Chen Keba actually didn't stumble when he spoke, but everyone called him that, but no one knew where this nickname came from.

When Chen Keba woke up, he found Pang Jindong sitting opposite him, bandaging the wound on his abdomen.

"Who...are you?" Chen Keba looked at Pang Jindong with confused eyes and asked weakly.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that I know who you are!" Pang Jindong said, wrapping the last bandage on and getting dressed.

"You..." Chen Keba was about to speak when he suddenly felt that his whole body was stiff and unable to move. Only then did he pay attention to his situation and found that he was standing and fixed to a machine.

It may not be accurate to say it is a machine, but there are no other words to describe this thing. Every joint in Chen Keba's body is firmly fixed in an iron ring. The iron ring is connected to many gears.

He could vaguely see some electrical devices, all of which were connected to a mechanical alarm clock. The alarm clock was making an annoying "tick" sound, reporting the time to Chen Keba.

Looking at this inexplicable scene and this strange device, Chen Keba suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart. This time he lived up to his name and asked stumblingly: "Do you... want... to...

What to do?"

Pang Jindong smiled and asked, "Have you seen "Saw"?"

Chen Keba shook his head, not understanding the meaning of this question.

"I got inspiration from this movie and prepared this little gift for you." Pang Jindong pointed at the alarm clock and told Chen Keba: "You see, there are still five minutes until twenty o'clock sharp.

, and this machine is scheduled to start running at twenty o'clock. At that time, the gears will drive the fixation devices on your joints and twist all your joints in different directions."

Although Chen Keba had never watched "Saw" and did not understand the operating principle of this machine, he understood what Pang Jindong said, and a row of sweat beads immediately appeared on his forehead.

Pang Jindong lit a cigarette, took a sip, and then said slowly: "If you don't understand what this means, I can tell you that every joint in your body will become a comminuted fracture, and then the ligaments and muscle tissue will

It will also be twisted, and in the end it will be a tragic death."

Chen Keba took a deep breath and asked, "What...are you going to do?"

Pang Jindong did not answer this question, but further explained: "But this process is not completed immediately. According to my settings, the gear will only rotate ten degrees every five minutes. I estimate that it will wait until it reaches one hundred and eighty degrees.

, you are dead. In other words, you still have one and a half hours to live."

Hearing these words, Chen Keba felt a chill, and more cold sweat broke out on his forehead, flowing down the corners of his eyes to his cheeks, and then dripping from the corners of his mouth. And his body was already soaked in cold sweat. He was fixed.

At this moment, my joints felt the coldness coming from the iron ring.

"What do you want to do?" Chen Keba's mind went blank and he couldn't think of any other questions, so he could only repeat what he just said mechanically.

"There is something I want to know from you, because I am worried that you will not cooperate, so I have to do this!" After a pause, Pang Jindong reminded the other party: "Actually, it is right to tell you what I want to know, don't forget

I just saved you."

"That's why you saved me..."

"Yes!" Pang Jindong nodded and told Chen Keba: "It was not easy for me and I took a lot of risks. Fortunately, the scheduled arrest time has not arrived yet and the police deployment has not been fully deployed. Otherwise, we would have been unable to do anything.

It’s hard to fly.”

Chen Keba tried his best to calm down. After a moment of silence, he asked again: "What do you want to know?"

"Your Qingtou Gang recently found a partner. I want to know the details of your partner!"

"How can we have any partners..." Chen forced out a smile and replied, "We are just a member of society, not doing business, so what kind of partners do we need?"

"Since you don't say anything, I have nothing to do!" After Pang Jindong said that, he sat there and smoked a cigarette without saying a word.

Seeing Pang Jindong's leisurely and contented look, and feeling the oppression caused by this device, Chen Keba felt a chill from the inside out, and couldn't help but shiver. For a moment, Chen Keba prayed secretly, Pang Jindong just said

Those words are all lies.

Chen Keba's fear was overtaken by the beeping of the alarm clock, but the sound only lasted for a moment. Then, the device made a "creak" sound, and Chen Keba immediately felt that every joint in his body was being moved by powerful force.

It twisted in different directions. Chen Keba exerted the greatest strength in his life, trying to contend with this force, but it was in vain. No matter how hard he tried, his own body and the device remained motionless.

Move in a prescribed way.

When the device stopped, Chen Keba felt a slight pain all over his body.

Pang Jindong put out his cigarette butt and asked, "Are you going to tell me?"

"Really...there really aren't any partners!"

"Then let's keep consuming it!" Pang Jindong said and lit another cigarette for himself.

When the alarm clock rang for the second time, the device made that horrible sound again. Chen Keba tried to compete with it again, but this attempt failed again. He had exhausted all his strength and all his muscles

Soreness. What's especially important is that when the device stopped again, the slight pain just now had turned into severe pain.

"Ah~~~!" Chen stuttered and screamed, tears of pain burst into his eyes, mixed with sweat.

"I have calculated that within the range of 30 degrees, you are safe, and you will only suffer a little pain. But if it goes above 30 degrees, your body will suffer fractures, and if it goes above 60 degrees..."

"Stop talking..." Chen Keba shouted and told Pang Jindong: "Quickly make this thing stop..."

"How are you talking?!" Pang Jindong frowned slightly, expressing that he was dissatisfied with Chen Keba's foul language just now.

Chen Keba was stunned for a moment, then immediately apologized and said: "Yes... I'm sorry..." Then he begged: "Whatever you want to know, I tell you, please make this thing stop."

"You have to say something first to make me believe in your sincerity!"

While Chen Keba was breathing heavily, he told Pang Jindong: "We...we do have partners...to sell fans together..."

Pang Jindong walked to the device, pressed a switch, and then said: "It is temporarily stopped now. When you tell me everything I need to know, I will put you down and let you leave here safely."

"Really?" Chen Keba asked doubtfully.

"I rescued you because I wanted a living person, not a dead body."

Looking at Pang Jindong, Chen rolled his eyes and said, "I've told you everything!"

Pang Jindong sneered and asked, "You should know more than this, right?"

"That's really all. Our cooperation hasn't officially started yet..."

"Did you tell them all? Not necessarily, at least you didn't tell them that these people are from Myanmar!"

"You..." Chen Keba realized that Pang Jindong knew more than he thought.

"Aren't you going to tell me yet?" Pang Jindong said, about to press the button again.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Chen Keba agreed repeatedly, staring at Pang Jindong's fingers nervously. "I'll tell you everything!"

"Please speak!" Pang Jindong returned to his seat and sat down without pressing the button.

Chen Keba took a long breath before saying slowly: "There is a group of people from Myanmar who reached a cooperation with our Qingtou Gang some time ago. They are responsible for providing the supply of goods, and we are responsible for selling them throughout City B."

"The whole city B?"

"Yes!" Chen Keba nodded and continued: "Start from the bar street first, because there is the biggest market there!"

"But Bar Street is the territory of the Star Dragon Gang!"

"We fought with the Star Dragon Gang in Bar Street before, but we lost. There was internal strife between the Star Dragon Gang some time ago, and we planned to take this opportunity to get rid of their boss and then take over the Bar Street. But we never found the boss.

, the civil unrest was quickly put down."

"So that's it!" Pang Jindong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of the trouble Lin Peiwen had caused herself by staying at home to avoid internal and external threats.

"Later, with the support of the Burmese people, we decided to officially declare war on the Xinglong Gang. Who knew that the police would cause trouble for us every day, but it ended in failure again."

Pang Jindong secretly thought: "The police accidentally helped Lin Peiwen, no wonder she is so happy." Pang Jindong asked again: "Because your Qingtou Gang has collapsed now, these Burmese people want to carry out assassinations and force the police to stop targeting you.

Blow, am I right?”

Chen rolled his eyes, lowered his head and stopped talking.

"You are forced to jump over the wall, and those Burmese people are confused. They do not have a good understanding of this country. Do they think this is a small country? The government will be as weak as the Colombian or Burmese governments? The result of their doing this

, I just can’t gain a foothold in this country!” After a pause, Pang Jindong asked: “You haven’t said yet, what are the names of these Burmese people?”

"What...what's your name?"

"Don't pretend to be confused. There are many gangs in the Golden Triangle. Which one do they belong to?"

With a sigh, Chen Qiba said five words: "The Guogan Republican Army!"

Pang Jindong took a breath: "No wonder they are so rampant."

In the civil war more than half a century ago, a remnant army of the losing side was forced to cross the border and enter the Indochina Peninsula. Some people say that China has never been short of good men, and it is not unreasonable. This army was called

The army, which was beaten to a pulp, swept across a foreign land. The local governments were helpless against this lonely army.

Due to historical and practical reasons, the Golden Triangle area is rich in opium. After the remnants of the army arrived here, they faced a completely unfamiliar environment and surrounded by enemies. In order to survive, they chose to feed the army with poison.

This is a quite complicated history, involving many international relations and political factors. Perhaps due to the disunity of the Chinese people, the remnant army continued to have internal problems and had constant friction with the local Chinese. Later, under the external attacks and attacks by various governments,

Under the differentiation, they eventually split completely, some became mercenaries, and some merged with other drug trafficking groups.

Since then, the Golden Triangle has been turbulent. Several major drug lords have risen and fallen one after another. The remnant army has gradually faded out of people's sight. But what few people know is that a small group of remnant armies who adhere to their own political ideas are closely related to the local people in Myanmar.

The Kokang people united and became the predecessor of the Kokang Republican Army.

At the end of northern Shan State in Myanmar and at the bottom of southwestern Yunnan, there is a Han ethnic group that has survived and multiplied for more than three hundred years. This Han ethnic group is called the Kokang ethnic group in Myanmar.

When the Ming Dynasty collapsed more than 300 years ago, some officials and people of the Ming Dynasty followed the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang and fled to Burma. Later, the traitor Wu Sangui captured Zhu Youlang and hanged him on the forced death slope in Kunming.

However, many civil and military officials of the former Ming Dynasty, their followers and a large number of people who fled into Myanmar refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and lived and multiplied in the wild mountains and remote areas until today.

The Kokang people can be said to be the toughest among Chinese people around the world. When Chinese people in other countries were discriminated against and even massacred, they tenaciously survived in foreign lands while maintaining their own language, writing and culture.
