"Ha ha, what a joke. I'm just a mere businessman; how could I possibly have such things?" Gold Tooth said, wiping the sweat from his forehead while forcing a laugh at the unexpected guest casually leaning against the wall.
The items the other party demanded were something he had secretly prepared for his own escape, known only to his most trusted confidants.
If it weren't absolutely necessary, Gold Tooth had planned to keep this information to himself. However, being directly confronted with it was a huge shock to his heart.
Could it be that one of his trusted subordinates had betrayed him?
The thought made sweat uncontrollably bead on Gold Tooth's forehead. If this information got out, he would likely face utter disaster. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
Yang Xiaoyou, who had been closely observing the other’s emotions, chuckled lightly upon noticing the change. "I only want the items; your intentions behind collecting them are none of my concern."
Although this fellow appeared submissive, Yang Xiaoyou remembered that when he first arrived here, this unremarkable individual had stirred quite a commotion.
The reason was that this fellow served the global shipping giant afb and was stationed in Jinlan City. He had been secretly recording the ship numbers entering and leaving Golden Bay and estimating their cargo.
The faction he served had left him as a pawn here to facilitate smuggling operations and the transfer of sensitive goods. Thus, Gold Tooth's infiltration into the port was quite significant. The intelligence he continuously gathered might seem trivial on its own.
However, if all this accumulated information were to be exposed, it would create a scandal that neither local powers nor his own faction would tolerate.
This fellow had once been cornered from all sides due to leaked information, with all local forces—including those from Moscow Hotel—participating in the hunt for him. Even the boss supporting him had sent people to take over his original faction and join in the search.
Yet, in such an environment, this fellow managed to escape successfully, clearly having prepared an exit strategy long before.
Just from this point alone, it was evident that this seemingly unremarkable Gold Tooth was far from simple.
Gold Tooth, who seemed to have made up his mind about something, felt a flicker of hope in his heart after hearing Yang Xiaoyou's words. Perhaps there was still a chance for a turnaround.
Recalling the information he had just received from his subordinate, it seemed another force wanted to take advantage of Moscow Hotel's influence to insert itself into the situation.
The timing made Heart immediately recognize the other party's background.
If they also wanted to establish a foothold in this area, sharing intelligence with them didn't seem like a bad idea. Having another person to share the pressure when exposed in the future could be beneficial.
Eating alone wouldn't lead to prosperity. With this shared secret as a catalyst, there might even be potential for deeper cooperation.
Seeing the contemplative expression on the other person's face, Yang Xiaoyou felt a strange flicker of understanding beneath his helmet. He had an inkling of what they were thinking. This proactive approach was not just about sensitive information; it was also about pulling in a temporary ally while he was still finding his footing. The branch office of AFB Defense Company here directly employed Mercenary groups, and the agreements signed were defensive in nature, making it unrealistic to expect them to exert significant effort in this Aspects.
However, Hive Security Company itself was not lacking in combat capability; what they needed now was merely to leverage the other party's influence in other Aspects.
As for the negative impacts brought by that information, Yang Xiaoyou had his own ways of handling it.
After securing the USB drive, Yang Xiaoyou left A Yang's office through the window and disappeared from sight with a few agile leaps.
“Although AFB Company is not at the top among several forces in Cam Ranh, its responsible person's smooth handling of affairs means their influence is not negligible. Relying on him to help alleviate pressure is clearly unrealistic, but having him speak up a bit while I hold the Advantage shouldn't be a problem,” Yang Xiaoyou thought as he changed outfits.
Upon arriving at Cam Ranh, he had already dragged one party into trouble, achieving his expected results. Now it was just a matter of seeing what choice Moscow Hotel would make.
If they chose to compromise, he could swiftly eliminate the remaining forces of the Vietnamese Gang, making it an easy task against a severely weakened opponent.
However, if that group of Polar Bears wanted to escalate matters, then risks would have to be taken on his side. Approaching Moscow Hotel directly could easily provoke distrust and opposition from Both Sides. It would be better to observe their actions first; then it would be easier to negotiate as a newly established force.
Just as he finished thinking, Yang Xiaoyou propped himself against the eaves and leaped downwards. As he turned mid-fall, he glanced towards a certain direction.
On the top floor of Moscow Hotel, a woman with severe burn marks on her face and chest had just withdrawn her gaze from outside. It seemed that someone remarkable had passed by earlier, but it wouldn’t affect her plans.
“Captain, while preparing for negotiations, our people are ready. Just say the word, and we can take them all out at once,” said a rugged man dressed in old-fashioned Soviet military attire, standing respectfully before the desk.
“Don’t act recklessly. Many people here are merely responsible personnel stationed at this location. Such actions will only provoke their full backlash. Although I trust your capabilities, there’s no need for unnecessary sacrifices. However, don’t waste concentrated power; after negotiations, we’ll launch a full-scale sweep against the remaining forces of those Vietnamese Gangsters,” reprimanded the Scarred Woman, who had just withdrawn her gaze.
Given the sensitive nature of this location, maintaining this fragmented state among various factions was the most realistic approach; otherwise, all efforts might end up benefiting others instead.
"Yes." After hearing the woman's words, the burly Military Man did not offer any explanation and simply complied with the arrangement.
"This is the meaning; regardless of what choice the other party makes, all we need to do is to take down the target in the shortest time possible. I believe with your strength, it won't be a problem no matter who the target is. At that time, Mr. Mo will be responsible for the overall strategy, while I will lead the team for a direct assault." Yang Xiaoyou informed Mo Wenfu through a satellite phone that they were almost ready to take action.
Having received information from Gold Tooth, they also learned the specific time for their negotiations. Regardless of the outcome, it would be time for them to act.
Yang Xiaoyou understood his own strengths and weaknesses. In terms of simple scenario simulation and precise range calculations, he had an advantage that others could not match. However, when it came to tactical control and division of forces, Mo Wenfu far surpassed him in both experience and capability.
"Haha, no problem! I never expected that in my lifetime I would get to spar with this group of 'old buddies' again. It truly brings back memories," Mo Wenfu's words revealed a hint of excitement.
The Vietnam War had been his personal stage; now back on this land, although on a much smaller scale, it stirred up many memories for him.
After making some simple arrangements on that end, Yang Xiaoyou stepped out from the dark alley and tidied his clothes before heading toward the inn where he was staying.
Just as he walked past, he noticed a familiar old car parked at the entrance and saw several fellows who gave him quite a headache.
If he remembered correctly, the girl who was complaining to her companions was the same one who almost shot him when he borrowed her car. Although he had only caught a glimpse of her through the rearview mirror at that time, she had left quite an impression on him.
Aside from her, there was another unexpected trouble that Yang Xiaoyou could not have anticipated appearing here.
