Chapter 1582 - 1580: Breakthrough

After the car left, Yang Chen immediately sent someone to give chase.

Since they couldn't be too close, they used a drone to track the vehicle.

The roads in Monkey Country were not exactly smooth, and many places had substandard roads that weren't wide, so the ride was extremely bumpy, and they couldn't drive too fast.

The car traveled all the way to a mountain villa.

The vehicle tracking it didn't move in but stopped at the foot of the mountain, utilizing the drone for aerial surveillance.

Through the drone footage, they saw Zhou Laifu and the man in black enter a villa.

Once the target's location was confirmed, operations commenced immediately.

"Access the surveillance, find the blind spots!"

"Identify the patrol personnel!"

"Analyze the optimal route!"

"Develop a strategy to neutralize the enemy!"

...

A series of commands were issued.

Everyone got busy.

In the shortest time, they determined the best plan.

On their side, they had completely lost contact with Zhou Laifu.

Yang Chen, sitting in the car, said grimly, "There's a strong signal jammer inside, they're very cautious!"

Ye Xin also said, "We need to hurry and get in. If Zhou Laifu shows any slip, alerting the enemy is possible!"

"How's the preparation going?" Yang Chen asked in a deep voice.

He also understood the issue Ye Xin mentioned.

If Zhou Laifu let anything slip or held any hope for the Yuan Group, it could alert the enemy.

Furthermore, if the other party checked the container immediately and found no parasites inside, it would be very dangerous.

So, the time they had was running out.

"Report! The strike team is ready and can depart at any time!"

"Head out immediately!" Yang Chen ordered in a stern voice.

Immediately, a team moved towards the villa.

Their hackers had already infiltrated the opponent's surveillance system, looping the playback.

The strike team moved quickly.

Yang Chen didn't place all hope on the strike team, additionally instructing, "Perimeter team, prepare for support!"

"Perimeter team, in position!"

After completing these arrangements, Yang Chen nodded slowly, focusing on the images from the drone.

The strike team approached Villa No. 6.

When they reached the door, they took their positions and asked Yang Chen for instructions.

"Report One! Report One! We are in position, we are in position! Should we proceed, repeat, should we proceed?"

Yang Chen issued the command, "Proceed immediately!"

Bam!

The door was burst open in an instant.

Almost simultaneously, they rushed in.

The muffled sounds of silencers punctuated the air, and the villa fell silent.

A minute later.

A message came from inside.

"All clear! Report One, mission completed!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen couldn't help but murmur, "Nicely done!"

To be honest, Yang Chen didn't have much confidence in them, but unexpectedly, they completed the mission so quickly, which was remarkably impressive!

Immediately, Yang Chen ordered the driver to head to the villa.

Entering the villa, Yang Chen saw several bodies lying in pools of blood. Zhou Laifu huddled in the corner, trembling, seemingly wounded in the leg, with significant bleeding.

Inside, the man in black and another middle-aged man were tied up.

After surveying the situation in the house, Yang Chen asked, "Report the situation."

The team leader immediately reported, "Report One! There were eighteen people inside, one injured, two subdued, and the remaining fifteen were all killed!"

"The villa has been thoroughly searched to ensure safety!"

"Cut the power!" Yang Chen ordered.

"Yes!"

Soon, the villa plunged into darkness.

Flashlights turned on, and Yang Chen approached Zhou Laifu, inquiring, "How did you get injured?"

Zhou Laifu, with cold sweat on his forehead and a face of agony, gritted his teeth and said, "When I arrived, I tried to negotiate with them, but they insisted on seeing the goods first. When I refused, they snatched it away, discovered it wasn't what they were looking for, and shot me!"

Yang Chen raised an eyebrow, "What else did they do?"

Zhou Laifu shook his head, "They pressed me for the item's whereabouts. I told them I hid it, and if they agreed to my terms, I would take them to it."

Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Laifu was smart, knowing that in such an environment, the best chance for survival was to pin the situation on himself. If they suspected this was a setup, it would be hard for Zhou Laifu to survive, and the information might leak.

"You did well!" Yang Chen nodded and praised Zhou Laifu.

One must say, Zhou Laifu's approach was the best way to not only protect himself but also safeguard the information from getting out.

Yang Guiwen, however, shouted angrily, "Damn you, Zhou Laifu, I dragged you out of the pit, saved you, gave you such a good life, and this is how you repay me? You ungrateful thing, you're worse than a pig or a dog!"

Zhou Laifu looked ashamed, muttering, "I'm sorry! I just want to survive, I still have a wife and daughter to care for!"

"You've got the nerve to say that! Everything you have is thanks to me!" Yang Guiwen shouted angrily.

He wasn't wrong. Zhou Laifu started as a fugitive, burdened with debt. Without Yang Guiwen, his whole life would have likely been in darkness.

But such is reality; you help someone, yet when it matters most, they can still turn on you. Such is reality, and such is human nature.

Yang Chen turned to Yang Guiwen, saying, "Are you the person in charge of the Monkey Country area?"

Yang Guiwen stared at Yang Chen, coldly asking, "Who are you?"

Yang Guiwen exhibited no fear, still possessing an air of arrogance and control, as if he held all the cards.

Yang Chen laughed, "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that I've caught you, and you need to tell me everything you know!"

"Heh!" Yang Guiwen sneered, "Do you think this is Flame Country? You have no enforcement powers and no right to interrogate me. Want to know anything from me? First, find my lawyer! Without my lawyer, I won't say a word!"

"Oh?" Yang Chen smiled, "That's probably for the best. Saves me the trouble, too. Give me your lawyer's number so I can notify him."

"Get me my phone!" Yang Guiwen ordered arrogantly.

"Sorry, the phone's been smashed." Yang Chen responded with an innocuous smile.

"You!" Yang Guiwen glared at Yang Chen and said helplessly, "You call! 006325..."

Yang Chen dialed the number and relayed it to the person beside him.

The person nodded, left immediately.

After handling this, Yang Chen, smiling, said to Yang Guiwen, "Your lawyer will be here soon. Is there anyone else you'd like to contact? We can accommodate your requests."

Yang Guiwen muttered inwardly, casting a suspicious look at Yang Chen.
