"Eight people?" Bell shouted, "What eight people, what are you talking about?"

Actually, he understood very well, but he couldn’t admit it—even searching for these eight people was a heavy burden for him.

"Then just pretend you didn’t understand," He Runxian didn’t want to say more to such people, "I’m just telling you that I can’t handle the goods from Pioneer Bank anymore, don’t come looking for me if anything happens."

"Runxian, wait a moment," President Bell didn’t care about playing tricks anymore. He knew very well what he had done, although he couldn’t directly admit it, he still had other cards to play, so he disregarded being reserved, "Your goods... have arrived?"

At this moment, you still don’t forget to test the waters? He Runxian sneered inwardly, "My goods, I’m not really clear about them... As for your Pioneer Bank’s goods, I’ve heard that it’s quite difficult."

"Hey, hey, listen to me," President Bell still wanted to explain a thing or two, but the other party directly terminated the communication.

Feng Jun was actually quite straightforward in his actions. He first confirmed that Hesheng had successfully shipped the goods before heading to the skies above Zuo Jing City, found Bell’s villa, and directly dropped two people down there.

If there were no accidents, these two people would have been killed by the fall, but... Bell’s villa had defenses not inferior to He Huiqing’s, so gunfire erupted, and the two were riddled like sieves.

President Bell quickly figured out the identities of these two people—they were the ones monitoring cargo in the Dumbbell Star System.

Then he learned that indeed eight people had gone missing that day, and he became greatly anxious—the matter would blow up!

Actually, to him, eight lives weren’t much; this was not a joke, as there were too many lives involved with Pioneer Bank. However, having people hired by Pioneer Bank killed was a significant matter.

No one was really sure about the surviving six, but thinking of the worst is never wrong.

So President Bell immediately contacted He Runxian, but unfortunately, he was on He Runxian’s blacklist and couldn’t get in touch at all.

He promptly contacted He Runqing, actively claiming he was completely unaware of the matter.

Only a fool would believe him, so he pretended to be vague: I don’t know what you are talking about, nor do I understand what’s going on with the Dumbbell Star System’s cargo—isn’t it blockaded by the Insect Race now?

Bell got anxious. If you talk like this, then I can only contact your Hesheng Headquarters, don’t blame me for blowing this up.

He Huiqing paid no attention to him, telling him to feel free to go ahead, not caring even a bit.

Bell, helpless, could only contact President Yin at Xingzheng Star’s headquarters, and explained the situation to him.

President Yin was aware of the plan, but since it involved underground brokers, as the boss of Pioneer Bank on this planet, he would not personally intervene; hence, he tacitly allowed Bell to struggle.

Actually, he was also involved in communications with Pioneer Bank in the Dumbbell Star System, otherwise, Bell alone as the regional president in Zuo Jing would truly struggle to mobilize resources there.

But he hadn’t tracked this matter nor grasped its details—he was yet to clear himself from involvement, instantly angry upon hearing such a change, he reprimanded Bell and then directly contacted He Huiqing.

He Huiqing continued playing Tai Chi, claiming he was unaware—he really couldn’t clarify this matter.

But President Yin’s aura was much stronger, saying that the medicines they sent to local areas and troops, did you honestly believe I didn’t know about them? Don’t push me to the point of turning hostile and doing something bad.

He Huiqing said that the support medicines were from Hesheng’s inventory, could it be wrong for us to support local areas and troops? As for the ’bad things’ you mentioned, we have nothing to hide.

President Yin coldly replied that Hesheng’s support medicines have already become results for Hesheng Headquarters, He Family did this only because someone wanted to run for senator at Capital Star, don’t think I don’t know your motives.

Upon hearing this, He Huiqing became slightly unsettled. Everyone knew that Hesheng was striving to increase their influence at Capital Star, and this time Frontier Star was being attacked by the Insect Race, Hesheng Headquarters was supporting the people of Ancestral Star while enhancing their reputation.

Otherwise, the headquarters wouldn’t specifically emphasize that one-third should be given to the military and local areas.

There was nothing wrong with such operations, but if someone really pursued the details, it wouldn’t be ideal.

Of course, during wartime, improvisations were possible. The frontline brokers were also supplying The Seventh Army’s arms replenishments, but even The Seventh Army found it inconvenient to overly publicize their partners, let alone Hesheng?

Moreover, Hesheng compared to The Seventh Army had another crime—secretly selling mining equipment for Energy Stone Mine, which violated the Federation’s mineral energy management regulations; if really thoroughly investigated, Hesheng would suffer severely.

Of course, this is not something President Yin is capable of, but if this guy casually stirs up trouble and affects the election process for the Capital Star’s council members, Hesheng Headquarters absolutely cannot tolerate it.

He Huiqing understands that President Yin is just saying things casually; if this rascal truly dared to do so, he would have to consider reprisals from Hesheng—the He family has over a hundred ways to make him have an "accident" on this planet.

Therefore, since he dares to say it, he’s essentially not likely to act on it. If he truly plans to do something, it’s even less likely he’ll make it overtly.

However, He Huiqing also knows that the other party has already made threats, indicating that they are indeed urgent. If he continues playing Tai Chi, and the other party really creates chaos, then it would be his dereliction of duty.

So He Huiqing can only indicate that he is unaware of the situation, suggesting that President Yin can reach out to He Runxian to understand more. However... don’t let Bell contact him, as He Runxian has already blocked him.

President Yin has no choice; actively contacting He Runxian is a compromise, but with Bell blocked and others either not qualified or beyond regional lines, he has no option but to take action himself.

He no longer wants to play games and directly contacts He Runxian through a top-secret private line, "What’s going on between you and President Bell?"

"There’s nothing between me and him, but he tries to disrupt certain people’s channels," He Runxian unambiguously replies, "So, any incidents are normal; I don’t want misunderstandings to drag me down too."

Seeing He Runxian make it clear, President Yin cannot avoid the matter—jeopardizing someone’s livelihood is truly taboo.

He can only sigh, "Runxian, negotiate with the other side. This issue arose from Bell’s operational errors; the bank can provide compensation. Hope it doesn’t escalate; two people have already died, it shouldn’t happen again."

"Sorry, that’s impossible," He Runxian refuses instantly. In this brutal state of war, he won’t send any ambiguous signals, "I was almost implicated... provoked others, must be ready for reprisal."

Faced with this attitude, President Yin cannot exert pressure and can only plead, "Runxian, help me this time; it won’t be for nothing. Three thousand people at Pioneer Bank are waiting to be fed."

"Hesheng has twenty thousand people waiting to be fed," says He Runxian without leaving any face, "Bell almost wrecked our livelihood; I was already being generous by just blocking him."

"For Capital Star’s council election matters, Pioneer Bank can offer support," President Yin proposes, "Bell’s error shouldn’t be detrimental to all Pioneer Bank employees, right?"

Represent Pioneer Bank? He Runxian is highly skeptical, but such talk which might hurt one’s dignity he prefers not to say, "Hehe, you now call it an error, this attitude... luckily I distanced myself from your side early."

"What else can I call it, if not an error?" President Yin sighs heavily, "For him to hold a regional president position at his age, there must be someone above. Can I determine his character?"

He Runxian chuckles coldly, "Hehe, really daring to act and not take responsibility, it’s my first time being so disappointed in your Pioneer Bank."

President Yin helplessly makes a face, but the conversation must continue, "How about this, you give my personal contact number to them, I’m welcoming them to reach out to talk, okay?"

"I can’t proactively contact them," He Runxian continues to refuse, sensing the request might short-circuit his role, "If I were you, letting Bell resign for his faults would be a more fitting choice."

"Resign for his faults?" President Yin ponders, then asks again, "Would that allow them to help Pioneer with shipping?"

"This is just my personal suggestion, not a demand from the other side," He Runxian answers sternly, "I’m not even aware of what they intend to do, only know among those eight people, one or two may survive."

"Another death won’t do... would be very troublesome," President Yin adjusts his tone, "The deaths of those two have already placed Pioneer Bank in a difficult position. Oh, I have another question, do you know what they urgently need?"

"What’s urgent is, of course, hard currency," He Runxian laughs eerily, "Anyway, they’re not lacking money; mainly they need to vent, so matters of casualties... my advice is to aim lower."

President Yin initially interpreted "hard currency" as Federation coins. Hearing "not lacking money," he realized what hard currency is, "Alright, I understand, can you provide the other party’s contact information?"

Turns out you Pioneers have a tradition of cutting off people’s income—He Runxian responds candidly, "I already said, no contact information from the other side."

"Alright then," President Yin decides not to discuss further, "Remember to keep in touch in the future."

After ending the call, he intended to arrange Bell for coordination but eventually sighed, "Forget it, I’ll handle it myself... what a mess!"

He reaches out to a superior, who naturally can communicate with Hesheng Headquarters; then, the channels of Hesheng will be utilized to handle the matter.

However, upon hearing about the matter, the superior cannot help but angrily curse, "What a mess! Confident enough to play tricks but don’t know how to be cautious?"

Pioneer Bank is indeed aggressive; using tactics isn’t shameful, being discovered is!
