Chapter 1697 - 934: Southern Paradise Civil Strife, Rush to Oil City!

Zuo Ruxue felt a bit confused, but she quickly realized that now was not the time for a detailed inquiry, despite her inner doubts.

Hurriedly, she went to contact everyone, telling them to get ready for battle.

Soon, Xiao Jun donned an anti-explosion suit and climbed up the wall.

He watched the approaching vehicles from afar.

Two minutes later.

Squeak——

Xiao Jun saw the car stop a few hundred meters away.

It was almost the same spot as last time.

A person got out of the car, someone Xiao Jun had met before; it was Chen Er from Southern Paradise who had come last time seeking cooperation.

Xiao Jun didn’t ask but watched him with some caution.

He chose not to ask, turning passivity into initiative.

Brothers around were on high alert, bullets loaded, heavy artillery and mortars at the back were also ready, prepared to fire at any moment.

After Chen Er got out of the car, he saw the somewhat familiar man on the wall, relieved when he noticed they hadn’t fired.

"Boss Xiao, I apologize for coming unannounced, but I’m here to warn you about something."

"Our Southern Paradise had a traitor, the one who came with us last time, Feng Wei. I’m worried he might come to provoke you and upset both our sides, damaging our cooperation, so I’m here to warn you.

Before we arrived, did Feng Wei come here?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jun frowned, somewhat suspicious, thinking: What kind of tricks is Southern Paradise playing now?

After pondering for a while, he decided to tell the truth.

If what Chen Er says is true, then Chen Er is indeed showing sincerity.

Even if there’s some conspiracy, they wouldn’t come over to remind you to be more vigilant, right?

So he said, "Apart from you today, no one else has been here."

Whew——

Hearing Xiao Jun’s words, Chen Er immediately relaxed.

Since Feng Wei hadn’t come, it seemed they were quicker than him.

So Chen Er continued:

"It’s good he hasn’t come. That traitor Feng Wei has been kicked out of Southern Paradise; he does not represent us. If you see him provoking your base, just eliminate him directly without considering us."

"Hmm?" Xiao Jun’s mind was racing, thinking this might be a ploy to get them to do the dirty work.

So he said, "Alright, got it. Thanks for the warning, we’ve received it."

Chen Er thought that since he was already here, he might as well ask about the cooperation.

"Boss Xiao, I was supposed to come tomorrow to ask, but since I’m here now, I wanted to know how your base is considering the cooperation?"

Xiao Jun frowned; Director Li hasn’t come yet, how could he make decisions?

So he just brushed it off:

"We agreed to give you an answer tomorrow; we’ll discuss it tonight and provide you with a definite answer tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Chen Er had a clearer idea about Xiao Jun. He initially suspected Xiao Jun was merely the lead on the surface and there was someone behind him.

Even though he’s here, he hasn’t informed them and needs to discuss it, indicating someone behind Xiao Jun hasn’t made a decision yet.

He wondered which power was behind Oil City.

Thinking this, Chen Er said:

"You’re right, we’ll come again tomorrow. It’s just that it’s too late today, we might not be able to return, so we’re just letting you know we’ll camp ten kilometers away tonight if that’s alright?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jun gave him a cautious glance.

What the hell.

Saying it’s not alright now, it’s past five, how can they go somewhere further?

So he said, "Suit yourself!"

Chen Er, smiling, said, "Thank you, we’ll find a place to camp ten kilometers away tonight then, sorry to bother you."

After saying that, he gestured to Xiao Jun.

At that moment, suddenly a gunshot echoed from several kilometers away.

Soon after, a subordinate on the car received radio words from companions five kilometers away.

He leaned out and told Chen Er:

"Chen Er, Wu Li said they’ve encountered Feng Wei and they’re fighting now!"

"What?" Chen Er’s eyes widened.

Then he felt lucky, it was a close call.

Fortunately, he came before Feng Wei, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xiao Jun on the wall with Dong Tai and others naturally heard the gunshot too.

A subordinate took the drone remote control and showed the scenes five kilometers away to Xiao Jun and the others.

"Captain, there’s even more confusion, another group has come and is fighting with Feng’s group!"

Xiao Jun bowed his head and looked at the drone screen.
