Chapter 726 - 765
In his own country, in his own city, and with his own forces at hand, Li Yifei was not one to remain passive. Since someone planned to make a move against Su Mengxin, he was set on rooting out these threats. A thief may go undetected for a thousand days, but guarding against one for that long proves much harder. Just one oversight could lead to irreparable consequences.
Although Brother Hu’s men weren’t exactly top-notch, they were the local snakes with the home-ground advantage. For them, finding people was easier, not to mention Li Yifei’s mercenaries, who were experts in this field. Compared to the regular police force, they were much stronger. Just like what happened during Heizi’s incident, it took them merely a day to effortlessly gather a pile of evidence against Heizi, evidence that the police would struggle to collect even in several years.
Within two days, Li Yifei had identified the individual who had infiltrated Su Mengxin’s room: not one but three Japanese men staying in a four-star hotel in Mile City.
Yet their background remained unknown. Their phone calls over the past few days consisted only of mundane matters. And acting like normal tourists, they spent their days sightseeing and their evenings entertaining themselves. They didn’t appear suspicious at first glance.
But to a trained eye, there were still flaws. The hotel they stayed at was close to where Su Mengxin was staying. Even though they seemed to be sightseeing, they mostly lingered around that area. Knowing the recent influx of foreigners in that area, especially from Asia, Li Yifei’s mercenaries could quickly confirm these three men as their targets.
Li Yifei did not want to spook them prematurely, as all three were skilled. To eliminate them all at once, they would need to deploy some tactics.
That evening, the three sat in their hotel room. They were notorious members of the Yamaguchi Group who had undergone strict training from a young age. Through meticulous selection, the Yamaguchi Group had bred truly skilled operatives, who usually weren’t tasked with missions unless they were critical. But whenever they did take action, failure was rare.
Yokohama Erya was the highest-ranked among the three and also the best fighter, in his forties, he had been the one to take action last time.
