Chapter 550: Air Fortress

Ya Qi did not care and continued, "Don't think I'm bluffing you; if D. O. A. could find your ex-wife, we can naturally find her too!"

Xiao Ma immediately lost his composure: "What happened to my wife?"

Ya Qi said indifferently, "We have already sent people to rescue your wife. If you come with us, she will definitely be fine. Otherwise, with your meager strength, you would likely be snatched away along with your daughter by D. O. A. people halfway there!"

Xiao Ma was very unaccustomed to this situation where he could not control the initiative.

He had previously appeared to be cooperating with Interpol, but in reality, the initiative had always been in his own hands.

So he tilted his head and asked, "Are you guys also here for that 15 billion dollars?"

Ya Qi laughed disdainfully: "If I were really here for the money, do you think you could still be talking to me like this? Let me tell you, don't get any crooked ideas. This is the second time; if there is a next time, I will put you to sleep directly until this is over!"

Seeing that Xiao Ma still wanted to say something, Shi Yijian, who was on the side, couldn't help but remind him: "Xiao Ma, I advise you to listen to him. Otherwise, your end might be very miserable."

Having had the lesson of Xiao Leng, Xiao Ma immediately came to his senses and shut his mouth.

Ya Qi finished his beer, tossed the bottle away, then patted his backside and stood up, saying, "Alright, you've rested enough. It's time for us to hit the road!"

"As for those few from Interpol, do you intend to come with us, or go back to report for duty yourselves?"

Yang Pengyun struggled for a long time before biting the bullet and saying to Ya Qi, "We are willing to go together!"

"That works too, but you are not under my protection. If you really encounter a crisis, you'll have to fend for yourselves!" Ya Qi couldn't be bothered to say more and prepared to leave with the group.

The Interpol agents dared not leave and could only follow Ya Qi as he continued forward, walking into the dense forest.

……

Meanwhile, in a certain surveillance room.

Seeing Ya Qi and the others leave with Xiao Ma, the woman in the surveillance room was furious: "What is the background of these partners? Why are they so formidable? And why is this guy Shi Yijian appearing here?"

Her subordinate wiped cold sweat and said to the woman, "Ms. Cangjing, we are currently investigating, and we will have results soon."

"Useless!" Ms. Cangjing smashed the champagne glass in her hand directly onto the floor.

She closed her eyes, and it took a great effort for her to calm her mood down.

Now that the matter had already happened, being angry was useless. The most important thing now was who was interfering at this time.

A moment later, the subordinate exclaimed: "Ms. Cangjing, we found it!"

"Speak!" Ms. Cangjing said directly with her eyes closed.

The subordinate was somewhat fearful and said intermittently: "We found that this group of mercenaries that suddenly appeared belongs to Guojun Security Company!"

"The one whose international reputation is second only to Blackwater Security Company?" Ms. Cangjing asked in surprise.

The subordinate nodded: "That's right, it's them! And I suspect they are reinforcements called in by Interpol."

"The reason?" Ms. Cangjing asked.

The subordinate pulled up the data and said: "A few years ago, an important case occurred at the Hague Tribunal. Although the process is unknown, Guojun Security Company put in a lot of effort, so I suspect these two things are related."

Guojun Security Company had already grown into a behemoth in the hands of Chen Jiajun.

Its business spanned every corner of the world.

It even had offices on the mainland, though they only provided basic bodyguard services.

As for higher-level military support, even with Chen Jiajun's connections, it was not possible to arrange.

However, this was enough to shock outsiders.

It was not that no one had inquired about the boss behind Guojun Security Company, but no matter how outsiders investigated, they would never know that this company belonged to Chen Jiajun.

That Ms. Cangjing's subordinates could find out this much was already truly not easy.

The subordinate continued: "Moreover, although Guojun Security Company is less famous than Blackwater, the company's mission completion rate is... one hundred percent. As long as Guojun Security Company accepts a mission, we have never heard of them failing to complete it!"

Ms. Cangjing frowned and said, "Is there really no way?"

The subordinate shook his head with a bitter smile: "You saw their combat power yourself; our people might really be no match for them! But it's not entirely without a way!"

"Hmm? What way?" Ms. Cangjing asked immediately.

"The members of Guojun Security Company can't guard Xiao Ma and the others forever, right? We'll send people to follow them, and once they reach their destination, we'll make our move!" the subordinate said with a sinister look.

Ms. Cangjing nodded: "That's a way. Besides, those useless people from Interpol don't have any combat power anyway! Once those mercenaries leave, it will be their doomsday!"

……

On the other side, Ya Qi finally led Xiao Ma and the others out of the remote suburbs.

The journey was considered safe despite the risks.

The first thing Ya Qi did after returning to the city was to swaggeringly take Xiao Ma and the others to rest at a luxury hotel.

"Isn't it a bit too flashy to do this?" Xiao Ma asked with some trepidation.

Ya Qi didn't care and brought over some beer, saying, "Don't worry, they don't have the guts to make a move! Let's wait until your wife is sent over before talking about anything else."

Seeing that Ya Qi really hadn't asked about the 15 billion dollars from beginning to end, Xiao Ma immediately believed him by thirty percent.

You have to know that for a smart person like him, it is not easy to trust someone.

Especially after experiencing an event where he was to be purged.

On the other side, Xiao Leng stared at Ya Qi and then said to Shi Yijian: "Master, can you tell me the background of these guys now?"

By logic, a mercenary shouldn't be enough to make his master this afraid.

Xiao Leng appeared very confused.

Shi Yijian said indifferently: "My boss."

"Boss?" Xiao Leng widened his eyes immediately and looked at Shi Yijian in disbelief: "Isn't your boss Mr. He Xin?"

Shi Yijian shook his head: "There is another one, isn't there?"

"Another one... wait, are you saying... that Mr. Chen?" Xiao Leng said in surprise.

Shi Yijian said helplessly: "Why do you think I told you to behave? This Guojun Security Company is Mr. Chen's property, a mercenary company that spans the globe and can even take over a country's national defense, and this Ya Qi is the head of Guojun Security Company!"

"Hiss!" Hearing this, Xiao Leng finally knew Ya Qi's identity and immediately gasped.

Shi Yijian lay comfortably on the hotel sofa, drinking champagne and saying: "We don't need to worry about what happens next. Ya Qi will safely take Xiao Ma away! We aren't D. O. A.'s targets, so we can go home after staying for a few days."

"But..." Xiao Leng still wanted to say something.

But he was interrupted very sternly by Shi Yijian: "No buts! I only saved you once because you are my apprentice. If there is a next time, my face might not necessarily work. You better remember that clearly!"

"If you dare to act rashly again, I will break your legs directly and take you back to Macau. Even if I have to support you for a lifetime, it would be enough to honor the friendship between me and your old man!"

Xiao Leng could feel that his master was serious, so he could only swallow the rest of his words.

He prepared to see what his superior, Yang Pengyun, had to say.

Unfortunately, the Interpol side was not very concerned about this matter; all they wanted was the intelligence on the D. O. A organization.

As for Xiao Ma, they did not care about him at all.

Anyway, this 15 billion had nothing to do with them, and even if they got it, it would still be a troublesome matter.

As for support, that was even more out of the question.

The Interpol side in Thailand had already lodged a protest with headquarters and was currently having a massive headache over it!

Just as they were each doing their own things, the Information Officer brought Xiao Ma's wife back.

Xiao Ma and his daughter were overjoyed and rushed toward the woman.

Relatives reuniting after a long separation—it goes without saying how touching it was.

Ya Qi also wanted to let them reunite a bit longer, but time waits for no one.

So he said to Xiao Ma: "Alright, now that your wife has been sent over, speak! Where is the D. O. A hiding? No need to mention the previous old nests; we have already been there, and they were long since empty."

Xiao Ma put down his wife and said helplessly: "You really are a buzzkill."

Ya Qi spread his hands and said: "Just consider it for your own sake. The sooner we settle the D. O. A, the sooner you can live a peaceful life with your wife and daughter!"

Xiao Ma sat down and said to Ya Qi: "Ever since my cousin was assassinated in prison, Ms. Cangjing began to take over all the affairs of the D. O. A and started purging everyone under her! Including their old nests in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Clearly, she knew in advance that their locations had been exposed, so... they moved their hideout to the sky!"

"The sky?" Ya Qi frowned and said: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Ma explained: "The D. O. A has a modified Soviet Union transport plane that they have converted into an aerial fortress. It spans the airspace of several countries. Who do you think can go up into the sky to catch them?"

"So that's it. I was wondering why we couldn't find the whereabouts of these guys no matter how we checked," the Information Officer said with a burst of annoyance.

Ya Qi asked skeptically: "Doesn't the plane need refueling? Doesn't it need maintenance?"

The Information Officer waved his hand and said: "Refueling is simple; the issue now is confirming where they are."

Ya Qi looked at Xiao Ma, and Xiao Ma shook his head and said: "I don't know about that, but I do know that the plane has a registered name. It seems to be called... something like the Dragon King Hall."

"Good grief, Dragon King Hall of all things," the Information Officer laughed immediately.

Xiao Ma said to Ya Qi: "I've said everything I should say, and I can also hand over the 15 billion, but you must guarantee the safety of me, my wife, and my child!"

Ya Qi said indifferently: "Rest assured, we keep our word! Once I report your situation to the boss, you will be absolutely safe!"

Xiao Ma let out a sigh of relief and said: "Good, I believe you!"

Xiao Ma had no other choice now. Although the 15 billion was a protective talisman, he couldn't let his wife and child live a life of displacement, so he would take a gamble! He would gamble on Ya Qi's character.

Ya Qi nodded. He had asked everything he wanted to know, so he dialed Chen Jiajun's number.

"The sky? That's truly interesting!" Chen Jiajun received Ya Qi's call and nodded immediately: "Alright, bring the people to Boni! Otherwise, it's really not certain if you can keep Xiao Ma and those guys safe!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiajun immediately called for Silva: "Ya Qi's side found out that the D. O. A is currently flying in the sky using an aerial fortress, called... some middle-school-level name like Dragon King Hall. Is there a way to find them?"

"Simple!" Silva laughed: "Just check the entry and exit records of the surrounding countries!"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "What about your side? Did you find any news?"

"Indeed, there are some gains!" Silva said with a smile: "Do you remember I told you that the D. O. A has some connections with Europe?"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "That's right, is it really the Europeans?"

Silva shook his head and said: "No, on the contrary, the one controlling the D. O. A is a Chinese person, and a woman at that!"

"Huh?" Chen Jiajun was stunned for a moment.

Silva continued, his expression somewhat strange: "This woman is named Mo Chou, and she was once Shi Yijian's woman! The two even almost got married twice!"

"Pfft!" Chen Jiajun sprayed the tea in his mouth directly and coughed violently: "Married... to Shi Yijian?"

"That's right. According to the information we investigated, this Mo Chou and Shi Yijian could be said to be childhood sweethearts! They have known each other since they were young!" Silva said with a gossipy look: "The two broke up for a period of time because Shi Yijian was obsessed with gambling, and later, when Shi Yijian was campaigning in Las Vegas, they almost registered for marriage there."

"It was just because there was a very important gambling match that day, so Shi Yijian abandoned Mo Chou and went to the competition, missing his own wedding."

Chen Jiajun marveled: "I didn't expect that dissolute guy Shi Yijian to have such a past. What happened next? What happened next?"

Silva chuckled: "What else could happen! After being played for a fool time and again, Mo Chou went straight to Europe and married a young duke."

"It's just that the duke was short-lived; he died in his early thirties and left no heirs. So Mo Chou naturally took over all the property of this short-lived duke."

"It shouldn't be that simple, right?" Chen Jiajun frowned and said: "A foreign woman wanting to inherit all the property of a European duke."

Silva nodded: "Of course it wasn't that simple, but this woman is truly formidable! She stirred up trouble and caused the deaths of several people competing for the inheritance, successfully obtaining the succession rights. Subsequently, this specialized money-laundering group, the D. O. A, was established."

Chen Jiajun shook his head: "Is this story really that melodramatic?"

Silva said with a wicked grin: "Boss, should we notify Shi Yijian? I really want to see his expression right now!"

Chen Jiajun also chuckled wickedly: "We can't see the other end of the phone anyway. Since they are all going to Boni, wouldn't it be better to tell him in person when the time comes?"

"That's right, the boss is wise!"

After speaking, the two let out chilling, chuckling laughter.

A few days later, Boni.

Chen Jiajun sent his private plane to pick up Ya Qi and his group.

Upon entering the territory of Boni, Xiao Ma was surprised to find that Ya Qi's subordinates all seemed to have let out a sigh of relief.

It was as if they had entered an absolutely safe place.

You have to know that when they were in Thailand before, except for Ya Qi, these mercenaries were all on edge.

Now they were chatting and laughing one by one, not caring at all if they would run into enemies. After getting off the plane, Xiao Ma was also shocked by the current Boni.

Because Boni was completely different from his impression; at this moment, Boni was full of potholes everywhere, just like a large construction site.

Ya Qi sighed and said, "It really is developing faster and faster!"

Most of Chen Jiajun's capital had been invested into Brunei, and with more and more Chinese people coming over to seek refuge.

So the Brunei of today was long past the appearance of the small country it once was.

It had even begun large-scale development.

After all, most of the areas on Kalimantan Island were in an undeveloped state.

Now that it was ruled by Brunei, they had simply let go and gone all out.

Just after getting off the plane, several cars came over to pick up Ya Qi and his party.

After getting into the car, Xiao Ma said somewhat nervously, "Where are we going now?"

"The Presidential Palace," Ya Qi said indifferently.

Xiao Ma said in surprise, "We are going to see the President of Brunei?"

"No, we are going to see my Boss; you'll know once you get there!" Ya Qi shook his head.

Seeing that Ya Qi would not speak further, Xiao Ma could only admire the scenery along the way in Brunei.

Honestly, Brunei was really different from his impression of it.

What he had known before was just a micro-state with a bit of economic strength.

But looking at it now, this was clearly an extremely modernized country, and most of the people on the road were Chinese.

If one didn't know better, they would think they had arrived in Hong Kong.

The car drove all the way to the Presidential Palace, passing through the checkpoints without stopping.

This left the group somewhat confused, not quite understanding the relationship between Ya Qi and Brunei.

After entering the Presidential Palace, a person who looked like a Secretary immediately came over to greet them: "Mr. Chen is waiting for you in the conference room."

"Mr. Chen?" Xiao Ma was somewhat confused.

Xiao Leng glanced at him and replied, "Chen Jiajun from Hong Kong!"

"Huh?" Xiao Ma was instantly shocked: "Are you sure it's that Mr. Chen?"

"Didn't expect it, did you? The enemy who killed your cousin saved you!" Shi Yijian said with a cheeky grin.

Xiao Ma shook his head: "My cousin was killed by Ms. Cangjing; I am very clear on that point!"

Chen Jiajun had only handed Mr. Gao over to the Macau police back then, and he was just killed by a hitman sent by someone while in prison.

To be precise, Mr. Gao's death indeed had nothing to do with Chen Jiajun.

The few people walked into the conference room and saw Chen Jiajun and Silva.

Chen Jiajun did not waste words either, speaking directly to Xiao Ma: "The chief accountant of D. O. A?"

"I'm just an accountant!" Xiao Ma said with a bitter smile: "Mr. Chen, I am willing to hand over the 15 billion in exchange for the safety of my whole family."

Chen Jiajun waved his hand: "We'll talk about the money later; I need you to go do one more thing!"

"What thing?" Xiao Ma said, not understanding.

Chen Jiajun sneered and said: "Lure the people from D. O. A to Brunei for me!"

"Ah?" Xiao Ma looked shocked. (End of chapter)
