Chapter 156: Chapter 156: There is a Mole

Mountain Eagle heard the answer, shook his head both shocked and helpless...

Speaking conscientiously, Thailand, a Buddhist country, has most people living a Buddhist-likeordinary life.

Although the unemployment rate is relatively high, the rate of violent crime is much lower compared to Thailand’s neighbors.

There is a general consensus that the state of a country’s economy determines the standard of living of its people, and the unemployment rate determines the amount of crime.

But corruption can exponentially magnify all negative issues!

Each system has its own issues, but there is a global consensus: corruption is a major reason for the deterioration of the social environment caused by the bureaucratic system.

Mountain Eagle had seen real big-time corruption — instances where just a signature could transfer a company in Panama or Malta to a signer’s family member, and that company’s account held cash or stocks worth hundreds of millions.

Completely clean domestically, with no way to trace it all!

However, he had never seen those in power personally getting involved in running assassin groups and making money from it.

Old Ghost merely revealed his boss’s identity, and Mountain Eagle roughly guessed how this guy started his operations and how he managed to bribe so many police officers.

The identity of a prosecutor is too convenient, as they have access to lots of criminal and police information.

Manipulating the system to make major cases minor is too easy, and for prosecutors handling a murder case discreetly and swiftly is no trouble at all.

Utilizing criminal case data to find clients, like cases where someone was murdered but the perpetrator is still at large...

Using a voice changer to call the victim’s family, saying I can help you take revenge, and even offering to charge after the fact — how could those families possibly resist?

Finding tainted police officers, grabbing some leverage on them and then using threats and bribes; starting from small things, they can slowly lure them into deep trouble.

These corrupt officers tend to cluster because no one dares to act out alone.

This thing is like an infectious disease, spreading from one to ten and then a hundred, quickly forming a lower to middle-level network.

When everyone becomes trapped on the same line and all are taking money from Replacer, those corrupt officers can’t escape because they have families and they cannot bear the consequences of betraying their companions.

This is the consequence of a key position and power deteriorating!

Of course, just a few years as a prosecutor shouldn’t be enough to reach the current level...

But when a prosecutor encouters an experienced assassin group, and they collaborate...

Replacer provides violence and startup capital, the prosecutor provides services and insider information, and soon they can build up a network of assassins with a protective umbrella!

That yearly hundred million Thai Baht can easily buy any official within the Thai Government.

Mountain Eagle saw the mockery in Old Ghost’s eyes, and he nonchalantly said, "I’m not discussing the law with your boss...

Just a prosecutor, and I suspect he’s not even particularly high-ranking, why should I be afraid of him?

Tell me his real name, and I’ll send him to reunite with you!"

Hearing this, Old Ghost’s eyes widened in surprise, and he said, "How do you know he..."

Mountain Eagle scoffed, saying, "Earning so much money but having to convert it all into gold, that’s someone who has money but dares not spend it.

How high can such a person’s position really be?

Small officials with big secrets end up badly!"

Old Ghost hesitated for a moment, then bitterly nodded and said, "My boss’s name is Tongcai McKinson, a clerk in the Thailand Supreme Prosecutor’s Office..."

Mountain Eagle wrote down the name, then curiously looked at Old Ghost, saying, "With your personality, how did you let a clerk boss you around?"

Old Ghost hesitated again, a trace of fear appearing in his eyes, then he shook his head and said, "Because my boss is Replacer’s designated partner..."

"Got it, so this Tongcai or rather Carlos has a company group backing him...

Wolf Company allows the lower levels to fight amongst themselves but needs the higher levels to maintain stability."

Mountain Eagle then raised the Ruger Silent Pistol, firing two shots at Old Ghost’s head...

Tom next to him saw Old Ghost’s head violently shake, then go limp, and incredulously said, "You just killed him like that?"

Mountain Eagle, while cutting the bonds on Old Ghost, frowned and said, "What, was I supposed to take him back and get him a lawyer?"

Tom, severely injured in both shoulders, slumped on the ground, shaking his head, "I don’t understand, you had so many questions left unasked..."

Mountain Eagle shook his head, "I don’t need to know, because I don’t have the capacity to resolve the problems of the Thai Inspection System, nor the capability to wage a war against an international crime syndicate like Replacer. Knowing too much is a burden in itself.

Taking out the person causing the problems is enough for me and my friends!"

Mountain Eagle had something he did not say...

Because he didn’t know who Carlos was giving out 100 million Thai Baht to every year, and if any big shots from the Pasok family were involved, exposing it would be bad for everyone.

The current situation was very good, but should there be a coup in Thailand, his painstakingly devised money-making plans would be compromised.

That was something he could not accept!

He now had nearly US $23 million in capital that he could use, and Pulichenko’s US $20 million was clean money.

If managed properly, he could earn a 20~30% return in a month, enough to support Mountain Eagle’s forthcoming plans.

Moreover, he had encountered a bastard hoarding gold for the first time, and he couldn’t let him off at all...

He was soon going to handle affairs in Moscow, where the petty antics common in Southeast Asia were completely out of the picture; he needed to retain some trump cards for himself.

Looking at Tom, whose face had turned slightly red and breath had become rapid...

After some thought, Mountain Eagle went out, drove a Pickup left by a Replacer into the warehouse, swiftly stuffed the remaining cash and computer hard drives into the back seat, then pulled open the passenger door, and said to Tom: "Get in, I’ll take you to the hospital. You don’t need my help, right..."

Tom knew Mountain Eagle had no reason to harm him, he struggled to stand up and got into the car, watching Mountain Eagle drive away, he laboriously asked, "You’re just leaving like this?"

"Do I have to collect their bodies for them? That kind of job is surely for the real police to handle, it’s their merit!"

Tom looked back at the pile of cash on the back seat and raspily said, "You took the money, what merit do they have left?

You should have burned the place down, that way the money would all be yours!"

Mountain Eagle looked at Tom as if he were looking at an idiot and said, "Mate, greed isn’t a bad thing, but taking money that isn’t yours can attract a lot of unnecessary troubles and attention.

The more money you have, the greater the troubles and the more the scrutiny!

Not learning how to handle money correctly means not having the capability to control it, and with more money in such situations, your life will be shorter!"

Tom clearly disagreed with Mountain Eagle’s words, he smirked while shifting his position to make himself more comfortable, then somewhat dazedly said, "I think the more money the better. If I had this much money years ago, none of this would have happened..."

Mountain Eagle noticed Tom’s shoulder was badly swollen, he shook his head and said, "You better not pass out, tell me about your past..."

Tom felt his eyes gluey, he struggled to raise his hand and buried his face into his palm, rubbing it...

"My name is Tom, I have a wonderful mother, but unfortunately, my father was a hopeless gambler and drunkard..."

............

Tom faintly saw himself being lifted onto a hospital bed, then saw a group of doctors in white coats around him, the surgical light above was so bright he could barely keep his eyes open...

When he fully regained consciousness, he saw a nurse changing his urinary catheter...

The middle-aged female nurse noticed Tom was awake, she walked forward two steps with the urinary catheter causing Tom to grunt, seeing the troubled look on Tom’s handsome face, she put the changed catheter back and smiled apologetically, saying, "You’re awake..."

Tom licked his dry lips and said, "Where is this? I need a drink."

The nurse picked up a cup of water from the bedside cabinet, placed a straw in it, and brought it to Tom’s mouth...

Seeing Tom greedily take a few sips, the nurse decisively pulled the cup away and said, "You can’t drink too much..."

As she spoke, the nurse pulled out a note from her pocket and placed it in front of Tom, saying, "This is from Officer Yue Shan, he paid your surgery and hospital bills and also gave me 5000 Baht to take care of you during this period...

I’m Nida, you can call me anytime you need."

Tom’s arms were immobile at that moment, he looked at the note in front of him, which had only two Chinese characters and a string of phone numbers...

"Is he really a policeman?"

As he spoke, Tom looked at Nurse Nida and asked, "Where is this?"

Nida smiled and said, "This is Bangkok Hospital’s Pattaya branch, your friend took great care of you, he got you the best surgeon in the hospital.

Don’t be afraid, the injury on your shoulder will recover in a month at most, the doctor used special cosmetic stitches, the scars won’t be overly visible, it shouldn’t affect your future..."

Tom curiously said, "How does he know what my future holds?"

Nida looked at Tom with a caring gaze and said, "Officer Yue Shan said you were abused by your stepfather, he rescued you from the basement of your home.

Don’t worry, undergoing gender reassignment is not taboo in Thailand, pursuing your dreams is not wrong, wrong are those unenlightened barbarians."

Tom, nervous, said, "Me? Transitioning?"

As he spoke, he felt a chill in his lower body, then he shakily tried to lift his head and said, "Please uncover the blanket and let me see..."

Nida frowningly lifted the blanket, revealing Tom’s naked body...

Tom saw his manhood was still intact, he dryly laughed and lay back down...

Nida comfortingly patted his arm, covered him with the blanket again, and said, "Don’t be disappointed, our hospital has the best reproductive surgeons, once your wound heals, you can..."

"I don’t want to..."
