Chapter 287: Perplexing and Mysterious! Just Who Is It?

In the Bangkok suburbs of Southeast Asia Thailand, inside a resort hotel.

Chen Jie sat in the hall, leisurely drinking tea.

Ring ring ring——!

Just then, a cell phone rang.

He smiled faintly, took out his phone, glanced at it, and answered the call.

"Hello! Are the men in position?" Chen Jie asked calmly.

It was Fatty Wang Hou calling.

"Dragon Head, the men and horses are already in position, right near the Tianyuan Group Headquarters!"

Fatty Wang Hou asked in a low voice: "Really let them retaliate directly? Hit and run?"

He needed to confirm, after all once the bow is drawn there is no turning back.

Chen Jie was silent for a moment, then ordered in a deep voice: "Move. Just retaliate!"

Fatty Wang Hou nodded and replied: "Alright, I'll have them move immediately."

After hanging up, Chen Jie thought for a bit.

Next,

He dialed Ba Te's number.

"Hey, Ba Te, have the Bai Family people already arrived at the Valley Base?" Chen Jie asked.

Ba Te nodded and replied: "Already arrived, we've already entered inside the Valley Base."

"When are you returning to Chiang Mai?"

"I just spoke with Qilin on the phone, our men and horses have already withdrawn, and we've had the people in Chiang Rai Province and Chiang Mai City Center all return to the Valley Base!"

"To avoid retaliation, once everyone is back at the Valley Base, safety will be much greater."

Chen Jie nodded and said: "I'll prepare to set off soon, returning to the Valley Base!"

"As long as gunshots ring out in Bangkok, that's when I leave."

Ba Te nodded and said: "Okay, watch your safety, I'll send people to meet you right away."

——

At this time,

Inside a coffee shop not far from the Bangkok Tianyuan Group Headquarters Group.

Ba Lie clamped a cigar in his mouth, lugged his obese body, with several bodyguards following behind, came out from inside the coffee shop.

"Boss! We'll go arrange men now, move directly!"

A subordinate who came out with him said in a low voice.

"Fine! Hurry up and handle it, remember to do it cleanly."

Ba Lie nodded, took a deep breath and said: "If you need money, tell me, we must stir up some commotion."

"Remember, only when Xia Meng's temper is smoothed out will our days be good!"

"Xia Meng's younger brother died, if his mood is bad, we won't get more money, understand?"

The subordinate nodded and said in a deep voice: "We know! Leaving first——!"

Ba Lie turned and walked to the side, saying: "Alright, you go first, I also need to make a trip back to the company."

Just as he had walked less than five steps.

Boom——!

A van drove over, speed unbelievably fast.

Floored the gas, in an instant it reached Ba Lie's subordinate's front.

Besides the driver, the people inside the van were all uniformly dressed.

They wore masks on their heads, held assault rifles in their hands, armed to the teeth, aura menacing.

"Block them!"

The leading strong man instructed the driver.

Crack——!

The van drifted, instantly blocking the front of the road.

Could tell,

This driver's technique was top-notch, even at racing driver level.

He yanked the handbrake, the van drifted steadily, swung its head around, just blocking in front of Ba Lie.

"Get out, it's them, do it!"

The leading strong man said in a deep voice.

Crack——!

Next, the van doors opened, the people inside rushed out.

Ba Lie was instantly dumbfounded, he never expected that he hadn't even started his move yet, the other side had already struck first.

Saw several all wearing masked gear, after getting out.

They didn't shout loudly, but directly raised assault rifles and opened fire fiercely.

Huh huh——huh huh——!

The leading strong man, without another word, directly fired.

A bodyguard standing beside Ba Lie, just about to draw his gun, was hit first.

With a bursting sound, this unlucky bodyguard fell.

His head was blown apart by a single shot.

The leading burly man made no sound, instead walking directly to Ba Lie's side.

Clatter——!

The several bodyguards beside Ba Lie were completely scared stupid.

They could only raise their hands, not daring to make the slightest move of resistance.

With so many guns all around pointed at their heads, resisting at this time was no different from courting death.

"Who exactly are you people? Did you mistake the target, we——!"

A bodyguard, upon seeing the several desperadoes, hurriedly explained.

Hmph hmph——!

Unfortunately, the other party simply made no sound.

One could see the fat man had invited desperadoes from the Middle East Battlefield through intermediaries; they only sought to complete the task, and fundamentally did not communicate with the other side.

They fundamentally did not give the other side a chance to counterattack, directly opening fire and doing the job.

The other several bodyguards had not yet reacted to what was happening before they were directly finished off.

Fresh blood quickly stained the ground red.

Next,

The leading burly man grabbed Ba Lie by the collar and dragged him toward the van.

Arriving beside the van, he took out a photo and compared it.

Immediately after,

He nodded at the van's driver.

The van's door slid open——!

Hmph hmph——hmph hmph——!

The next moment,

Several desperadoes wearing masks on their heads fired again at the several people lying wounded on the ground!

After confirming they had finished off everyone, only then did they unhurriedly return to the van.

Ba Lie was completely dumbfounded.

He was dragged into the van by the leading desperado, then kicked onto the vehicle floor with one foot.

"Brother, let's talk this out nicely, are you after money? I have money, let me go——!"

Ba Lie was so anxious he broke into a cold sweat, a thread of bad premonition rising in his heart.

Bang!

The leading burly man directly delivered an elbow strike, smashing into Ba Lie's chin.

"Don't want to die right now? Then shut your mouth!"

He coldly snorted, sitting in the vehicle.

Boom——!

Next, the van swaggered off into the distance··

At the coffee shop entrance, several battered corpses were left behind.

In the vehicle,

The leading burly man took off the mask he wore on his head.

He said to the subordinate driving: "Head toward the outskirts of Bangkok; once we're out of Bangkok, finish him off!"

"Yes!" The driving subordinate nodded in acknowledgment.

Next,

The leading burly man took out a phone from his person and handed it to the fat man Ba Lie who was nearly scared witless, saying indifferently:

"Call Xia Meng, just tell him you've been caught, tonight it's more ill luck than good, you're in the vehicle!"

Hearing this, Ba Lie instantly froze.

"And tell that bastard Xia Meng, the people killing you are from the Wei Family!"

The leading burly man continued: "You only need to know one thing, you offended people you shouldn't have offended, I only take money to do jobs!"

"The Wei Family wants your lives, this has nothing to do with me!"

At this moment Ba Lie was completely dumbfounded.

He never expected, how did it get tangled up with the Wei Family again?

Tianyuan Group, and the Wei Family have no conflict whatsoever.

Moreover,

The Wei Family is even Tianyuan Group's ally, both sides' business cooperation is extremely close.

How could this be?

Why would Wei Family people want to deal with Tianyuan Group?

——

At this time,

Chen Jie and the Qinglong Society elites were just preparing to leave from inside the resort hotel.

Ding ling ling——!

Right at this moment, a text message came from the phone.

Chen Jie slightly furrowed his brow, stopped his steps, took out his phone and took a glance.

But very quickly,

He completely froze.

Only to see on his phone, a sudden inexplicable text message appeared.

"The ones targeting you people are not Tianyuan Group!"

What does this mean?

Chen Jie stared at the text message content, looking for a long while.

"Dragon Head, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Shen Yan, following beside Chen Jie, asked in a low voice.

Chen Jie raised his head and glanced at the Qinglong Society's resort hotel in Bangkok, falling silent for a moment.

He thought for a bit, opened the message, wanting to look up the other party's phone number.

Unfortunately, this was a high-frequency phone number.

"Dragon Head! What exactly happened?"

Shen Yan asked in a low voice once again.

Chen Jie raised his head and shook his head: "Nothing! There might have been some misunderstanding in between!"

"But this isn't important, regardless of whether it's Tianyuan Group or not, we have to deal with them."

"Let's go, we'll temporarily leave Bangkok, set out——!"

——

Outside the Tianyuan Group Headquarters Building.

Atiya of the Bai Family's 'Blood Killing Camp' from Wa State, Southeast Asia, instructed his eighteen subordinates to all put on their masks.

In their hands they all gripped assault rifles, at their waists were hand grenades, armed to the teeth, each person carrying a large pack on their back.

At this time,

They climbed over the wall from the outside using a ladder, entering inside the Tianyuan Group Headquarters Building.

Crash——!

A moment later, everyone dispersed.

In less than half a minute, messages of everyone being in position came through all their communication systems.

Atiya nodded, instructed:

"Everyone get ready, await my command!"

In the following time,

Everyone received directives, Atiya walked inside along the Tianyuan Group Headquarters building, quickly standing at the doorway.

Click——!

Next,

Atiya instructed the person beside him: "The front entrance is heavily guarded, we'll go in from the side, pry open the window."

A subordinate beside him hurriedly took out tools, starting to pry the window.

Looking at his practiced movements, he should be an old hand.

He merely used a single iron wire, lightly fiddled a few times, and pried open the window's lock.

Next,

Atiya lightly pushed open the window.

"Go in——!"

Atiya instructed, leading the way bending at the waist, entering inside the Tianyuan Group building.

He left two people behind to stand guard, the rest all entered inside.

——

On the street, the van sped toward the outskirts of Bangkok.

Ba Lie was thoroughly panicked, his face turned deathly pale, his breathing becoming rapid.

Just now he had seen these desperadoes, cruel and ruthless, continuously finish off several of his subordinates.

To survive, he kept begging for mercy:

"Brothers, did you get it wrong? Who hired you? I'll pay double the price."

Unfortunately, these desperadoes hired from the Middle East battlefield simply didn't pay him any mind.

"Our Tianyuan Group has a very good relationship with the Wei Family, you've definitely made a mistake——!"

Slap!

Before he finished speaking, the leading burly man slapped a palm across Ba Lie's fat face.

Then,

He coldly snorted, said in a deep voice:

"Didn't I tell you, telling me this is useless, make a phone call and tell Cao Meng!"

"You——!"

Ba Lie was slapped until his face swelled. He only felt his head buzzing.

He calmed down for a few seconds, then helplessly sighed.

"This brother, I know you came looking for me, it must be because of what happened yesterday at the Bangkok International Hotel."

"Cao Meng doesn't know the situation at all, we also only found out after the incident happened that the Bai Family's young miss was staying at the hotel."

"This matter has nothing to do with us, really——!"

Hearing this, the leading desperado sized up Ba Lie from head to toe.

Feeling the other party didn't seem to be lying, he slightly furrowed his brow.

Logically speaking, he took money to do a job, everything else had nothing to do with him.

But,

before taking action, he had to figure out the ins and outs of the matter.

"I can call Cali right now!"

Ba Lie took a deep breath and said: "But before making the call, I hope to speak with the person behind you!"

"Things are a bit chaotic right now; I feel there must be a problem somewhere in the middle."

—

Sitting in the car.

Chen Jie looked at the text message on his phone, lost in thought.

His heart was full of doubt.

Who exactly wants to deal with me?

Not Tianyuan Group, could there be someone else?

This text message is very strange.

First,

my cell phone number is known only to insiders of the Qinglong Society, and very few people outside know it.

At the most critical moment, the other party actually uses high-frequency SMS to tell me these things?

What do they want to do?

Delay time?

Or do they want to interfere with my actions?

Using high-frequency SMS obviously means the other party wants to keep it secret and not let me know their identity.

Of course,

from another perspective, since the other party is anonymous, it means they are not trustworthy.

But why would the other party suddenly send such a text message?

Could it be that the person targeting me is the Rishima Yamaguchi-gumi?

Or is it Vincent of the Southeast Asia Martial Arts Alliance?

Chen Jie thought for a moment but really couldn't understand why the other party suddenly sent him such a text message.

If this text message is just to interfere with me, then it doesn't matter.

But if it's true, wanting to make the Qinglong Society and Tianyuan Group go to war early, sitting back to reap the benefits.

Then it's damn worth pondering!

Chen Jie thought in his heart, slightly furrowing his brow.

—

On the van.

The leading thug raised his head to look at Ba Lie, with no expression on his face.

"I'll give you five minutes to tell me everything you know; if the result satisfies me, I'll spare your life!"

Exhale—!

Ba Lie took a deep breath and said with a serious face:

"That bastard Namusu, although he is an instructor under the Thai Boxing Training Camp of Tianyuan Group, he and I are not on the same side!"

"Over these years, he indeed handled many troublesome matters with me, but between us, there isn't much contact."

"Additionally, that bastard Namusu is addicted to gambling, owes a lot of money outside, so many people look down on him and have no dealings with him at all."

"In the past year or so, Namusu doesn't know which side's forces he hooked up with, scooping up a lot of outside business!"

"So regarding the incident at the Bangkok International Hotel this time, our Tianyuan Group really doesn't know much."

The leading thug stared deeply at Ba Lie and asked in a deep voice:

"Since you don't know, why did you claim publicly that this matter is related to your Tianyuan Group?"

"Explain the key points clearly; logically it must make sense."

Ba Lie shook his head helplessly and said:

"I have no choice; Cali's younger brother Cali was beaten to death by people from the Qinglong Society in Chiang Mai, Southeast Asia!"

"So Cali was furious about this matter."

"Wanting to assassinate the Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society is too difficult; there are always many people around him."

"My finances have big problems, and I need Cali to help me solve them."

"To curry favor with Cali, I had to show something to make Cali happy."

"Actually, the mission Namusu carried out really has nothing to do with me!"

After saying this,

he sighed helplessly and said:

"Everything I said is true; you think, if this matter is related to our Tianyuan Group, we couldn't possibly arrange just these few people."

"Additionally, we have no need to make a move against the Bai Family people, but instead directly intercept and kill the Qinglong Society's people and horses on the road!"

"Taking a big detour, for Tianyuan Group, is absolutely unnecessary, right?"

Hearing this, the leading thug suddenly furrowed his brow slightly.

Not to mention,

the situation Ba Lie described was unexpected.

This matter might really have nothing to do with Tianyuan Group.

If it were arranged by Tianyuan Group, there would be absolutely no need to do this.

The leading ruffian lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

Next,

He took out his phone, his inner heart seeming to have some hesitation, and dialed the intermediary's phone——!
