Chapter 132 The Real Purpose
After they chatted for a few more minutes, Gu Nanyu's men came over and brought some food.
There were some self-heating rice and self-heating hot pot, as well as some canned meat and sausages.
After the apocalypse, this is considered very good food.
But Jiang Zhan frowned, brushed all these things aside with disgust, and then took out six dishes, a soup and several bowls of fragrant fried rice from the space.
"Ouch, I forgot you even have room!"
When the aroma of rice came out, Gu Nanyu's eyes widened.
His Adam's apple rolled unconsciously twice.
He wasn't one to indulge in gluttony, but after all, it had been so long since the apocalypse, and he hadn't eaten such fresh meat and vegetables in a long time.
So Qiao Yu and the other four ate their meal and chatted in a disjointed manner, while watching Gu Nanyu wolfing down the food without even bothering to say a word.
"……belch."
Gu Nanyu ate three big bowls of rice before stopping. He slumped in the chair, holding his stomach, and didn't move at all.
If his stomach wasn't so full that it was about to burst, he would have eaten all the dishes.
"How about...we leave some food here?" Qiao Yu leaned close to Jiang Zhan's ear and whispered.
"Don't! Don't do that!" Gu Nanyu, who had sharp ears, heard this and answered before Jiang Zhan could reply, "I appreciate your kindness, sister-in-law. But there are so many people here, no matter how well you hide, you might be discovered. I don't mind it myself, but I'm afraid that someone will associate it with you, which is not a good thing!"
Qiao Yu smiled and said, "No fresh meat or vegetables were left. When we eliminated Yin Zhixiong, we raided his warehouse and took away a lot of food. These were all preserved rice and flour, which wouldn't arouse suspicion."
Gu Nanyu was relieved after hearing this, and his expression relaxed slightly, "In that case, I would like to thank my sister-in-law first."
Then he changed the subject, his tone a little excited, "You... actually wiped out Yin Zhixiong?"
"Um."
Jiang Zhan nodded without further explanation. But after a moment's thought, Gu Nanyu knew what the idiot Yin Zhixiong had done.
"Since Yin Ji and Yin Zhixiong are both dead, who are you working for this time?" Gu Nanyu raised his eyebrows. "Could it be that you have used up all the munitions I gave you before?"
Not really? Weapons aren't disposable, at most they just need to be replenished with ammunition.
But it’s only been a short time, and they’ve used up all the ammunition?
Qiao Yu shook his head and said, "We are doing this for mission points."
"The Mercenary Hunter Center at the G City base issued a mission targeting these weapons. We stumbled upon the team that took on this mission and plan to complete it with them as a stepping stone to joining the base and becoming a Mercenary Hunter."
"But..." Qiao Yu's expression grew serious. "Has the news of your deal leaked out?"
Even if Qiao Yu had never been involved in arms trade, he knew the principle of "keeping wealth private".
Transactions like this are usually kept extremely confidential.
When Ding Baian and the others mentioned this mission before, she just thought that someone at the base had ordered this batch of goods and needed a team to help pick it up and escort it back.
But now they already know that this batch of goods was ordered by Yin Ji, so how did the person who issued this task know the time and place of the transaction?
What was his purpose? Was he just having a problem with Yin Ji and wanted to steal his goods?
If we just want to grab this batch of goods, it would be easy.
But what if the person behind this is not ultimately after this batch of goods, but this factory or Gu Nanyu?
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanyu's expression became slightly heavy.
He had little contact with the higher-ups at the G City base and had only done business with the commanders of two corps. However, every action was kept strictly confidential.
There has never been a problem in all this time.
But unexpectedly, now that Yin Ji and Yin Zhixiong are dead, the transaction was suddenly leaked.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhan also whispered a reminder: "The person who issued the task pointed out the general direction of the factory in the task details, but did not specify the specific location."
"You mean..." Gu Nanyu frowned slightly, "The actual purpose of this mission is to have someone find the location of my factory?"
Jiang Zhan didn't say anything, but the consent in his eyes was obvious.
Qiao Yu nodded upon hearing this, "That's indeed possible. Since this person can publicly issue such a task, he is very likely to have known about Yin Ji's death."
"After Yin Ji's death, if he wanted to take Yin Ji's goods, he could have negotiated with you directly. But he didn't do that now. This means that either this person doesn't know the location here and can't contact you; or it's inconvenient for him to show up and discuss this deal with you directly."
"But based on the detailed description of this mission, I think the former is more likely."
"But even if this person's purpose is to discover the exact location here, there are still two possibilities," Cheng Sinian continued. "The first possibility is that he's a friend, and he's exploring the location to facilitate future transactions with you. The second possibility is that he's an enemy, and he's probably exploring the location... to achieve some ulterior motive..."
Gu Nanyu listened to their analysis without responding. He simply twirled the metal ring on his thumb, a look of deep thought on his face.
"Do you need help?" Jiang Zhan looked at the silent Gu Nanyu, "We will enter the base tomorrow."
Gu Nanyu pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay. Then I'll trouble you with the matters inside the base."
"There are many things that are inconvenient for me to show up in person. With your help, I can feel more at ease."
Jiang Zhan nodded, but his expression remained serious. "It's not just the base. We need to check the people on your side as well."
They killed all of Yin Ji's confidants at that time, leaving no one alive.
It is impossible for a dead person to leak information.
Although it cannot be ruled out that Yin Ji had some confidants that he did not bring out that day, the suspicion of Gu Nanyu's subordinates cannot be ruled out now.
"I understand. Leave the factory to me."
"Then..." Yu Qingchuan hesitated, "Should we do this mission or not?"
"Don't do it yet..."
"Do!"
Qiao Yu and Gu Nanyu spoke at the same time, but their answers were completely different.
Qiao Yu was slightly stunned.
Gu Nanyu raised his eyebrows at Qiao Yu and blinked, "If you can get points, why not do it?"
"Besides... the mission only says to retrieve the weapons. Does it say I have to reveal the address of my factory?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu and the others smiled knowingly.
Yes, as long as we can shut up Ding Boan and the others...
Complete the task and claim the reward, there's no risk for Gu Nanyu either...
