Three departments? Which ones?” Zhou Chao furrowed his brow slightly, as he wasn’t very familiar with the relevant units on the Russia’s side.

“The Environmental Management Bureau, the Land and Resources Bureau, and the Inspection Bureau!”

“Oh!” Zhou Chao nodded lightly.

Soon, the group of people entered the ranch. When they saw about twenty people standing in the open space, as well as Lev and his men with weapons, they were all stunned.

Lin Wu received a nod from Zhou Chao and quickly walked towards the group. “Hello, do you have any business here?” Lin Wu’s attitude was still quite sincere, smiling as he quietly asked the people.

Upon hearing Lin Wu’s question, the officials from Russia’s relevant departments finally came to their senses, coughing awkwardly.

“Hello, I’m Boris, the mayor of Likha Town. I heard that there were illegal mining activities and intentional damage to forest vegetation here, so I brought people over today to see what’s going on. Also, I’d like those of you carrying guns to show your gun permits.” A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader from Russia stepped forward.

Watching from a distance, Zhou Chao gestured to Lev, murmuring a few words in his ear before carrying the little tiger and walking back into the villa.

Sitting by the fireplace on the sofa, Zhou Chao quietly watched Lin Wu come and go two or three times, occasionally holding some documents.

After about half an hour, Lev and Lin Wu returned together, both wearing angry expressions.

“Boss, they’re going too far, playing all these little tricks!” Lin Wu said indignantly.

Zhou Chao, calm as ever, stroked the little tiger, “Have those people left?” “They’ve all gone. When they saw that we had all the necessary documents, they had nothing more to say!” Lin Wu said somewhat proudly. He felt a bit smug thinking about the faces of those people turning pale when he showed them the documents earlier.

“Boss, do you think it was Liya who sent these people?” Lev suddenly spoke up.

“No,” Zhou Chao said with certainty. If it were really Liya’s doing, they wouldn’t have sent just a small-town mayor. At worst, it would have been the mayor of Irkutsk.

“Then what are these people here for? Do they also want a share of the pie? But based on their status and identity, they’re not qualified.” Lin Wu was also puzzled at this point, unable to understand why these people suddenly appeared.

“It seems that someone wants to stir up trouble. I’m not sure if it was Liya’s suggestion, but if it was, then his vision is too limited,” Zhou Chao pondered. According to reason, someone at Liya’s level wouldn’t do something so foolish.

“Boss, should we retaliate?”

Zhou Chao didn’t immediately answer, instead pondering for a moment before saying, “Let’s wait and see this afternoon. If they don’t call me or come to the ranch, you can send out the video we took of the gold nugget we dug up earlier and let our friends back home enjoy it!”

Lin Wu’s lips curled into a mischievous smile, nodding excitedly. “Don’t worry, Boss, I’m experienced in this kind of thing!”

Alright, get back to work. Lev, you should rest as well. You worked hard last night.”

Lev and Lin Wu nodded and then turned to walk outside.

Compared to the calm atmosphere on Zhou Chao’s side, Abdullah and Liya were busy and frantic.

“What? Antone, what did you just say? You said the mayor of Likha Town, with several departments, went to Zhou Chao’s place?” Liya looked angrily at his subordinate. If it weren’t for the fact that he had to die, he would be useless, really.

“Boss, they’re just outsiders. There’s nothing to be afraid of. Remember, the Russia is our territory. Remember, that gold mine is worth over 600 billion, in US dollars!” Antone never expected his boss to scold him. He just gave a heads-up to the people below to mess with Zhou Chao a bit.

Antone’s words only infuriated Liya further. He kicked Antone’s leg hard, causing him to fall to the ground, while Agfu, standing nearby, remained expressionless.

“Get out! Get out of here! Wait until I solve this matter, and I’ll see how I deal with you!” Liya shouted angrily.

Seeing that Liya was really angry, Antone crawled out of the room in a hurry.

After a while, Liya calmed down from his anger. He looked at Agfu, who was standing like a statue, and asked, “Agfu, tell me your thoughts.”

“Boss, I’m only responsible for your safety. I don’t know anything else,” Agfu said without changing his expression.

Liya frowned slightly, his tone becoming heavier, “Speak freely, I won’t blame you no matter what you say.”

Upon hearing this, Agfu looked deeply at Liya before speaking after a long while, “I don’t think you can handle this matter now. You’d better call your father and tell him.”

Liya’s face changed, and he was about to erupt, but he restrained himself. “Why do you say that?”

“Boss, you don’t have the capital to negotiate this matter. Remember, this gold mine is worth over 600 billion US dollars. As far as I know, your net worth is only a little over ten billion now. Moreover, the foolish actions of your men earlier, do you think Mr. Zhou won’t be angry?” Agfu ended with a mocking smile, whether it was directed at Liya or Antone, it was unclear.

“Alright, you can leave now!” Ignoring Agfu’s mockery, Liya waved his hand wearily.

Agfu didn’t hesitate and turned to leave the room. After he closed the door, Liya took out his phone from his pocket, took a deep breath, and dialed a ’ number.

The call was answered quickly, and a steady, magnetic voice sounded, “Liya, what’s the matter?”

Hearing this voice, Liya took a deep breath, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

Then, he told the other party everything that had happened in the past two days, without hiding anything, even the things arranged by his subordinate, Antone.

“Foolish, you should have told me about this matter as soon as possible, instead of waiting until now. Do you know the identity of the other party?”

“I only know that his name is Zhou Chao, and he’s from Huaxia. His background seems quite formidable, and Abdul seems to be quite wary of him.” After a long silence, the voice on the other end of the phone continued, “I understand. I’ll come to your location as soon as possible. Stay out of trouble!” “Dad, you have to come personally!” Even Liya, at this moment, was shocked.

He never expected that his father would personally intervene.

“A gold mine worth over 600 billion US dollars, do you know what that means? That’s nearly one-third of the entire Russia’s GDP in a year!” The tone on the other end of the phone also became heavier.

It was only at this moment that Liya realized the seriousness of the situation.

“I, I understand!”

There was a slight snort from the phone, and then it was hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Liya realized that his back was already covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, Abdullah and Liya were in completely different states. Abdul was leisurely sitting on the sofa in the hotel room, smiling.

“Father, rest assured, this data is absolutely real. This is the data surveyed by our own mining company’s employees. At the very least, the output value of this gold mine is also over 600 billion US dollars!”

“Okay, I got it. I’ll immediately send your uncle to the Bear Country. We must secure a share of this gold mine, even if it’s only one-third, it’s still a profit for us.”

Father, but the other party may not necessarily need money!” Abdullah still voiced his speculation.

“Are you suggesting that the other party might be interested in exchanging industries or perhaps they’re eyeing our local specialties here!”

Upon hearing the term “local specialties,” Abdullah’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. But thinking about it, it made sense. After all, their oil was indeed a local specialty.

“It’s possible, but I can’t say for sure!”

“I understand. I’ll have your uncle take care of these matters when the time comes.” After saying this, the other side hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Abdullah casually tossed his phone aside and walked towards the bathroom. Upon opening the door, he saw two or three figures frolicking in the bathtub, their backs glistening white..
