Wait a mont?
What for?
Xu Kuan didn’t say.
Wei Yi didn’t ask.
All the employees, except for the body of the one who was shot in the head, were packed into the vehicles.
Humans are worthless, but at the sa ti, they are quite valuable.
Apart from their traits as higher beings, humans, as an item, actually have many uses.
"Seal it."
Wei Yi ordered to seal off the entire company.
The soldiers imdiately started moving.
Xu Kuan watched with folded arms.
"Vroom vroom vroom..."
The sound of engine roars was heard.
A pickup truck convoy was heading in this direction.
Wei Yi’s subordinates imdiately raised their guns.
"Friendly forces."
Xu Kuan explained.
The Allied Army simultaneously lowered their weapons.
Actually, to be precise, those on the pickups were also part of the Allied Army.
The convoy drove through the gates of the trade company.
Yan Lingjun jumped out of the vehicle, waving his hand, "Unload them."
Then, several prisoners tightly bound were roughly pushed down from the pickups, their clothes tattered and faces bruised, so even staggering as they walked, clearly having suffered violent beatings earlier.
"Mr. Xu, Deputy Officer Wei."
Yan Lingjun approached with the captives.
"We intercepted them at the expected location. They refused to surrender and put up a desperate resistance, engaging in a fierce firefight with us. Two were killed by our forces, the rest are all here."
Yan Lingjun reported succinctly.
No surprise.
These should be the missing and elusive heads of Tongda Trade.
But there’s a question.
What does "expected location" an?
Did they have precise knowledge of these people’s escape plan?
Wei Yi was entirely unaware of this.
"Well done."
Xu Kuan continued to praise, then casually glanced at those unfortunate souls who had failed miserably.
From their appearance, they were all local Myanmar people, with nothing particularly distinctive.
"The prisoners are handed over to Deputy Officer Wei."
Xu Kuan said casually, showing a deanor of strategic foresight from miles away.
"Since Mr. Xu captured them, Mr. Xu should handle them himself."
Even though knowing capturing these individuals could be a significant achievent, potentially leading to a breakthrough in the terror case, Wei Yi didn’t claim the credit.
"Deputy Officer Wei, what difference does it make who caught them? We have a common goal, which is to hope the real mastermind is revealed as soon as possible. Besides, General Jin entrusted this matter entirely to Deputy Officer Wei, we are rely here to assist."
Having said that, Xu Kuan insisted: "Hand them over to Deputy Officer Wei."
The few hapless souls, their faces ashen, were handed over.
"Deputy Officer Wei, you can proceed to the next phase, I won’t disturb you further."
Xu Kuan smiled and then walked towards the pickup convoy.
Yan Lingjun respectfully nodded to Wei Yi, then led his n to follow.
Wei Yi’s subordinates, the Allied Army, lined up on both sides, the pickup trucks turned around and drove out the gate.
Wei Yi stood there, watching the convoy disappear from sight.
Peace Hotel.
Du Enqin was instructing the manager, possibly about the hotel’s managent direction for the new year, then saw Xu Kuan leading his n inside.
"You go ahead with your work."
Du Enqin stopped, sending off the manager, then walked towards Xu Kuan.
They t face to face.
"Mr. Xu."
"Boss Du."
Xu Kuan stopped.
"No wonder I haven’t seen Mr. Xu for a few days, you look travel-weary, just returned from out of town, right?"
"As expected, Boss Du has Fiery Eyes, nothing can escape your discerning gaze."
While chatting and laughing, Xu Kuan turned his head and said, "You guys go up first."
Yan Lingjun led his n away.
Du Enqin smiled, ignoring the departing soldiers, "Although Mr. Xu looks travel-weary, your relaxed brows indicate a good mood. I imagine your trip was quite fruitful."
"Mr. Du doesn’t run a hotel, yet he can read faces?"
Xu Kuan feigned surprise.
"Just a bit. Mr. Du should know that those of us who run hotels pay great attention to feng shui. Every ti I open or renovate a place, I always invite a master for advice. Over ti, I’ve picked up so knowledge in this area."
She truly is a businesswoman, and an excellent one at that.
Truly skilled at smooth talk.
"No wonder Mr. Du’s business is doing so well."
Xu Kuan marveled.
Du Enqin smiled joyously, deliberately glanced behind Xu Kuan, "Wasn’t there supposed to be soone else returning with Mr. Xu?"
"Left it to Deputy Officer Wei."
Xu Kuan replied calmly.
Du Enqin paused slightly, a bit unexpected, hesitated, then still asked, "Why hand it over to Deputy Officer Wei?"
"He’s responsible, who else would I hand it to?"
After speaking, Xu Kuan lightly smiled, "Mr. Du, you do trust Mr. Jiang’s character, right?"
"Of course."
Du Enqin replied without a second thought.
"Then there’s no need to worry. Mr. Jiang always rewards sincerity with sincerity and never lets down anyone who is genuine with him."
"And in fact, it has shown that Mr. Du is extrely sincere, so there’s no need to complicate things. Trust that Deputy Officer Wei will certainly give us a satisfactory outco."
Upon hearing this, Du Enqin suddenly smiled brightly.
"Are all the people around Mr. Jiang as capable as Mr. Xu? I’m beginning to understand why Mr. Jiang has achieved such great accomplishnts."
Xu Kuan shook his head with a smile.
"We’ve learned a lot from being around Mr. Jiang. Mr. Du will gradually understand in the future."
In the future.
His underlying aning was not subtle.
Du Enqin felt slightly reassured, indicating she had been accepted by them.
Aligning with a new power requires more than just the leader’s goodwill, the opinions of those around the leader are crucial too.
And it’s likely that in the future, she’ll deal more with those around the leader, so building good relationships is necessary.
"By handing it over to Deputy Officer Wei, Mr. Xu has it easy, but now Deputy Officer Wei may find himself in a bind."
Xu Kuan remained composed, asking, "Mr. Du seems quite familiar with Deputy Officer Wei. Based on Mr. Du’s understanding, how will Deputy Officer Wei choose?"
"What is Mr. Xu’s opinion?"
Du Enqin kicked the ball back.
The two seed to be playing so kind of riddle ga.
"I’d like to hear Mr. Du’s view."
"Is Mr. Xu testing ?"
Du Enqin joked.
"Seeking advice."
Xu Kuan corrected, taking on a serious deanor, indeed showing so of Boss Jiang’s style.
"Wei Yi is a grateful person."
Du Enqin’s smile slightly retracted, her gaze turned peaceful, serious, and even her way of addressing changed.
"General Jin has saved him, which is why he’s so fiercely loyal to the Allied Army. But history inevitably repeats the cycle of ’when the birds are gone, the bow is put away.’ If he doesn’t want to die, he must be ungrateful."
Xu Kuan seed thoughtful.
Du Enqin looked at him and smiled again.
"All right. I retract my earlier statent. Even if General Jin is a deeply affectionate leader, he has no better choice. General Jin has the grace to allow him a glorious retirent, or other forces would crush him. When fate chooses you, it doesn’t give you room for choice."
Du Enqin paused, seemingly lost in thought, her gaze unfocused.
Turning personal?
"What do you an by ’other forces’? Mr. Du, enlighten ?"
Xu Kuan asked with a half-smile.
Du Enqin raised her hand to cover her mouth, "I didn’t say anything."
Though this woman has an ordinary appearance, she indeed has a unique charm.
It’s not about her overly attractive figure.
"One last question for Mr. Du."
"I won’t hold back."
"Knowing Deputy Officer Wei for so long, are you really just friends now?"
Du Enqin fell silent suddenly, after a while, she revealed a deep smile, openly said, "Mr. Xu thinks people like us can have feelings?"
Xu Kuan nodded in agreent, "Indeed. If lying next to a woman like Mr. Du, one probably wouldn’t sleep well at night."
Du Enqin remained composed, "Is Mr. Xu complinting or criticizing?"
"Of course, it’s a complint. There’s an old saying in Shen Zhou, that a person destined for great things won’t be bound by emotions."
"Aren’t you a Korean, Mr. Xu?"
"Didn’t expect Mr. Du to also take so much interest in ."
Xu Kuan smiled and stepped past Du Enqin.
