After rebirth in the end of the world, I cut off all love and hoarded goods desperately
Chapter 242 Internal and external cooperation
On the other side, Gao Ren was also stopped at the entrance to the city. The people inside asked them to retreat ten miles away and wait. Gao Ren asked, "Why? What does Zhong San mean by this? When he sent someone to deliver the message to me, he didn't say this."
The man on the other side held a gun and said, "That's what the boss ordered. We are also doing what he ordered. If you are told to leave, leave. When it's time for you to come in, our boss will come and pick you up."
Gao Ren's cheek twitched slightly because of anger. He looked at the people opposite him and paused for a second before ordering the convoy to retreat ten miles and set up camp.
"Tell your boss that I have Mo Qing's daughter in my hand. This trump card is no less important than his son. Mo Qing is now following me closely. If he doesn't want the duck in his hand to fly away, he should let us into the city quickly. I will only wait for one day. If there is no result after one day, our cooperation will end here." Gao Ren made a statement to Zhong San's people.
The man guarding the exit replied without taking it seriously: "I know, I'll pass it on. Now retreat quickly, or I'll bombard you with cannons!"
Gao Ren retreated to the car with a grim look on his face, turned around and drove back. After driving a few miles, the speed of the truck in front obviously dropped. Gao Ren was about to use the walkie-talkie to ask them what was going on, when he saw a truck trying to speed up forward, but ended up falling sideways on the ground.
The entire convoy stopped and Gao Ren and his men got out of the car to take a look. They found that there was a problem with the tires of not just one car, but almost all of them.
After a careful inspection, it was discovered that there were sharp needles in the tire. The needles pierced the tire and after repeated rolling, they eventually destroyed the inner tube and caused damage to the car.
Looking at the situation, his subordinates asked Gao Ren, "Captain, what should we do now? Even if we all change the tires, we don't know if there will be more attacks on the road ahead? These things are obviously man-made. What does that gang in the city mean? Don't they want to cooperate with us?"
Gao Ren was also very angry when he saw this situation: "Empty the overturned car and lift it up. We will find a place to rest here, change the tire later, and arrange some brothers to come out with magnets and brooms to clear the road."
Li Zhenzhen and Chen Jiaojiao also got out of the car. The driver drove all the cars into a small road in the suburbs and found a few houses nearby to rest and stay.
Li Zhenzhen naturally saw this accident. She walked to Gao Ren and softened her voice and asked, "Did those people in the city betray us?"
Gao Ren retracted his distant gaze and turned to Li Zhenzhen: "Are you not afraid of me anymore?"
Li Zhenzhen said with a bit of embarrassment: "Why not? I'm scared to death. Do I have any chance to turn back now?"
Gao Ren saw that she was pretending to be embarrassed and annoyed, so he smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Since you are my woman, I will protect you as long as you behave yourself."
Li Zhenzhen felt half relieved. At least Gao Ren hadn't shown any sign of dislike for her yet. She was still safe for the time being.
"Then what should we do now? From what I heard about your conversation with that group of people, it seemed like you had been in contact for a long time. Why do they look like they are going to go back on their word now?" Li Zhenzhen asked bravely again.
Gao Ren stood with his hands behind his back, watching his brothers busy changing the tire. He was confused, "I don't know. I've dealt with Zhong San twice, and the subsequent news was passed back and forth by his men. Logically, he shouldn't have turned me away."
Li Zhenzhen moved closer to Gao Ren: "Such an erratic person is not suitable to be a partner."
Gao Ren did not respond to Li Zhenzhen's words, but just gently held her and walked inside: "It's windy and sandy here, let's go inside to rest, and we can talk about other things after we have rested."
Chen Jiaojiao watched her mother follow Gao Ren towards the houses, and hurriedly followed behind. However, she was very afraid of Gao Ren now, so she just followed from a distance and did not get close. After all, she had been very rude to Gao Ren in the past.
Why couldn't Gao Ren enter the city? Because there was a team of 20 people who arrived at the entrance earlier than Gao Ren and had already met Zhong San.
The leader of this group of people called himself Mo Lang, and he was from a branch of the Mo family. Actually, Mo Qing was his uncle. He came here specifically to seek refuge with Zhong San and bring him a message.
Mo Lang did not bring many people and supplies, but he gave Zhong San a map, which marked the locations of several mines of the Mo family. If it was confirmed to be true, it would be a great gift.
According to Mo Lang, he escaped temporarily because he overheard the conspiracy between Gao Ren and Mo Qing.
"Mo Qing has been using the output of our Mo family to support those irrelevant people. Among the 200,000 people, there are tens of thousands of old, weak and disabled people who do not work. If these things were used on our own family, they would have strengthened themselves long ago. Unfortunately, the Mo family is a one-man show by him, and there is nothing we can do even if we, the Mo family members, disagree." Mo Lang said angrily.
Zhong San, who was sitting in the main seat, listened to Mo Lang's complaints without saying anything for a while. He was still wondering whether the news Mo Lang brought was true or false.
According to Mo Lang, after Gao Ren contacted Fu Hao, he pretended to help him pass the message, but actually went to Mo Qing to seek credit and do him a favor.
Gao Ren had previously contacted those who were dissatisfied with Mo Qing privately, saying that there was a better place to go. At that time, they could take away most of the Mo family’s supplies and start a new business together with everyone.
Everyone had some assets of their own, and Gao Ren had sold them a lot of information about the Mo family's assets. Coupled with Director Fu's previous lobbying, many people were interested.
Gao Ren asked everyone to wait for the right opportunity and wait for his notification, so everyone waited patiently. Who knew that all this was a conspiracy set up by Mo Qing and Gao Ren, targeting these disloyal people.
Mo Lang said that he heard Mo Qing and Gao Ren say with his own ears that they should first take all those who had ulterior motives out and deal with them, and then Gao Ren would continue to pretend to escape and come to their city, and find a way to cooperate inside and outside to save Mo Cheng and then destroy their group of people.
Zhong San was half-believing and half-doubting, but he didn't dare to let Gao Ren and the others enter the city for the time being. He asked Lang, "What kind of trap did they set? You escaped smoothly all the way, didn't you?"
Mo Lang could hear Zhong San's distrust, and he straightened his back and said, "I didn't hear how they were going to set up the trap, but the idea was to get in first, and then work together to deal with you. How can I say that my journey was smooth? If I hadn't led my men to advance non-stop in the wind and sand, I might have been caught and killed by them by now. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. When Gao Ren comes, just let him bring his men in, and I can confront him face to face!"
As soon as Mo Lang finished speaking, two people walked in together and said they had something to report.
Zhong San knew that they were the people guarding the entrance and exit of the city, so he signaled them to just speak.
One of them said, "Gao Ren brought a convoy. He also said he had a trump card in his hand, the daughter of Mo Qing. We didn't let him into the city, and he got very angry. He said he would only wait for one more day. If we didn't let him in after one day, he would not cooperate with us."
Before Zhong San could speak, Mo Lang spoke first, "So that's what they were planning. Mo Qing's daughter, my cousin, has such a powerful bargaining chip in hand. If I hadn't come, you would have welcomed her in without saying a word. They are really willing to go out and even give up the reputation of my cousin to destroy you."
Zhong San asked back: "Is there anything wrong? If Gao Renzhen captures Mo Qing's daughter, then it will be a trump card in hand. Of course, I will welcome it with both hands."
Mo Lang pouted and said, "My cousin never leaves the house. She usually stays with her father or works in her own planting room. Gao Ren is only the captain of the outer courtyard, and my cousin has guards to take care of her. How could he bring the eldest daughter of the Mo family out? If he really has this ability, why would he cooperate with you? Why did he wait until you captured Mo Cheng before taking the opportunity to escape?"
Zhong San listened to Mo Lang's words and felt that they made some sense. At this time, another person followed up and reported: "Fu Rong also brought a caravan and wanted to enter the city. They said that Mo Qing's caravan was coming soon. They were afraid that they couldn't handle it with their small number of people, so they wanted to come in and help us deal with Mo Qing and his men."
Fu Hua, who had been sitting next to him, also moved when he heard this. He asked first, "Is it my nephew Fu Hao who is back?"
The person who responded said, "Yes, he said that Mo Qing led the team behind. I heard that he brought a lot of supplies and people."
Fu Hua turned to Zhong San and said, "This Mo Qing must have prepared two countermeasures. On the one hand, he used Gao Ren to confuse us, and on the other hand, he pretended to bring supplies to redeem people. He is really cunning. Boss Zhong, Gao Ren can't be let in now. Let my eldest brother and the others in. They also brought so many captives. Sending them in also provides us with manpower."
Zhong San felt that what Fu Hua said was right, and said to his men, "Have Fu Rong and his men enter the city quickly, and notify other defense points to report back immediately if they find the Mo family's convoy."
