Chapter 63 Middleman

Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Middleman

Mountain Eagle woke up to find himself lying on a hospital bed, with ice packs tied around his ribcage, shoulders, and abdomen.

A beautiful nurse with big wavy hair was changing his blood transfusion bag. Upon seeing Mountain Eagle open his eyes, she exclaimed in surprise and turned toward Miss Tessa, who was sleeping on the sofa, shouting, "Miss Tessa, he’s awake..."

Like being electrified, Tessa instantly sat up and rushed to the bedside, looking at Mountain Eagle’s somewhat pale face, she said, "You’re awake!"

Mountain Eagle raised his slightly limp right hand, looked at the transfusion tube above it, and said, "It seems I’m quite badly injured this time..."

Tessa shook her head vigorously and said, "It’s okay, don’t worry, the doctor said you were lucky. The injury on your neck isn’t serious, they’ve stitched up the wound, and you’ll be able to leave the hospital in a few days."

Mountain Eagle turned his head to look at the gauze on his upper left arm, he tried moving his left hand and took a deep breath, saying, "It’s good, it’s all good..."

Tessa, holding Mountain Eagle’s right hand and with teary eyes, said, "Rest assured, the doctor treating you is the best surgeon in Bangkok!

He personally told me that your injuries aren’t severe, mostly superficial wounds; your arm is grazed, and there’s a minor crack in your rib, but you lost quite a bit of blood.

As long as you take care of yourself, you’ll be able to walk tomorrow and should be discharged within about a week."

Mountain Eagle knew that recovering his condition anytime soon was impossible, he said helplessly, "What about Pattaya?

I killed Vilter Jackson, if he doesn’t show up for a long time, I don’t know what will happen to those women he held captive..."

Tessa didn’t know that Mountain Eagle wanted to go to Pattaya to retrieve the million US Dollars hidden in Vilter’s apartment...

Seeing Mountain Eagle still concerned about others at this time, she clenched his hand tightly, somewhat distressed, and said, "You’re still injured...

Don’t worry, Supa and the others have gone to Pattaya, they will keep an eye on Vilter’s warehouse at the US Military Base.

This time, we’re not only going to rescue those captive women but also eradicate this cancer completely."

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle sighed softly, secretly hoping that those people wouldn’t find Vilter’s apartment...

Then he looked at Tessa and said, "How about the person who saved me that day?"

"Dead..."

Seeing the concern on Mountain Eagle’s face, Tessa said irritably, "It was Basong, he had been hiding in the Special Forces camp, only appearing at the very end.

Supa and the others hid a wanted criminal from us, if they can’t redeem themselves this time, I will kick him out of the police force..."

Mountain Eagle was stunned for a moment and said, "That was Basong?"

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle quickly put together the overall picture of the situation...

Theoretically, as an injured person, Basong wouldn’t have escaped the frenzied manhunt of the gang across Bangkok, but the guy had vanished as though he disappeared, allowing the gang to comb through suspicious areas in Bangkok without finding a trace of him.

Turns out, this guy had hidden in the Special Forces camp of the police!

Mountain Eagle had dealt with Supa; although he thought the guy was inept, hiding someone by a Special Forces officer on his own turf was simply too easy!

Mountain Eagle wasn’t as angry as Tessa, nor did he feel used, as after all, everything he did was out of his own volition.

Basong taking over the bounty eased a lot of trouble for him, and in the end, Basong took a bullet for Mountain Eagle...

Most importantly, a similar ordeal had given Mountain Eagle a great deal of empathy for Basong...

His hatred for human traffickers had been deeply seeded in his heart since the day his son was abducted...

His happy family was almost instantaneously shattered!

Whenever there was any chance, Mountain Eagle was never stingy in exerting effort against human traffickers, even resorting to deadly measures, which was more in line with his thoughts.

This had nothing to do with nationality, it was simply pure disgust, hatred, and fury!

However, Mountain Eagle’s thoughts did not represent Tessa’s. She too sympathized with Basong, but the way this guy had used the police, even exploiting her and Mountain Eagle, made her exceptionally angry...

"That’s Basong, he was sitting in the police car when you assaulted the mansion..."

As Tessa was about to continue speaking, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Tessa’s mother Deveka and her brother Taigore entered the ward...

Watching Tessa bent over as if she wanted to stick to the sickbed, Deveka shook her head slightly, walked over to Tessa, and said, "Tessa, you smell awful right now..."

Taigore watched his sister lift her arm and sniff her armpit, then he laughed and said, "Indeed, you stink. If I were you, I’d rush home to take a shower and change my clothes.

Leave the rest to me..."

Upon hearing this, Tessa excitedly said, "No way, that Basong deceived all of us, Special Forces 191 are accomplices, I want them to..."

Taigore shook his head and said, "By the time Basong retreated into the camp of 191, he was already in bad shape...

He was severely injured, he only managed to hang on using stimulants to see his daughter one last time.

Don’t blame Supa either, if it wasn’t for Basong already being at that stage, he definitely would have informed us.

The Special Forces 191 suffered heavy losses in yesterday’s operation, and today the Prime Minister will visit the camp to offer condolences, so let’s not trouble them anymore."

As he spoke, Taigore looked at Mountain Eagle, seriously saying, "I know you must have opinions about us, and I admit I underestimated the gang’s strength.

But now that Basong is dead, the plan to bait and capture the gang members through him fell through...

Now, Bangkok police have authority from the Prime Minister and are fully committed to tracking down those gangs involved in the attack, the operation will last for three months."

Mountain Eagle remained silent for a while, then said gravely, "Have you figured out who exactly issued the bounty?

The black-clad gunmen who attacked us last appeared to be professional soldiers..."

Taigore hesitated for a moment, then said, "We have identified the middleman, his name is Sang Kun, a very well-known middleman, broker, and money launderer in Thailand’s underground organization...

Our people are monitoring him, but currently, there’s not enough evidence to arrest him.

The gunmen who appeared in Kongdi District are clearly not locals, we are screening suspicious entries into Thailand through customs over the past half a month, we believe results will come out soon."

Mountain Eagle, upon hearing this, shook his head and said, "Actually, you don’t need to bother so much, Sang Kun certainly knows who they are.

If I were you, I would have just taken Basong’s body to his doorstep and asked him directly...

A 5 million US Dollar bounty, they never said only the gang could claim it, right?"

Taigore, his eyes lighting up, said, "So you mean to use the bounty to coerce Sang Kun into cooperating with us?"

Mountain Eagle nodded slightly...

He knew that the bounty itself had many questionable points, and he was very sure that he was the one being targeted, so bringing Basong’s body to claim the 5 million US Dollars was impossible.

However, the middleman had stirred up so much trouble, for Basong he mobilized practically all of Bangkok’s gangs, causing such a huge impact...

There are costs to that!

If he defaults, the remaining gangs will place all the blame on him...

Mountain Eagle actually very much wanted to meet this middleman because he really wanted to know who had issued such a hefty bounty on him.

Mountain Eagle was confident but didn’t think he was worth that much money!

If this matter behind the scenes couldn’t be clarified, Mountain Eagle wouldn’t be able to sleep at ease!

If Taigore, the Deputy Director of the Crime Investigation Bureau, stepped forward, it would be easy to pressure Sang Kun into compliance...

Even if there’s no evidence to prosecute Sang Kun, the bounty issue could be used to pressure this guy into releasing useful information...

Taigore carefully considered the situation. After thinking for a while, he said, "I’ll think about it..."

Mountain Eagle responded gravely, "If the police find it inconvenient, I, as a temp worker, can go; you guys just need to cooperate with me on the periphery.

Many people have died, you guys can’t just not know who is behind all this..."
