Chapter 177: Chapter 177: The Buyer Behind the Scenes

Chen Yu was still fiddling with the frying pan in his hands when he saw Bell and Cardanai walk by from the side. His body stiffened instantly.

He had seen Cardanai's photo at Zhou Shengtao's place before, and the bounty on this guy was a staggering eighty million.

A gleam suddenly appeared in Chen Yu's eyes—it was like a walking ATM!

After Cardanai put on his protective suit, he headed to the mine with Bell.

Before long, a large number of workers began carrying ore out of the mine.

Just then, Chen Yu suddenly noticed obvious signs of loosening at the breach he had made earlier.

"Go grab a few more big pots and set them up over there!"

After calling over a nearby chef, Chen Yu walked straight to the corner and began clearing away the rubble, then nonchalantly squatted next to the breach.

Soon, an arm reached up from below, followed by Jin Lingsu's enticing face.

She seemed extremely tense as she climbed out, and if she hadn't recognized Chen Yu's face in time, she might have fired her crossbow.

"Did you calculate exactly when I'd be coming and decided to wait here for me?"

Chen Yu sighed helplessly. The spot he had chosen to set up the big pots had a direct line of sight to this area.

He had thought that Jin Lingsu and the others would have some special plan, but they had simply squeezed their way through the hole.

"I just happened to be here! Hurry inside, I'll get you three sets of clothes."

Jin Lingsu nodded, quickly cleared the nearby sand, and then, along with Katherine and Ka Jinwen, crawled out.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, approached five fully armed fellows nearby.

"Come over here and help out!"

These five, still holding big bowls and wolfing down their food, ran over immediately when Chen Yu called them.

They had eaten Chen Yu's food, and it was so delicious that it was considered an improvement to their meals in this icy, snowy environment.

So whatever Chen Yu asked them to do, they wouldn't refuse.

"Mr. Chen, what can we do for you?"

Looking at the five men in front of him, Chen Yu suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and scratched his nose.

Although these people were under Bell's command, they weren't vicious or evil, and there were no hard feelings between them—he really had no reason to kill them.

"I want to set up five big pots over there. Would you mind digging a few holes for me?"

"No problem!"

The five men cheerfully agreed and, still eating their food, walked towards the breach.

But after just two steps, Chen Yu suddenly grabbed a handful of stones from the ground and threw them, piercing through their necks.

The men hadn't even had time to react before they fell down, their mouths full of food they hadn't managed to swallow.

Jin Lingsu and her party crawled out and immediately found cover, dragging the five bodies with them, then they changed into their clothes.

After making a quick fake scene, Jin Lingsu triggered an explosive device.

A massive explosion rang out instantly, grabbing everyone's attention, and Bell, startled, rushed over.

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. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
