Chapter 349
"It's only been a few days since we left, how could this happen?"
Chen Jie took a deep breath, his gaze terrifyingly deep.
Click—! He kicked a railing on the deck hard, venting the anger in his heart.
"Keep talking! I need to know exactly what happened!?"
Chen Jie said in a harsh voice.
Exhale—! Li Chengze couldn't help but take a deep breath, steeling himself as he replied: "Dragon Head, in Shen Yan's phone call, just now he told me that half an hour ago, he received a report from Chiang Rai Province!"
"Since we came to Busan, South Korea, recently, Qilin has been responsible for training our Qinglong Society's elite at the Xun Lian Ying in Chiang Rai Province!"
"However, the Qinglong Society's Xun Lian Ying in Chiang Rai Province was attacked and captured, and over three hundred elites of the Qinglong Society stationed in Chiang Rai Province were wiped out!"
"Ba Te was seriously injured, taking some of his men, and fled desperately from Chiang Rai Province back to the Chiang Mai Headquarters."
"Qilin was captured, and at the same time, all our forces in Chiang Rai Province were defeated, and many lost contact!"
"Shen Yan called to ask for your instructions, but the call didn't go through, so he came to me!"
"According to the report, the main force attacking us in Chiang Rai Province is the Tianyuan Group's ace—the Ying Bu!"
"This time, it's very likely that the Tianyuan Group's Dragon Head 'Four-Faced Buddha' personally took action, because the Ying Bu are Four-Faced Buddha's personal guards."
Four-Faced Buddha!?
Chen Jie and the fat man Wang Hou, and everyone in the Qinglong Society, couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing this.
Damn it—
Could it be that the Tianyuan Group has decided to go to all-out war with the Qinglong Society? Chen Jie narrowed his eyes, looked toward the direction of Chiang Mai, and ordered: "Make the boat go at full speed, we must return to Qinglong Valley in the shortest time possible!"
Everyone around knew the seriousness of the matter, and shouted in unison: "Yes!"
Three days later.
After leaving Busan, South Korea, the Qinglong Society members finally returned to Southeast Asia under Chen Jie's leadership.
After entering the territory of Thailand South, Chen Jie, accompanied by the fat man Wang Hou and Li Chengze, directly took a helicopter back to Chiang Mai, Thailand South.
The Qinglong Society elites who had already received the news.
Under Shen Yan's leadership, the other leaders of the Qinglong Twelve Halls were waiting at the helipad outside Qinglong Valley.
When Chen Jie came out of the helicopter, his expression looked very calm, as if he had everything under control, showing no pressure regarding the Qinglong Society's crisis.
That confident demeanor gave everyone confidence.
After seeing Shen Yan and the others, Chen Jie nodded slightly.
"Dragon Head!"
After seeing Chen Jie get off the helicopter, Shen Yan stepped forward and asked in a low voice:
"All Hall Masters have returned to the Headquarters, and elites from all regions have been recalled, waiting for Dragon Head to preside over the meeting!"
Shen Yan issued the Qinglong Token three days ago.
All Qinglong Society elites, including the troops of the Qinglong Twelve Halls, all returned to Qinglong Valley from their stationed places.
Fortunately Shen Yan acted quickly; if it had been two days later, the Qinglong Society's losses would have been greater! Chen Jie waved his hand and said to Shen Yan:
"Don't hold the meeting yet, prepare personnel, go to the Hospital once!"
At this time,
Shen Yan could clearly feel that Chen Jie was in a bad mood, his expression gloomy, his whole body filled with killing intent.
He didn't dare say another word, nodding: "Fine! I'll arrange it immediately. We have many people stationed at the Hospital side, I'll strengthen the guard!"
One hour later.
The Qinglong Society's motorcade stopped at the entrance of the largest Hospital in Chiang Mai, Thailand South.
Outside the special luxury ward, the entire corridor was filled with people armed to the teeth.
These were all Qinglong Society elites, all Experts who had experienced a hundred battles.
Outside the entire Hospital, three lines of defense, over three thousand people.
This time, the Qinglong Society mobilized everyone, causing a huge commotion.
With Chen Jie's return, everyone in the Qinglong Society seemed to have a backbone, uniting into one force.
Perhaps because the Qinglong Society's anger ignited the entire Chiang Mai, causing various forces in Southeast Asia to become extremely cautious.
The Thai Royal Family at this time also, because the Qinglong Society was attacked, sent members of the Royal Family to come to Chiang Mai.
Inside the Hospital, top internal medicine and surgery doctors were invited from all over Southeast Asia to treat all the injured people of the Qinglong Society.
This scene made many Nurses and Medical Personnel inside the Hospital feel very shocked.
Exactly who is it that would make the Thai Royal Family, as well as forces in places like Chiang Mai, send people over to offer condolences?
Curiosity killed the cat!
Many people wanted to inquire about the specific situation.
However,
When seeing Armed Personnel armed to the teeth everywhere inside the Hospital, all Medical Personnel dared not speak, trembling with fear.
After Chen Jie entered the corridor inside the Hospital.
Other Qinglong Society personnel who had already received the news were already waiting in advance in the Hall inside the Hospital.
At this time,
When Chen Jie appeared before everyone's eyes, several Qinglong Society elites originally responsible for Chiang Rai Province all lowered their heads.
This time the Qinglong Society suffered heavy casualties, being suddenly attacked.
Including Qilin, Ba Te and other Qinglong Society backbone members were seriously injured, almost dying.
And at this moment, these uninjured elites, for some reason, suddenly felt a thread of guilt.
They did not feel guilty because they themselves were not injured.
But because he had failed to protect Qilin Boss and Ba Te and the others, he felt utterly ashamed.
When the Qinglong Society had just been established, the first place it expanded to was Chiang Rai Province.
Facing the complex forces in Chiang Rai Province, Ba Te and several Hall Masters took only one night to completely take over Chiang Rai Province.
Immediately after,
after several months of operation, Chiang Rai Province was counted as completely incorporated into the Qinglong Society's sphere of influence.
But,
Chen Jie, this Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society, had only left Southeast Asia not long ago, going to Zhong Dong Dubai and Han Guo Fu Shan for less than half a month.
Everyone originally in Chiang Rai Province still thought that when the Dragon Head returned, they could expand again into the surrounding areas and take down other regions around Chiang Rai Province.
But,
who could have imagined that at this very moment, they would suddenly be crushed by someone! It was like the sky was falling! Could the Qinglong Society recover after bearing such a terrifying attack all at once? Qilin had been captured, and Ba Te was even more seriously injured, still not awake! Everyone stationed in Chiang Lai Province collapsed across the board, and the Qinglong Society was driven out of Chiang Rai Province! The opponent clearly seized the Qinglong Society's weakness, landing a single blow and crushing all Qinglong Society forces stationed in Chiang Rai Province in a single night! Truthfully, if this had not happened in reality, no one could believe any of it.
It was just like the scene when the Qinglong Society crushed the Liu Family in Chiang Mai back then, except this time the one being attacked was the Qinglong Society.
Qilin was the first friend Chen Jie met after coming to Southeast Asia.
At the same time,
he was also the first person to become Chen Jie's brother when the Qinglong Society was founded.
An important reason Chen Jie founded the Qinglong Society inside the Wa State Concentration Camp was that he met Qilin.
It can even be said that Qilin was the Left and Right Arm of the Qinglong Society, the chief general under Dragon Head Chen Jie.
He was the person Chen Jie trusted most, and his strength was second only to Chen Jie's, making him the strongest fighter in the Qinglong Society.
Throughout the Qinglong Society Twelve Halls, everyone called Chen Jie Dragon Head and called Qilin Qilin Boss!
Thus it can be seen that Qilin's prestige in the Qinglong Society, besides Chen Jie, was unmatched by anyone.
But,
Chen Jie had only left Southeast Asia for less than half a month when Qilin was captured, and the Qinglong Society's foundation in Chiang Rai Province was completely destroyed.
Several hundred people were slaughtered, and the morale of the entire Qinglong Society was utterly crushed.
All of this was a very heavy blow to the Qinglong Society.
At the same time,
all forces throughout Southeast Asia were watching with a wait-and-see attitude.
Everyone wanted to see what moves the Qinglong Society would make in the coming time? It had to be said,
this attack was absolutely the most fatal blow to the Qinglong Society's deterrence and reputation in Southeast Asia.
Originally, the Qinglong Society had always been 'arrogant and domineering', daring to fight and brawl, famous throughout Southeast Asia.
The Qinglong Society had money and power, well-equipped, and even had its own Xun Lian Ying, constantly training elites.
But who could have imagined that the Qinglong Society would be so fragile!?
In this fierce battle, the Qinglong Society lost too miserably.
Even though everyone in the Qinglong Society Twelve Halls could not accept such a result in their hearts.
Fortunately, at this time, Dragon Head Chen Jie returned.
Otherwise, the morale of the entire Qinglong Society would fall to rock bottom.
Chen Jie did not think about saying any polite words, nor did he say any grand principles to rally people's hearts.
He came expressionlessly to the emergency ward, and through the glass, looked at Ba Te, bandaged tightly on the hospital bed.
At this time Ba Te was still in a coma, having lost too much blood, and at the same time his body had suffered heavy blows; whether he could wake up depended on his willpower.
Several minutes later, just when everyone around felt the atmosphere was extremely oppressive and everyone could not breathe,
Chen Jie took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Ba Te is the most well-rounded person among the Qinglong Twelve Halls!"
"He has very strong leadership, has been a mercenary, fought in underground boxing, and is fiercely loyal to the Qinglong Society!"
"How exactly is his condition now? I need to know the exact situation!"
Shen Yan lowered his head, came to Chen Jie's side, and replied in a low voice:
"Dragon Head, three days ago in Chiang Rai Province, when our Qinglong Society was attacked."
"Ba Te was stabbed seventeen times in succession; although most did not hit vital points, one of them struck the rib artery!"
"He is now in a coma and not waking up because he lost too much blood!"
"The doctor said that when Ba Te was sent to the hospital, only one-third of his blood remained, and his whole person had fallen into a coma state."
"That he can still breathe and has not died can already be called a medical miracle!"
"Whether he can wake up depends on his own willpower; the doctor can do nothing!"
"The Thai Royal Family side has already arranged for people to come over, specifically to handle these matters, and has also transferred the top-level doctors from other places, to see if Ba Te can be woken up!"
"The next three days are the most important time; if Ba Te can hold on, he can get out of the danger period and survive!"
Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Will he wake up, or live like a vegetative person?"
Shen Yan shook his head and sighed helplessly:
"I don't know; the doctor said whether he can wake up depends entirely on his own willpower!"
"As long as he can pull through, I believe there is a chance he can wake up."
Chen Jie nodded and did not speak again.
He stood at the door of the ward, his gaze fixed on the inside of the ward, his mind sinking into thought.
The atmosphere around became heavy and silent.
Half an hour later,
Chen Jie said to those around: "Arrange people to watch this place; we're going back!"
After saying that,
He didn't say much, turned, and left the hospital.
Everyone in the Qinglong Society Twelve Halls, after hearing Chen Jie's words, said nothing more at this moment.
Everyone followed behind Chen Jie, heading to Qinglong Valley.
—
Inside the Conference Hall on the first floor of the Qinglong Valley fortress.
Chen Jie's expression was terribly grim.
He was no longer as carefree as before, nor as composed as he was on the boxing ring.
At this moment, Chen Jie's entire body was filled with killing intent; a brutal aura made no one dare to speak.
That terrifying sense of oppression made everyone suffocate.
Clearly, Dragon Head was furious!
"Shen Yan, tell me everything you know in detail; I need to know the specific situation!"
Hearing this, Shen Yan spoke without nonsense, nodding as he replied: "From the day Dragon Head went to Zhong Dong Dubai to participate in the boxing match, we had already begun expanding into various places in Southeast Asia according to plan!"
"We have money, guns, people, and the backing of the Thai Royal Family, so the expansion of our forces went very smoothly!"
"The territories of the Twelve Halls began to expand, while simultaneously annexing several places, and revenue gradually increased."
"At the beginning, because our intelligence work was very thorough and we invested a lot of funds, every hall went smoothly everywhere in Southeast Asia."
"Not only did we cooperate very well with various forces, but we also signed quite a few cooperation agreements."
Saying this, Shen Yan couldn't help but exhale a breath.
Next, he continued: "Because our expansion allowed all brothers of the Qinglong Society to gain benefits, everyone was full of drive."
"The smooth expansion made us relax our vigilance."
"Especially Chiang Rai Province, as another base of our Qinglong Society besides Chiang Mai, we didn't have many people stationed there!"
"In the past half month, we dispersed most of our personnel to other regions in Southeast Asia, watching our Qinglong Society's development flourish day by day."
"The small factions everywhere in Southeast Asia, whether for money or various benefits, have all begun to defect to us!"
"Qilin is also because of this, wanting to build a second Qinglong Valley in Chiang Rai Province!"
"Originally, all of this went very smoothly; as long as half a year, I believe Chiang Rai Province could definitely be built into our second base in Southeast Asia!"
"But, on the night three days ago, the situation suddenly got out of control!"
"We didn't even receive any news; unexpectedly, the forces throughout Chiang Rai Province were uprooted by someone, suffering heavy losses."
"At the same time, not only Chiang Rai Province, but all our previous efforts to expand everywhere in Southeast Asia were all in vain!"
"This attack has a lot to do with our intelligence failure!"
Shen Yan counts as an elder of the Qinglong Society.
He is one of the earliest personnel to join the Qinglong Society, and at the same time is of Chinese descent, deeply trusted by Chen Jie.
The key is, the Qinglong Society's intelligence department has always been under his responsibility.
And now, he did not shirk responsibility in the slightest, but directly stated that this attack on the Qinglong Society was due to intelligence failure.
Everyone around listened quietly, no one made a sound.
Truthfully, this time the Qinglong Society was attacked, the intelligence department indeed bears responsibility.
But not the main responsibility.
The other side obviously came prepared, deliberately avoiding the investigation of the Qinglong Society's intelligence department.
The shadow department of 'Tianyuan Group' was mobilized, equivalent to 'Four-Faced Buddha' personally taking action.
With the Qinglong Society's intelligence capability, they still couldn't find any news about 'Four-Faced Buddha', let alone this attack! (Chapter End)
