Chapter 259 The Mastermind

"Go back to your room immediately and prepare your weapons!" Li Jia said, throwing her phone into her pocket. The group then quickly left the restaurant.

Li Jia's phone had absolutely no signal! It's impossible for there to be no signal in the hotel's rooftop restaurant, because just ten minutes ago, her phone had full signal! There are only two possible reasons for this: first, there's a network dead zone at this location; second, someone has deliberately blocked the signal in a certain area!

Li Jia's judgment was the second one, because the whereabouts of the several people had likely been exposed. If what Li Jia had seen before was correct, then this matter was probably going to be very serious!

Back in their room, Li Jia and the others prepared their weapons. Since they were out of rifles, pistols were sufficient to handle basic emergencies. As for firearms, in this city surrounded by tropical jungles, it was easy to find any firepower you needed!

With Li Jia and the others, there were seven of them in total. After getting their weapons, they headed straight for the hotel entrance. The seven of them took an elevator, and just as the elevator doors were about to close, a dozen soldiers armed with M16s appeared at the door of the room where they had been staying. One of the soldiers kicked the door open without any politeness, and then the elevator doors closed. Li Feng and the others breathed a sigh of relief!

As Li Jia and the others left the hotel, Chief Inspector Hai Rui called again. "Mr. Li, I think I'm in trouble. The shocking kidnapping case we cracked—I think your initial guess was completely correct. Although we resolved the incident perfectly, the masterminds on both sides have not yet been caught. And now I've been notified by my superiors to transfer the case. Although my promotion order has been issued, I think I will be very regretful if this matter really ends like this!"

“Chief Hai Rui, I think it’s not just you who’s in trouble, I’m in trouble too. Viper and his gang have obviously used the military’s influence, they’re chasing us everywhere. If it’s convenient, could you send two cars to a suitable location?” Li Jia drew a very important conclusion from Chief Hai Rui’s words: this kidnapping case was carried out with the tacit approval of certain military forces. If that’s the case, then the only way to resolve it is to take action against the military!

After chatting with Hai Rui for a few more minutes, Li Jia hung up the phone. The night in Bogota was beautiful, but Li Jia and the others were not in the mood to appreciate it. Given the current situation, it would probably take some effort to leave safely!

"Let's find a way to get two cars. We'll go to Ivago first, then detour to Panama, and fly back to Florence from Panama. This is the fastest route right now. I don't think we'll have a chance to leave directly by plane within Colombia!" Li Jia was very familiar with the Colombian area and offered his opinion after a moment's thought.

No one objected, because although these people were skilled fighters, they were quite clueless about geography. They had never even heard of the city Li Jia mentioned. But by now, Li Jia had become their leader. If Li Jia said to go this way, then they would just follow!

"Let's get the cars first! There are seven of us, so we need two or even three cars. It'll be better if we split up. This time, our opponents aren't gangs, so we don't need much firepower to resist. We should avoid them if possible. Once we reach Panama safely, we'll be safe. I'll find a way to get this sorted out as soon as possible!" Li Jia glanced at the police cars passing by in the distance and said to the group with her head down.

"Okay! I'll go get the cars." One of Wang Qiang's henchmen said, leading his two other henchmen away. A short while later, three Jeeps, perfectly suited for long-distance travel, appeared before them. As the vehicles drove away, no one noticed that at the end of the street, a drunken man pulled out a brand-new cell phone, stared in the direction Li Jia and the others had disappeared, and began talking into the phone…
