Chapter 784: Chapter 348: The Secret Between PM and Cohen (8,000 Words—Seeking Monthly Tickets) (Part 5)

It seemed that other forces also had this mentality:

If I can grab it, I will; if not, it’s the same if others take it, as long as it’s not in PM’s hands.

Is PM Company so powerful that it’s worth so many superpowers targeting it with special measures?

Gu Ji always found it unlikely.

Although PM ranks in the global top ten in the arms manufacturing industry, it is completely incomparable to the national level. Perhaps a T1-level special operations team would be enough to erase it from the world.

Could it be that there is an even larger force supporting PM from behind?

Suddenly, Gu Ji recalled that mysterious terrorist organization whose slogan was "May human glory last forever."

From the bomb checkpoint in New York, he concluded that Volut, PM, and the illegal arms dealer Kilika, along with Marine Corps Colonel Sauva, were in cahoots. Since Kilika and the Colonel privately provided arms to terrorist organizations, it suggests that PM is very likely involved with these terrorist organizations as well.

This can be seen from the attack on the convention center by "SSS."

So, could it be boldly speculated that the force behind PM is that mysterious terrorist organization!

If this is indeed the case, then everything can be explained.

Why PM mercenaries are so madly reckless, why various countries have been unable to deal with them temporarily, and even dare not confront them directly face-to-face, after all, no one wants their country to experience a "plane crashing into a building" terror event anew.

Given this situation, Gu Ji became even more "interested" in Cohen.

He squatted down, reaching for Cohen’s black mask.

Whether at Laird Airport, chasing Baron in New York, or before Cheongwadae in South Korea in 2015, and even now.

Cohen has always worn a black hood, never taking it off.

Could it be, as the internet says, that the hood is his true self?

Gu Ji yanked off the mask.

Along with the crimson blood plasma, Cohen’s true face finally emerged within his sight.

"Hiss!"

Gao Bo took one look and gasped in surprise.

Beyond the horrifying bullet holes and blood, Cohen’s entire face, no, the entire head, had no intact skin. It was full of pitted and bumpy scars as though it had been scorched by fire.

Even Zhou Yu, upon seeing him, was shocked, his pupils contracting.

Gu Ji furrowed his brows.

He was both surprised and unsurprised.

Wearing a hood for long periods, apart from any potential special function of it, there’s only one reason: not wanting to show real face to others.

With Cohen’s tactical command level.

Was it because of something that he got burned to this extent, or did he intentionally burn himself to avoid something? That remains unknown.

Leaving the hood aside, Gu Ji stood up and began searching the bodies of the mercenaries for remaining weapons and ammunition, "Let’s go, the Brazilian military and police should arrive soon. We need to leave here in advance to avoid any unexplained misunderstandings."

"Don’t worry, as long as we call Mr. Qieu at the embassy, he’ll handle everything for us."

It turns out, earlier in the district, the sentence Zhou Yu didn’t finish was referring to Qieu Hongyi.

Gu Ji patted the war dog’s head, leading the group, carrying guns, back to the district.

With the smoke and dust cleared, the pedestrian street was in ruins, he walked to the vicinity where Li Yanan and Li Yaoguang had been in a store.

At the moment of hearing the sound.

Li Yanan immediately ran out from the innermost storeroom, rushing forward without waiting for Gu Ji to react, hugging him tightly.

"I, I thought you guys..."

In the storeroom, Li Yaoguang and Gao Bo were both dumbfounded.

They had never imagined that the always cold and glamorous Li Yanan would have such a sad and tender side.

In fact, at the moment of the explosion, even the two hiding in the storeroom felt the violent tremor.

Fearing Gu Ji and the others might be in trouble, Li Yanan tried to contact them via walkie-talkie, but got no response.

Looking back now, it was most likely because the distance between both sides was too great, combined with walls and the missile explosion, that affected signal transmission.

"Uh, how could that be, didn’t I promise you I would definitely complete the mission successfully!"

Gu Ji wanted to pat Li Yanan’s shoulder to reassure her, but remembering his hands were covered in Cohen’s and the mercenaries’ blood just from handling bodies, he hesitated and withdrew his hand.

Seeming to recognize his embarrassment.

Li Yanan hurriedly let go, stepped back, and discreetly wiped her face, "Did you get the box?"

"No."

Zhou Yu explained in place of Gu Ji.

Although they didn’t get the box, they completed a secondary mission, which was still considered successful, the only regret being the sacrifice of Ling Yousong.

Gu Ji and Gao Bo collected nearby curtains and long poles to make two simple stretchers.

Placed the wounded Li Yaoguang and Ling Yousong’s body on top.

Just as they reached the mouth of the Riverfront District.

They heard sharp shouts and the "tap-tap-tap" of footsteps.

Unexpectedly, the road around the riverfront area was already filled with military and police vehicles, with a large contingent of Brazilian Army and military police surrounding the nearby area layer by layer, not even a fly could get out.

Just as he analyzed before, even if they got the box, no one could take it out smoothly.

"Gu Ji!?"
