Chapter 177 - Chapter 177 - 177: The Buyer Behind the Scenes (2/2)
Yesterday’s earthquake had already cost him dearly, and if anything else went wrong, his business would be finished.
When he hurried over, he saw a mass of severed limbs scattered on the ground, while Chen Yu and his three men were lying to one side, apparently having passed out.
This area was already near a corner wall, and due to the earthquake the previous night, a huge crack had appeared on the ground that nobody wanted to approach.
The five people before were just responsible for patrolling this area.
Bell rushed to Chen Yu’s side and pulled him up.
“Mr. Chen, are you alright?”
Chen Yu staggered to his feet and pointed to the chunks of flesh on the ground.
“What’s wrong with your men? Why are they always playing with explosives? I just called three workers to help, and they insisted they were trying to escape…”
After a long and frustrating explanation, Bell actually believed him.
After all, the chunks of flesh on the ground added up to five bodies, two dressed in uniforms and the other three barely clothed, just covered in rags.
Moreover, Bell’s men were fully armed with face masks and sunglasses, unable to see each other’s faces.
And since the number of people patrolling on site was correct, Bell didn’t bother to verify the identities of Jin Lingsu and the two others.
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Chen. I will punish them!”
Chen Yu waved his hand, “The ones you need to punish are already dead. If it weren’t for these three pulling me out, I’d probably have been blown up with them.”
Only then did Bell breathe a sigh of relief and pointed towards Jin Lingsu and her two companions.
“From today on, you three are in charge of Mr. Chen’s personal safety. If something happens, find a place to kill yourself.”
With those words, Bell hurriedly left to continue supervising the workers as they transported the ore out.
It was a business worth more than one hundred billion, and he didn’t want any mishaps.
Jin Lingsu and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, and Katherine moved closer to Chen Yu.
“Mr. Chen, did you see? The person with Bell is Kanai, one of the individuals wanted by world-class organizations. William’s family has also issued a bounty, a whole three hundred million!”
Chen Yu was startled, realizing that Kanai was no longer just an ATM but a walking bank.
“Of course I know him. That guy must be the buyer of the ore. We need to seize the opportunity to capture both of them together, but before that, we must ensure the lives of all workers here, and it would be best if we could rescue all of them.”
Ka Jinwen nodded in agreement, knowing that with plutonium ore all around, a conflict leading to an explosion here would be unthinkable.
But Jin Lingsu was unwilling. She had been stuck in this icy wilderness for a long time and was fed up.
“If you ask me, we might as well just take action and kill them both. After all, the higher-ups didn’t explicitly say whether they needed to be alive or dead.”
Chen Yu immediately rolled his eyes, “We need to have a little patience. I always feel like there’s a bigger fish behind all this.”
“What’s that delicious smell?” Ka Jinwen suddenly leaned forward, sniffing a couple of steps ahead.
When he saw the large pot on the stand, he ran over, excited.
They had been wandering outside for days, eating only deep-sea fish and canned food.
Moreover, in such harsh conditions, everything tasted like chunks of ice, and it had been a long time since he had a warm meal.
He had had enough of this kind of life.
