At its core, this matter stems from the issue of arms deals.
It was he who climbed the social ladder by getting in touch with General Bupol, causing the Doctor to lose his arms supply and leaving him with no other choice. Now, the only way for the Doctor to get his daughter, Rachel, back is probably to negotiate with him.
Thinking of this, Lei Long gritted his teeth and remained silent for a while before picking up the phone with a gloomy expression and dialing the doctor's number.
The doctor's gentle voice came quickly from the other end of the phone:
"Mr. Lei Long, what brings you here?"
Lei Long suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice:
"Doctor, let's stop with the pretense. Tell me, what do I need to do to get the people from Dongxing to release my daughter?"
The doctor smiled faintly:
“Mr. Lei Long, as the saying goes, leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future! You blocked all my arms dealing channels back then, so it’s no wonder that the people from Dongxing didn’t leave you any way out.”
"Fortunately, things haven't gotten out of control yet. What I want is business and wealth, not to fight you to the death!"
After hearing the doctor's words, Lei Long remained silent for a moment before saying:
"If I hand over the arms deal, will Tung Sing release Sherry?"
The doctor said:
"That's right. As long as you hand over the client list and give up your channels with Bupol, your daughter, Rachel, will be absolutely fine!"
Lei Long gritted his teeth and listened to the doctor's words, his forehead veins already bulging.
He invested a lot of money and cultivated the Bupol line for many years, and just when it was time to reap the rewards, he had to give it all up.
How could he possibly accept that?
But now he has no choice but to bow his head!
Lei Shirley, Lei's daughter, is in the hands of Dongxing, which took over San Francisco's Chinatown in just a few days and demonstrated its formidable strength in front of Lei Long.
This level of strength is an absolute crushing blow to Lei Long!
If Lei Long insists on resisting, he and his daughter will likely die a horrible death, even worse than the Black Tiger Gang and Hua Futang!
Thinking of this, Lei Long remained silent for a while before saying with some difficulty:
"Doctor, I understand!"
"I will be hosting a cocktail party tomorrow, where I will introduce General Bupol to you and also give you my list of clients!"
"After handing over these, I'll retire from this life of crime!"
After hearing Lei Long's words, the doctor smiled and said:
"Mr. Lei, this is the pragmatic approach. Rest assured, after this matter is over, I guarantee that you and your daughter will both be safe and sound!"
……
The following evening, as expected, Lei Long held a party in Bangkok, Siam, with General Bupol and the Doctor as the main guests.
The doctor arrived at the party with her younger brother, Ah Long. She was still wearing a white Siamese dress and a white flower in her hair, looking pretty and aloof.
Ah Long was also dressed in white, and his strong physique was quite imposing.
When Lei Long saw the doctor and his sister, he even had a slight smile on his face.
This man was quite magnanimous. Knowing he was no match for Dongxing, he simply adopted a completely cooperative attitude, and even the smile on his face showed little sign of reluctance.
A short while later, General Bupol arrived at the scene with his son Butt...
When General Bupol saw the doctor, his eyes lit up. Although he was somewhat lustful, he also knew that the doctor held a very important position in Siam and had many military and political figures as her backers. Therefore, he did not show the doctor any disrespect.
However, his son Butt was a spoiled brat who seemed very frivolous.
"General, the doctor I'm introducing to you will be working with you in my place from now on, and my arms business will also be transferred to her!"
Lei Long's face still showed some disappointment as he spoke:
"I'm getting old, and I'm preparing to retire from this life!"
General Bupol was somewhat surprised by Lei Long's words. After giving Lei Long a deep look, a smile appeared on his face.
"Being able to retire gracefully and wash your hands of the business can sometimes be a good thing!"
For General Bupol, cooperating with either Lei Long or the Doctor is irrelevant, as long as the two can bring him benefits.
Siam has a lot of arms deals every year, and Dr. holds a large share of the world arms market, much larger than Lei Long's.
Therefore, cooperating with the doctor would actually be more beneficial to him. It was only because Lei Long helped him to take the stage that he had to give Lei Long some reward, which is why he initially refused to cooperate with the doctor.
Now that Rayron has withdrawn from the market and relinquished all its arms sales, Bupol has not only suffered no loss, but may even have benefited more.
Therefore, when Bupol looked at Doctor 4.0, his smile became even brighter:
"Doctor, it seems we'll have even more opportunities to collaborate in the future!"
The doctor smiled slightly and raised his wine glass:
"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance!"
"Okay, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"
The general raised his glass and clinked it with the doctor's. The two then drank it down in one gulp, thus reaching a cooperation agreement.
Lei Long watched the two raise their glasses, but couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
However, after the initial disappointment, he felt somewhat relieved.
Running an arms business involves dealing with different people every day and facing competition and cutthroat battles from all sides, which is exhausting for him.
Now that he's getting old, if he could really stop now and retire peacefully in Singapore, watching his daughter get married and have children, it might be a better ending for him.

"This is so boring! I don't know why you insisted on bringing me here, Dad!"
General Bupol was talking to Dr. Raylong when his son, But, sat there with a bored expression and couldn't help but complain.
Looking at his son, Bupol's face showed a look of helplessness and disappointment.
He only has one son, and he brought him to the party hoping that his son could learn from him and make more business partners or friends.
However, Bout was spoiled from a young age and completely turned into a spoiled brat. He had no skills at all, but he was proficient in eating, drinking, gambling and whoring.
Although Bupol was willing to cultivate his son, he was a bit hopeless. After arriving here, his eyes were fixed on the Doctor, but he knew that the Doctor's identity was special. Although he did not dare to act presumptuously, he was rather bored.
After thinking for a moment, Boot suddenly had a brilliant idea:
"Doctor, I heard you're very familiar with Hong Kong Island. I'm thinking of going there for a few days. Could you give me some directions?"
The doctor glanced at Boot and smiled faintly:
“Sure, when are you going to Hong Kong Island? I can ask a friend to host you!”
Upon hearing this, Butt immediately became excited:
"I'm going there tomorrow. Your friend is doing really well in Hong Kong Island, so you have to be a good host!"
Upon hearing Boot's words, the doctor couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
This guy, once he gets to Hong Kong, he'll probably just be a gambler and womanizer. But she just started a partnership with Bupol and doesn't want to offend him. At worst, she'll just have to pay a portion of the money Butt spends in Hong Kong.
Thinking of this, the doctor smiled and said:
"no problem!"
Meanwhile, Lei Xueli was not mistreated in Hong Kong. She was simply confined to one of Xu Lang's villas and placed under house arrest. Apart from not being able to leave the villa or make phone calls, she was not mistreated in any other way.
Xu Lang wanted Lei Long to back down and relinquish all profits from the arms market. He didn't intend to kill the father and daughter, so naturally he wouldn't really do anything to her.
That evening, Xu Lang received a call from the doctor:
"Brother Lang, it's all settled. Lei Long gave me the complete list of clients and their contact information, and even hosted a cocktail party to introduce me to General Bupol. Now I've secured his arms deal!"
Xu Lang smiled with satisfaction:
“Good. Since he’s so pragmatic, tell him I’ll send Shirley to Singapore so that he and his daughter can be reunited there!”
The doctor hummed in agreement, but then added:
"However, there's something I must tell you. General Bupol's son, Butt, is planning to visit Hong Kong Island in the next few days and is hoping someone there can host him. I wonder if it would be convenient for you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lang replied nonchalantly:
"It's alright, I can have someone take care of me!"
The doctor hesitated for a moment, then said:
"This Bout is a spoiled brat, he's quite the playboy, and his personality is rather eccentric. If..."
Xu Lang smiled faintly:
"Isn't Hong Kong Island enough for him to enjoy? No problem, once he comes here, let Meng Renhui send someone to take him to bars, casinos and other similar places. He'll definitely be so happy he won't want to leave!"
The doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief:
"If he spends too much money on Hong Kong Island, I can cover part of it for him!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lang's expression calmed down, and he said:
"Doctor, if this But goes too far, go after his father. Although his father may have been promoted quickly in the military recently, he hasn't reached a high position yet, so taking him down shouldn't be too much of a problem!"
Upon hearing Xu Lang's words, the doctor felt a sense of relief.
There are many things that she probably wouldn't have been able to handle at all if it weren't for Xu Lang.
Just like this time, Lei Long used General Bupol's power to cut off her arms supply channels. If Xu Lang hadn't taken drastic measures and kidnapped Lei Xueli directly from the United States, thus seizing Lei Long's lifeline, her arms market might have been completely devoured by Lei Long.
When Butt went to Hong Kong Island this time, Xu Lang had no intention of indulging him at all.
This made the doctor feel incredibly relieved instantly, and her dependence on Xu Lang seemed to grow even stronger. What woman wouldn't like to have an incredibly responsible and fearless man standing behind her!
"Thank you, Brother Lang. Once I'm done with my work, I'd like to visit you in Hong Kong!"
The doctor really misses Xu Lang!
She was indeed quite tired during this period, and perhaps only in Xu Lang's arms could she feel that special sense of relaxation and security, like a small boat docked in a harbor, where she didn't have to worry about whether there was a storm outside.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you on Hong Kong Island!"
Xu Lang smiled and said:
