"But this is just a temporary solution. If they stay here, they will be a trouble. We must get rid of them." Xue Chen said seriously, his eyes full of contemplation.
Shen Zixi also thinks this is true, but how to get these people to leave here is a problem, and it is very difficult to solve.
Xue Chen actually had an immature idea in his mind, which was to buy the farm next door. Wouldn't that be appropriate?
"I bought it... This is an idea, but the question is, how to buy it? Will they buy it? And once you take the initiative to say that you want to buy it, they will also be suspicious."
Xue Chen naturally thought of the concerns Shen Zixi mentioned, and there was still a lack of a suitable opportunity.
And just when Xue Chen was thinking hard about how to buy the Odin Farm next door, something happened that he didn't expect.
At night, he was lying on the bed reading a book. The wind outside was blowing, but it became more and more peaceful, making people feel very ethereal and comfortable inside.
When he put down the book and prepared to rest, he yawned and glanced out the window. At this glance, he was keenly aware of a faint orange light that was not quite right in the distance.
He jumped out of bed and came to the window. He squinted and looked at the faint light. He used his eagle eyes to see more clearly. Finally, he could vaguely see clearly. It was a blazing fire. The location should be in Odin. Within the boundaries of the farm.
"Fire?"
In his opinion, fires are quite normal. It is already autumn, many grass and trees have dried and turned yellow, but the weather is still quite hot, so fires are nothing.
However, the fire at this juncture is a bit worth pondering, and if I remember correctly, the position of the fire was very close to the direction of the poppy field.
After thinking for a moment, he put on his clothes, opened the window, jumped down lightly, and ran towards the direction of the fire.
He ran all the way, passing through large grasslands, wheat fields, and corn fields, and arrived at the boundaries of Odin's farm. When he approached the fire, he was even more certain that he was within the poppy field.
He stood still some distance away from the fire site. He did not get close. Instead, he used his eagle eyes and clairvoyance to observe. He saw that the scope of the fire was extremely large. It had spread to the size of more than ten acres of land, and the poppy field was Within range!
"Hey, could it be..."
In order to confirm his guess, he moved closer to the place where Odin lived on the farm.
Halfway through, he encountered a pickup truck. He hid in the dark and glanced around, seeing a solemn-looking Claude and two of his men...
In the second half of that night, the relevant departments of Newfoundland's wildfire prevention department discovered that the wildfire had not spread to a very large area, and immediately sounded the alarm. More than a dozen water tankers roared over, and the police lights buzzed. After arriving at Odin Farm, he immediately contacted the owner of the farm and carried out a rescue operation.
After fighting hard in the middle of the night, the fire was finally put out, leaving only some places still smoking.
The Odin Farm also suffered serious losses in this fire. The area affected by the fire was more than thirty acres, nearly one-tenth of the entire farm. Large areas of crops, pasture, and woodland were severely burned and turned into large areas. ash.
That morning, the local TV station promptly broadcast the disaster last night, and Xue Chen and others who were having breakfast saw it.
"Ah, there was a fire at Odin Farm last night?" Gao Dewei exclaimed and stared at the TV screen with wide eyes, which showed the scenes of firefighters putting out the fire, as well as the post-disaster scenes shot all morning.
Shen Zixi looked at Xue Chen subconsciously, and saw Xue Chen shaking his head vaguely.
"Oh, it's really dangerous. Fortunately, the Canadian fire alarm appeared in time, and it doesn't seem to have affected us." Gao Dewei patted his chest, with a look of fear on his face, and then looked at Xue Chen and said, as a neighbor , should I come to the door to comfort him? If I can help in any way, I can also lend a hand.
Xue Chensha nodded matter-of-factly: "That makes sense." In his mind, he was afraid that those people might not welcome him.
The two of them took a pickup truck to the Odin Farm that afternoon, but when they arrived, they were stopped outside by the man named Ankinson, who declined their condolences and said that it was not convenient to receive guests today.
Therefore, neither of them had a chance to enter.
The two stood at the gate, glanced inside, and saw a black Lincoln SUV parked in the yard. It didn't look like a car from Odin Farm.
"What the hell is this? Damn it, we came to help with good intentions, but we were blocked from the door." Gao Dewei muttered dissatisfiedly, not very happy, and felt more and more that the neighbor next door was not very good.
"Okay, maybe it's really inconvenient, let's go back." Xue Chen patted Gao Dewei on the shoulder.
At this time, Odin Farm was indeed not suitable for receiving guests, because Claude was facing someone from the organization, one of his superiors, who came to inspect the situation.
Claude looked sad and said to a man of similar age sitting in front of him: "Mr. Saman, I didn't want to see it either, but I didn't expect that there would be a wildfire, and the poppy fields were also destroyed in the fire. It’s gone, everything is ruined…”
Saman is a man with very fair skin. There is not a trace of beard on his chin. He is very clean shaven. He is wearing a white suit without any wrinkles. It is as smooth as if he has just finished ironing. He is listening to Claude's plaintive voice. At that time, he was still holding a small teacup in his hand and was gently decorating his fingernails. His face was quiet, as if he had not heard Claude's words.
The brief silence made Claude's heart beat fast and he felt vaguely uneasy. The man in front of him made him feel a little uncomfortable. There was no doubt that Saman was a high-ranking person in the organization and had a much higher status than him. Moreover, He has also heard rumors that Saman is responsible for punishment within the organization, such as dealing with undercover agents and traitors, etc...
After more than three minutes, Saman finally finished trimming his nails. After looking at them carefully, he showed a satisfied smile. Then he casually glanced at Claude and said with a smile: "You're lying."
Claude had also experienced many storms. He tried his best to maintain his composure without revealing any flaws. He asked in a low voice: "Mr. Saman, I'm not sure what you are talking about."
"Interesting, I thought it was just a fire, but it seems there are other reasons." Saman said in a casual tone, without even looking at Claude, "I forgot to tell you, the organization plans I sold this farm this year to you. The organization sees that you have stayed here for many years and worked hard without complaint, so it plans to give you a good job."
After hearing the other party's words, Claude's expression suddenly changed.
"But I didn't expect that you made a mistake at this juncture. Therefore, your past achievements are offset by this mistake. So I don't want to ask for specific details. There is no need. You and your people can pack your bags.
, you are ready to leave. In the follow-up, the organization will arrange work for you, and you will continue to be responsible for raw materials in another place."
"You still want me to grow poppies on the farm?" Claude looked unwilling. He had had enough.
Saman stretched out his right hand and waved with one finger: "No, no, no, do you know why this farm has to be sold? Because the value of the farm has increased so much. This farm was bought eight years ago.
It only cost 2 million Canadian dollars, but now it can be sold for more than 30 million Canadian dollars. There are many Asian rich people who like the farm life, and they are almost as good as the raw materials you have provided over the years.
The value created by drugs is about the same.”
Claude was stunned for a while.
"So, in the future, the planting location will not be an expensive farm, but an abandoned remote factory." Saman looked at Claude with a gloomy face with a faint smile, "Mr. Claude,
Don't make such stupid mistakes again in the future. Lies do not exist in front of me. Just now, I made the decision for the organization. If you are willing, you can tell me now what happened.
You actually did such a thing. If you hadn't made a contribution to the organization, you would be a dead person now."
The other party was obviously talking with a smile, but it made Claude feel a chill. After hesitating for a while, he told the truth of the matter in a helpless and aggrieved manner.
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Saman frowned slightly.
"Mr. Saman, I swear, everything I said is the truth. It's all those damn wild boar's fault. I was worried that the organization would punish me, so I did this." Claude was about to cry without tears.
Even Saman couldn't figure out what was going on. In the end, he had no choice but to leave it alone. After explaining a few words to Claude, he stood up and prepared to leave.
When Zai walked out of the room, Saman inadvertently saw the Asian faces of two strangers standing outside the door. At first, he just glanced at it casually, but the next moment, the expression on his face changed drastically.
He looked straight at Xue Chen's face until Xue Chen and Gao Dewei got in the car and left.
"He's not the one... named Xue Chen? Why is he here?" Saman is one of the top leaders of this drug manufacturing and trafficking group. Because he is a powerful superpower, he recognized Xue Chen at a glance.
, because those who have seen photos on the Abyss Forum naturally know the information about Xue Chen.
He was surprised to see Xue Chen here.
"Mr. Saman?" Claude asked in a low voice when he saw Mr. Saman standing motionless at the door.
"Why are those two people who left just now here?" Saman asked with a solemn expression.
Claude said nonchalantly that the two Asians were the new owners of Ethan's farm next door and had been guests the day before yesterday.
Saman couldn't calm down for a long time. Thinking of what Claude said, he faintly smelled something else. (To be continued)
