Chapter 1869

Oil City.

Dapao stood up from his chair and said to everyone around:

“We’ve already reported to the Headquarters Base. They’ve instructed us to capture the remaining accomplices first, and then extract more information about that Northern Territory Federation from them.”

Li Tie thought for a moment and asked:

“Do we still need to visit Southern Paradise? What has the base said about this?”

“Director Li’s intention is to first capture those accomplices outside; any other affairs can be dealt with later. Let’s discuss how to capture those people outside!” Dapao said.

Everyone was silent for a few seconds.

Lao Yi was the first to speak and asked: “They might be near Oil City or could even be watching us right now. Should we go out and search?”

Ju Tianrui shook his head and said: “No, before you all came, we already searched the surrounding areas but found no trace of them. The area is too vast, it’s really hard to find them. They might be watching Oil City but surely not too close to us.”

Li Tie looked at Dapao and asked:

“By the way, did that young man say how to contact them?”

Dapao nodded and said: “He mentioned trying to find a chance to come out on his own and wait in the dense woods north of Oil City.”

“Then what’s there to hesitate about? Just let that young man out and we’ll follow him and ambush around, that way we can catch them all in one go.” Lao Yi said.

Xiao Jun, hearing that, said: “What if they suspect Su Yuan has betrayed them and don’t show up?”

Li Tie thought for a moment and said: “There’s nothing we can do, we can’t change their minds. We’ll just have to see if they bite. If they really want to hide, searching for them would be very difficult given our manpower.”

Dapao nodded and said: “Yes, I agree with your opinion. So why not go with this plan?”

Lao Yi had no objections and nodded: “Alright, once you spot them, contact me, I can fly a helicopter over for aerial support.”

Xiao Jun and Ju Tianrui exchanged a glance and then nodded at each other.

In unison, they said: “Agree.”

Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Tie began making arrangements.

“Xiao Jun, later you take fifteen people through the South Gate and ambush on the left side of the woods, Dapao you take fifteen people to ambush on the right side. Once you spot those people, I’ll come over with Lao Yi to support you.”

No one was procrastinating, so everyone nodded and said: “Okay.”

With the mission plan set, everyone dispersed to prepare for action.

This time, the enemies they’re facing have firearms, so they need to wear a layer of Bullet-Proof Vest under their Radiation Protection Clothing.

Though a bit cumbersome, it’s for safety.

Dapao and Li Tie, carrying helmets, entered the interrogation room.

“I need your cooperation. Later, when we let you out, find a way to lure them out. Rest assured, we’ll protect you from the shadows.”

Dapao spoke as he untied the rope from Xiao Yuan’s body.

Xiao Yuan removed the rope and as he did, the rope brushed against his wound, causing him to frown.

Seeing the bloodstained clothes on him, Dapao turned to Xiao He and said: “Go get a cleaner set of clothes for him.”

He then gave him some food to eat.

Hungry and thirsty, Xiao Yuan started gobbling down the food as soon as he got it.

Watching him eat, Dapao patiently said: “No rush, eat slowly, we have time.”

Xiao Yuan glanced at Dapao warily and hesitantly said:

“I’ve told you everything I know and I’m willing to cooperate. I hope you’ll keep your word, or else I…”

He started speaking but couldn’t find a way to hold Dapao accountable.

Instead, he found himself in a very passive position now.

Dapao nodded, smiled, and said: “Don’t worry, at our Big Camphor Tree Base, everyone knows Dapao keeps his word. Just cooperate well, and everything will be fine.”

Internally resigned, Xiao Yuan found the situation to be beyond his control and chose to trust.

If he didn’t follow Dapao’s instructions and Meng Ge discovered his exposure, to save themselves, they wouldn’t show up again and might return to the Northern Territory Federation.

Then they would blame him for the failed operation, and if it came to that, Diaoye and Second Young Master couldn’t find him, they’d surely vent their anger on his sister.

If that happened, his sister would be doomed.

Instead of letting them trouble his sister, it’s better to expose Meng Ge and his group so nobody would go back to report.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan nodded and continued stuffing food into his mouth.

Soon enough.

A team member walked in from outside the interrogation room, approached Dapao, and said:

“Brother Pao, we’re ready and can set out anytime.”

Dapao nodded and then said to Li Tie:

“Tiezi, I’ll go ahead and ambush with the team. I’ll leave this boy to you.”

“Mm!”

Dapao then left with the combat team.

Oil City South Gate.

Xiao Jun and Dapao each led a team of around fifteen people out of the South Gate.

Given its size, Oil City spans over two hundred acres, not a small area.

Besides the main gate, there’s likewise a gate on the south side.
