As Li Xiubai's convoy approached, Chen Yu signaled to the soldiers to make way for Li Xiubai and his entourage.
Seeing the militiamen make way for them, the Red Sky Alliance warriors following Li Xiubai became even more arrogant, their noses practically pointing to the sky.
They felt this was a sign of fear from the people at Tianyu Base, and a sense of indescribable pride welled up inside them.
Despite the large number of militiamen at Tianyu Base and their superior equipment.
Their force numbered only about a hundred people, and their equipment was far inferior to that of the militia. Even their combat uniforms lacked basic cold-weather protection. Compared to the militia, they were like candles flickering in the cold wind, on the verge of being extinguished at any moment.
But so what?
The warriors of the Red Sky Alliance possess an indomitable will and unwavering faith.
They believe that, under the leadership of Lee Siu-pak, they can create their own miracle.
The soldiers at Tianyu Base are only relying on their large numbers and superior equipment, but real battles are never determined by these external conditions.
Moreover, if the people from Tianyu Base really dare to make a move, then every one of the 300,000 members of the Red Sky Alliance can take up arms and fight to the death against Tianyu Base.
This potential power is enough to shock anyone.
However, Li Xiubai can say this to his subordinates, but if he truly believes it himself, then their Red Sky Alliance is not far from destruction.
The current Tianyu base is so powerful that it suffocates him; if the other party were to blow a single breath, their Red Sky Alliance would be reduced to ashes.
As the sled approached Chen Yu and the others, Li Xiubo took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and slowly stepped off the vehicle.
His steps were steady, his eyes resolute, as if each step carried the future and hope of the Red Sky Alliance. He knew that this negotiation was not only about his personal honor and disgrace, but also about the life and death of the entire Red Sky Alliance.
"Haha~~! Mr. Chen... I was held up by some official business and kept you waiting." As soon as Li Xiubai got out of the car, he strode toward Chen Yu with his signature warm smile on his face, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
He also extended his right hand, making a gesture as if to shake hands with Chen Yu.
However, Chen Yu continued to look into the distance, seemingly oblivious to Li Xiubai's arrival and overtures.
Li Xiubai's smile gradually faded, but he did not withdraw his hand. Instead, he kept his hand outstretched and said in a more sincere tone, "Mr. Chen, I know that there are some misunderstandings and differences between our Red Sky Alliance and Tianyu Base, but I believe that through our efforts, these can be properly resolved."
"Li Xiubai, you think you're so great? What kind of person are you? Do you think you're qualified to shake hands with my superior?" Lin Lele said coldly, her tone full of disdain for Li Xiubai.
Li Xiubai's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
With a forced smile, he said to Lin Lele, "Secretary Lin, I..."
"Stop trying to get on my good side. How dare you call me Secretary Lin?" Lin Lele interrupted Li Xiubai without any mercy. Her eyes were filled with coldness and disgust. "You people are only able to survive this extreme cold disaster because of the charity of my Tianyu Base. To put it bluntly, you are just a bunch of parasites."
Li Xiubai's expression turned grim again, but he still tried his best to maintain a calm facade, not letting his anger fully show. He knew that at this critical moment, any impulsive action could bring disastrous consequences to the Red Sky Alliance.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then slowly said, "Secretary Lin, you can't say that. Although our Red Sky Alliance survives under the protection of Tianyu Base, we are also doing our best to contribute to this world. We are not just dependents, but partners who face difficulties and resist natural disasters together with Tianyu Base."
Upon hearing this, Lin Lele's lips curled into a cold smile. She glanced disdainfully at Li Xiubai and said, "Partners? Do you deserve that title? Tianyu Base gave you a chance to survive and hope to rebuild your homes. And what did you do? You either stayed at home all day, wasting your time, or you shouted useless slogans and even slandered Tianyu Base. You just wanted Tianyu Base to collapse all the time. What? Do you think you'd be better off if we collapsed?"
Li Xiubai's face grew increasingly grim under Lin Lele's repeated sarcasm, but he remained calm and restrained, preventing himself from losing control of his emotions. He understood that the current argument would only further strain the relationship between the two sides and would not benefit the Red Sky Alliance.
He lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly considering how to respond to Lin Lele's accusations. After a moment, he spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible bitterness: "Secretary Lin, I understand your misunderstanding and dissatisfaction with our Red Sky Alliance. But our Red Sky Alliance is also a democratic organization. As the leader, I cannot forcibly interfere with what the people below say, right? If your Tianyu Base were perfect enough, why would you care about other people's opinions?"
"You...you dare to turn the tables? You, you dare call yourselves a democratic organization? It's a complete joke!" Lin Lele glared at her, her tone filled with anger and disdain. "Don't think I don't know you've been corrupted by power, trying to protect the power you hold in your hands..."
"Alright," Chen Yu stopped Lin Lele from continuing.
He withdrew his gaze and turned to Li Xiubai, his eyes revealing a deep scrutiny.
"Li Xiubai, I don't want to waste words with you. Tell me, how do you plan to resolve this matter today?"
What Chen Yu was referring to was, of course, the incident that morning when the Red Sky Alliance members snatched people from his Tianyu militia.
"Mr. Chen, I really didn't know about this. I only just found out that Yan Cheng sent someone to pick him up..."
"I'm asking you how to resolve this matter?" Chen Yu interrupted Li Xiubai impatiently.
After being interrupted by Chen Yu, Li Xiubai paused slightly, then took a deep breath, appearing even more sincere: "Mr. Chen, I am deeply sorry for this incident. However, it was indeed an accident, and Lei Hu's actions have no direct connection to our Red Sky Alliance. Here's what we'll do: since Lei Hu has been captured, you can handle him according to your rules. At the same time, I will personally supervise to ensure a thorough overhaul within the Red Sky Alliance to prevent such incidents from happening again."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu shook his head: "I wouldn't dare. If word gets back to the Red Sky Alliance, I'll become a villain who bullies the weak and infringes on your sovereignty."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiubai's face flashed with embarrassment. Then, he steeled his resolve, his expression hardening, and whispered a few words to one of the guards behind him.
The guard was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly regained his composure and walked swiftly toward Lei Hu, who was trembling on the ground to the side.
