Northern Myanmar: Years of Dehumanization

Early the next morning, I saw what Peng Ge's speed was.

When I came to the workroom, I felt like I suddenly had trypophobia.

There are so many people here. Originally there were only number seven people, but now the group with Diao Peng is almost up to twenty people!

I frowned. Although there were many people, they were not too many. It was a large group.

Although the room can fit inside, it seems a bit cramped.

"I will be your team leader from now on. He is your deputy team leader. You are Brother Peng's people. Logically speaking, I should treat you well."

"But I also hope that if I give you face, you will catch it. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."

I spoke calmly and glanced at them, but I discovered a familiar person, One-eyed Insect!

I originally thought that the two of us would never cross paths, but unexpectedly, we met here. This is really... fate is unpredictable.

If anything goes wrong in the future, you can call him out on it.

That fat man should be very lucky, after all, someone was punished for him.

"Team Leader Bai, it's not right for you to be like this. You have the ability, and I recognize you, but the position of deputy team leader, isn't it a bit sloppy?"

An inappropriate voice interrupted my thoughts. I looked up and saw a tall man with a fierce look walking out.

"Is it hasty? I don't think so."

I squinted my eyes, knowing that there would be a sting, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"I used to be in Brother Peng's group, and my performance was among the best. I was Brother Peng's right-hand man..."

The fierce-looking man kept talking about his great achievements. My face turned dark and I interrupted him.

The key is not to interrupt him. I doubt he can talk from morning to night!

"You want to say that you used to be the deputy team leader in Brother Peng's team, right?"

There was a joking look in my eyes. After all this guy said, he didn't just want to show off his abilities.

Isn't it just to show his ability to become the deputy team leader?

"Yes, I think he is inferior to me. The deputy leader should be mine."

The fierce-looking man was interrupted by me, but he also went straight to the point and admitted his intention.

As the fierce-looking man said, his ability is indeed relatively high and he can do better than Leng Feng.

But, would I be so stupid to hand over the important position of deputy team leader to someone from another group?

This fierce-looking man wants to be the deputy team leader today, and maybe he will be the team leader tomorrow.

Thinking of Diao Peng placing people under Hou San and Dong Si, I couldn't help but be more vigilant.

Although Diao Peng is now considered a brother to me, that is only now. There is no guarantee what will happen to him in the future.

As the noble man said to me, in the park, the only person you believe in is yourself.

Leng Feng is someone I have trained to be a check and balance. I have his handle, so I can safely hand over my position to him.

So far, the effect seems to be good.

But if you want to say that the position of deputy team leader is handed over to the fierce-looking man in front of you, isn't that just nonsense?

If nothing else, let’s just talk about the present. Who can tell who he is facing in his heart right now?

"Huh, I think you haven't understood the problem yet."

I sneered and glanced at Leng Feng next to me, indicating that I would take action later.

"what is the problem?"

The fierce-looking man frowned when he heard my words, looking a little confused.

"Damn it, you are in my group now, and here, my rules are the rules!"

I roared angrily and threw the cigarette in my mouth into his face.

Before I could even finish my voice, Leng Feng next to me was as agile as a leopard and quickly pounced on the fierce-looking man.

Leng Feng concentrated all his strength on his fist and struck the fierce-looking man in the face with a straight punch.

Men with fierce looks may appear to be burly, but they are actually more resistant to beatings.

Leng Feng punched him, but he didn't knock the ferocious-looking man off his feet. Instead, he took a few steps back and nosebleeds freely flowed out.

After the fierce-looking man was hit by Leng Feng, he roared like a bear and rushed towards Leng Feng with great momentum.

Leng Feng was a little overwhelmed and actually collided with him head-on without using any fighting skills at all.

This time, the fierce-looking man knocked Leng Feng back a few steps and took a step back himself.

As I said before, Leng Feng was relatively thin, so he did not take advantage of the collision with the burly man with a fierce look.

After tasting the sweetness, the fierce-looking man pounced on Leng Feng again.

This time, Leng Feng did not resist. He found the right moment, grabbed the fierce-looking man's arm, and threw him over his shoulder.

When it comes to the fierce-looking man, Leng Feng's fists specifically target the acupuncture points that can knock the fierce-looking man into confusion but not kill him.

Let me talk about it here, in fighting, you have to pay attention to where you attack, it is not just a random attack.

He knows how to maximize benefits. Where is this punch? What harm can it cause him? It's all calculated.

And in the park, how many people are there who have specifically practiced fighting?

The fierce-looking man was obviously not one of them. After a while, he was beaten so hard that he held his head and begged for mercy.

The majestic look he had just now was completely gone.

These fights only lasted for two or three minutes before the fierce-looking man was subdued to the ground.

I silently put away the electric baton in my hand.

Originally, he was planning to make a sneak attack while Leng Feng was fighting with the fierce-looking man.

Looking at the burly figure of the fierce-looking man, I was not sure that Leng Feng could beat him. Now it seems that I underestimated Leng Feng.

I formally apologize for my recklessness.

When Leng Feng was almost done beating him, I stopped him. If the beating continued, I would really lose face to Diao Peng.

Maybe, this fierce-looking man was Diao Peng who deliberately instructed him to test me?

It's enough to teach him a lesson, but there is no benefit in continuing to fight.

Leng Feng got off the fierce-looking man. The fierce-looking man huddled on the ground and hesitated for a while before putting his hands down from his face.

"Now, I ask him to be the deputy team leader. Do you still have any objections?"

I squatted in front of him, with a sneer on my lips, and said coldly.

"No, I have no objection. Brother Bai made a good choice. That eldest brother is the most suitable to be the deputy team leader. I admire him the most."

"If someone else is to be the leader, I will be the first to object. The deputy leader should be the eldest brother just now."

The fierce-looking man shook his head like a rattle and immediately gave in. He easily accepted Leng Feng as his elder brother.

"Similarly, I hope you can behave yourself well. When you come to a new group, you must have new rules. Without rules, there will be no rules."

"I know, this is what Brother Peng wants to see."

I beat them again, not forgetting to emphasize the last sentence.

I saw their faces darken, and some of them looked unsightly.

Out of humane concern, I asked them to devote themselves to work today and forget their worries in the busy schedule.

At noon, while I was still eating, Hou San came to my room, looking a little unhappy.

I was a little surprised and didn't know what he wanted from me.

Because apart from that time we met in the private room, we didn't have any other interactions.

But I still stood up, came to him, and gave him a cigarette.

Because my experience in the park tells me that I can’t look down on anyone.

Maybe it will be your stumbling block, or in other words, your life-saving straw.

"Third brother, what brings you here?"

I lit a cigarette for myself, started smoking by myself, and asked calmly.

After so many things in the park, my mood has changed a lot, and my ability to bear it has also improved a lot.

"I'm here to send you a message. Our new manager, Manager Xie, wants to see you."

The third brother glanced at me and took a puff of the cigarette, but I saw that his hand was shaking when he lit the cigarette.

"You said, we are a supervisor?"

I squinted my eyes and didn't expect that I was assigned to the same supervisor as him.

"Well, Mr. Bai..., Brother Bai, can you give me a nice word in front of Manager Xie? Whether I live or not depends on you."

Hou San's lips trembled, hesitated, begged me for mercy, and almost knelt down.

"What do you mean?"

I looked at Hou San with confusion in my eyes. His move made me quite confused.

I have never felt that I can control other people's destiny?

Hou San hesitated to speak. In the end, he didn't say anything. He just said:

"You'll find out when you meet Manager Xie."

Hou San took me to see Director Xie. On the way to see Director Xie, Hou San expressed his loyalty to me more than once.

He said that after saving him this time, he could listen to me on anything and work like a cow or a horse for me...

I'm so stupid, I really don't know what's going on!

When we reached the third floor of a building, Hou San asked me to enter a room and stayed outside.

I walked into the house and saw a man in his 40s wearing a white shirt, black-rimmed glasses, and a Chinese character face. His face was not fierce, but rather approachable.

I frowned and couldn't help but sigh, how could there be such a person in the park?

How did he become a supervisor?

"Thank you, supervisor?"

I didn't see him raise his head, so I asked in a low voice.

"Huh? Are you Jiang Bai? Just call me Brother Kun from now on..."

Xie Kun raised his head and looked at me, with an approachable smile on his face, and his tone was non-aggressive.

It was easy to guess my name. After all, he was the one who asked Hou San to call me.

"Thanks, no, Brother Kun, I didn't know you would ask me to come this time..."

I followed my words and wanted to thank the supervisor, but when I saw Xie Kun's eyebrows raised slightly, I hurriedly changed my title.

It's not that I don't want to call him this name, it just feels a little weird.

"Why are you standing? You sit here."

Xie Kun glanced at the chair Xian placed in front of his desk and motioned for me to sit down.

I sat down face to face with him, and before I could finish, he asked me a question:

"The group I manage has been in a bit of chaos recently, and it just so happened that your groups were divided. Tell me, what should I do in this situation..."
