Long Yaoxuan only glanced at the number and quickly answered the call, "Boss Qi, what can I do for you?"
"Have you read the news?"
Long Yaoxuan didn't say anything, but gestured to the other three people in the box. Feng Xi stood up from the chair very smartly, then pulled Zhang Juan, and Lei Yunuo and the other two out of the box together.
After the door was closed, Long Yaoxuan said, "Is it about the incident where the joint investigation team to Country M was imprisoned by illegal armed forces, resulting in five deaths and eight injuries?"
"Yes! The news report isn't comprehensive. The truth is, the joint investigation team consists of five countries, including twenty-one from our country. We were originally scheduled to conclude our trip tomorrow, but for unknown reasons, we were attacked by terrorists at the end of the trip yesterday afternoon. Five members of the investigation team were killed on the spot, and over ten were injured. The injured narrowly escaped being kidnapped, but the remaining members have been detained in a nearby school, and they've threatened to kill one person at a time if they don't agree to their demands."
Long Yaoxuan couldn't help but frown: "What are their conditions?"
"We demand that the United States release Tucker Teriba, a key member of the Els group, who was captured a month ago. When the incident first occurred, the United States sent special forces to rescue the hostages, but unfortunately, the rescue failed and the special forces suffered heavy losses. The terrorists have already issued a warning that if anyone attacks again, they will massacre the hostages."
Long Yaoxuan said, "It seems these people are all members of Els. Is Tucker Teriba so important that all the Els members are willing to risk their lives?"
"According to the intelligence sent by Country M, Tucker Teriba is the brains of the Els Organization. Most of the organization's operations depend on him. Most importantly, he likely controls all of the Els Organization's funds, estimated to be over five billion US dollars. Despite such a long interrogation, Country M still hasn't found any clues to the source of that money. General Lime of the Els Organization and his men risked their lives, which is definitely related to this money."
Many people may not know much about the Els organization, but when it comes to its other name, the Black Hawk International Mercenaries, almost everyone in the dark world knows it.
The Black Hawk Mercenaries were originally a mercenary team organized by a retired soldier from Country Y code-named Black Hawk. At first, they could only take on the simplest bodyguard missions, but because of a special bodyguard mission, Black Hawk became famous in the mercenary world.
Eight years ago, the drug lord Horner from the Golden Triangle was going to deliver two tons of goods to the high seas for a transaction as agreed with the buyer. However, he had already provoked two extremely difficult enemies at that time. One was Cha Kun, the number one drug lord in the Golden Triangle, and the other was Zhuo Weiman, an arms lord from Country M.
Cha Kun was a ruthless person. At that time, his private army had reached more than 20,000 people. These 20,000 people referred to the elite troops. Due to his ruthless style of doing things and his great strength, almost no one in the Golden Triangle at that time dared to provoke him, otherwise his family would be destroyed and his life would be lost.
Compared to Chakun, Zhuo Weiman was a more sinister person. He would not easily get angry with others, but if someone accidentally offended him, Zhuo Weiman would plot to make that person's life worse than death, and he would not let anyone know the slightest clue afterwards.
Although Horner was the third largest force in the Golden Triangle, offending two such people at the same time made him unable to sleep at night, especially since the transaction time was just around the corner. He could imagine the tragic situation of losing both money and goods.
He was already exhausted from dealing with just one of them, and if the two of them really joined forces, he would just have to wait for death.
So on the fifth day before the transaction, he finally came up with an idea which was not very good, that is, to issue a task. Within five days, no matter which organization or individual, if anyone of Cha Kun or Zhuo Weiman was killed, the reward would be 10 million M gold. If both of them were killed, the reward would be 30 million M gold.
Unfortunately, these two people were people that no one dared to mess with at the time, and the time was too short, so no one dared to take on this task.
The Black Hawk Mercenaries have been established for more than a year. Although they have been carrying out missions, they have never been able to make a name for themselves in the mercenary world because the missions are simple. So when Black Hawk saw that no one dared to take this mission, he made a bold decision.
Five days later, a piece of news spread like wildfire in the mercenary and killer circles. The number one drug lord in the Golden Triangle and the arms tycoon Zhuo Weiman of Country M were both killed, and they were killed by the then unknown Black Hawk mercenary team.
No one knows how these two men died, and no one knows how Black Hawk completed this seemingly impossible task in five days, but everyone knows that no one can stop Black Hawk's fame!
After that, the number of Black Hawk members gradually increased. Tucker Jerriba and Lime joined the Black Hawk at that time.
Tucker Teriba, a citizen of Country X, is said to have been a special forces soldier. During his military service, his only sister was favored by a local official, but was killed because his sister refused to obey. After Tucker Teriba learned about this, he sneaked out of the army, found out everything, and killed all those who had participated in harming his sister. Naturally, he was arrested as a suspect.
But things always develop in unexpected ways. The local court ruled that there was insufficient evidence to prove that Tak Teriba had committed murder and acquitted him.
Tucker Teriba left the court with a faint smile and then disappeared in Country X.
Lime, a native of Country Y. It turns out that General Lime wasn't actually a general. Like Tucker Teriba, he was also a private. Tucker Teriba escaped from the army for his only sister and later retired from the barracks. Lime, on the other hand, was different. He was forced to be discharged from the army simply because he was diagnosed with a serious mental illness after repeatedly beating other soldiers and causing multiple injuries.
Black Hawk International Mercenaries have changed drastically since these two people joined. Less than a year later, Black Hawk died accidentally during a mission.
Tucker Jerriba became the brain of Black Hawk and controlled all of Black Hawk's funds. Lime, because of his tyranny, intimidated his subordinates and became the first general of Black Hawk, known as General Lime. The two cooperated tacitly and developed Black Hawk bigger and bigger, and the business they operated also increased. Two years ago, Black Hawk mercenaries withdrew from the mercenary world, and an organization called Els appeared in the underground world.
The Els Organization controlled the largest arms and drug trafficking network in Country M. It was notorious for its brutal methods and flamboyant style of doing things, so it was naturally blacklisted by the U.S. police and wanted by the M side. Because someone in the organization leaked the information, Tucker Teriba was accidentally arrested.
"You mean, this time the hostage rescue mission is given to us?" Long Yaoxuan asked.
