"There was nothing in the car except a communication tool."
"Understood." John listened to his subordinate's report, then turned to Mona in the car and said, "Confirmed, they are there. What should we do now?"
John still needs to consult Mona's opinion, although it's also possible for him to lead his group and sweep through the area.
He and his mercenaries were capable of this, but there was one problem: he couldn't confirm whether the rest area had any large equipment.
This is what makes John hesitate; the big thing in his mind is not some ordinary cannonball.
The most representative example is the tank; that is the standard by which it is measured.
This kind of equipment is generally owned by mid-level mercenaries, since it is expensive and requires frequent maintenance, so ordinary mercenary groups cannot possess it for a long time.
People like Wu Hao, who are based in a certain location, usually use such large equipment at their strongholds.
Ultimately, it all comes down to safety, and whether it's one vehicle or multiple vehicles, it's not a good solution.
Mona sat in the car, her mind filled with the image of Luo Chen cutting off her arm, completely oblivious to what John was saying outside.
Her current idea is to wipe out Luo Chen and his group in one fell swoop; that is her ultimate goal.
“Kill them.”
After a long silence, Mona finally spoke her first words.
John stared at Mona for a moment, then without much hesitation, turned and walked away.
"Have you found out who the people at this rest stop are?"
A mercenary carrying a laptop walked over, placed it in front of John, and said, "Boss, this guy is an Asian, but his ancestors came here a long time ago. They used to run a barbecue restaurant, and now they own this rest stop. His name is Wu Hao. The information on the laptop shows that he is an extremely stingy and money-loving person."
"Love of money?" John's eyes lit up, and he grasped the key word perfectly, which was the most important thing.
What does it mean when someone loves money? It means that this person has been largely brainwashed by money, or rather, has submitted to it.
Such people can be easily manipulated, so John thought it was worth a try.
It's certainly not a problem for so many of them to go to the rest area, but sometimes the cost is the most important thing.
Mona is John's sister, but John is also in charge of the mercenary group's management, and he has an even more important mission: to capture Mu Shanhai.
"Is it possible to get in touch with them?"
The mercenary nodded, then typed on the computer. After a short while, he said to John, "It's done."
He then handed the headphones connected to the computer to John.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
John chuckled softly. He was indeed a businessman; even the people answering the phone were such lovely young women.
"Help me find Wu Hao."
"Excuse me, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
“You have a license plate number… He’s already been killed by me, so can you go and call Wu Hao now?” John didn’t waste his breath and said quickly.
Meanwhile, in the basement of the villa at the rest stop.
The short-haired woman ripped off her headphones and said to Lina behind her with a very serious expression, "Lina, go report to the boss immediately. Johnny has been discovered and confirmed dead. He wants to communicate with the boss now."
Lina suddenly stood up, glanced at the short-haired woman, and hurriedly ran outside.
Wu Hao was holding a skewer of meat in one hand and a jar of seasoning in the other, showing off his culinary skills with a joyful expression.
"Xiao, try my grilled beef. I believe that after you eat it, you will be amazed at how delicious barbecue is in this world."
Just then, Lina rushed over from the side, her face covered in sweat.
Wu Hao glanced at Lina and immediately laughed, "You really are a glutton. You can come all this way just by smelling the aroma. Don't rush, just wait a bit..."
But before Wu Hao could finish speaking, Lina interrupted him.
"Boss, something's happened."
"What's wrong? Is our machine broken again?" Wu Hao remained nonchalant, perhaps because he was used to Lina's usual attitude.
“Johnny, it’s Johnny.”
Suddenly, Wu Hao stopped moving his hands, slowly turned his head to look at Lina, and found that the expression on her face seemed to be true. He then turned back to look at Luo Chen and the others.
"Commander Wu, you go ahead if you need to. I'll grill some for you and save some for you later," Luo Chen said with a smile as he stepped forward and took the meat skewers from Wu Hao's hands.
Wu Hao nodded slightly and quickly left with Lina.
"Lina, what happened?"
"I don't know. We received a call from the other end saying that Johnny has been killed, and they need you to answer the phone now."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hao clenched his fists, his already gloomy face becoming even colder.
"How about it?"
The short-haired woman quickly said, "Boss, the other end wants you to answer the phone, that's all."
Wu Hao nodded slightly, gesturing for the others to leave. Then, he picked up his earpiece and spoke into the microphone, "Are you there? Should I address you as Madam or Sir?"
On the other end of the phone, John smiled as he listened to the voice coming through the earpiece. No wonder he'd been in charge of this place for so long; he was so calm and collected.
"Mr. Wu, hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is John."
"Why did you kill my people? You know this will provoke my retaliation, so what makes you so fearless?"
"No, Mr. Wu, I didn't kill him. In other words, I just eliminated him. As a mercenary responsible for reconnaissance, he was discovered by my people. Don't you think such a person is very unsuitable to be your subordinate? So I'm helping you eliminate unqualified people."
"Hehe, I'm sure you didn't just call to talk about this, so get straight to the point and don't waste time." Wu Hao clearly knew who was on the other end of the line. He clenched his right fist and pressed it on the table, trying his best to control his emotions.
As the boss here, everyone here is like his friend. His subordinate was killed, and the other party is still provoking him like this. How could Wu Hao remain calm? But as the boss, he has to maintain this kind of emotion.
“Oh, well, it’s really hard to talk to smart people. You guys always start with fluff and frivolous talk before getting down to business,” John chuckled, completely disregarding Wu Hao. He continued, “I believe you know why I did this, and why you sent people to follow us. I can pay you a large sum of money to hand them over, or just stop interfering with us, okay?”
Hearing the other party's provocative words, Wu Hao's face grew increasingly grim. He couldn't accept that his teammate had been killed just like that.
And now, the other party wants to cooperate with him.
"It's true that I, Wu Hao, like money, but I won't risk my brothers' lives for it. I do like to cheat people, but I would never make money this way. Besides, my rule here is that as long as you pay me, you're responsible for my protection. Either they leave, or you can come in if you dare."
"By the way, sir, I have another piece of advice for you: I am not here to find you now."
