Chen Er Jie wasn’t someone who was completely clueless.
Otherwise, how could someone like President Chen, rely solely on past favors to entrust important sectors like the Chamber of Commerce’s fund to her?
While Chen Er Jie understood, this matter involved her precious son.
Yet, she still threw a tantrum and said, “I don’t care! Chen Hao, you figure it out yourself. If anything happens to my son, I won’t let you off the hook!”
After sighing helplessly, Chen Hao said in a slightly weaker tone, “Second Sister, I’ve already sent Hai Shan to negotiate!”
“I’ve also prepared plenty of gifts and things, that’s my nephew after all, I won’t just sit back and do nothing!”
“Can you calm down and wait for news with us?”
Chen Er Jie hesitated for a moment before deciding to settle down.
She also knew that the Chamber of Commerce was currently caught in a precarious situation.
Under the supervision of the Federal Government Army, they could only wait for news, there was nothing else they could do.
······
Wu Hai Shan was on his way to Ma Niu Town.
In the car, Duan Si, the younger brother driving, suddenly pointed out the window and exclaimed, “Boss! Look!”
Following his younger brother’s finger, Wu Hai Shan looked out.
He saw a dense number of Federal Government Army soldiers in the woods in the distance.
They seemed to be chasing someone.
“Aren’t those people from the Bo Bei Army?”
After taking a closer look, Wu Hai Shan asserted that the people being chased were not from the Bo Bei Army.
The reason Wu Hai Shan was so certain was because, firstly, the two Bo Bei Army units were converging in Ma Niu Town.
Moreover, it was Commander Li Ding leading the charge.
Given Li Ding’s current influence in Sanbianpo, how dare the Federal Government Army provoke them directly?
Secondly, the actions of those being chased were almost completely lacking in tactics.
However, many Bo Bei Army officers had received systematic training, completely different from the soldiers of regular warlords.
With such a lack of tactical strategy, it was naturally impossible for them to be a Bo Bei Army force.
“Then who could it be?”
As Wu Hai Shan was pondering, his subordinate suddenly said, “Boss Wu, I think I recognize those people being chased!”
“You recognize them?” Wu Hai Shan frowned at his younger brother.
Wu Hai Shan’s younger brother nodded quickly and said, “Yes, Boss, I remember those are people from the Nan Bo Mo Army.”
“The Nan Bo Mo Army?” Wu Hai Shan’s frown deepened.
Now that the Bo Bei Army matter hadn’t been resolved, the appearance of the Nan Bo Mo Army within Sanbianpo obviously made things even more complicated.
However, Wu Hai Shan wasn’t surprised that the Nan Bo Mo Army would come at this time.
The Federal Government Army was being defeated by the Bo Bei Army step by step, naturally, the Nan Bo Mo Army would also want to take advantage of the Federal Government Army’s weakness and grab a piece of the pie.
Wu Hai Shan analyzed, “This should only be the Nan Bo Mo Army’s advance unit, and they were caught by the Federal Government Army.”
He thought to himself, something is wrong.
The negotiation needs to end as soon as possible.
At least quickly take Little Mao Zong back.
Otherwise, with the Nan Bo Mo Army’s involvement, the situation around Ma Niu Town will only become more chaotic.
By then, it will be extremely dangerous and troublesome to enter or leave.
“Rush to Ma Niu Town!”
Thinking about those potential dangers, Wu Hai Shan gave the order with apprehension.
Immediately, his convoy accelerated and headed towards Ma Niu Town.
······
Ma Niu Town.
The adjutant reported to Li Ding, “Commander, the Chamber of Commerce has been controlled by the Federal Police, President Chen is stationed in the Chamber of Commerce, he didn’t come for this negotiation.”
Li Ding shook his head and said, “It seems the Federal Government isn’t completely willing to be a coward.”
“Knowing they can’t beat my Bo Bei Army in a head-on confrontation, they start playing dirty tricks.”
“Unfortunately, they’re playing the wrong cards.”
“Collaborating with the Chamber of Commerce is just for convenience, even if Chen Hao doesn’t agree to cooperate with us, we will still take this path.”
The adjutant nodded, “Commander is right.”
Then he reported to Li Ding, “Commander, there’s another thing you may want to pay attention to.”
“One of our patrol units discovered the Nan Bo Mo Army’s presence in the ditch.”
“And just now, some soldiers reported that there was a firefight in the direction of the Federal Government Army.”
“The soldiers who went out to investigate reported that it seems a small unit of the Nan Bo Mo Army was discovered by the Federal Government Army.”
Li Ding snorted, “The Nan Bo Mo Army’s fighting ability isn’t great, but their ears and nose are sharp.”
“We’ve just made some moves against the Federal Government Army, and they come to want a piece of the pie.”
After thinking for a moment, Li Ding told the adjutant, “It’s fine, they call themselves the Nan Bo Mo Army, but in reality, it’s just a bunch of warlords forming a hodgepodge army.”
“Our plan remains unchanged.”
The adjutant understood. At this moment, Dan Tuo knocked on Li Ding’s door, “Commander! Wu Hai Shan from the Xiang Long Chamber of Commerce has arrived!”
“Guesshu is taking him to meet Mao Pan.”
Li Ding replied, “Tell Guesshu that he is fully responsible for receiving Wu Hai Shan.”
Meanwhile.
Inside the residence where Mao Pan was being held.
Guesshu led Wu Hai Shan to the door.
Looking at Wu Hai Shan who was anxious, Guesshu naturally knew that Wu Hai Shan was currently worried that Mao Pan had already been killed by him.
Guesshu patted Wu Hai Shan on the shoulder and explained, “For the sake of our past friendship, I can’t not give President Chen an explanation, right?”
At this point, Guesshu changed his tone, “But this time, you really went too far.”
“You know, I’m just a small pawn in the Commander’s eyes, I can’t do much either.”
Wu Hai Shan nervously kept wiping his forehead with a tissue, “Where are you talking, Guesshu? We all know that you are now a red man in front of the Commander.”
“This little matter, with our relationship, you can still take care of it, right?”
Guesshu smiled, “Of course, but… I can only save that kid’s life.”
With these words, Wu Hai Shan’s face tightened, but then he relaxed.
No matter what, Little Mao Zong was still alive, he could give an explanation.
As for how badly he was beaten up, and how Chen Er Jie would make trouble afterwards, that was President Chen’s business.
Following Guesshu, Wu Hai Shan entered the residence.
When he saw Mao Pan hanging inside the house, he unconsciously frowned.
Mao Pan was covered in blood, his clothes were torn to shreds by things like whips.
One of his eyes was swollen like a peach, his entire face was beaten so badly that it was several sizes bigger.
It looked quite… funny.
“Little… Little Mao Zong?”
Wu Hai Shan stood in front of him and didn’t even recognize that this was Mao Pan, he could only ask in confusion.
“…En… Why did you just come…” Mao Pan held his breath, but he was no longer as arrogant as before.
Only his eyes held a hatred for Guesshu and Dan Tuo beside him.
It seemed as if he was thinking about how to retaliate once he escaped from here.
But Guesshu ignored it.
After siding with Li Ding, he didn’t even care about the Chamber of Commerce now.
Let alone Mao Pan, this clown.
