Soon, Zhou Chao and his companions traversed through the dense spruce forest and walked through the bushes for about seven or eight minutes. They saw billowing smoke rising about 100 meters ahead. Due to the dense trees, they couldn’t see how many people were there, but it seemed that someone had set up camp.

Just as Zhou Chao was about to continue forward, he felt a grip on his arm from Lin Wu. He heard Lin Wu whisper, “Boss, the situation ahead is unclear. Let Lev and me go check it out.”

“It’s the boss’s order for the two of us to go. If those are illegal miners, there might be conflicts,” Lev added, coming to Zhou Chao’s side as well.

Though they spoke inadvertently, there was a hint of intention in their words. After all, there was a gold mine hidden within Zhou Chao’s ranch territory.

Furrowing his brow, Zhou Chao asked, “Lev, are there many illegal miners around here?”

“Well, it’s not exactly illegal mining, more like prospectors. As you know, Siberia is rich in mineral resources, so there are many prospectors. If they’re lucky, one haul can sustain them for years. So, there are still some adventurous people.”

Zhou Chao nodded in understanding and looked at Lev and Lin Wu, who patted their shoulders and said, “Be careful.”

The two glanced at each other, then proceeded forward with their guns in hand. Watching their skilled movements, Zhou Chao’s heart gradually tightened. After all, any unexpected incident could be fatal.

Soon, Zhou Chao saw Lev and Lin Wu return cautiously.

The man glanced covertly towards the direction of the tent, seeing no activity, then turned back to the other person and said, “Who do you think invited the young master out for hunting?”

“Don’t ask me, who should I ask? Well, let’s stop talking and hurry up with the cooking, or we’ll get scolded again later.”

The two exchanged a helpless glance and continued with their tasks. Meanwhile, the others were all busy with their own duties, completely unaware of the changes around them.

“What are you people doing here, hunting on my territory and setting up camp here?”

A sarcastic voice rang out, catching the attention of several people who were busy cooking. They suddenly looked up and realized that their camp was surrounded by people, each holding weapons, with even the muzzles vaguely pointed at them.

“Don’t move, everyone stay calm. We’re just here for hunting, nothing else,” a man who seemed to be the leader of the group in the tent stepped forward.

“Agfu, what are you doing here?” Lev, who stood behind Zhou Chao, stepped forward, looking surprised at the leader.

“Lev, my good friend, what are you doing here?” Agfu was also somewhat surprised to see Lev among the group.

Zhou Chao looked at the two familiar figures and whispered softly, “Lev, do you know this person?”

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s question, Lev quickly explained, “Boss, this Agfu was my partner back when I was in Team Alpha. After I retired, he joined the security team. He should still be in service, so I’m not sure why he suddenly appeared here.”

Zhou Chao nodded in understanding, then waved his hand, signaling his men to lower their weapons. Lev, seeing this, hurriedly walked towards Agfu. Meanwhile, Zhou Chao’s gaze shifted to the large tent, a meaningful expression flashing in his eyes..
