Chapter 645: Walking US Dollars

After a moment of silence, Ao En said, "Let me handle this! When it comes to finding people, I am quite skilled!"

Li Yaohua nodded and said, "Good, we are now declaring a Level 1 alert status. Teacher, as for the government side, I will have to rely on you!"

Ao En and He Guorong both nodded, then went off to attend to their tasks.

Ao En summoned the Pathfinding Robot directly, then, led by Li Yaohua, arrived at the hotel suite where the Malaysia prince had disappeared.

This was the last place the Malaysia prince had appeared, and it had already been sealed off by men sent by Li Yaohua.

After Ao En walked in with the Pathfinding Robot, he immediately frowned: "Many people have been here... It is possible the Malaysia prince met some guests here!"

"Guests?" Li Yaohua frowned and said to his subordinates: "Who did the Malaysia prince meet? Do you all know?"

The subordinate shook his head and said: "Mr. President, His Highness the prince is a guest; we did not monitor him!"

"What about the hotel?" Li Yaohua asked with a frown.

The subordinate said with an ugly expression: "The hotel's surveillance showed abnormalities around eight o'clock the night before last; it didn't record anything!"

"Damn it, they came prepared!" Li Yaohua cursed irritably, then said to Ao En: "Can you track them?"

Ao En watched his Pathfinding Robot spinning in place; clearly, it could track nothing.

However, Ao En said to Li Yaohua: "This Malaysia prince certainly did not meet guests alone. Being able to make several people disappear from our territory without anyone noticing is not something an ordinary person can do. I suspect the people around the Malaysia prince also have issues! I need to see these people."

Li Yaohua knew of Ao En's capabilities, so he nodded and took Ao En to the Safe House.

Inside the Safe House, the Malaysia officials were also looking miserable.

Although Li Yaohua was in trouble, their trouble would be even greater.

Seeing Li Yaohua return, the lead official immediately stood up and asked: "Mr. President, do you have news?"

Li Yaohua did not speak, but looked at Ao En beside him.

Ao En scanned the several officials.

A moment later, Ao En suddenly revealed a smile and said to Li Yaohua: "Found him! It's him!"

As he spoke, Ao En suddenly pointed at an inconspicuous official.

Li Yaohua immediately said to his soldiers: "Seize him!"

The Malaysia official's expression changed instantly, and he said to Li Yaohua: "Mr. President, what are you doing?"

Li Yaohua ignored the nonsense from these Malaysia officials and had his men directly take down the person Ao En pointed at.

This made the Malaysia officials quite angry.

Li Yaohua was already effectively keeping them under house arrest, and now he was actually taking action against them directly.

Li Yaohua said to the lead official: "Stay calm, I will give you an explanation."

The captured official sneered and said: "What is there to explain? Aren't you just trying to kill to silence me? If you want to, do it quickly; anyway, there will be people to accompany me in death."

Hearing the man say this, Li Yaohua could not help but sneer: "You are quite tough, but you must have received quite a few benefits when you betrayed your prince, right?"

"What?" Hearing Li Yaohua's words, the officials present were shocked.

The captured official's expression changed on the spot, and he shouted at Li Yaohua: "If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext!"

Li Yaohua said indifferently: "Whether it is a pretext or not, it will be clear in a moment."

As he spoke, Li Yaohua said to his subordinate beside him: "Go invite Bai Lu over, and remember to be quick!"

The subordinate nodded and immediately went to find the person.

Li Yaohua then said to the Malaysia officials: "We went to investigate the hotel where His Highness the prince was staying earlier and discovered some suspicious points."

"His Highness the prince disappeared around eight o'clock the night before last. According to your prince's habits, he shouldn't have received guests alone, right?"

The Malaysia official nodded: "That is correct. Even if His Highness the prince were to receive guests, he would have his bodyguards present. And at least four people must be present at the same time."

Li Yaohua nodded and said: "Being able to make the prince and four bodyguards disappear at the same time is almost impossible, so I suspect there is a mole among you."

The captured official sneered and said: "Why don't you say it's you? In the entire Brunei, besides you, Mr. President, who else could achieve this?"

Li Yaohua looked at him coldly and said: "If I were the one acting, do you think you people would still be sitting here talking to me?"

Hearing Li Yaohua's words, everyone felt a tremor in their hearts.

Indeed, if it were truly Li Yaohua acting, the first thing he would do is kill them all to prevent news from leaking, rather than talking nonsense with them here.

The captured official was stunned for a moment, then continued: "Anyway, we are all in your hands; you can say whatever you want."

"Is that so? I hope you can maintain this attitude in a moment." Li Yaohua could not be bothered to talk nonsense with him further, turned his head, and said to the Malaysia officials: "I am going to use some methods on him in a moment, is that alright?"

The Malaysia official looked troubled, not knowing how to handle Li Yaohua's move.

Li Yaohua said indifferently: "The sooner His Highness the prince is found, the lighter your responsibility will be, right?"

Hearing Li Yaohua's words, the Malaysia officials began to whisper among themselves.

A moment later, they still nodded: "If Mr. President is confident, we agree to you using some methods. But if there are no results, we will report this matter to the royal family immediately!"

"Good, it's a deal!" Li Yaohua nodded.

Hearing that both sides had reached an agreement, the captured official immediately said in a panic: "What do you mean by this? You believe the ghost stories this guy is telling?"

The other officials turned a deaf ear to his words and fell silent.

Li Yaohua sneered and said: "You had better keep your mouth shut first!"

As he spoke, Li Yaohua waved his hand and had someone gag him.

After waiting for about half an hour, Bai Lu finally arrived late.

She glanced at Li Yaohua and said impatiently: "What trouble have you caused again, calling me over so urgently?"

Li Yaohua helplessly explained the situation to Bai Lu, and only then did Bai Lu frown and say: "With such a big matter, why didn't you tell the boss?"

Li Yaohua said with a bitter smile: "There is no time left. I have already sent someone to notify the boss; he should know very soon. But the most important thing right now is to find His Highness the prince."

"Fine, it's this guy, right?" Bai Lu pointed at the official whose mouth had been gagged.

Li Yaohua nodded and said: "Ao En said he has issues!"

Since it was Ao En who said so, Bai Lu stopped dawdling.

Very quickly, the captured official felt a tearing pain at the level of his soul, feeling as if his brain were about to boil.

Fortunately, this guy's spirit was not particularly resilient; Bai Lu soon broke through his mental defenses and completely controlled him.

"Done!" Bai Lu said to Li Yaohua, "Now he will answer whatever you ask."

Li Yaohua was immediately overjoyed, had someone untie the guy, and then asked directly, "Where is the prince of Malaysia right now?"

To Li Yaohua's inquiry, the captured official replied with a blank look on his face, "I don't know!"

"You don't know?" Li Yaohua's eyes widened immediately, and he turned to look at Ao En.

Ao En's brow furrowed as well, and he asked, "Does the prince's disappearance have anything to do with you?" "Yes!" the official nodded sluggishly at this moment.

"Then why did you say you didn't know?" Li Yaohua pressed.

The official shook his head: "I don't know the prince's whereabouts; I only know that someone found me and asked me to tell them the prince's security arrangements, and he gave me a sum of money in an overseas account."

Ao En said to Li Yaohua, "This should be enough to clear our suspicions!"

Li Yaohua shook his head and said, "No, it's not enough! The people from Malaysia won't believe us so easily, and more importantly, the prince did indeed disappear in our Brunei, and we can't escape that fact."

"However, with this guy's testimony, we can buy ourselves some time. The other party shouldn't have gotten far yet; with everyone's abilities, you should be able to track down His Highness the Prince, right?"

Ao En nodded and said, "We will do our best."

Hearing the reply from Ao En and the others, Li Yaohua took the captured official to meet the other Malaysian officials.

After explaining everything, the group's expressions changed drastically.

They had not expected that there really was a traitor among them.

In this situation, they were in an awkward spot.

However, Li Yaohua said earnestly to the group: "Since the person went missing in our Brunei, our Brunei will certainly take responsibility to the end."

Hearing Li Yaohua's words, the officials were immediately overjoyed.

They immediately said to Li Yaohua: "If the President is willing to help, we will certainly speak more on behalf of Brunei after we return."

This promise was exactly what Li Yaohua wanted; after all, the Malaysian market was much larger than Brunei's.

Don't look at how well Brunei is developing now; it will definitely encounter development bottlenecks later.

Although Chen Jiajun exists and can target the markets of Hong Kong and even the homeland, at the end of the day, Brunei is Brunei, and that cannot change the attribute of it being a country.

Relations between countries cannot be solved merely by having good connections.

That is why Li Yaohua pushed for Brunei to reconcile with Malaysia and for both sides to deepen their exchanges.

With the promises of these officials, Li Yaohua's men went into action.

Through this bribed official, Li Yaohua had people reconstruct the appearances of the few who took the Malaysian prince, and then issued a wanted notice across Brunei.

Furthermore, they immediately blocked all major traffic routes to prevent them from having a chance to slip away.

Subsequently, Ao En and He Weiguo led their men to begin the search.

The Brunei of today is no longer the tiny place it once was; after occupying the entire Kalimantan Island, the national defense line has also grown.

Therefore, the members of the Azeroth Security Company were dispersed.

This led Li Yaohua to have to seek help from Chen Jiajun, requesting that Chen Jiajun grant him the authority to mobilize the Ghost Demons.

At this time, Chen Jiajun, who was vacationing in the United States, also learned of the situation in Brunei.

He said with some surprise: "So you mean, someone took the Malaysian prince on our turf without alerting anyone?"

"That's right, Big Boss!" Li Yaohua said in a serious tone, "I think these people are definitely not ordinary, so I need your authorization!"

"Fine, take my order and mobilize the troops directly to help you block them! Once you find the people, figure out what they want to do." Chen Jiajun thought for a moment and agreed directly.

With Chen Jiajun's authorization, Li Yaohua immediately mobilized a large number of troops and handed them to Bai Lu, who led these Ghost Demon personnel to join the search party.

For a time, the entire Brunei was in an uproar.

At this moment, in a city on the border of East Kalimantan Province.

The inn hosted a few Gweilo, who checked in to stay.

Although the border town had many people, it was a relatively impoverished area, and there were no places like hotels here.

The few Gweilo were very unaccustomed to such a dirty little inn and complained to their leader one after another: "Boss, this godforsaken place is too run-down! How much longer do we have to stay in this hellhole?"

The leader was a serious-looking middle-aged man named Mr. Smith.

This guy was a mercenary from the United States, employed by the world-renowned Big Spender Valentine.

He had brought his men to Brunei this time to execute a top-secret mission for his boss.

"What are you squawking about?" Mr. Smith frowned and scolded his men: "The employer paid you enough; he didn't hire you to come here and act like lords."

Valentine was a very generous person; although this mission was quite dangerous, the other party had indeed paid enough.

It was even several times higher than their usual mercenary fees.

The scolded mercenary chuckled, rubbed the back of his head, and said: "That's true, the boss this time is very generous."

Smith said coldly: "If you know that, then shut your mouth! Do your work honestly! Did you find the person I told you to find??"

The mercenary shook his head and said: "That guy hasn't shown up yet; I'm afraid we won't be able to leave for a while!"

Smith frowned and said: "Could something have happened? Go out and scout, and be careful not to be followed! I heard this is the territory of the 'Shadow People'; these guys, who are like hunting dogs, have very keen noses!"

The mercenary smiled and said: "Don't worry, Boss. Don't you trust my skills?"

After saying that, the mercenary went straight out the door.

It was about evening when the mercenary who went out to scout returned.

But his face was very ugly, and he appeared somewhat panicked: "Boss, it's bad! Something happened!"

Smith frowned and asked: "What's the situation?"

"Brunei seems to have reacted; they have now started blocking all major traffic routes," the mercenary said to Smith.

Hearing the mercenary's words, Smith sneered and said: "This Brunei really lives up to its reputation; it truly is a dragon's den and a tiger's lair! They reacted so quickly!"

The mercenary looked at Smith somewhat nervously and said, "Boss, what should we do now?"

Smith said indifferently, "I have long been prepared. Go and get ready, and have those bastards watch our Prince well; he is a walking stack of greenbacks."

The mercenary nodded and went to check on that Prince from Malaysia.

Smith took out a Satellite Phone, dialed a number, and said to the person on the other end, "Is everything I wanted ready?"

"It is already prepared! You can go to the designated location to pick it up at any time," a mysterious guy said to Smith.

"Very good, I will have someone wire the money to your account." Smith nodded and hung up the phone.

A moment later, several mercenaries dragged the Prince of Malaysia out.

Smith smiled at the impeccably dressed Prince and said, "My apologies, Your Highness, but I am afraid you will have to accompany us for a bit longer."

Although the Prince's face was pale, he was unexpectedly tough; he just looked at Smith coldly and did not say a single word of nonsense.

After everyone got into the vehicles, they headed straight for the port on East Kalimantan Island. (End of chapter)
