215: Searching for monsters, prejudice and blame
Jiang Chuan and his group successfully arrived in Northern Myanmar in an armored vehicle.
"Northern Myanmar has changed so much, hasn't it?"
"Yes, I heard about it too. The Four Great Families of Northern Myanmar were wiped out, and now a force called Brahmin has taken over the entire Northern Myanmar. I never thought chaotic Northern Myanmar would actually get better."
"It's also good for our Huaguo that Northern Myanmar didn't remain chaotic. At the very least, our Huaguo's telecom fraud has significantly decreased."
The Scabbard Squad and Qin Aotian, sitting in the vehicle, couldn't help but exclaim as they observed the changes in Northern Myanmar.
They had all been to Northern Myanmar for missions before. Back then, Northern Myanmar was extremely chaotic. Compared to now, one is heaven and the other is earth.
Jiang Chuan merely smiled when he heard their discussion and did not interject.
The armored vehicle traveled unimpeded and successfully arrived in Northern Myanmar.
"Get out of the car."
When the armored vehicle stopped, Jiang Chuan and the others also got out of the car.
"Younger Male Cousin, what's going on?"
Qin Aotian looked at them, realizing they had stopped at a hotel, and he looked at Jiang Chuan in confusion.
Although the members of the Scabbard Squad didn't speak, they all looked at Jiang Chuan, wanting to know what he intended to do.
"We're at a hotel, naturally, to rest."
Jiang Chuan smiled and said when he heard them, then headed towards the hotel.
"Younger Male Cousin, we came to Northern Myanmar to complete a mission, not to enjoy ourselves."
Qin Aotian heard that Jiang Chuan planned to rest and immediately urged him anxiously.
They came to Northern Myanmar to quickly catch that monster and report back, not to relax.
The members of the Scabbard Squad didn't speak, their eyes fixed on Jiang Chuan, all feeling that he was very unreliable.
"Do you know where that monster is?"
Jiang Chuan heard Qin Aotian's words, then looked at the Scabbard Squad and calmly spoke this sentence.
"We don't know where the monster is, that's why we came to Northern Myanmar. Since we've arrived in Northern Myanmar, we should split up and find the monster as soon as possible to complete the mission assigned to us by the High-Level Official."
A member of the Scabbard Squad directly and coldly told Jiang Chuan.
Qin Aotian didn't speak this time, also looking at Jiang Chuan.
"Northern Myanmar is neither big nor small. How could we possibly find it with just us? And even if we did find it, what then? Do you think you alone can subdue that monster?"
"Since you've come here, get some good rest. I've already ordered everyone in Northern Myanmar to mobilize. As soon as they find out where the monster is, we can strike quickly."
Jiang Chuan calmly replied to the other party and then directly entered the hotel.
Qin Aotian and the others saw Jiang Chuan enter the hotel, genuinely planning to rest. The members of the Scabbard Squad all looked at Qin Aotian, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Go in and rest."
Qin Aotian knew that Jiang Chuan had a strong background abroad. Since Jiang Chuan said so, there must be a reason.
Most importantly, Jiang Chuan was right. Everyone in Northern Myanmar had mobilized. If they couldn't find the monster, then for them, unfamiliar with Northern Myanmar, searching for the monster would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was better to wait for news to come back.
"Yes."
The members of the Scabbard Squad could only agree when they heard Qin Aotian's words, and the group entered the hotel.
Everyone stayed in the hotel to rest.
After three consecutive days of rest, Qin Aotian and the others could no longer sit still.
In three days, the monster could have already left this place, or even be completely untraceable.
"Younger Male Cousin, we can't keep staying in the hotel. Three days have passed, and if we continue to stay here, we really won't be able to find the monster."
Qin Aotian also found Jiang Chuan and told him this news.
"Get ready to depart. The monster's tracks have been found."
Jiang Chuan heard Qin Aotian's words and directly told him.
"Found?"
Qin Aotian instantly became excited when he heard this. He quickly found the Scabbard Squad, telling them to assemble as soon as possible, as it was their turn to act.
Jiang Chuan looked at Qin Aotian's departing back and couldn't help but shake his head.
When the Scabbard Squad had all gathered in Jiang Chuan's room, Jiang Chuan looked at everyone and spoke.
"The monster's clue has indeed been found. He has already left Northern Myanmar."
"What? Left Northern Myanmar?"
"If we had acted earlier, we should have found this monster."
"That's right, now that the monster has left Northern Myanmar, where should we go to look for him?"
The members of the Scabbard Squad all looked at Jiang Chuan with reproachful eyes when they heard him.
If it weren't for Jiang Chuan insisting on resting, they would have already found the monster and even captured him. All of this was Jiang Chuan's fault.
Jiang Chuan felt these gazes but didn't care or take it to heart.
The reason they were able to find the monster this time was by mobilizing a large part of Northern Myanmar's manpower. If Jiang Chuan and a few others had gone to search, it would have been impossible to find him.
Jiang Chuan didn't want to explain too much.
"Although the monster has left Northern Myanmar, according to the clues I've obtained, he has entered the Golden Triangle area."
Jiang Chuan spoke again, and at this moment, everyone fell silent.
"Golden Triangle!"
Qin Aotian was also shocked when he heard the place Jiang Chuan mentioned, looking at him.
The Golden Triangle is a truly lawless land, and also one of the world's drug sources. It has many warlords and local armed forces numbering tens of thousands, making it a very dangerous place where a slight misstep could mean being permanently trapped there.
"You should ask Director Long for his opinion."
Jiang Chuan looked at the silent Qin Aotian and the others, smiled, and said to Qin Aotian.
"Okay."
Qin Aotian also understood how dangerous it would be for them to enter the Golden Triangle area, so he could only contact Director Long as soon as possible to ask for the High-Level Official's opinion.
Director Long learned that the monster had entered the Golden Triangle area. After a long silence, he told Qin Aotian and the others to return to the country.
The Golden Triangle was too dangerous. Although Qin Aotian and the others were battle-hardened warriors, they were still no match for tens of thousands of local armed forces.
Most importantly, the guys in the Golden Triangle were all drug traffickers, a group of true cold-blooded killers. A slight mistake could lead to an irreversible demise.
"Director Long is telling us to return to the country and cancel this mission."
Qin Aotian looked at everyone and said in a low voice.
"Damn it."
"We could have caught the monster..."
"That's right, we should have gone to look for the monster when we arrived in Northern Myanmar. In that case, this monster could have been caught by us."
..."You idiots, if you don't know what happened, shut up!"
"Do you know how many people and how much money I used to find clues about this monster?"
Jiang Chuan heard the discussions of the Scabbard Squad members and, at this moment, no longer held back, coldly reprimanding them.
