Chapter 59: Quickly Transmigrate! Fate of the Ice Star (XI)
"What are you afraid of?"
Manager Li slammed the table, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, "As long as we do it cleanly and neatly, who can suspect us?"
Manager Li didn't know that Secretary Chen, who was good at getting along with everyone, was not someone he could trust.
A few days later, Shu Yang and Feng Ziang decided to go to Glacier No. 3 for a field survey. For safety reasons, they only brought two experienced engineers with them.
"The energy fluctuations here are extremely strong. It seems that our guess is correct. There may be huge energy hidden here!" Shu Yang said excitedly as he looked at the detector in his hand.
"Yes, if we can successfully develop this mineral vein, the energy problem of the entire colony will be solved!" Feng Ziang could hardly hide his excitement.
However, just as they were preparing for further exploration, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded.
"Oh no! An unidentified person is approaching!" an engineer exclaimed.
Before he could finish his words, dozens of armed men in black combat uniforms and armed with high-energy weapons surrounded him from all directions.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Feng Ziang protected Shu Yang behind him and asked loudly.
"Stop talking nonsense! Hand over your glacier exploration data and I will spare your life!" said the leading man in black with a devilish smile.
"Don't even think about it!" Shu Yang responded fearlessly, "We will never compromise with bandits like you!"
"Then don't blame us for being rude!" The man in black gave an order, and a fierce battle broke out.
Although Shu Yang and Feng Ziang were very skilled, they gradually lost the upper hand in the face of enemies that outnumbered them by several times. At this moment, a high-explosive grenade suddenly rolled to Shu Yang's feet and was about to explode...
"Shu Yang!" Feng Ziang threw Shu Yang to the ground with all his strength and protected him with his own body...
The loud explosion echoed over the glacier, and Engineer Zhao's anxious voice came from the communicator: "Manager Shu, Team Leader Feng, what's the situation over there? Please answer if you hear me!"
However, all they got in response was endless silence...
After the deafening explosion, the world seemed to stop.
Amid the smoke, Engineer Zhao and Wang Botu led the base security team to the scene. They fought a desperate battle with the men in black, with laser beams and energy bullets interweaving into a web of death.
Engineer Zhao calmly commanded the team, while Wang Botu used his rich experience in mechanical modification and the tools he carried with him to modify an abandoned mining robot, making it a powerful assistant on the battlefield.
Under the fierce firepower of the base, the men in black gradually lost their way and began to retreat. Finally, the remaining men in black fled in panic and disappeared in the vast ice field.
Engineer Zhao and Wang Botu rushed to Shu Yang and Feng Ziang and anxiously checked their injuries. "Manager Shu, Team Leader Feng, how are you?"
"Ahem, we're fine."
Shu Yang struggled to stand up. Apart from a slight blow to the head, he was not seriously injured. Feng Ziang's injury was slightly more serious. His arm was scratched by the fragments of the explosion, and blood stained his sleeves.
"Luckily you're all okay, it was really dangerous!"
Engineer Zhao said with lingering fear, "Who are those guys? Why did they attack us?"
"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."
Shu Yang's face was solemn, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "They came prepared, and their target is the new energy vein we discovered."
After returning to the base, Shu Yang and Feng Ziang, who were still in shock, had no time to sort out their thoughts before they received an emergency call from Secretary Chen.
"Manager Shu, Team Leader Shu, I have already found out that the people who attacked you are from the Polar Company!"
Secretary Chen's voice sounded particularly anxious on the communicator. "I also found out that the top executives of Polar Company and Director Li have private contact. They are likely to work together to steal your scientific research results!"
Shu Yang and Feng Ziang looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts. They had long suspected that Manager Li had ill intentions towards their project, and now it seemed that their guess was correct.
"Secretary Chen, thank you for telling us this."
Shu Yang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "We will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and will never let Manager Li and the 'Polar' company succeed!"
"Manager Shu, what are you going to do?" asked Secretary Chen.
“Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger.”
Shu Yang's lips curled up into a confident smile, "Since they want to play, we will play with them. I want to let them know that our things are not so easy to take!"
The next day, Shu Yang called together all members of the project team for an emergency meeting.
At the meeting, Shu Yang looked serious, and scanned the crowd with a determined gaze. He slowly said, "I called everyone here this time because I have something very important to announce..."
Shu Yang took a deep breath, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a firm tone: "Just yesterday, Feng Ziang and I were attacked by armed personnel hired by the 'Polar' company while exploring for new energy mineral veins! They deliberately destroyed our equipment, stole our scientific research results, and even wanted to kill us!"
As soon as the words fell, the conference room was in an uproar. Everyone looked at each other and whispered to each other. No one had expected that the fiercely competitive business activities on weekdays would turn into such a blatant violence.
Manager Li, who was sitting in the corner, had a pale face and flickering eyes, trying to avoid Shu Yang's sharp gaze.
"Everyone, please be patient."
Shu Yang raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. "I have reported this matter to the headquarters and received absolute support from the top management. We will thoroughly investigate this matter and will not tolerate any criminals involved!"
Shu Yang paused, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I know that some people may have colluded with the 'Polar' company and tried to steal the scientific research results of our project. I will give you one last chance. If you confess now, I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, once it is verified, you will be severely punished!"
Shu Yang's words hit the ground with a loud sound, echoing in the conference room, as if carrying a tremendous force, pressing everyone present to the point of suffocating their breath.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Manager Li's forehead. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deeply into the flesh, but he dared not make any sound.
Seeing Manager Li's reaction, Shu Yang sneered in his heart, he knew that he had made the right bet.
He had long suspected that Manager Li had ulterior motives, and now he finally caught him.
"Very good, it seems that everyone has chosen silence." Shu Yang said in a cold tone, "I hope you will not regret your choice today."
After the meeting, Shu Yang and Feng Ziang returned to the office.
"Have you known for a long time that there is something wrong with Manager Li?" Feng Ziang asked.
