The workers fell silent instantly, staring at the gun in the blond-haired man's hand, too nervous to speak.
"Damn it, are you guys ever going to shut up?! If anyone says another word, I'll shoot him!" The blond-haired man gripped his pistol and pointed it at one of the workers who had been shouting the loudest. "You were the one who incited everyone, weren't you? Come on, keep talking, and I'll make sure your head explodes!"
The worker pretended to be frightened, but in reality, his right hand was already gripping the pistol at his waist.
Everyone here is not an ordinary worker; they were all replaced by Li Zhanting's subordinates long ago.
Since they've infiltrated this place, they naturally have to put on a convincing performance to avoid being discovered by the wealthy businessman's men!
In the crowd, a thin, dirty face covered in dust saw the pistol on the man's waistband. She immediately raised her hand, attracting everyone's attention. "Hey, hey, big brother, please don't be angry. This bullet doesn't have eyes. Be careful it doesn't go off accidentally."
After saying that, he pushed through the crowd and walked over, pressing the gun down from the blond-haired man's hand.
The person who arrived was none other than Gu Momo, who had disguised herself slightly!
After Li Mo told her some unclear information, she followed the clues to the mining site and rushed over overnight.
To avoid being discovered, she infiltrated the workers' ranks early in the morning, covering her chest with a corset, wearing a tattered white loose vest, and donning a wig, disguising herself as a miner while waiting for her opportunity.
He just didn't expect that these workers were not ordinary people, but were arranged by Li Zhanting from the beginning!
The mastermind hasn't shown up yet. If we alert him first, it will be difficult to catch him and we won't be able to find out the whereabouts of the kidnapped Mandekin.
"Who are you?" The blond-haired man shook off her hand and instantly pointed the gun at her.
"Put down your guns!" In an instant, all the "workers" pulled out their pistols, and the two sides officially began an open confrontation!
Not only were there Li family guards present, but also Gu Momo's men. Seeing Gu Momo with a gun pointed at her head, naturally no one could stand it.
The blond-haired man looked at the crowd with a cold smile, a strange glint in his eyes: "Heh, you workers actually have guns?"
"No, no, no, all of you calm down, put down your guns!" Gu Momo scolded her subordinates, ordering them to put down their pistols.
Although everyone was reluctant, no one dared to disobey her once she had spoken.
Seeing that the situation was somewhat under control, Gu Momo immediately looked at the blond-haired man in a flattering manner and explained, "Big brother, don't misunderstand. We are all honest workers. It's just that, as you know, our line of work is not peaceful, and F country is quite chaotic, so everyone has some weapons on hand."
The blond-haired man looked her up and down. "Are you the leader of these workers?"
Gu Momo could clearly detect a hint of disdain in his tone.
Gu Momo gave an awkward smile. "We're just ordinary workers, trying to make a living. Nobody wants to live on the edge. You stole our goods, and we can't explain it to the buyer, can we? But don't worry, we have absolutely no intention of being your enemy, it's just that..."
Gu Momo stretched out her hand, looked at the blond-haired man meaningfully, and made a "money" gesture.
Huang Mao understood immediately and suddenly burst into laughter, "So you guys want money from us?"
Gu Momo nodded with a smile and laughed along with him, "Big brother, we're all in this together. So many of my brothers depend on me for their livelihood. If you give me a little something, I can explain things to them!"
Just then, a burst of laughter came from behind: "Hahaha, it seems I've met an interesting person today."
Gu Momo's smile vanished abruptly, and a chill ran down her spine.
Her intuition told her that the owner of that laughter must be the mastermind behind Mandekin's kidnapping of her and the killing of fifteen of her men!
She suppressed the rage that made her want to tear him apart, slowly turned around, and finally saw the wealthy businessman, Ala.
Ala was wearing a black trench coat with a belt around her waist. Although she was over fifty, she was well-maintained and didn't look old except for a few forehead wrinkles.
However, his leg seemed to have suffered a serious injury, and he walked with a limp, relying on the expensive crutch on his right hand to move forward slowly.
Gu Momo feigned surprise and looked at the blond-haired man beside her: "Who is this?"
The blond-haired man immediately nodded to Ala in greeting, then replied, "This is our boss, Mr. Ala. You should be familiar with his name, right?"
To be honest, Gu Momo didn't know much about this wealthy businessman, Ala, but she had heard that he had a lot of assets under his control.
However, most of them are underground businesses that can't be brought to the forefront. Although his personal net worth is comparable to Li Zhanting's, he still can't compete with him openly.
Gu Momo feigned surprise and admiration, and immediately nodded, saying, "So it's you, Mr. Ala. I was truly blind to your greatness. Please forgive me."
Ala laughed heartily a few times. "It's alright. I rarely show my face in public, so it's normal that you don't recognize me. I just overheard you talking to my subordinate Jenny. You were saying that I could take this shipment, but I'd need to give you some benefits?"
His words sounded like a question, but they were full of authority and probing. If it were an ordinary person, they might have been too scared to make any further requests after he asked those questions.
