Even though he had walked far away, everyone in the meeting room could still hear the man’s tragic howl. After a while, they had already locked the man in the room, so his voice became softer.
Zuo Mingdong asked Du Yue and the other two, “Let’s go to the warehouse at the back to take a look?”
Even without seeing that group of people, Du Yue could imagine what their current state was like.
After seeing so many bloody scenes, she did not become more soft-hearted. However, Du Yue was still unwilling to face that painful scene. She did not want to be a savior, nor did she have the ability to save everyone. Thus, she could only choose not to see or listen.
Du Yue shook her head. “Go ahead. We’ll wait for you here.”
Zuo Mingdong was not surprised to receive Du Yue’s reply. “Alright, then wait for us. We’ll be back soon.”
The man had said that there were more than a hundred people left in the warehouse behind. He did not know what the situation was like there, so Zuo Mingdong planned to bring more people over.
“Go ahead. We’ll take care of the people next door,” He Xing told him.
Zuo Mingdong naturally knew that the three of them were capable, so he did not say anything else and led his men to the warehouse at the back.
After Zuo Mingdong and the others left, Du Yue sat back on the sofa and changed into a more comfortable position. Shen Teng could not sit still. “You two rest here. I’ll go next door to watch them.”
Knowing that Shen Teng was an enthusiastic person who liked things to be foolproof no matter what he did, Du Yue and He Xing did not stop him.
He Xing walked around the meeting room and stood in front of a cabinet. “This is a file cabinet. There should be information about this coal mine inside. Let me see if we can find anything useful.”
Du Yue nodded.
He Xing rummaged through the cabinet for a while and finally pulled out a stack of documents. After reading it, he put the documents back in. Then, he walked to Du Yue’s side and said to her, “This coal mine was established decades ago, and the coal resources are very rich. After this operation, we should not have to worry about running out of fuel for a year and a half.”
Du Yue did not say anything. Although they had already dealt with the people who occupied the coal mine, it was unimown whether the more than 100 people in the warehouse behind would stand up and act as the owners. It was unknown whether they would let them take the coal away.
After experiencing so many changes, Du Yue was used to considering everything more comprehensively and seriously considering every possibility. He Xing had already thought of what she was worried about. “Don’t worry. Whether they agree or not, we can still take the coal away.”
He Xing’s words sounded arrogant, but Du Yue knew that what He Xing said was true. She nodded. “Yes, as long as we want to, we can take as much coal as we want.” Even though that was the case, Du Yue felt that Zuo Mingdong would not allow those people to act recklessly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shen Teng walking out from the next room with an angry face. Just by looking at his expression, she knew that the people in the next room must have started to play tricks again.
Sure enough, the next second, Shen Teng gritted his teeth and said, “We should’ve killed them all just now! They’re already on the verge of death, yet these people’s mouths are full of foul language!”
“There’s no need to be angry with them,” Du Yue comforted him. “We’re letting them keep their lives for a reason. We can have them mine the coal for us so that we don’t have to do it ourselves, no?”
Mining coal was not only physically painful, but one could lose one’s life if one was not careful. Leaving this matter to them could be considered recycling waste. As for the food and drink of this group of people, there was no need to worry too much. They could just set the rule that everyone had to mine a certain amount of coal every day before they were given food.
If someone did a good job, they could be given more food. However, if anyone took advantage of the situation and did not do their job properly, they would be left with nothing to eat. Shen Teng, who had been furious just now, immediately calmed down after hearing Du Yue’s suggestion. “This is a great idea! When Captain Zuo comes back later, we’ll discuss it with him!”
Just as they were thinking, they heard a flurry of footsteps coming from outside the door. Du Yue and the other two went over and found that Zuo Mingdong had returned with his men. However, there were five fewer people than when they had gone.
Du Yue’s expression turned serious. “Where did those five people go?” Could it be that something had happened in the warehouse behind?
Zuo Mingdong saw her serious expression and knew that she must have misunderstood. He quickly explained, “1 asked them to stay behind and watch those people. Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
Hearing this, Du Yue’s heart relaxed a little..
