After a small interlude, Elder Xu's gaze turned serious.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Kid, your actions this time have really hurt the Guangming Hall, and you've ripped them off for so many elixirs. You need to be careful!"
In his opinion, Guangming Hall was not one to suffer in silence. Now that they had been tricked by Ye Cangtian, they would surely find any means possible to retaliate.
To this, Ye Cangtian smiled faintly and replied, "Heh, I'm actually afraid they won't come!"
Ye Cangtian had long wanted to eliminate these people, but unfortunately, they were like mice, hiding in and around the capital, making them impossible to find.
Now that he had tricked them out of elixirs, he could simply wait for them to come to him. He was waiting for them to come to him to seek revenge.
Perhaps this way, he could catch them all in one go.
Dada dada...
Just as Ye Cangtian was about to say something more, he heard footsteps approaching from behind.
Glancing over, Shangguan Yun walked over quickly.
Seeing Ye Cangtian there, he greeted him before hastily reporting to Elder Xu,
"Elder, we just received news that at three in the morning, members of Dragon Group Squad Four and Squad Six engaged with Guangming Hall in the southern and western regions of the capital."
"Squad Four and Squad Six suffered heavy losses, with six members dead, ten severely injured, and fifteen lightly injured. The captains of both squads were killed in action..."
Upon hearing this news, Elder Xu, who had been chatting and laughing with Ye Cangtian moments before, his face immediately turned grim.
The next moment, Elder Xu quickly asked, "What exactly happened? Squad Four and Squad Six had no prior operations, how did they encounter Guangming Hall?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Yun quickly replied, "According to information provided by the injured, this incident involved a homicide. After receiving the notification, both squads went to the scene to investigate, and then they encountered Guangming Hall..."
"Revenge! Naked revenge!"
Hearing this, Elder Xu immediately understood everything.
Ye Cangtian had wiped out many of their people last night and had also swindled some elixirs. Now, as dawn broke, he received this news, clearly indicating that the other party had laid a trap overnight and launched their retaliation.
After all, during the period of negotiations, to show sincerity, Guangming Hall would not arrange any operations, especially those targeting ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Elder Xu glanced at Ye Cangtian and said grimly, "Kid, it seems things are going to be troublesome."
"Mm."
Ye Cangtian nodded. Guangming Hall, enraged, had already begun to target ordinary people, using them to lure Dragon Group members into an ambush.
If this continued, not only would the casualties of Dragon Group members increase, but it would also cause panic among the public. This was no laughing matter!
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Elder Xu and said, "It is indeed tricky, but don't rush. Give me one day, and I will find them..."
"Brother, is that for real?"
"This is no joking matter!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yun was stunned. After all, Guangming Hall had been in China for so long. If Ye Cangtian had a way to find them, why would they have waited until now?
Therefore, he wanted to remind the other party to speak cautiously.
"Kid, you have a way already?"
On the other side, Elder Xu shot Shangguan Yun a glare, then turned his gaze to Ye Cangtian and inquired.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian slowly nodded and said, "I had previously informed Viper to investigate their information. He said it should be enough to find them within three days, and tomorrow is the deadline..."
In fact, Ye Cangtian wasn't relying solely on Viper.
Just moments ago, he had remembered someone: Hasar of Guangming Hall.
Ye Cangtian still held leverage over Hasar, but he wasn't sure if this leverage could still threaten Hasar.
For things he wasn't sure about, he couldn't just blurt them out.
Hearing this, Elder Xu and Shangguan Yun quieted down. With no good solutions at hand, they could only wait for news from Viper.
"Sir!"
Just then, a voice called out, and Secretary Liu walked over.
His face was very grim, indicating that he wouldn't bring any good news.
"What is it?" Elder Xu's gaze deepened, and he turned to ask.
"This is a USB drive received by the police station. After reviewing its contents, they directly submitted it to the Dragon Group..."
Secretary Liu stepped forward, placed the laptop in front of Elder Xu, and then pointed to the USB drive.
Hearing this, Elder Xu immediately took the computer and began to examine the files on the USB drive.
There were two videos.
Upon opening the first video, it showed a 24-hour convenience store.
In the dark of night, several foreigners in black clothes broke in and proceeded to beat and kick a female cashier.
It was worth noting that these individuals did not directly kill the female cashier but deliberately allowed her to call the police before attacking and killing her.
The scene then shifted to members of the Dragon Group arriving and engaging in a fierce fight with the assailants, ultimately being defeated and killed by them.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian, Elder Xu, and Shangguan Yun suddenly understood. This was the entire process of how Squad Four and Squad Six encountered their demise.
For a moment, the faces of the three turned extremely grim.
Killing was one thing, but now they had not only killed members of the Dragon Group but had also deliberately filmed high-definition videos and sent them over.
This was undoubtedly a blatant provocation to the Dragon Group.
Suppressing his anger, Elder Xu opened the second video.
The general content was similar to the previous one, except the location was different. At the end, a familiar figure appeared, which was the Deputy Commander of the Guangming Squad, Saladin.
He deliberately used this method to directly address Ye Cangtian and the Dragon Group.
"Ye Cangtian, I remember that blow you struck. I will repay you tenfold, a hundredfold, and make you die in agony!"
"And to the despicable and shameless Chinese forces, what we have done is just the beginning. In the future, it will only get more exciting. We promise to do our utmost to eliminate the Dragon Group, and perhaps we will even stir up the capital!"
"If you don't want such things to happen, there is a way. Hand over Ye Cangtian and those elixirs, and promise that Guangming Hall can freely enter and exit China's ruins!"
"However, these are all secondary for now. After we vent our anger, we will notify you separately..."
*Crack!*
Elder Xu endured listening to everything. When the video ended, he directly closed the laptop.
"Arrogant, too arrogant!"
Elder Xu's face turned red with anger. Since he took charge of Beijing's security, this was the first time he had suffered such humiliation. He truly felt extremely ashamed.
If he couldn't find the culprits, this incident would undoubtedly become the biggest stain on his life.
Thinking of this, Elder Xu looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Kid, I've never seen a mouse threaten a cat before. Today, I've learned something new! What do you think we should do about this?"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian glanced at the elder and uttered an extremely cold word, "Kill!"
"Good, I'll leave this to you! If you need any support, just ask. My only request is to reclaim the dignity China has lost!"
Elder Xu nodded and said.
As his voice fell, Shangguan Yun immediately came before Ye Cangtian, "Brother, count me in. I can't stand this!"
"Alright, but you must obey my every command and not act rashly." Seeing Shangguan Yun filled with righteous indignation, Ye Cangtian nodded and cautioned him.
Although his heart was also burning with anger, he remained very calm.
Shangguan Yun was only a Xuan-level master. Facing this crisis, his abilities were insufficient, and there was a certain degree of danger. Therefore, if he were to bring him along, he had to be extremely careful.
After Shangguan Yun acknowledged him, Ye Cangtian left the family compound with Shangguan Yun.
