Which Bastard?

The choice of this pick-up location was very deliberate.

Not far from the Mekong River, just a mile or two away, lies the surging river.

"Was Xie Liqian's plan poorly kept secret, or did the seller or the middleman have ulterior motives?"

Kang De drove the three trucks one by one to the riverbank, then unloaded all the weapons and ammunition into the White Mist World, creating the scene that the weapons and equipment had been transported away by boat. The Autobots found the small, scattered electronic devices hidden among them; these little gadgets had no secrets from the Transformers.

As for the few people lurking nearby, Kang De used invisibility to get close and knocked them all unconscious.

Kang De's use of invisibility and life detection spells was practically like having X-ray vision.

"Tsk..."

A flame rose from Kang De's hand, illuminating the faces of the men.

"Damn, he looks a bit like China person?"

He had never met Myanmar or Southeast Asia people before, but he felt a strange sense of closeness to these men because of their dignified appearance.

But why are China people here? And why are they doing this kind of thing?

Kang De's first reaction was...

--shut up!

China is a responsible major power. Why would it send strange people to its good neighbor? Only American Empire would do that!

However, the social atmosphere has deteriorated in recent years. In this entertainment-driven era, working people have become complacent. With the increased consumption of foreign blockbusters, even the way people address each other has become more neutral.

Holy crap, they're just spies, not agents. They have absolutely no sense of vigilance or fighting spirit.

"Hiss... This is getting complicated. Just who are they?"

Kang De stroked his chin.

The Autobots said, "Interrogate them?"

Kang De rolled his eyes and said, "What the hell are you asking? He really is China, and the kind of person who is... um, what do we do?"

He thought for a moment, then bent down and took the hands of the five people hiding around, lining them up neatly. Then he waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's go. Let Xie Liqian deal with the rest."

Kang De remained remarkably calm throughout.

Even if Xie Liqian's plan was not kept secret, Myanmar person at some point in this trade transaction, deeply understanding the greater good and grateful for the kindness of the Celestial Empire, proactively informed the Chinese government. Through a series of coincidences, relevant departments followed the clues and eventually brought down his Master Kang.

That's okay, we can just be honest.

It's just another path.

Putting everything else aside, at least you don't have to go through all that trouble to travel all the way to Myanmar and take such a long detour to buy these things.

--Comrade, take whatever you like!

Kang De didn't know what would happen on this path in the future, but the only thing he was sure of was that he would definitely make things difficult for Xie Liqian.

Kang De activated his ability, taking the Autobots back to the White Mist World.

Go play by yourself.

He pointed to the mountain of weapons, like a father buying toys for his child.

Before coming, Xie Liqian repeatedly emphasized that the quality of this batch of weapons was not very good. How good could the guns circulating here be? Most of them were "Golden Triangle Firearm Family," which are products produced by the arsenals of the ethnic armed special regions in Northern Myanmar. They mainly imitated a series of light weapons from China and formed their own gun families after a series of modifications.

The variety is complete and diverse, and they all have a strong sense of familiarity, making it easy to tell which gun model they are copying. For example, the light machine gun is obviously a copy of the Type 81 Squadron, but the handguard shape is different, the muzzle shape is different, there is no carrying handle, and even a civilian small-caliber sporting rifle scope has been randomly added to force a tactical look, like a battlefield game. The automatic rifle is a copy of the Type 81-1, with green plastic handguard and grip...

However, Xie Liqian assured him that although it looked a bit strange, the quality was still acceptable. In fact, the weapons factories of the ethnic armed special zones in the Golden Triangle had already reached a certain scale and had established a set of process standards, so they had already achieved a certain degree of standardization and standardization, which surpassed the small workshops of non-governmental armed groups in most parts of the world.

Besides a large quantity of qualified ammunition, what satisfied Kang De the most was their self-designed and developed multi-purpose grenade, which could be thrown, fired from a gun, or projected using a grenade launcher. This thing was not only powerful enough, but also simple to manufacture and suitable for local production conditions, making it both green-skinned and industrial.

Given that the multi-functional grenade's casing is made of green plastic, Kang De even considered simply giving the dozens of grenade launchers he had equipped to the green-skinned soldiers so they could use them as rifles...

Bomb gun, yes, yes.

In addition to these self-developed and manufactured products, some foreign products were also supplied, and of course, the prices also increased accordingly, such as Eternal Justice, Classic and even Sacred RPGs.

The Autobots transformed into a hybrid of machine and human, and began to devour loads of ammunition and firearms.

"Find your own place to test it, but don't break too much stuff, and don't hit my house."

Iron Son excitedly agreed.

Before leaving, Kang De gave a loving smile, like a dutiful parent reminding their child not to forget their homework while playing. "Oh, and after assessing the power, remember to submit an enchanting plan."

Then he snapped his fingers and teleported back to the location of the spatial anchor point, namely the hotel in Xishuangbanna.

Appearing on the hotel balcony, Kant found Xiaoman's room light still on, and could vaguely hear the girl's dissatisfied arguing. Kang De pushed open the door and went in; Xiaoman was on the phone, her tone becoming increasingly agitated.

"It's okay! I said it's okay! Being with Kang De is fine! Don't be so loud! We're going back tomorrow... no, today! What's wrong with going to Yunnan? Isn't this China?"

She paced back and forth in the room, clutching her head, looking utterly helpless. She didn't even notice Kang De coming in. Uncle Wang's roar could be faintly heard on the phone. Then, Xiaoman exploded too.

"What's wrong with you today? Calling me late at night and yelling at me, what did I do? What's wrong with going to Yunnan for a trip? You should have told me beforehand if you didn't want me to go, why didn't you notice before? Huh?"

After arguing for a while, Xiaoman threw her phone aside and turned around to see Kang De.

"How annoying, what's with all this crazy talk in the middle of the night?"

She muttered, "He suddenly called me, asking where I was. I said I was in Xishuangbanna, and his voice almost blew the roof off. He even cursed at me. It was so inexplicable. He didn't care at all where our daughter was. After he found out, he started acting crazy. What's wrong with him today?"

Kang De was also puzzled, but he couldn't say anything bad about Uncle Wang, so he could only comfort him, "In his mind, I offended the Xie Family, suddenly ran to the border region, and then took you with me, so he's worried, isn't he?"

Xiaoman snorted and looked at Kang De again, "Is the matter finished?"

"Almost."

Kang De said, "It's getting late. I should get some sleep, catch my flight back when I wake up, and that should be about it."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoman murmured, "Are you going back?"

They spent the last two days together and had a very pleasant time, but Xiaoman knew in her heart that Kang De would still have to leave.

Kang De nodded and said, "Hmm... I need to go back and prepare; it's time to go."

Xiaoman remained silent, her eyes seemingly holding a thousand unspoken words, yet she uttered none of them.

She said calmly, "It's getting late, I need to catch a flight after I wake up."

Kang De nodded and said, "Yes, it's time to sleep."

The girl glanced at him, then her gaze drifted away, and two blushes appeared on her beautiful face. She said casually, "So what are you still doing standing here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kang De realized what was happening and walked towards the door. "Then you should get some rest. I still need to call Xie Liqian... I was just thinking about something."

He opened the door and left.

Xiaoman stared blankly at his figure, opened the door and left in one smooth motion. The girl stretched out her hand like Erkang, opened her mouth, but didn't manage to utter a single word.

She stood there stunned for a long time, too lazy even to roll her eyes.

"Incredible, absolutely fucking incredible..."

After sighing, she nodded and muttered to herself, "But this is a good thing... at least it proves he didn't mess around in the infinite world..."

Kang De returned to his room and called Xie Liqian, waking him up, or perhaps Xie Liqian wasn't asleep at all.

"You're not good at this job."

Kang De chuckled, "You've caught a few sentries, and some high-tech tracking devices and eavesdropping equipment. You'd better pray there's nothing funny about it."

Xie Liqian, as expected of someone who had seen many storms, didn't lose his composure and utter nonsense like "How could that be?" Instead, he calmly said, "I was unaware of this. If I wanted to deal with you, I wouldn't only have a few unsuspecting people. If this matter gets to the national level, it won't do you any harm; on the contrary, I'll be in a very passive position."

Kang De said calmly, "And then?"

"I've done similar things before. I have reliable connections, and the secrecy and security measures are very meticulous. I never let anything that shouldn't be in China enter the country, so the authorities won't investigate too much about what we've done abroad, as long as it doesn't harm the interests of the Republic. This transaction went through the dark web at least twice during the application process, making it almost flawless..."

Xie Liqian said, "Therefore, you don't need to worry about leaks or exposing yourself."

Kang De said calmly, "I just think you didn't handle this matter well."

After a moment of silence, the person on the other end replied, "Of course, I will give you an explanation for this matter—in fact, there are only two possibilities for this to happen: first, some middleman broke the rules; second, a domestic competitor in the same field is trying to sabotage me."

"... I don't care which possibility it is, you figure it out yourself. Don't be so careless next time."

After hanging up the phone, Kang De lay back on the bed, feeling as if he had overlooked some details.

He frowned, pondering everything that had happened that night, until he fell into a deep sleep.

"I'm so disappointed. Your performance this time was absolutely idiotic!"

In H City, at the Splendid Qianjiang River Residential Community, next to Kang De's house, Uncle Wang was angrily ranting on the phone. After the other party awkwardly apologized and agreed, he hung up.

He glanced at the call log on another phone, sighed, and dialed a number. "Old Wu, could you take a few people and do me the trouble of taking the morning flight to Xishuangbanna to pick up my two kids... Yes, I'm a little worried, just in case."

Wang Yongzhi leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, and cursed.

"Old fox."

The thought of the potential conflict and enmity between Kang De and the Xie Family gave him a headache. He wouldn't feel at ease with the Kang Family until he caught that old fox Xie Liqian by the tail.

He was very familiar with the men who would be carrying out the mission tonight. They were the most famous and well-known mercenary group in Northern Myanmar, and the two sides had cooperated successfully several times. He had great confidence in their abilities.

And tonight...

"Damn, which bastard has Xie Liqian hooked up with...?"

PS1: Update, second update... Damn, I let my guard down. I'll keep trying tomorrow.
