Chapter 433: 386 Breakthrough

Just like other Yanhuang Organization Offices across the Huaxia mainland, the Yanhuang Organization Southeast Asia Special Zone Office also owns its premises, located in the Bangkok Suburb, a bit of a distance from the government hall.

At eight o’clock, Yan Lei, the person in charge of the Yanhuang Organization Southeast Asia Special District, arrived at the office on time.

No sooner had Yan Lei stepped into the office than his secretary followed, intending to ask about Yan Lei’s schedule for the day in order to make arrangements in advance—this was the secretary’s top priority each day.

"Notify Director Wang Shoujun of the intelligence office to come see me," Yan Lei quickly instructed.

"Yes, Director," the secretary acknowledged the order and left.

"Bang bang—"

Five minutes later, Wang Shoujun, in charge of intelligence work for the Yanhuang Organization Southeast Asia Special Zone Office, knocked on the door of Yan Lei’s office.

"Come in."

"Creak—"

With Yan Lei’s permission, Wang Shoujun pushed the door open and greeted Yan Lei, "Director, you wanted to see me."

"Shoujun, take a seat," Yan Lei said.

Yan Lei gestured towards the sofa. After Wang Shoujun sat down, he began to ask, "Has there been anything unusual with the underground forces since midnight last night until now?"

"Unusual?"

Perhaps not expecting Yan Lei to ask this, Wang Shoujun was momentarily startled, then he shook his head, "According to the reports from the various intelligence offices, there have been no unusual occurrences. Just like the last few days, the chaos continued last night. Since the territories left behind by Nanqinghong were basically divided up before yesterday, last night the Dark Council, Yakuza, and Giant Axe Organization, the three major forces, went after the local forces around them, showing an overwhelming trend."

"What about the Tiger Gang?" Yan Lei inquired.

"The Tiger Gang, having their stronghold in Bangkok just like Nanqinghong, gained the most territory. Last night, they focused on consolidating the territories they had seized without attacking those weaker gangs, nor did they clash with the three major foreign forces," Wang Shoujun replied.

Hearing Wang Shoujun’s response again, Yan Lei fell silent, his eyes flashing with speculation, unsure what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Wang Shoujun tactfully did not dare to disturb him.

"Shoujun, according to your earlier report, the chaos continued until dawn just like the previous nights, right?" After a moment of silence, Yan Lei asked again.

"Hmm."

Wang Shoujun nodded in confirmation but felt that today’s Yan Lei was somewhat unusual.

"Given the current situation, things are critical. Ye Wenhao, being so confident, should have made his move last night, shouldn’t he?"

Yan Lei was very curious, and he couldn’t help but ask himself. Through Wang Shoujun’s report, he was sure that Ye Wenhao had not made a move last night, otherwise there would have been some abnormalities.

Curious as he was, he wasn’t a worm in Ye Wenhao’s stomach, unable to guess Ye Wenhao’s thoughts, and could only wait.

However—

What puzzled Yan Lei was that from morning to afternoon, Ye Wenhao stayed in the special zone office building, and unusually, he didn’t inquire about the progress of chaos in the special zone from the relevant departments.

Ye Wenhao’s unusual behavior not only puzzled Yan Lei, but also left the personnel responsible for dealing with the chaos equally baffled.

By evening, close to quitting time, Yan Lei received a call from Song Ka, the head of the special zone police.

"Hello, Director Song." As the call connected, Yan Lei spoke first.

"Good day, Mr. Yan."

Song Ka, a native Thai, was not accustomed to the Huaxia title of "Director" and had always addressed Yan Lei as Mr. Yan.

Yan Lei, having served in the Yanhuang Organization Southeast Asia Special District for over two years, was already used to Song Ka’s form of address and didn’t mind it.

At the same time, although he guessed Song Ka’s call was definitely related to Ye Wenhao’s unusual behavior, he remained deliberately silent, prompting Song Ka to speak first about the matter.

"Mr. Yan, I hope you don’t mind me asking, did you give the special chief the information on the underworld bosses last night?" As Yan Lei had predicted, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Song Ka went straight to the point.

"I did," Yan Lei did not hide it.

"The special chief wanted the information on the underworld bosses, presumably to personally reach out to those people to deter them. However, according to my information, those underground forces were still frantically fighting over territories last night, and the chaos did not cease."

Song Ka asked with confusion, "And... today, the special chief not only stayed inside the office building all day, but also didn’t mention anything about the chaos, isn’t that odd?"

"I also find it strange, and I thought you might know some inside information," Yan Lei said with a wry smile.

"I asked Minister Shaoxin from the Ministry of Justice earlier, and he also found the special chief’s behavior today very odd," Song Ka said indirectly, and then he couldn’t help asking, "Mr. Yan, what do you think the special chief is planning to do?"

"Not sure," Yan Lei replied.

As he spoke, Yan Lei thought about the unusual tone of Ye Wenhao’s phone call from the previous night and said, "However, last night during our conversation, the special chief sounded very confident."

"Confident?" Song Ka was taken aback.

"Yes, his tone sounded completely different from the meeting; it seemed like he was confident he could stop the chaos," Yan Lei reported truthfully, his curiosity about what Ye Wenhao planned to do growing even stronger.

"Could it be that the Special Chief already has a way to stop the chaos? But... he hasn’t done anything all day, right?" Song Ka couldn’t help but ask, as if questioning Yan Lei, yet also questioning himself.

This time, Yan Lei didn’t say anything further, and Song Ka realized that he shouldn’t have asked that question. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he hung up the phone.

After putting down the office phone, Song Ka rose from his seat and walked to the window, looking towards the main building at Ye Wenhao’s office, with a deeper sense of curiosity—what exactly was Ye Wenhao going to do?

Meanwhile.

In a villa in the southern section of North Bang Yai, Bangkok.

The villa covered an area roughly the size of two soccer fields, with over a dozen well-placed villas standing among the grounds. Coconut trees were visible everywhere around the villas, and the lawns sparkled with a golden glow under the setting sun. The venetian blinds looked exquisite, and the entire villa was infused with Thailand’s local charm.

Several men wearing black shirts, wireless headsets, and carrying guns walked through the villa, responsible for its security.

In the villa at the farthest east, six core members of the Tiger Gang were gathering, waiting for the arrival of Taihu.

Ten minutes later, Taihu, the leader of the Tiger Gang, stepped into the conference room of the villa, accompanied by two hired bodyguards that had cost a fortune.

"Boss."

With Taihu’s entrance, the six core members of the Tiger Gang stood up to greet him in unison.

Taihu nodded slightly and quickly took his seat at the head of the conference table.

"A Bang, explain the current situation."

Watching everyone take their seats, Taihu placed his hands on the table and swept his gaze over a short, dark-skinned middle-aged man, his tone leaving no room for dispute.

"Yes, boss."

A Bang nodded at Taihu, then, after a moment’s thought, began, "After Nanqinghong withdrew from Southeast Asia, including us, all the gangs have crazily snatched up the territories and illicit money-making businesses left by Nanqinghong. Initially, almost the entire underworld of the Southeast Asia Special Zone was involved in this turf war. But... since yesterday, the territories left by Nanqinghong have mostly been taken."

"Last night, while we were securing the territories we snagged, the Dark Council, Giant Axe Organization, and Yakuza, the three major foreign forces, successively attacked some weaker forces and snatched their territories."

A Bang paused, pulling out a map of the Southeast Asia Special Zone, and said, "Please look, I’ve marked the distribution of Dark Council, Giant Axe Organization, and Yakuza. Among them, Giant Axe Organization’s influence is mainly in Myanmar, Yakuza’s in Vietnam, and Dark Council’s chiefly in Malaysia."

"Based on the offensive trends of these three forces, it won’t be long before they rule the underground forces of their respective regions, thereby encircling us and putting us in a very dangerous situation."

Having said this, A Bang stopped and looked up at Taihu, ready to return the floor to him.

Taihu picked up where A Bang left off, "A Bang just explained it clearly. The reason I called you here today was to discuss one thing: how we should deal with the upcoming situation."

"Boss, personally, I believe the three major forces—Dark Council, Giant Axe Organization, and Yakuza—probably won’t clash with us, at least not in the short term," said a middle-aged man wearing glasses, after Taihu had finished speaking. "For one thing, although these three forces are powerful, they are strictly monitored by the Yanhuang Organization and have limited personnel in Southeast Asia. Even if they can easily attack those weaker forces, it’s nearly impossible for them to take complete control in a short period. Moreover, it’s been almost a week since the chaos triggered by Nanqinghong’s exit from Southeast Asia; the police, the Special Case Department, and the Yanhuang Organization should be making their move soon. The three major forces probably won’t risk being wiped out to target us."

"I agree with this statement."

"I also agree."

...

Hearing the bespectacled middle-aged man’s words, the remaining key members of the Tiger Gang each voiced their opinions, unanimously agreeing that the three forces probably wouldn’t act against the Tiger Gang.

"Nothing in this world is absolute," Taihu, perhaps unsatisfied with his subordinates’ chorus of agreement, frowned and said coldly, "What if the three major forces decide to snatch our turf from us?"

There was no answer; including A Bang, who was in charge of intelligence, all six core members of the Tiger Gang clammed up.

Because... they were all too aware that if the three major forces joined forces against the Tiger Gang, there was no way the Tiger Gang could withstand them!

"I hope you’ll all think seriously, and speak up once you’ve got something," Taihu said, his gaze as sharp as a knife sweeping over everyone in the silent conference room, his tone somber.

At that moment.

No one dared to speak hastily, instead they racked their brains as Taihu had instructed.

At the same time.

Ye Fan drove an inconspicuous car and stopped in a forest three kilometers from the villa.

After bringing the car to a stop, Ye Fan stepped out, glanced at the setting sun that was about to disappear, and with a flicker of his foot, he vanished like a phantom under the sunset, heading straight for the villa.

He was going to break the game through the Tiger Gang!
