Indeed, sharp-tongued.

It's not just because Wei Yi is a soldier; anyone else might struggle to form a coherent rebuttal in such a short time.

"Deputy Officer Wei, I have always respected you. I admire your talent, your courage, and your character. So please do not destroy the respect I hold for you. You can question me under any charge, but at the same time, please be prepared with evidence beforehand. That is the most basic respect you owe me."

"If Deputy Officer Wei continues to bully the weak and oppress others, I will lodge a complaint with General Jin."

Step by step, with courtesy and propriety.

At the same time,

she also revealed her sharpness at the end.

She is not a pushover.

An unpleasant break seemed inevitable.

After speaking, Du Enqin planned to leave, but after taking two steps towards the door, she realized something was off.

This was her office.

"Please leave."

She stopped and issued an eviction order.

As if Wei Yi, cornered and at a loss for words, turned a deaf ear and remained motionless.

Du Enqin frowned at him.

"If Boss Du is unwilling to cooperate, then I will have to take necessary measures to ensure your cooperation."

Perhaps not as eloquent.

But where is this place?

It's certainly not a place to reason.

As a warlord, must he spar with a businesswoman verbally?

"Wei Yi, how dare you!"

Du Enqin, at her wit's end, glared at him.

She was definitely not an ordinary person, nor an ordinary businesswoman. She probably could really make a call directly to General Jin. But it's important to know that this time, Wei Yi received the highest directive from General Jin.

In other words, it was "an imperial order to handle the case with royal permission."

Let alone using torture, if determined, he could even act first and report later.

There was some connection between them, but under urgent orders and with time pressing, Wei Yi certainly wasn't in the mood for pleasantries. His expression was as calm and still as an ancient well, unsettlingly serene.

"I will have to trouble Boss Du to come with me."

Du Enqin's eyes flickered, realizing this time was different from the past; this might be serious.

To these warlords, not to mention friends, even for their own sake, they might not hesitate to harm, let alone she and Wei Yi might not even count as friends.

Verbal threats lost their effect, Du Enqin bent over, reaching under the desk immediately.

Of course, not to draw a gun.

With so many armed soldiers outside, a single gun was far from enough.

"Wei Yi, I advise you not to act rashly. There is an alarm device under my desk. Once it's pressed, the entire hotel will be alerted immediately."

Wei Yi stood motionless where he was, "And then?"

Yes.

And then what?

So what if the entire hotel knows?

Count on the janitors wielding brooms and mops against armed warlords or imagine the cooks clinging to pots and pans to rescue?

Where is this place?

This is Karuzi.

It is the territory of the Allied Army!

Du Enqin surely wasn't a naïve girl, yet she displayed inexplicable confidence, even smiling unreasonably, though a bit coldly.

She certainly wasn't counting on paid employees.

For a bit of salary, is it worth risking lives?

However, besides employees, there are also guests at the hotel.

"Mr. Jiang is currently staying at the Peace Hotel. I am barely friends with Mr. Jiang now. If Mr. Jiang learns about this, I believe he won't sit idly by."

Wei Yi suddenly fell silent.

The aggressive atmosphere was dampened.

"Wei Yi, Mr. Jiang has always been very loyal to his friends. You surely know this better than I do, right?"

Du Enqin's smile gradually became fearless.

Bringing up General Jin was useless. No matter, there is a VIP at the Peace Hotel whom even the top commander of the Allied Army needs to treat cautiously.

"Is this the purpose of your proximity to Mr. Jiang?"

Wei Yi said, expression unreadable.

"Purpose? Don't speak so harshly. I've said many times, as a business person, I love making friends across all circles. At least, when I make friends, I always reciprocate sincerely, never betraying and burning bridges."

"Didn't you say you knew nothing?"

Unfazed, Du Enqin coldly smiled and said, "You just told me."

"Mr. Jiang chose to build a factory here because of his trust and recognition of your Allied Army, and it will bring you substantial benefits, not just monetary. I am a businesswoman, so I see it clearly. Mr. Jiang wholeheartedly considers your Allied Army a friend. Such an opportunity is a dream come true for any force, yet Mr. Jiang is determined to cooperate with you. But how will you repay him? You can't even protect a factory, celebrating on New Year's Eve. Wei Yi, your Allied Army really lives up to its name. I almost want to applaud you."

Du Enqin didn't pause for breath, leaving Wei Yi speechless.

Truly a businessperson, her eloquence is extraordinary.

If it were just about speaking skills, forget Wei Yi alone, even if all the soldiers outside joined in, they might not be a match.

"If there's nothing else, please do not disturb my business."

Firmly in control of the situation, Du Enqing issued another eviction order.

Why is she able to build such a massive enterprise amidst the chaotic and complex Myanmar? It seems the reason is becoming evident.

An excellent businessperson should know how to reasonably and effectively connect every resource and utilize them when necessary.

A textbook demonstration.

Clearly without the strength to truss a chicken, yet she managed to render a group of armed forces helpless.

"Are you done?"

Wei Yi still hadn't left.

This made Du Enqin frown.

"Let me tell you some more information."

"What information?"

Du Enqin said, her expression unfriendly.

"Mr. Jiang went out and is not currently at the hotel."

Du Enqin was taken aback, then smiled.

"Really didn't expect someone like you would have a sense of humor."

"Wei Yi!"

Suddenly, she shouted, pressing the table, her expression changing dramatically, gritting her teeth, "Since we've known each other, have I ever offended you? Must you cling to me relentlessly?"

"I am not targeting anyone personally."

Wei Yi seemed to wear a mask, his indifferent expression unchanged, "I just need an explanation. If you're unwilling to say it here, then we can change locations."

Alright.

The last card also lost its effect.

With Boss Jiang not present in the hotel, there would be no time for him to stand up for her.

Du Enqin intensely stared at Wei Yi, retracting her hand from under the table.

Even with meticulous thought, unfortunately, the opponent was more skilled, choosing such a cunning timing.

"Are you so sure I know something?"

"The capabilities of the Peace Hotel shouldn't be a secret."

Du Enqin took a few deep breaths, causing her chest to heave violently.

"I don't know much."

"Please, go ahead."

"Before the year, I received word that someone indeed is smuggling arms around this area."

"Who?"

Wei Yi asked simply.

"I am a person, not a deity. If I knew everything, why would I run a hotel?"

Wei Yi silently watched her.

Du Enqin felt increasingly suffocated, adjusted her mood, and continued solemnly, "It seems to be a foreign trade company."

"Boss Du, your valuable time shouldn't be wasted on such trivial games as squeezing toothpaste."

Du Enqin curled her lips, finally no longer hiding anything.

"The remaining questions, you shouldn't ask me, but the local authority in charge. I guess these companies, like mine, also pay taxes to you, right?"

Upstairs.

In the best room of the Peace Hotel.

A phone mounted on the table was live-streaming the office scene back.

From a first-person perspective.

Mr. Jiang, who was supposedly out, sat on the sofa, watching quite attentively.

Monitoring equipment like this indeed needs careful inspection.

Both guests and proprietors ought to be careful.

Yet, one cannot blame Du Enqin for being careless.

There was no choice.

Under the eaves.

How can one have the capacity to search the opponent?
