After receiving Scorpion's reply, Li Jia immediately considered the seriousness of the matter. Scorpion said in the text message that the buyer of the Hanmoli family's transaction was very likely an organization similar to the Amazon Death Kiss, otherwise the location would not have been chosen to be the remote Colombian island of Gorgona.
The island is publicly declared a military restricted area. Over 95% of the long, narrow island is covered in green vegetation, with several peaks nearly 100 meters high scattered across it. The waters surrounding Gorgona Island are an absolute military restricted area.
These basic pieces of information gave Li Jia a sense that this transaction was unusual. Before the news was 100% confirmed, Li Jia still had some channels he could use, such as Chief Hai Rui.
"Chief, I think you've already started the operation, right? Here's another piece of free information for you: this buyer is extremely powerful. I suggest you notify everyone you can, including Interpol. Also, isn't the Colombian police not very cooperative?" Li Jia asked casually while holding the phone, but Chief Hai Rui on the other end of the line seemed to trust Li Jia quite a bit.
"You're absolutely right. According to our intelligence, the buyer this time is very likely that legendary Viper Training Base in the Amazon rainforest, specializing in training assassins and spies. If it really is them, then we're in for a tough fight! However, as for how to proceed, I have my own principles. So, thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Li!" Out of consideration for Li Jia's past assistance, Chief Hai Rui politely reminded Li Jia; otherwise, he probably would have already ignored Li Jia's call. Reaching this position requires considerable ability, and capable people often don't like to listen to others' advice.
Li Jia smiled as she looked at the phone that had already been hung up. Hai Rui's last words made Li Jia nod slightly, "Although very polite, he didn't lose his dignity. Not bad! As long as it's not the Kiss of Death, that's good. Viper? I don't think I've heard of such a base before. Is it newly established?"
It's unclear what Li Jia meant by "very good," whether it refers to Hai Rui's actions or a viper training base.
Li Jiadi's guess about the Viper Training Base was correct. It was a newly established base, and one that appeared suddenly in a short period of time, but its name quickly came into the sights of police forces around the world. However, so far, no one knows who is controlling its operation behind the scenes.
"Since it's a newly established base, those kids should have some insider information." With that thought, Li Jia logged onto the internet on her phone and sent an email. She quickly received a reply, but looking at the information on her phone, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"God of Slaughter, I'm sorry. We only have this much information about the Viper Training Base. In other words, even we few people can't figure out what's behind this base. We went to great lengths to get this most basic data from the police."
"They can't even figure out these guys? Could it really be a force behind the military?" Li Jia made various judgments in his mind once again. Even after the plane took off, made several transfers, and finally arrived in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, Li Jia kept thinking and considering.
"Brother Wang, I hope my judgment was right this time!" Li Jia lay on the bed in a hotel in Bogota, needing some rest to relieve her fatigue after the long flight.
Since Wang Qiang led his team here on his own, Li Jia had no way to contact him. She would have to go there in person on the day of the transaction.
Waiting always makes time pass slowly. When Li Jia arrived in Santa Barbara, the coastal city closest to Gorgona Island, a few days in advance, the beautiful city made time pass a little faster. Because there are countless leisure places here, time always seems to slip away faster without you even realizing it.
Gorgona Island, long and narrow like a sweet potato, is completely covered by dense jungle. There are no fishing boats or tourist vessels around the island, as it's a restricted area. However, even restricted areas have their times of openness, like now!
A luxury cruise ship appeared before Li Jia, unmarked and resembling a newly purchased vessel. Meanwhile, in a small harbor on the island, heavily armed soldiers were stationed, and as Li Jia infiltrated the island, hunters who had been lying in wait appeared around the cruise ship.
Whether it was the police or others, a fierce battle was unfolding under the cover of night. Bullets flew everywhere, and screams echoed from the cruise ship. Li Jia, like a black panther in the dark, quietly lurked in the distance, watching the somewhat strange battle scene ahead.
The battle just now was too sudden. Before anyone could understand what was happening, gunfire had already begun. The fighting only stopped when several Apache helicopters appeared over the cruise ship. Li Jia was somewhat confused by the whole process. However, wearing infrared night vision goggles, Li Jia found Chief Inspector Hai Rui in the crowd. Hai Rui was clutching his arm, clearly injured in the battle.
Finally, the cruise ship changed course, with several armed helicopters providing aerial escort and protection as it left the island. The entire process took only an hour. After the cruise ship departed, Gorgona Island fell silent once again, but Li Jia had a premonition that the whole thing had gone too smoothly!
Just as Li Jia was pondering what was wrong, another small tour boat approached from a distance. The searchlight on the boat flickered on and off a dozen times, and suddenly a beam of light shone from the mountain, shining directly on the approaching tour boat.
