310 The Best Choice

But who from the Poppy Group did Jiang Tong call? No matter who it was in the Poppy Group, the final decision would be made by General Kun Tong, and she was asking General Kun Tong for a hundred million US dollars…? Old Ghost stared at Jiang Tong with wide eyes.

On the other end of the phone, General Kun Tong was silent for a moment. To be precise, he was stunned. It had nothing to do with his mental strength. The main thing was that Jiang Tong’s 100 million US dollars demand was too much! Whoever heard it would be stunned! The other side was silent for more than ten seconds before asking, “Who are you?” His voice sounded old, but it was also very tough and steady. He was speaking Chinese, and his accent was very accurate!

Jiang Tong knew how to speak Burmese, but she knew that General Kun Tong could speak Chinese, and he was very good at it, so she did not intend to use Burmese to communicate with him.

“I am Jiang Tong. Have you heard of me?” Jiang Tong replied.

“Jiang Tong…” General Kun Tong mumbled, then his voice became heavy. He said, “Old Ghost failed!”

Old Ghost didn’t report to General Kun Tong for every job he took on. However, as long as it was a job from the Shao family or related to the big families in China, Old Ghost would tell General Kun Tong about it. General Kun Tong would also understand the job scope first. They didn’t take on every job! At the very least, he couldn’t touch people of high status!

The Poppy Group wanted to do business to earn money, and they also wanted to do business with the mainland. Putting aside those illegal businesses, legal businesses were also very important. Every year, there were too many domestic businessmen who went to northern Myanmar to buy raw jadeite stones! If the Poppy Group were to really go too far and offend those big families, putting everything aside, he would not be able to do business on the mainland! Smuggling was illegal to begin with. As long as they could find him, it would be easy to strike him down! If it was legal, it would be easier to get him through connections!

When Old Ghost had received the mission from Feng Kun, he had called General Kun at once to inform him. In fact, it was just a customary reminder because Jiang Tong was not an important person from any big family. She was only the girlfriend of Zhou Jingyun, the eldest grandson of the Zhou family. So, Old Ghost himself could tell that there was no problem if he got rid of Jiang Tong!

“Old Ghost is still alive?” General Kun Tong muttered to himself before asking calmly.

“He’s alive. I didn’t kill him,” Jiang Tong replied.

“100 million US dollars? Do you think I’ll give it to you?” General Kun Tong asked, “Don’t you think that’s too much?” General Kun Tong was considering the matter of getting Old Ghost back.

“Is 100 million US dollars a lot? He came to kill me but was caught by me. I’m already being very polite by not killing him. I’m just asking you for money, is it a lot?” Jiang Tong asked in an indifferent tone.

“Old Ghost’s commission for this mission is three million dollars. I’ll add another two million dollars, so it’s five million dollars in total. This is the limit I can accept. You send Old Ghost to the border and hand over the money and the person.” General Kun Tong was dead set on his words. He wasn’t a good-tempered person. The reason why he could calmly negotiate with Jiang Tong was not only because he was calm and shrewd, but also because he was in the wrong! Just as Jiang Tong had said, Old Ghost was caught by Jiang Tong when he went to kill her. If Old Ghost was caught by one of the Poppy Group’s opponents and the other party still dared to ask for a ransom from General Kun Tong, that would be kidnapping and blackmailing! Then, General Kun Tong would definitely be furious. However, the current situation was completely different.

General Kun Tong was a soldier, but he was also a businessman. He had no enmity with Jiang Tong, but they did not know each other! Old Ghost was caught because he had failed in his task. Jiang Tong did not kill him and was even willing to return him. Considering Old Ghost’s value, General Kun Tong was willing to pay to get Old Ghost back. However, he would not accept Jiang Tong’s exorbitant demand! There was another important reason why General Kun Tong was able to calmly negotiate with Jiang Tong!

General Kun Tong could imagine that Old Ghost had failed despite bringing so many people with him. That meant that Jiang Tong was not the only one who had captured Old Ghost! The Zhou family must have gotten involved! He didn’t know much about Zhou Mingfei, only that City Z was Zhou Mingfei’s territory! This was enough! This would make General Kun Tong believe that Old Ghost was in the hands of the heir of the Zhou family, Zhou Mingfei! He really didn’t want to get involved in the big family’s trivial matters. The older he was, the less he wanted to get involved. He would spend money to settle things as quickly as possible! He would even be fine with it if he lost some money! The best choice would be to remove the Poppy Group from the picture as soon as possible!
