On the roof of the building, Zuo Qingcang stood in the wind and scanned the entire Mole City.
"They all agreed to my conditions?" Zuo Qingcang frowned. He didn't talk to the people from the Empire directly. Compared to appearing at the negotiation table, hiding in the dark would make them feel more pressured.
Moreover, he didn't plan to really negotiate from the beginning. He just casually asked for an exorbitant price to buy a few days for Atlantis to prepare and for Jiang Qing's evacuation.
But even under such circumstances, the Empire's representative had already agreed to the conditions he had just issued in the morning and asked for further details.
"Yes, they agreed to pay compensation and remove a few military bases." A Pale Imperial Guard half-knelt behind Zuo Qingcang and said, "They seem to be very sincere. We asked a few ordinary assistants, and the Empire's higher-ups seemed to have given an order to ensure the success of the negotiation. "
Obviously, except for the Ministry of Magic, all the ordinary leaders of the Empire, especially the negotiation team, thought that they really wanted to negotiate. Only this way could they hide it from Atlantis.
Zuo Qingcang frowned and said, "Then add more conditions. Ask their Emperor to write a letter of regret."
"This …"
Zuo Qingcang said casually, "Just say it. How's the thing I asked you to investigate? "
"The woman's name is Zhou Yuting. Her grandfather's generation came to the New World, and three generations of her family were ordinary people in Mohe City."
"So far, no one from the Empire has contacted them. But … "
Zuo Qingcang said lightly, "But what?"
"But in the past six months, Zhou Yuting's father's business has been gradually expanding. He has received several investments from big companies and opened a company in Mohe City. He has become a well-known figure in the area."
"Humph." Zuo Qingcang sneered, "How much does Fei Bai know?"
"Young Master Fei Bai doesn't seem to know." Lin Lecheng lowered his head and said, "Sir, do you need us to get rid of that woman?" After Charle left, he was the captain of the remaining nine Pale Imperial Guards and the one who was directly responsible to Zuo Qingcang.
"Get rid of her? Why do we have to deal with it? He's already in his thirties, yet he's still thinking about such trivial things. We're not his nanny. " Zuo Qingcang said indifferently, "Once you find out that he's in contact with people from the Empire, lock him up and wait for my return." It was obvious that he was going to take Ming Cong away before dealing with him.
"As for other situations, as long as he doesn't die and his life plexus isn't destroyed, he can do whatever he wants."
"That woman … continue to investigate her family. Let's see if it's clean. "
Lin Lecheng nodded but didn't leave. After a while, Zuo Qingcang turned his head and said lightly, "What else do you want?"
Lin Lecheng thought for a moment, but in the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are we really going to negotiate with them?"
Zuo Qingcang turned to look at him. He could see the deep-seated hatred and murderous intent in Lin Lecheng's eyes.
"Family members died at the hands of the Empire?"
"Yes, the Northern Wilderness' fourth siege. Our village was swept away. My parents, my wife, a son, and two daughters were all killed." Lin Lecheng said in a muffled voice.
"Sad?"
"At that time, we cried. Later, we wanted to kill a few more Empire dogs." Lin Lecheng's words were simple, but they revealed a kind of firmness.
Zuo Qingcang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. If you want to fight, then fight. If you want to negotiate, then negotiate. It's not that simple."
"We'll think about negotiating after we've killed enough."
A trace of excitement flashed in Lin Lecheng's eyes. He looked at Zuo Qingcang with a flushed face and nodded heavily.
"Where are Joe and the others?"
Lin Lecheng said, "According to the schedule, they'll reach the grasslands tomorrow." All the airports and planes were controlled by the Empire's big companies. Joe and the others brought Jiang Qing with them. Of course, they couldn't take the risk of taking a plane, even if the possibility of them being harmed was not high.
Zuo Qingcang nodded. When Joe and the others crossed the grasslands, he could also start to move around.
Although he wasn't sure if the Empire was stalling for time and if they were sincere about negotiating. However, Zuo Qingcang was also stalling for time and preparing to make his move.
The one who made the first move would gain the upper hand. Although neither side was sure of the other's intentions, they made the same strategy.
…
There was a knock on the door. Zhou Yuting frowned and said, "I'll open the door."
Fei Bai nodded. His brain was still thinking about how he lost the money. Was it when he lost the money? Or was it when he was searched? Unfortunately, he couldn't see now, so he couldn't tell when it happened.
At this moment, Zhou Yuting's exclamation came from outside the door, "What are you doing?"
"What's wrong, Yuting?" Fei Bai stood up, but because he couldn't see anything, he could only grope his way toward them.
Several white security guards rushed in and began to rummage through the entire room.
Zhou Yuting said angrily, "What are you doing? Is this how you treat hotel guests? "
"I'm sorry, madam." A white man walked in front of her and said in a polite tone with a hint of arrogance, "Ms. Gray on this floor lost a necklace, so we need to check it."
"Check?" Zhou Yuting's chest heaved up and down, "Have you checked every room on this floor?"
"Of course not." The white supervisor frowned and took a step back. It seemed that he didn't want to touch the Central Plains people in front of him at all.
"Then why are you checking us?"
The white supervisor didn't say anything, but a fat middle-aged woman with red hair walked out from behind, "Nonsense, you're the only yellow room on this floor. Who are you checking if not you?" Obviously, this was Ms. Gray who lost the necklace.
Quarreling, cursing, the things in the box were taken out one by one and thrown on the floor casually.
Fei Bai sat on the bed, blue veins popping out on his forehead. He clenched his fists tightly, but did nothing.
"We didn't find anything."
"They must be hiding somewhere else."
The white supervisor looked at Zhou Yuting and said, "I'm sorry, madam, the front desk may have made some mistakes. Our hotel doesn't welcome criminals."
The two sides quarreled again, but in the end, they couldn't stop Fei Bai and Zhou Yuting's things from being thrown out of the hotel one by one.
Listening to Zhou Yuting's incessant complaints, Fei Bai suddenly felt more annoyed than he had ever felt before.
"Alright, stop talking," Fei Bai said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to the village, okay? Let's not care about these things anymore, let's not care about wars anymore. Let's just live out the rest of our lives peacefully and peacefully.
"Don't you want children? Let's have a child. "
Since Fei Bai couldn't see, Zhou Yuting frowned, but in the end, she said calmly, "I'll go with you wherever you go."
Under the illumination of the setting sun, the two of them picked up their luggage and walked out of the city.
