After walking to the end of the corridor, Xie Yao opened the door to the room and led Xu Lin inside.
There were five people in the room. The one sitting in the main seat should be Xie Yao's father, while the other three men and one woman were either standing or sitting.
"I heard about the situation in the villa area from Xie Yao. Did you deal with those people?" said the person sitting in the main seat, exuding an air of authority.
"It was me and my companions," Xu Lin said, neither humble nor arrogant.
"You've come here to cooperate with us?" a man next to him said.
"right."
How do you want to cooperate?
“We will work with you to take care of the private base chief and his forces. After we succeed, the territory and personnel will be yours, and the spoils will be split equally. You cannot touch me or my companions.”
“Do you think we need your help?” another person said.
"The private base chief used to be able to sit on equal footing with the base officials, and now he is burning, killing, and looting with impunity. The fact that you are still here discussing countermeasures without taking action must mean that you have your concerns."
Xu Lin's words were rather tactful, but they hit the nail on the head. The group frowned and exchanged glances.
“We do have our concerns, but what advantages do you have?” another man asked Xu Lin.
"What's the use of just talking about advantages? Only actions matter," Xu Lin said firmly.
“Okay, based on what you said, I agree,” said the only woman present.
"Mom, I told you Xu Lin has guts," Xie Yao said from the side.
It turned out that the only woman present was Xie Yao's mother. Xu Lin thought that anyone who could be in this room was extraordinary, and she must be a capable person.
Afterwards, Xie Yao went out to prepare dinner, while Xu Lin and the five people in the room discussed their plan of action.
At 6 p.m., after they finished discussing their matters, Xu Lin declined the invitation to dinner and prepared to hurry home to find Zhou Pin. He must be getting impatient.
As soon as she stepped out of the compound, she saw Zhou Pin standing at the gate, covered in frost, and she didn't know how long he had been waiting. Xu Lin quickly ran over.
"Didn't I tell you to wait for me at home?" Xu Lin held Zhou Pin's hand.
"I just arrived too." Zhou Pin took the initiative and led Xu Lin back by the hand.
The weather was still very cold, and the roadside was bare. The trees had long since frozen to death and were dragged away by the survivors who had nothing to eat, giving full play to their last bit of life.
Back home, Grandma Wu came out to check on Xu Lin's safe return before going back inside to keep Xiao Youyou company.
Xu Lin sat at the dining table, watching Zhou Pin heat the dishes on the stove before bringing them to her, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
That evening, Xu Lin told Zhou Pin about the situation, and the two discussed it until midnight before going to bed.
This operation required coordination with the base. Xu Lin needed to wait for Sun Wei and his team to return and leave people to guard the area, while the base also needed to mobilize manpower. Therefore, both sides agreed to take action two days later.
To prevent the private base manager from continuing to cause trouble in the villa area, the base has arranged for people to patrol here, and they will not take any rash actions for the time being.
Two days later, Sun Wei and his team returned. They left in one car and returned in two; Minister Sun walked with a swagger.
"Uncle Sun had a good haul this time, both trucks are fully loaded," Xu Lin said as she helped unload the goods.
"Hahaha..." Minister Sun laughed heartily, but then quickly lowered his voice, afraid of being overheard. "This is all thanks to you lending us the car; the supplies in your car are all for you."
"I'm so sorry, but I'll gladly accept it. Please call me again if there's anything like this next time." Xu Lin didn't stand on ceremony.
