However, Lang Nan did not care too much about what the bodyguard said. He even temporarily forgot about Ah Yong. “Bring someone to the First High School in the poor village immediately and capture a child called Shan Chen. If he dares to resist, let him suffer.”
“Arrest a child?” The bodyguard’s eyes were clearly filled with confusion. He asked tentatively, “Deputy Governor Lang, why are we arresting a child? He’s from a poor village.”
“Did you just take over All Yong’s position and haven’t figured out your status and duties?” Lang Nan was merciless, his tone filled with impatience. “When do I have to explain to you the reason for my decisions? Are you the boss or am I the boss?”
“I’m sorry, Deputy Governor Lang. I spoke out of turn.” The bodyguard immediately realized his mistake and quickly lowered his head to apologize. “The same thing won’t happen again. I’ll do it immediately.”
With that, the bodyguard left the office without hesitation and gathered his men to head to the poor village.
A strange smile appeared on the lips of Lang Nan, who was sitting alone in the office. He put on a smug expression and muttered, “Shan Yue, let’s see what you’re going to do this time. I don’t believe you can survive every time. Even if Huo Jue unfortunately fails, I still have other surprises waiting for you.”
At this moment, everyone was making preparations for the next day. If anyone was careless, they might not be able to survive in the end.
At the same time, the sky in Country H gradually darkened. At such a critical moment, everyone stuck to their posts.
Ye Ying and Elder Qiao were in the office on the highest floor. There was a hint of melancholy on their confident faces.
The two of them sat on the sofa, only the faint moonlight outside shining on their faces.
“Boss Ye, the situation we’re facing now isn’t very optimistic. This scene can’t help but remind me of when the group was first established.”
Elder Qiao stroked his beard. “At that time, we were new here. It was not easy to establish our own territory under the covetous gaze of many factions. It can be said that our current status was accumulated bit by bit by our brothers with their blood and flesh.”
“Of course I still remember what you said. At that time, Chang Ling and Yu Feng were still young, and there were many familiar faces around us. However, as the mercenary group gradually grew stronger, more and more uncontrollable factors began to appear, and our team also produced turbid power.”
Ye Ying frowned slightly, as if there was something on his mind. “To be honest, ever since Elder Hu’s incident last time, I didn’t feel that the internal crisis had stopped just like that. Instead, it became more and more intense.”
Ye Ying wasn’t the only one who felt this way. Elder Qiao had long had this thought.
However, due to the overall atmosphere of the group, he did not want to complicate matters and cause internal strife. Therefore, he chose to close his mouth and not make things clear.
“Since you’ve said so, I’ll tell you what I think.”
Elder Qiao lowered his voice slightly. “Logically speaking, after we find Elder Hu, the initiative should gradually shift to our hands, but the truth is the opposite. It’s as if Duo Feng can predict the future, as if he can guess our plans and deployments.”
“Then in your opinion, why did this happen?”
Although Ye Ying had his own answer in his heart, he still wanted to hear Elder Qiao’s opinion. “Do you think there’s a problem with Elder Hu? Or…”
“I think it should be the second possibility. It’s impossible for Elder Hu to completely gain my trust after turning over a new leaf. I even specially sent someone to keep an eye on him. However, the results of the report are still very satisfactory. He has indeed done a lot for the regiment these few days.”
Elder Qiao narrowed his eyes slightly and slowed down his speech. “That’s why I think there are other traitors in the group. They even have a high status. After Elder Hu was exposed, he took over the job and continued to reveal our internal information to Duo Feng..”
