Upon arriving at the hotel, Quan Ye immediately dispatched people to search for Su Li's whereabouts.
However, the locator Su Li was carrying showed that it had disappeared in this area.
The border region is in chaos, with various factions stirring up trouble recently, and gunshots can be faintly heard at night.
The hotel where Quan Ye was staying was in a central location, which should have been a relatively safe area. However, as soon as it got dark, people on the street rushed home, and the streets were quiet and deserted.
"The situation here isn't good. We need to be careful when we come here to find someone, otherwise we'll get caught up in their local conflicts and it won't be easy to get out of there," Xu Ming said.
Quan Ye stood on the balcony, looking at the quiet and peaceful town. Beneath the calm surface, turbulent waves lurked, ready to swallow a person whole at any moment.
He turned and went back to his room to sit down, pondering, "Do you think it's possible that Su Li isn't here?"
"You mean, someone deliberately lured you here?"
"The collapse of Project X and Su Li's disappearance are not coincidences. Moreover, we previously discovered that the Song Group has some accounts that are traded through the black market on the border."
“Yes, so it’s Song Qinze trying to harm you again this time,” Xu Ming said. “We can still leave here in time, and they can’t do anything about it.”
"No, Su Li is still in their hands. Even if I leave now, I will still come back. He just wants to trap me in this trap."
Just then, Zhang Quan called, "Something's wrong! They've found our men's bodies up ahead!"
Upon hearing the news, Quan Ye immediately led his men to the scene.
The car stopped at the entrance of an alley, and he strode out wearing a trench coat and leather boots.
The bodyguards consciously moved aside to make way.
Two corpses lay on the ground.
Quan Ye put on gloves, and with his slender fingers lifted the white cloth. The person was already dead, with ligature marks on the neck.
His eyes turned slightly cold as he heavily placed the white cloth down.
Zhang Quan said angrily, "Master Quan, someone attacked us in the dark when we weren't paying attention. I'll take men and find them right now. This small border city actually dared to kill our people. It's utterly despicable."
Quan Ye stood up, took off his gloves, and threw them into the trash can next to him.
"The enemy is in the shadows while we are in the light. How are you going to find them?"
"But……"
"Give them a proper burial, then we'll leave."
Zhang Quan was still very resentful, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at the corpses of his two brothers lying on the ground.
Quan Ye noticed that he hadn't followed and said sternly, "If you also want to die here, then go ahead!"
Xu Ming said, "Stop thinking about it, listen to Master Quan, let's go quickly."
Zhang Quan was pulled away by the others.
Back at the hotel, Quan Ye lit a cigarette and slowly smoked it. He opened a laptop on the table and stared at it intently.
Xu Ming and Zhang Quan stood aside and waited for a long time, but he didn't say anything.
"Mr. Quan, what do we do next? We haven't found Miss Su, and our people have been attacked. This is a huge loss."
Zhang Quan couldn't help but mutter something to himself, then nudged his arm as if reminded by Xu Ming.
Quan Ye finished his cigarette, stubbed it out, pointed at the computer, and said, "Come and take a look."
The two immediately moved closer to take a closer look.
“I checked, and the most powerful person here right now is Mu Ge’s local organization. He has monopolized the black market trade in this area and is also selling all kinds of weapons and ammunition in private. He is the culprit behind the border unrest.”
Zhang Quan: "So, it was Brother Mu who attacked us from behind?"
Xu Ming: "It must be Song Qinze colluding with people on the border to try and harm us."
Quan Ye closed his laptop, a dark glint in his eyes. "If I don't accept Song Qinze's challenge, Su Li will be in danger."
