Chapter 167 Negotiation



Xu Neng had of course considered the risks of meeting alone, since this was the steel mill's territory, and if they had any ulterior motives, he could very well be besieged.

Having a backup plan is his consistent style.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Neng immediately called one of his men to guard Xia Guoqing, while he himself found a secluded spot not far away and waited for Xia Xiaobao to arrive.

If Xia Xiaobao tries any tricks, it means the deal has fallen through. Xu Neng will then signal to the apostle inside, instructing him to eliminate Xia Guoqing.

Xu Neng, on the other hand, would kill Xia Xiaobao directly and then take over the steel mill.

This plan involves too much killing, and Xu Neng doesn't want to activate it unless absolutely necessary.

He lay in the shadows, hoping that Xia Xiaobao would keep his promise and come alone.

Both the "Ice Society" and the steel mill had their own contingency plans during the negotiations, but Wang Feifei and Xiao Gao were unaware of them and secretly followed Xia Xiaobao.

Based on their conversation, it can be inferred that Xu Neng is currently safe, which puts Wang Feifei and Xiao Gao at ease. Now, all they need to do is find him, and many problems will be solved.

Thinking about seeing Xu Neng soon, Wang Feifei's face secretly turned red. The last time they were so honest with each other, they went crazy all night...

During this meeting, she was so shy that she didn't know what to do. She was so happy inside, like fireworks were going off, but she didn't dare to show it.

Fortunately, Xiao Gao's attention was focused on the man in front of him, and he didn't notice her behind him...

When Xu Neng first met Xia Xiaobao, he was surprised to find that the other party was so young.

His hairstyle was a simple buzz cut, his eyes were exceptionally bright, his physique was lean and strong, and he was neat and efficient all over. You could tell from his appearance that he was no ordinary person.

Xia Xiaobao didn't notice Xu Neng and walked straight ahead. Just as Xu Neng was about to follow, he saw two shadows behind him.

"He really didn't come alone; he brought helpers!" Xu Neng retreated further, a cold glint in his eyes, about to order his men inside to take action...

But then he noticed that the two figures behind him were becoming increasingly familiar...

He held his breath, focused his gaze, and saw that the person walking in front was Xiao Gao, and behind him was—

Wang Feifei!

Xu Neng's temper flared up instantly. How could she come to such a dangerous place!

He rushed over and grabbed Xiao Gao, who was startled and started fighting with him.

Before Xu Neng could speak, he caught a glimpse of an arrow hurtling toward his face!

He instinctively tilted his head, and an arrow whizzed past, grazing his hair...

Wang Feifei is pointing a crossbow at me!

"It's me!" Xu Neng had no choice but to reveal his identity.

The voice was clearly Xu Neng's, and Xiao Gao and Wang Feifei both stopped...

When Xu saw Wang Feifei, the ice on his face melted away, but his heart was quickly filled with tension again. Why did she come to a place like this!

He was about to ask when he heard a cough coming from the room...

Xia Xiaobao, who was inside the room, also heard the commotion outside. He glanced at the ordinary man in front of him, who had none of the aura of the person on the phone!

"Damn it, this isn't him at all. There are other people outside. We've probably been ambushed!"

Thinking of this, Xia Xiaobao coughed loudly once, followed by a second cough...

He decided to immediately launch the candidate program!

Just as he was about to cough for the third time, Wang Feifei rushed over and shouted:

"No! It's not what you think!"

When Xia Xiaobao saw that the person who came was a woman, he was stunned. Who was she?

Before he could react, Xiao Gao pounced on him and tightly covered Xia Xiaobao's mouth, while Xia Xiaobao struggled desperately...

Seeing that Xiao Gao was about to be shaken off, he shouted to Xu Neng, "Don't let him cough!"

Xu Neng reacted and, together with Xiao Gao, held Xia Xiaobao down, but Xia Xiaobao was still struggling desperately.

His father watched from his chair, also making incoherent noises, and the scene became chaotic for a moment...

Wang Feifei ran up to Xia Xiaobao: "It's not what you think. We followed you in. We're looking for someone."

Xu Neng completely guessed what he wanted to do, and said to Xia Xiaobao in a deep voice, "They came to find me, not to deal with you. This is a misunderstanding, and I will handle it."

To put his mind at ease, Xu Neng ordered the others, "I have something to talk to him about, you can all leave now."

The apostle standing next to Xia Guoqing was completely confused and left immediately upon receiving instructions.

Xu Neng glanced at Wang Feifei and said softly, "Go out with him. I'll call you when it's ready."

"Xiao Gao, you go out too and protect Wang Feifei's safety."

The young expert was still covering Xia Xiaobao's mouth, staring at Xu Neng and shaking his head, afraid that if he removed his hand, Xia Xiaobao would cough.

"It's alright, you can go now."

Xiao Gao slowly released his hand, and only left after realizing that he hadn't made any further moves.

After everyone left, the atmosphere between Xu Neng and Xia Xiaobao became somewhat awkward. It was the first time the two had met, and they looked at each other without speaking for a long time.

Xu Neng broke the silence and asked, "Why were you willing to trust me just now?"

"If you really want to kill me, just do it directly instead of covering my mouth."

"Now it's fair, isn't it? You also brought people with you outside, didn't you?" Xu Neng said with a light laugh. "If I'm not mistaken, if you cough again, they should all rush in, right?"

Xia Xiaobao was stunned: "Yes, that's right, and those of you trapped in the boiler area will die too. We have quite a few ways to deal with those who are trapped..."

He looked Xu Neng up and down, and then said, "For example, if you set fire to it, the boiler area isn't afraid of fire, you should know that, but your people might be wiped out."

Xia Xiaobao deliberately emphasized the words "total annihilation".

“Yes, I know,” Xu Neng said, leaning back in his chair in a relaxed tone.

"This is the worst possible outcome. In fact, you probably didn't want things to come to this point, otherwise... you wouldn't have come all this way, right?"

Xu Neng stared intently at Xia Xiaobao: "Let's get back to the main topic and talk about how to make the deal."

Xia Xiaobao had just made some harsh words, intending to intimidate the other party, but the other party didn't care at all, as if he had seen through him.

What an impressive man!

Xia Xiaobao became increasingly interested in him, and he pulled over two chairs: "Sit down!"

Xu Neng sat down calmly, a gesture that signified letting his guard down. Xia Xiaobao followed suit and sat down as well, only then getting a good look at the man.

He was much stronger and taller than me, and his aura was exceptionally powerful. It's not hard to imagine how strong his actual combat power must be.

Thinking back to the phone call earlier, he said he could lead a group of people to rush to the boiler area and break down the door.

Now, Xia Xiaobao believes that he can do it.

"May I have your name?"

"Xu Neng".

"Aren't you going to ask who I am?"

"Hehe, I know you are Xia Xiaobao, the leader of the steel plant."

Xia Xiaobao glanced at Xu Neng with a mocking look: "Your leader was killed, so what... is your identity?"

Xu Neng's eyes suddenly met his, and he slowly said:

"I will be the next leader..."
