once this consolidation is complete, it will become even more difficult to deal with.

You all know that the area is mostly covered with mountains and forests; large-scale mechanized warfare can’t be fought. If they engage us in a protracted guerilla warfare in the jungle, who knows how long that will last.

Plus, the soldiers under Su Yu. They can form a team of hundreds of thousands at any time. Even if Ling’s selection of soldiers is a bit stricter, there would be at least fifty thousand or more. This is not a small number." The old man felt a headache when he said this. Dealing with one Su Yu was already challenging enough, but if Ling were to merge with him, life would be unpredictable.

"We have planes." Someone’s words ignited a desire to strangle yet another person amongst them — the level of this person’s intelligence, how did he end up here? Damn, why are there useless teammates everywhere?

"They have anti-control weapons." Kan Qin said helplessly. He felt that at least half of the people in this room needed to be replaced to maintain a relatively high level of intelligence. Unfortunately, he was only the vice-president, without the qualification to decide on personnel.

"..."

The old man almost laughed in frustration. He took a deep breath, "Hisss... headache, ten days... should we give them or not?" He said it for everyone to hear.

Kan Qin immediately replied, "I think we should first confirm whether Ling will come in ten days. If he does, what he wants to discuss with us about his status. I don’t believe Ling would just hand over the territory to us, he must have a scheme."

"Hmm, status, status, what kind of status Ling would want." The old man murmured.

If Ling could come, there shouldn’t be a big problem. If he arrived, Ling would definitely not want war, but peace. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come personally. Could it be that he was here to hand over hostages? That would be impossible.

The most crucial question was how Ling could persuade him not to detain him.

This was what the old man was concerned about. Ling could come, and he must have had a way to retreat unharmed, but apart from Ling surrendering to them, he was not clear about what conditions he would agree to, what concessions he would make.

Depression.

Getting older, too much thinking also caused a headache.

Ten minutes later.

The old man made up his mind.

"Forget it, let’s wait for Ling to come. If Ling is now fighting with those leaders, it would be the best time for us to attack directly. But now everything has ended, we lost the initiative, the odds of success are too low. I want to see what Ling really wants." The old man’s eyes flashed with a glimmer of sharp light.

No matter what, if Ling does not agree to surrender, he must detain Ling. Even if Ling agrees, he has to make him ’stay’ a little longer. He finally got him, he couldn’t just easily let Ling go.

"President, you are wise." Kan Qin felt relieved. He was never an advocate of solving problems by force in the first place.

The others echoed in chorus.

"Hmm, let the front line prepare for defense and keep an eye on the activities on Su Yu’s side at all times." The old man said. Ling was very measured this time and didn’t interfere with Laos and Thailand. Otherwise, he would have had more options. Unfortunately, Ling didn’t give him the opportunity.

"Yes."

In this way, a dull meeting ended.

But its impact was far from over yet.

Thailand.

Near the port.

Wangsa also received the news from the merchants. Ling was so bold and reckless, he uprooted those ’fence sitters’, which greatly expanded the scope of his power.

He had reported it to his father.

Now he was just waiting for his father’s reply.

"Ding ding ding..." The phone rang.

Wangsa quickly picked it up.

"Father, how is it?" Wangsa asked anxiously.

Wangsa’s father said, "According to the report by the spies, Ling just moved the leaders inside Minbell, and didn’t touch those in Thailand and Laos. Fortunately, if Ling really moved to this side of Thailand, the Thai royal family would definitely not let it go.

"Sovereignty is inviolate. It’s the dignity and bottom line of the Thai royal family and should never be violated. It seems Ling understands that as well. I’m relieved," he said.

He spoke the truth. If a country is in turmoil, allowing foreign intrusion is an insult, especially in areas that it cannot control. After all, it’s like meat in a pot: one should close the door to feast privately, regardless of how much is enjoyed is entirely dependent on one’s ability. However, it’s absolutely unacceptable for others to try and poach from it.

Thailand, in particular, is a stable nation.

Their honour...

Must not be discarded.

The meat in the pot belongs to their people, but interference from outsiders is absolutely not allowed. That’s their bottom line.

If Ling actually seizes land in Thailand, he can imagine, Thailand absolutely will not stand by and do nothing. Wangsa’s father is a soldier of Thailand and bears the responsibility of defending the territorial integrity. It’s not merely about the pursuit of wealth.

Fortunately...

Ling doesn’t let his emotions dictate his actions, otherwise the situation would be truly hard to resolve. It’s not only challenging the bottom line of the Thai royal family, but also challenging the dignity of all Thai soldiers. The Thai government will definitely not care who you happen to be, or which family you have a profitable connection with, it inevitably will be a fight to the very end.

Because...

Thailand has to account for its national population, maintaining their dignity is what is necessary for a stable nation.

After hanging up his father’s call...

Wangsa also let out a sigh of relief. Ling is rather radical but not completely reckless. He rested a while before rushing off to Ling’s territory, he wanted to know Ling’s exact actions, which would be inappropriate to discus on the phone.

An hour later...

Wangsa exited the service center.

He looked up at the sky, surprise still lingering on his face that yet had not faded.

He previously thought Ling would only co-opt the territories of the fence-sitters, but it turned out that even Su Yu had pledged allegiance to Ling which means... Ling really had achieved a counterattack, growing from a minor power, a minor leader, into the second most powerful force in Myanmar.

As for other specific collaborative information, Ling didn’t speak of, he only mentioned that all businesses should carry on as usual.

But Wangsa could sense that Ling didn’t fear Myanmar at all or perhaps, Ling and Myanmar had reached some kind of agreement. However, these were still speculations, so he dared not make any assertions.

So, Wangsa returned hastily and reported this information to his father.

The current situation was uncannily strange. With the murky water, Wangsa simply couldn’t decipher what was going on.

But Wangsa’s father, being a seasoned player in the ’Jianghu’, immediately understood Ling’s meaning implying that he prepared to negotiate terms with Yangon to reach a certain balance. As for what the terms were and what kind of balance, he could not guess.

All they could do was observe how it would unfold.

Wait and see how the hidden chess player will tackle this situation. If Ling really passed this juncture, that would be his skyrocketing point, thinking of Asia Dollar, Wangsa’s father seemed to catch a glimpse of a clue, but it was vague.

......

Since Thailand had already received the news...

How could neighboring countries not? Their respective intelligence departments immediately listed Ling as a key target. What a good fellow, going from a small power, morphing to a regional powerhouse, at an almost unbelievable speed.

If Ling fully consolidates the land...

He will definitely have an impact on regional stability. That’s a force that shouldn’t be underestimated, especially the countries that border with Ling. All of them issued orders to raise Ling’s level of threat once again.

Such power...

It’s not just small fry.

Wealthy, with people, land, technology, and brains. All combined made for an extremely difficult person to deal with.

But, at present, every country’s coverage of Ling is very cautious, and the media are not widely propagating anything, held in check by Ling’s previous ’black history’. Let’s just wait until the situation clears up before discussing it. As a result, the international media also regained a rare tranquility.

They are waiting to see how Ling and Myanmar will eventually coexist.

Will they fight?

Or will they unite?

...

The outside world is in extreme chaos...

But as the big boss in the background, Tang Qing still enjoys a cozy and pleasant weekend.

At night...

After dinner...

Tang Qing ordered his soldiers to send Li Kai and Wong Yan home.

Watching the car disappear from sight, Tang Qing picked up Lin Jiaxue and headed back to their room. They return to school tomorrow, and even though they can get together every day, Tang Qing was still obsessed with Lin Jiaxue.

What he missed out on in his previous life...

In this life, he plans to make up for manifold.

On the other side...

Wang Yan and Wei Yiyi got out of the car and started walking towards the school. Wang Yan was walking with her head hanging low, a somewhat silent. Wei Yiyi had somewhat understood Wang Yan’s thoughts: if Lin Jiaxue did not exist, she may not have been able to resist the temptation to chase after Tang Qing herself.

Now, she was even considering whether or not to replace her idol, Tony Leung with Tang Qing.

He was an enchanting entity...

Who had even transcended the realm of idols.

"Cheer up, Wang, Tang Qing has Lin Jiaxue, he lives in a monogamous society, you’ll definitely find someone better than Tang Qing," Wei Yiyi comforted.

"Maybe..."

Wang Yan sighed softly. If you’ve never truly loved, it’s easy to move on. If it doesn’t work, change accordingly, there are always other options. But once you’ve fallen, it’s not that easy to sever ties, love is not a cheap thing for Wang Yan, on the contrary, it’s rather valuable.

"Yiyi, let’s sign up for a music class tomorrow, and learn some painting on the side."

"...Okay."
