After hearing Chen Ziyan say that there would be no further investigation, Li Wu secretly rejoiced that he had successfully passed the test. He completely failed to 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 Mr. Chen in front of him has.
Will 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 subordinate to others now, he is still Chen Ziyan's partner after all, so it is understandable that he should be a little cautious.
However, Li Wu is not only a subordinate who joins Chen Ziyan, but he is also the kind of person who is forced to get on the road halfway due to some external reasons. Playing such tricks with Chen Ziyan in his capacity, to put it bluntly, is called the following offense, and he can be like that in the future.
It's a strange thing.
Regarding Li Wu's thoughts, Wu Laogou could guess a little bit. It was simply 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.
However, regarding this kind of matter, 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 prevent Chen Ziyan from being offended.
It's just that Wu Laogou won't 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 die for fellow Taoists rather than poor Taoists.
"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 it."
Since Li Wu played such a trick on him, there was no need for him 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 with 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, you can still see some muscle outlines.
.
Just like what 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 was no way, because Chen Ziyan did it deliberately, he and Li Wu didn't shy away from any conversation or actions, they just showed it in front of everyone, it was difficult not to attract attention.
The few people who were the focus were no exception, but they were very calm and did not show anything strange. They didn't care about the eyes of the people around them and just looked at Chen Ziyan indifferently.
From the look on his face, he was waiting for Chen Ziyan's next move.
Seeing this, Chen Ziyan walked straight to 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."
Facing Chen Ziyan's invitation, a man among the five who looked to be in his thirties 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, other people already knew him without saying anything.
He is the one in charge among several people.
"Then please, guys." Chen Ziyan smiled slightly when he heard this and turned his outstretched hand to a tent not far away.
This 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 follow the previous idea for the rest. By the way, remember to separate from the people I brought back."
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 him. 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: "Everyone, 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, "What should I call you?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Lu Ziyu."
The leading man said his name softly, but did not introduce anyone else.
Chen Ziyan didn't mind this either. He nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Then why do Mr. Lu and a few of his friends come here?"
He had no interest in talking in circles, so after a brief exchange, he directly asked his doubts.
"Little Chen didn't even ask about our origins. I guess he already had some guesses in his mind, so he might as well guess our purpose again."
Lu Ziyu did not answer Chen Ziyan's question, but asked a question.
Little Mr. Chen?
Chen Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the name Lu Ziyu.
He doesn't mind others calling him this, after all, in a sense, he is indeed 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 previous generation of Xiling bandits, had not been silent and searching for traces for decades, people in the industry would probably call Chen Ziyan that way.
But here's the problem, because Chen Yulou disappeared from the public for so long, and Chen Ziyan made his debut directly as a bandit leader, so naturally the industry can't call him "Little Chen".
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 of 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 and gain an advantage in the subsequent conversation. The other was that Lu Ziyu had contacted his uncle.
So it's not surprising to call yourself this.
While thinking, Chen Ziyan chuckled and said: "I don't think there is any 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 someone who didn't know its origin.
However, his words also let Chen Ziyan know that they were indeed from the Management Bureau.
"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 ourselves, but the purpose of our coming here is not to be a snake.
mine."
"What's 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, the Administration, which controls countless underground entrances, should not pay too much attention to it.
Faced with 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 how you will deal with this problem, Mr. Chen."
"How to deal with it?" Chen Ziyan captured the key point.
"Yes, the handling method." Lu Ziyu added: "The order we first received was to deal with the problem here, but the order was changed halfway to observe your handling method."
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 just 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 hadn't intervened, they would have been destined to fail.
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."
Lu Ziyu asked about his doubts: "It stands to reason that our disguise is invisible. How did Manager Li see through it?"
He noticed that it was Li Wu who identified them to Chen Ziyan at that time, so he was very curious about how the other party did it.
My family knows their own affairs and provides them with disguises. Their abilities have been tested and 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
Go to the administration headquarters.
According to what he promised Li Wu, when the matter here is settled, 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's way and have someone at the management headquarters. However, Li Wu's previous behavior made Chen Ziyan see this person clearly. He knew that Li Wu would not be willing to be subordinate to others all the time. Then
This thought has faded 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 it up, but secretly kept Li Wu in mind. After all, this was related to an important tool of their administration, and he had to find out the reason.
Even in Lu Ziyu's opinion, this matter is more important than the snake mine.
In fact, Lu Ziyu is also 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 there is no need for the headquarters to compromise with them.
So he had to ask more questions before he could decide what to do next.
After all, the answer has been placed in front of you, so you have to take a 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.
