After hearing Chen Ziyan say that there would be no further investigation, Li Wu, who secretly rejoiced that he had successfully passed the test, did not notice the trace of ridicule and pity in the eyes of Wu Laogou next to him after Chen Ziyan finished speaking.
When it comes to understanding Chen Ziyan, Wu Laogou undoubtedly knows more than Li Wu, so he knows better than Li Wu what kind of temperament the seemingly young Master Chen in front of him has.
Wouldn’t this be an example next time?
He believed that Chen Ziyan could indeed keep his word and would no longer pursue Li Wu's little tricks, but he was even more certain that Li Wu had no chance to make any more mistakes.
The prerequisite for a next time is that Chen Ziyan will continue to take him to play with him, but based on Wu Laogou's understanding of Chen Ziyan, this possibility is almost slim.
Although this matter could be regarded as a conspiracy between him and Li Wu, Wu Laogou knew one thing very well, that is, his and Li Wu's positions were different.
Although he is still inferior to others now, he is still Chen Ziyan's partner after all, so it is understandable that he should be a little cautious.
But Li Wu is not only a subordinate who surrenders to Chen Ziyan, but he is also the kind who is forced to get on the road halfway due to some external reasons. With his identity playing such tricks with Chen Ziyan, to put it bluntly, he is called the following criminal. It would be weird if there could be a future.
As for Li Wu's thoughts, Wu Laogou could guess a little bit. It was just that he didn't want to put all the treasure on Chen Ziyan, or he wanted to retain some autonomy.
In fact, he also has his own little thoughts, otherwise he would not acquiesce to Li Wu's approach.
But for this kind of thing, Wu Laogou also had a strong sense in his heart. He didn't notice that he didn't say a word that was superfluous from beginning to end. He only expressed his position once at a critical moment, just to avoid annoying Chen Ziyan.
It’s just that Wu Laogou would not tell Li Wu these things. He has a very clear positioning of the two of them. This cooperation is just the product of fate. Whether they can meet again in the future is unknown.
There must be someone in front of us to bear the pressure on this matter, so we can only kill fellow Taoists rather than poor Taoists.
"Let's go, let's go and take a look first."
Chen Ziyan didn't say anything more on this topic. After speaking, he got up and walked towards where the staff gathered.
Before reaching the place, he stopped and looked at Li Wu, and said directly: "Manager Li, please help me identify him."
Since Li Wu played such a trick for him, then he also There's no need to be polite.
Li Wu was a little hesitant, but he still obeyed: "Okay, Mr. Chen, look over there. They seem to be mixed in the crowd, but in fact they are always gathered together."
Although He was very reluctant, but the situation was inferior to others, so Li Wu still pointed to a certain area of the crowd.
At this time, Li Wu vaguely felt that he seemed to have made a wrong decision.
Chen Ziyan didn't care about Li Wu's mood. He looked in the direction Li Wu pointed and saw five staff members standing together there.
These five people are all men, and they all look inconspicuous. Although their facial features are all regular, they give people an ordinary feeling, but their bodies should be very strong, even if they are covered by clothes. Some muscle outlines can be seen.
Just like Li Wu said, these people are indeed standing together, with some distance from the people around them.
When Chen Ziyan looked over, everyone present also looked over.
There is no way, because Chen Ziyan deliberately did this, he and Li Wu did not shy away from any conversation or actions, they just showed it in front of everyone, trying not to attract attention. All difficult.
The people who were the center of attention were no exception, but they were very calm and did not show any abnormalities. They did not care about the eyes of the people around them and just looked at Chen Ziyan indifferently.
Looking at that look, he was waiting for Chen Ziyan’s next move.
Seeing this, Chen Ziyan walked directly in front of a few people and made a 'please' gesture:
"Guys, do you mind chatting?"
Chen Ziyan finally gave up the idea of pretending to be stupid and chose to chat directly with these people.
Regardless of whether the other party is from the Administration or not, it doesn't hurt to have a chat first. Even if nothing is gained in the end, it won't be a waste of time.
As for safety issues, Chen Ziyan is the least worried about this. He has absolute confidence in himself.
“Of course you can.”
Faced with Chen Ziyan’s invitation, a man who looked to be in his thirties among the five people came to Chen Ziyan and agreed with a smile.
This man was originally inconspicuous in the crowd, but now as he moved around, his aura began to change. When he came to Chen Ziyan, there was no need to say anything. Others already knew that he was the one in charge.
"Then please, guys." Chen Ziyan smiled slightly when he heard this, and turned his outstretched hand to a tent not far away.
The man smiled back, and then took the lead in walking towards the tent, with the other four people immediately following behind him.
After a few people left, Chen Ziyan turned to look at Li Wu beside him and said: "Manager Li, just do the rest of the things as you thought before. By the way, remember to bring them back with me. Separate those people.”
The implication is very clear, that is, let him control the remaining staff.
Now that the sudden 'accident' has been ruled out, we can do whatever we want.
After the explanation, Chen Ziyan also walked towards the tent. Wu Laogou on the other side hesitated for a moment, but did not follow. Instead, he turned around and followed Li Wu.
Although he also wanted to listen, he also knew that no matter how curious he was about some things, it was best not to know.
When Chen Ziyan came to the tent, those people were waiting for him at the door and did not go in directly.
Seeing this, Chen Ziyan let a few people in: "Please come in."
Before we can distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, there is nothing wrong with being polite.
After everyone entered the tent, Chen Ziyan looked at the leader and asked, "I don't know what to call you?"
"Lu Ziyu."
The leader said softly He mentioned his name, but he didn't mean to introduce anyone else.
Chen Ziyan didn't mind this either. He nodded slightly and continued to ask: "I wonder what Mr. Lu and a few friends are doing here?"
He did not talk in circles. I was interested, so after a simple exchange, I directly asked my doubts.
"Little Mr. Chen didn't even ask about our origins. I guess he already had a guess in his mind, so he might as well guess our purpose again."
Lu Ziyu did not answer Chen Ziyan's question, but asked instead One sentence.
Little Mr. Chen?
Hearing the name Lu Ziyu, Chen Ziyan’s eyes flickered slightly.
He doesn't mind others calling him this. After all, in a sense, he is indeed the young Mr. Chen from Xiling. Just like Wu Xie in the future, isn't he always called the mistress?
If Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiling bandits of the previous generation, had not been silent and searching for traces for decades, people in the industry would probably call Chen Ziyan that way.
But the problem lies here, because Chen Yulou disappeared from the public for so long, and Chen Ziyan made his debut as a bandit leader, so naturally the industry cannot call him Xiao Chen Lord.
At this moment, Lu Ziyu directly addressed him as 'Little Chen Master', which seemed a little wrong.
Although he didn’t have a deep understanding, judging from Lu Ziyu’s words and deeds, Chen Ziyan didn’t think that he was the kind of person who didn’t know the importance of things, so there was no reason for him to make such a mistake.
This gave Chen Ziyan reason to suspect that Lu Ziyu had some purpose in calling him that.
Chen Ziyan also had some guesses about this. He had two preliminary ideas. One was that Lu Ziyu wanted to use this to give himself a power, so as to gain an advantage in the subsequent conversation; the other was that Lu Ziyu wanted to Yu has been in contact with his uncle, so it's not surprising that he calls himself this.
While thinking, Chen Ziyan chuckled and said: "I think there is no need to guess this question. After all, except for the snake mine, there is nothing worth paying attention to down here."
"It seems that Mr. Chen has indeed guessed our origins." Lu Ziyu also laughed when he heard this.
When he heard the word 'Snake Mine', he knew that the origins of himself and others had been guessed by Chen Ziyan.
After all, Chen Ziyan would not tell this name to people who didn't know its origin.
However, his words also let Chen Ziyan know that they were indeed from the Administration.
“It’s not difficult, isn’t it?” Chen Ziyan spread his hands and asked.
"Indeed." Lu Ziyu nodded, expressed his agreement, and then said: "Since Mr. Chen already knows our origins, there is no need for us to declare our family status, but we are here The purpose here is not a snake mine.”
“What is that for?” Chen Ziyan was a little curious.
In his opinion, only the Snake Mine is valuable here. Although the underground space and passages below are also valuable, they should not pay too much attention to the Administration, which controls countless underground entrances.
Facing Chen Ziyan’s doubts, Lu Ziyu did not show off and directly gave the answer:
“Actually, the purpose of our coming here is very simple, we just want to see you, Mr. Chen. How will we deal with this problem?"
"How to deal with it?" Chen Ziyan captured the key point.
"Yes, the way to deal with it." Lu Ziyu added: "The order we first received was to deal with the problem here, but the order was changed halfway to observe your way of handling it. .”
Although Lu Ziyu was talking about observation, Chen Ziyan didn't know that his task was essentially supervision.
But he doesn't care much. As long as his goal can be achieved, everything else is a sideshow.
But one thing is certain, that is, Li Wu and the Wang family thought they had done everything perfectly, but little did they know that everything had long been exposed to the sight of the administration headquarters.
Even if Chen Ziyan had not intervened, they would not have been able to succeed.
After finishing speaking, Lu Ziyu seemed to have remembered something and asked: "Actually, I also have a doubt. I wonder if Mr. Chen can help me solve it."
"Mr. Lu, please tell me." Chen Ziyan probably guessed something.
Lu Ziyu asked his doubts: "It stands to reason that our disguise is invisible. How did Manager Li see it?"
He noticed that at that time It was Li Wu who identified them to Chen Ziyan, so he was very curious about how the other party did it.
My family knows their own affairs and provides them with disguised objects. Their abilities have been tested, so there is no reason why they would be seen through here.
"I don't know about this, but I can help you ask later." Chen Ziyan really couldn't give an answer to this, so he could only reply like this.
He was just focused on how to solve the problem, so he didn't ask Li Wu how he did it.
However, Lu Ziyu's question reminded Chen Ziyan that it was obviously not easy for Li Wu to see through Lu Ziyu's 'disguise'. Maybe he could take this opportunity to Push Li Wu to the administration headquarters.
According to what he promised Li Wu, when the matter here is finished, he has to find a way to get Li Wu to the headquarters of the administration.
Originally, Chen Ziyan wanted to go through Ding Sitian and have someone at the headquarters of the administration, but Li Wu's previous behavior made Chen Ziyan see this person thoroughly, and he knew that Li Wu would not be willing to accept it. If you have always been inferior to others, your thoughts will fade away.
But the appearance of Lu Ziyu at this moment gave him another idea. If Li Wu showed his value, could he hand Li Wu over to Lu Ziyu?
Anyway, he only allowed Li Wu to enter the headquarters of the administration, but did not specify the method through which he would do so.
Hearing what Chen Ziyan said, Lu Ziyu had no choice but to give up, but he secretly kept Li Wu in mind. After all, this was related to an important tool of their administration, and he had to figure it out. It depends on the reason.
Even in Lu Ziyu's opinion, this matter is more important than the snake mine.
Actually, Lu Ziyu is a little depressed now, because they didn't even want to come out so early.
You must know that supervising in secret and supervising openly are two completely different things.
"Mr. Lu, I don't know what kind of result the headquarters wants?" After putting Li Wu's question aside, Chen Ziyan continued to ask.
Now that he knows the purpose of Lu Ziyu and others, he can no longer just do things according to his own ideas.
The word processing can have many interpretations.
If it was purely a literal meaning, it would obviously conflict with his plan, but Chen Ziyan felt that it was most likely a literal meaning.
After all, whether it is Li Wu’s branch or the seemingly powerful Wang family, they are actually nothing in the eyes of the administration headquarters, and the headquarters has no contact with them at all. The need to be imaginative and conciliatory.
So he had to ask more questions before he could decide what to do next.
After all, the answer is right in front of you, so you have to look at it to show respect.
"Result?" Lu Ziyu said pointedly: "The result the headquarters wants is very simple. It can be summed up in two words - clean!"
"Is it clean?" Chen Ziyan pondered slightly.
Although Lu Ziyu did not mention this clean standard, he was basically certain that cooperation with the Wang family was a no-brainer.
After all, it has nothing to do with cleanliness. To put it bluntly, it is simply seeking the skin of a tiger.
But to be honest, compared to confronting the Wang family head-on, forcing the Wang family to cooperate is indeed the most beneficial solution for Chen Ziyan. (End of this chapter)
