"Everyone gather around, I have a new plan. Xiaolei, Ren Ying, you two get six cars by tomorrow and then park them each within two kiloters of here. Li Kuo, make sure to mark the locations for us. In case sothing happens, we can always find transportation to leave. Li San, rent an apartnt in the nearest building to use as a second contact point. Li Kuo, Han Shengjun, your little gadgets might actually co in handy. But we'll need to install so caras around this partially constructed building."
"Xiaofan? What are you up to? Why not just take down the base and leave?"
"Shut up, we're risking our lives now, and if we relax even a little, it could be us who end up dead. Since I brought you all here, I'm responsible for everyone's safety. Rember, no matter what happens, protecting your own life is the most important thing."
Hearing Xiaofan's rebuke, Li San quietly settled down. Indeed, Xiaofan was right. Today they handled seven people very smoothly, so Li San thought this Red Butterfly wasn't such a big deal.
But this kind of relaxation is the most deadly. In leading a team, Xiaofan didn't have the experience of Lei Xiaolei. In fact, this was the first ti he was taking on Red Butterfly with his people. It's always better to be cautious.
Thus, in this operation, everyone expressed their views, utilizing all their capabilities to the fullest.
Another day passed, and a piece of news made Xiaofan furrow his brows tightly.
His bounty on the assassination order suddenly skyrocketed to two hundred million.
It was going to keep increasing anyway, but why did it not increase at all after dealing with the Dongri Group, only to inexplicably jump up now?
"Xiaofan, what should we do now?" Li Kuo asked softly.
"Proceed with the new plan, Li Kuo, be careful on your end. Han Shengjun, keep an eye on him."
"Okay."
"Don't worry."
"Everyone else, do your thing, keep eliminating targets." With that, Xiaofan quickly left the unfinished building with Li San and the others.
For Li Kuo, hacking into an unprotected firewall was effortless. As long as he found the signed nas, he could investigate their true identities in this city. By comparing photos, he could confirm whether soone was involved with Red Butterfly.
These assassins were very alert. Once they sensed soone, their first reaction was to draw their weapons in defense. All they needed to do was kill them directly then.
"Oh no, oh no..."
"What's wrong?"
In the unfinished building, a tied-up Red Butterfly peripheral mber kept moaning, looking very uncomfortable.
"I need to use the restroom, my stomach hurts."
"Damn it." Han Shengjun walked over to untie him, then angrily shouted, "Do it here. If you try to run, I'll kill you on the spot."
Seeing Han Shengjun waving a military knife, the man nodded quickly in fear. This group of people was all tough; none were to be ssed with.
After finishing, the man obediently returned. Then Han Shengjun, holding a rope, prepared to tie him up again.
"Hey, can you not tie like that again? Look, my hands turned purple. Tie to the tree so I can stand for a bit; squatting made my legs numb."
"Humph, go there." Han Shengjun didn't seem to want to make it too difficult for him; after all, once everything was over, he'd be taken back to the Capital City and handed over to Lin Miaoke.
After securing him, Han Shengjun returned to his original spot, discussing matters with Li Kuo and occasionally sending ssages through the walkie-talkie.
Ti passed unknowingly, anwhile, the man tied to the tree began to move. It turned out he had earlier pretended to have a stomach ache and found a piece of glass. Then, waiting until Han Shengjun dropped his guard, he started using the glass to cut the rope on his wrists.
Once he successfully untied himself, he quietly left the unfinished building and imdiately ran away.
"Xiaofan, that guy really escaped. Damn, I should've left a sharper piece of glass. It took him nearly half an hour to cut the rope; it was driving mad."
"What now?" Xiaofan's voice ca through the walkie-talkie.
"Brother Han is after him."
"Hmm. I've already noticed soone tailing us. Once Han Shengjun returns, you all move to the second location quickly."
"Got it, you be careful."
Soon, the Red Butterfly boss received a ssage saying that the guy taken by Ye Xiaofan had escaped and called the previous contact to reveal Li Kuo and the others' hideout.
The Red Butterfly boss was thrilled, imdiately sending assassins to Yanjing to deal with Li Kuo and Han Shengjun. Now knowing Xiaofan only had six people, the boss placed a bounty on them: Ye Xiaofan at 200 million, the others at 50 million each. Whoever killed them would get the reward.
After the call, the man felt accomplished, knowing the boss might reward him and perhaps make him a full-fledged Red Butterfly mber. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile wide.
"Hey, what's got you smiling so gleefully?"
Suddenly, a voice ca from behind, sending chills down his spine. Before he could turn around, Han Shengjun grabbed him by the neck and kneed him hard in the stomach.
"Ugh." The man spat acidic fluid in pain, not even getting a chance to plead before Han Shengjun shoved him back into the car.
With a "crack," Han Shengjun twisted and broke his neck with ease.
Then, Han Shengjun drove back with the body to the unfinished building, casually tossing it aside before he and Li Kuo packed their gear, erased their traces, and hurried to the second hideout.
Elsewhere, realizing they were being followed, Xiaofan imdiately inford Li San and the others to call off the hunt and retreat. They needed to be extrely cautious not to leave any tails behind them.
"Alright, I just have one more to handle; it'll be done soon." Li San replied promptly to the order.
"No, retreat... imdiately."
"Wha- what?" Hearing Xiaofan's unusual tone, Li San hurriedly asked.
"Quick retreat, everyone fall back, drive away first. Li Kuo, I'll drive to lure them to the unfinished building. Get ready."
"Understood."
"Alright, I guess... I'll retreat, then."
The channel on the walkie-talkie was the sa, and the signal was very strong. Li Kuo equipped everyone's phones with signal boosters, allowing them to receive each other's signals without a problem within five kiloters. Additionally, the walkie-talkies were so compact, like Bluetooth headsets, that they could be worn on the ear easily.
