According to the guards of the "Imperial City", Wu Laosan's sphere of influence is in the east of Xidu City. Satellite detection shows that there is only one other force of any significant size in the east, so it is not difficult to find.

It is located in an industrial park more than 30 kilometers away from Xidu City.

Chen Yu drove the Mighty General sled at high speed and arrived at his destination in less than an hour.

Although Wu Laosan's power was not bad in Xidu, it was far inferior to the powers Chen Yu had met recently.

In the vast industrial park, they only cleared out two factory buildings, indicating that they didn't have many people and their resources were very limited. Satellite reconnaissance showed that they didn't even have a decent weapon.

This is one of the fundamental reasons why Chen Yu dared to go to the meeting alone before the reinforcements arrived.

People inside the factory rushed out immediately upon hearing the engine sound of Chen Yu's sled.

They held various weapons in their hands, staring warily at the sudden appearance of the fierce sled.

The leader was a burly, stern-faced middle-aged man with piercing eyes, his gaze fixed intently on the vehicle in front of him, clearly prepared to respond to any unexpected situation.

Behind him stood a group of armed men dressed in a disheveled manner. Although their equipment was rudimentary, their eyes were firm, indicating that they had all undergone some training.

"Hehe, everyone, don't be nervous, we mean no harm," Chen Yu said with a smile as he slowly rolled down the car window.

"Who are you? We don't welcome outsiders here!" the leading man said in a deep voice.

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Who I am is not important. What is important is that I can help you get rid of that so-called 'Emperor'."

"Hmph, quite the boast. But you've got your hopes up. We've never paid any attention to that clown," the leader sneered.

"Oh?" Chen Yu was slightly surprised. "He's already declared himself emperor, and you don't care?"

"Ha! Why should we care? Let him call himself emperor if he wants to, as long as we have enough food every day." The leader waved his hand dismissively and continued, "Emperor? He's nothing but a joke. Believe it or not, if he dares to deprive us of a single day's food, the people of Xidu can bring him down from his pedestal and make him face reality."

“Uh… alright, but I still want to talk to your leader,” Chen Yu said.

"We don't have any so-called leader. If you need anything, just tell me directly," the leading man said calmly.

"You?" Chen Yu asked suspiciously. "May I ask how I should address you?"

"Everyone calls me Wu Laosan," the leading man replied truthfully.

Chen Yu nodded slightly, then looked at Wu Laosan with a meaningful expression and said, "Laosan, from what you just said, it seems that you also had to put up with that so-called 'Emperor' for some reason?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Laosan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He asked suspiciously, "You're not from Xidu?"

“We are indeed not from Xidu, but rest assured, we have absolutely no ill intentions,” Chen Yu said with a smile. “On the contrary, I can help you get rid of the trouble in the ‘Imperial Capital’ once and for all.”

"Well then, it's not good for you to just stand outside. Get in the car, and let's have a proper chat?" Chen Yu patted the passenger seat.

Wu Laosan stared at Chen Yu for a moment, seemingly assessing his sincerity and strength.

"Third Brother, no! Be careful, it might be a trap!"

"Third Brother, why are we wasting our breath talking to them? Let's just kick them out."

"This kid is definitely up to no good, Third Brother, don't fall for his tricks!"

…………

His underlings all tried to dissuade him.

Finally, Wu Laosan sighed and said, "You should leave."

"Even the legendary Wu Laosan lacks this much courage." Chen Yu shook his head. "Fine, I'll just find someone else to cooperate with."

"Hehe, don't try to provoke me." Wu Laosan smiled wryly. "You're from out of town, you don't understand the situation, it's not as simple as you think."

"If you don't seize the opportunity when it's right in front of you, then I can only say that you're just making excuses for your incompetence." Chen Yu finished speaking and rolled up the car window.

"Wait!" Wu Laosan called out to Chen Yu, "I want to talk to you!"

The group of underlings were shocked upon hearing this and tried to dissuade him.

However, Wu Laosan resolutely opened the passenger side door for Chen Yu and got in.

With the roar of engines, the sleds quickly drove away from the industrial park.

"Hehe, Wu Laosan, I must say, you are indeed quite bold. Aren't you afraid that I might harm you?" Chen Yu laughed.

“You dare to face hundreds of us by your own numbers, while I’m facing four of you by myself, three of whom are women. What do I have to fear?” Wu Laosan said calmly.

"You're quite good at keeping accounts," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"The M-Predator fuel-powered bulletproof version, and it's even been modified for snow conditions. Tell me, who are you people?" Wu Laosan said in a deep voice.

Chen Yu was slightly taken aback, then a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that Wu Laosan could still keep a clear head and notice the details of the vehicle under such circumstances.

He smiled, parked the sled on a vacant snowfield by the roadside, and then took out his appointment letter as the "Commander of the Militia Regiment for Cold Relief and Disaster Relief in Four Provinces and Cities" from his pocket.

"Third brother, do I look like a bad guy?" Chen Yu laughed. "I am the commander of the national 'Cold Relief and Disaster Relief Corps.' Can I bring down your so-called 'Emperor'?"

Wu Laosan frowned: "You're planning a direct assault?"

"Why not?" Chen Yu retorted.

"No!" Wu Laosan shook his head resolutely, his voice filled with unwavering determination. "If a direct assault could solve the problem, Li Dekui would have been dead countless times already!"

"Is the 'Li De Kui' you're talking about the so-called 'Emperor'?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.

"That's right! Li Dehui was originally the warehouse manager of the Xidu Grain Depot. Taking advantage of his innate advantage, he seized control of the grain depot the moment the disaster struck! Later, he even did something as absurd as 'declaring himself emperor,' which is utterly laughable!" Wu Laosan said indignantly.

"That's easy, we just need to seize the granary," Lin Lele interjected.

"It's not that simple," Wu Laosan said with a wry smile. "This Li Dekui somehow got hold of a small nuclear bomb and placed it in the grain depot, keeping a close watch on it. If anyone dares to disobey him or do anything to harm him, he'll detonate the nuclear bomb immediately."

"Although that small nuclear bomb cannot cause too much damage over a large area, it can definitely destroy the grain depot, and then no one will have anything to eat! But if everyone behaves themselves, he will distribute food to each faction regularly. Although it won't be much, at least no one will starve to death."

"Uh..." Upon hearing this reason, the people in the car were all speechless. This Li De Kui was really cunning and extreme. He was using the grain depot to command the princes!
