Chapter 969 Catch them all in one swoop
Without exception, all of those arrested were assassins.
Of course, not everyone was hired by Lao Niu or Hu Jinlong; most of them were there to join in the fun or to learn from industry veterans.
After all, the sudden appearance of a huge bounty in the Maldives, along with the presence of industry heavyweights, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The 1.5 billion bounty is the highest ever offered in the industry, naturally causing a huge stir.
Of course, among these people, whether they were invited by Lao Niu and Hu Jinlong or simply came to observe and learn, without exception, their situations were all under the control of the Wu family army.
Because Wu's old friend, in order to win Wu's favor, not only revealed all the relevant information to him, but even made a detailed list of how many people had infiltrated the Maldives and where they were staying.
When Wu Jiajun saw the list, he couldn't help but chuckle.
He never expected that Ji Xiuhan alone would attract so many people in the industry to come and watch, and even hunt him down.
Ji Xiuhan's head is really valuable.
However, Ji Xiuhan was someone he wanted to protect. Now that he had taken action, he had to ensure his safety and not allow him to be in any danger.
Therefore, whether these people are hired or come here voluntarily to join in the fun, they must all be apprehended or deported, leaving no potential security risks.
So he handed over the list, along with the hotels they were staying at, to Ji Xiuhan's bodyguards.
Ji Xiuhan's dozens of bodyguards were all dumbfounded when they saw the list.
Their CEO actually attracted so many assassins, more than fifty in total!
This scene is truly terrifying.
Therefore, apart from a group of people responsible for capturing Hu Jinlong, almost all the bodyguards went out to capture the assassins on the list.
They were already experienced in dealing with these assassins. Each time, they would work in groups, storm into the hotel, and take down the person cleanly and efficiently, giving them no chance to argue or resist.
All the bodyguards were former special forces soldiers. Although they were not experts in assassination, they were all top-notch fighters in hand-to-hand combat.
Therefore, in just two hours, almost everyone on the list was apprehended.
Of course, most of these people were just there to join in the fun. As instructed by Wu Jiajun, the bodyguards first locked them in a heavily guarded basement.
As the arrest operation was about to conclude, the bodyguards began to count the number of people. Soon, they discovered that one person was missing, and this person was crucial and had to be captured.
"How could he be missing?"
The one who escaped was named Qian Yao, an assassin hired by Lao Niu who nearly killed Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing at the bottom of the sea.
His partner, Zhao Long, was killed on the spot, but he wanted the money and had to die!
The bodyguards hated money to the core; their colleague, Li Ruiwu, died at the hands of these two men.
If Qian Yao doesn't die, Li Ruiwu will never rest in peace!
Meanwhile, in a dilapidated hotel far from A-dao Island, a person was hiding in a room with a panicked expression, constantly scrolling through his phone.
Everyone says assassins are fearless and ruthless, but that's all a lie!
Of all the things in life, death is the most difficult.
Everyone is afraid of death.
Ever since he narrowly escaped, Qian Yao has been filled with fear.
The mission failed, and his partner Zhao Long died. He didn't dare to see Lao Niu, fearing that the other party would take his life in a fit of anger, so he could only hide far away.
Not long after, news came from within that something had happened on A-Island again, with two top assassins killed.
Upon hearing this news, Qian Yao's heart leaped into his throat.
Those two super assassins, without a doubt, one was Lao Niu, the assassin Ren Tuo, and the other was Shangguan Fei, who ranked among the top three in the industry.
Even Lao Niu and Shangguan Fei failed, which terrified Qian Yao to the extreme, and he became increasingly wary of Ji Xiuhan.
He had made up his mind to escape the Maldives as soon as it was light.
But then, rumors spread that all the assassins who had infiltrated the area had been captured by Ji Xiuhan's bodyguards!
It seems that Ji Xiuhan holds a complete list of all the Maldives women.
Upon seeing this news, Qian Yao was both shocked and terrified. If Ji Xiuhan's bodyguards found him, he would surely die.
At this moment, his face was no longer the same; he was wearing a lifelike human skin mask.
Just as Qian was secretly rejoicing, footsteps and shouts suddenly came from outside the hotel. Soon, the footsteps stopped in front of his room door.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the door was kicked open, and five bodyguards rushed in instantly.
Or did they find out?
Qian Yao's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
But he still feigned extreme terror, asking, "Who...who are you people?"
At the same time, he secretly took out a slender silver needle, the tip of which shimmered with a soft light.
If he were recognized, he would have no choice but to take action and silence all the bodyguards.
The poison on this needle is deadly; it will kill on contact with blood!
However, just as he took out the poison needle, a gunshot rang out, and he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, causing the needle to fall to the ground.
A bloody hole was clearly visible on his wrist.
Without a doubt, his little trick was discovered, and he was hit with a single shot.
A piercing pain struck instantly, and Qian Yao's vision went black; he almost fainted.
He knew he couldn't escape it any longer; his identity was completely exposed, and he was doomed.
Without hesitation, he bit open the poison packet hidden in his lips, and in the blink of an eye, he vomited black blood and died on the spot.
"That bastard actually committed suicide too?"
The bodyguards originally wanted to capture Qian alive, interrogate him thoroughly, and uncover the mastermind behind him.
However, amidst their anger, the bodyguards also felt a certain admiration for these assassins.
Whether it's Lao Niu, Shangguan Fei, Hu Jinlong, or Qian Yao in front of them, these people do have some backbone.
If the scheme is exposed, he will immediately commit suicide and never reveal any information about his benefactor.
"asshole!"
Several bodyguards kicked Qian Yao's corpse several times, then put it in a sack and dragged it away.
"Have you heard? Something terrible has happened in the Maldives!"
"The infamous assassin Ren Tuo, who was renowned throughout the martial arts world more than 30 years ago, has been killed!"
"The Assassin Camel? You mean that hunchbacked Niu Guangming?"
"It's not just him! I heard that another top-five assassin also failed!"
"Who?"
"I heard it's Shangguan Fei! Shangguan Fei, who's ranked third!"
Now it's not just the two of them who've been caught; it's said that all the assassins who infiltrated Al Island have been wiped out in one fell swoop!
"So who was the target this time? Even two top experts couldn't handle him, yet he managed to wipe out all the assassins in one fell swoop?"
……
The entire industry was in an uproar, and everyone was talking about it!
