Can’t Beat Her

If he were to go head to head with the big families in China, it was very likely that his business in China would be destroyed and his income would decrease sharply in the short term. By then, General Kun Tong might not even be able to afford the soldiers under him. By then, the warlords in northern Myanmar would probably join forces to target him!

In fact, this was a matter that could be big or small. It might not be that bad, but it might really be that bad! General Kun Tong wanted to solve this problem, but he had never expected that Jiang Tong would spend so much effort to make him understand this and even give him a solution! As long as Old Ghost could break away from the Poppy Group, Jiang Tong would be able to make all the arrangements!

Not only that, Jiang Tong wanted to mess with Shao Ying and the Shao family! And the Poppy Group had a feud with the Shao family! As the saying goes, ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’! Although Jiang Tong said that they wouldn’t be cooperating, they had the same goal. No matter how he thought about it… he felt that this was a very good choice.

General Kun Tong could also feel that Jiang Tong seemed to have taken a fancy to Old Ghost. She did not even want the 100 million US dollars. It was as if she was making a deal! As long as General Kun Tong agreed to let go of Old Ghost, Jiang Tong and the Zhou brothers would be able to remove the Poppy Group from the picture when they were dealing with the Shao family!

“Actually, even the Shao family doesn’t know much about the relationship between Old Ghost and the Poppy Group. All they know is that Old Ghost has a very deep relationship with your Poppy Group. So, whether Wang Da’s incident can be traced back to the Poppy Group will depend on what we say when the time comes…” Jiang Tong added when General Kun Tong fell silent.

What Jiang Tong said was the truth. The Shao family had no need to understand the Poppy Group so well. It was all Shao Ying’s doing, and Shao Ying had only hired someone to kill them.

“If what you said is true, then I… will agree to this.” General Kun Tong finally spoke. He agreed! Jiang Tong didn’t say anything more. Instead, she reached out and handed the phone to Old Ghost, who had been sitting on the sofa at the side. Old Ghost’s expression was still a little dazed. He paused for a moment before reaching out to take the phone. He put it by his ear and said slowly, “General Kun Tong.”

“… Have you been listening by the side?” General Kun Tong asked after a moment.

“Yes…” Old Ghost replied.

“How did you fail the mission?” General Kun Tong asked again.

“We couldn’t defeat Jiang Tong,” Old Ghost replied. The two of them started chatting. Jiang Tong stood up and walked to the balcony. With her hands in her pockets, she looked out the window and counted the time. The ambulance should be arriving soon.

In fact, Jiang Tong’s action was a declaration that she didn’t want to hear what the Old Ghost and General Kun Tong were saying. Although she could still hear what the Old Ghost was saying, she definitely couldn’t hear the voice over the phone. She didn’t need to hear it. She had already given General Kun Tong the best choice and understood Old Ghost’s personality and thoughts. Thus… she didn’t care.

Jiang Tong also did not want to have anything to do with a small country’s border warlord like General Kun Tong. Of course, this did not stop Jiang Tong from setting up her plan to have the Poppy Group make a move on Shao Ying! Once the matter of the numerous forces surrounding the Shao family starts, the Poppy Group will definitely give the Shao family a good beating when they’re down!

A few minutes later, Old Ghost was still on the phone. He said, “… and Feng Kun have proven that it’s Shao Ying…” When he mentioned Feng Kun, it meant that he was talking about Leon’s death. Old Ghost’s words were enough to make General Kun Tong believe that Jiang Tong’s words were true!

“… Are you the one who doesn’t want to work anymore? Were you the one who brought it up? Or does Jiang Tong want to use you? Was she the one who suggested it?” General Kun Tong finally asked Old Ghost this question. Old Ghost was silent for a moment before saying, “I want to change my life. I think… I’m tired.” He was lying! Jiang Tong had never told him this before! He had never taken the initiative to mention that he wanted to leave the Poppy Group! However, he had indeed thought about it long ago. He wanted to escape! he had already earned enough money! He was already over forty years old. Although he was very strong, he was long past the age where he could personally go on missions and fight to the death with others! However, it was not that easy to escape. He had fallen too deep.

Jiang Tong was still standing on the balcony, looking at the scenery when Old Ghost’s voice suddenly came from behind, “Miss Jiang.”
