Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger Chapter 284 - 282 Various Schemes

Mountain Eagle didn’t know why Li Chengji would willingly reveal her identity to him...

But he didn’t care. With soone who knew the ins and outs standing before him, he had to probe for the truth of the matter. Only by doing so, could he ensure that he wouldn’t make any errors in dealing with the subsequent events.

Looking into Li Chengji’s eyes, Mountain Eagle said in a deep voice, "Danet has a deal with Fayiz, he must have offered an irresistible offer to get the renowned Pirate King to assist him in his electoral campaign.

Danet is a well-known underground financier in Southeast Asia, possessing a lot of money, but not all of it is his.

If I were Fayiz, even if Danet was willing to give away shares of his underground bank, I wouldn’t go along with the crazy act of hijacking a cruise ship.

Even with the protection of the Asafiye Organization, I wouldn’t do it, because it would be too hard to ensure that the CIA and MI6 wouldn’t trace it back to .

To make cooperate, there must be so very tempting conditions, and the profit has to be substantial. Only then would I be interested."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle continued to gaze into Li Chengji’s eyes and said solemnly, "That one hundred million dollars in ransom?"

Li Chengji, hearing this, suddenly shook her head with a self-mocking smile and said, "Do you know how much money Fayiz has that he can’t spend?"

Mountain Eagle’s eyes suddenly lit up, as he said, "Does Fayiz want the cruise company?

Once the Diamond Queen has issues, the cruise company’s capital chain will break instantly, and he can use his unspendable money to save the company.

A large cruise company like this has plenty of channels and ans to launder hundreds of millions of black money, because once the ship enters international waters, the casino can operate.

Moreover, once the cruise company pays the one hundred million dollars in ransom, even if the insurance company agrees to compensate, Fayiz still gets one hundred million dollars for free, and that covers a significant portion of the acquisition funds.

If the cruise company refuses, their reputation would plumt, and their market value would decline, making Fayiz’s acquisition even smoother. And if the company operates well in the future and the market value rebounds, he stands to make even more from the flip.

This damn deal is a no-lose situation!"

Li Chengji looked at Mountain Eagle with an appreciative eye and nodded slightly, saying, "You’ve guessed quite accurately, but there’s one thing you don’t understand, which is that Fayiz is, in fact, a shareholder of the cruise company, he just never had the controlling interest before.

Many people in Southeast Asia know of Pirate King Fayiz, but very few know his real identity and appearance.

Like most of the Underworld’s top dogs, Fayiz longs for a legitimate industry that can generate sustainable profits and be inherited.

He is now ready to kick out the other shareholders, then take over as the owner of the cruise company.

Do you know how much black money a company like this can launder in a year?"

At this point, Mountain Eagle realized sothing. Frowning, he said, "Fayiz has the incentives provided by Danet, acquiring a large cruise company, plus one hundred million dollars in ransom; it does seem worth the risk.

But for soone at his level, does he really need to go against the CIA and MI6 over this?"

Li Chengji smiled, spreading her hands and said, "Firstly, outsiders will think that the Asafiye Organization is behind this, and secondly, soone like Fayiz must have acquired so bargaining chips that can make the CIA and MI6 back down."

Mountain Eagle instantly thought of the Joint Investigation Team’s office...

He quickly took out a satellite phone and sent a ssage to Taigore, telling him that the cruise problem was resolved, and instructed him to trap those terrorists by any ans necessary, and to keep the CIA from breaking in.

Then, scowling, he looked at Li Chengji, who seed to be an endless fountain of information, took a deep breath and said, "Miss Li, why are you disclosing so much sensitive information to a Thai police officer? What exactly do you want?"

Following that, Mountain Eagle looked into Li Chengji’s calm eyes, as placid as a lake’s surface, shook his head and said, "A secretary of the board for an organization as vast as the International Interdiary Company couldn’t possibly be hired from the job market...

Are you related to a mber of the board?

You’re revealing so much key information to ; am I right to assu that you’re outraged by Danet and Fayiz’s illicit maneuvers, and you want to use official power to strike against them?"

Li Chengji was taken aback for a mont, then after looking into Mountain Eagle’s eyes for a dozen seconds, suddenly burst into boisterous laughter and said, "No, what are you thinking?

Matters of competition should be a matter of life and death, and any ans is acceptable.

You saved my life, and I’m informing you of these matters only to remind you not to get involved.

Haha, your expression just now was so amusing!

What do you think a police officer could do in this situation?"

Mountain Eagle, looking at Li Chengji, jested, "I could bring you ashore, then hand you over to the CIA.

Right now, they’ve ford a Joint Investigation Team with the Thai Police, and Fayiz’s people, flying the flag of the Asafiye Organization, occupied the investigation team’s building, taking dozens of CIA and MI6 staff hostage.

If all this is about competing for the president’s position at the International Interdiary Company, I believe the CIA would be interested in you."

Li Chengji nonchalantly raised her hands and said, "You can arrest now and hand over to all the big shots you believe in, and in the end, you’ll find it all futile.

I told you my identity; I don’t mind if you exercise your police duty.

You saved my life, so you can hand over to the CIA or Thai officials, then we’re even.

Or you could heed my advice, and then I’d still owe you a favor."

With that, Li Chengji looked into Mountain Eagle’s eyes and smilingly said, "You’re not really a police officer, are you?

You’re a rcenary, which is why you act with such impunity!

Then you should be even more aware of what a favor from the secretary of the board of the International Interdiary Company signifies."

Mountain Eagle resolutely shook his head and said, "I’m not a rcenary, and if you co ashore with , I can show you my credentials."

Li Chengji waved her hand nonchalantly, walked over to the nightstand to pick up a handbag, and then with Mountain Eagle’s wary gaze on her, she took out a business card and handed it to Mountain Eagle...

"This is my business card. There will be a helicopter coming soon to pick up to Phuket Island. If you want to catch , feel free to call anyti.

However, I hope you will take to heart what I’ve just said. The competition at the International Interdiary Company is brutal, and it’s dangerous for anyone who gets involved.

You saved my life, and I hope you can live a little longer!"

Mountain Eagle looked down at the gold card that had only one phone number on it. He remained silent for a few seconds before finally nodding his head.

It wasn’t that he was intimidated by Li Chengji’s assertiveness, but rather that from start to finish, Li Chengji had shown no ill will, and she had answered many of the questions in his heart.

Including so details...

For example, why attack Samantha to threaten Taigore?

Why, if pirates had already been arranged, would they still need an assassin on board?

From Li Chengji’s attitude, Mountain Eagle could tell that she did not know the specific details and was only inferring Fayiz’s plans based on the outcos.

Although Mountain Eagle always felt Li Chengji had other ideas in mind, since she did not express them explicitly, there was no way for him to press for answers.

If this woman’s identity was genuine, forming a good relationship wouldn’t be bad.

Mountain Eagle nodded in agreent to Li Chengji’s advice, and then he curiously glanced at the assassin’s corpse on the balcony and asked, "Who exactly were they?"

Li Chengji sat on the sofa in the living room, lit a cigarette, took a drag, and said, "He is a professional assassin trained by the Songfeng Association from the island country...

The Songfeng Association never cooperates with the International Interdiary Company; instead, they accept missions through their channels. I don’t know much about them; they must’ve been hired by Danet.

You need to be careful; the Songfeng Association is very well-known in the assassin circles."

Mountain Eagle spread his hands and said, "So what, one assassin failed, and the others want revenge for him?

If that’s the case, they can hardly be called ’professional’!"

Li Chengji took another puff of her cigarette and, slowly blowing out the smoke while looking through a slight disdain at the confident Mountain Eagle, she nodded gently and said, "Perhaps you are right..."

Seeing that Li Chengji didn’t seem inclined to continue the conversation, Mountain Eagle took the initiative to leave the room, returning to the 5th floor...

He had to take care of the aftermath!

...

And just after Mountain Eagle left, Li Chengji finished her cigarette, walked to the balcony looking at the assassin’s body, took out her cellphone to snap a photo, and then took out a compact satellite phone...

After dialing, Li Chengji said with an icy tone, "This is Li Chengji. Arrange for a helicopter to pick up.

Also, an assassin from the Songfeng Association almost hurt . Activate Lao Huang’s and my Revenge Fund; those who kill our people must pay a price!"

".........."

After receiving an affirmative answer from the other end, Li Chengji spoke sternly, "Help check on a Thai Police nad Yue Shan, this guy is quite interesting; he reminds of my brother!"

".........."

Li Chengji looked at the distant sea and murmured softly, "No, it’s not that he looks like him, but that his aura is very similar.

Smart, decisive, ruthless, clear-minded; if Cheng Xuan were still alive today, he should be about his age..."

Saying this, Li Chengji shook her head with a self-mocking smile and said, "This can wait; I’m not in a hurry!

Notify the board of directors; we need to reconsider Danet’s CEO candidacy...

Once Danet withdraws, I can organize a vote, and those old fogeys can no longer refuse my request to beco CEO."

After hanging up the call, Li Chengji crossed her arms on the railing, looking at the distant early morning light with a smile curling at the corner of her mouth, she muttered to herself, "I originally wanted Lao Huang to be the frontman, but now Lao Huang is dead...

This ti you definitely can’t refuse ; I’m the most suitable person!"

...

Pattaya...

Taigore looked at Kate and her ard team behind her, grinding his teeth, and said, "How many more people are the CIA and MI6 hiding?

This is Thailand; why do you not show any respect!"

Kate looked at Taigore with an unpleasant expression, and said, "Director Paiseko, there are very important docunts and materials stored in the office. Those things are very important to us.

I know the cruise ship incident has put you under imnse pressure. You can have your people stand down and let our people attack.

These terrorists must die!

I will take responsibility for all the consequences..."

Just as Taigore was about to retort, his phone rang...

Seeing the ssage from Mountain Eagle on the screen, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he turned around and waved to his soldiers from the 191 unit, shouting, "Strengthen the blockade, clear out all unrelated personnel...

Rember to check their gun permits; if there’s any problem, lock them all up!"
