Chami never expected that his dad, who just went out for a walk, would return as a police officer.
Although only a Volunteer Police, this was still a very impressive profession in the little boy's heart.
As Chakdi was answering Tessa's questions, Chami was continuously circling the table they were sitting at with his little sister...
Chakdi wanted to scold him several times, but was stopped by Mountain Eagle...
Mountain Eagle really liked children, and the lively Chami reminded him of his own son, so he decided to let Tessa take the lead in questioning. He then picked up the little girl who was still sucking her fingers and started playing an arm wrestling game with Chami.
Chakdi relayed the entire conversation he overheard from two Wudong Gang members on his boat, which made Tessa somewhat distracted.
Tessa had always been a non-traditional police officer full of a sense of justice. In fact, after seeing Chakdi's information and concluding her inquiries, she didn't want to trouble Chakdi anymore.
But she didn't want her first case in Kamui to become a cold case, so when Mountain Eagle proposed his method, she agreed.
Changing Chakdi's identity from the root would twist the interest of the case, allowing it to be closed while also not harming Chakdi's already fragile family.
The information provided by Chakdi was valuable, giving Tessa some ideas on how to deal with the issues of the Wu Clan gang...
Seeing the smile on Mountain Eagle's face while he played with the kids, Tessa held back the words that were on the tip of her tongue...
She rarely saw Mountain Eagle so relaxed and happy, especially the way he was with children, reminding her of Mountain Eagle saying he had a child...
At that time, Tessa thought Mountain Eagle was just brushing her off, but now it seemed to be true!
Quietly watching Mountain Eagle play for a few minutes, Tessa's phone suddenly rang...
After she answered, she looked at Mountain Eagle and said, "We need to go..."
"Ah?"
Mountain Eagle handed the laughing, out-of-breath little girl to her brother Chami, then glanced at Chakdi and said to Tessa, "Is it finished?"
Tessa nodded and said, "It's finished. Those two wanted to arrange a group of people and arms to enter Kamui, and their target seems to be a Big Russian who will be arriving in Kamui soon.
Just now, Sofia called me. She said that some smuggler in Kamui sent her a message. This morning, a smuggler in Phuket received a big deal.
I suspect those people didn't wait for Chakdi's boat, so they landed from the direction of Phuket.
It only takes 3 hours by boat from Phuket Island to Kamui...
The government of Phuket is currently tense with us; we can't block those people."
"A Big Russian coming to Kamui soon?"
Mountain Eagle muttered, murmured to himself: "Not coming for Anna?"
Tessa said seriously, "It might not be targeting Anna, but there's a high probability it's related to her.
You should give her a call and ask if any significant Russian figures are coming to Kamui soon?
There are many Russian tourists in Thailand, but the real wealthy ones seldom come to Kamui. If Anna is as impressive as you said, she should have some information."
Mountain Eagle nodded slightly, stood up, looked at Chakdi, and said, "Come to the Volunteer Police office at Ao Nan Beach tomorrow morning to report and sign the contract."
Saying this, Mountain Eagle glared at Chami, who was making faces at him, and laughed as he clapped his head, saying, "Dad's paying, so hurry up and pack up the eel lobster I want."
Chakdi, a bit nervous, took out two thousand from his son's pocket and handed it to Mountain Eagle, nervously saying, "No, no need for money..."
Mountain Eagle put his arm around Chami's shoulders, laughing and saying, "A good police officer pays for what they buy, that's what your son says.
I think I'm a good police officer, I can't let a kid look down on me."
Saying this, Mountain Eagle took the money, stuffed it into Chami, then looked at Chakdi with a laugh and said, "Clean up your face tomorrow, bring your wife and kids too, they certainly want to see you in your police uniform as soon as possible.
Also, help me check my speedboat tomorrow and take me out to sea for a round.
I swim every day as exercise, the pool is a bit too boring, want to find a clean, beautiful sea to swim in, and maybe do some fishing while I'm at it."
Chakdi, seeing Marta start to pack up Tessa's things, finally completely confirmed that everything Mountain Eagle had said was true...
Watching Mountain Eagle walking out with a cane, Chakdi clasped his hands together, chanting a prayer, and watched as Mountain Eagle and the others got into the car and left his small village.
There are no secrets in a small village; once Mountain Eagle and the others left, the surrounding neighbors all came to Chakdi's house to find out what happened...
When they heard Chami proudly say his dad was going to be a police officer in Ao Nan, the surrounding neighbors asked in surprise for a few moments, and soon, the news spread throughout the village.
Chakdi watched his wife, who usually walked outdoors with her head down, avoiding eye contact with people, suddenly start loudly chatting and joking with the nearby neighbors, watching his son pulling his sister as if they wanted to boast to everyone they knew...
This man, who had climbed out from hardship, touched the surgical scar on his waist, then made up his mind...
Even if it meant selling his life, he would let his wife and kids walk with their heads held high for the rest of their lives!
During dinner, Mountain Eagle bought two large copper pots and several types of hot pot ingredients from the lokal Chinese supermarket.
He went to the market to buy some vegetables and fruits, came back home, prepared a pure seafood base and a butter base for the hot pot, then simply made some seasonings, and gathered everyone for a steaming hot pot meal.
Although someone started having stomach trouble that night, Mountain Eagle was very pleased...
Tessa was walking the dog after dinner with Mountain Eagle, and curiously asked, "What's with you today? Is it because you helped Chakdi?"
Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe that's part of the reason...
But I think it's more about Chami, that kid...
Kids are easy to satisfy, their happiness is genuine happiness, a little gain, a little respect can make them happy for a long time.
To fulfill a child's fantasy about a father, allowing him to proudly raise his head, that makes me very happy!"
Listening to this, Tessa frowned, looked at Mountain Eagle and asked, "You once told me you have a wife and son, is that true?"
Mountain Eagle nodded, "It's true..."
Upon hearing this, Tessa pressed further, "Then why aren't you together? Are you divorced, or was there an accident?"
Mountain Eagle didn't intend to hide anything, he gave a bitter smile and said, "I had a bit of an accident, and I temporarily don't have a chance to be with them."
Mountain Eagle then perked up and said, "But I believe that in a few years, when some things blow over, there will be a chance..."
Tessa, true to her Thai nature, hooked her arm through Mountain Eagle's, squinting at him, and said, "That means I can monopolize you for a few more years!
Is your wife prettier than me? Does she have a better figure than me?"
Taken aback by Tessa's questions, Mountain Eagle looked down at the hand fiercely gripping his waist, shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "If you're angry, just squeeze a bit harder, I'm already like this, I'll have to endure the pain anyway."
Then, Mountain Eagle put his arm around Tessa's shoulder, sat down on a wooden bench, and looking at the last trace of sunset on the sea, said, "She's different from you, but there's one thing you have in common, that's both of you are police officers.
I don't consider myself a bad person, but I have done many terrible things, so there are very few police officers who can truly accept me!
There's another similarity, both of you are people I think I can place my full trust in!"
Thai women have very different requirements and standards for marriage and love compared to Hua Country people...
Although Tessa's answers were not perfect, she never thought about everlasting commitment from the start, so Mountain Eagle's honesty felt somewhat comforting to her.
At the very least, he had more responsibility and provided more security to women than the men in Thailand, where the infidelity rate is nearly 70%.
With such an open mindset, she firstly didn't think there was anything wrong in her involvement, and secondly, she didn't see Mountain Eagle having a wife and kids as any hindrance.
That is, not thinking about the future, but first making herself happy!
The two sat on the mountaintop watching the last gleam of twilight disappear, Tessa, shedding her daytime serious police image, was pulling Mountain Eagle's hand about to flirt, when suddenly Mountain Eagle's phone rang...
Mountain Eagle took his hand away from Tessa's chest and answered the call, saying, "Hey, Anna, any news from your side?"
Anna was clearly in a noisy area, surrounded by wind and wave sounds, making Mountain Eagle sure she was at sea.
Due to the surrounding noise, Anna had to raise her voice, loudly saying, "I asked around a bit, haven't heard of any big Russian bigshots coming here.
Unless Peter Malofov, as well as my boss's financial advisor, also counts as a bigshot."
Curious, Mountain Eagle said, "Peter Malofov? Why would that unlucky second-generation tycoon come to Kamui?"
Anna laughed, "That guy now has a Virtual Coin trading platform...
His father Constantin recently compromised with Boss Pu, then he heard about the difficulties my boss Victor is facing, so he wants to get involved with the trust company in Cyprus.
You know I now lack funds and channels to manage assets, so there's no need to oppose his involvement."
Anna continued with a laugh, "I have made some progress in negotiations with Germany recently, now just waiting for exact information from the United States.
Once the United States Treasury opens a channel for our trust company, the rest will follow naturally.
Mountain Eagle, that friend of yours, Mori, has been quite active recently, you should keep in more contact with him, focus on the progress from the United States side."
Mountain Eagle laughed, "That guy owes me a good boat, he sent me an email yesterday telling me he will come to Thailand next month.
I guess by then things should be more or less settled..."
Mountain Eagle hesitated for a moment, then said, "Give a heads-up to Peter and your boss's team to boost their security level.
We're not sure who the Wudong Gang is targeting, everyone needs to be prepared."
Anna thought for a moment and said, "If those gang assassins are here due to the Ukraine issue, then Peter Malofov indeed might be in danger, as his father is the 'Locust Russia's biggest sponsor, and currently the major sponsor of the Russian side in the Ukraine war."
Mountain Eagle nodded his head, then shook it, stating, "Don't be careless, Peter is just a potential target.
Based on my understanding of gang operations, they need chaos to maximize their advantage and dominate the region.
Perhaps they want to disrupt peace more!"
Anna, a bit puzzled, asked, "Then who are they targeting? Me?
Impossible, right?
Do they want to disrupt the negotiations for the trust company?
Is it necessary?
The high-level issues involved in the trust company negotiations are not something they can touch…"
