Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1019 1004 [Covering the sky with one hand]

Not far from the Du family residence -
A black Porsche sedan was parked there.

Jiang Ling'er sat in the car, quietly looking at the bustling entrance of the Du family.

From time to time, people passed by her and talked about the Du family's happy event today.

"I heard that Du Yongxiao has a son, and he wants to return to his ancestral home today!"

"Yes, I heard that he is the eldest son and grandson of the Du family. He is already over one year old!"

"This is a very strict confidentiality. If it weren't revealed today, no one would know!"

Two people who knew the news were talking.

"Did you hear that?"

"What did you hear?"

"The mother of Du Yongxiao's child seems to be an acquaintance of Du Yongxiao!"

"Haha, I know this better than you!"

"Tell me what you want to hear."

"It is said that the woman's last name is Jiang, and she used to be a neighbor of the Du family..." one of them said, "The two seemed to be college classmates. Du Yongxiao dated her when they were in college, and then the woman got pregnant with his child. He happened to be promoted to Commissioner of Police, so he didn't announce it to avoid suspicion, and then the woman left!"

"Isn't that just abandoning after having sex?"

"You could say the same thing."

"Poor girl."

"Why are you pitiful? There are so many women in this world who want to marry Du Yongxiao and give birth to children for him. Look, the child has now become the future heir of the Du Group. The mother is honored by the son!"

"Tsk tsk, that's right! I wonder where that woman is secretly having fun now!"

The two of them were talking very loudly, and Jiang Ling'er could hear it clearly.

"A mother's status depends on her son?" Jiang Ling'er smiled bitterly, a trace of sadness on her face, "Maybe for them this is an opportunity, a kind of honor, but for me——"

"Why can't I be happy? Shouldn't I be happy? Little Tangyuan has a new family, everyone loves him so much, and his future is bright. In the future, the Du Group will also be his. Isn't this exactly why I gave birth to him? But why am I crying? Why am I shedding tears?"

Jiang Ling'er reached out her hand to wipe away her tears and smiled, "Yes, I should be happy, today is a happy day. Goodbye, little Tangyuan, I'm leaving, I'm going back to Thailand. I'm different from you. To the Du family, I'm always an outsider and a sinner! You must live a good life, mother will silently bless you from afar, don't get sick, and don't kick the quilt when you sleep at night..."

Jiang Ling'er wanted to stop crying, but her tears flowed like cheap river water and she couldn't stop them.

The driver who was picking her up looked at her curiously through the rearview mirror and couldn't help asking, "Miss, are you okay? Do you want my help?"

"No, drive!" Jiang Ling'er took another look at the brightly lit Du's mansion through the car window, took out a piece of paper to wipe her tears, and said with a sob.

The driver said nothing, started the car and slowly drove away.

On the way——
Jiang Ling'er's tears were still flowing.

She remembered that when she had just given birth, the little glutinous rice ball refused to come out of her stomach. She was sweating profusely in pain and tossed and turned in bed for a long time.

Finally, the midwife had no choice but to call an old man who knew the art of incantation. The old man took a bowl, poured water into it, took a yellow talisman and wrote a spell, chanted something to the flame, and then lit the spell, turned it into ashes and threw it into the water, and asked Jiang Ling'er to drink the whole bowl of water. Then he said, "Your child is extraordinary. As soon as he is born, it will cause a sensation. That's why he is so reluctant to come out! Now I am using the incantation technique to hasten his birth, which is against the harmony of nature and will shorten his life by three years..."

Jiang Ling'er didn't quite believe all this, but before the old man could finish his words, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. In a moment, to the midwife's astonishment, the baby was born!

Jiang Ling'er held the child in her arms, looking at the baby's rosy little face. The little guy was indeed different from other children. Other children were either eager to feed or to sleep after they were born, but he stared at the world with wide eyes. His eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness that only adults have.
Jiang Ling'er wondered if the child had forgotten to drink Meng Po soup on Naihe Bridge in his previous life.

The birth of the child brought hope to Jiang Ling'er's life of hiding, and also brought her good luck.

On the tenth day after Xiao Tangyuan was born, Jiang Ling'er accidentally saved the King of Thailand and received the king's reward. Her luck finally began to turn around. It was also from this day that Jiang Ling'er gave the child a nickname "Xiao Tangyuan".

Because of him, life is sweet!

……

Victoria Harbour——
On the ship to Thailand -
Jiang Ling'er's brother Jiang Muling stood at the bow of the boat anxiously, looking up.

"Why aren't you back yet?"

"How long has this been going on?"

"Sir, do you want to sail the boat or not?" the captain asked as he came out of the cabin with a cigarette in his mouth.

Jiang Muling looked at the watch and said impatiently, "Isn't it time yet?"

"No, sir. We are a privately operated boat. After we have done your business, we are still waiting for the next one. We are not sailing a large dragon boat to accommodate 50 or 60 people at a time!"

"Okay, okay, if you wait a little longer, I'll charge you more!"

"Look, you agreed that if it's too late you have to pay extra!" The captain took a puff of his cigarette and threw the cigarette butt into the sea.

At this time, Jiang Ling'er drove a black Porsche over from a distance——
Jiang Muling waved at her happily and said, "Here! Here!" She turned to the boat captain and said, "People are here, get ready to sail!"

"Hey!" The captain went in to prepare.

Jiang Ling'er got out of the car, got on the boat, and jumped onto the deck. Jiang Muling happily came forward and said, "You're finally here. Hey, where's Xiao Tangyuan?"

"I left him behind."

"Uh, what? Stay? What do you mean?"

"What it means is that I left him to his father."

"What did you say?" Jiang Muling was shocked.

"I leave the child to Du Yongxiao."

"Why? Why did you do this?" Jiang Muling grabbed Jiang Ling'er's shoulders and said, "By the way, did you take money from him? How much? Too little is not worth it!"

Jiang Muling suddenly became happy again.

Jiang Ling'er pushed him away: "Who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who sells children?"

"Why not? Didn't you help him have a baby just for money? Did you really do it for revenge?" Jiang Muling's face changed and she sneered, "Don't tell me you're in love with that Du guy!"

"I don't need you to teach me who I like!" Jiang Ling'er was furious.

Jiang Muling smiled: "Yeah, I don't need to teach you. You have never taken me seriously. I treat you like a dog, but you treat me like a stranger!"

"That's enough! I don't want to talk to you anymore!" "Very good! Really good!" Jiang Muling smiled, "Then we'll talk about it after we return to Thailand."

Jiang Ling'er snorted, ignored Jiang Muling, and walked into the cabin.

Jiang Muling's face showed a hint of gloom, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You forced me to do all this! Ling'er, if I can't have you, no one can!"

Buzz-——
The ship blew a long horn and slowly left the dock.

Heading to Thailand soon.

Jiang Ling'er was upset and couldn't fall asleep in the cabin.

She didn't expect things to turn out like this. Xiao Tangyuan stayed in Hong Kong, and she and Jiang Muling were fighting again.

After all, Jiang Muling was his adopted brother, and had taken good care of him since the Pirate Island. It was right for him to have his own ideas. Was his attitude just now a little too much?
Just as Jiang Ling'er was thinking, Jiang Muling came in with tea and said, "I'm sorry, Ling'er, I was rude just now. I apologize! Here, this is the tea I prepared for you. Just consider it my apology."

Jiang Ling'er felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, "That... I was also wrong just now. I know you have always been very good to me and did a lot of things for me..."

Jiang Muling's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, but it disappeared immediately. "No more words, come, have some tea!"

"Hmm!" Jiang Ling'er took the tea, drank it all, wiped her mouth and said, "Brother, why is this tea a bit bitter?"

“It tastes bitter but it’s good medicine.”

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"Don't you understand what it means?"

Jiang Ling'er was startled, "What did you put in the tea?"

"Don't worry, I just want you to have a good sleep! Ling'er, I have already informed General Chaichai in Thailand, he will help us get justice!"

"You, you, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that it was wrong for you to give the little glutinous rice balls to the Du guy for nothing! Now I want to correct this mistake!" Jiang Muling said, "The general said that as long as you are sent over, he will send someone to tell the Du guy that you have been kidnapped and see what he will do. If he really cares about you, he will pay to redeem you. Otherwise, he is a hypocrite and a bad man through and through!"

Jiang Ling'er almost laughed out of anger: "Don't be so childish, okay? You know very well who General Caicha is. He and the King of Thailand are not on the same side, and we are on the King of Thailand's side, how can he really help us?"

"Ling'er, please don't think so badly of people, okay? I have really already talked to General Chaichai, you will know when we get there." Jiang Muling said, "Now you should have a good sleep, and when you wake up, everything will be settled."

Jiang Ling'er wanted to say something, but she felt dizzy. Her eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, getting heavier and heavier. Finally, she passed out.

……

Thai border -
Military camp location——
Some Thai soldiers in camouflage uniforms are practicing combat tactics.

In the lake, several elephants were bathing and calling.

Some women were washing clothes on the shore.

Seven or eight children were playing war games and laughing.

Inside the thatched house——
When Jiang Ling'er woke up again, she heard a voice beside her ears -
"General Chaichai, I have brought the person here. You must fulfill your promise to me!"

This is Jiang Muling's voice.

A sarcastic voice: "I promised you? What did I promise you? Why don't I remember?"

"Uh, General, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Muling was horrified. "Didn't you promise me that as long as I bring Ling'er to you, you would help us get revenge and threaten that Du guy to pay the ransom?"

"Really? I promised you that?"

Jiang Ling'er tried hard to open her eyes. In front of her was a rough man wearing a general's uniform. He had a vicious look in his eyes, a stubble on his face, a shaved face, and high cheekbones.

General Caicha said in a strange tone, "Oh, yes, I promised you! But I also promised others to give Miss Jiang Ling'er to--"

General Chaicha made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"And the price they offered was pretty good!"

"What?" Jiang Muling was stunned. "Who, who wants to kill Ling'er?"

"This... Haha, I shouldn't have told you this originally, but it doesn't matter now." General Caicha said, "Anyway, you're going to be with Miss Jiang downstairs to be a couple, so I'll tell you! Her last name is Li!"

"Li Zhaoheng?"

"Right!" General Caicha laughed, "This Mr. Li is really thoughtful. He even tried to save Miss Jiang's life while in prison, saying that he was in this situation because of Miss Jiang, and that everything was caused by Miss Jiang!"

"Misunderstanding! It's all misunderstanding! Ling'er and I didn't betray him, he just couldn't beat Du Yongxiao!" Jiang Muling said hurriedly, "Please help us explain to him, it's all a misunderstanding! Yes, Ling'er has nothing to do with that Du, the anti-Du alliance failed this time entirely because of their operational errors--"

"Hahaha!" General Chaicha laughed, "Okay, you bastard, stop talking so much! Although I am a small warlord, I also know how to take money from people and get rid of their disasters! But, this girl is pretty good-looking, it would be a pity to kill her like this--" General Chaicha looked evilly at Jiang Ling'er who had just woken up.

Jiang Ling'er was so frightened that her face turned pale. She wanted to struggle, but her whole body was limp and it was difficult for her to even move a finger. She opened her mouth to speak, but no sound came out.

"Ah, what are you going to do?" Jiang Muling asked in shock, "What are you going to do to Ling'er? You can't do this to her!"

"Hahaha, it looks like you care about her a lot! It's a pity that this girl seems to be obsessed with that guy named Du, but is cold to you... Don't worry, I won't do anything to her!" General Caicha's lustful eyes shifted from Jiang Ling'er to Jiang Muling, his eyes revealed a bit of weirdness, "Because I like men!"

Jiang Muling's heart skipped a beat when she heard that, and she quickly shook her head: "No, no!"

"What don't you want?" General Caicha smiled lewdly, his tone changed, "I just like your innocent look! Damn, what's the point of you being so nice to this girl? Why don't you just be my man and serve me well——"

"No, no! I don't like men!" Jiang Muling shook her head vigorously.

"You can't not like her! If you don't obey me, I'll kill you right now! As for this woman..." General Chaichai glanced at Jiang Ling'er, "It just so happens that I'm planning to open a park on the border between Thailand and Myanmar, with a one-stop service for eating, drinking and having fun. Why not throw her there? With her looks and figure, she must be very popular with men! Hahaha!"

General Caicha laughed loudly towards the sky.

Jiang Muling was so scared that she was stunned.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He looked at Jiang Ling'er, who was also pale, and said, "Ling'er, I'm sorry!" Then he turned his head and said to General Caicha, "It doesn't matter what you do to me, but you can't do this to her! Du Yongxiao, he won't let you go!"

"Du Yongxiao? The man you mean?" General Chaichai laughed contemptuously. "Now I'll tell you, I've sent someone to inform that Du. I want him to pay the ransom! But even if he pays, it's useless. Haha, I will still sell his woman to the industrial park! Let her be ridden by thousands of people and make money for me! No matter how powerful Du Yongxiao is, can he come to Thailand to settle accounts with me? Hahaha!"

In General Chaichai's opinion, no matter how capable Du Yongxiao is, what does it matter?

This is Thailand, not Hong Kong!

In Hong Kong, Du Yongxiao may be able to cover the sky with one hand,
As for here——
He has the final say!
