Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Releasing Pressure

Tessa’s apartment is in the Siam District, not very spacious but the interior decoration is exquisitely done...

Mountain Eagle stood on the balcony of the apartment, watching Suka and Jelate who had given them a ride back, drive away from the parking lot below the building...

He turned his head to take the bottled water that Tessa, who had somehow changed into pajamas, handed him and said with a smile, "Isn’t it a bit wrong to use me as a shield to deceive your own mother?

It seems like your mother is particularly against you continuing the investigation. If I were you, I’d seriously consider having a talk with her."

Tessa took a sip of water and naturally wrapped her arm around Mountain Eagle’s, looking at the night view of Bangkok, her expression somewhat helpless, "You don’t understand my family...

Both my father and mother come from Police families; they understand better than anyone the problems one must face to be a successful cop in Thailand.

They support me on the surface but deep down, they really don’t want me to be a cop, so they’ll try to get me away from the front-line police work whenever they have the chance."

Tessa looked at Mountain Eagle, who wore a puzzled expression, and said, "I know they are concerned about me, but they don’t understand my feelings...

I grew up in a family of police officers, and as a child, my play was all about cops catching criminals.

Their conversations during gatherings were all about who caught which criminal and who received what honors...

Since my childhood, I’ve been fantasizing about becoming a good cop, protecting those in need."

Mountain Eagle, having never been nurtured by his parents, found it hard to empathize with Tessa in this respect...

He had seen many friends who are doctors and lawyers, declaring how they would never want their children to follow in their footsteps.

But when their kids reach the right age, they can’t help but push them to study relevant majors, to hand down their accumulated connections and resources.

In Mountain Eagle’s mind, if the parents work hard and the family is well-off, receiving regular pocket money every month, then whatever the parents say is right, and any backtalk is extremely unfilial...

However, maybe the national conditions are different; in Thailand, a family can have many children, and once Tessa’s parents felt their career could be passed on to someone else, they started wanting their daughter to have a different kind of life...

Putting it bluntly, having reached this point, being cops all the way to the top, they would certainly be happy to let their descendants try out different possibilities.

Just by the fact that Tessa’s mom can casually issue a Police ID to Mountain Eagle proves that this family has top-tier power and the capacity to take risks within the police force.

Don’t think it’s parental favoritism to kick Tessa out of the police force; the truth is, in such top-tier families in any field, the person responsible for maintaining success often works much harder than the one looking for new possibilities!

Because the predecessors have succeeded in this field, those who inherit cannot lose!

Those responsible for finding new possibilities, at worst, may lose and come back to cry on the shoulders of their parents or older brother, but after the family funding comes through, they are back to being heroes!

Unfortunately, Tessa clearly does not understand her mother’s good intentions...

Seeing Tessa’s personality, you know she really isn’t quite suited to be a cop.

Simple justice is not enough for her to gain enough room within the Thai Police force...

Due to Thailand’s power structure and Police salary scheme, corruption is rampant in the force.

To maintain the structure of the police force in this situation and actually do some solid work requires extremely top-notch political skills rather than the ability to investigate cases.

Mountain Eagle glanced at Tessa who seemed a bit affected and said with a smile, "I don’t quite understand your thoughts, but I still admire your choice.

However, using me as a shield is a bit not so good!

If your mother finds out you’re pulling me in just to divert their attention, to let them stop focusing on you..."

"You don’t have to be a shield..."

"What?"

When Mountain Eagle turned to look at Tessa, he found that her pajamas had somehow slipped down to her ankles, her naked body reflecting a gentle light under the starlight of Bangkok...

Mountain Eagle was not a novice, but he was somewhat taken aback by Tessa’s sudden burst of passion...

Just as he was about to find an excuse to leave the balcony, Tessa pushed him down onto the lounger, then she straddled him, her legs pressed against Mountain Eagle’s abdomen. With both hands on his shoulders, she leaned forward and planted a forceful kiss...

Mountain Eagle, supporting Tessa’s soft waist, said: "Just to be clear, I take no responsibility for this..."

Tessa appeared to find his statement extremely amusing. With a flip of her hand, she grabbed Mountain Eagle’s vulnerable spot and laughingly said, "Who cares?"

Mountain Eagle.........

............Men are always at a disadvantage in these matters...

Surely there are men who can fend off a beautiful woman with a face score of 80 and a body score of 90 flinging themselves at them, but clearly, Mountain Eagle was not one of them.

Months of high-pressure living had compressed Mountain Eagle to his limit, and when someone finally released that tension, things became uncontrollable.

In fact, compared to Tessa, Mountain Eagle had even more emotions in need of release...

The negative energy within him was released in a series of high and low moans, and after dozens of minutes, the two of them lay on the large bed, gasping satisfyingly...

The hoarse and exhausted Tessa, with glowing eyes, looked at Mountain Eagle’s strong body and said, "You’re stronger than I expected..."

Leaning against the headboard, Mountain Eagle glanced over Tessa’s tempting curves and said with a smile, "What should I say? Thank you for the compliment?"

Tessa wasn’t the type of woman to be meek and dependent. Once her suppressed emotions were vented, her body might have been without strength, but her spirit quickly returned to that strong-willed state.

The emotionally recovered Tessa could tell that Mountain Eagle was hiding something. But she had never expected anything long-term, so she felt no burden...

A man unwilling to show tenderness after the deed isn’t considered a good lover!

Tessa gave Mountain Eagle a shove and said, "There’s some information at the head of the bed. Take a look; we have things to do tomorrow..."

Mountain Eagle paused for a moment, then got up, went into the bathroom to rinse off, and then put on his underwear and grabbed two bottles of water before getting back into bed...

After gulping down half a bottle of water, Mountain Eagle picked up a thick file and began reading closely...

It was obviously internal information from the Thai Police, and he was shocked at what he didn’t know until he looked...

Behind Thailand’s friendly reputation as a tourist destination lurked a very frightening underground industry chain.

Human trafficking, smuggling, organ trading...

Behind Thailand’s booming tourism industry was people’s fascination with the sex industry.

And why do normal countries outlaw pornography? Because once this lucrative industry starts, it can quickly lead to slave trade.

After all, compared to paying a salary to sex workers and the hassle of managing them, slaves are cheaper and easier to manage!

Thailand benefited from the extreme poverty of neighboring countries, which kept the business of human smuggling booming.

Human smuggling and human trafficking are not the same thing...

Human smuggling involves snakeheads helping to bring people from poverty-stricken neighboring countries like Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia to Thailand...

If these people can find a way to support themselves after arriving in Thailand, then the crime of human smuggling ends there.

But the reality is that those smugglers simply can’t find work in Thailand, and that gives rise to a new trade – human trafficking...

Snakeheads take those smugglers to various unscrupulous factories or ship captains, where they are forced into endless strenuous labor in exchange for very meager wages.

Snakeheads not only make money by selling people but also earn from taking a cut of their wages by providing them with certain protection.

And this is just the mildest link in this chain of crime because it still involves some willing participation...

But what follows is different...
