"Are you kidding me?" Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but twitch his lips at the brief content that had just been sent. Last time, due to issues with material transactions, Luo Guohui was clearly aware that Yang Xiaoyou was now working for Hive Security Company.
Especially since he himself was directly involved in Kapa City, he was well aware of the circumstances at that time. If Hive Security Company had rescued Yang Xiaoyou during that incident, it would be an easy explanation for his involvement.
Receiving a related task and discovering it might be connected to Luo Guohui, he even took the time to inquire, 'seeking opinions,' which actually seemed to give face to Luo Guohui.
In the future, even if something really happened, Yang Xiaoyou could easily find an appropriate excuse, such as "I gave up after knowing you were involved," to handle it. After all, if it were done secretly, there would be no reason to ask questions or engage in such a reckless act.
Therefore, when he started contacting him, Yang Xiaoyou felt no psychological pressure. His main goal was to confirm Luo Guohui's specific location and understand how much importance he placed on Revy. He also wanted to know what kind of relationship Revy had with him and why she hadn’t escaped despite having no constraints and not even providing contact information.
Without a doubt, the objective of this email had been completely achieved.
Although Luo Guohui kept his location confidential, it was precisely because of this secrecy that Yang Xiaoyou could ascertain he was not at the consulate or even in the Chinese Empire. The brief content and the added note about being 'busy' suggested he was likely engaged in some mission.
It seemed that contacting him was also one of his expected tasks, so he made time for it.
But none of this was the key issue or what made Yang Xiaoyou feel frustrated.
What left him speechless was that Luo Guohui's brief reply clearly indicated that Revy was actually his long-lost sister.
He remembered that before their meeting regarding the mech data, Yang Xiaoyou had talked quite a bit with Luo Guohui, including some details about his mother and sister.
At that time, due to the instigation and turmoil caused by Britain in the relationship between China and the United States, coupled with the competitive nature of both sides, the treatment of Chinese Americans was at one of its most difficult periods.
During that time, Luo Guohui's mother and sister were among the first batch of Chinese people to be expelled from the country. They were exiled to various Southeast Asian nations.
This reason likely fueled Luo Guohui's determination to make a change, and he had never given up on searching for them over the years.
However, in Yang Xiaoyou's memory, until Luo Guohui's death, he had never heard that he found his sister. Yet now, due to his own involvement, such a Butterfly Effect had occurred.
It was perhaps because of the chain reaction triggered by his actions in Cam Ranh that he unexpectedly achieved his goal.
Upon receiving this completely unexpected news, Yang Xiaoyou found himself at a loss for words.
To be honest, after initially confirming that the target might be Luo Guohui, the killing machine, Yang Xiaoyou genuinely considered retreating temporarily.
After all, aside from the brief period of merging forces, the pressure he felt against Luo Guohui was still overwhelming. During that short period of merging forces, ensuring his own safety was not a major issue, but saving someone—or protecting what he had already saved—would clearly be much more difficult.
Especially after their brief encounter, Luo Guohui would undoubtedly have a deep impression of Yang Xiaoyou's previous full-force attack. If they were to face each other again without merging forces, Luo Guohui would likely make targeted adjustments, making it even harder for Yang Xiaoyou.
During their last encounter, Yang Xiaoyou had sensed that the fellow hadn’t used his full strength.
Under such circumstances, it was necessary to make appropriate concessions; the costs and benefits simply did not match up.
However, after receiving such bizarre information, Yang Xiaoyou couldn’t help but break into a sweat.
No wonder they resorted to capturing someone in such a thankless manner. No wonder they knew that this group of companions might try to rescue and create trouble without eliminating future risks. No wonder they possessed such overwhelming strength to easily capture Revy.
If it was about a long-lost sister, then everything made sense.
As for why Revy hadn’t left on her own initiative, it was likely because she had reluctantly acknowledged this relationship. Additionally, she might have been worried that her companions would take risks to come and rescue her, bringing trouble upon themselves; hence she hadn’t made contact recently.
After sorting through the current issues in his heart, Yang Xiaoyou turned to Lin Min and shared what he knew. After all, he had agreed to help them mainly to recruit Duh and Revy. At this point, forcing a rescue seemed unnecessary.
The primary focus now was on how to deal with Luo Guohui effectively.
“No way!” Lin Min exclaimed as he was struck by this news, feeling dizzy. Having been integrated into the guild for some time now, he had noticed Revy’s past experiences; it seemed like a forbidden zone for her, and she must have been living quite unhappily.
Yet he never expected that she actually had an older brother who came looking for her. Moreover, that brother’s strength was terrifyingly powerful, and it turned out that this fellow even knew him.
"Well, what's the matter? Although our positions differ, Luo Guohui's words can still be trusted; he must have confirmed it," Yang Xiaoyou said somewhat indifferently.
Now the choice of what to do fell back on their own shoulders. Once they made their decision, they would weigh the costs and benefits before deciding whether to help.
Although they knew their opponent was that ruthless fellow Luo Guohui, the safety was not a major concern due to the bond between the siblings.
Even so, when handling this matter, he would likely have to continue using his current identity. Given the previous encounter, revealing Yi's identity would not be wise in front of Luo Guohui.
Striking the right balance in this situation was crucial; he couldn't act as recklessly as Yi had.
After receiving such significant news and with Yang Xiaoyou's confirmation, Lin Min brought their group to a place for recuperation, clarifying the situation with his remaining companions.
"Dark Night Reaper Luo Guohui, I know some information about this fellow. As my friend mentioned, while his strength is nearly beyond human limits, his character is reliable. As for his abilities, most of his opponents are already dead. Those who managed to escape tend to keep quiet about it, making it hard to know specifics. However, based on my investigations, he actively infiltrated Kapa City and successfully extracted important data after the virus outbreak. He is now a White House Correspondent specifically dealing with the H Virus and has a close personal relationship with the current United States President." Upon reaching Lin Min's temporary base, Benny, the blonde White Man responsible for intelligence, shared some information he knew.
To be honest, this fellow had a remarkably low presence—lower even than Lin Min's since he joined the guild later. Yet back when it was just Duh and Revy, he had already been their partner, clearly demonstrating his capabilities.
Yang Xiaoyou only knew this information from memory; the other party indeed had a knack for intelligence aspects. Their guild lacked an independent intelligence agency and wouldn’t buy such unprofitable information without reason.
The likely means of obtaining such information could be through hacking techniques via the internet.
After pinpointing this fellow's position in his mind, Yang Xiaoyou began to strategize. Honestly, aside from that somewhat eccentric police officer, every other member of their guild was top-notch talent.
They couldn't afford to miss any opportunity at hand.
"Since he's Revy's brother, we should find a chance to bring her out directly. He shouldn't make things too difficult for us. I know Revy well; if she has nothing to do, she'll go crazy. Otherwise, all the money we've earned over these years would be enough for us to live comfortably in a high-welfare country," Duh said thoughtfully while still bandaged up.
"It’s better not to storm the consulate. Given their relationship, it’s clear that girl will have opportunities to come out again. We can talk to her once she’s out; right now we still don’t know what her brother is thinking. It’s not convenient for me to ask too much," Yang Xiaoyou replied. Since he needed to maintain his true identity throughout this process, his approach would naturally be more gentle.
That group of terrorists wouldn’t care much about consequences; no matter how big a mess they made, they could just walk away. But he couldn’t afford that luxury now.
The matter ultimately remained under the control of Yang Xiaoyou. Whether it was gathering information or directly confirming with the other party later, it seemed straightforward, but if it were left to his group, it would undoubtedly be difficult to accomplish. Thus, they respected the opinions of the other side.
"My words have always been effective. No matter what method we use, as long as we can bring the person out, we will wholeheartedly join your side. It doesn't matter whether Revy wants to return to her old life or not," the black man with the bandaged arm reiterated his promise.
"Don't worry, the three of you together are the most in sync. Even after joining us, you will definitely remain a team. Your guild can also be preserved; just complete the tasks we assign," he heard this again, and a smile appeared on Yang Xiaoyou's face.
No matter how strong an individual's ability is, without the art of duplication, the speed of wealth creation would be limited. Since he had taken away that group of core members in the past, their growth and diversification had been key factors in the remarkable growth rate of Hive Security Company.
Now with such a well-coordinated Elite group added to the mix, along with their foundation in Cam Ranh, there might not be immediate advantages visible in the short term. However, over time, the profits and wealth generated would be far more valuable than signing a large contract; the sustainability of wealth creation would be much stronger.
Lin Min, standing nearby, couldn't help but show a constipated expression upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou mention "the three." Clearly, he felt completely ignored. With this thought in mind, a sense of competitiveness arose within him.
Having never captured this criminal before, if they were to work together in the same company in the future, he absolutely could not lose to him.
He couldn't help but wonder what expression his companions would have if they knew he had actively helped keep his "benefactor's" abilities a secret and that it had led to such strange thoughts among them.
Meanwhile, at the top of a building in a city in the Middle East, Luo Guohui held onto a rope from an armed helicopter while looking toward the east.
He had just received a notification advising against writing to the consulate... Egg Chrysanthemum was tense and made some last-minute changes.
