"You bastard, who told you that Brother Lin is the newcomer?" Brother Luo said with a gloomy face.
"Brother Luo, I...I..." Chi Zhengfei's nose was bleeding. His body was shaking. After a sudden start, he quickly flew over and knelt down in front of Lin Tao, tears streaming down his face: "Brother Lin, we...we were just joking."
"Yes, we were classmates before, and we were just joking." He Fan almost wet his pants, with a tearful look on his face, waving his hands repeatedly: "Really, we were just joking... joking..."
Most people who saw this scene looked at the two with disdain, and were almost laughing at them on the spot.
Lin Tao ignored them. After they showed up, no matter what they said or did, Lin Tao didn't take it to heart. He turned to look at Luo Ge: "Zheng Xun is looking for me? Why not use a watch?"
"Brother Lin, Brother Cheng said that your watch cannot be contacted." Brother Luo quickly explained.
Lin Tao felt strange. Due to the special nature of the watch, the Interstellar Federation had invested a lot in it. Even the old, castrated watches had basic functions such as waterproof, fireproof, and anti-static.
Looking up, Lin Tao was stunned. He saw that the watch that had been soaked in water before, although it had been turned on, its surface seemed to be coated with a thin film, emitting a faint green light.
Seeing this, Lao Ma at the bar counter said quickly, "There is something special in the puddle that can block the signal from the watch."
As he said that, he quickly handed over the rag in his hand. After realizing Lin Tao's identity, Lao Ma's expression immediately changed. He also immediately took out a wide-mouthed cup, poured a glass of high-end drink, and quietly pushed it in front of Lin Tao.
Lin Tao took the rag and ignored the drink. He wiped it a few times before the green light was wiped off. On the rag, there was a layer of strange substance that looked like fluorescent light.
"This is..." Lin Tao's eyes lit up and he quickly ran to the puddle at the door of the bar. He reached out to make the water more turbid, and then scooped up a handful of turbid sewage.
The slightly muddy water flowed back into the puddle from his five fingers. Strangely, this muddy water did not have that green glow.
"That thing is underneath." At this time, Lao Ma also walked to Lin Tao and kept saying.
"Drain the water." Lin Tao gestured.
"Brother Lin, but Brother Xun's end..." Brother Luo swallowed his saliva with a gulp.
Lin Tao frowned slightly, then raised his hand and called Zheng Cheng.
"Lin Tao, where are you?"
Zheng Cheng's voice came out from his watch. When the people around heard it, they were all silent. Chi Zhengfei and He Fan huddled behind the bar, not daring to show their heads.
"What's the matter?" Lin Tao asked back.
"Someone from the Zhao family is here and said they want to talk to you." Zheng Cheng said.
"There's no rush. I'll go back after I've dealt with things here." Lin Tao said, and cut off the call directly.
Hearing Lin Tao's words, Luo Ge suddenly turned his head and looked at Chi Zhengfei and He Fan with a gloomy look. The two men looked as if their relatives had died, and their faces were as dark green as the bottom of a pot.
"Have someone pump out the water immediately." Lin Tao's mind was obviously not on these two people.
Lao Ma responded very quickly: "I have a water pump here."
He hurried back to the bar with his beer belly bulging. Although Lao Ma was fat, he ran very fast. Soon he came back with a water pump in his arms, sweat all over his head.
Luo Ge and others were present and surrounded the door. The drinkers around did not dare to leave. They sat where they were, with nervousness on their faces. Fortunately, there was a glass of good wine on the table. They had to taste the wine in the glass while looking at Lin Tao in confusion.
After a while, most of the water in the puddle was pumped out.
Lin Tao kept looking at the situation in the puddle. The water in the pit was extremely turbid. After most of the water was pumped out, it was still the color of yellow mud, and it was impossible to see the situation underneath.
The pump continued to work, pumping water out of the puddle.
After pumping out some more yellow muddy water, a layer of dark green substance like emerald finally appeared at the bottom of the pit. It was a layer of strange powder-like substance, heavier than water, and it had been deposited at the bottom of the pit.
It must have fallen down before, stepped on this layer of stuff, and floated up accidentally, covering the watch.
As Lin Tao was thinking this, he asked someone to find a long pole, intending to pick up the dark green substance for observation. However, when the metal pole fell down, it failed to pick up the dark green substance.
"This kind of thing is relatively rare on this planet, but experts say that it is a resource of little use." At this time, the fat old Ma wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and explained.
"Useless?" Lin Tao frowned secretly. This thing has obviously shown two characteristics. It is heavier than water and can block radio signals. These two alone have shown its extraordinary properties.
Are those experts just bored?
"Apart from being slightly heavier than water, this thing can only shield radio wave signals. However, if it is used to make signal jammers, the quantity is not large enough, and after coming into contact with electronic equipment, it will automatically adhere to it, so experts dislike this thing very much." Lao Ma explained repeatedly.
It is for this reason that the experts abandoned it after their research. Later, some unscrupulous miners found out about it and put it in this puddle to deal with those disobedient miners.
Although Lao Ma knew this, he was unwilling to offend the miners and get caught, not to mention that it was a thankless task.
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Tao immediately ordered, "Find the things and take them back."
"Brother Lin, I will take care of this. You should go back with us first, so that Brother Xun and the others won't wait anxiously." At this time, Brother Luo spoke quickly.
Lin Tao nodded, stepped over the pit and walked out of the bar.
Not far away, there was a hover car parked.
Brother Luo took Lin Tao to the car and gave a few instructions to the people in the car.
With a whistling sound, the hovercraft turned back quickly.
"Come and help." After Lin Tao left, Brother Luo looked at the people in the hotel and called out.
The drinkers looked at each other, and after a while, several people came out. One of them even nodded and bowed to Brother Luo, and said, "Brother Luo, let me handle this matter. I know how to handle it."
"That's right, you will take over Chi Zhengfei's position tomorrow." Luo Ge seemed to have some impression of this man. He nodded and said, then turned around and looked at Chi Zhengfei coldly, shouting angrily: "You, go to the mine to dig for me tomorrow."
Although Chi Zhengfei is relatively smooth and knows how to behave, who is Lin Tao? Even Brother Xun has to be humble in front of him. Not to mention Chi Zhengfei, even Brother Luo dare not offend such a person easily.
Luo Ge, who was almost tricked by Chi Zhengfei, hated Chi Zhengfei to the core.
"Brother Luo, I will arrange it." The man who was named to replace Chi Zhengfei was extremely surprised, and he forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart.
"Don't worry, I will definitely arrange for him to go to the deepest part of the mine."
When Chi Zhengfei was the leader of the miners, he was arrogant and domineering. Not only did he cheat many newcomers, but he also offended many old miners. Some people had long disliked him. Just like the person whose name was mentioned, he had also been treated unfairly by Chi Zhengfei. At this moment, he patted his chest to make a promise.
When Chi Zhengfei heard this, his face turned pale and he almost fainted on the spot. He Fan's expression was not much better. He had been following Chi Zhengfei and had always played the role of deputy.
"Very good." Luo Ge nodded with satisfaction: "Dig this thing first, and then come directly to the Blood Wolf Gang to find me."
"I understand. I understand. Luo Ge, I will help you keep an eye out in the mine tomorrow. If I find anything like this, I will bring it to you immediately."
"That's right. If you have any difficult problems in the future, just come to me directly." Brother Luo was very satisfied with the man. After giving some instructions, he left.
As for how Chi Zhengfei would be treated after he left, that was none of his business.
Who made him offend Brother Lin?
Blood Wolf Gang headquarters.
"When will Mr. Lin come back?" A young man in a suit and tie, wearing small circle glasses on his nose, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, asked calmly, holding a wine glass.
Hearing this, Zheng Cheng frowned slightly.
Zheng Xun smiled and picked up the wine bottle on the table, personally filling the young man's glass with wine, and said, "Manager Zhao, since you also understand that our Brother Lin is here to do business, so..."
Manager Zhao had a sullen face and didn't say anything, but there were two fierce-looking strong men standing beside him. One of them snorted on the spot: "What can he do? He just seized Mingyuan Star and is afraid that the Interstellar Federation will cut off its resources, so he wants to come to Mineral Star to dig some minerals to take back."
"Don't forget, although you have mineral resources now, if you want to process and treat these mineral resources, if there is no support behind you, you will still have no way." Another person also sneered.
Manager Zhao took a sip of the wine in the glass and did not stop the two men from talking. At the same time, he also glanced at the reactions of Zheng Cheng and Zheng Xun.
"Zheng Xun, you have to think clearly. The current Mingyuan Star is no longer the Mingyuan Star of the past. As long as you surrender to the Zhao family and help the Zhao family take over Mingyuan Star, maybe..."
"What about maybe?"
Just at this moment, Lin Tao walked in lightly, took over the man's words directly, and asked back with slightly narrowed eyes.
Looking at Lin Tao's explosive and terrifying muscles, the man's face changed slightly, and he immediately closed his mouth and didn't say anything else.
Zheng Xun shrugged, Zheng Cheng smiled slightly and said nothing.
Manager Zhao's eyes shone. After looking at Lin Tao for a while, he laughed and changed the subject: "Are you Lin Tao who just took control of Mingyuan Star?"
"How did you know?" Lin Tao's face darkened. According to Zheng Xun, this matter should not have spread on this planet yet.
"Brother Lin, not long ago, several aerospace spacecraft arrived at the mining planet." Zheng Xun reminded him obliquely.
"Oh?" Lin Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, then asked back: "Can you represent the Zhao family?"
"Our master contacted me yesterday. He said that he could give me full authority in this matter for you." Manager Zhao said calmly.
"Oh? About my business?" Lin Tao raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, no matter what conditions you put forward, as long as they are not too greedy, I can agree to them on behalf of the Zhao family."
Manager Zhao took a sip of wine nonchalantly.
