Chapter 2388: Extremely Arrogant!

Hearing this, Li Yalin was stunned for a moment and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Because of his previous profession, he was very familiar with the Wanlong Palace, and he even knew that the Wanlong Palace had invested huge funds to build its own permanent base in Syria.

For a mercenary organization, being able to have a permanent base basically puts it far ahead of other similar mercenary organizations all at once.

Mercenaries are more hated by law enforcement departments of various countries than gray forces like Hong Wu.

The vast majority of mercenary organizations are like rats crossing the street in countries around the world, and can only survive sneakily, never daring to openly display their signs, unless the organization can cooperate deeply with the government.

Although there are many mercenary organizations in the United States, except for a few that cooperate with the White House, work for the White House, and act as cannon fodder, the others are basically hidden quietly in the United States. Most of them are composed of US veterans. In order not to be cracked down on by the domestic police, they can only live as individuals in the country and then go overseas to take missions.

For example, some mercenary organizations have a total of more than 100 people. Everyone usually has their own cover identity and work, pretending to be law-abiding citizens. After receiving a mission, they disguise themselves as tourists to leave the country.

Although it is not illegal in the country, they are armed combatants after all, so they must be focused on in the country and always have to be sneaky.

It is precisely this point that limits the development of most mercenary organizations.

But once a mercenary organization can openly have its own permanent base, it is completely different.

When the Wanlong Palace cooperated with Syria, the US CIA investigated the reason and even wanted to intervene to prevent the Wanlong Palace from developing too fast in Syria and affecting the entire mercenary industry.

But Syria was determined to cooperate with the Wanlong Palace. It is said that it is also related to the very influential opposition Hamid in Syria. It seems that the Wanlong Palace, the Syrian government army, and Hamid have reached some kind of agreement.

When this news came back, the US CIA immediately inferred that within the next two or three years, the Wanlong Palace would jump to become the strongest mercenary organization in the world.

Now, Ye Chen suddenly said that the entire Wanlong Palace is his, which indeed shocked Li Yalin.

Immediately, Li Yalin suddenly remembered something and blurted out: "Young Master Ye... I remember... there was news before that the Wanlong Palace had conquered the Ye family in Yanjing... could it be that these were all smoke bombs you released?"

"Yes." Ye Chen said bluntly: "Before the real enemy appears, I will try my best to hide my strength and keep a low profile. If the outside world knows that the Wanlong Palace has surrendered to the Ye family, this matter will definitely cause an uproar. At that time, my identity may not be hidden. So instead of this, it is better to let the outside world think that the Ye family has been pinched by the Wanlong Palace and is not even worth fearing. As long as the outside world does not pay attention to the Ye family, my identity can continue to be hidden."

Li Yalin nodded slightly and said: "Since the person who killed your parents back then and the person who tried to kill your maternal grandparents a few days ago are likely to belong to the same organization, then you really have to keep your cool and try to hide your edge. The other party hasn't given up after twenty years. I'm afraid there are many hidden secrets behind this matter. In case they know you are still alive, I'm afraid the other party will definitely take action against you immediately."

"Yes." Ye Chen said indifferently: "I don't like the situation where the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy is in the dark and I am even darker, it is the top priority to find more clues about them."

Li Yalin said sternly: "Young Master Ye, don't worry, I will go to Syria as soon as possible to meet the live one."

Ye Chen looked at the time and said: "Okay, these are the two things I need you to do. You can leave here now."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "By the way, the An family hasn't left New York recently. They have been staying at the Anbang Building in Manhattan. I suggest you go see them first, because they are very concerned about you."

"Okay." Li Yalin said without hesitation: "Then I will go see them first. Since the outside world doesn't know that I was at the scene that day, if I go to the Anbang Building, even if the other party is secretly paying attention to the situation at the Anbang Building, they shouldn't be suspicious of me. After all, I am a long-time friend of your eldest uncle, and our family and the An family are also family friends. It is only natural for me to visit the Anbang Building."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "They saw me that night and knew that you were taken away by people I arranged, but they probably couldn't imagine that you could come back to life. After you meet, just tell them that a mysterious person saved you after giving you a pill, and then asked Miss Fei to send you to see them. As for who the mysterious person is, you don't know either. They will definitely link the person who saved you with the person who saved them. As for the rest, let them guess for themselves."

"Okay, Young Master Ye!" Li Yalin said seriously: "I have noted it down."

Ye Chen nodded, opened the door, called Fei Kexin in, and said: "Miss Fei, please arrange a helicopter to personally send Detective Li to the Anbang Building in Manhattan. It is best to contact my eldest uncle in advance and say that you have something to visit. When I saved them that day, you were the one who took people to be responsible for the aftermath at the scene. They will definitely not be overly guarded against you."

Fei Kexin said respectfully: "Okay, Mr. Ye, I will contact the An family and say hello to them."

At this very moment.

Anbang Building, Manhattan.

The An family is holding a meeting together to summarize and discuss the recent situation in all aspects.

The symptoms of the old master's Alzheimer's disease have been deteriorating, so every day when he wakes up, the old lady and several children have to spend a long time explaining the current situation to him.

Fortunately, the old master has also experienced great storms and waves. Although he has no direct memory of what happened that day, after listening to his children's explanation, he can immediately sort out the current situation.

Since the accident, the An family has not left New York.

Although they have begun to resume handling various family affairs, for the sake of safety, the old master still decided that everyone should not leave the Anbang Building for the time being.

Ye Chen's third uncle, An Zhaonan, has always wanted to go to his wife Dong Liqin's maternal family to get to the bottom of it. His lover, whom he has known for nearly twenty years, is actually a killer hidden in the dark, which makes him hard to accept, and he even wants to investigate further along this line.

However, the An family's subordinates soon sent back news that everyone in the Dong family had disappeared overnight, as if they had evaporated from the world.

An Kaifeng instructed his subordinates to check the clues of the Dong family's assets, and after checking for several days, he finally found some information.

So, An Kaifeng reported to the family: "After investigation, the people I sent out found that the Dong family's enterprises, equity, creditor's rights, and all real estate had been cashed out before the incident. Some were sold, some were mortgaged. In short, they did everything they could to turn various assets into money."

An Zhaonan asked hurriedly: "Then although they disappeared, they must have taken this money away, right? We follow the money and check down, we can always find some clues."

An Kaifeng shook his head and said seriously: "The bad thing is that the Dong family cashed out more than 7 billion US dollars in assets, but didn't take a single cent away."

"What?" An Chongqiu exclaimed: "Didn't take it away?! Then where is this money?"

An Kaifeng said: "Before the incident, they set up a family trust, but didn't put the money in immediately. Instead, after our accident, they packed all the assets into the trust and then evaporated from the world."

As he spoke, An Kaifeng added: "It is estimated that it was after they confirmed that the mission failed."

"Fuck!" An Chongqiu immediately cursed: "This group of people is really arrogant! They didn't take the money away and put it directly into the family trust. This is clearly trying to tell us that they will come back!" ===== CHAPTER 2389 =====
