Chapter 042: Intelligence Mismatch

Wei Er looked at the short man who was provoking him, but did not get angry. He said calmly, "Saito, you are right. You are Asian, and you are more suitable than I am to be the person in charge of Southeast Asia."

A trace of surprise couldn't help but appear on Saito's face. He had originally thought that Will would get angry at his provocation, but he never expected that Will would actually admit that he was more suitable than Saito to be the person in charge of Southeast Asia.

What is this guy up to?

Saito was puzzled.

Even the other two showed expressions of surprise.

This was not the Will they knew.

Will said leisurely, "Although you are more suitable than me, unfortunately, you are not as strong as me, Saito. Whether you are willing to admit it or not, our organization has always been about the capable rising to the top."

Ignoring Saito's dark expression, he continued, "Because I am stronger than you, it doesn't matter that you are more suitable than me, Saito. The world is just this cruel—suitability is not important; what matters is that the capable rise to the top."

Saito's forehead bulged with veins, and he was thoroughly enraged by these words. "Will, you're asking for death!"

Bang!

The next second, Will appeared before Saito like a ghost, punching him in the head.

The thick, powerful fist kept growing larger, larger, and larger in Saito's world.

The surging force of the punch blew Saito's hair straight back, his cheeks trembling against his own teeth. This punch was far too fast, too fast—so fast that Saito had no way to react.

When Will's fist was still one millimeter from Saito's brain, it stopped advancing. The surging wind from the punch slowly subsided, and Saito's flying hair settled back down.

For a moment, streams of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Will teasingly extended a finger and struck Saito's forehead.

Saito fell backward at the sound, landing heavily on the ground, and stared at Will in terror.

The other two exchanged a glance, their astonishment deepening. In truth, not only Saito but even they themselves had failed to react to that punch.

Will said with a smile, "Now, do you have anything to say, Saito?"

Saito opened his mouth, closed his eyes, slowly stood up, and lowered his head toward Will.

He admitted that Will was qualified to replace Guo as the head of Southeast Asia.

Will's gaze swept over the other two, who smiled faintly. The black man said, "When do we move, Captain?"

Will smiled with satisfaction, glanced at the gradually brightening sky, and said leisurely, "Just arrived in Hong Kong. First, find a place to stay, then inquire about Guo Wei's whereabouts, and be ready to act at any time."

"You're the captain, you call the shots."

……

After the chaos of last night, Wang Bo slept until nearly noon the next day before slowly waking up.

Opening his eyes, Wang Bo looked at the sun hanging high outside the window and let out a comfortable smile.

Waking up naturally without an alarm was undoubtedly Wang Bo's former dream.

And such a dream has long since been realized.

Besides this, Wang Bo had also realized another dream: facing the sea, with spring flowers in bloom.

Is there anything more pleasant than this in the world?

There is none left.

At this moment, Wang Bo felt he had reached the pinnacle of life. Of course, it would be even better if he had two naked beauties in his arms.

He stretched, appeared abruptly in the bathroom, washed his face, and then went to the dining room.

Two beauties of contrasting charms sat on the dining chairs, one in a cheongsam, the other in a police uniform, but neither the cheongsam nor the uniform could conceal their graceful and alluring figures.

Yazi crossed her legs, holding the latest fashion magazine in her hand, flipping through it seriously and nodding from time to time.

Chun Li, meanwhile, held a cup of coffee, staring blankly into space.

Wang Bo slapped his forehead and asked, "When did you two get here?"

"Of course, while you were sleeping." Yazi said as she flipped through the magazine.

“Why didn’t you tell me when you came?”

“Of course, I saw you sleeping so soundly that I couldn't disturb you.” Yazi said matter-of-factly.

Wang Bo: ...

He walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice-cold cola, twisted off the cap, took a sip, and let out a satisfied burp. "I feel like you two have already treated my home as your own, coming and going as you please."

"Isn't that good?" Yazi put down the magazine and looked at Wang Bo playfully. "Aren't you trying to get both of us? Now that we're offering ourselves up, you're unhappy?"

Wang Bo chuckled, too lazy to argue.

Do you two really have no idea in your hearts whether you came to me of your own accord or not?

Wang Bo pulled out a chair and sat down between the two women. He glanced at Chunli, who was staring blankly, then turned to Yazi and asked, "What's up with her? Why isn't she saying anything?"

Yazi sighed and said, "What else could it be? She's run into something she can't figure out, so she's gone a bit crazy."

"Something you can't figure out? What can't you figure out?"

"Is Guo Wei the person in charge of Hong Kong Island or Southeast Asia?"

"Who is Guo Wei?" Wang Bo asked.

Yazi explained, "It's a long story. It starts from last night."

“Last night? Weren't you meeting Taishan last night?”

"That's right. Last night, I disguised myself as you and went to see Taishan, and I hypnotized him. From his mouth, I learned who his supplier was—Guo Wei."

Yazi paused at this point, shifted his sitting posture, and continued, “Later we investigated and found out that Guo Wei was the owner of a seafood trading company. His business spanned across Southeast Asia. He hid drugs among the seafood and used this method to transport them to various places in Southeast Asia.”

"Afterwards, we seized about ten tons of drugs at Guo Wei's trading company. All of the above indicates that Guo Wei is very likely the person in charge of that mysterious drug trafficking organization in Southeast Asia."

"But Guo Wei's strength was very weak, which didn't match the situation of that organization."

Wang Bo couldn't help asking, 'What's the situation?'

Yazi said, "The upper echelons of that drug trafficking syndicate all possess formidable strength; the higher their status, the greater their power. If Guo Wei were truly the person in charge of Southeast Asia, his strength would inevitably be overwhelming."

"But yesterday, the Flying Dragon Team captured Guo Wei at the cost of just over twenty casualties. In terms of strength, he is likely only the person in charge of Hong Kong Island, and there should be a mastermind behind him."

"And this hidden hand is very likely the person in charge of Southeast Asia."

"But after several investigations, we found no trace of this mastermind; all evidence indicated that Guo Wei was the head of Southeast Asia, yet his strength severely contradicted the intelligence we had obtained."

"So Chunli fell into a logical paradox and ended up like this."
