When A Snail Falls In Love

Chapter 43.1

"Mina" city was located to the east of Mai Zha city and was the capital of the state of Kachin. Unlike the small, newly prosperous and booming towns, Mina was a metropolis that had many corporations and high rise-buildings. It was also home to many rich and powerful people.

Brother Lu was at the hydrotherapy center receiving a spa bath, when she received the news of the explosion.

Seeing the sudden change in her face,  Brother's Lu subordinate gestured to the beautician to leave the room. Brother Lu sat up, revealing her pale body that was covered with old scars. Holding the phone, she spoke in a cold manner: "There was an explosion, why didn't he die?"

On the other end of the call the subordinate hesitated before answering: "A Chinese policeman was with Zhou Cheng Bo. He was a skilled fighter. Just a moment ago he came to the casino and caused trouble..."

Brother Lu was taken aback. She suddenly remembered some news that she had received a few days ago – a group of Chinese police officials was coming to Yangon to attend a conference with the Burmese officials. However, since the beginning of the year, cross-border crime conferences had been a regular occurrence, and several collaborative initiatives had been implemented, so she had not taken much notice.

To avoid the limelight as the most powerful female gang leader of two countries, she had temporarily gone into hiding and left the running of the business to her subordinates. This differed from the past where she used toattend to all matters, regardless of their importance. The Chinese police were skilled and stealthy with their investigative techniques, and she had suffered bitterly because of them. However, her subordinates had not experienced this hardship yet and were unaware. When she linked the two items of information together, she broke out into a cold sweat.

Thinking for a moment, she said: "Continue to proceed with the operation. When we can return to Mai Zha City, wait for my signal."

Mai Zha City.

When Ji Bai and Xu Xu strode out of the back door of the casino, there were seven or eight thugs with weapons in their hand, following not far behind them.

People have a tendency to follow the crowd. When a group of people are scared and areunsure of the other party's intentions, they are more inclined to wait for an opportunity before they take action. This is the kind of subtle tension that can occur when one confronts the enemy.

However, when they exited through the back door, they were dumbfounded – the thugs who had originally been standing guard at the door, were lying wounded on the ground. In their place were two men who looked as fierce and tough as Ji Bai. Moreover, there were several fully armed Kachin soldiers that stood behind them.

Kachin soldiers were not allowed to step inside the casino, but, if the people who had alreadyexited the casino caused trouble for the soldiers, the soldiers won't need to be responsible for any loss of life.

Ji Bai had not released Xu Xu's hand. Striding past the Kachin soldiers and out of the alley, they finally reached the busy main street.

Xu Xu had completely calmed down by now, she looked up at Ji Bai with a relieved smile. She wanted to take her hand back, but it was held even tighter in his grip.

His face was still tight, and somewhat frightening to behold, his black pupils were like unyielding iron. . .

This sight of him was too intimidating, it even caused her to want to evade his line of vision.
