However, Chen Bin was not very satisfied after hearing Tan Qing's words. The matter was basically cleared up, but no witnesses or physical evidence were found. It was his younger brother Tan Lin who did it. But seeing Tan Qing protecting his brother, Chen Bin suddenly felt a little angry.
"There's no need to look for anyone else. Your brother definitely did it! Although we don't have concrete evidence, the things that went missing always happened while your brother was on duty! Doesn't that prove anything?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Lin immediately became indignant. He ripped open his collar, revealing a dragon head tattoo on his entire chest, and stared intently at Chen Bin with a gangster-like air about him.
"Are you deliberately trying to mess with me? Let me tell you, if I say I didn't do it, then I didn't. If you dare to falsely accuse me again, believe me, I'll beat you up right now!"
Chen Bin was a weak and uneducated man, and he was no match for Tan Lin, a tough guy from the streets. If Tan Lin really wanted to fight, Chen Bin would probably get a severe beating.
Knowing that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, Lu Yuan knew that if he really pushed the other party too far, he might not get away with it on their turf either. So he immediately pulled Chen Bin aside and whispered in his ear, "Let's just leave it at that for now. We can come back when we have evidence!"
Chen Bin knew that there was nothing he could do about things now that things had come to this point. He could only nod resentfully, stare intently at Tan Lin, and squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth: "You just wait, next time I'll definitely catch you red-handed!"
Tan Lin snorted coldly and said, "Fine, then I'll be waiting for you!"
So Lu Yuan took Chen Bin back to his residence.
Back at his lodgings, Chen Bin sat down in a chair, looking sullen. He slammed his hand on the back of the chair and said, "They've gone too far! If they keep doing this, they'll steal everything from us sooner or later!"
Lu Yuan sighed and said, "Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Let's be patient a little longer. We'll strengthen our defenses during this time. Even when it's their shift, we'll send people to keep a close eye on them. We absolutely can't let them continue like this. If we catch them red-handed, let's see how Tan Qing explains himself!"
Chen Bin could only sigh and nod, his anger unable to be vented, his face flushed red but he was helpless.
Over the next few days, Lu Yuan had his men transport the mined coal back to his base.
He didn't tell Tan Qing about this, since energy is similar to food; it would be quite difficult to survive without coal, and Lu Yuan didn't intend to share this with him.
Secretly collecting supplies and then plotting for greater profits later—that's what he wants to do now.
Chen Bin, however, was still unwilling to give up and wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge. In the past few days, he had been sleeping very late every day and would occasionally go to the camp's warehouse to check the supplies.
That day, Chen Bin quietly approached Lu Yuan, looking at him with a delighted expression, and said, "President Lu, I heard some news today. Tan Lin might be leading a group to steal supplies again tonight!"
After listening, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and looked at the other person: "How did you know about this?"
Chen Bin chuckled and said, "Because this Tan Lin is a womanizer. I heard that he found another female celebrity from the camp a couple of days ago and plans to throw a party to have some fun. He did the same thing last time! He'll definitely bring people with him this time!"
Lu Yuan nodded silently. Polygamy, like Tan Lin's, was common in Tan Qing's camp, but fortunately, it had never happened in Lu Yuan's camp.
Because he was very dissatisfied with this polygamous phenomenon and had repeatedly emphasized that such a thing was not allowed in his camp, he didn't care about free love, but anyone who dared to cross the line and keep a mistress would not be blamed for being ruthless. So everyone in the camp was relatively well-behaved.
"That's good. Then I'll go with you tonight. This Tan Qing is ruthless. If things really get out of hand and a gun is fired, it'll be terrible!"
Chen Bin nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely not confront him head-on. This matter must be dealt with properly, otherwise we can't let them run rampant and steal our things. We are not pushovers, and of course we can't be afraid of them!"
After hearing Chen Bin's words, Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. He wasn't the kind of coward who didn't want to provoke others, but that didn't mean he was afraid of others. Even if he couldn't beat them, he would still resort to underhanded tactics. Although Chen Bin looked refined and gentle, he was actually a person who hated evil.
After dinner, Lu Yuan changed into a set of black clothes and took his pistol, just in case. This Tan Lin was definitely not a good guy; it was said that he was a murderer before the apocalypse.
After the apocalypse, he escaped from prison with a group of fellow inmates and killed many people, accumulating more than a dozen lives. Later, a considerable bounty was offered online to capture this fugitive, but those who tried to take him down were all brutally murdered by him.
That evening, Chen Bin led the last shift of people on duty to hand over the duties to Tan Lin's men.
Tan Lin, with a group of men in a nonchalant manner and cigarettes dangling from their mouths, sat down in a chair.
"Alright, it's time for you to leave. This place is under our jurisdiction now, so go do what you need to do and stop getting in our way!"
