"Yun Ting, regarding your trip to Southeast Asia to investigate Young Master Leng's drug trafficking evidence, since it's a cross-border operation, our police cannot directly intervene."
Pang Yuan took out a business card and handed it to Wan Yun Ting. "However, if you encounter any problems there, you can contact this person. His name is Li Guo Hao. He's a friend of mine and has some influence in several Southeast Asian countries. If you run into any difficulties, you can try reaching out to him."
Wan Yun Ting nodded with a smile as he took the business card. "Alright, thank you, Director Pang."
Pang Yuan waved his hand and offered him a cigarette. "Those Southeast Asian countries are not like our country. They are a mixture of all sorts. You must be extremely cautious when operating there. Never act impulsively. Of course, I know you're not that kind of person, but if anything happens to you there, we won't be able to help you. Do you understand?"
"Understood, Director Pang. We'll be careful."
Niu Qiu Ling booked her flight ticket, trusting the man implicitly.
"It's good that you understand."
Pang Yuan nodded. Having experienced the Golden Triangle incident before, he believed Wan Yun Ting understood the seriousness of the matter.
"Oh, there's one more thing you need to know."
Remembering something, Pang Yuan said, "Through investigations by our colleagues in Shenzhen, the Gao family will be holding a wedding for Gao Zhe in Singapore next month!"
"A wedding?" Wan Yun Ting and Niu Qiu Ling exclaimed, "With whom?"
"Naturally, with the Su family from Shenzhen!"
Pang Yuan continued, "The Gao and Su families have always been on good terms. It's said that the person marrying Gao Zhe this time is the youngest daughter of the current Su family patriarch, Zhang Wen Bai. That mysterious eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Jia Cheng."
Wan Yun Ting raised an eyebrow. "But why would the wedding be held in Singapore?"
"I heard it was Gao Zhe's decision," Pang Yuan replied.
This matter was no longer a secret in Shenzhen. The local news in Shenzhen had even specially reported on this grand wedding between the Gao and Su families that month.
"I wonder if the Su family knows about Gao Zhe's private dealings."
Pang Yuan shook his head and chuckled, "If they don't know, then marrying their daughter to him is tantamount to ruining her life."
"Indeed."
Niu Qiu Ling nodded. It could now be basically confirmed that Young Master Leng was Gao Zhe.
Wan Yun Ting, having finished his cigarette, extinguished the butt in the ashtray and said with a smile, "Let's not worry about him for now. We need to get the evidence of his drug trafficking first. If we're quick enough, we might be able to bring him to justice before their wedding!"
"Mm."
Pang Yuan and Niu Qiu Ling nodded. Just as Wan Yun Ting was about to say something, his phone rang. The caller was Gao Jia Ming. A faint smile touched Wan Yun Ting's lips. "Speak of the devil..."
"Mr. Gao, what a surprise to receive your call." Wan Yun Ting answered the phone with a smile.
Gao Jia Ming, at the Gao residence in Shenzhen, said with a smile, "Dr. Wan, I hope you are well."
"Hehe, I'm doing alright, I'm doing alright," Wan Yun Ting replied with a smile.
Gao Jia Ming and the others were naturally aware of Wan Yun Ting's recent exploits in arresting drug dealers in the Golden Triangle. This had also earned him more admiration from the Gao family patriarch, Gao Tian He.
"It's like this, Dr. Wan. Next month, on the 6th, it's my nephew Gao Zhe's wedding. My father specially asked me to call you and invite you to have a drink of celebratory wine, and also to express our gratitude for your help last time," Gao Jia Ming said with a smile.
"Your nephew is getting married, that's truly good news!"
Wan Yun Ting feigned ignorance and said with a smile, "I will definitely attend then. Is the wedding being held at your Gao family residence?"
"No, it's in Singapore."
"Singapore? That's a bit far. I wonder if I'll have the time to go then," Wan Yun Ting said with a smile.
Gao Jia Ming replied, "No worries. We will also be holding a banquet at home. If you can't make it to Singapore, I'll send someone to pick you up and bring you to our home then."
"That would be excellent. I will certainly come for a drink of celebratory wine then," Wan Yun Ting replied with a smile.
"Alright, then it's settled." Gao Jia Ming said, chatting idly for a few more moments before ending the call.
"It seems the Gao family patriarch values you quite a bit."
Pang Yuan smiled, surprised that the Gao family would invite Wan Yun Ting to Gao Zhe's wedding.
Wan Yun Ting smiled. He knew that he had saved Gao Ya Qin last time and treated Gao Tian He's rheumatic leg condition, and had a very pleasant chat with the Gao family patriarch. However, he hadn't expected them to invite him.
But if Wan Yun Ting knew that Su Jia Cheng, who Gao Zhe was marrying, was Su Ke Er, he probably wouldn't be able to smile anymore!
"Time is almost up, we'll be leaving now."
Wan Yun Ting needed to go home to pack his things and say goodbye to his elder brother and sister-in-law.
"Alright, be careful. We'll be waiting for your return."
Pang Yuan personally saw Wan Yun Ting and Niu Qiu Ling off. He first returned to her place to pack some things. Then, Wan Yun Ting took Niu Qiu Ling back home. After a simple lunch, he informed his sister-in-law about his trip to Southeast Asia. The one who was most reluctant to part with him was Wan'er.
Wan Yun Ting pacified Wan'er for an hour until she fell asleep. Then, he took the opportunity to leave for the airport with Niu Qiu Ling. Fang Yan Xi had wanted to come to see them off, but Wan Yun Ting told her it wasn't necessary.
The two chatted at the airport for half an hour, causing the Niu Qiu Ling next to them to pout and roll her eyes. Seeing that Wan Yun Ting had finally hung up the phone, she blurted out, "New flame?"
"What else?"
Wan Yun Ting turned to her and smiled. Seeing that the time was just right, he picked up the leather luggage bag and headed into the airport.
Niu Qiu Ling also carried a simple luggage bag. The two headed towards the boarding gate together, checked their passports, and after passing through security, boarded the plane...
This time, Wan Yun Ting's primary destination was Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam!
According to Wu Bo Chao and his team's intelligence on Young Master Leng's sphere of influence, a significant portion of his network was in countries like Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore. Therefore, Wan Yun Ting's trip to Vietnam was intended to secretly investigate Young Master Leng's influence among local forces and gather evidence of his drug trafficking...
The flight from Hua Du City to Ho Chi Minh City International Airport in Vietnam took at most two hours. Wan Yun Ting and Niu Qiu Ling were seated in first class. A short nap later, they had arrived at the airport in Ho Chi Minh City.
"Hey, wake up, we're here."
Niu Qiu Ling woke Wan Yun Ting up. They disembarked the plane and entered the arrival hall, observing the bustling airport, with many women wearing the local traditional Ao Dai attire and numerous foreign faces...
Ho Chi Minh City, the capital of Vietnam, is influenced by Western social and economic development and is a commercial hub, once known as the "Paris of the East." Thus, it attracts people from all over the world to develop here, especially in northern Vietnam where foreigners are prevalent, which is also related to Vietnam's history.
Although Ho Chi Minh City is the capital of Vietnam, its economic development is comparable to a city in our country. The local architecture and other aspects cannot be compared to ours, and some areas are even on par with a county town in our country.
"Where are we going now?"
Niu Qiu Ling followed Wan Yun Ting. As they walked out of the airport, they noticed that the most common vehicles on the streets were motorcycles, with very few cars, let alone luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz. Most vehicles here were Japanese models.
"What's the hurry? Someone will pick us up shortly!"
Wan Yun Ting shot her a glance and put his luggage bag on the ground, starting to smoke.
"Who?"
Niu Qiu Ling asked, curious why the man had arranged for someone else to meet them.
"You'll know when they arrive."
Wan Yun Ting smoked, his gaze sweeping over the passersby on the street outside the airport...
"I'm going to buy some water." Niu Qiu Ling was thirsty.
"I'll go with you..."
Wan Yun Ting nodded, bending down to pick up the luggage bag on the ground...
Suddenly, a motorcycle sped from behind. Carrying another person, it cut in front of Wan Yun Ting, snatched his luggage bag, and sped away. The young man then made an internationally understood gesture towards Wan Yun Ting – the middle finger!
