Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Leave Room

Within the office of Thailand Central Investigation Bureau...

While speaking with his parents, Taigore suddenly received a call from Tessa. He answered the phone with a frown, spoke a few words, and then his expression turned severe as he picked up a pen to jot down a name.

"Adakuan Staff"

Taigore pushed the note to his father, Deputy Director of Royal Thai Police Headquarters Mondo, then stood up and moved to the side to privately continue the conversation...

After hearing Tessa’s completely guided official wording on the phone, Taigore didn’t know whether to feel happy or angry as he muttered, "Alright, I know. I need to make some arrangements. Don’t make any moves, especially you, stay put. I will send someone over..."

Ending the call, Taigore walked over to his mother sitting next to his father, bent down, and whispered a few words into her ear...

Deveka nodded slightly with a calm expression, saying, "Inform Special Forces unit 191 to go and provide support. Have them meet up with Gru who’s been following Tessa. Don’t act rashly..."

Upon hearing this, Taigore became somewhat anxious and said, "Mom, I meant I should go, otherwise I can’t be at peace about Tessa..."

Deveka glanced at her husband Mondo, who was engrossed in the crime scene photos on the table, slightly shook her head and said, "With Gru and his team there, Tessa’s safety is not a problem.

You need to wait for your father to think it through before you can decide."

Mondo, the senior police officer with a rather ordinary appearance but whose deeply etched frown lines gave him an unusual air of authority rare amongst Thais,

stared at the photos of Tessa’s attack and Vilter’s death scene for a long time, then placed his son’s note next to the photos...

"Do you think this Yue Shan is reliable?"

As he spoke, Mondo tapped on Vilter’s death scene photo and continued, "This guy’s death hasn’t been disclosed yet. Once it is, people will start coming to us.

Yue Shan is a lone wolf style assassin, extremely brutal!

Is his proximity to Tessa intentional, or just a coincidence?"

Taigore, touching his chin, replied, "I checked the surveillance footage at the mall; their meeting was definitely a coincidence, and Tessa seemed even more proactive and happy while with him...

His file shows that Yue Shan grew up in Kokang, and after his father and grandfather died fighting for Thailand, he was granted citizenship...

His record doesn’t include military service, but he did join an international security company in Singapore, and it wasn’t through resignation that he left.

I suspect he returned this time to scout for that security company...

Lately, piracy around Malacca has been rampant, and Kamui’s location is favorable. Establishing a branch there could synergize with Singapore and capture more business opportunities."

Speaking this, Taigore looked at the photos on the table, helplessly adding, "But this guy is indeed very brutal; maybe we should keep him away from Tessa!"

Thailand’s intelligence system, especially externally, is nearly non-existent, and the background bought by Mountain Eagle for 300,000 from the Blood Fox helped him misconstrue it even further.

The information on the supposed identity and resume provided by the Blood Fox Gang, where almost every item was fabricated to justify Mountain Eagle’s existence.

The so-called Singapore security company does exist; however, it’s only a shell company used by Blood Fox for bookkeeping, and the bank and international credit cards Mountain Eagle currently uses were issued through that company.

Had it been a more prominent national police force, they could formally issue a letter to seek assistance from Singapore or informally have a high-ranking officer call, easily discovering it’s a shell company.

But the Thai Police couldn’t do that, so one wrong assumption lead them entirely astray!

Honestly, Thailand is only about the size of Sichuan, and though it has a population of 70 million, sometimes the government requires the coalition of four or five political parties to form a cabinet...

In such a scenario, it’s fair to describe Thailand’s politics as loosely organized.

Only because Thailand itself has no political ambitions in Southeast Asia, and the monarchy and military hold substantial power, has political turmoil not caused significant damage.

In this context, a powerful department like the police is a target for all parties, and Mondo needs to continuously strive and maneuver cleverly to keep a relatively independent stance and avoid becoming someone’s puppet.

Like this time, a Basong and a bounty have put the Bangkok Police in hot water. Once the situation gets out of control and the military intervenes, Mondo will definitely be criticized fiercely, and perhaps Deveka and Taigore could also be held accountable.

Now, Mountain Eagle has provided him a straightforward solution, and has taken the most troublesome blame himself.

Such an operation targeting a Congressman, if conducted by Taigore, could jeopardize his position if any slip was caught.

You see, the police force can make mistakes, and the Thai Congress has the right to investigate, but in case of any issues with Mountain Eagle, the police have the right not to investigate or fail to find anything.

The difference here is significant, and this gap is exactly the space Mountain Eagle has left for Mondo, a big player.

With this space, as long as they act according to police rules, they can achieve the desired results.

Police catching criminals surely contributes, Bangkok regains peace...

As for the deceased Vilter, well, the method suggests it’s the work of a gang...

And the about-to-be unlucky Congressman Adakuan, well...

The police won’t know why the gang targeted the Congressman, nor why there were trafficked women in his estate; we were just informed and entrusted to protect the Congressman and his family.

Of course, one can deduce afterwards that the Congressman is suspected of buying and imprisoning women, as the identity of that woman led to the upheaval in Bangkok and then drew the attention of the gang.

Whatever the narrative, one thing is sure...

Gangs act with fierce impunity, and to avoid complications, they seek military help to preserve Thailand’s image as a tourist nation and for social stability, the police needs more funding to handle increasingly complex social situations.

Now, Mountain Eagle has punctured a hole in the bag, giving Mondo a stretchable space to comfortably address problems.

For someone like Mondo, who isn’t obsessed with rules, a clear-headed and problem-solving person like Mountain Eagle is definitely rare talent!

At critical moments, a person like Mountain Eagle is a sword able to pierce through complications!

The Thai Police Team’s combat ability is truly inferior, the only notable is the Special Forces 191, equipped with discards from the army.

This situation got so escalated, and yet the military has not intervened, simply because Mountain Eagle has kept it within a controllable extent.

Mondo pondered for a few minutes, then said to Taigore: "Keep an eye on it!

Let Tessa decide on her part..."

Taigore realized something, closing his eyes to ponder his father’s idea, he said, "Dad, Tessa is not suited to be Police, and Yue Shan might not agree..."

Mondo listened and shook his head with a chuckle, "Agree to what?

He is just Tessa’s boyfriend, a commendable volunteer Police, how can you ask him to do something against Police principles?"

At this point, Taigore understood; his father was not only prepared to claim ignorance himself but also expected his mother and himself to know nothing.

That was the truly cautious approach because seeing whether someone is worth investing in takes a long time to observe.

No need to deliberately do anything, just keeping a close relationship when both parties are anxious helps, and lending a hand when needed.

Even without doing anything excessive, slowly building a relationship can be crucial in key moments.

For Mondo’s family, time is not an issue; caution is what this family should strive for.

Maintaining contact with Mountain Eagle, if needed, that’s a good card to play, if not needed or if Mountain Eagle refuses to help, they lose nothing.

Taigore nodded, showing his understanding, and as he was about to speak, a call came to his phone...

After listening for a few seconds, Taigore’s eyes widened as he said, "Some people have recruited a group of smuggled Myanmar migrants; they have gone to Adakuan’s estate in Ratchaburi..."
