Chapter 197 Talking about Cooperation

Xu Xin was knocked against the wall by the powerful force, and his whole body began to go numb.

His mind was confused and before he could come to his senses, Jiang Zhan's second attack followed immediately.

Xu Xin felt a black screen before his eyes and lost consciousness in an instant.

Ding Baian was brought back to his senses by another strong breeze in the air.

His pupils suddenly shrank, and he stared blankly at the unconscious Xu Xin, swallowing nervously.

This completely confirmed Ding Baian's previous guess.

Really...it's a natural alien!

Jiang Zhan's sharp eyes gently swept across Ding Baian's nervous face, and then gently fell on Qiao Yu's face beside him.

The reason he used his supernatural power in front of Ding Boan and the others was because he had clearly sensed Qiao Yu's energy fluctuations. Even if he didn't take action, Qiao Yu would have taken action.

But now is indeed a perfect time to take action.

Ding Baian was the person chosen by Qiao Yu to help them manage the store.

If they show their strength appropriately now, on the one hand, they can make Ding Baian feel more confident in cooperating with them; on the other hand, it can also have a deterrent effect on Ding Baian's team.

This will greatly reduce the possibility of Ding Baian having other ideas in future cooperation.

As for whether Ding Baian and the others would leak this matter, Jiang Zhan had no worries at all.

Everyone in the base knows the weight of the natural aliens, so they dare not.

And even if they really have the guts, Jiang Zhan has hundreds of ways to make them shut up forever.

Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen saw Jiang Zhan attacking one after another, but Qiao Yu had no intention of stopping him, so they understood that this was Qiao Yu's tacit approval.

So both of them kept silent and watched the show silently.

Seeing Jiang Zhan looking at her with a face full of "seeking praise", Qiao Yu couldn't help but smile inwardly. She raised her hand and touched Jiang Zhan's face as if rewarding him, then turned to Ding Baian and the others and said, "Don't be nervous, Xu Xin just fainted."

Ding Baian clenched his hands nervously. Seeing that Xu Zishan and the others were still stunned, he forced himself to calm down and said to Qiao Yu, "Captain Qiao, you just said you had something to talk to me about. If it has nothing to do with my team members, why don't you let them go back first?"

Qiao Yu nodded, "Of course. Feel free to do as you please."

Ding Boyan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Xu Zishan and the other two team members, "Go back to your room first. We'll talk about anything later."

Qiao Yu and the others had been hiding their special abilities until now, even in the most critical moments. But today, they suddenly revealed their special abilities in front of them.

He didn't think this was just a momentary impulse caused by Xu Xin's anger. They were definitely not such reckless people.

When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something fishy going on.

Since they came to find him, the less involvement of the team members, the better.

If he couldn't satisfy their purpose today, he could at least use the excuse of "not knowing" to protect his team members as much as possible...

Xu Zishan obviously understood Ding Baian's intention, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes, "Captain..."

Ding Baian used his eyes to signal her to stop talking, and pulled the corner of his mouth at her, saying in a soothing tone, "It's okay. Go up first."

Ding Baian breathed a sigh of relief only after watching the three team members, who kept looking back every few steps, return to the upstairs safely. He then looked at Qiao Yu again and said, "Captain Qiao, you came to see me today because you need my help with something?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu did not rush to speak, but glanced at Cheng Sinian first.

Cheng Sinian received Qiao Yu's hint and pretended to take out a pair of car keys from his pocket. He whistled at Ding Baian and threw the keys over. "Old Ding, take it."

Ding Baian was still a little nervous, but his hands were quicker than his brain. When he heard Cheng Sinian calling him, he subconsciously reached out to grab the object thrown at him. After holding it in his hand, he found that it was actually a car key.

"Captain Qiao...what is this...?" Ding Baian was a little confused.

Qiao Yu smiled at him and said, "This is the car given to your team. It's the one parked at the door. You should have seen it when you came back, right?"

"That nine-seater off-road vehicle?" Ding Baian was stunned. "Is it a gift for us?"

"Yes." Qiao Yu nodded again, still smiling.

Ding Baian did see the car, which was parked in front of their villa.

When he came back, he thought that one of the neighbors had no parking space, so he temporarily parked in front of their door. He didn't expect that it was Qiao Yu and others who drove over and gave it to them!

But……

"Why?" Ding Baian tilted his head in confusion, his face full of questions.

"One is compensation, and the other is gratitude." Qiao Yu's expression was sincere. "We forced you to take the previous mission, and it caused you to lose a team member and a vehicle."

"Although I think losing someone like Xu Xin is actually a good thing, the car is indeed a compensation for you. Besides, we are really grateful for your help."

Ding Baian seemed a little bewildered when he heard this, and quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, no... Captain Qiao, you saved our lives, so we owe you a debt of gratitude! And you saved us again on Mingxia Mountain. We didn't do anything to help, but you not only brought all five of us back alive, but also earned us a share of the mission rewards. So, we still owe you... How could we possibly take your things?!"

Ding Baian stood up and wanted to return the key to Cheng Sinian, but as soon as he walked to Cheng Sinian, Cheng Sinian pushed him to sit next to him.

Cheng Sinian placed one hand on Ding Baian's shoulder and with the other hand, pressed down slightly on the arm that Ding Baian was trying to return the key with. He smiled lazily and said, "Old Ding, don't be so quick to refuse. Our captain hasn't finished speaking yet!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Baian calmed down, pursed his lips, and began to look at Qiao Yu nervously again.

The worry that had just been put at ease was lifted up again.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. They really have an agenda...

Seeing Ding Baian's fearful expression, Qiao Yu's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but look helpless. "Captain Ding, there's no need to be so nervous. Although we are not good people, we are definitely not the kind of bad people who rob and bully the weak."

"We came here today not only to give you the car, but also to discuss something else with you. But don't worry, whether the matter succeeds or not, the car will be given to you. You don't have to refuse it, it's what you deserve."

Ding Baian's fingertips unconsciously rubbed the keys in his hand twice, and his tone slowed down slightly: "So... what do you want to talk to me about?"

Qiao Yu's expression became more sincere.

"We want to discuss cooperation with you."
