Of the five prisoners taken to the top of Shiban Mountain, four died and one was wounded.

"Sir, what should we do with this traitor?" Lin Lele looked at Li Xiubai, the only survivor who hadn't been hit by a bullet, and said angrily, "We can't let him get away with this. We have to torture him for at least three days and three nights before he dies to vent my anger!"

Chen Yu did not answer Lin Lele, but looked at Li Xiubai with an indifferent expression: "Why do you do this?"

"Chen Yu, there's no need to say more. I only beg you to spare my family the trouble of knowing me. They are innocent." After saying this, Li Xiubai closed his eyes calmly, as if he was ready to face whatever fate had in store for him.

Chen Yu sneered upon hearing this: "When you conspired with them to frame me, did you ever think about your family? You had a perfectly good life, but you insisted on causing trouble with them. Who can you blame for getting to this point today?"

“I…” Li Xiubai was speechless for a moment.

However, he quickly regained his composure, a resolute glint in his eyes: "You're right, Chen Yu, my fate today is my own fault. But I can still tell you now, I did nothing wrong! I saw it all along: you have huge ambitions and will never be bound by the organization! Everything I did was for the organization! It was to set things right!"

"Was it worth it?" Chen Yu frowned. "So many people died for your beliefs."

"To defend the organization, and for the sake of the greater good, sacrifice is necessary!" Li Xiubai's voice was firm and powerful, and at that moment, there seemed to be light in his eyes.

"You know, if the 'Tianyu Base' develops smoothly according to my current plan, this apocalyptic natural disaster will no longer be a threat, and may even provide us with an opportunity to rebuild the world," Chen Yu said in a deep voice. "But you almost ruined everything!"

“Yes, you’ve even merged the people from the branch of the Academy of Sciences. I believe that under your leadership, the ‘Tianyu Base’ will most likely succeed,” Li Xiubai said.

"Then why did you do that?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.

Li Xiubo sneered upon hearing this: "Was this land still part of the Great Xia Dynasty back then?"

"Of course, why would you ask that?" Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.

“But it will no longer be the Great Xia under the leadership of our organization.” Li Xiubai’s voice was tinged with bitterness. “Chen Yu, you are too arrogant. What makes you think that you are the only one in the world who can integrate resources? How can you be so sure that under the leadership of our organization, the ‘Tianyu Base’ will develop worse? Or that more and more ‘Tianyu Bases’ will emerge?”

"Ha~" Chen Yu was so angry that he laughed when he heard Li Xiubai's words.

He waved his hand, deciding not to argue with Li Xiubai any further.

"Li Xiubai, District Chief Li, rest assured, I will not kill your family. Not only that, I will spare your life as well," Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiubai's eyes widened. He stared intently at Chen Yu, his face filled with disbelief.

"Don't worry, I have no ulterior motives," Chen Yu said calmly.

"Why?" Li Xiubai finally spoke, his voice trembling with confusion. He knew that the rift between him and Chen Yu was deep and irreparable, but Chen Yu's words were unexpected.

"Why?" Li Xiubo repeated, seemingly seeking a reasonable explanation, or perhaps trying to confirm whether he had misheard.

Chen Yu did not answer Li Xiubai, but said as if to himself, "Next, you can use all your resources to recruit people in the base. I will not stop anyone who is willing to follow you."

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to kick you out. Since we're not on the same wavelength, trying to get together will only lead to conflict."

“You can think of this as a division of assets, but this land belongs to my ‘Tianyu Base,’ so I definitely can’t give it to you. The factory and such are either the private property of my Tianyu Group or something I painstakingly acquired from outside. How about this, all the supplies in the central warehouse will be yours. This can be considered a peaceful division of assets.”

Chen Yu's words echoed on the top of Shiban Mountain. His voice was calm and without any ripples, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"Chen Yu, you..." Li Xiubai was completely bewildered, "Why did you do this?"

"You have your beliefs, and I have mine. Since that's the case, I'll give you a fair chance to compete with me!" Chen Yu's eyes suddenly sharpened as he stared intently at Li Xiubai. "You're not afraid, are you? Or do you lack confidence in your own beliefs?"

“I… I’ll compete then, what do I have to be afraid of?” Li Xiubo was provoked by Chen Yu’s challenge. He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with an indomitable light.

"Chen Yu, fair competition, that's what you said. From now on, you can't trip me up in any of my actions or gatherings within the base!" Li Xiubai said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, don't worry, as long as you don't force the members in the base, I won't interfere with you." Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "Li Zheng and the others will be back by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. I will also give them advance notice and they won't make things difficult for you. In fact, after they come back, you can go to them to promote your ideas. If anyone is willing to go with you, I still won't stop them."

"Thank you." Li Xiubai cupped his hands in thanks.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yu smiled and waved to Lin Lele, saying, "Send him down the mountain."

Lin Lele stared wide-eyed at Chen Yu in disbelief, her face contorted with anger. "Sir, are you crazy? He treated you like that, and you still..."

"Do as I say!" Chen Yu interrupted Lin Lele, his tone resolute and unquestionable.

Seeing Chen Yu's resolute decision, Lin Lele stomped her feet in anger. However, she knew that Chen Yu's decision was not easily changed, so she had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction, glare at Li Xiubai, and then turn and walk towards the Apapa armed helicopter parked to the side.
