Secretary Cao quickly replied, "Well, Brother Tiger, it's like this. Some time ago, Future Company relocated all of its mines. We don't know where they went. We don't have any news about them either. I guess they're all dead!"
"Huh? They're all dead? I want to see them alive or dead! How can they all be dead? Send people to investigate immediately! I want to see which rat hole these people have crawled into!" Upon hearing Secretary Cao's words, Liu Tianhu was furious.
This wasn't the outcome he wanted. He wanted to see Lu Yuan and Chen Kaiming betrayed by their own men, then helplessly come to him, kneeling and begging for forgiveness. But now he was left with no one to be found. It felt like he had thrown a powerful punch, only to hit thin air, leaving him feeling incredibly frustrated.
Secretary Cao nodded quickly, then ran out of the office, picked up the phone, and dialed Zhao Tinghai.
"Mr. Zhao, Brother Tiger just wanted to know what's going on with the people at Future Company. You should send someone to investigate right away!"
"Okay, I got it. I'll call you when I find out!"
Secretary Cao hung up the phone and sat in her office. Suddenly, a bad thought popped into her mind.
There hasn't been any news of their deaths for so long. Does that mean everyone from Future Company survived? That's impossible. How did they survive without water or electricity?
Moreover, the authorities had already prohibited them from residing there, and the black market had also issued notices cutting off all contact with them. These people disappeared without a trace, and Secretary Cao suddenly had a bad feeling.
After a few hours, Zhao Tinghai called again. Secretary Cao quickly answered the phone, and Zhao Tinghai's anxious voice came through.
"Those guys have set up a new base! Our people can't get through their base right now, they can only watch from the outside, but we've spotted a bunch of people inside a building, including Lu Yuan and his men!"
Upon hearing this, Secretary Cao was struck dumb, collapsing into his chair in disbelief.
"What did you say? They built another base? And there are living people inside? You can't be mistaken, can you? Did someone else set it up?"
"Do you think I would make such a silly joke? These are some photos I just took; you can see for yourself!"
After Zhao Tinghai finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Soon after, several photos appeared on Secretary Cao's phone. He quickly zoomed in on the photos and saw rows of small buildings neatly arranged in the old site of the Rift Valley. The originally rugged roads had been paved into a main road, and dozens of armed guards were on high alert around the main road. Moreover, a lush green meadow could be seen inside.
"What? How is this possible? How did they do that? And there's electricity and water in here, what's with the grass?"
Secretary Cao was shocked and even a little flustered. After all, she had promised Liu Tianhu to put them to death. But after all the outside channels were cut off, Zhao Tinghai sent her a photo of them living a good life. Everyone in the photo had a happy expression on their face, and they seemed to be living quite well.
Thinking of this, Secretary Cao was not only somewhat flustered, but also wondering how to explain to Liu Tianhu when suddenly, Liu Tianhu hurriedly walked in.
Upon seeing Liu Tianhu, Secretary Cao immediately panicked and quickly stood up to try to put his phone away. However, in his haste, he accidentally dropped the phone on the floor, leaving behind a photo that had just been sent to him yesterday.
"Tiger... Brother Tiger, you're here!" At that moment, Secretary Cao was about to bend down to pick up his phone, but stopped when he saw Liu Tianhu.
Liu Tianhu immediately noticed something was wrong with the other person's expression. He frowned, glanced at Secretary Cao, then looked down at the phone on the ground, and said somewhat displeasedly, "I was just about to ask you to prepare a few cars for me. I don't know where you ran off to. What's with this panic!"
As he spoke, Liu Tianhu walked up to the other person, bent down and picked up the phone. The photo that came into view was the one from before. Liu Tianhu frowned and zoomed in on the picture again and again. He saw rows of buildings and a lot of people. The nearby buildings looked particularly new, as if they had just been built. The surrounding environment was exactly like that of the bottom of a valley, with towering cliffs on both sides.
"Secretary Cao, what is this?"
Secretary Cao immediately became as if she had contracted a severe illness, trembling all over and unable to speak. After a long while, she finally said in a shaky voice, "It's...it's the new base of the future company!"
"What? Future Company's new base? Didn't you just tell me everyone was dead? How come there's a new base? What's going on?" Liu Tianhu was furious. He slammed his phone on the table and demanded an answer.
Secretary Cao felt as if the blood in his body had frozen, and sweat kept flowing down his neck and collar, quickly soaking his chest.
Finally, under Liu Tianhu's interrogation, he told the truth. He then knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging, "Brother Hu, Brother Hu, spare my life! Brother Hu, I really have already notified them about this. I don't know how they managed to get the water and electricity connected. It doesn't make sense. We really didn't give them anything!"
