409: Chapter 405 A Murderous Intent Resurfaces 409: Chapter 405 A Murderous Intent Resurfaces Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun kissed passionately like dry tinder meeting a fierce flame when suddenly the ringing of a phone filled the room—it was Ye Fan’s phone on the bedside table.

However, Ye Fan paid it no heed, continuing to kiss Li Zhaojun with abandon.

After a while, Li Zhaojun turned her face away, gasping, “Your phone is ringing.”

“Let it be, even if it’s a call from heaven, I won’t take it!” Ye Fan said breathlessly, proceeding to kiss her sweet, delicate lips once more.

The two reignited their passion, but to their surprise, after the phone had stopped ringing, it started up again for a second time.

Li Zhaojun pulled away from Ye Fan’s fervent kiss and said, “Just hit the reject button on your phone, the ringing is ruining the mood.”

Reluctantly, Ye Fan let go of Li Zhaojun’s tender body and crawled over to grab the phone.

“You should just take the call.

There’s no rush,” Li Zhaojun suggested, lying on her back and looking up at the ceiling, still gasping for air.

Though they had come this far, she suddenly felt she wasn’t quite ready mentally.

Ye Fan had intended not to look at the caller ID and just dismiss the call, then switch off his phone.

But upon Li Zhaojun’s words, he decided to answer so as not to appear too eager in her eyes.

But once he saw the caller ID, his face immediately turned serious.

After rejecting the call, he turned to Li Zhaojun and said, “I’m going to step out to take a call.”

As he spoke, he picked up his clothes and began to dress.

Li Zhaojun sat up, her delicate eyebrows knitting slightly, “Can’t you just take it here?”

“Heh, it’s not convenient,” Ye Fan didn’t explain in detail, quickly got dressed, and said to Li Zhaojun, “Wait for me, I’ll be back soon!”

With that, he left the room in quick strides.

After Ye Fan left, Li Zhaojun sprawled back onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, her heart sinking in contemplation, “At this point, why won’t he even take a phone call in front of me?

Is it a call from Lu Xiaoman?

Or from another woman…”

Ye Fan stepped out of the room and quickly found a secluded spot to return the missed call.

Shortly after, the other party picked up.

“Mo Shang, what’s the emergency for calling me at this hour?” Ye Fan inquired.

A slightly husky, cold female voice came from the phone, “Boss, an hour ago, the same person who placed a bounty on your life last time has posted another bounty for your head on the international assassin’s network…”

“Who?” Ye Fan’s body suddenly tensed, a terrifying and blood-chilling aura emanating from him as the surrounding air plummeted to freezing; his eyes, cold and unfeeling, shooting out a frightening chill.

“Have you found out who it is?”

It had been months, and that person had finally lost patience.

Mo Shang replied, “We’ve found out.

It’s Lorne Blakey, the Clan Leader of the Blackie family from the United States.

This time, he’s raised the bounty to an astonishing one billion US dollars.

Just half an hour ago, Caesar, the top-ranked assassin in the world, accepted the job.”

“Caesar?” Ye Fan couldn’t help but frown.

Among the many assassins on the global hit list, he usually didn’t take much notice, but the top assassin Caesar did give him some concern.

Caesar’s identity was extremely mysterious; no one knew which country he was from, nor did they know whether his skin was white, yellow, or black.

Not to mention knowing his personality or appearance.

Unlike many assassins on the hit list who had a team behind them, Caesar worked alone.

However, he had never failed in any of the universally acknowledged difficult assassination missions he had taken on.

The unknown is always the most terrifying.

Although Ye Fan was confident in himself, he wasn’t arrogant enough to believe he was invincible in this world.

Mo Shang said, “Yes!

Caesar is extremely dangerous.

If five stars represents a full rating in the global assassin rankings, then his rating would be above seven stars, which means he is more dangerous than all the other assassins on the hit list put together.”

“I suggest you immediately return to the Dragon Group base to lay low for a bit.

Caesar has one characteristic; once he accepts a mission, he must complete it within three months.

Lure Caesar to the Dragon Group base and ambush him there.”

“Hiding and skulking is not my style, let’s drop this idea,” Ye Fan said.

“A moment ago, you mentioned a bounty on me by someone named what, Lorne something?

What grudge do I have with him that he would spend a billion US dollars to take my life?”

“It’s Lorne Blakey,” Mo Shang said.

“I’ve infiltrated the United States Federal Information Base, as well as hacked into the Blakey family and Lorne Blakey’s computers.

I found out that this Lorne Blakey is the father of Jack Blessing, the deputy leader of the Blazing Angel Mercenary Group, which our Dragon Group wiped out in Africa last November.”

“Turns out it’s related to that bunch of scumbags from the Blazing Angel Mercenary Group!” Ye Fan said chillingly, “Gather all the information on Lorne Blakey immediately.

I’ll personally go to the United States and take him out.

Without a financier, the bounty offer will collapse.”

He remembered the Blazing Angel Mercenary Group well.

Composed of Caucasians and Africans, they specifically targeted Chinese nationals making a living in Africa, kidnapping and killing many ordinary Chinese workers, causing chaos and disruption to China’s projects in Africa.

Especially in certain mining accidents, their involvement was often present.

Last year, after half a year of planning and under his direct leadership, he had wiped out the Blazing Angel Mercenary Group in one fell swoop, annihilating them all on the spot.

However, Mo Shang said, “Boss, you can’t go to the United States.

Based on the information I’ve gathered about Lorne Blakey, it’s very likely a trap.”

“Eh?” Ye Fan asked, puzzled, “Tell me more.”

“Lorne Blakey might truly despise you to the bone, but he doesn’t have a billion dollars in personal assets.

Besides, despite Jack Blessing being his only legitimate son, he has three other illegitimate children.

From the information I’ve gathered, Lorne Blakey isn’t very affectionate—in fact, he’s rather mean.

So, I deduce that Lorne Blakey wouldn’t go bankrupt and into debt for revenge just because of one son…”

Ye Fan frowned and said, “Are you suggesting that Lorne Blakey’s bounty might have been orchestrated by the CIA?”

“Not just the CIA, the FBI might also be involved,” Mo Shang said.

“The purpose is to lure and kill you.”

Ye Fan pondered deeply.

Mo Shang continued, “These years, due to our country’s efforts in Africa and your effective leadership, the Dragon Group has suppressed and squeezed out many forces on the African continent.

And you have long been a thorn in the side of many forces, who would eagerly eliminate you.

So, boss, you must not go to the United States.”

“No, I must go to the United States.

If I shrink back now, I fear that those forces in Africa and the Middle East, which we have deterred, will start getting presumptuous again!” Ye Fan said with a determined expression and a murderous look in his eyes, “Gather as much information on Lorne Blakey as possible.

I will set out in three days.”

Indeed, having the Clan Leader’s head repeatedly offered for a bounty on the global assassin’s network while Ye Fan himself could only shrink within the Dragon Group base, the news would imply that the Dragon Group cannot suppress the many forces more ferocious than jackals, wolves, and leopards.

Therefore, Lorne Blakey must die!

“Yes!” Mo Shang responded.
