Chapter 562 WPG Violates Traffic Laws? A Disappointing Choice! Is Someone Following the Convoy?

Security has always been a major problem in the Tyrande!
For example, Chinese students studying in Tyrande could be kidnapped from their schools, extorted, and then killed.

Furthermore, kidnapping, extortion, and murder occur even more frequently in the business sector!
The United Nations and the Teland Police Department jointly released relevant data, including 2019 and 2020, showing that the number of Xia people who went missing in Teland was very high, with more than 10,000 people disappearing each year.

Unfortunately, most of the information was kept secret.

After all, the Tayland region is highly dependent on the tourism industry. If such a thing were exposed, wouldn't it have a serious impact on the tourism industry?

An Wuyang had a wider range of information sources, so he was very aware of how bad the security situation was in Tyrande.

Within the Xia Kingdom, he was the powerful and influential head of the Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group.

But in Tyrande, he could become a prime target for some unscrupulous individuals.

Therefore, when An Wuyang was coming to Tyrande, he chose to take double precautions. He arranged for security personnel from the 24-hour security company to act as bodyguards in the open, and also arranged for two squads of the GSS Global Special Security Mobile Team to provide armed support in the dark.

After all, if an unexpected situation were to occur in Tyrande, An Wuyang could not rely on the Tyrande police department, nor could he even rely on the Tyrande military.

These two companies.
The best-case scenario is that they didn't collude with criminals!

It was a little after 5 p.m. local time in Bangkok.

An Wuyang set off with Xia Yuqing and Lu Manman, while Liu Shengnan and Ye Na rode in the same car with them to provide the most essential security services.

Given the security concerns, An Wuyang didn't choose the crowded and chaotic night market, but instead took them to a somewhat unique restaurant called Potong.

Potong Restaurant is a restaurant converted from a long-established pharmacy. It is located in Bangkok's Chinatown and has not only been selected as a Michelin-starred restaurant, but also as one of the '50 Best Restaurants in Asia'.

(↑Potong Restaurant: Not recommended)

It's not far from the Four Seasons Hotel Champs-Élysées, which is about 12 kilometers away as the crow flies.

But Bangkok's traffic is comparable to that of Shengxing.
wrong!

As a former resident of Shengqing, An Wuyang felt that Shengqing should not be criticized, because Bangkok's traffic situation is even worse.

The drivers here are even less courteous, and there are more instances of cutting in line and swerving.

There are also a large number of motorcycles and tricycles.
Is it called a tuk-tuk locally?

These people cutting in line and arbitrarily increasing traffic congestion in Bangkok has exacerbated the city's traffic problems.

So although the straight-line distance was only about twelve kilometers, it actually took a full forty minutes to arrive, and then new problems arose after we arrived.

That's because parking is inconvenient!

However, this problem was not a problem for An Wuyang and his group.

The five cars simply parked on the side of the road, completely disregarding whether it was a no-parking zone or whether they would be fined.

Moreover, when the convoy stopped, the security personnel in the two Humvees H1 armored vehicles got out of their cars first to set up a cordon, and two security personnel even climbed onto the roof of the Humvees H1 armored vehicles to observe the surrounding situation.

Only after confirming that it was safe did Duan Zhiqiang personally come over to open the door and welcome An Wuyang out of the car.

In Chinatown, the proportion of people of Xia Kingdom descent is relatively high, and when An Wuyang and his group made such a high-profile appearance, it attracted the attention of many people.

But everyone watched from a distance and didn't go over to provoke them.

After all, the real world is different from the online world, and most people in the real world are not fools!

Judging from the scale of the motorcade An Wuyang rode in, coupled with the large number of security personnel, it was clear that An Wuyang was either rich or noble, so why would he go over there to make things difficult?
Shortly after An Wuyang appeared in Bangkok's Chinatown, relevant personnel from the Pufeng Lotus Group learned of the news and acted swiftly.

They first quietly intervened with the relevant patrol officers of the Traffic Division of the Police Department, thereby preventing those patrol officers from clashing with An Wuyang and his group.

Secondly, He Ruijin reported to Ren Tianxiang, suggesting that they could go to Chinatown to try and bump into each other.

An Wuyang was naturally unaware of the Pufeng Lotus Group's behind-the-scenes actions, and he was not actually afraid of the patrol officers from the Tyrande Police Department.

Fines for illegal parking?

Does An Wuyang care?

There are always people who have a high moral standard for the law online, but in the real world, these people are probably just petty thieves!
When An Wuyang got off the bus, he put on a Bluetooth headset, and Su Geli's voice came through the headset.

"Boss, you are free to choose your positions. The situation around you is completely under control," Sugel reported.

An Wuyang led Xia Yuqing and Lu Manman into Potong Restaurant, where they chose the 'loyalty' seat.

(↑Potong Restaurant: Seat of Friendship)

Potong is a fusion restaurant that incorporates elements of both the Tyre and Xia Kingdoms.

The signature dish, "14-Day Dry-Cured Roasted Duck," draws inspiration from Beijing roasted duck. The sauces even include Beijing roasted duck sweet bean sauce, Thai seafood sauce, and chili sauce, among others.

In addition, the "Black Chicken Tart with Herbal Soup" is also a signature dish. This dish is inspired by the health philosophy of the Xia Kingdom. Black chicken meat is made into a crispy tart and served with a cup of herbal soup to achieve a similar effect to "Black Chicken Herbal Soup".

Xia Yuqing looked at the menu and ordered the two signature dishes mentioned above, as well as fried pomfret, homemade ham, and Thai shrimp.

Lu Manman ordered another serving of homemade sausage, along with the signature dish, Yin Yang Noodles.

An Wuyang looked left and right, but instead of choosing the strange Thai-style char siu or the signature Surat Thani oysters, he directly chose a clay pot rice and a mushroom croissant.

In An Wuyang's opinion, these two dishes shouldn't be bad, right?
After ordering, Xia Yuqing whispered, "This restaurant is so expensive!"

Lu Manman agreed, "I roughly estimated that what we just ordered would cost more than five thousand yuan."

Lu Manman wasn't talking about Thai baht!

The current exchange rate between the Thai baht and the Thai kip is approximately 1 Thai kip equals 5.28 Thai baht, but Lu Manman was referring to more than 5,000 Thai kip.

"If it doesn't taste good, I'm going to write a bad review!" Xia Yuqing muttered.

An Wuyang joked, "What if it tastes good?"

“Then I’m going to rave about this restaurant!” Xia Yuqing replied.

"I heard that the head chef of this restaurant is a girl." Lu Manman had looked up information about the restaurant on her phone when ordering.

Xia Yuqing snorted in response, "So what if I'm a girl?"

"If it doesn't taste good, I'm going to write a bad review!" Xia Yuqing didn't care about any of that!

About ten minutes later, the dishes were served one after another.

Xia Yuqing, Lu Manman, and An Wuyang all started to taste it.

An Wuyang first sampled the signature dish, the 14-day dry-cured roast duck, and chose the same dipping sauce as the Beijing roast duck sweet bean sauce.

And then...
An Wuyang felt it wasn't as good as authentic Beijing roast duck!

Xia Yuqing chose chili sauce, and she frowned slightly as she ate it. Lu Manman chose Thai seafood sauce, and she frowned as well. Undeterred, they then opted for Beijing roast duck sweet bean sauce, but found it equally mediocre.

Next up was the [Black Chicken Tart with Herbal Hot Soup]. To be fair, the Black Chicken Tart was alright, but just so-so. As for the Herbal Hot Soup, Anwuyang just rolled her eyes.

Lu Manman and Xia Yuqing only took a small sip before politely declining.

The three of them tasted dish after dish, growing more and more silent as they ate, as if they were playing a video game together.

An Wuyang ordered the mushroom croissant, thinking that this kind of dish was unlikely to be a bad choice.

After all, as long as the mushrooms are fresh and the cooking method is not too bad, it is difficult to make the mushrooms taste bad.

However, An Wuyang underestimated the restaurant's head chef!
As for the taste of the mushroom croissant, although it has some umami flavor, it is too salty, and even a bit cloying.

An Wuyang's choice of claypot rice was also a bit of a disappointment.

Despite the fact that Thai fragrant rice from Thailand is a very famous variety, An Wuyang was surprised that they made only so-so claypot rice.

After all the dishes were served, Xia Yuqing and Lu Manman had little appetite and each drank a large glass of water.

Xia Yuqing complained, "Is this restaurant really a Michelin one-star restaurant?"

"I don't think it tastes good," Xia Yuqing said, expressing her true feelings.

Lu Manman agreed, "I also think it's not tasty. It's just salty, nothing but salty."

"It seems it's not my problem, but rather that all the dishes are too salty," An Wuyang gave the same answer.

Xia Yuqing suggested, "Brother Wuyang, how about we go to the night market?"

"It would be such a shame to come to Bangkok and not visit the night market, wouldn't it?" Xia Yuqing said coquettishly.

An Wuyang was silent for a moment before nodding in agreement, "Alright, alright! Going to the night market is no problem, but don't wander around later, okay?"

"Okay!" Xia Yuqing replied.

Lu Manman agreed, "We won't run around."

After deciding to go to the night market, An Wuyang immediately asked the staff to pay the bill.

When it came time to pay, An Wuyang discovered something else worth complaining about: even plain water required payment, and the cost was a whopping 500 Thai baht, which is roughly 100 Chinese yuan.

An Wuyang and his two companions spent over 5,400 yuan at the Potong restaurant!

This price is just a drop in the bucket for An Wuyang, but the problem is that Potong restaurant is too overrated.
Potong Restaurant has such a great reputation, it's a Michelin-starred restaurant and it's been selected as one of the '50 Best Restaurants in Asia', so what's the result?

An Wuyang's assessment is that his marketing far outweighs his actual abilities!

Honestly, without the added prestige of being a Michelin-starred restaurant or one of Asia's 50 Best Restaurants, any meal costing over 300 yuan would be considered a scam by An Wuyang!
After all, this restaurant located in Thailand hasn't even mastered the basic essence of Thai cuisine.

Thai cuisine emphasizes the balance of spices and the balance of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors, but it seems that Potong restaurant has only learned to be 'very salty'?
Perhaps I've been watching too much Salt Bae?
Anyway, I don't recommend Potong!

This restaurant is the kind that anyone who goes there will regret it; no matter how famous it is, it doesn't change the fact that the food is really bad.

Of course, some people might idolize it because of its price?

After all, even if a restaurant with an average cost of over 1500 yuan per person is terrible, you'd probably still brag about it when posting on social media.

What else?
Is it to prove that I am a vengeful person?
This is the norm in the catering industry: as long as the marketing is good and the price is high enough, customers will naturally defend it.

Unfortunately, this doesn't include An Wuyang, who prefers to tell the truth.

The three left Potong Restaurant and then headed to the famous Ferris Wheel Night Market.

This night market should be a must-visit night market for Chinese tourists in Bangkok, right?

It is also located on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River, just over a kilometer away from the Four Seasons Hotel. It might be more convenient to go there from the beginning.
But it was impossible to go here in the first place.

Choosing the Ferris Wheel Night Market now, isn't it because Potong is such a rip-off?

When An Wuyang and his group headed to the Ferris Wheel Night Market, Ren Tianxiang, the president of Pufeng Lotus Group, was disappointed to find that he had planned to have a 'chance encounter' with An Wuyang in Bangkok's Chinatown.

Who knew that An Wuyang would leave Bangkok's Chinatown without even bothering to stroll around?
Faced with this situation, Ren Tianxiang had no choice but to go to the Ferris Wheel Night Market with An Wuyang.

On the way, An Wuyang suddenly received a message from Alexander Yankovsky, the captain of the GSS North Bear Country squad.

Alexander: Boss, you have a tail behind you.

This means someone is following An Wuyang's convoy!

'An Wuyang: What's going on?'

Alexander: It's uncertain for now, but it's certain that they're tracking you.

An Wuyang immediately sent a message to Sugel, the captain of the GSS Tyrande Squad. He trusted Sugel, after all, it was a reward given by the Happy Life System, so he never doubted Sugel's loyalty.

In response to An Wuyang's inquiry, Sugel quickly replied with a message.

'Sugelli: Sorry, Boss, we'll check the other party's situation based on the license plate right away.'

Less than two minutes later, Sugeli sent another message.

'Sugeli: Based on the license plate information, we have determined that the vehicle belongs to Pufeng Lotus Group.'

'Sugeli: The other party is following us so blatantly, without even trying to hide their whereabouts. I suspect they probably don't mean any harm.'

Despite Suger's analysis, An Wuyang still chose to believe him.

The reason is simple: if Pufeng Lotus Group really wanted to follow him, they wouldn't be so stupid as to be discovered so easily, right?
An Wuyang pondered that the other party probably wanted to 'accidentally' meet him in order to establish the first step of contact?
In the business world, "chance encounters" are a frequently used tactic.

Of course, in the business world, 99% of "chance encounters" are actually fake.

About half an hour later, the convoy carrying An Wuyang arrived at the parking lot of the Ferris Wheel Night Market. Security personnel came down early again and then surrounded An Wuyang and his companions as they entered the Ferris Wheel Night Market.

This time, two security personnel remained in the parking lot to watch over the vehicles, thus preventing any accidents from occurring.

After all, what if the security personnel leave and someone tampers with these vehicles?

Should we check again before getting on the bus?

That would take time and involve uncertainty.

For example, what if it can't be found?

For example, what about an emergency vehicle?
Therefore, leaving security personnel to personally oversee the area is the best option!
