Old Sha finally came to his senses and forced himself to say, "Good...good man, you..."

"How dare you!" Qi Xiaowei suddenly shouted, "What do you take us for? Call us Mr. Chen!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Old Sha wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Mr. Chen, what you just said has absolutely nothing to do with us! It was all done by Zhou Xuemin alone, and we are his victims too!"

"Really? So, Deputy Commander Qi and you are in the same boat, 'brothers in misfortune'?" Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Old Sha's cloudy eyes lit up slightly: "Yes, Zhou Xuemin has been hoarding troops without authorization, rebelling against his superiors, and causing chaos in Haidu. He is guilty of heinous crimes and has betrayed the country. We have long wanted to bring him to justice, but we have been hampered by our lack of strength. If you, Mr. Chen, can help us get rid of this villain and restore peace and order to Haidu, the citizens of Haidu will be eternally grateful, and the country will surely reward you with honor and recognition."

"Sha Baojin, you old bastard! I've been feeding and taking good care of you, and you betray me at this time!" Zhou Xuemin finally couldn't contain his anger and roared at Sha Baojin.

His face was ashen, and his eyes blazed with fury, as if he wanted to devour Elder Sha.

Sha Baojin remained unmoved by Zhou Xuemin's anger. He straightened his chest, looked intently at the camera on the drone, and said sincerely, "Although I, Sha Baojin, have been retired for several years, the connections I have accumulated in Kyoto are beyond your imagination. As long as you cooperate with me, you may be able to be incorporated into the regular army of Great Xia in the future and gain the official recognition and support of the country."

“You are a smart man and should understand that in modern society, chaos is never a long-term theme; reconstruction and the restoration of order are inevitable trends. Although you are well-equipped and have considerable strength, you are ultimately just a private army and cannot compete with the state apparatus. Only by being incorporated into the regular military can you truly belong.”

At this point, Sha Baojin revealed a hint of arrogance: "And I am the one who can give you a regular military order!"

At this moment, Sha Baojin was no longer the embarrassed man who had wet his pants earlier. His words were full of confidence and seduction, as if he were the key figure who could influence the situation and determine the future of the "militia corps".
