When a snail falls in love | Liskook

Chapter 49

At the China-Myanmar border.

The water of the Mekong River flowed rapidly while a huge area of dense forest hid both banks from view.

On the dusty road on the mountain, a military off-road vehicle abruptly stopped before several armed soldiers jumped out the vehicle and charged into the forest. A moment later, they surrounded the hillside.

The rustling off foliage was heard as a lady suddenly stumbled out of the forest. After many days of running, her clothes had turned ragged and her face looked pale. A soldier grabbed her long hair while another soldier ruthlessly hit her waist with the butt of his gun. The lady screamed in pain before she fell to the ground.

"Contact the police from China," an officer said in Burmese, "we've captured Brother Lu. Ask them to..."

"Bam." A weak yet clear gunshot sound was heard.

The officer's words were abruptly brought to a halt, as a bullet hole appeared in the middle of his forehead. The soldiers around him froze in fear as they watched the blood seep down his forehead before he fell face-first down to the ground.

"There's an ambush, be careful!" The soldiers cried out in alarm one after another. However, they were soon greeted by the rapid sounds of gunshots from all around them.

Sometime later, the dust and leaves settled to reveal the bloody bodies of the soldiers scattered all over the place.

Brother Lu's body was bent over on the ground. Her body quivered uncontrollably during the firefight and only when silence once again befell the forest did she look up, flustered. Under the blazing sunlight, she spotted a few off-road vehicles pulling up a short distance away from her. A number of armed men stood on the roof of the vehicles, their faces filled with indifferent and numb smiles as one of the doors of the vehicles was slowly opened.

Brother Lu got up from the ground, then she began to smile.

Above the roofs of this small militia, the flag of the Northern Burma Kachin Independence Army waved proudly in the wind.

Brother Lu walked towards one of the vehicles before lowering her head and kissing a man's shoe.

The man was very tall and built. He smiled while wearing a dark gray camouflage uniform. A pair of eagle-like vicious eyes and a dark red scar sat on his bronze-colored face as he pulled Brother Lu up before embracing her. Then, he gazed at her and said softly in Burmese, "You're my woman, nobody can hurt you."

Brother Lu nodded as she replied in choppy Burmese, "And your woman will continue to help you by selling more people in Southeast Asia to earn you money."

Following that, their lips were pressed firmly together as they kissed.

Thousands of kilometers away was Lin City. The sunlight was just right and the summer wind was blowing pleasantly. Compared to the humid and hot tropics, it was an entirely different world.

As soon as Jungkook arrived in the city, he received a call from the station chief who ordered him to head to the Provincial Public Security Department right away. He was to participate in the director's working conference.

During the conference, Jungkook reported the results of the capture operation. The deputy director in charge of public relations later went on to report, "According to our sources, Brother Lu most likely escaped through the Burmese border. As such, we've already contacted Myanmar through the China-Myanmar Joint Strike Criminal Office. We've asked them to arrest Brother Lu as soon as possible."
