This director is vindictive.

Located on the northern border of Siam is an industrial park called "Asia Pacific New City".

On the surface, the factory buildings here are neat and orderly, and trucks come and go frequently, making it seem like an ordinary cluster of foreign-invested factories.

However, in reality, this place is a criminal den specializing in telecommunications fraud.

The park is surrounded by high-voltage power grids and armed guard posts, and has a strict monitoring system inside.

The "employees" who were lured there were imprisoned in the dormitory area and forced to engage in fraudulent activities every day. Any resistance would result in severe beatings.

The park's behind-the-scenes boss is surnamed Tang, a ruthless and seasoned veteran.

In his early years, he operated a larger telecom fraud base in Mianbei, employing hundreds of thugs and operating in partnership with local warlords.

Later, under international pressure, the local authorities had to launch a joint law enforcement operation, which shut down several large-scale fraud parks. However, this Mr. Tang received advance warning and fled to Siam with his core team and funds.

In Siam, he exploited the complex social networks and loopholes in border control to quickly rebuild this criminal empire. Although the park is not as large as it used to be, it still holds thousands of lured "indentured laborers" who carry out various scams into the country every day via phone and internet.

The disappearance of the three fireflies was committed by people downstream in his criminal network.

It's fair to say that many telecom fraud bosses hate Chen Mo to the core.

Because of the movie "All or Nothing" and Chen Mo's influence, it can be said that many telecom fraud criminal groups suffered.

Especially in this life, because Chen Mo himself has a huge influence in China, when "All or Nothing" was released, it dealt a heavy blow to a wave of telecom fraud groups.

Although "All or Nothing" is just a movie and its impact may not seem exaggerated, it was more of a coincidence, but it did make more people tremble at the mention of it and learn about some related content.

In particular, the anti-fraud software they launched in partnership with the government made it even more difficult for them to carry out their criminal operations.

However, the people behind these telecom fraud groups both hate and fear people like Chen Mo.

What they hate is that Chen Mo has made their lives less comfortable. What they fear is that while their criminal organization might be a behemoth to ordinary people, it's nothing to a super-rich tycoon like Chen Mo with his vast wealth and capital.

But money can be a powerful motivator, especially since many years have passed since then.

Gradually, they also began to forget the devastating disaster brought about by "All or Nothing" back then.

Three fans went missing, and Chen Mo offered a reward of tens of millions of yuan. He also donated money and tipped Han Zai, spending tens of millions of yuan in real money.

And it's almost common knowledge.

Three people spent so much money. The key point is that Chen Mo is really rich, and unlike some wealthy people who are stingy, he is not.

At first, they didn't have any designs on Chen Mo, after all, they couldn't.

However, a slip of the tongue by reporter Yao Jing ignited the fire.

They saw a way to make money faster than simple telecom fraud, and they used moral blackmail to force Chen Mo to offer another reward.

Therefore, they started to fabricate this wave of public opinion.

Although the matter was quickly suppressed, the families of the victims continued to exert pressure, driving them to despair, which led to the previous incident where they directly knelt down and begged for help on live stream.

Even the people in the telecom fraud group didn't expect that this time they would actually provoke Chen Mo to anger.

The reason these people are so fearless is that they are all in cahoots with local armed forces. Although the country is powerful, it is not so quick to crack down on them through official channels.

Given enough time, they can always slip away unnoticed.

But this time, Chen Mo didn't play by the rules and directly flipped the table.

They're not going to use the usual tricks; they're going to throw money at you!
The announcement of the $100 million bounty has thrown several telecom fraud groups in Southeast Asia into disarray.

Many of the behind-the-scenes bosses were so frightened that they went into hiding.

Because this reward isn't just for saving lives!

Inside the conference room of the telecom fraud ring, smoke filled the air. Boss Tang sat in the main seat, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the table.

He glanced around at the core members present, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Everyone, you've all heard the rumors lately, haven't you?" Boss Tang spoke slowly, his voice low and hoarse.

The atmosphere in the conference room immediately became tense. "Cobra," who was in charge of intelligence, pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice, "Boss, the sudden appearance of the $100 million bounty must have been orchestrated by that Chen Mo. The entire underworld is in an uproar."

"Hmph, one hundred million US dollars?"

Boss Tang sneered, "Chen Mo is really willing to spend a lot of money."

"Boss, shouldn't we be a little more cautious?" the finance manager, "Abacus," said cautiously. "Things are getting tense outside, and many of our competitors have already started to move their operations elsewhere."

"Relocate?" Boss Tang slammed his hand on the table, his eyes wide with anger. "How much effort have we put into establishing ourselves here? And now you're just going to leave like that?"

“But boss, Chen Mo’s bounty is too high, one hundred million US dollars, enough to tempt anyone.”

"Iron Hand," the security chief, frowned and said, "Our men are starting to panic; some are even..."

"Even what?" Boss Tang narrowed his eyes, his tone dangerous.

"Some even suggested voluntarily handing over a few 'piglets'."

Iron Hand said, forcing himself to speak.

The temperature inside the conference room seemed to drop to freezing point instantly.

Boss Tang's face was so gloomy it could drip water. He slowly stood up, walked to Tie Shou, and looked down at him.

"Iron Hand, how many years have you been following me?"

"Ten years, boss." Iron Hand's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"Ten years, you should know my rules."

Boss Tang's voice was as cold as a venomous snake: "What happens to traitors?"

Iron Hand swallowed hard, not daring to answer.

Boss Tang turned and walked back to his seat, coldly saying, "Pass down my message: anyone who dares to have any ulterior motives should not blame me for being ruthless. In addition, strengthen internal monitoring; anyone who makes any unusual moves will be dealt with immediately."

"Yes, boss!" everyone replied in unison.

"Also, those family members have been squeezed dry. They should be dealt with as soon as possible, without leaving any loose ends," Boss Tang said casually, as if discussing the weather.

"Understood." Cobra nodded.

Just then, with a sudden "whoosh," a flower of blood burst open on Cobra's forehead, and he fell straight onto the conference table, his blood instantly staining the spread-out map.

The air in the conference room seemed to freeze for a second, then exploded. "Sniper!"

Iron Hand lunged towards the window, slamming the heavy curtains shut. At the same time, he grabbed the walkie-talkie from the table and yelled, "Everyone on alert! Enemy attack!"

Boss Tang's expression changed drastically. He quickly drew his pistol from his waist and coldly scanned his surroundings: "Damn it, who leaked the information?"

"Boss, now is not the time to pursue this!" Suanpan's face was ashen, and his voice trembled. "We have to get out of here right now!"

"Retreat, yes, retreat quickly!" Gunshots rang out one after another.

Even the Boss Tang who was hiding could no longer remain calm.

"Hurry all the 'piglet's' into the yard! I want to see if they dare to fire!"

The men immediately sprang into action, roughly herding the imprisoned "piglet" onto an open field to serve as human shields. Meanwhile, on a high ground outside the park, a sniper calmly reported through his headset: "Target exposed, but the other side has taken hostages. Requesting instructions."

A deep voice came through the headset: "Mike, hostages? What do hostages have to do with us? Our mission is to eliminate bounty targets; rescuing people is not our primary task!"

The sniper squinted, locked onto Boss Tang's figure through the scope, and whispered, "Roger that."

Such scenes are occurring in multiple telecommunications fraud zones.

This is still relatively restrained; some telecom fraud zones have been directly cracked down on, but this is just the beginning.

The local armed leader supporting the telecom fraud park in the northern region was not killed immediately because he was well protected, but his "family members" were not so lucky.

To those mercenaries who live on the edge in the underworld, those people are all glittering US dollars in their eyes.

One hundred million US dollars is enough to drive those people crazy.

After all, this kind of mission is incredibly cost-effective for mercenaries who spend years in the midst of gunfire.

While there is a reward for rescuing people, it is far less easy than directly eliminating targets with high-value bounties.

Therefore, Southeast Asia, especially the various telecom fraud zones, has suffered.

After all, those places may be secluded, but how could they really be truly secluded?

At least for the underworld, this kind of intelligence is really not hard to obtain.

Suddenly, the whole of Southeast Asia was filled with a sense of unease and fear.

The influx of a large number of dangerous elements will inevitably cause unrest.

Interestingly, the appearance of the $100 million bounty seems to have opened Pandora's box.

The allure of money far surpasses imagination—the moment this astronomical bounty was posted on the dark web, the entire Southeast Asian underworld was in an uproar. Mercenaries, intelligence brokers, retired special forces soldiers, and even local warlords stirred like sharks smelling blood. Even Chen Mo never imagined that his $100 million bounty was just the beginning.

Suddenly, overnight, multiple bounties appeared in the underworld. The individual bounties were not very high, ranging from a few hundred thousand US dollars to several million or even tens of millions of US dollars.

But all of that is enough to excite countless people who make a living from this.

Some telecom fraud ringleaders, because they are quite famous, have multiple bounties on their heads. Each bounty may not be high, but when added together, they are not low at all.

Chen Mo was somewhat surprised when he received the news.

"You mean, after we issued the bounty, dozens of similar bounties appeared?" Chen Mo asked the person on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, Boss, because all payments are made in cryptocurrency, we can't determine the source, but according to intelligence analysis, most of them come from within China!"

Chen Mo couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

However, it's not hard to understand why, in reality, most of the people scammed by telecom fraud groups are ordinary people or people with some wealth in China.

But it's important to understand that the victims of these telecom fraud groups over the years aren't just ordinary people—the wealthy addicted to online gambling, business owners trapped in "pig butchering" scams, and even some bigwigs in the gray market are probably seething with resentment. They were previously powerless, but now someone is leading the charge to overturn the tables.
"Human nature," Chen Mo sighed as he hung up the phone. He recalled a news report about the only son of a listed company owner who was exposed for owing 30 million yuan in debt at an overseas casino, only to find out it was a scam orchestrated by a telecom fraud ring.

Now it seems that these silent victims are taking revenge in the most primal way.

This kind of thing has a time lag.

Some people with ulterior motives, or those who manipulate things behind the scenes, continue to fabricate news content related to moral blackmail.

It wasn't until firsthand news came from netizens in Southeast Asia that the situation became clear.

In the shaky footage, the gate of a well-known telecom fraud park is blown open, and the sign "Asia-Pacific New City" hangs crookedly on the wall.

"Family members, who knows anything about this place! It's in complete chaos here. This is the famous Asia-Pacific New City Industrial Park. Everyone who knows this place knows what it is. Normally, ordinary people wouldn't dare to come near it, but now, everyone can see it, right?"

Although the footage wasn't very clear, it's still evident that an attack had taken place here.

But this is just the beginning.

Soon more information was revealed online.

Although the local authorities tried to cover it up, the truth couldn't be hidden forever; we live in the global internet age now.

Not to mention, some of the people who received the bounty also gave a big gift by posting the video directly on the public internet.

They can suppress local public opinion, but they can't control global public opinion at all!
More and more information is being disclosed.

For example, there are huge bounties of over $100 million on the dark web, and the targets of these crackdowns are often telecom fraud crime zones or local armed groups.

Those who were stirring up trouble in China were immediately dumbfounded.

Those morally manipulative remarks suddenly fell silent overnight.

Some posts were deleted, while others disappeared.

Public opinion was completely ignited.

In particular, some information is not accurate, such as the $100 million bounty.

As it was passed down, it became many versions.

Some say it's 100 million US dollars, others say it's 300 million US dollars, and still others say it's 1 billion US dollars.

In short, someone has made a move, and it's a big one.

So who is this person?

Who has such deep hatred for telecom fraudsters, and who has such formidable financial resources? The answer is obvious.

The key point is that the announcements and statements from local law enforcement agencies in Southeast Asia, where telecom fraud zones exist, appear incredibly ironic and ridiculous.

Especially after the local telecom fraud park was ravaged by bloodshed, the detained "piglets" became their biggest source of pressure.

After all, without evidence, even if you know it's a fraud zone, you can't just put pressure on them without any evidence, can you?

But this time it's completely different.

Because many members of the telecom fraud groups either fled or died, a significant number of the "piglets" in the telecom fraud park escaped.

This time, the evidence is irrefutable.

Despite the local law enforcement agencies' attempts to deflect blame, claiming ignorance and vowing to crack down on transnational crime, the result was nothing but a barrage of criticism and ridicule.

"What have you been doing so far?"

"This is the funniest joke I've ever heard!"

"Well, we'll crack down on cross-border crimes, but you should clean up the telecom fraud zone first!"

Interestingly, this time, the authorities did not block those related trending topics.

The results of Weibo's real-time trending topics list:

#Southeast Asian telecom fraud zones massacred# (Breaking News)

#Mystery of the Huge Bounty# (Boiling Point)

#The End of Telecom Fraud Groups# (Trending)

Of course, there are all sorts of birds in a big forest. The telecom fraud park was wiped out, and tens of thousands of victims were rescued. While countless people were applauding, there were still some people there, cricketing away.

Influential blogger @LegalPioneer published a lengthy article titled "Offering Rewards for Violence Runs Against the Rule of Law": "Using vigilante justice to solve cross-border crime? If we can offer rewards to telecom fraudsters today, will we be able to carry out vigilante justice tomorrow??"

A marketing account stated: "When we cheer for the 'annihilation of telecom fraudsters,' have we ever considered—"

Who defines the criteria for "those who deserve to die"?

When the law gives way to capital, how can ordinary people guarantee they won't become the next "wanted poster"?

However, this marketing account was immediately overwhelmed by countless netizens.

"I'm so annoyed by people like you. Yes, we all hope to solve problems through legal means, but the problem is, domestic laws don't apply to overseas areas!"

"Although I'm against vigilante justice, I just felt so good about this! Magic can defeat magic!"

“Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Let me ask you a question: If your family members were lured to the park by telecom fraudsters, what would you do? Would you just sit and wait for law enforcement agencies in Southeast Asia to take action?”

"What we oppose is crime, not the price of human life!"

"I don't understand, but all I know is that this fight of fire with fire is incredibly satisfying!"

On Zhihu's trending question, "How to evaluate the bloodshed abroad caused by unofficial bounties?", an anonymous user revealed: "My cousin works as a security guard in Mianbei. Last night, a video showed that more than a dozen industrial parks were evacuated overnight. On the way, they encountered people 'collecting bounties,' and directly..." (This answer has been deleted.)

A screenshot circulating on Douban shows a chat log from a family group of victims of telecom fraud, which states, "Now they don't even dare to ask for ransom anymore, for fear of being tracked down." (The authenticity of the screenshot is questionable.)
Of course, these are not the mainstream opinions. After all, the huge bounty and the recent Southeast Asian massacre have an unprecedented deterrent effect.

Netizen @JusticeHammer posted a screenshot of the dark web bounty (blurred version): "The list of names and coordinates of the park with a $100 million bounty have been made public! This is what you call a dimensional reduction attack! Tsk tsk, this boss really flipped the table this time!"

A highly-rated reply to a popular Hupu post titled "Rational Analysis: Is Offering Bounties to Crack Down on Bandits a Different Kind of 'Anti-Organized Crime Campaign'?" reads: "In the past, telecom fraudsters were rampant because the cost of committing crimes was low. Now, with a million-dollar bounty on their heads at any time, let's see who dares to do this!"

The Douyin (TikTok) fan group "Firefly" collectively changed their profile pictures to a burning banknote effect. Under the hashtag #ViolenceIsUnacceptableButRelievesAngst#, numerous comments from victims' families appeared: "My daughter died in the KK Park last year. Today I can finally sleep peacefully."

"Where are those people who were using moral blackmail before? Come out here and continue!"

"A hundred million US dollars worth of fangs, that's terrifying! It must have scared those guys who were trying to morally blackmail us to death, right?"

In fact, the impact of this incident was still too great.

The key point is that after this incident broke out, all the people who were deceived came forward.

Their presence provided the authorities with the most direct evidence to intervene.

Some people need evidence, but some things really don't.

However, Chen Mo's move left many people speechless, after all, that's a whopping 100 million US dollars!

They smashed it without warning; it was a clear case of making an example of someone!

Many people, both domestically and internationally, are waiting for an official statement, but interestingly...

The authorities immediately denied any connection between the bounty and domestic matters, since there was no evidence to support such claims.
However, the Global Times published an editorial titled "Transnational Crime Requires International Cooperation to Eradicate," emphasizing that "we have always opposed any form of vigilante justice, but this incident has exposed the serious situation of uncontrolled security in parts of Southeast Asia."

This statement was quite interesting, as it cleverly avoided the topic of the source of the bounty and instead emphasized the security issues in parts of Southeast Asia.

After all, a bloodbath has occurred; how can public order be good?

Perhaps after this incident, telecom fraud will not truly disappear, but at least one thing is certain: Chen Mo has become the red line they dare not cross.

After all, nobody wants to have a huge bounty on their head and live in constant fear of being shot in the back.
In fact, this time, it wasn't just the underground forces that were tempted by the huge bounty; even many people within the telecom fraud groups were willing to risk the heads of their targets to claim the reward!
After all, all those shady dealings they've done over the years are far less profitable than a single act of betrayal!
It can be said that Chen Mo has truly become someone they fear and dread!
Names have become taboo to some extent.

Why mess with someone who doesn't care about money? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

Don't be fooled by those billionaires with net worths in the tens of billions; very few can actually come up with hundreds of millions in cash. And let alone throw away a hundred million US dollars for something with no return. Unless you have money to burn, very few people would do that! (End of Chapter)
