Chapter 1709 - 939: The Enigmatic Director Li (Part 2)

Suddenly said to Chen Er:

"I heard from Xiao Jun that there was a traitor from Southern Paradise yesterday? Tried to come to our Oil City and cause trouble but was stopped by Captain Chen."

Chen Er heard Li Yu mention this matter and took the topic, saying:

"Yes, this really happened. Speaking of this, we must thank your base for the help, otherwise, the traitors might have actually escaped."

Chen Er expressed some gratitude while observing Director Li’s expression.

He answered very cautiously. Despite Director Li’s young age, he was exceptionally steady, quite unlike his peers.

His brain was racking quickly, realizing that before speaking, people always have a purpose, especially in such situations.

That Director Li brought this up towards the end of cooperative negotiation; it couldn’t be just idle talk.

Certainly, there’s more to what he’s saying.

As expected, Li Yu’s next words confirmed his guess.

"Doomsday has made life difficult for everyone. Our cooperation with your Southern Paradise is aimed at mutual assistance and fulfilling each other’s needs.

However, the fact that your Southern Paradise produced a traitor makes us feel a bit unstable. Should another traitor come to disturb us someday, should we kill them or not?"

"Kill them or not?"

Li Yu emphasized the last sentence with a heavier tone.

Making Chen Er’s eyelids twitch, no wonder, this sentence startled him.

Forcefully pulling a smile, he hastily replied:

"Rest assured, the occurrence of that traitor was an accident. Frankly, it’s quite embarrassing that such an incident happened at our base, which is indeed laughable.

However, you can be completely assured, as our boss Mr. Hu has already issued a death order to thoroughly investigate the entire base, ensuring no further issues.

If, and I say if, another traitor tries to disturb you, you are welcome to kill them, and we would be grateful."

Li Yu smiled and didn’t say anything after hearing his words.

Silence.

Seeing that the conversation was about wrapped up, Xiao Jun got up and said to Chen Er: "Well then..."

"Captain Xiao, hold on a moment." Li Yu spoke.

Xiao Jun paused, thinking that if there was more to say, he should have said it earlier, given he was already standing up.

Thus, he awkwardly sat back down and, turning to Li Yu, said:

"Director Li, is there anything else you need to convey?"

Chen Er also turned his gaze to Li Yu.

"I wasn’t supposed to say more, but since we’re aiming for cooperation, naturally we hope you can stabilize things.

I heard from Xiao Jun about the traitor Feng Wei from your Southern Paradise and have some understanding of the situation.

This Feng Wei definitely has someone behind him; otherwise, how would he know in advance and escape? When you return, get your Mr. Hu to investigate further. Some things, if not decisively handled, will lead to chaos."

Upon hearing Li Yu’s words, Chen Er thought to himself:

It seems there’s still concern about our stability, fearing internal chaos. But from another perspective, if he were from Oil City, he would naturally want stable cooperation as well.

However, why does Director Li seem so certain that Feng Wei has someone behind him?

Temporarily setting aside these doubts, Chen Er thoughtfully cupped his hand in salute to Li Yu and said:

"Thank you for the reminder, Director Li. Your words will certainly be passed along."

Li Yu noticed he seemed to listen but was unsure if he truly did.

If Scar were to kill Mr. Hu and Southern Paradise experienced severe internal conflict, leading to fragmentation, it was uncertain if it would affect cooperation.

Additionally, Li Yu had a rather good impression of Mr. Hu and hoped he wouldn’t die too soon.

"Alright, Captain Chen, I’ll take my leave first.

Xiao Jun, you accompany Captain Chen, and then start the transaction. The sooner it’s done, the quicker Captain Chen can have sufficient time to return." Li Yu got up and said to Xiao Jun, then left the tent directly.

Xiao Jun stood up again, nodded and said: "Alright, then Captain Chen, let’s proceed with the plan we discussed."

Chen Er replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, then we’ll wait for you at the intersection three kilometers outside Oil City."

Xiao Jun went over to escort him out of the tent and watched him exit the main gate of Oil City.

One person enters, one person leaves.

This Chen Er didn’t carry any weapons and came alone, which from this perspective shows the courage of this person from Southern Paradise.

Soon.

Xiao Jun asked Dong Tai to prepare the oil, six vehicles, totaling 48 tons of oil.

Aside from the six or seven individuals led by Dong Tai to protect the oil, there were also ten cooperative personnel from Original Oil City going together.

"Ma Sailong, when you head out later, pump the oil into their tanker." Xiao Jun said to the cooperative personnel from Original Oil City.

Ma Sailong had always been with Zhong Chuchu, but these people had grown accustomed to staying in Oil City since the second year after Doomsday began.

Later, Zhong Chuchu moved south to the Big Camphor Tree Base with Ling Feng and Shen Xiaoxiao, leaving over a hundred of the Original Oil City personnel.

These people remained in Oil City as cooperative personnel and managed the oil extraction and refining.

Among them, Ma Sailong did relatively well, so Xiao Jun promoted him to lead these people.

Upon hearing Xiao Jun’s instructions, Ma Sailong nodded and said: "Captain, I understand. Once we arrive, I’ll use the machine pump to extract."

"Alright, Dong Tai, you inspect the medicine there personally, and once it’s confirmed to be okay, hand over the oil to them."
