The ongoing party was interrupted.
Originally, just past eleven, the party had reached its peak atmosphere, and everyone was having a great time, only to be interrupted by a sudden big explosion.
The series of explosions left them panicked and uneasy.
"What's going on? Is it another Adventurer Squad brawl?"
"These restless guys should be sent to hell, causing trouble every day."
"You captains, hurry up and ask around, whose subordinates are causing trouble?"
"Creating a ruckus during our party, it's really going too far."
Before the captains could ask their subordinates, Captain Wang of the Guard Team received a call from the walkie-talkie.
"Captain, bad news, there's a prison break!"
"Who? Who do you say broke the prison? Who did they break out?"
"We don't know who broke the prison, it was too dark to see them clearly. They broke out that guy with the last name Shen from the Dawn Squad and killed nearly a hundred of our brothers!"
The news nearly made Captain Wang drop his walkie-talkie.
Someone actually broke Shen Ruihui out and killed over a hundred people.
He immediately thought of Ye Fan.
Because he knew that Ye Fan's squad was very strong, able to kill over sixty of Mad Horse's men, so killing over a hundred of their Guard Team wouldn't be a big deal.
"Where's Ye Fan? Where is he? It must be him."
There was a moment of hesitation on the other end of the walkie-talkie: "Captain, Ye Fan and his people have been at the plaza barbecuing, none of them missing."
"Impossible! I'll go check."
At this time, Jiang Army of Half Sky Cloud also heard about the incident.
He immediately left the party with Captain Wang to head to the plaza and see Ye Fan.
Before they left, Mu Haiyang, who also received the news, stood up.
Mu Haiyang's face was so cold it could drop ice shards, and he said to Captain Wang, "Wang Huan, no matter what, this matter must be thoroughly investigated! I swear, no matter what status this person has here, I'm going to make him pay a heavy price!"
As he said this, Mu Haiyang's clothes were inflating as if being blown by wind.
That was his superpower, controlling violent winds!
And the faint signs of losing control indicated he was extremely angry.
Captain Wang immediately nodded: "Don't worry, Leader Mu, we only have a few capable families here, I guarantee no one will get away."
With that, he and Jiang Army immediately headed out.
Meanwhile, Zhao Xiaoman and Lawson exchanged glances when they heard about it, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
There was no doubt that Ye Fan and his crew did this, but none of Ye Fan's people had moved.
Could it be that he had another force in ambush outside? It was truly incredible.
And they had a vague sense of foreboding that this matter might not be easily resolved.
********
The Dawn Squad was raising their glasses in celebration.
Ye Fan had already received reports from his subordinates, stating that they had brought out Company Commander Shen at the cost of zero injuries, and had already found a hidden spot to land.
This operation was done beautifully, and he believed that ordinary people would no longer dare to easily trouble the Dawn Squad.
To say there were no repercussions would be false; from now on, he would be at odds with the Guard Team, Half Sky Cloud, and even the Heavy Truck Corps.
After all, this was done in the core area of the Heavy Truck Corps, and Mu Haiyang would certainly hold a grudge, perhaps even want to eliminate him.
Ye Fan didn't care, as he wasn't planning on staying here for long anyway.
No matter the other party's attitude, it would not change Ye Fan's plans.
Seeing Captain Wang and Jiang Army approaching together, Ye Fan downed a glass of wine and squinted at them.
The vehicle stopped not far from Ye Fan, and Captain Wang got out with a face full of anger.
"Ye Fan! How dare you! Causing trouble in the core area prison, do you have a death wish?"
Jiang Army said menacingly, "Ye, do you think teaming up with those two squads means you can do as you please? You three did this together, didn't you? I'll tell you, Leader Mu is furious, the consortium is furious, no one can save you, only you can save yourself by turning in your accomplices, and you might still gain some leniency."
Jiang Army had grander plans; he wanted to use this incident to drag Lawson and Zhao Xiaoman down as well.
If he could use Mu Haiyang's hand to eliminate these groups in one fell swoop, his Half Sky Cloud would become the top Adventurer Squad in the Heavy Truck Corps.
He believed Mu Haiyang would surely want to see this happen.
Now, what he and Captain Wang needed to do was to solidify this narrative and pin it entirely on Ye Fan, Lawson, and Zhao Xiaoman.
No matter if they were involved or not, they would have to bear the blame.
Upon hearing Jiang Army's words, Ye Fan chuckled, "Gentlemen, why so angry? Our Dawn Squad has always followed the base regulations. Our people were bullied, yet didn't we obediently follow you to prison?"
"When Mad Horse's people clashed with us, didn't I stop at the threshold and kill them? Isn't that rule-abiding enough?"
"When the incident occurred, all our members, including my dog, were here eating barbecue. What reason do you have to suspect me?"
"If you really think it's me, then please provide evidence."
At this point, Ye Fan's tone suddenly turned cold: "If you can't provide evidence, then get out! Otherwise, I don't mind having some of my men in prison again. Your prison has no defenses anyway, might as well treat it as a vacation."
"Ye Fan! You...!"
Captain Wang and the Jiang Army were too angry to speak.
But they truly didn't dare to move against Ye Fan.
Ye Fan's group was extremely dangerous, they could clearly feel that several of them were Level 2 Evolvers.
Not to mention Ye Fan, there was the Sniper Zhao Ming, and that big guy in armor.
The two beauties beside Ye Fan, even that dog and eagle possessed terrifying power.
Even the ordinary soldiers, each had the top-notch strength of a Level 1 Evolver, it's unknown where Ye Fan found this terrifying bunch.
Although Jiang Army was also a Level 2 Evolver, if they started a fight here, they would definitely be instantly killed by Ye Fan's people.
Even without evidence, even with evidence, they needed direct support from Mu Haiyang to dare take action.
Besides, they knew that Mu Haiyang couldn't launch a large-scale operation right now; he had many things still in preparation.
Captain Wang spoke: "Alright, Ye Fan, you've got guts, but you should know, when someone does something, there will definitely be traces. When I get the evidence, I'll see what you have to say then!"
The two turned around and left in a huff, believing that finding evidence shouldn't be a difficult task.
Ye Fan laughed softly on his side and continued to raise his cup to drink.
Go ahead and look, Ye Fan believed that his subordinates did things absolutely cleanly, and besides, the people sent this time were freshly produced, no matter how they searched, they wouldn't find anything.
********
Just as Ye Fan thought, this seemingly simple matter stalled.
The Guard Team conducted a large-scale search for clues, a city-wide manhunt.
Many places with surveillance were checked, but those who broke into the prison seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
No surveillance captured how these people got in.
The explosions and attacks happened so suddenly, the cameras only captured them rushing out of the footage.
Captain Wang and the others even didn't spare the underground, digging pits to see if the other side had tunneled in.
But ultimately, they found nothing.
The only certainty was that this group had extremely powerful firepower, and their actions were extremely meticulous, with helicopters assisting outside.
The prison guards appeared like children playing house in front of them, getting beaten without any resistance.
Initially, they tried to blame the matter on Lawson and Zhao Xiaoman, but the people in the surveillance were clearly not their people.
These were faces that had never appeared before.
The biggest suspect was, of course, Ye Fan, but unfortunately there was no direct evidence to prove it was him.
This matter was stuck without any progress.
The final report reached Mu Haiyang, waiting for him to make a decision.
Mu Haiyang thought it over and decided to set the matter aside for now.
The timing wasn't right, it wasn't a good opportunity to act.
He wanted to quickly integrate all forces, and first settle some people within the Chamber of Commerce.
Once the Chamber of Commerce was integrated, the Guard Team and Half Sky Cloud would immediately pledge allegiance, and by then, Lawson, Zhao Xiaoman, and Ye Fan, he would take them all in one swoop.
By that time, whether there was a reason would no longer matter, a bigger fist would be the reason.
********
Ye Fan understood very clearly what the opposite side was planning.
He also knew that once Mu Haiyang's people were free to act, the current forces he had wouldn't be enough.
Now, Ye Fan had over a million, actually enough strength to engage in a direct battle with the Heavy Truck Corps.
But the problem lay in one place.
If Ye Fan spent the money to amass soldiers here, how to return to Dawn City became a problem.
To fight against the tens of thousands of Heavy Truck Corps, without three thousand troops, it wouldn't be stable, but the distance to Dawn City was too far away, it's impossible to transport by helicopter trip by trip.
For cars, the journey is arduous, the highways are inaccessible, getting home would take forever.
"Can't use air, can't use road, what else can be done?"
Ye Fan lay on the bed and opened his system page.
It displayed the current total force Ye Fan had.
The Dawn Army currently numbered 3,850!
Seeing this number, Ye Fan was a bit taken aback.
This seemed close to the full regiment size he set!
By producing another 150 combat units, his troops would be at full capacity.
Producing 151, he could unlock a higher level of authority.
Currently a Regiment Commander, the next upgrade would be Brigade Commander.
A higher position could bring stronger troops and more advanced technology to Ye Fan.
The things currently unsolvable might find solutions upon upgrading.
Ye Fan immediately made up his mind to prepare for an upgrade!
