Facing a group of angry old drivers, the warehouse leader was also sweating anxiously. He just tried his best to comfort these old drivers and quickly completed the inspection and receiving work. He also kept assuring these old companies. "Don't worry, our company will never allow such a thing to happen... It's most likely a misunderstanding... We will definitely give everyone an explanation."

Even after seeing off these angry old drivers, I was still confused as to why it suddenly happened like this...

"That might be good."

On the way back to the car, Lu Xin was sitting in the passenger seat. He seemed much more relaxed and said to Gao Ting with a smile.

Gao Ting drove the car in silence. After a while, he said, "Thank you."

"This is as it should be."

Lu Xin smiled and said, "Let's see first what kind of punishment their company will give him, and whether it will be severe or not."

Gao Ting glanced at Lu Xin and said slowly "Hmm".

At this time, she also couldn't understand that under the gentle appearance in front of her, there was actually a monster hidden in the young man.

Did he really think so, or was he just pretending to be stupid?

It seems that what he said and what he did had a certain logic and reason, but it was just hard to understand.

Does he really think that Earth Group will definitely punish Zhao Hui?

Think the team won't face retaliation?

However, when things got to this point, she didn't know what to say.

At first, she didn't pay much attention to reporting this matter, but now it seems that the scene is indeed bigger than expected.

She was now worried about something else.

"I also wanted to find out what he said just now."

After a while, Gao Ting said softly, "I suspect that if our team was really sent to White Tower Town on purpose, then Zhao Hui might know something. I originally wanted to provoke him to see if I could come up with any key words, but he was very wary and didn't say anything. But from his reaction, I can feel that he does seem to be hiding something."

"For example, he was angry..."

"Are you angry because I ruined my body?"

She said and sneered, "This is not the first time that he knows that I am ruining my body, why is he so angry?"

"Huh?"

Lu Xin couldn't help but turn his head and glance at her. "This woman has her own way..."

Just now at the warehouse, seeing her hanging her head and letting herself be bullied, I thought she had been frightened out of her wits.

"So, the thing may be like this, because you were not good to yourself and angered him, so he simply arranged for your fleet to enter White Tower Town out of revenge or for other reasons... For him, this should be a very simple matter. Just set the delivery date in advance, and you will naturally take the initiative to deliver it to his door. But, is it worth it for him to do this for such a small thing?"

"Zhao Hui is a very possessive and petty person, but it seems... that's not the case."

Gao Ting tried his best to think back and said, "Perhaps, there are other reasons."

Lu Xin nodded, turned his head slightly and said, "Could it be related to the goods you transported?"

He had thought about this a long time ago. Was it just because someone wanted to feed these drivers to those lunatics that the convoy arrived so coincidentally? Or is it that someone had planned from the beginning that even these drivers and the goods they brought were what White Tower Town wanted?

"It stands to reason that what we are hauling is just some ores that are quite common in Hongling. It shouldn't be..."

Gao Ting frowned. His first reaction was that he shouldn't, but he wasn't particularly sure.

"It's a pity that the goods have been delivered..."

Lu Xin smiled, looked at Gao Ting and said.

Gao Ting was silent for a moment, took out a coarse cloth backpack from under the driver's seat, put it next to Lu Xin, and said, "There are still some samples left here. Ever since White Tower Town was released, I have been uneasy in my heart. Although until now, I can't think of any relationship here, but I still set some aside in advance to avoid needing it later... Maybe I can ask someone knowledgeable to take a look."

"Awesome..."

Lu Xin looked at her approvingly, picked up his bag, and said, "On the way here, I also stole... a piece."

Gao Ting took a deep look at Lu Xin, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he turned around and drove seriously.

But when she turned her head to look forward, the peripheral vision of her eyes happened to catch a red figure standing in a messy stall on the roadside. Because she caught it from the peripheral vision, it was very blurry. She only saw that the man was short in stature, and his limbs grew like tentacles. He was squirming gently, giving people a feeling of goosebumps immediately rising on his body at the first sight.

She quickly turned her head and looked intently, her expression suddenly confused.

The stalls were already empty, as if what he saw just now was just his imagination.

Moreover, she subconsciously felt that she did not want to mention this matter.

"Woo..."

The sports car, with its body almost touching the ground, rushed to Satellite City No. 7, an abandoned factory.

With a "clunking" sound, the wheels passed through a puddle and the car body shook.

Zhao Hui opened the door and walked out, glanced at the puddles and the mud splashed on the car, cursed in a low voice, turned around and walked down a rusty staircase towards the second floor of the abandoned factory, arriving at an empty workshop.

"There must be something wrong with that woman!"

He whispered to the empty workshop, his expression showing suppressed anger. "I can feel that she is different from before. I tried to make some insinuations and asked her what happened on the road, but she refused to tell. I was worried that asking too many questions would expose my affairs, so I had to let her go first... What happened in the laboratory? What was Black Table's decision?"

"It's okay, Black Table has no intention of cleaning you up."

A voice rang, but his answer was completely different from what Zhao Hui asked, "But your request to strengthen your body may have to be later. After all, your mission failed this time, and it also caused serious consequences."

Zhao Hui was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to make amends!"

"You were in need of redress."

The voice said, "The first priority now is to eliminate the possible follow-up effects of this incident, and..." The voice paused and said, "Your suspicion is right. The person who 'reported' you is most likely the person who caused the failure of this mission. Black Table is very interested in this person. Of course, the top priority is to control him."

Zhao Hui When talking to this person, I couldn't help but feel some panic in my heart.

He swallowed and said, "Do you want me to bring in some gunmen? Those who run big goods don't have guns in the city."

"Your desire to atone is commendable."

The voice said, "But that's not what you need to do."

"Hell Squad will take over the matter of blocking information and cleaning up the mess, and what you have to do is another thing."

"..."

"Hell Squad?"

Zhao Hui repeated slowly, with an expression of envy, fear, and relaxation on his face. However, when he heard another thing, his face suddenly became panicked. He shook his head vigorously and said, "I know what you want me to do, but that won't work. I won't let you go... We said before that I only need to help you with some small favors within a certain range!"

"Hell Squad will take over the matter of blocking information and cleaning up the mess, and what you have to do is another thing."

Regarding Zhao Hui's rejection, the voice seemed not to hear it and repeated the words again.

Zhao Hui looked a little hesitant and whispered, "I know what you want me to do, but that won't work. I..."

"... And what you have to do is another thing."

The voice repeated the sentence again, unhurriedly.

A ferocious smile gradually appeared on Zhao Hui's face, and he gritted his teeth slightly. "Really? I've wanted to do this for a long time..."

"Haha, I want them to know how powerful I am..."

"..."

"Very good."

The voice praised Zhao Hui with satisfaction and said softly, "Go and get ready!"

"Damn it, if you go make trouble in the warehouse tomorrow, the bastards won't give you an explanation. Go outside the city and kill them with a gun!"

"Reckless! What's the point of making trouble in the warehouse? You have to go to their headquarters!"

"It's not easy to bring a gun in. It's against the law, so why don't you just stab him with a knife!"

"The question I'm struggling with now is, is he taking advantage of the driver, or is the driver taking advantage of him?"

"Oh... that makes sense!"

After returning to the motel, a group of veteran drivers were still cursing and each one was filled with indignation.

Although this matter is somewhat mixed with uncertainty, the anger in my heart is real.

Hearing that the driver of his car was actually being bullied by others, even though they had long heard that the supervisor had an unusual background, a group of veteran drivers also felt like cutting him twice first. Generally speaking, people who don't take the lead are less afraid of people higher up.

Of course, while talking, he also peeked at the expression on the front of the car.

After all, the driver of the car has this habit at night, so everyone is not very sure whether it is her habit at night...

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you think of something to bring back when you have the time?"

"Have a good rest today, and remember, no one can leave the hotel without my permission!"

Gao Ting had a cold face and was unwilling to say anything more to them. He gave instructions and said, "I'll go back to the room and take a rest first."

As everyone watched, the expressions on their faces gradually turned ugly.

It was obvious that the driver was not happy this time, because he was forced to do so.

I can't stand it anymore.

After a group of veteran drivers dispersed, many people secretly discussed where they could get a gun.

Under normal circumstances, their fleet will bring the goods to Central City, and they will not just go back empty. Instead, they will try to buy some rare things at Central City, or pick up a few private goods that come along the way, and then transport them back to earn some money. Of course, when they go back, the goods they will haul are not sure. Basically, they need to make temporary decisions to see what makes more money.

The front of the car was given a holiday, and everyone was relieved for a rare moment.

Normally, one would definitely go out for a walk this time, but there was an order from the car and no one could leave the hotel.

So, we had to spread out in twos and threes, those who played chess, those who teased the boss's wife, those who teased the boss's wife.

"It's almost two o'clock, why hasn't the pick-up person arrived yet?"

Lu Xin took advantage of this opportunity to contact the contact person, but the call was not connected.

I asked the front desk, but no one left a message for me.

This is a bit strange, how can you let yourself go?

When he returned to his room, he found that the note he had left had been put aside, but the position had moved a little. Lu Xin wondered if it was blown by the wind, but he was not sure. However, before he could think of an answer, Little Zhou had already brought himself a bowl of rice, which was a bowl of stew, four fist-sized steamed buns, and a white and tender green onion.

Lu Xin stopped thinking about those things for the time being, and started scratching heads with Little Zhou in the room.

"It's not good, it's not good..."

I hesitated just now to grab the last steamed bun with Little Zhou, when suddenly there was a burst of chaos outside.

Lu Xin and Little Zhou put down their chopsticks and walked out. They saw a group of old drivers gathered together. They were very panicked. They hurriedly went up to ask. They saw an old driver with a panic face and shouted loudly, "It's Old Li. Old Li just disappeared strangely..."

"Disappeared?"

No one understood. "What just disappeared?"

"That's right, it just disappeared..."

The old driver pointed in the direction of the toilet and said, "Just now, Old Li and I came over to drain the water. I finished early and came out first. The smell inside was too strong. Old Li said I wanted a bigger one, so I returned it. He didn't come out, so I waited for a while, thinking about telling him about borrowing money... Seeing that he didn't come out, I went in to look for him. I didn't expect... I didn't expect that such a big Old Li would... actually disappear..."

"What's gone?"

The people around me sounded weird and surprised, "Can you still fall in?"

"Did you catch it?"

"..."

The veteran driver stamped his foot angrily. "What are you talking about? It's really gone!"

"Old Li is such a big man, and the pit is so shallow, how can he still not see if he falls in?"

Seeing how nervous the old driver was, everyone became anxious and hurried into the toilet to take a look.

Lu Xin also followed behind and stuck his head in, covering his nose and taking a few glances.

I saw that this was a public toilet. In this motel, not every room has a bathroom, only mid-to-high-end rooms have one. Most of the ordinary rooms are temporarily built, and many even sleep in Datong bunks.

These toilets are also dry toilets, with pits inside.

The space is not big, only seven or eight meters long and more than three meters wide. You can see the head at a glance.

It was empty, indeed there was no one there.

But, how could such a big person really disappear just because he said he couldn't see him?

... The legendary urine escape?
