Chapter 446: Declaring War on Brand
"Brand's forces suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Night Cat Squad. Brand reached out to Kasam for help, and Kasam also expressed his position, wanting the Chu Group's assistance to find the hiding location of the Night Cat Squad as quickly as possible and then eliminate them." Nami took out a tablet, opened the information on the Night Cat Squad, and said, "If the Chu Group can provide assistance, then Brand's side will definitely offer sufficient compensation as gratitude."
"What do you think?" Mengyao looked at Ye Fan, giving him the full authority to decide.
To be honest, if the Chu Group could establish some beneficial relations with Brand at this time, it's obviously advantageous without any harm.
Ye Fan's eyes locked onto the information about Shen Yaqing, and his heart trembled suddenly as he thought, "Isn't this Shen Yahut's sister, Shen Yaqing? Why is she here? How did she become a member of the Night Cat Squad?"
He never expected that Shen Yaqing, who had no clues, would appear in front of him at this moment, greatly surprising him.
If Shen Yaqing's identity were uncertain, she might indeed become an enemy, but now the situation is about to take a huge turn.
"Look at her." Ye Fan pointed out the photo of Shen Yaqing and said to Mengyao with deep meaning.
"That's her." Mengyao was stunned, a familiar name about to burst out, her heart also unsettled.
Having served as the personal secretary for several years, Mengyao naturally recognized this familiar face as none other than Shen Yaqing.
"This is Shen Yaqing, the second-in-command of the Night Cat Squad, second only to the leader Batu in influence." Nami vaguely sensed the strangeness in Ye Fan and Mengyao's expressions but didn't dwell on it, continuing on her own, "The Night Cat Squad has a place in the entire Asian underworld, gaining the apprehension of many forces with their skillful hacking techniques."
"Tell us about the latest news regarding Shen Yaqing and the Night Cat Squad." Ye Fan urged.
"Just received news that five members of the Night Cat Squad had a fight with Crocodile, a person under Brand, in a warehouse. Lu Si, one of the members, died in battle, and the other four escaped. However, one woman was seriously injured, estimated not to have escaped far, but hiding near the warehouse. Crocodile has already taken people to seal all routes, closely inspecting the hiding location of the Night Cat Squad." Nami explained.
"Who is the injured one?" Mengyao asked impatiently.
"Specific information is unknown, but it's guessable, either Shen Yaqing or another female member, as the Night Cat Squad only has two women." Nami inquired with confusion, "Mr. Ye, President Chu, something's off with your expressions, is there something wrong?"
"I hope the injured isn't Shen Yaqing." Mengyao whispered quietly, feeling immense pressure from the words 'seriously injured.'
"No need to worry too much." Ye Fan comforted Mengyao, staring at Nami, "Where is the battleground located? Find it for me."
"Ah, okay." Nami was startled and confused, becoming more concentrated, she quickly pulled out the location near the warehouse.
"The terrain here is complex, if hiding, it won't be easy to find." Ye Fan judged with some relief, saying to Nami, "Tell Kasam that we are intervening in Night Cat Squad's matter, but not as enemies, rather for rescue, hoping Kasam doesn't aid Brand at this time."
"Ah, why?" Nami was puzzled.
At this time, Du Xueqi and the other four women, along with Ku Eryue, gathered around Ye Fan, seeing the picture of Shen Yaqing.
"Is it her?" The women, surprised, directed all their gazes at Ye Fan and Mengyao, awaiting instructions.
Seeing Nami filled with countless doubts, Mengyao explained, "Shen Yaqing is the sister of my previous secretary; my secretary died in a murder. We must save Shen Yaqing; anyone blocking us is a direct enemy."
"Oh, I understand." Nami walked away to contact Kasam.
"Immediately issue a notice to Brand, telling him to abandon the pursuit of the Night Cat Squad. If he doesn't heed the warning, he is directly opposing us, and conflict without worry is inevitable. Additionally, instruct those near Crocodile to launch an attack, distracting Crocodile from searching for the Night Cat Squad. Du Xueqi and the other four women come with me immediately to the incident location to look for Shen Yaqing's whereabouts. Hopefully, it's not too late and nothing has gone wrong." Ye Fan issued a series of orders.
Ku Eryue and Nami remained with Mengyao for safety, which was not an issue at this moment. Besides, it was quite safe now, so there's no need to worry much.
Ye Fan and Du Xueqi, with the other four women, took a helicopter to the incident location.
This helicopter was deployed by Nami from Kasam's place after the Lone Wolf Mercenary Corps kidnapped Mengyao incident, parked nearby for convenience and ease of use.
As Ye Fan's orders went out, the entire situation in Ba Country trembled once again.
Especially the warning to Brand; it was issued publicly, making everyone startled and astonished.
"What is the Chu Group trying to do?"
"Do they want more than the current benefits and aim for an even larger territory?"
"Almost all legitimate businesses in Ba Country are in the hands of the Chu Group. Do they want to also encompass the arms business?"
"Should Brand dare to continue pursuing the Night Cat Squad, the Chu Group will declare war. Isn't this too overbearing, directly disregarding Brand? Is it because the Chu Group is behind the Night Cat Squad's multiple attacks on Brand to merge Brand's forces?"
One question after another filled the minds of all forces in Ba Country.
At this moment, the Chu Group was undoubtedly the leader in Ba Country's business world. Not only were business people constantly watching every move of the Chu Group, but others were also paying close attention.
"It seems the Chu Group isn't satisfied and wants to gain the most benefits." Many came to this conclusion after analysis.
No one knew why Ye Fan acted so decisively, and numerous speculations were naturally within reason.
The current Chu Group, even if Brand controlled the arms, would find itself in crisis when it comes to armed forces. Habson and Okamura Jiro are previous examples; in the face of high-end power, subordinate forces seem less significant.
