Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty-three: The Weili Race

"How are you feeling? Are you better now?" Li Yan broke the silence as he sat down.

Yue Yao shook her head, "Actually, I should be asking you... Are you okay? Do you want to..."

Li Yan smiled wryly: "I’m fine, it has nothing to do with my previous coma. It’s because that memory is just so... For me, it’s always been a shadow I’ve avoided. Sometimes after killing, recalling some things makes me lose control a bit, so I use physical stimulus to dilute the brain’s stimulus. It calms me down..."

Seeing that his whole demeanor had returned to normal, Yue Yao believed he was now calm: "By the way, there’s something I need to tell you!"

"What is it?"

"It’s about ’their’ mission to Li Country."

This was exactly the topic Li Yan wanted to discuss. Seeing her bring it up first, he was glad he didn’t have to mention it again. While nodding, he couldn’t help but wonder: did Yue Yao also feel that the awkwardness between them needed to be resolved before Yurong returned, and simultaneously thought of discussing business? Truly, it was like a silent mutual understanding.

Speaking of proper business, Yue Yao immediately became serious, "We’ve already prepared a lot in the preliminary stages, basically we’ve already got a clear understanding of their background; our people have also gone there in batches. This time it’s an away game, also for practical training, so it hasn’t been delayed too much—they’ve already made a full move yesterday."

"How’s the outcome?" Li Yan nodded, it was only a matter of time before action was taken; if Yue Yao hadn’t been worrying all her attention on him yesterday, he believed she would have focused more on the deployment.

"Our people... zero casualties! They completely controlled them, controlled most of the people in this assassin group..."

Seeing Yue Yao’s expression, Li Yan already knew there was a twist to it, but achieving zero casualties didn’t mean they hadn’t gained anything. "And then?"

"Then..." Yue Yao slightly smiled wryly: "They may have been too hasty, initially thinking it was a sure thing. As a result, they didn’t get hold of the most crucial person..."

"Zero casualties is a bit of a waste, the training effect isn’t obvious—it implies that either this assassin group is weak, or they haven’t encountered formidable opponents. Not catching that person isn’t too bad; at least it gives them something to do." Li Yan didn’t pay too much attention—if things went too smoothly, it would lack training. "What’s the specifics of the situation?"

"Earlier, through our extensive information gathering, we learned that this assassin group is primarily distributed in two places. One is near City E in City R, but that’s just a branch location, a window; the headquarters is in Chang Ruo County, Quanyi North Road. Our people moved simultaneously at these two places, basically not giving them a chance to alert each other. But after controlling everyone inside, there wasn’t the founder leader the client was looking for." Yue Yao gave a brief introduction.

"They still have some gains, don’t they?" Li Yan didn’t believe they would just give up like that.

Yue Yao nodded, "That’s what they mainly reported because...from within the members of that assassin group, they got more information. This person named Park Changnan isn’t a long-term resident of Li Country; he spends most of his time living in Yun Country."

"Yun Country?" Li Yan couldn’t help but be stunned. But then he was relieved, only because the opposite side was a Li Country person, organizing an assassin group member, primarily active range was also in Li Country, so habitually thought he must be in Li Country. That’s not necessarily the case, like he used to rarely be in the country himself.

According to Zheng Tian’s story, that man was the enthusiastic pursuer in Nian Yufei’s mother’s time; after the family went downhill, he attempted to achieve both wealth and status through her, exploiting her family background to revive his family business. But Nian Yufei’s mother didn’t care for him, nor did she see through his intentions, rejecting him time and again, and finally had to say some very hurtful words to repel him.

That person, already very enthusiastic, his aspirations fell through, expectation was beaten, went to extremes, hated Nian Yufei’s mother, couldn’t have her nor did he want anyone else to, so he hired hitmen to kill her, but failed. After Nian Yufei’s mother’s family learned the event’s origins, they used the family’s business, financial power, and high pressure to rapidly cause the already declining family to further deteriorate.

Having this layer of revenge, Nian Yufei’s mother didn’t pursue him personally further. But to that person, Li Country wasn’t a place to linger. Facing family members, business, would all be uncomfortable, also fearful of revenge, plus he prepared to lie low, throwing himself wholly into organizing the assassin group, not wanting implications, it was normal for him to leave Li Country and not stay long-term.

"Hmm, based on the testimony information, it’s roughly like this: Park Changnan left Li Country for the Xiaobei Weili Autonomous Prefecture over twenty years ago, settled down in Chong City. Although he was fallen in Li Country, at the time, with his background, Chong City’s cost of living wasn’t high either. Then he recruited some Weili race people who aspired to move to Li Country to work, trained them as assassins. After gaining strength, he returned to Li Country."

Li Yan finally understood, no wonder after Nian Yufei’s mother had issues, her grandfather’s side and the once Yun Island underworld leader Zheng Tian couldn’t find out anything. Because that was essentially a specific, many illegally staying ethnic group, legitimate enterprises, foreigners trying to dig into deep-level information are always more difficult!

...

The Weili Race, this is not only Yun Country’s term; Li Country people also call them this. Li Country people don’t see the Xiaobei Weili race living in Li Country as their kind—better natured feelings are sympathy; more are disdain and exclusion.

Xiaobei income levels are very low—a normal person working can only earn one to two thousand a month, while Xiaobei offers many entertainment options, which this money really won’t cover. And working in Li Country, though harder, can earn one to two million Li Country currency a month, which is six thousand to over ten thousand. Combined with convenient access to Li Country, Weili race working in Li Country became a common phenomenon, following it many social problems arose.

The Weili race work group in Li Country, most are illegal residents. Typically, families scrape together money to send wives to work in Li Country (women can find jobs easier), husbands wait at home for remittances. Those with prospects continue working; those without may play mahjong, drink, even have a mistress, waiting for monthly remittances. Some wives have affairs with Li Country people, run away, causing husbands’ financial loss, eventually needing to sneak into Li Country, vanishing into the sea of illegal workers.

Therefore, many are victims, bullied—like wage arrears, local discrimination, because of illegal residence, even if not paid, there is no place to complain. With more people, more matters, someone will take illegal measures, so local people often exclude them.

This does not mean Li Country people are particularly nasty; poorer regions’ people going to wealthier places to work face similar inevitability. Illegal crossings abroad go without saying, Yun Country goes to Yun Island, underdeveloped provincial workers in developed areas, bullied, discriminated, are common too. Of course, our economy is developing, civility following, now many inland people are wealthier than Yun Island people, more consumes go there from the past are often talented introductions, now unable to discriminate, "foreign stream", "rigid disk people" disdain terms are rarely seen, replaced by "builders", "workers" and such terms.

Those illegally past Weili race, it’s hard to find good-income, easy jobs in Li Country, especially males. Therefore, Park Changnan’s way of pre-paid salary training, additional rewards post-killing, recruited many people, for bottom-level assassins with low requirements, doing one job a year can comfortably live—so why not? The crossing means, let Park Changnan better control subordinates, once failed, exposed, can also leave by crossing method, so he managed for twenty years, increasing stability stronger.

Park Changnan knew Zheng Tian surely wouldn’t give up scooping him out, so mostly he remotely controlled the matured assassin group from Chong City. Zheng Tian isn’t familiar with Li Country anymore, even imagining adversaries hiding in Yun Country East Extension was hard, so for years it’s been Nian Yufei in the light, Park Changnan attacking from dark arrangement.

"Chong City..." Li Yan understood Yue Yao’s meaning, ’they’ are waiting for instruction—is it to continue killing towards Chong City for practical training to catch Park Changnan, or first withdraw from Li Country.

"Their members are all Yun Country people; no matter whose passports they hold now, they all have feelings for Yun Country land. Flooding into Li Country for some trouble, no worries, even if encountering issues and clashing with police, unafraid; but if filing into domestic, it’s not very good..." Yue Yao supplemented slightly.

They are assassins, assassins don’t mind killing, but that’s work—whether good or evil, someone pays money for a life, the target thus has a reason to die. But ordinary people, police differ—they don’t want to unintentionally injure ordinary people, unless there’s real-life-or-death, won’t harm police—police are also people, just for a salary. In Li Country, they avoid harming innocents, too, but if worse happens, the psychological burden is lighter than domestic.

Moreover, for assassins, economically developing, increasingly wealthy Yun Country Continent is also a much larger market than Li Country. Singular infiltration, natural low incident chances; filing en masse, if exposed, could complicate future business dealings.

Li Yan thought for a moment, laughed: "For arrangements, you’re stronger than me; my suggestion now is, dismantle that assassin group, everyone goes back, arrange someone clever to go inspect environment and arrange logistics personnel. As for that Park Changnan—damn, really a bold name, let’s resolve him. Wasn’t Zheng Tian wanting to bring him before him? I’ll take Zheng Tian to deal with it, saves trouble."

Yue Yao pondered slightly, "Let’s do it then!" In her view, a small Park Changnan certainly wouldn’t pose any threat to Li Yan. (To be continued, for more Chapters, please visit www.qidian.com, support the author, support legitimate reading!)
