Chapter 186 Uninvited Guests

He Shuangshuang shook her head, "I can't find anything. They are a mercenary group on a mission, which they took on the dark web. These people always do things for money and don't know who the employer is."

Ye Bufan was slightly startled and asked, "What's the situation with the dark web?"

He Shuangshuang said, "The dark web is a website for transactions in the underground world. Here, you can post missions with money, or you can accept missions posted by others.

There are no Laws here; the only exchange is money. As long as you can provide enough money, you can make anyone do anything for you, including murder and arson.

Cobra just said clearly that they took on the bounty mission on the dark web."

Ye Bufan frowned, "How much credibility do you think his words have?"

"I think it's completely credible," He Shuangshuang said, "The Cobra mercenary group has always been active in Southeast Asia and does not belong to anyone; they always just do things for money.

In fact, they are no different from assassins; they all work for money, except they are a group made up of multiple people."

Ye Bufan said somewhat unwillingly, "Then how did the other party pay them? Can we trace the identity of the other party through the transfer route?"

"That's also impossible," He Shuangshuang said, "We previously investigated a case related to the dark web and have a good understanding of this website.

No matter who posts a bounty mission on the dark web, they must first deposit the money into a specific account on the website. This process does not require any information, only the money, and the website is absolutely confidential.

If the deadline is reached and the mission is successfully executed, the dark web will directly transfer the money to the executing party and charge a 20% commission.

If the mission fails, the dark web will refund the money in full to the previous client."

"This is indeed a bit troublesome," Ye Bufan said, "Aren't those who transact on the dark web afraid that the website will embezzle their money?"

He Shuangshuang said, "The dark web is an organization of the underground world; there are no rules to speak of. Even if they embezzle all client funds, there are no restrictive measures.

But in fact, the dark web would not do this. The commissions they earn each year are an astronomical figure; they wouldn't destroy their own foundation. At least, there have been no cases of embezzling client funds found so far."

Ye Bufan thought for a moment and said, "Does the police have any other methods, such as invading their website through some special means?"

"Don't even think about it. The strength of the dark web is beyond your imagination."

He Shuangshuang said, "The M Country's CIA once offered a huge reward for 100 top hackers to cooperate with the country's power to launch an attack on the dark web's servers.

But they worked for half a month, not only failing to breach the servers, but not even causing the slightest impact. During this time, the dark web remained fully operational.

This attack not only failed to take down the dark web, but instead served as a resounding advertisement in the underground world. Since then, people have trusted the dark web even more."

Ye Bufan said, "If this mission fails, will the other party continue to post missions and hire other mercenary groups to target Chu Chu?"

This was his biggest concern. If they were constantly attacked by these mercenary groups, it would definitely be a very dangerous situation.

He Shuangshuang said, "It's hard to say; it depends on whether the other party continues to post missions. I just checked the dark web, and there are no such missions posted yet."

"Then we can only wait and see."

Although Ye Bufan disliked this feeling, he had no other choice. He said, "Give me the dark web address. I'll go check it out when I have time."

"Okay, I'll send it to you on my phone in a moment. However, the dark web is not something just anyone can log into. You have to register first, and the annual membership fee after registration is 1 million chinese yuan."

"Oh!"

Ye Bufan immediately understood. No wonder the dark web's strength was so formidable, capable of contending with the power of M Country. The annual membership registration fees alone were an astronomical figure, enough for them to do anything.

He left the criminal police team. It was already two o'clock in the morning. At this time, it was naturally not suitable for him to return to Zuijiangnan Restaurant. He drove alone towards Yunding Mountain Villa.

It was midnight, and everything was quiet in the night. There were few cars and pedestrians on the road. Soon, he arrived at Yunding Mountain Villa and drove towards the mountain top.

He had just gone halfway when he suddenly saw a figure moving rapidly towards the mountain top in the distance, followed closely by two other people.

They were all dressed in black, clearly the attire of night travelers.

All three of them were extremely fast; it seemed they had at least reached the Yellow Rank Great Perfection or Profound level initial stage.

Ye Bufan was slightly startled, seeing that the direction of those people was his No. 1 villa.

Having just experienced the Cobra mercenary group incident, were these people coming for him?

Thinking of this, he parked the pagani on a nearby green patch, got out of the car, and also used his light body Cultivation Technique to quietly rush towards the mountain top.

Although it was night, his vision was excellent, and he followed closely behind the three people from a distance.

After walking for a while, he realized that something seemed wrong. The person at the very front seemed to be fleeing for his life, while the two people behind were chasing him.

In other words, these three people were not together, but in their chase and escape, their direction was still his No. 1 villa.

Soon, the Black-Clothed Man at the very front climbed over the wall and directly entered his courtyard.

And just then, two more people rushed over, and the four of them completed the encirclement in the courtyard.

Ye Bufan also followed closely into the courtyard, but he did not immediately show himself. Instead, he found a dark place to hide.

The identities of these people were unknown; it was better to understand the situation first.

After hiding, he looked at the uninvited guests in the courtyard. The Black-Clothed Man surrounded in the center had a mask covering his face, making it impossible to see his appearance.

However, from her shapely figure, it could be seen that this was a woman.

The other four Black-Clothed Men surrounding her looked a bit strange. These people had no concealment on their faces, and their heads were completely bald.

Unlike other bald people, these four people's heads were truly bald, the kind without even a single pore.

Moreover, their eyes glowed with an eerie red light, and their whole demeanor was strange, as if they were venomous snakes ready to devour people.

After completing the encirclement, the leading Black-Clothed Man said, "Sima Wei, where do you think you're going to run this time?"

The woman called Sima Wei shouted, "At worst, we'll all perish together! Do you really think this old lady is afraid of you inhuman, ghost-like things?"

When she spoke, Ye Bufan was startled. Her voice was even rougher than a man's. Was it intentionally disguised, or was that just her natural voice?

He even suspected that he had misjudged her gender, but after repeated verification, she was indeed biologically a woman.

The Black-Clothed Man said, "What are you pretending for? You have the nerve to talk about us, you neither male nor female, aren't you also a monster?"

Sima Wei angrily said, "Bastards, who among you wants to die first?"

The Black-Clothed Man said, "Black Mamba, you first!"

"Yes!"

A darker-skinned Black-Clothed Man stepped out and rushed forward with a movement of his feet.

These people seemed to cooperate very well. The other three immediately formed a triangle, surrounding Sima Wei in the center, as if afraid she would run away.
