Chapter 1593 - 898:
"I still question the authenticity of this matter. Bring over the person who escaped back from the north, I want to meet them." David spoke up.
To be honest, he really didn’t want to cooperate with the Jinmu Group from the bottom of his heart.
He had met Director Gao of Jinmu Group, someone who would chew you up and spit out the bones.
Now, coming to him proactively, claiming it’s for everyone’s safety and to resist an enemy that might not even exist, he didn’t believe a word of it.
Bua, hearing David’s response, was a bit frustrated.
Chen Wei and the others had already left to investigate the situation of those people to the north.
They’ve been gone for quite a while now, asking Chen Wei to come back—it’s a joke, isn’t it?
Thus, he had no choice but to say, "He was sent north by Director Gao to check on that troop’s situation."
"Oh, what a coincidence. I also sent some people over this morning to see why the supplies and personnel that were supposed to return yesterday have had no news until now!"
Hearing this, Bua said anxiously, "Mr. David, there’s something I need to remind you of. That troop wiped out all our stations in Kun City, which isn’t far from us."
"They very likely are already on their way to Lai City, and we don’t have much time to prepare. If we wait for your people to come back and report, not to mention if they might encounter that troop and get killed,
consider the time. By the time they return, it will be too late! We won’t be ready, and without a unified force, we’ll all die when that troop comes!"
With these words,
David squinted slightly.
If what Bua said is true, then they truly didn’t have much time left.
But the safest approach is to wait for his own people to return and provide the real answer before making plans.
However, if it’s a plot by Jinmu Group, his own people might also be ambushed and killed, never to return.
David was a bit torn; this was a gamble.
If the Huangle Group had told him these things, he would definitely have believed them.
But it was the Jinmu Group instead, and Director Gao of Jinmu Group had absolutely no credibility. To achieve her goals, she would go to any lengths, with no limits.
Could this be a conspiracy?
But if it’s not a conspiracy, is that troop really as powerful as Bua said, and are they definitely heading south?
Previously, they had looted the north and then scurried back, yet that troop never pursued them.
As David pondered carefully, Bua across from him was already growing impatient.
She still needed to rush to communicate with the Huangle Group, and after that, prepare for battle upon returning.
She didn’t expect the head of Weisheng Group, David, to be so indecisive. How did someone so hesitant end up as the head?
Her eyes shifted—since David didn’t trust her, she would just use reverse psychology.
So she said, "Mr. David, I’ve conveyed the message. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. In any case, we absolutely must prepare for battle. Director Gao’s idea is that as long as we form a unified front, mutual support will suffice. Whether you are willing or not, we can’t help that."
"I’ve delivered the message; we take our leave now."
After speaking, she led a few subordinates towards the door.
As they reached the door, she counted down in her mind.
"Wait a moment."
She gambled correctly!
Sure enough, reverse psychology worked!
Bua shouted joyfully in her heart.
"Tell your Director Gao that we can cooperate. If we see any sign of that troop, we’ll synchronize the information with you. If you get attacked, we’ll come back to support. However, if we are attacked first, I hope you mean what you say and come to support us too."
Bua turned her head and said to Mr. David, "Of course."
Her face beaming with a smile, she cupped her hands in a respectful farewell gesture.
After she left, David sat in his chair in silence for quite a while.
After more than ten minutes, he called out towards the outside, "Someone come."
The person who came in had a goatee.
"Send out the order, full combat readiness, all breaks are canceled, move to Level One alert, and send out two more teams to monitor the surroundings. If any unfamiliar troops arrive, report back immediately."
The man with the goatee frowned. He had also heard about it just now but didn’t believe the Jinmu Group much either.
Facing the leader’s command, he hesitantly asked, "Boss, do we really need to cooperate with the Jinmu Group?"
"Cooperate my ass, but just in case, tightening security a bit won’t hurt." David replied.
Then he added, "Do as I said! Quickly!"
Hearing his boss say so, the man with the goatee wisely refrained from saying anything further and went to carry out the orders.
After leaving the Weisheng Group, Bua turned back to look at the tall walls of Weisheng Group’s compound, exhaling a breath of relief.
The process was complex and winding, but the result was good, and she did not disgrace Director Gao’s trust.
She then led her team to the Huangle Group to conduct the same task they had just done at Weisheng Group.
But the head of Huangle Group was even harder to persuade than David from Weisheng Group.
A massive crisis of trust loomed, especially since a brother of the Huangle Group’s head was married to Director Gao.
And later, Director Gao chopped off that brother!
Since then, the relationship between the Huangle Group’s head and the Jinmu Group became especially strained.
