"Don't talk about those depressing things. Let's have a drink to our cooperation." Hearing Lee Chong Wei's vicious declaration of revenge, Mpenza quickly laughed.
"Indeed..." Li Zongwei also felt that it was a bit too much. Although he was filled with rage for revenge, he was now discussing how to replace Xu Heixing. He couldn't let the two elders think that he was only concerned with revenge.
The three of them filled their glasses with wine, and Mpenza smiled and said, "Let's confirm it again. The 60% profit from the Burmese jade mine plus the 40% profit from the Middle East oil is correct, right?"
“That’s right… That’s right.” Lee Chong Wei replied.
What a big appetite! Zheng Yubai couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Mpenza's words. Only Lee Chong Wei, who was blinded by revenge, could agree to such greedy conditions. Tiago and Mpenza, who proposed such conditions, were probably blinded by desire. If their conspiracy succeeded, I'm afraid that the century-old foundation of Yandaotang would be eaten up by them. They committed such a crime, so Zheng Yubai didn't have to feel guilty for sentencing them to death.
The three of them talked about their behind-the-scenes dealings and quickly finished two glasses of wine.
"Master Wuchen, Yazkuk is in the next room, you should go visit him. With his support, our affairs will be much easier." Tiago said after two cups. He was a more cautious person in the elders' council, especially since this time it involved the division of tens of billions of spoils, so he had to be careful.
Li Zongwei responded, said goodbye to the two, and left. Zheng Yubai had already hidden under the table, holding his breath, not revealing his whereabouts.
After Lee Chong Wei left, Thiago and Mpenza laughed and clapped their hands. Thiago said, "It's a good idea to let the two tigers fight each other."
"Hehe, Lee Chong Wei thinks we don't know his ambitions. This guy is in cahoots with the Skull and Bones Society. He will be a disaster sooner or later." Mpenza whispered.
"After we use him to get rid of Xu Heixing, we will kill him. From now on, your godson will be responsible for Asian affairs." Tiago sneered, "You want to get rid of us by taking the Burmese jade mines and the Middle East oil? Do you think we are beggars?"
"Once my godson takes over, we can take over all the business legitimately. Then we can kill all the people in the Council of Elders who are at odds with us, and then this world will be ours." Mpensa also became proud. He poured two more glasses of wine and drank them all with Thiago.
"Let's kill Elder Yan first. This guy is very close to Xu Heixing." Tiago drank up the wine, burped and muttered.
Zheng Yubai laughed inwardly, thinking that you will soon walk on the road to the underworld with Elder Yan, whom you dislike the most. He thought to himself, quietly came out from under the table, and came to the door of the compartment.
Thiago and Mpenza were still happily discussing how to take advantage of the fight between Xu Heixing and Lee Chong Wei to gain the greatest benefit, completely unaware that death was imminent.
Li Zongwei has left, so Zheng Yubai doesn't have to consider it. Tiago and Mpenza in front of him are both old men, and they have no bodyguards. In his eyes, they are just like two chickens.
"That guy Elder Yan is probably having a fierce battle on the bed. I really hope he dies soon." Tiago said as he walked out of the cubicle and happened to see Zheng Yubai. He stopped immediately, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and he wanted to shout.
Zheng Yubai would never give him a chance. With a shake of his hand, the dagger hidden in his sleeve shot out and pierced Tiago's throat.
Thiago's throat flashed with blood, and all his voice was cut off, and he fell down limply. Zheng Yubai took a step forward, supported his body, and slowly put him down.
Mpenza in the cubicle was unaware of this and kept on saying, "It's a good thing that the son of that lecherous old man died, otherwise it would be a real trouble..." Halfway through his words, Mpenza looked at the cubicle door in surprise and saw Zheng Yubai walking in slowly.
"Who are you?" Mpenza was stunned and asked in a trembling voice.
Zheng Yubai didn't have the time to explain to him. He flicked his wrist and the slender but sharp and strong piano wire flew out of his hand, just like a cowboy in the American West trying to lasso a running wild horse, and accurately lassoed Mpensa's neck.
Mpensa grabbed the piano wire around his neck in fear, but Zheng Yubai moved his fingers and pulled him to his side. With a flick of his toes, the wine glass that fell from Mpensa's hand flew up lightly and landed steadily on the sofa beside him. With a little force in his hand, the piano wire tightened and strangled Mpensa's neck.
Mpenza couldn't make a sound, his eyes bulged out, and he struggled. But his strength was too small to fight against Zheng Yubai, and he was completely immobile in just a moment.
The two elders who were still daydreaming just a few minutes ago lost their lives in an instant. Zheng Yubai took another step closer to his goal.
"Targets number two and three have been taken care of, but I saw Lee Chong Wei. He went to see Yacchuk." Zheng Yubai dragged the bodies of Mpensa and Thiago into the compartment and stuffed them under the sofa, then contacted Dominic, who was responsible for reporting the location.
Dominic obviously didn't expect Li Zongwei to suddenly appear. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Number four is originally Yacchuk. If that's the case, change the plan. Numbers five, six, seven and eight are together. You need to get rid of them as soon as possible."
"No problem." After asking for the direction, Zheng Yubai left the room without any hesitation and returned to the second floor along the same route.
Van Derno is a Dutchman. He started out as a drug dealer and later became a leader of the Amsterdam underworld. Since joining the Yandaotang, he has been promoted step by step until he entered the Presbyterian Church five years ago. In this highest leadership organization, Van Derno is an anomaly. He does not have a prominent family background and his background is not clean, but he has been climbing up with good popularity. It can also be called a legendary story.
Now the popular Van Delno was sitting on a large sofa, drinking tea with the other three elders.
"Thiago and Mpensa have been acting a lot abnormally recently. What do you think?" Van Delno asked leisurely.
"Humph, both of them are halfway into the coffin, and you know they just like money and won't do anything too outrageous." The speaker was Ruan Xingyu, who was known as the think tank of the Presbyterian Church. He was Vietnamese and made a fortune in the war when the United States invaded Vietnam. After that, he became a drug lord and arms dealer who dominated Southeast Asia. Relying on his extraordinary wisdom, he quickly became a senior official of Yandaotang and joined the Presbyterian Church at the age of fifty. He was also considered a figure.
"Ruan, you have always been a very smart and cautious person, but you underestimated them this time. Do you know about the appearance of Lee Chong Wei? If my intelligence is correct, the two old guys you mentioned are in contact with Lee Chong Wei, and I don't know what conspiracy they are planning." said Stanley, who is in charge of intelligence work in the Presbyterian Church.
"Lee Chong Wei? He is an ambitious man. We can use him now." Dudek, who ranked eighth in Zheng Yubai's assassination target, sat next to Stanley and made disdainful remarks.
"Lee Chong Wei is not someone who can be dealt with easily." Stanley was dissatisfied with his colleagues' disdain. "Don't think that only the Skull and Bones Society is our enemy. The interior of Yan Dao Tang is also full of dangers."
"Okay, Stanley. Are you too nervous? I have the best red wine here. Have a glass and you'll feel much better." Van Delno smiled and said, "Lee Chong Wei is indeed an ambitious man, but if you want to deal with him, you only need a few bodyguards."
He pointed at the four burly men behind him and said, "These are the four bodyguards I just selected. They are all powerful aliens. I really want to know if Li Zongwei can survive with their cooperation. But we don't need to deal with him so anxiously. Xu Heixing is the first one to be eliminated."
Stanley looked at the four motionless men and did not express any objection. He grabbed the bottle of red wine on the table and poured himself a glass, hoping to make himself feel better. Because he was exposed to the internal intelligence of the organization all day long, he was the only one who knew the intricate relationships within Yandao Hall and the actions of those ambitious subordinates. In the past few days, Stanley had always felt that something was wrong, but his colleagues did not believe that anyone dared to oppose the decision of the Elders' Council.
"Maybe I'm a little sensitive?" Stanley thought to himself as he watched his three colleagues chatting and laughing about how to suppress the recently rising Xu Heixing.
Everyone was in a suite on the second floor. Including the four bodyguards, there were eight people in total. There were also two bodyguards outside, but they had silently turned into two corpses. Zheng Yubai used a dagger and piano wire to instantly kill two top bodyguards in the world without making any sound.
A bodyguard standing behind Van Delno in the inner room twitched his ears, looked at the outer room with some uneasiness, hesitated for a moment and walked out. He seemed to have heard something, but he was not sure. His cautious character made him decide to go to the outer room to take a look.
Zheng Yubai heard the footsteps. He hid at the door outside and sighed inwardly. There were too many people this time. I was afraid that I couldn't kill them instantly without leaving any trace.
The bodyguard opened the door between the inner and outer rooms and walked out. When he was about to close the door, a fist appeared in front of him.
Zheng Yubai's punch was extremely slow, and he only exerted force when it was half an inch in front of the opponent's head. He used his internal strength to penetrate the bodyguard's head. Before he could react, his brain had been destroyed and turned into a pile of paste. However, on the surface, he did not have any scars, but his body had gone limp.
Zheng Yubai killed the bodyguard with one punch and dodged into the inner room. While rushing in, he had already grabbed the pistol in his hand. Although he was not very familiar with firearms, in a small room, the distance was so close, and the sudden shooting left no time to dodge. So even though Zheng Yubai's shooting skills were poor, he still knocked down three people after shooting six bullets.
The unlucky Van Delno happened to be across from Zheng Yubai. He was hit on the forehead by the first bullet, and his brains spurted out, splashing all over the faces of the three elders sitting across from him. Before the three could scream in fear, two of Delno's bodyguards also fell under Zheng Yubai's gun one after another. The other one was very clever, and the bullet only grazed his arm on one side of his body.
Seeing that Zheng Yubai had finished firing six bullets, the bodyguard rushed over like a tiger. He had superpowers, but the range was very narrow and he could only use them when he was close to Zheng Yubai. When he rushed in front of Zheng Yubai, his eyes blurred and a black shadow shot over. The bodyguard wanted to dodge, but the object was too fast and hit him on the forehead.
The remaining bodyguard groaned and fell to the ground. The pistol thrown by Zheng Yubai hit him on the head with great force, shattering his skull. He did not die from the bullet, but got a more tragic ending.
These moves were very fast, taking only two or three seconds. At this time, the three elders whose faces were sprayed with Delno's brains opened their mouths in fear and wanted to scream.
As Zheng Yubai threw the pistol, he was already in action. His palm quickly slapped Ruan Xingyu's head, who was closest to him. Ruan Xingyu's mouth was half open when he stopped. He was hit directly in the brain by Zheng Yubai's fist. Like the bodyguard outside, his originally intelligent mind instantly turned into a pile of paste.
After killing Ruan Xingyu, it was too late to deal with the other two. Although Zheng Yubai was extremely fast and the opponent was a little slow because of the sudden incident, he could not surpass the reaction speed of humans.
Stanley had worked in intelligence after all, and was younger than Dudek. When faced with such a sudden attack, his first reaction was to shrink his neck and then roll on the ground. Although he rolled into Delno's brain and blood, he didn't care about the dirt. At this time, saving his life is the most important thing.
Dudek was not as smart as Stanley. He turned his head in horror to look at Zheng Yubai, and screamed with his mouth wide open. After Zheng Yubai killed Ruan Xingyu, he swung his fist, and Dudek's scream stopped abruptly, like a duck with its neck strangled.
Although the sound was loud, the soundproofing of this room was good. Zheng Yubai didn't care how many people would hear the sound, and jumped over the sofa to chase Stanley.
Stanley took advantage of the short time when Zheng Yubai was killing Dudek and came to the door. While running away, he took out a pistol from his arms.
Zheng Yubai strode after him, and saw Stanley turning around and aiming.
"Bang" blue smoke came out of the muzzle of the gun, and a bullet flew out of the chamber and headed straight for Zheng Yubai.
Zheng Yubai was very anxious when he saw Stanley take out his gun. He was not afraid that Stanley would shoot him, but he was worried that the gunshot would alert others. Although Dudek had just shouted, according to Zheng Yubai's speculation, the soundproofing of the room should be able to offset most of it. In addition, this place is not far from the noisy hall downstairs, so unless you have particularly sharp hearing, you should not be able to hear it.
But if Stanley fired now, there would be no way to hide it anymore. Zheng Yubai was worried, but he didn't slow down at all. As Stanley's bullet was fired, he had already slid sideways. The bullet passed by him, and Zheng Yubai jumped up, and before Stanley could fire again, he punched through the air, and the punch broke through the air and hit Stanley's head.
After the punch was thrown, Zheng Yubai breathed a sigh of relief. It was not because he was confident that the punch would hit Stanley, but because he did not hear any gunshot.
Although there was a bullet hole in the wall behind him, there was no sound of gunfire. As a head of intelligence, Stanley developed a very secretive personality. The pistol he carried with him was equipped with a silencer, so naturally there was not much noise. This was originally a secret weapon prepared by Stanley to kill people in secret, but he did not expect that it would help Zheng Yubai at this moment.
Before Stanley could fire another shot, he was hit on the head by the invisible energy force blasted out by Zheng Yubai. He fell backwards, and the back of his head hit the door frame, which bounced back and he fell to the ground.
The force of this punch utilized the powerful internal strength of hitting a bull from a distance. Although it was not as exaggerated as the crushing blow in martial arts novels, it still gave Stanley a concussion. He fell to the ground, groaning in pain, his hands and feet twitching, unable to move.
Zheng Yubai took a step forward and stomped down, stepping right on Stanley's neck. Stanley's cervical vertebrae snapped and he died instantly.
"Huh... Fortunately, it has a silencer." Zheng Yubai looked at the pistol that Stanley dropped, picked it up and checked it. There were still five bullets in it, which could be used for assassination.
Zheng Yubai checked the bodies in the room and confirmed that everyone was dead, then contacted Dominic.
"Targets five, six, seven and eight have been solved. What's next?"
"Very good, No. 9, No. 10 and No. 11 are still in the lobby on the first floor, and No. 12 and No. 13 are now in the secret room on the third floor. You should know how to enter." Dominic calmly arranged the next assassination target for Zheng Yubai.
"Okay." Zheng Yubai didn't say anything. It had come to this point. Only by completely destroying the Council of Elders could a new leadership group be brought to Yandao Hall. Although it might not change anything, at least it could maintain a fragile peace. Being able to avoid war was the greatest merit. Zheng Yubai was no longer like an arrow on a string that had to be shot, but an arrow on the way. If it didn't hit the target, then everything he had done before would be in vain.
After receiving the information about the next two targets and about to go out to the secret room on the third floor, Zheng Yubai felt a familiar breath blowing on his face.
"Not good!" Zheng Yubai's heart trembled, and he immediately suppressed the pounding of his heart. The huge danger was like an endless black curtain looming over him, and the hairs on his body instantly stood up.
Without any guesswork, Zheng Yubai knew what was going on. He had had this feeling before, but he had won by relying on accurate judgment. But this time, he was obviously taken advantage of by his opponent due to his negligence, and he was already at a disadvantage before the fight even started.
"Lee Chong Wei, where are you..." Zheng Yubai shouted in a low voice.
"Haha, Zheng Yubai, we meet again." Li Zongwei's voice rang in his ears, and Zheng Yubai felt the pressure on him increased. But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find Li Zongwei.
"Yes, we meet again so soon, we are really destined to meet each other." Although Zheng Yubai was a little surprised, he remained calm on the surface. If he showed any panic or hesitation, Li Zongwei would find his flaw and deliver a fatal blow.
"I have always wanted to take revenge on you, but I didn't expect you to come to my door. This saves me the trouble of looking for you." Lee Chong Wei continued sinisterly.
"Since we have met, let's settle the accounts together." Zheng Yubai said calmly. He was mobilizing all his senses, hoping to feel where Li Zongwei was. But Li Zongwei's hypnotic ability was too strong. This time he didn't know where he was hiding. The continuous threats came like a tide. In such a huge wave, it was difficult for Zheng Yubai to lock on the target.
"Want to find me? Don't waste your energy. I will appear from a place you can't imagine and send you to hell." Lee Chong Wei seemed to know what Zheng Yubai was thinking and said with a sneer.
Zheng Yubai did not respond. He tried hard to distinguish the source of Li Zongwei's voice, hoping to determine the approximate direction. If he could not even determine which direction the enemy was attacking from, then this place would probably become his grave.
"Are you still looking? I'm right behind you." The cold voice made Zheng Yubai's scalp numb, as if Lee Chong Wei was talking right behind him.
Zheng Yubai rolled forward like lightning and kicked his right foot backwards. If there was an enemy behind him, this kick could temporarily force the opponent back.
There was a sneer behind him, and Zheng Yubai kicked in the air. He rolled to the corner in a panic, with his back protected by the wall, and then he realized that there was no one in the room.
"Hahaha, Zheng Yubai, you are just a plaything in the palm of my hand. I will torture you and let you die in pain." Lee Chong Wei laughed wildly.
"You wish..." Zheng Yubai used to be a wooden man who would not get angry even if provoked unless necessary. But now it was different. He was not carrying his own life on his shoulders, but the lives of countless people who were about to be destroyed by the war. Therefore, the tyrannical side of Zheng Yubai's personality was gradually aroused.
With his fists clenched tightly, his joints made a crackling sound because he was using too much force. Facing the threat of Lee Chong Wei, Zheng Yubai was ready to explode at any time. Beside him, a cloud of black fog gradually formed. In the strange fog, many strange images flashed, as if countless beasts and ghosts were hiding in it, ready to jump out and attack Zheng Yubai at any time.
Zheng Yubai knew that things were going to get bad. In the current situation, it was clear that he was under a mental attack from Lee Chong Wei, and he was already experiencing hallucinations.
Shaking his head vigorously and keeping his spine close to the wall behind him, Zheng Yubai tried to open his eyes wide and look at the mist, keeping a calm judgment. As long as Li Zongwei dared to attack, he would fight at any time. (To be continued)
