Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 537 The Sentry Post!

This place is located in the north of Pa-an.

To the left are hills, and to the right is a low-rise factory built with blue corrugated steel panels.

Behind the factory were several three-story residential buildings, but the surrounding area was mostly low shacks.

Within a half-kilometer radius, there is only low-lying vegetation; any trees that could grow have been cut down.

It is clear that this was done intentionally by these armed men to clear obstructions to their view.

In the middle SUV, Luo Rui, Cai Xiaojing, and Lin Chen sat in the back seat.

The driver was Deng Sheng, the leader of this security operation, and Jiang Feng was in the passenger seat.

As the armed personnel approached from the front of the vehicle, Deng Sheng rolled down the window and said in broken Chinese, "This is an armed checkpoint of the KNU."

Luo Rui leaned forward and looked out the windshield: "Can we get through?"

Deng Sheng nodded: "No problem. Chairman He has spoken to the armed leader here. We just need to give him some money."

"How much?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll handle it."

He opened the car door and walked towards the armed men in front of him.

Inside the car, Lin Chen and Cai Xiaojing nervously watched the situation ahead.

Luo Rui was the calmest; he didn't believe the other party would actually try to stop him.

After all, there were more than twenty people on their side, and the two pickup trucks behind them were carrying rocket launchers.

If the other side dares to make any rash moves, we'll take them out with rocket launchers.

Jiang Feng's expression was also calm, but he was holding an M16 in his hand. This gun was given to him by Deng Feng, and he kept it by the car door, occasionally squeezing it.

Only this thing can give him a great sense of security.

When Deng Sheng met with the armed leader, they chatted for a few minutes with smiles. He then took out two packs of cigarettes that he was carrying and handed them to the other man.

The armed leader used his thumb to pry open the cigarette pack, looked inside at the Franklin cigarettes hidden there, and his expression immediately became friendly.

Although he had already seen the people in the two pickup trucks behind him, and the guns they were holding.

But who cares?
What is the purpose of becoming a military leader in Myanmar?
It's all about earning dollars.

Isn't this why KNU fights with various forces and vies for territory?
The relationship can be good one moment and bad the next; that's the idea behind it all.

The armed leader waved his hand, and the armed men standing by the roadside immediately put away their guns and started smoking cigarettes.

Deng Sheng returned to the car, gripped the steering wheel, and said with ease and cheerfulness, "Done."

Jiang Feng laughed and said, "Money is still the most useful thing."

Deng Sheng shook his head: "It's not about money, it's about whether you have the ability. This time we're going to the Miaowadi Timber Factory under Chairman He's name."

Chairman He donates to KNU every year, so they usually give him some face in return.

Deng Sheng started the car, and the three cars behind him immediately followed suit.

The barricades in front were removed by armed personnel, and there were hydraulic tire puncturers on the road behind.

As Thein Sheng drove, he said, "The KNU has long occupied the territory of Myawaddy. Besides donations from various forces, their biggest financial backer is the Thai. The Thai doesn't like a united Myanmar government; they're very wicked."

Luo Rui nodded; he already knew about these things.

The KNU has several thousand armed personnel and was formed by the merger of four Karen armed groups. It has long occupied northern Pa-an and is fighting against the government and the military.

Besides this group, there is also the infamous DKBA, a group of outright criminals.

They are present in most of the Miaowadi industrial parks, suspected of crimes such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, and fraud.

This group of DKBAs is an armed force that split off from KNU and has become a local separatist force, making them the biggest opponent and obstacle for Luo Rui and his group.

Beyond the northern part of Paan lies the war zone mountain road, also known as Valais, the headquarters of DKBA, a place fraught with danger.

Just then, Luo Rui and his group had driven two hundred meters when a burst of gunfire suddenly erupted from behind.

Everyone was startled and hurriedly opened the car windows to look back. They saw that the guard post, which had been calm just moments before, was now filled with gunfire and thick smoke.

Five hundred meters ahead, three pickup trucks drove up, followed by a dozen armed men.

The armed men standing in the truck bed waved their guns at the checkpoint.

Moreover, the pickup trucks didn't stop; they kept changing direction, forming a pincer movement, and firing at the KNU militants hiding in the checkpoints.

Jiang Feng was startled: "Why the hell did they suddenly start fighting?"

At that moment, Deng Sheng's walkie-talkie on the control panel crackled to life: "It's DKBA! This group has attacked the outpost!"

Deng Sheng quickly picked up the walkie-talkie: "Ignore them, keep driving forward, stay alert! Pick up the rocket launcher from the vehicle, if they dare to chase us, just shoot them!"

"Yes!"

Deng Sheng put down the intercom, stepped on the accelerator, and the tires rolled over the muddy road as he sped forward.

Inside the car, Cai Xiaojing held Luo Rui's hand tightly.

Lin Chen also gripped his arm tightly.

Although they had experienced gunfights of all sizes, this was the first time they had encountered such a firefight.

This is no different from a battlefield!
Qian Baishan and Fang Yonghui, who were sitting in the car behind, kept their heads sticking out of the car window to observe the situation behind them.

Gunfire continued incessantly, and someone even set fire to the sentry post, causing the fire to spread rapidly.

Qian Baishan stared in disbelief, exclaiming, "Damn, these people are fearless!"

Fang Yonghui's eyes widened as well: "KNU can't beat them, there are seven or eight of them lying on the ground!"

The security guard in the car quickly reminded them, "Don't look out, watch out for stray bullets."

Qian Baishan replied, "Don't worry, we're over 500 meters ahead, unless they're using..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a "smack".

A bullet shattered the SUV's turn mirror, and shards of glass flew onto the road.

Qian Baishan quickly pulled his head back.

Fang Yonghui patted his chest, still shaken.

At the same time, the walkie-talkie in the car crackled to life: "A car is following us!"

Qian Baishan was startled and looked at the rear windshield of the car. Two pickup trucks were rushing towards them, and armed men were holding AKs and pulling the triggers in the air.

"Da da da da..."

The gunshots jolted everyone on the edge of their seats!
Clearly, the other party wanted them to stop the car immediately.

After a while of gunfire, the armed men with AKs released their triggers, and the men in the car pointed their guns at them.

"I rely on!"

While Qian Baishan was still thinking about what to do, he saw Deng Sheng's SUV stop. Luo Rui opened the back door, picked up an M16, and got out of the car with Deng Sheng.

Seeing this, Qian Baishan and Fang Yonghui quickly picked up their rifles, pulled the bolts, kicked open the car doors, and got out of the car together.

About ten people jumped out of their two pickup trucks and followed behind Luo Rui and Deng Sheng, blocking the entire road.

Moreover, the friendly personnel in the pickup truck raised two rocket launchers, commonly known as "truth launchers," with their muzzles steadily pointed at the enemy.

Luo Rui stepped forward, holding his gun, pointed it at the front of the pickup truck, and pulled the trigger, firing a shot all over it.

"Da da da da..."

The enemy pickup truck driver quickly reversed about ten meters to avoid having his tires hit. Luo Rui released the trigger and waved.

The passenger side of the pickup truck opposite opened, and an armed leader got out, leading his men cautiously over.

Luo Rui said to Deng Sheng, "Translate for me."

Then he yelled at the man, "Fuck your mother, are you going to hit me or get back here?"

Deng Sheng looked at Luo Rui with surprise, then translated, "Our boss sends his greetings to your family. We are from He Huachang of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. What do you want?"

The armed leader glanced at him dismissively and replied in Burmese, "We've taken over the outpost; you'll have to pay your toll again."

Deng Sheng said to Luo Rui, "They don't want to fight, they want money."

Luo Rui shook his head: "There's no room for negotiation. I won't give you a single penny."

Deng Sheng smacked his lips and asked the other party, "How many do you want?"

The armed leader laughed and said, "Ten thousand US dollars."

Deng Sheng frowned: "Could it be less?"

"If you want to go, you'll have to pay this amount."

Deng Sheng looked at Luo Rui and translated, "They want ten thousand US dollars, I think we can negotiate."

"Let's talk with the truth!" Luo Rui, holding his gun, swept the open space in front of him again.

"Da da da da..."

The M16's gunshot is crisp and pleasant, and its power is immense.

On the other hand, the weapons the other side was carrying, although heavily armed, lacked mobility. If a real fight broke out, they would have no chance of winning.

The only thing that fueled their arrogance was the armed forces behind them.

The armed leader shuddered in fright and quickly covered his head as he retreated. Several men behind him wanted to fire, but upon seeing the dark rocket launcher, they immediately abandoned the idea.

“For all these people and vehicles, a thousand US dollars, no less,” the armed leader shouted, clearly underestimating the courage of the group.

Deng Sheng said to Luo Rui, "Give them a thousand US dollars and we can leave. Mr. Luo, I think that's reasonable. We don't need to waste our time here."

Luo Rui shook his head, took out a RMB coin from his pocket, and threw it on the ground in front of him.

"Tell him that's all, take it or leave it!"

Even without Deng Sheng translating, the armed leader understood what this meant.

Moreover, at this point, the gunfire from the outpost ahead had ceased.

Clearly, KNU had been wiped out, and the regrouped DKBA arrived in a pickup truck to provide support.

The same armed leader was still being held captive in the car. His hat had fallen off, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, his arms were twisted behind his back by two hostile individuals, and his back was hunched over.

Luo Rui glared angrily at the DKBA's armed leader and waved to the car.

Immediately, a pistol was pointed at the temple of the KNU militant leader.

"boom!"

The trigger was pulled, and a spray of blood gushed out.

The person who fired the shot kicked him, and the body slammed heavily onto the road.

The person who was just laughing and joking with Deng Sheng died in the blink of an eye.

Those on Luo Rui's side were somewhat alarmed by what they saw.

At this moment, Qian Baishan and Fang Yonghui deeply felt the danger here: there was no order, no law, and no peace.

This is a fucking place that doesn't care about human life!
Clearly, the DKBA's leader wanted to save face in this way, while also trying to intimidate Luo Rui's side.

But Luo Rui didn't indulge him; he tossed the M16 in his hand to Fang Yonghui.

Fang Yonghui took the guns with one hand, raised them, and, like Rambo, faced the armed personnel in front of him with great momentum.

Luo Rui walked to the back of his pickup truck and waved to the security personnel holding the rocket launcher. The man looked at Deng Sheng, who nodded, and then immediately handed the arrow to Luo Rui.

The DKBA's leader was startled when he saw this.

He wasn't afraid of people with Southeast Asian features, but he was afraid of this Chinese man.

Earlier, this guy got out of the car and opened fire without saying a word, showing no fear of retaliation from our side.

You know, I just wiped out a KNU outpost, and I just killed someone!
Where the hell did you come from? You're even more arrogant than me!

All the fighting and killing is for money. After the fight, we need to talk. If you don't talk, how will you know my bottom line?
Instantly, cold sweat broke out on the back of the DKBA's armed leader, and his dozen or so subordinates around him swallowed hard.

As Luo Rui hoisted the rocket launcher onto his shoulder and moved the muzzle over, the armed men behind the leader, who were in the pickup truck, quickly jumped out of the vehicle.

The armed leader steeled himself, hurriedly took a few steps forward, picked up the coins that had fallen to the ground, and smiled at Luo Rui.

He tossed the one-yuan coin from country Z in his palm, stuffed it into his pocket with great satisfaction, and patted his pocket as if he cherished it.

He warmly said in Chinese, "Let's be friends."

Luo Rui smiled and said, "Okay, good friend!"

Upon hearing this, the armed leader quickly waved his hand, signaling his men to get into the car and return.

The main problem is that they don't have cannons. If they did, they would be very arrogant.

When the three pickup trucks returned to the outpost, Qian Baishan and Fang Yonghui breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Luo Rui somewhat guiltily.

This King Yama lives up to his name; is he this powerful even abroad? He dismissed someone with just a one-yuan coin.

Luo Rui handed the rocket launcher back to the security personnel and ordered, "Get in the car quickly and let's go!"

The group nodded, especially Deng Sheng and the people he brought; their opinion of Luo Rui changed for the first time.

This Chinese man is fearless, and this is the first time they've seen someone scare off DKBA militants.

After Luo Rui got back into the car, Cai Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you alright?"

Luo Rui shook his head: "It's nothing."

Cai Xiaojing nodded, shook his hand, and then took it away.

Since Luo Rui discovered that Cai Xiaojing had followed them a day ago, the two of them had barely talked about it.

Undoubtedly, Cai Xiaojing didn't come to Myanmar for no reason; she had no idea what her mission was.

It must have been Mo Wanqiu who told her. Whether it was a decision made jointly by the two of them or Cai Xiaojing's own decision, Luo Rui never asked.

Since she's already here, we can't just send her back.

At this moment, the car got back on the road, and as it approached a bend, the walkie-talkie in the car crackled to life. The voice of the security personnel in the car behind came through: "Another car is following us!"

"Damn it, is this ever going to end?" Jiang Feng cursed.

Deng Sheng was also puzzled, so he quickly peeked out and saw three cars driving by at a very high speed.

Logically, the DKBA members should have intercepted them, but they didn't.

Luo Rui also found it strange. He put on his sunglasses and looked out the car window, just in time to see a Ford Raptor driving up and about to overtake him.

The car windows on both sides were rolled down at the same time, and the people in the car were now facing Luo Rui directly.

The woman sitting in the Ford glanced at Luo Rui, then turned her face away and rolled up the car window.

Meanwhile, Bao Tianqiang and Yang Zixiong, sitting in the back seat, narrowed their eyes slightly...
