The man smiled slightly: "Boss Gu, I know you're capable, but they're a team of a hundred. If they're just kicked out like this, the investigation team will definitely investigate the truth. To avoid causing you trouble, why don't you leave these small matters to us? We're more experienced in dealing with tough guys like this."
Gu Wenzhong turned his head, glanced at the other person, and silently nodded.
"Okay, that's fine. I'll leave this to you. It's not convenient for me to get involved. By the way, do a good job."
The man rubbed his hands together obsequiously: "Don't worry, Boss Gu, I know this stuff."
Gu Wenzhong nodded slightly, then took his notebook and left the camp to report to headquarters.
After giving his work report, he went to his office, only to find someone already sitting in his seat when he opened the door.
"You...how did you get here?"
Gu Wenzhong's voice sounded somewhat panicked. He then turned to look outside and, finding no one there, quickly closed the door.
The chair spun around gently, revealing a young man with a scar on the outside of his mouth that made his smile look somewhat menacing.
"How's it going? How's the task I assigned you coming along?"
"Sigh, this Lu Yuan is a tough nut to crack. Should we just let it go and give him a taste of his own medicine?"
"A show of force? Of course not! He caused my family to be destroyed and my family to die. I will remember this grudge for the rest of my life. Now that I have finally found him, of course I want to kill him. But I am not willing to just kill him like this, so of course I will play with him and torture him to death."
The man continued to laugh, his mouth twitching until the muscles on his face became somewhat distorted.
Gu Wenzhong swallowed hard.
“This is too dangerous. The review team is scrutinizing me very strictly now. If they find out that I am deliberately causing trouble, they will remove me from my position.”
"What are you afraid of? Aren't you the one who calls the shots in Group 103? Look at you, with such a lowly mind, what great things can you possibly accomplish?"
Chen Han sneered and then stood up from her chair.
"Is this kid not falling for your tricks?"
"Nonsense, he definitely won't fall for my tricks. But I've already cut off their food supply, and I'm sure they'll be begging for mercy in a couple of days."
"Well, this approach is in accordance with the rules and won't expose me. Just keep playing with him like this for the next few days."
“You can’t come here so directly next time. You’re from the black market and are under investigation, while I’m trying to get into the middle management. If we get too close, we’ll definitely be watched, and my plans to get into the middle management will fall through.”
"Haha, don't worry, it won't affect you. You need friends in the black market too, don't you think?"
Gu Wenzhong's expression was not good, but he did not intend to anger the man in front of him; he was simply too crazy.
Unlike the other person, he had his own urgent goal of entering the middle management level. He accepted this job in order to add a few more entries to his resume.
After chatting for a while, Chen Han sighed softly, "It's been so long since I've seen my old friend. I never expected to meet him like this. Actually, I was quite looking forward to meeting Lu Yuan. I never imagined that he could survive in this apocalypse with his whole family. It really surprised me. By the way, the investigation into him needs to continue. Let me know if you find any new information."
"Alright, I understand. You should leave now," Gu Wenzhong urged him anxiously.
Chen Han smiled slightly, patted the other person's shoulder gently, and then turned and left.
Seeing the other party leave, Gu Wenzhong breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked at a photo left on the table. It showed Chen Han embracing a young man. The two of them were smiling innocently. The man's face looked extremely similar to Lu Yuan's. It was obviously a photo of him when he was young.
"How could childhood friends fall out like this? How did they become such bitter enemies?" Gu Wenzhong silently put down the photo, then sighed and continued to look through Lu Yuan's file and the information of all his family and friends. He would write down any suspicious points he came across.
Lu Yuan returned to the tent, where everyone surrounded him, staring at him with wide eyes.
"This is clearly something they're targeting us with. This time they didn't get angry but cut off our food supply, obviously trying to force us to submit. But I don't think we can submit to them."
Zhou Tong nodded quickly: "That's right, so even if we starve to death, we can't bow down to evil forces. Once we give in this time, who knows how they'll bully us."
"Yes, this Gu Wenzhong seems like a nice guy on the surface, but I never expected him to be so cunning behind the scenes."
Lu Yuan couldn't understand why Gu Wenzhong was targeting him like this. He didn't seem to have done anything wrong. Today was only their first day of work, and the other party was already making things difficult for him.
It was clearly a planned visit. Could it be that no gifts were given? But all the items have already been confiscated. How could gifts have been given?
Lu Yuan felt it definitely wasn't about the gift; it must be a matter of attitude. However, he also felt that he hadn't had any obvious conflict with the other party, and on the surface, things seemed amicable.
