Record of northern Myanmar

On the way, Ahu didn't say where the casino was, and I didn't ask, so we just drove out of here.

I didn't look back, I didn't want to take another look at that place.

Don't want to go back either.

However, I have no idea what is waiting for me ahead.

After all, it won’t be worse than before!

I sat in the car extremely quietly with a feeling of death.

I knew that Ahu was watching me in the rearview mirror through sunglasses from the front.

Looking out the window, the tropical trees are lush.

There are jumbled buildings and wooden sheds on both sides.

Signs written in Chinese can be seen everywhere.

If you don’t know that you are in northern Myanmar, you may mistakenly think that you are in a remote mountainous area in the country.

The roads were not good and dusty.

There were many locals and children running back and forth.

There were also many vehicles, with the people on them, almost all holding weapons, roaring past the streets.

The SUV I was riding in did not stop, but went straight through the dilapidated streets and entered a mountain road.

I don’t know why, but after entering the mountain road, the road became better, the asphalt road was smooth, and the surroundings were quiet.

The quiet and beautiful scenery seems incompatible with everything behind the car.

"Ah Meng!" Suddenly, Ah Hu spoke, "Do you know? You are very lucky! You are also very unfortunate!"

I don't know how to answer this.

The corners of Ahu's mouth raised slightly.

"As long as you remain as you are now and work according to the company's arrangements with peace of mind, I will guarantee that you will make a fortune! If time passes and you do well, you can still be like me! Do you understand?"

We raised our eyes and looked at him in the rearview mirror.

"Got it, Brother Tiger!"

The curvature of the corner of Ahu's mouth became wider, he stopped talking and turned to look at the forest next to him.

I suddenly felt that Ahu was a bit strange.

No one has spoken to me like this in over a month.

It's like... it's like the tone of the old master talking to me on the construction site.

Is he testing me?

But what are you testing me for?

See if I can run away?

They have so many guards every day and carry so many weapons. How can I run away?

I haven't been very talkative since I was a child.

When my parents chatted with relatives, I always sat in the corner with my head down and said nothing.

Even if my relatives asked me something, I would always answer in one word, and I would never say two words.

My dad hilariously said that I am someone who can’t be beaten with a stick.

Could it be that my personality made them think that I was not in the right mind?

never mind!

do not care!

Since I came here, I have encountered this kind of unimaginable thing almost every day.

I always tell myself, forget it, never mind, just die!

But now, the whole thing has an unsettling air about it.

I know I may never go back.

After that phone call to my parents, there was no further contact.

I don’t know how worried they are now.

Can you find out that I'm missing contact and call the police?

Almost every day, I struggled between the hope that there was a way to get home and the despair of my surroundings.

I haven’t had a mental breakdown so far, which even I think is a miracle.

I have seen people who couldn't bear going crazy being thrown into kennels by the guards and being bitten by the wolves and dogs.

I have seen so many scenes that I could never imagine before.

The off-road vehicle drove along the mountain road for more than two hours.

Finally we saw the edge of a town.

"See? It's right there!"

I looked ahead.

"That's the Golden Triangle!"

When I heard this name, all that came to my mind were all kinds of drug lord movies.

On the construction site, apart from playing cards and gambling for money, the workers' favorite thing is to watch various gunfight movies.

There are many movies depicting the Golden Triangle.

This name is familiar to anyone.

I was brought here!

Looking at the unfamiliar environment, the various splendid places, and the big signs with flashing colorful neon lights, I almost thought I was on the busiest and busiest street in Shenzhen.

However, the appearance of dice and neon signs of various scantily clad beauties brought me back to reality instantly.

This is the Golden Triangle, known as a paradise for criminals, an area where drugs are rampant...

My heart sank.

The off-road vehicle stopped in front of a large casino.

"We're here! How's it going? Isn't it grand?"

After getting out of the car, Brother Hu looked forward with me, his tone showing off.

"You will work here from now on. Come on, let me take you in to get familiar with it!"

I plucked up the courage and asked, "Brother Hu, what can I do here? I don't know how to gamble!"

Brother Hu smiled, "You'll find out when you go in!"

He put his arm around my shoulders and walked toward the casino door.

There were several burly men standing at the door.

After seeing him, he nodded expressionlessly and pushed open the huge double door.

As soon as the door opened, golden light came out inside, and there was a lot of people and it seemed very lively.

I saw that the whole hall on the first floor was full of various platforms.

I have seen these tables in movies, and they are all used for card gambling.

There were many people sitting around the stage, and there were many chips in front of them.

Judging by their appearance and attire, they can be found in any country, but most of them have Chinese faces.

Anyway, I can’t tell which countries they are from now.

Myanmar people and people from several surrounding countries all look similar.

"This is just a place for ordinary people to play. Come on, follow me!"

Ahu took me to one side.

There are stairs and an elevator over there.

We got on the elevator and the numbers stopped on the fifth floor.

He led me outside and introduced the situation here.

"The second floor is the dance hall, the kind of striptease you have heard of, haha... The third floor is the hotel, and the fourth floor is the VIP hall. Only rich people, big bosses, and especially rich people can go! The fifth floor Here is a private room, where rich people want to play alone and spend their money, and..." He opened a door, "The boss's office! Brother Song, we are here!"

I didn't expect to see Brother Song here.

Isn't he where he was before?

Why are you here?

"Ah Meng! Hahaha... Come on, sit down. Ah Hu has shown you around, right? How is it here?" Brother Song smiled and waved to me.

Ahu bumped fists with Brother Song, sat on the gold-rimmed sofa next to him, opened a beer and drank by himself.

Brother Song came over and pulled me to sit opposite Ahu.

"Do you like it here?" He smiled happily, "Let me tell you, this is where you can really make a fortune!"

"But I... don't know anything!" I said.

"It doesn't matter if you don't, there will be someone here to teach you what to do!"

"doing what?"

"I just came here today. Have a good rest and relax. I'll have someone take you to your place later!"

While they were talking, someone knocked on the door, and Brother Song said, "Come in!"

A charming woman walked in.

She wore heavy makeup, but she looked very good. She was wearing a long dress that was similar to a cheongsam. It was golden and beautiful.

"Brother Song, has the handsome guy you mentioned arrived?" Her voice was very sweet, a hundred times better than Ah Hong's.

The way he walks is swaying, but it doesn't feel artificial.

On the contrary, it makes people feel excited.

"Amei, you came just in time. Isn't the handsome guy sitting here? His name is Ameng!" Brother Song patted me on the shoulder.

Amei looked at me, opened her mouth wide and made a surprise gesture, "Brother Song, you really understand me, I like it so much! Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore, Ah Meng, come with me, you are me today It’s over!”
