Chapter 356: It’s Not That We Are Incapable, but That the Enemy Is Too Cunning
Captain Ye Yu’s eyes flickered slightly.
The chubby Wang Jingyao by his side spoke for the captain, “We need to investigate thoroughly before we can be certain if this is framing someone.”
“We came here with Boss Cheng this time to figure out what really happened.”
Yu Bai with a bald head immediately turned fierce, “Chubby, what do you mean?”
“What do you mean by needing to investigate if it’s framing, do you not trust us?”
Fatty Wang laughed and said, “We are the law enforcement team, we always need evidence.”
“Whether you are falsely accused or wrongly blamed, evidence is necessary.”
“It is said that words alone aren’t proof. If everyone simply accused others without evidence, how could our law enforcement team be fair?”
Ye Yu nodded heavily to show his agreement.
Yu Bai wanted to go forward to argue, but Liu Xiao raised his hand to stop him.
Then he smiled.
“That’s good, Teacher Cheng.”
“Your losses will be on my account. How much were your goods worth? Give me a list, and I will reimburse you.”
“What do you think?”
Cheng Fengchun mumbled, “This is almost there.”
Liu Xiao looked at law enforcement team leader Ye Yu, “Captain Ye Yu, Boss Cheng agreed.”
“What do you think about this…”
Ye Yu glanced at chubby Wang Jingyao, giving him a signal.
Fatty Wang immediately understood, smiling, “Then we won’t disturb you.”
“Goodbye, goodbye.”
As the voices outside subsided, several more people squeezed in.
Cheng Fengchun noticed one of them and exclaimed, “Mr. Zhou, why are you here?”
Mr. Zhou shook his head, then grabbed Ye Yu’s arm, “Captain Ye Yu, it’s great to see you here. I just went to the law enforcement team looking for you.”
“You must ensure justice for us. I, old Zhou, worked hard to bring goods from Qingyang. They were about to enter the base, but this person surnamed Liu snatched them away.”
“You said that we could open a shop on his territory and share some profits, and we agreed.”
“But now he is going too far. Just because he fancies something, he snatches it away.”
Liu Xiao’s expression suddenly changed.
Ye Yu looked at him again.
Liu Xiao snorted, “I didn’t do it.”
“Clearly someone is framing me. Normally, I wouldn’t bother, but since it’s Mr. Zhou, I am willing to compensate you for your losses.”
It wasn’t until 1 p.m. in the afternoon that the enforcement team and two bosses were sent away. Liu Xiao paid millions of work points in compensation.
After closing the door, Yu Bai said, “Master, this is clearly a setup. We shouldn’t have to deal with it.”
Liu Xiao shook his head and said, “Ye Yu always wants to find a chance to drive us away.”
“If I don’t pay him back, he will definitely ‘ask’ me to help with the investigation. Then, no matter what business we do, our income will have to be clearly examined by the base.”
Yu Bai suddenly realized why Liu Xiao became so easy to talk to.
Liu Xiao snorted and said, “This must be the work of Red Ghost. This jerk is really playing tricks.”
With a fierce smile, Yu Bai said, “Boss, let me take the brothers out and take down that Red Ghost.”
“Take him down?”
“Just you?”
“Do you think you stand a chance against Zhang Ze?” Liu Xiao said mercilessly.
Yu Bai scratched his head and asked, “What should we do then?”
Liu Xiao hmphed, “Red Ghost is trying to lure me out, don’t be fooled, let him go.”
“If you go, you’ll just be giving him what he wants. I’m not going to do something so foolish.”
“With two incidents like this happening now, you take a few people and notify the Zho and Cheng families, tell them to go to the base and ask for help to clear out the bandits.”
“The base is obligated to protect the residents’ safety and property, unless they want to back out, then they have to deal with Red Ghost for me.”
“I won’t spend that ten million for nothing!”
After taking Liu Xiao’s money, and fearing his influence at Silver Bay Base.
Cheng Fengchun and Mr. Zhou, after being persuaded by Yu Bai, went together to the base office, asking for troops to drive out the bandits.
Silver Bay Base had no reason to refuse, so they agreed and sent a team out that afternoon to search for the so-called bandits.
And just like that, a week passed in the blink of an eye.
During this week, seven or eight merchant caravans were robbed again.
The robbers all carried the banner of Liu Xiao, moving swiftly and efficiently each time.
Moreover, they only injured people and stole goods, never killed anyone.
As a result, whenever they heard the name ‘Liu Xiao’, the caravans would immediately abandon their goods and leave with their people.
Anyway, once they returned to the base, they could ask Liu Xiao for money.
Besides, since these robbers only stole things and didn’t harm people.
It seemed like they were targeting Liu Xiao, so Silver Bay Base turned a blind eye.
Over the years, Liu Xiao had built up a strong influence in the base, showing signs of overtaking the base.
Therefore, Silver Bay Base was very wary of those with the surname Liu, naturally realizing that someone was looking to cause trouble for them.
Anyway, as long as the other party doesn’t kill anyone, Silver Bay Base will send out several teams to deal with the bandits, but they will just pretend and find a safe place to pass the time after leaving the base, and return to the base by dusk, dealing with it like this.
When Liu Xiao’s people come to ask, he tries to make excuses in every possible way.
In short, the principle is ‘if we fail, it’s because the enemy is too cunning’.
Liu Xiao couldn’t do anything about the base, and after a week, he had already lost nearly fifty million in compensation.
If he keeps losing money, he will go bankrupt.
Finally, that evening, Liu Xiao gathered his subordinates and assigned them tasks.
Some were responsible for going out of the city to find out where Red Ghost was, and some were adjusting and preparing the mechas for attack.
In his eyes, this was the worst option, but he couldn’t afford to wait, and the base made it clear that they would not get involved.
He had to do it himself.
Two more days passed.
Early in the morning that day, the sound of mechas moving could be heard from the direction of the mecha parking warehouse.
In the office of the base enforcement team, Ye Yu was brushing his teeth, standing at the window, watching four mechas coming out from the parking warehouse in the distance.
Gurgle gurgle…
Wang Jingyao touched his stomach and said, “Captain, don’t bother looking, Mr. Liu really can’t sit still and wants to go out to solve it himself.”
“Yeah, if I lost 50 million in a week, I would hang myself with a rope.”
The chubby guy added, “But who is this Red Ghost, daring to provoke Liu Xiao like this?”
Ye Yu spat out the foam from his mouth, wiped his mouth with a towel, and raised his left eyebrow.
“Captain, should we go out too?”
“I understand, picking up scraps, I’m good at that.”
The chubby boy exclaimed, but then frowned, “But we don’t have a robot, if we get caught, we’ll be in big trouble, won’t we?”
It was only at this moment that Ye Yu spoke up, “I say, let’s not meddle, let’s eat!”
Wang Jingyao paused, then whispered, “Did I misunderstand?”
“You clearly raised your left eyebrow just now, usually you raise the other one, doesn’t that mean ‘trying to get a deal’?”
“When did it become meddling?”
Outside the city.
In the driver’s cabin of the advanced ‘Butcher’ mecha, a map appeared on the command console, with an abandoned factory marked on it.
Use radar to scan for high energy reactions nearby first, make sure there are no mechas.
In the helmet, Liu Xiao smirked and said, “Fire all cannons, saturate the attack, blast Red Ghost into pieces!”
