There was a hint of a smile at the corner of Hong Da's mouth, and he pointed to Xi Luo beside me: "Your young bodyguard is also good, a very outstanding young man. Boy, you should have a difficult journey."
He was a little wary. I immediately smiled relaxedly, and spread my hands: "Okay, man, I'm traveling, and I don't want to talk about things that are too complicated... We met at the gaming table, and then sat together for breakfast, together Enjoy the happiness of a simple trip, why bother to ask the bottom line? I enjoy traveling! Those headaches should be left in the office... What do you think?"
Maybe my pretending to be free and easy really looked like it, the vigilance in Hong Da's eyes disappeared bit by bit.
Tiger and Ponytail are not with us, they should be watching from a distance, I'm not sure. But at least for now I think I'm going pretty well.
"The boat will dock at noon, are you going to go ashore immediately?" I smiled.
Hong Da stretched his waist, a little lazily: "I don't know, I'm just walking around, traveling easily... What about you?"
"Same as you, but it's my first trip to Vietnam." I smiled.
"Vietnam is not a good place for traveling." Hong Da frowned.
"Hey!" I smiled deliberately: "Brother, you are asking the bottom line again! Let's make an agreement, you don't ask my details, and I don't ask you, how about it? This is more interesting! If we each other If we know the details, we may establish a simple friendship during the trip, what do you think?” I sighed deliberately: “If we know each other’s details, maybe we will know each other’s business, maybe we will Start talking about business, and then maybe a business partnership... oh my god, that's annoying. I just want to let go of that now and enjoy the easy life."
"Good idea." Hong Da sighed.
I feel he has reassured me.
It's very simple, the more I don't tell him the details, the less he will suspect me! This truth is a bit complicated, and it is difficult to describe it accurately in words.
"What about you? It seems that this is not the first time you have come to Vietnam. Maybe we will say goodbye soon after landing." I smiled.
"Not so fast." Hong laughed: "I came to Vietnam to handle some things, but I will play for a few days first. By the way, where is your destination?"
I thought about it, and according to the information, I know that Hongda's destination is Saigon! But if I directly say that I will also go to Saigon, I am worried that this guy will be suspicious again, so I smiled: "Hanoi."
"There's nothing fun in Hanoi." The fat man smiled.
"Go and pay homage to Ho Chi Minh's remains." I deliberately smiled and said, "I am a believer in communism."
"Ha!" The fat man smiled exaggeratedly.
Then we talked about the weather, and we talked about some interesting topics... It's actually very simple, what else can men talk about when they are together
woman!
Yes, the topic of women can always make two strange men get closer quickly.
And at this point, I happen to be almost an expert.
The stripper next to me was a little embarrassed, and even though she was selling it, she wasn't comfortable with us two guys talking about nudity openly.
I deliberately glanced at her, and then stared at Hong Da: "Hey, man, are you going to let this beauty follow us all the time?"
Hong laughed loudly: "If I hadn't become addicted to betting with you last night, I would be in bed now." But then he smiled and whispered a few words to the beautiful woman, and the stripper's eyes suddenly widened, The impatient look on his face was gone! Then the fat man took out a stack of US dollars from his pocket and threw it to her without even looking at it.
The stripper hesitated for a moment, then left quickly.
I smiled: "Two thousand dollars... Dude, you are a bit too generous. I can testify that you didn't even touch her last night."
"No, it's just a deposit." Hong Da said lightly: "I am very interested in this woman, so I let her go ashore with me, as if I had found a woman to accompany me on a trip. One thousand dollars a day, this price is not considered expensive."
I sighed: "For such a woman, you only need to pay 2,000 RMB, and you can let her lie naked on your bed. 1,000 dollars a day..." I whistled.
"Happy! My brother!" Hong Da laughed loudly: "I'm interested in her, I want to fuck her! But because of you, I wasted a night last night! I know that a woman like her is only worth two thousand yuan a piece Evening, but I don't want to leave this boat with regrets. I think it's worth spending some money to make yourself happy and not regret it."
"But Vietnam has many beauties."
"It's okay, I can consider 3P at that time." Hong Da laughed unscrupulously.
Honestly, I'm really starting to like this guy.
He is obscene, even a little wretched. But he blatantly did this kind of thing that should have been put under the table... Such a person is really a wonderful guy.
After a while, Hong Da made a proposal that I couldn't refuse.
"After docking at noon, we can rent a yacht, and then we can drive the yacht on the sea for an afternoon, and we will go ashore in the evening, what do you think?" Hong laughed and extended an invitation to me, but then he also Revealed the real reason for inviting me: "We can still gamble on the yacht, you are the weirdest poker guy I have ever seen."
"Okay." I didn't hesitate.
What is it called? Bodyguard? Or personal assassination
I am also a little confused.
…
The Minghui Princess anchored at the port in the northwest of North Vietnam: Chalong Bay.
This is a traditional port in Vietnam, but it is a pity that this is a diving port. Large luxury cruise ships like Ming Hui Princess cannot enter the port and dock, so they can only berth on the sea not far from the coastline.
Vietnamese customs officers boarded the boat, and tourists began to line up to disembark, and small barges approached to carry tourists ashore.
I saw Hong Da make two phone calls, and then find the waiter on the boat to help us arrange a private yacht.
When I went out of the customs, I saw Ponytail and Tiger boarding the barge together with the tourist group, but I pretended not to know them. Ciro followed me and acted as my follower.
Vietnamese customs officers carefully checked the documents and passes of each tourist, but it is clear that in this place, the power of money is huge. We entered the VIP lane and enjoyed the privilege of skipping the line, and even the customs officers let us pass without carefully checking our luggage.
Of course, I paid an extra two hundred dollars for that.
A white yacht docked next to the luxury cruise ship. A door opened in the hold of the cruise ship, and we entered the yacht through the sampan from here.
The staff on the yacht is obviously very experienced, and they actually said to us in Chinese: "Welcome to Vietnam."
This yacht is huge... or rather, it's not really a "yacht" at all, but just a small steamer.
I even suspect that it was transformed from an ordinary ferry boat.
Fortunately, there is sea breeze, sunshine and a wide deck. All this is enough.
Hong Da has never doubted me. And after I boarded the boat, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The composition of the crew on this yacht is very simple, and I think the danger is far away.
Only me, Xi Luo, Hong Da, his attendant, and the stripper were on board. Finally there is the crew of the yacht (who drives the boat).
I checked the ID of the yacht staff calmly, and I pretended to have a chat with him, and confirmed that he was just an employee of a seaside travel company, and their company rented this kind of modified yacht for disembarkation. Guests use.
Nothing suspicious. I think maybe I can rest easy for a while...
The scenery of Chalong Bay is still very beautiful... and what makes me feel very fresh is that there are many fishermen around.
These local fishermen seem to have been fully mobilized by the developed tourism industry. They drive their own small fishing boats and some small motorboats, chasing yachts like us on the sea, they will approach the boats, and then sell local specialty fruits, food, drinks, and even wine to tourists.
To my surprise, the prices here are unimaginably cheap!
And what's even more strange... the most circulated hard currency here... is actually... Renminbi!
The national currency of Vietnam is the Vietnamese dong, and the exchange rate with RMB is about 1,300 VND, which is exchanged for... one yuan in RMB!
Along the way, I ate countless tropical fruits bought from fishermen. In the evening, I played two games of cards with Hong Da.
At this time, some fishermen approached us with their fishing boats, selling seafood to us.
This experience gave me a thorough understanding of the price level in Vietnam!
It was a small motorboat, and there were two fishermen on board. They all knew a little bit of very simple Chinese, and of course they were only limited to bargaining. Their boats are full of pots and buckets filled with all kinds of fish, shrimp, shellfish, snails, lobsters, crabs...etc.
I pretended to be very interested in bargaining with each other, and at the same time carefully observed the two fishermen, and then confirmed that they were not in danger.
I pretended to ask about the price of everything, but they were all ridiculously low. Finally, I smiled and said, "I want all the things in your boat. How much is the total?"
The two fishermen were pleasantly surprised. They glanced at each other with sly smiles, and then they made a simple gesture: "Eight hundred, RMB!"
I shook my head and stretched out five fingers: "Five hundred."
To my surprise, they agreed immediately! They promised so readily that I realized I was asking too much! I was "killed".
The fishermen were so happy that they didn't even want the buckets and basins for seafood! I moved the things to our boat, and then, as if I was afraid that I would regret it, I drove away quickly in the motorboat.
I looked at the whole boat of seafood bought for 500 yuan... I was really emotional.
The crewman smiled, and he looked at us: "My boat has a kitchen, and I can cook a seafood feast for you. Of course, there is a fee for this, and the service fee is 50 RMB."
Hong Da patted me and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Do you find it strange? Let me tell you, the monthly income of a family of three in Vietnam is less than 300 RMB. The price you just asked is already a fortune for them. Windfall."
Seafood dinner... really a feast! But unfortunately, there is no vinegar in Vietnam. When I asked the crew if there was any vinegar, he even asked me why I need vinegar. I replied that vinegar is sour, but he suggested that I use lemon because... "Lemon is also sour of".
"My dear brother, I think we can go to Hanoi together tomorrow, but after that, we will part." After playing together for an afternoon, Hong Da seemed to get closer to me, his eyes There is a little cunning in it: "Now I really think you are a good person... How about we introduce ourselves to each other? Although you and I don't want to talk about business during the trip, but sometimes, when there is an opportunity for cooperation, don't Let it go!"
I smiled and was thinking about how to answer. At this time, the crewman came over with the lobster. He put the plate away with a smile, and faced a table of shrimps, crabs, shells, and snails... I He was smiling, but suddenly heard a strange sound from the crew member's throat!
When I looked up, I saw his smiling face suddenly became stiff! Then his face quickly turned black, and at the same time, his face was full of pain, his hands strangled his throat tightly, and finally he fell straight down, with white foam flowing from the corners of his mouth! !
My first reaction was to jump up immediately, and then shouted: "Poisonous! The food I eat is poisonous!!"
At this moment, Hong Da's expression also changed, he took a step back almost like a conditioned reflex, and the bodyguard behind him immediately rushed up and blocked Hong Da with his body, at the same time, he even pulled out Out came a gun! Then the gun was pointed at me!
"Don't move!" Xi Luo also shouted nervously, and then he also pulled out a pistol from his back and waist, aiming the gun at Hong Da!
"Don't move anyone!" I tried my best to calm down, and tried my best to make my tone sincere: "Someone poisoned me! It wasn't me! I don't think it was you, right?"
