Kaluzi.

Peace Hotel.

The big boss, Du Enqin, was inspecting the back kitchen when suddenly a group of armed soldiers burst in.

The kitchen staff was on edge, frozen in place, exchanging confused glances, not daring to move.

Du Enqin, worthy of her reputation as a formidable woman thriving in Myanmar, was not intimidated by the scene in front of her. She looked at the leading officer, even with a smile on her lips.

"Oh, not even the tenth day, and Deputy Officer Wei is already on duty, truly dedicated."

Then, she calmly glanced around, "But what is Deputy Officer Wei doing bringing people into my kitchen? What are the front hall people doing, can't they escort Deputy Officer Wei to a private room?"

Wei Yi's expression was rigid, almost expressionless, "I'm not here to eat, I'm here specifically to see Boss Du."

"Oh? Really?"

Du Enqin was surprised, then smiled and said, "It's enough for Deputy Officer Wei to just send a greeting; I would have gone to visit personally. Why make such a big deal out of it?"

Bringing soldiers in does indeed look bad, as this is a hotel and it can easily affect business. But it seemed that Wei Yi didn't catch the veiled message, displaying the military's cold and straightforward demeanor.

"Does Boss Du have time now."

Scholars find it hard to argue with soldiers.

Can you confidently say no in front of the barrel of a gun?

Even if not, you have to squeeze out a yes.

"Let's talk in my office then."

Du Enqin said, truly capable, staying calm in a crisis. She didn't forget to instruct the kitchen staff to continue working as she left.

Office.

Armed soldiers sealed off the corridor.

Finally able to be alone, Du Enqin couldn't hold back, dissatisfied, she started questioning, "Deputy Officer Wei, what do you mean by this?"

Wei Yi's face was like a mountain stone, cold and emotionless, "I have a few questions for Boss Du. Please answer honestly and accurately."

Du Enqin frowned, her heaving chest barely contained. Despite her widespread connections and great abilities, she was helpless in such a situation and could only stare at him in silence.

"On New Year's Eve, there was an explosion at a construction site dozens of miles outside Kaluzi City, does Boss Du know about this?"

"I don't know."

Du Enqin replied without hesitation.

"Please think clearly before answering, Boss Du."

There's really no sentiment involved here.

Are we really strangers?

"I'm just a businesswoman running a hotel. How would I know about some construction site explosion you're talking about."

"Boss Du is reputed to be the know-it-all of Myanmar, knowing even if a household loses a chicken. Such a big event happening nearby, you have no knowledge of?"

Du Enqin laughed, seemingly out of anger.

"Who gave me that title, and why don't I know about it? No matter how capable I am, I'm not more capable than Deputy Officer Wei, am I? How prominent is Deputy Officer Wei, with remarkable battle achievements and immense power, serving as the right-hand man to General Jin, admired by the Allies. Whatever Deputy Officer Wei wants to accomplish, isn't it a piece of cake, why make it difficult for a woman like me."

"I'm talking to you calmly, please cooperate."

"Am I not calm?"

It's probably just her outstanding figure that caused a visual illusion. Du Enqin adjusted her breathing, "What Deputy Officer Wei mentioned, I really don't know."

Wei Yi, who truly looked renewed in his military uniform, looked at her and nodded.

"Then let's talk about something else."

"Peace Hotel should be in the business of dining. What's with the casino on the top floor?"

Du Enqin was taken aback, then turned sullen, "Wei Yi, don't go too far."

"Who permitted the casino to be set up in the hotel?"

Wei Yi was unfazed, continuing to ask questions.

"During the New Year, do you have to pick on me?"

The other party's aggressive behavior seemed to ignite Du Enqing's anger too, "Since Deputy Officer Wei doesn't know, no problem, you can investigate. Find out whether anyone allowed it and who those people are."

Du Enqin said, "The casino is not opened by me alone. I, Du Enqin, have always believed in mutual benefit in business, never as selfish as some. Deputy Officer Wei, you are the ever-victorious general admired by everyone in Myanmar, but the victories you achieve are not solely your credit, are they? Don't the bullets fired at enemies carry a fraction of contribution from people like us?"

This statement.

It's a bit deep.

Wei Yi, following orders, didn't delve further, but stopped there.

If one path doesn't work, just switch.

"Then how does Boss Du explain the missing persons at Peace Hotel?"

Du Enqin, who didn't have time to get complacent, her face suddenly cooled.

"What does Deputy Officer Wei mean by this? You need evidence when you speak."

"Every year, a large number of people disappear near Peace Hotel, with some disappearing inexplicably inside the hotel. Boss Du, as the owner of Peace Hotel, don't you think you should provide a reasonable explanation for this?"

"Let me emphasize again, I run a hotel, not a prison, nor a charity home. I have no reason or ability to monitor every guest's movements. Deputy Officer Wei, I don't know how you define 'missing.' Does eating at my hotel and then not knowing where they went equate to missing?"

Du Enqin sneered, "Deputy Officer Wei, if you count it like that, isn't there an even larger number of missing persons on the battlefield? Here, and in much of the world, are different. From north to south, from east to west, even outside the Allied territories, in Deputy Officer Wei's eyes, does that mean missing?"

Truly someone in big business.
