deadly camouflage
Chapter 94 Who dares to touch my people!
So the other party didn't see the expression on his face at this time, "I can't do not care what you think, but I will try to change it in the future."
After he finished speaking, he walked away quickly as if he was escaping from something.
Long Xia stood there in a daze, he never showed much expression on his face, he pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were a little red.
He understood that his words really hurt Nan Di.He rejected a whole-hearted relationship for him. Although it was out of good intentions, it did hurt Nandi.
Long Xia slumped down on the bed, buried his face in his palms, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly until his chest was about to explode.
Across the wall from him, Nan Di stuffed his clothes messily into his bag as if venting his anger with red eyes.
It was the only time in his 20 years of life that he felt chilled.He thought that at that point with Long Xia, they had already merged into one body without any barriers, but he only found out today that Long Xia didn't think so at all.
He accused himself of being too impulsive and often doing bad things, and euphemistically expressed his dissatisfaction with being too dependent on him.
Whether it's impulsiveness or dependence, in Nan Di's view, it's all because the other party is Long Xia.He couldn't stand Long Xia being wronged, that's why he couldn't help but make a move, and because he always wanted to make Long Xia happy, that's why he had to ask him about everything.
He obviously cared, but why did it become a burden in Long Xia's eyes?
Nan Di was extremely depressed, and many emotions piled up in his chest, making him unable to breathe.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him, and Nan Di knew it was Long Xia without turning his head.He quickly wiped his eyes and continued to straighten his clothes as if nothing had happened.
Nan Di didn't look back, and Long Xia stopped not far from him.
The two fell into a stalemate again, Long Xia leaned against the wall with arms folded, his eyes fell on Nan Di's stiff back.
"That's not what I meant." He broke the silence by speaking first, "Don't dig into a dead end."
Nan Di's heart softened by Long Xia's first apology was instantly filled with anger. He heard it with his own ears. How could it be said that it was a dead end?
At this time, Long Xia stopped talking, frowning, as if thinking about how to continue.
The things in front of Nan Di had already been packed, but he stubbornly turned his back to Long Xia, unfolded the neatly folded clothes, and folded them repeatedly.
"Look at me!" Long Xia's voice suddenly came very close, and at the same time Nan Di's wrist was grabbed by him.
Nan Di tried hard to suppress the churning emotions in his heart, but his voice trembled a little: "Leave me alone for a while."
Long Xia frowned, grabbed his wrist and pulled him up forcefully, "Then wait for us to explain clearly before you go quiet!"
Nan Di was staggered by him, and his anger rose instantly.
He shook off Long Xia's hand fiercely, and said angrily in a low voice: "Is there anything else to say, isn't it clear enough?"
"Then tell me, what do I mean by those words?"
"..." Nan Di avoided Long Xia's eyes, with a slightly wronged expression, "I know that I have been used to relying on you for everything since I was a child, even when I came to Morken. But I won't anymore, I'm already 20 years old , has grown up."
"You think I despise you for being naive?"
Nan Di glanced at him, although he didn't speak, but that look said everything.
Long Xia's brows were tightly frowned again, he stared at Nan Di for a while, and said: "You are really naive, you are 20 years old, can you tell me that you can make decisions for your own affairs?"
Nan Di's face became ugly, and he waited for Long Xia angrily and hurt.
"Unconvinced?" Long Xia snorted coldly, "If Xiyang and I hadn't helped you with the matter of stealing the list, you would be squatting in the prison now, thinking you could stand here? And today's matter, no Just change a room, you can't make up your mind, you say you..."
"Enough!" Nan Di interrupted Long Xia with a loud roar, his chest heaving violently with anger, "You don't even know why I did this!"
Long Xia was not affected by his anger at all, and his expression remained flat: "Do I know the reason can change the result?"
Nan Di stared at Long Xia, he never realized that Long Xia's calm personality was so annoying!
"Nan Di, what I said is the truth, your anger is completely groundless."
Nan Di was left speechless by Long Xia's words, and his heart was deeply hurt by his ruthlessness.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Long Xia suddenly realized that those blurted words accidentally hurt Nan Di again.
Nan Di clenched his hands tightly, "You said I misunderstood you and got into a dead end, then tell me, how do I understand what you are saying at this moment?"
"I just want you to be aware of your shortcomings." Then correct it and become a stronger person.
It's a pity that Long Xia couldn't say the following words for some reason.
Nan Di stared at Long Xia for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Thank you for reminding me, I know now!"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Long Xia to say anything else, he turned around and left with his luggage.
Looking at Nan Di who left angrily, Long Xia's face was so gloomy that water dripped down his face.This was the first time he felt that Nan Di had such a stubborn temper, and it was also the first time he felt frustrated.
Xi Yang who was next door heard their quarrel, heard the loud slamming of the door, and after knowing that someone had left, she thought about it, walked over to look at Long Xia in the room, her eyes widened in surprise.
"It was Nan Di who left?"
Long Xia put away the expression that he only had in front of Nan Di, gave Xi Yang a faint look, leaned over and picked up Nan Di's salute.
"I said, is this the first time you two are in love?" Xi Yang looked at Long Xia with a half-smile, "Nan Di's EQ, if you don't tell him directly, it's normal for him to misunderstand."
"I didn't say it directly enough?"
Xi Yang chuckled: "I can't be more direct, if you tell me that, I will definitely beat you!"
Long Xia was confused by what she said.If you want to speak up, you will be beaten up?
"Second young master, I think you usually have a high EQ, what's the matter?" Xi Yang's tone of teasing was undisguised, "If I help you this time, will you thank me?"
Long Xia shot at her sharply, carried his things and left without saying a word.
Xi Yang smiled: "Second Young Master, it's better to be honest in your relationship, girls like to guess!"
Long Xia paused, then strode away.
When Nan Di arrived at the building with his things, he found that one was missing. He went back the same way to get it, and when he reached the corner, he met Qiao Sen.
I didn't expect to meet him here, but now Nan Di didn't care about him, and planned to turn a blind eye to him, but the other party obviously didn't think so.
When Nan Di and Qiao Sen passed sideways, one hand blocked his way: "You don't say hello to old friends?"
Nan Di was in a bad mood at first, but when he heard Qiao Sen's tone of looking for trouble, the chill in his eyes became even worse.
Qiao Sen raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Why, you don't seem to be in a good mood."
"Get out of the way!" Nan Di didn't want to cause trouble for Long Xia when he first came here.
Instead of letting go, Qiao Sen took a step in front of Nan Di, shaking the broken hand, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Nan Di took a step back and stared at Qiao Sen: "Say it again, get out of the way!"
"I won't let you, what can you do?"
As Qiao Sen said, a lot of people appeared from nowhere and surrounded him with eyes on them.
Nan Di glanced at the place with a large number of people, and his heart sank. It seemed that Qiao Sen did not intend to let him go easily today.
104 Provocation
The other party was aggressive, and Nan Di didn't intend to hold back. It happened that he was in a bad mood today, and he had no reason to refuse the sandbags delivered to his door.
"Are you trying to avenge the past?" Nan Di slowly clenched his fists, ready to attack at any time.
Thinking of the experience of the bone broken by Nan Di not long ago, Qiao Sen turned pale and shouted at him angrily: "Do you think there is a second chance?"
"I didn't think about it that way." Nan Di took a step forward, "I just want to know, does Sam know what happened today?"
Sam's attitude determines the nature of this cooperation. In fact, Nan Di already has the answer in his heart, and asking Qiao Sen is just to confirm his guess.
But Qiao Sen is not a brainless person, he did not fall into Nan Di's trap, but smiled contemptuously: "Is this kind of thing still need to be reported to him?"
Seeing that he couldn't get any words out of his mouth, Nan Di stopped the idea of continuing the conversation: "Don't do it yet?"
"Still making a move?" Xi Yang, upstairs not far from them, asked Long Xia.
Long Xia looked at the confronting person downstairs in silence, no emotion could be seen from his expression, he didn't seem to be worried about Nan Di at all.
"There are five people on the other side, plus the one with poor hands, do you think Nan Di can win?" Xi Yang put his hands on the simple balcony, squinting his eyes to see the people who were getting more and more tense.
Long Xia still didn't say a word, Xi Yang turned his head to look at him, shook his head and said: "Are you really determined to do this? Did Nan Di do something wrong?"
"Can you shut up!" Long Xia glared at her unhappily.
Xi Yang not only did not shut up, but continued: "Your obsession is very strange, why do you have to change Nandi?"
Is this obsession?Thoughtful light appeared in Long Xia's eyes.
During the time they were talking, Nandi and several people had already started fighting.
At first, Xiyang was worried that Nan Di would lose the wind, but after watching for a while, she let go of her nervousness.
She happened to catch a glimpse of Long Xia's relieved expression, and said with a smile, "I feel distressed, right? Your performance reminds me of a documentary I watched before, about the fox family. The fox parents will treat their children when they grow up. Throw them out of the house, and the little fox will come back shortly after being forced to leave."
"The parents kick them out again, they come back again, and so on, until the little fox loses heart. Are you going to do the same?"
Long Xia clenched his hand on the railing, and said lightly, "I'm not Nan Di's elder."
"But what you did was what an elder would do to him." Xi Yang shrugged, "I thought that with your relationship, you would..."
Before Xi Yang finished speaking, Long Xia, who had been staring at the battlefield below, suddenly left. In a blink of an eye, he had already run downstairs, and quickly ran towards Nan Di.
One must know that this is the third floor, a person's stride is limited, how anxious is Long Xia to run so fast?
Seeing Long Xia piercing into the chaotic circle like a sharp blade, Xi Yang smiled, no matter how cruel his words were, when Nan Di really encountered difficulties, he was more anxious than anyone else.
Nan Di was ready to be beaten by the group. After all, Qiao Sen had learned from the past, and the people he recruited must not be kind.
In the beginning, it was barely enough for him to deal with five alone, but after his physical strength seriously declined, more and more fists fell on him.
These people are professional thugs, they don't slap people in the face, and they punch in places that are invisible but full of lethality.
A few times, Nandi couldn't dodge in time, and was punched in the stomach several times, so painful that he almost spit out what he just ate.
Just when he was about to be beaten to the ground, the person blocking him suddenly flew backwards.Nan Di took the time to look, and Long Xia stood there with a frosty face.
Seeing Long Xia suddenly appear, Qiao Sen immediately stopped the siege.Several people scattered like birds and beasts, and their movements were surprisingly fast.
Nan Di breathed a sigh of relief, grinned and rubbed his throbbing stomach, and quietly raised his eyes to look at Long Xia. As soon as his eyes came into contact with him, Nan Di immediately lost his temper.
Long Xia's eyes were not concerned, but so sharp that Nan Di felt guilty of being caught for doing something bad.
He rubbed his stomach and slandered, it was Qiao Sen who provoked him first, and it wasn't that he liked to fight!
Long Xia stared at Nandi, with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and at the same time, there was a little distress.
It's just that he was a little far away, and Nan Di didn't dare to look directly at him, so he didn't see it.
The two stood silently for a while, Nan Di whispered, "I'll go get the rest of the luggage." After finishing speaking, he left without looking up.
He met Xi Yang at the top of the stairs, "I see you were beaten, does it hurt?"
Nan Di: "You just look at it from above?"
"Someone went down to help, why should I do anything extra?"
Nan Di looked at her with a look of reason for suffering speechlessly, held back for a long time, and said, "Why did I think you were an elegant woman at the beginning?"
Xi Yang smiled triumphantly: "It proves that I have successfully disguised myself!"
Nan Di was left speechless by what she said. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have believed that Xi Yang, who is full of bandits now, was also so glamorous back then?
Xi Yang satisfies her bad taste, and pats Nan Di on the shoulder for comfort: "Just get used to it, and you will gradually find that 'elegance' is the most ridiculous thing in Pastrillo."
Nan Di, who peeped at the rule of speaking with fists here, didn't doubt Xi Yang's words, but he didn't have the mind to think about this problem now. After moving the luggage to a building, Nan Di fell into endless embarrassment.
If it was normal, he would rely on him on the grounds of helping Long Xia pack his things, but what happened made him a little... unwilling to do so.
Nan Di didn't want to admit that he was angry with Long Xia, and he didn't want to admit that he was expressing his dissatisfaction with him through the cold war, and he didn't want to admit that he was using silence to prove to Long Xia that he could also be prudent.
If he didn't take the initiative to look for Long Xia, the other party would naturally not take the initiative to look for him if he was fine.
Xi Yang always feels that she is an eyesore when she is sandwiched between two people. When she is free, she hides in her room all day.
Nan Di's spontaneous cold war with Long Xia is still going on, but unfortunately Long Xia has taken over the work of the mine, leaving early and returning late every day, and the two don't have many opportunities to meet each other, which makes Nan Di's cold war look particularly ridiculous.
After eating that day, he still left without waiting for Long Xia.
Watching his back disappear at the door, Long Xia sighed inaudibly, and continued to finish the food on the plate.
Although Nan Di left first, he was worried about Long Xia, and couldn't bear to look for him, so he wandered outside the cafeteria.
In order to divert people, they usually eat an hour earlier than the workers. Today, for some reason, he saw a group of workers walking towards this way as soon as he went out.
It's not a strange thing to meet miners in a mining area, but it's a bit strange that everyone is full of anger.
A group of people came towards Nan Di, they just looked at the young man curiously and left without putting too much energy on him.
"We must discuss an explanation today!"
Nan Di heard someone in the crowd say that.
"Yeah, it's so unclear every time, what's the matter?"
"I just give a sum of money every time and it's over. After all, I'm a living person, how can I do this!"
Nan Di heard some clues from it, it seemed that something very serious happened.Regardless of the cold war with Long Xia, he trotted up to look for him from the side door of the cafeteria.
When Nan Di came to the seat where Long Xia was originally sitting, the person had disappeared, and there was still unfinished food on the plate.
Before he could find it, there was a loud voice behind him—the workers are coming up!
A group of people walked over in a mighty way, and the first few were taken aback when they saw Nan Di, and asked, "Who are you?"
Nan Di: "I... a newcomer."
The fat black man who asked him looked at him suspiciously for a while, and didn't continue to ask because he felt that it was strange.He looked around, "Are you alone?"
"Who are you looking for?" Nan Di had secretly raised his vigilance, and this scene reminded him of some bad things he had seen before.
The fat black man glanced at him and said, "You don't look like a miner, are you Buck's subordinate?"
Since Long Xia came here, Buck seldom appeared.Nan Di wasn't sure whether these people were looking for the person in charge of the mine or Buck, so he asked, "Are you also looking for Buck?"
He cleverly used the word "also", and in one sentence put himself on the side with the fat black man.
Sure enough, the guard in the man's eyes dropped a lot when he heard the words, and he said, "Have you seen him?"
"I haven't seen him today." Nan Di didn't lie, "I haven't seen him for a long time."
When he said this, there was quite a wave of excitement among the crowd. The people behind the fat black man were chattering about something, all of them looked excited.
Nan Di frowned slightly. Seeing the anger of these miners, something big must have happened!
105 Mess
Nan Di asked, "Did something happen?"
Compared with the emotional people behind, the black fat man in the front is much calmer, but his face is not so good.
He frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that the mine has changed owners, do you know about this?"
Nan Di's mind was spinning, and she replied calmly: "What does this have to do with us?"
"It doesn't matter!" An angry retort came from behind the man, "If you change someone, who will pay back the money we owe?"
Nan Di thought to himself, it really is.
No matter where they go, workers are squeezed people, and running away with money is nothing new.
The black and fat man saw the clue from Nan Di's expression, and looked at him suspiciously: "You can't be from the new boss, are you?"
Nan Di was stunned, how should he answer this question?
Will admitting now that he will be beaten to death by angry workers behind him?
While he was hesitating, the door of the private room on the side of the cafeteria was opened, Long Xia walked slowly, his eyes swept across him, and finally fell on the fat black man.
His appearance caused a brief silence in the chaotic scene, and everyone's eyes were focused on this young man.
After all, human beings are still animals, and it is instinct to fear the strong. The workers all felt the sense of oppression from the man who walked slowly. .
Nan Di couldn't escape Long Xia's indiscriminate "attack" at first, and it wasn't until Long Xia looked at him again that Nan Di suddenly realized that he had been staring at Long Xia.
He turned his eyes away in embarrassment, and caught every movement of Long Xia with his peripheral vision.
Long Xia unhurriedly walked up to the crowd and stood still, looked around before slowly speaking: "What happened?"
Nan Di smelled the smell of tobacco, he frowned uncomfortably, did Long Xia go to smoke just now?This made Nan Di feel a little uncomfortable, because Long Xia seldom smokes unless he has something on his mind.
But right now is not the time to discuss matters of concern. When the workers heard Long Xia's question, they subconsciously decided that he was Xinlai's boss, and the scene fell into chaos again.
"Quiet!" The fat black man shouted back, then turned his head and said to Long Xia, "My name is Simon, the person in charge of the operation team, who is this gentleman?"
"Long Xia, the person in charge of the mine."
Simon didn't expect this young man to admit his identity so calmly in the face of so many emotional people. He smiled slightly and asked, "Do you know what trouble the last master left you?"
Long Xia glanced behind him: "I didn't know before."
"Very good." Simon looked at Long Xia, "Young man, I admire your courage!"
Long Xia looked straight into his eyes, seemed to smile, and said in a calm tone: "Since I dare to take over this mine, I am ready to deal with various historical issues."
Perhaps infected by his calmness, the anger of the miners gradually calmed down, and Nan Di also heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, they are outnumbered, and if there is a real disturbance, he is not sure that he can suppress it.
Simon stared at Long Xia for a while, then nodded to him: "You look pretty good."
Long Xia refused and said, "I think we can talk further."
"Yes." Simon readily agreed, and then said to the workers behind him, "Go back first and wait for my news."
Seeing that the workers refused to leave, Nan Di took a step forward and said, "This matter always requires a representative to come out and talk. Even if there are so many people around, the problem cannot be solved. Everyone should go back first."
Simon raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, looked at Nan Di and Long Xia: "Your man?"
Long Xia withdrew his gaze from Nan Di, hid the approval in his eyes, and nodded: "My assistant."
"It's kind of interesting." Simon thought of the short conversation with Nan Di before. This young man is a little bit capable. In the face of so many people, he can still calmly talk to him.
In the eyes of others, the early twenties are the period when the greenness fades and matures slowly. Although Nan Di's performance is a little immature, he is calm at first sight. It is not difficult to imagine that he will be an outstanding man in the future.
But in Long Xia's eyes, after five years of intensive training, it is normal for Nan Di to perform like this, and he should do better.This is also the reason why Xi Yang felt that Long Xia was too harsh. Thinking back to when I was 20 years old, how many people could be like Nan Di?
Of course, Nan Di would not know these thoughts.
He subconsciously believed that no matter what, Long Xia should not cause trouble, and the most basic way to solve the problem was to discuss, so it was best to clear away irrelevant personnel.
Nan Di spent some time persuading the workers, took them downstairs, and sat on the artificial grass in front of the cafeteria.
He looked up at the window of the cafeteria and muttered, "What happened?"
"You're with Long Xia, and you don't know?" A young man who looked about his age beside him sneered.
"We've just been here...for a few days."
Young man: "Who would believe it if you take over the mine without knowing anything!"
"..." Nan Di really couldn't refute this sentence, because he was not there when Long Xia talked with Sam, and he didn't know the details.
The young man looked depressed and asked, "Are you Long Xiaxin's assistant?"
"Ah?" Nan Di looked back at him and nodded, "Yes, so I don't understand the situation."
The young man showed a "really so" expression, and when talking to him, he became less defensive: "No wonder you don't know, it wasn't a big deal at first, it was just owed wages. But then..."
"later?"
The young man looked around, approached mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "It was later discovered that the workers who made the most noise were missing!"
"What?" Nan Di felt from his tone that the matter must not be as simple as disappearance.
Sure enough, the young man's voice became lower again: "Someone found the body of the missing person in the abandoned mine!"
Nan Di's eyes widened in surprise. Just as he was about to say something, the young man grabbed his arm and signaled him to keep quiet.
Young man: "If you don't want to be the next missing person, don't tell me!"
Nan Di lowered his voice and asked, "Did you call the police?"
"Useful?" The young man sneered, "Here, money can do anything. They lost a lot of money to the family of the missing person, and the incident just passed. No one wants to be the second missing person , so no one dares to mention wages.”
"Then this is now..."
"Didn't you hear that the boss changed? If you don't talk about it, you really won't get the wages!" A trace of anger flashed across the young man's face, and his hands on his knees were tightly clenched, "Everyone who came here this time is not afraid Damn, everyone is desperately trying to get their hard-earned money!"
Nan Di glanced behind him. The miners were all sitting upright, staring at the exit of the cafeteria, like wolves who were desperate.
He sighed softly, and said to the young man: "Don't worry, Long Xia won't ignore it."
Unlike his wholehearted trust, the young man scoffed at his assurance: "Hmph, who knows!"
Nan Di opened his mouth, but said nothing. He knew that no matter what he said now, it would be futile, and these people would not listen to him.
The atmosphere downstairs was getting more and more anxious while waiting, and the private room upstairs was not necessarily any better.
Long Xia and Simon sat on both sides. After understanding the basic situation, both of them fell into silence.
After a long time, Long Xia pressed the cigarette butt to death in the ashtray, and said to Simon, "I need some time."
Hearing this, Simon had no expression on his face, but said lightly: "We've waited long enough."
"I know." Long Xia didn't back down, "But even raising money takes time, doesn't it?"
Simon took a deep breath, "The longer the time, the worse it will be for us, and no one can guarantee that there will be no disappearance."
"Three days." Long Xia tapped the table lightly, "If I don't have the money after three days, Lorgar's military factory will be given to you."
Simon shook his hand, and the soot fell to the ground. He looked at Long Xia in surprise and suspicion, and said uncertainly, "Lorja? You...you are..."
Long Xia nodded, "Long Xia, the youngest son of Long Wenkang."
He didn't mention Morken, nor did he mention Kyle, who was relatively well-known in Pastrillo, but the fat black man on the opposite side obviously knew who this "Long Wenkang" was.
Simon narrowed his eyes and looked far away. After a long time, he flicked the cigarette ash, "Okay, I'll give you three days." He looked up at Long Xia, "If there is any problem with my people within these three days, you will be held responsible. Full responsibility!"
Long Xia slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "It's a deal!"
Simon nodded, and then sighed: "I didn't expect you to be his son."
Long Xia turned his head and looked at him.
Simon smiled: "This mine belongs to Sam, right? Does Kyle know that you are working with Sam?"
"What do you mean?" Long Xia frowned. This Simon seems to know a lot. Is the other party an enemy or a friend?
Seeing his nervous face, Simon smiled and waved his hands: "Don't be nervous, I just happen to know some things, and I don't want to get involved with Moore Ken's affairs."
Long Xia's vigilance towards him has not weakened because of this. People who know the real name of Patriarch Morken and the relationship between Sam and Kyle are definitely not ordinary people.
Such a person is just the person in charge of a mine operation team, there must be something hidden in this!
106 The position in the heart
Facing Long Xia's probing eyes, Simon didn't intend to reveal any more information.He put out the cigarette butt, patted the ash on his pants, and stood up, "I won't let my brothers make trouble within three days, but," he looked at Long Xia seriously, "I can't hide what happened today." , you have to promise me that my brothers will be fine!"
Long Xia smelled a conspiracy from his words. For him, money was not the most difficult problem, and he was confident that he could raise enough money in three days.But Simon's last request made it difficult for him who only had two helpers, Nan Di and Xi Yang.
At this point, Long Xia had some doubts about Simon's identity. Is he really just a simple task force leader?
Maybe it was because he was a little obvious, Simon smiled slightly, and said in a shameless tone: "Bi thinks I'm with those scumbags like Buck!"
Long Xia's eyes darkened, "I need to leave Pastrillo, I hope your people will not run around in the next few days, I will find a way to ensure their safety!"
"Yes," Simon replied affirmatively, "but just because I don't run around, doesn't mean those people won't come to me."
As he spoke, he glanced at Long Xia, seeing him frowning in thought, his expression softened a lot.
Simon: "It's only three days, I believe the other party will have some scruples."
Long Xia took a deep look at him and nodded, "Thank you for your trust."
Simon waved his hand and left the cafeteria first.
After a while, Nan Di appeared at the door, he looked in anxiously, and seeing Long Xia standing there properly, he let go of his hanging heart.
He was about to leave when he heard Long Xia call him: "Nan Di, come here."
Nan Di paused, for so many days, he didn't take the initiative to say a word to Long Xia, when the other party stopped him suddenly, Nan Di's heart beat faster.
He walked over expectantly and nervously, and saw that Long Xia was on the phone: "Come over to the cafeteria, I have something to discuss."
Nan Di stared at Long Xia without blinking, the other party hung up the phone and turned his head, looking at him, Nan Di saw that Long Xia was also briefly stunned.
Although the pause was short, it was enough to make Nan Di's mind soar.
He even forgot for a moment why he was angry with Long Xia, and almost leaned over like before, talking to him with a smile.
However, Nandi still held back.
He is willing to accommodate Long Xia in many irrelevant matters, but it does not mean that he can give in to Long Xia in everything. This time Long Xia's reproach came out of nowhere, and he has no reason to tolerate the other party's temper.
So, when Xi Yang came, what he saw was that the gentle expression on Nan Di's face was gradually replaced by indifference.
She gave Long Xia a strange look, but of course she didn't get any response.She didn't bother to care about the affairs of these two people, she shrugged indifferently, walked over, and asked, "What's the matter with those workers downstairs?"
"This is exactly what I want to talk about today." Long Xia motioned Xi Yang to sit down, "Nan Di, you should know the cause of the matter, tell me."
Nan Di suppressed the strange emotions in his heart, and detailed the news he heard from the workers.
"I suspect that this matter is..."
Long Xia suddenly raised his hand to interrupt his own guess, and indicated with his eyes that the wall has ears.
Nan Di understood and stopped talking.
Xi Yang nodded, indicating that he knew.
Long Xia: "That's probably how it is. I negotiated with Simon and paid their wages in three days. This is not a small amount of money. I need to leave Pastrillo."
Nan Di: "You want us to stay and stabilize them?"
"I have this plan." Long Xia looked at Xiyang, "Simon promised me that there will be no troubles in these three days, but there is no guarantee that someone will come to the door. I need you to rush to Corunna overnight to bring Dean and the others Come here and enrich our manpower."
When Nan Di heard that Long Xia had given Xi Yang a task, he looked at him eagerly, fearing that he would be left behind.
"Nan Di." Long Xia looked at Nan Di, his eyes flickered, but his voice was still formulaic and cold, "You stay, until Xi Yang brings people back, you will be responsible for their safety!"
Does one person protect a dozen or even dozens of people?
Nan Di suddenly felt the pressure on his body, and he nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I promise not to let any of them have an accident!"
"En." Long Xia looked at the two of them, "Is there any question?"
Xiyang and Nandi said in unison: "It's gone."
"Okay, act!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up, "Hey..." Nan Di stretched out his hand to hold him, but he stopped halfway, and his eyes fluttered around in embarrassment.
Seeing his awkward look, Xi Yang smiled teasingly, and left with an expression of "I don't know anything".
Long Xia waited on the spot for a while, seeing that he had been silent, he frowned, and said in a tone of impatience, "What do you want to say?"
The fire that had been suppressed in Nan Di's heart was aroused by his tone, he gave him a cold look, threw down the words "it's all right", and left without looking back.
Looking at his angry back, Long Xia was stunned for a moment, and then reflected again whether there was something wrong with his attitude towards Nan Di, why did they quarrel every time they talked these days?
He thought Nan Di had already left, but when he went out, he saw the car newly sent by Sam parked at the entrance of the cafeteria. Nan Di was sitting in the driver's cab with a cigarette stuck in his fingertip. Half of the cigarette fell on the road.
"Get in the car." Nan Di said calmly, looking straight ahead.
Long Xia didn't turn around and leave hypocritically, he sat in the passenger cab and said to Nan Di: "Go to the airport."
The mine and the airport are both on the outskirts of Pastrillo, less than half an hour's drive away.
For the first half of the journey, Nan Di didn't say a word to Long Xia, and drove his car seriously, as if he was the only one in the car.
He didn't ask until he could see the roof of the waiting room, "Where are you going?"
Long Xia's movements were almost the same as his, they were all looking into the distance, with a cold expression, as if he was talking to himself: "Lorja."
This place name, Nandi, is somewhat familiar. Thinking about it carefully, I remembered that Zeng Xiyang told him that Longxia had a military factory, and the location was in Luojia.
"Can I buy a plane ticket at this time?"
Long Xia: "There is a flight at four o'clock in the afternoon."
Nan Di glanced at the time, it was still two hours away, he silently increased the speed of the car.
The car became quiet again. On the surface, Nan Di didn't respond to such silence, but in fact his heart was wrinkled into a ball of soreness.
The cold war with Long Xia was the most helpless thing for him. Nan Di didn't understand why Long Xia was so persistent in this matter and said so many hurtful words.
He was waiting for Long Xia to give in, but right now, it seemed that he was the one who bowed his head first.
"I……"
Nan Di just opened his mouth, Long Xia at the same time
After he finished speaking, he walked away quickly as if he was escaping from something.
Long Xia stood there in a daze, he never showed much expression on his face, he pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were a little red.
He understood that his words really hurt Nan Di.He rejected a whole-hearted relationship for him. Although it was out of good intentions, it did hurt Nandi.
Long Xia slumped down on the bed, buried his face in his palms, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly until his chest was about to explode.
Across the wall from him, Nan Di stuffed his clothes messily into his bag as if venting his anger with red eyes.
It was the only time in his 20 years of life that he felt chilled.He thought that at that point with Long Xia, they had already merged into one body without any barriers, but he only found out today that Long Xia didn't think so at all.
He accused himself of being too impulsive and often doing bad things, and euphemistically expressed his dissatisfaction with being too dependent on him.
Whether it's impulsiveness or dependence, in Nan Di's view, it's all because the other party is Long Xia.He couldn't stand Long Xia being wronged, that's why he couldn't help but make a move, and because he always wanted to make Long Xia happy, that's why he had to ask him about everything.
He obviously cared, but why did it become a burden in Long Xia's eyes?
Nan Di was extremely depressed, and many emotions piled up in his chest, making him unable to breathe.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind him, and Nan Di knew it was Long Xia without turning his head.He quickly wiped his eyes and continued to straighten his clothes as if nothing had happened.
Nan Di didn't look back, and Long Xia stopped not far from him.
The two fell into a stalemate again, Long Xia leaned against the wall with arms folded, his eyes fell on Nan Di's stiff back.
"That's not what I meant." He broke the silence by speaking first, "Don't dig into a dead end."
Nan Di's heart softened by Long Xia's first apology was instantly filled with anger. He heard it with his own ears. How could it be said that it was a dead end?
At this time, Long Xia stopped talking, frowning, as if thinking about how to continue.
The things in front of Nan Di had already been packed, but he stubbornly turned his back to Long Xia, unfolded the neatly folded clothes, and folded them repeatedly.
"Look at me!" Long Xia's voice suddenly came very close, and at the same time Nan Di's wrist was grabbed by him.
Nan Di tried hard to suppress the churning emotions in his heart, but his voice trembled a little: "Leave me alone for a while."
Long Xia frowned, grabbed his wrist and pulled him up forcefully, "Then wait for us to explain clearly before you go quiet!"
Nan Di was staggered by him, and his anger rose instantly.
He shook off Long Xia's hand fiercely, and said angrily in a low voice: "Is there anything else to say, isn't it clear enough?"
"Then tell me, what do I mean by those words?"
"..." Nan Di avoided Long Xia's eyes, with a slightly wronged expression, "I know that I have been used to relying on you for everything since I was a child, even when I came to Morken. But I won't anymore, I'm already 20 years old , has grown up."
"You think I despise you for being naive?"
Nan Di glanced at him, although he didn't speak, but that look said everything.
Long Xia's brows were tightly frowned again, he stared at Nan Di for a while, and said: "You are really naive, you are 20 years old, can you tell me that you can make decisions for your own affairs?"
Nan Di's face became ugly, and he waited for Long Xia angrily and hurt.
"Unconvinced?" Long Xia snorted coldly, "If Xiyang and I hadn't helped you with the matter of stealing the list, you would be squatting in the prison now, thinking you could stand here? And today's matter, no Just change a room, you can't make up your mind, you say you..."
"Enough!" Nan Di interrupted Long Xia with a loud roar, his chest heaving violently with anger, "You don't even know why I did this!"
Long Xia was not affected by his anger at all, and his expression remained flat: "Do I know the reason can change the result?"
Nan Di stared at Long Xia, he never realized that Long Xia's calm personality was so annoying!
"Nan Di, what I said is the truth, your anger is completely groundless."
Nan Di was left speechless by Long Xia's words, and his heart was deeply hurt by his ruthlessness.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Long Xia suddenly realized that those blurted words accidentally hurt Nan Di again.
Nan Di clenched his hands tightly, "You said I misunderstood you and got into a dead end, then tell me, how do I understand what you are saying at this moment?"
"I just want you to be aware of your shortcomings." Then correct it and become a stronger person.
It's a pity that Long Xia couldn't say the following words for some reason.
Nan Di stared at Long Xia for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Thank you for reminding me, I know now!"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Long Xia to say anything else, he turned around and left with his luggage.
Looking at Nan Di who left angrily, Long Xia's face was so gloomy that water dripped down his face.This was the first time he felt that Nan Di had such a stubborn temper, and it was also the first time he felt frustrated.
Xi Yang who was next door heard their quarrel, heard the loud slamming of the door, and after knowing that someone had left, she thought about it, walked over to look at Long Xia in the room, her eyes widened in surprise.
"It was Nan Di who left?"
Long Xia put away the expression that he only had in front of Nan Di, gave Xi Yang a faint look, leaned over and picked up Nan Di's salute.
"I said, is this the first time you two are in love?" Xi Yang looked at Long Xia with a half-smile, "Nan Di's EQ, if you don't tell him directly, it's normal for him to misunderstand."
"I didn't say it directly enough?"
Xi Yang chuckled: "I can't be more direct, if you tell me that, I will definitely beat you!"
Long Xia was confused by what she said.If you want to speak up, you will be beaten up?
"Second young master, I think you usually have a high EQ, what's the matter?" Xi Yang's tone of teasing was undisguised, "If I help you this time, will you thank me?"
Long Xia shot at her sharply, carried his things and left without saying a word.
Xi Yang smiled: "Second Young Master, it's better to be honest in your relationship, girls like to guess!"
Long Xia paused, then strode away.
When Nan Di arrived at the building with his things, he found that one was missing. He went back the same way to get it, and when he reached the corner, he met Qiao Sen.
I didn't expect to meet him here, but now Nan Di didn't care about him, and planned to turn a blind eye to him, but the other party obviously didn't think so.
When Nan Di and Qiao Sen passed sideways, one hand blocked his way: "You don't say hello to old friends?"
Nan Di was in a bad mood at first, but when he heard Qiao Sen's tone of looking for trouble, the chill in his eyes became even worse.
Qiao Sen raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Why, you don't seem to be in a good mood."
"Get out of the way!" Nan Di didn't want to cause trouble for Long Xia when he first came here.
Instead of letting go, Qiao Sen took a step in front of Nan Di, shaking the broken hand, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Nan Di took a step back and stared at Qiao Sen: "Say it again, get out of the way!"
"I won't let you, what can you do?"
As Qiao Sen said, a lot of people appeared from nowhere and surrounded him with eyes on them.
Nan Di glanced at the place with a large number of people, and his heart sank. It seemed that Qiao Sen did not intend to let him go easily today.
104 Provocation
The other party was aggressive, and Nan Di didn't intend to hold back. It happened that he was in a bad mood today, and he had no reason to refuse the sandbags delivered to his door.
"Are you trying to avenge the past?" Nan Di slowly clenched his fists, ready to attack at any time.
Thinking of the experience of the bone broken by Nan Di not long ago, Qiao Sen turned pale and shouted at him angrily: "Do you think there is a second chance?"
"I didn't think about it that way." Nan Di took a step forward, "I just want to know, does Sam know what happened today?"
Sam's attitude determines the nature of this cooperation. In fact, Nan Di already has the answer in his heart, and asking Qiao Sen is just to confirm his guess.
But Qiao Sen is not a brainless person, he did not fall into Nan Di's trap, but smiled contemptuously: "Is this kind of thing still need to be reported to him?"
Seeing that he couldn't get any words out of his mouth, Nan Di stopped the idea of continuing the conversation: "Don't do it yet?"
"Still making a move?" Xi Yang, upstairs not far from them, asked Long Xia.
Long Xia looked at the confronting person downstairs in silence, no emotion could be seen from his expression, he didn't seem to be worried about Nan Di at all.
"There are five people on the other side, plus the one with poor hands, do you think Nan Di can win?" Xi Yang put his hands on the simple balcony, squinting his eyes to see the people who were getting more and more tense.
Long Xia still didn't say a word, Xi Yang turned his head to look at him, shook his head and said: "Are you really determined to do this? Did Nan Di do something wrong?"
"Can you shut up!" Long Xia glared at her unhappily.
Xi Yang not only did not shut up, but continued: "Your obsession is very strange, why do you have to change Nandi?"
Is this obsession?Thoughtful light appeared in Long Xia's eyes.
During the time they were talking, Nandi and several people had already started fighting.
At first, Xiyang was worried that Nan Di would lose the wind, but after watching for a while, she let go of her nervousness.
She happened to catch a glimpse of Long Xia's relieved expression, and said with a smile, "I feel distressed, right? Your performance reminds me of a documentary I watched before, about the fox family. The fox parents will treat their children when they grow up. Throw them out of the house, and the little fox will come back shortly after being forced to leave."
"The parents kick them out again, they come back again, and so on, until the little fox loses heart. Are you going to do the same?"
Long Xia clenched his hand on the railing, and said lightly, "I'm not Nan Di's elder."
"But what you did was what an elder would do to him." Xi Yang shrugged, "I thought that with your relationship, you would..."
Before Xi Yang finished speaking, Long Xia, who had been staring at the battlefield below, suddenly left. In a blink of an eye, he had already run downstairs, and quickly ran towards Nan Di.
One must know that this is the third floor, a person's stride is limited, how anxious is Long Xia to run so fast?
Seeing Long Xia piercing into the chaotic circle like a sharp blade, Xi Yang smiled, no matter how cruel his words were, when Nan Di really encountered difficulties, he was more anxious than anyone else.
Nan Di was ready to be beaten by the group. After all, Qiao Sen had learned from the past, and the people he recruited must not be kind.
In the beginning, it was barely enough for him to deal with five alone, but after his physical strength seriously declined, more and more fists fell on him.
These people are professional thugs, they don't slap people in the face, and they punch in places that are invisible but full of lethality.
A few times, Nandi couldn't dodge in time, and was punched in the stomach several times, so painful that he almost spit out what he just ate.
Just when he was about to be beaten to the ground, the person blocking him suddenly flew backwards.Nan Di took the time to look, and Long Xia stood there with a frosty face.
Seeing Long Xia suddenly appear, Qiao Sen immediately stopped the siege.Several people scattered like birds and beasts, and their movements were surprisingly fast.
Nan Di breathed a sigh of relief, grinned and rubbed his throbbing stomach, and quietly raised his eyes to look at Long Xia. As soon as his eyes came into contact with him, Nan Di immediately lost his temper.
Long Xia's eyes were not concerned, but so sharp that Nan Di felt guilty of being caught for doing something bad.
He rubbed his stomach and slandered, it was Qiao Sen who provoked him first, and it wasn't that he liked to fight!
Long Xia stared at Nandi, with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and at the same time, there was a little distress.
It's just that he was a little far away, and Nan Di didn't dare to look directly at him, so he didn't see it.
The two stood silently for a while, Nan Di whispered, "I'll go get the rest of the luggage." After finishing speaking, he left without looking up.
He met Xi Yang at the top of the stairs, "I see you were beaten, does it hurt?"
Nan Di: "You just look at it from above?"
"Someone went down to help, why should I do anything extra?"
Nan Di looked at her with a look of reason for suffering speechlessly, held back for a long time, and said, "Why did I think you were an elegant woman at the beginning?"
Xi Yang smiled triumphantly: "It proves that I have successfully disguised myself!"
Nan Di was left speechless by what she said. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have believed that Xi Yang, who is full of bandits now, was also so glamorous back then?
Xi Yang satisfies her bad taste, and pats Nan Di on the shoulder for comfort: "Just get used to it, and you will gradually find that 'elegance' is the most ridiculous thing in Pastrillo."
Nan Di, who peeped at the rule of speaking with fists here, didn't doubt Xi Yang's words, but he didn't have the mind to think about this problem now. After moving the luggage to a building, Nan Di fell into endless embarrassment.
If it was normal, he would rely on him on the grounds of helping Long Xia pack his things, but what happened made him a little... unwilling to do so.
Nan Di didn't want to admit that he was angry with Long Xia, and he didn't want to admit that he was expressing his dissatisfaction with him through the cold war, and he didn't want to admit that he was using silence to prove to Long Xia that he could also be prudent.
If he didn't take the initiative to look for Long Xia, the other party would naturally not take the initiative to look for him if he was fine.
Xi Yang always feels that she is an eyesore when she is sandwiched between two people. When she is free, she hides in her room all day.
Nan Di's spontaneous cold war with Long Xia is still going on, but unfortunately Long Xia has taken over the work of the mine, leaving early and returning late every day, and the two don't have many opportunities to meet each other, which makes Nan Di's cold war look particularly ridiculous.
After eating that day, he still left without waiting for Long Xia.
Watching his back disappear at the door, Long Xia sighed inaudibly, and continued to finish the food on the plate.
Although Nan Di left first, he was worried about Long Xia, and couldn't bear to look for him, so he wandered outside the cafeteria.
In order to divert people, they usually eat an hour earlier than the workers. Today, for some reason, he saw a group of workers walking towards this way as soon as he went out.
It's not a strange thing to meet miners in a mining area, but it's a bit strange that everyone is full of anger.
A group of people came towards Nan Di, they just looked at the young man curiously and left without putting too much energy on him.
"We must discuss an explanation today!"
Nan Di heard someone in the crowd say that.
"Yeah, it's so unclear every time, what's the matter?"
"I just give a sum of money every time and it's over. After all, I'm a living person, how can I do this!"
Nan Di heard some clues from it, it seemed that something very serious happened.Regardless of the cold war with Long Xia, he trotted up to look for him from the side door of the cafeteria.
When Nan Di came to the seat where Long Xia was originally sitting, the person had disappeared, and there was still unfinished food on the plate.
Before he could find it, there was a loud voice behind him—the workers are coming up!
A group of people walked over in a mighty way, and the first few were taken aback when they saw Nan Di, and asked, "Who are you?"
Nan Di: "I... a newcomer."
The fat black man who asked him looked at him suspiciously for a while, and didn't continue to ask because he felt that it was strange.He looked around, "Are you alone?"
"Who are you looking for?" Nan Di had secretly raised his vigilance, and this scene reminded him of some bad things he had seen before.
The fat black man glanced at him and said, "You don't look like a miner, are you Buck's subordinate?"
Since Long Xia came here, Buck seldom appeared.Nan Di wasn't sure whether these people were looking for the person in charge of the mine or Buck, so he asked, "Are you also looking for Buck?"
He cleverly used the word "also", and in one sentence put himself on the side with the fat black man.
Sure enough, the guard in the man's eyes dropped a lot when he heard the words, and he said, "Have you seen him?"
"I haven't seen him today." Nan Di didn't lie, "I haven't seen him for a long time."
When he said this, there was quite a wave of excitement among the crowd. The people behind the fat black man were chattering about something, all of them looked excited.
Nan Di frowned slightly. Seeing the anger of these miners, something big must have happened!
105 Mess
Nan Di asked, "Did something happen?"
Compared with the emotional people behind, the black fat man in the front is much calmer, but his face is not so good.
He frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that the mine has changed owners, do you know about this?"
Nan Di's mind was spinning, and she replied calmly: "What does this have to do with us?"
"It doesn't matter!" An angry retort came from behind the man, "If you change someone, who will pay back the money we owe?"
Nan Di thought to himself, it really is.
No matter where they go, workers are squeezed people, and running away with money is nothing new.
The black and fat man saw the clue from Nan Di's expression, and looked at him suspiciously: "You can't be from the new boss, are you?"
Nan Di was stunned, how should he answer this question?
Will admitting now that he will be beaten to death by angry workers behind him?
While he was hesitating, the door of the private room on the side of the cafeteria was opened, Long Xia walked slowly, his eyes swept across him, and finally fell on the fat black man.
His appearance caused a brief silence in the chaotic scene, and everyone's eyes were focused on this young man.
After all, human beings are still animals, and it is instinct to fear the strong. The workers all felt the sense of oppression from the man who walked slowly. .
Nan Di couldn't escape Long Xia's indiscriminate "attack" at first, and it wasn't until Long Xia looked at him again that Nan Di suddenly realized that he had been staring at Long Xia.
He turned his eyes away in embarrassment, and caught every movement of Long Xia with his peripheral vision.
Long Xia unhurriedly walked up to the crowd and stood still, looked around before slowly speaking: "What happened?"
Nan Di smelled the smell of tobacco, he frowned uncomfortably, did Long Xia go to smoke just now?This made Nan Di feel a little uncomfortable, because Long Xia seldom smokes unless he has something on his mind.
But right now is not the time to discuss matters of concern. When the workers heard Long Xia's question, they subconsciously decided that he was Xinlai's boss, and the scene fell into chaos again.
"Quiet!" The fat black man shouted back, then turned his head and said to Long Xia, "My name is Simon, the person in charge of the operation team, who is this gentleman?"
"Long Xia, the person in charge of the mine."
Simon didn't expect this young man to admit his identity so calmly in the face of so many emotional people. He smiled slightly and asked, "Do you know what trouble the last master left you?"
Long Xia glanced behind him: "I didn't know before."
"Very good." Simon looked at Long Xia, "Young man, I admire your courage!"
Long Xia looked straight into his eyes, seemed to smile, and said in a calm tone: "Since I dare to take over this mine, I am ready to deal with various historical issues."
Perhaps infected by his calmness, the anger of the miners gradually calmed down, and Nan Di also heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, they are outnumbered, and if there is a real disturbance, he is not sure that he can suppress it.
Simon stared at Long Xia for a while, then nodded to him: "You look pretty good."
Long Xia refused and said, "I think we can talk further."
"Yes." Simon readily agreed, and then said to the workers behind him, "Go back first and wait for my news."
Seeing that the workers refused to leave, Nan Di took a step forward and said, "This matter always requires a representative to come out and talk. Even if there are so many people around, the problem cannot be solved. Everyone should go back first."
Simon raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, looked at Nan Di and Long Xia: "Your man?"
Long Xia withdrew his gaze from Nan Di, hid the approval in his eyes, and nodded: "My assistant."
"It's kind of interesting." Simon thought of the short conversation with Nan Di before. This young man is a little bit capable. In the face of so many people, he can still calmly talk to him.
In the eyes of others, the early twenties are the period when the greenness fades and matures slowly. Although Nan Di's performance is a little immature, he is calm at first sight. It is not difficult to imagine that he will be an outstanding man in the future.
But in Long Xia's eyes, after five years of intensive training, it is normal for Nan Di to perform like this, and he should do better.This is also the reason why Xi Yang felt that Long Xia was too harsh. Thinking back to when I was 20 years old, how many people could be like Nan Di?
Of course, Nan Di would not know these thoughts.
He subconsciously believed that no matter what, Long Xia should not cause trouble, and the most basic way to solve the problem was to discuss, so it was best to clear away irrelevant personnel.
Nan Di spent some time persuading the workers, took them downstairs, and sat on the artificial grass in front of the cafeteria.
He looked up at the window of the cafeteria and muttered, "What happened?"
"You're with Long Xia, and you don't know?" A young man who looked about his age beside him sneered.
"We've just been here...for a few days."
Young man: "Who would believe it if you take over the mine without knowing anything!"
"..." Nan Di really couldn't refute this sentence, because he was not there when Long Xia talked with Sam, and he didn't know the details.
The young man looked depressed and asked, "Are you Long Xiaxin's assistant?"
"Ah?" Nan Di looked back at him and nodded, "Yes, so I don't understand the situation."
The young man showed a "really so" expression, and when talking to him, he became less defensive: "No wonder you don't know, it wasn't a big deal at first, it was just owed wages. But then..."
"later?"
The young man looked around, approached mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "It was later discovered that the workers who made the most noise were missing!"
"What?" Nan Di felt from his tone that the matter must not be as simple as disappearance.
Sure enough, the young man's voice became lower again: "Someone found the body of the missing person in the abandoned mine!"
Nan Di's eyes widened in surprise. Just as he was about to say something, the young man grabbed his arm and signaled him to keep quiet.
Young man: "If you don't want to be the next missing person, don't tell me!"
Nan Di lowered his voice and asked, "Did you call the police?"
"Useful?" The young man sneered, "Here, money can do anything. They lost a lot of money to the family of the missing person, and the incident just passed. No one wants to be the second missing person , so no one dares to mention wages.”
"Then this is now..."
"Didn't you hear that the boss changed? If you don't talk about it, you really won't get the wages!" A trace of anger flashed across the young man's face, and his hands on his knees were tightly clenched, "Everyone who came here this time is not afraid Damn, everyone is desperately trying to get their hard-earned money!"
Nan Di glanced behind him. The miners were all sitting upright, staring at the exit of the cafeteria, like wolves who were desperate.
He sighed softly, and said to the young man: "Don't worry, Long Xia won't ignore it."
Unlike his wholehearted trust, the young man scoffed at his assurance: "Hmph, who knows!"
Nan Di opened his mouth, but said nothing. He knew that no matter what he said now, it would be futile, and these people would not listen to him.
The atmosphere downstairs was getting more and more anxious while waiting, and the private room upstairs was not necessarily any better.
Long Xia and Simon sat on both sides. After understanding the basic situation, both of them fell into silence.
After a long time, Long Xia pressed the cigarette butt to death in the ashtray, and said to Simon, "I need some time."
Hearing this, Simon had no expression on his face, but said lightly: "We've waited long enough."
"I know." Long Xia didn't back down, "But even raising money takes time, doesn't it?"
Simon took a deep breath, "The longer the time, the worse it will be for us, and no one can guarantee that there will be no disappearance."
"Three days." Long Xia tapped the table lightly, "If I don't have the money after three days, Lorgar's military factory will be given to you."
Simon shook his hand, and the soot fell to the ground. He looked at Long Xia in surprise and suspicion, and said uncertainly, "Lorja? You...you are..."
Long Xia nodded, "Long Xia, the youngest son of Long Wenkang."
He didn't mention Morken, nor did he mention Kyle, who was relatively well-known in Pastrillo, but the fat black man on the opposite side obviously knew who this "Long Wenkang" was.
Simon narrowed his eyes and looked far away. After a long time, he flicked the cigarette ash, "Okay, I'll give you three days." He looked up at Long Xia, "If there is any problem with my people within these three days, you will be held responsible. Full responsibility!"
Long Xia slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "It's a deal!"
Simon nodded, and then sighed: "I didn't expect you to be his son."
Long Xia turned his head and looked at him.
Simon smiled: "This mine belongs to Sam, right? Does Kyle know that you are working with Sam?"
"What do you mean?" Long Xia frowned. This Simon seems to know a lot. Is the other party an enemy or a friend?
Seeing his nervous face, Simon smiled and waved his hands: "Don't be nervous, I just happen to know some things, and I don't want to get involved with Moore Ken's affairs."
Long Xia's vigilance towards him has not weakened because of this. People who know the real name of Patriarch Morken and the relationship between Sam and Kyle are definitely not ordinary people.
Such a person is just the person in charge of a mine operation team, there must be something hidden in this!
106 The position in the heart
Facing Long Xia's probing eyes, Simon didn't intend to reveal any more information.He put out the cigarette butt, patted the ash on his pants, and stood up, "I won't let my brothers make trouble within three days, but," he looked at Long Xia seriously, "I can't hide what happened today." , you have to promise me that my brothers will be fine!"
Long Xia smelled a conspiracy from his words. For him, money was not the most difficult problem, and he was confident that he could raise enough money in three days.But Simon's last request made it difficult for him who only had two helpers, Nan Di and Xi Yang.
At this point, Long Xia had some doubts about Simon's identity. Is he really just a simple task force leader?
Maybe it was because he was a little obvious, Simon smiled slightly, and said in a shameless tone: "Bi thinks I'm with those scumbags like Buck!"
Long Xia's eyes darkened, "I need to leave Pastrillo, I hope your people will not run around in the next few days, I will find a way to ensure their safety!"
"Yes," Simon replied affirmatively, "but just because I don't run around, doesn't mean those people won't come to me."
As he spoke, he glanced at Long Xia, seeing him frowning in thought, his expression softened a lot.
Simon: "It's only three days, I believe the other party will have some scruples."
Long Xia took a deep look at him and nodded, "Thank you for your trust."
Simon waved his hand and left the cafeteria first.
After a while, Nan Di appeared at the door, he looked in anxiously, and seeing Long Xia standing there properly, he let go of his hanging heart.
He was about to leave when he heard Long Xia call him: "Nan Di, come here."
Nan Di paused, for so many days, he didn't take the initiative to say a word to Long Xia, when the other party stopped him suddenly, Nan Di's heart beat faster.
He walked over expectantly and nervously, and saw that Long Xia was on the phone: "Come over to the cafeteria, I have something to discuss."
Nan Di stared at Long Xia without blinking, the other party hung up the phone and turned his head, looking at him, Nan Di saw that Long Xia was also briefly stunned.
Although the pause was short, it was enough to make Nan Di's mind soar.
He even forgot for a moment why he was angry with Long Xia, and almost leaned over like before, talking to him with a smile.
However, Nandi still held back.
He is willing to accommodate Long Xia in many irrelevant matters, but it does not mean that he can give in to Long Xia in everything. This time Long Xia's reproach came out of nowhere, and he has no reason to tolerate the other party's temper.
So, when Xi Yang came, what he saw was that the gentle expression on Nan Di's face was gradually replaced by indifference.
She gave Long Xia a strange look, but of course she didn't get any response.She didn't bother to care about the affairs of these two people, she shrugged indifferently, walked over, and asked, "What's the matter with those workers downstairs?"
"This is exactly what I want to talk about today." Long Xia motioned Xi Yang to sit down, "Nan Di, you should know the cause of the matter, tell me."
Nan Di suppressed the strange emotions in his heart, and detailed the news he heard from the workers.
"I suspect that this matter is..."
Long Xia suddenly raised his hand to interrupt his own guess, and indicated with his eyes that the wall has ears.
Nan Di understood and stopped talking.
Xi Yang nodded, indicating that he knew.
Long Xia: "That's probably how it is. I negotiated with Simon and paid their wages in three days. This is not a small amount of money. I need to leave Pastrillo."
Nan Di: "You want us to stay and stabilize them?"
"I have this plan." Long Xia looked at Xiyang, "Simon promised me that there will be no troubles in these three days, but there is no guarantee that someone will come to the door. I need you to rush to Corunna overnight to bring Dean and the others Come here and enrich our manpower."
When Nan Di heard that Long Xia had given Xi Yang a task, he looked at him eagerly, fearing that he would be left behind.
"Nan Di." Long Xia looked at Nan Di, his eyes flickered, but his voice was still formulaic and cold, "You stay, until Xi Yang brings people back, you will be responsible for their safety!"
Does one person protect a dozen or even dozens of people?
Nan Di suddenly felt the pressure on his body, and he nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I promise not to let any of them have an accident!"
"En." Long Xia looked at the two of them, "Is there any question?"
Xiyang and Nandi said in unison: "It's gone."
"Okay, act!"
After he finished speaking, he stood up, "Hey..." Nan Di stretched out his hand to hold him, but he stopped halfway, and his eyes fluttered around in embarrassment.
Seeing his awkward look, Xi Yang smiled teasingly, and left with an expression of "I don't know anything".
Long Xia waited on the spot for a while, seeing that he had been silent, he frowned, and said in a tone of impatience, "What do you want to say?"
The fire that had been suppressed in Nan Di's heart was aroused by his tone, he gave him a cold look, threw down the words "it's all right", and left without looking back.
Looking at his angry back, Long Xia was stunned for a moment, and then reflected again whether there was something wrong with his attitude towards Nan Di, why did they quarrel every time they talked these days?
He thought Nan Di had already left, but when he went out, he saw the car newly sent by Sam parked at the entrance of the cafeteria. Nan Di was sitting in the driver's cab with a cigarette stuck in his fingertip. Half of the cigarette fell on the road.
"Get in the car." Nan Di said calmly, looking straight ahead.
Long Xia didn't turn around and leave hypocritically, he sat in the passenger cab and said to Nan Di: "Go to the airport."
The mine and the airport are both on the outskirts of Pastrillo, less than half an hour's drive away.
For the first half of the journey, Nan Di didn't say a word to Long Xia, and drove his car seriously, as if he was the only one in the car.
He didn't ask until he could see the roof of the waiting room, "Where are you going?"
Long Xia's movements were almost the same as his, they were all looking into the distance, with a cold expression, as if he was talking to himself: "Lorja."
This place name, Nandi, is somewhat familiar. Thinking about it carefully, I remembered that Zeng Xiyang told him that Longxia had a military factory, and the location was in Luojia.
"Can I buy a plane ticket at this time?"
Long Xia: "There is a flight at four o'clock in the afternoon."
Nan Di glanced at the time, it was still two hours away, he silently increased the speed of the car.
The car became quiet again. On the surface, Nan Di didn't respond to such silence, but in fact his heart was wrinkled into a ball of soreness.
The cold war with Long Xia was the most helpless thing for him. Nan Di didn't understand why Long Xia was so persistent in this matter and said so many hurtful words.
He was waiting for Long Xia to give in, but right now, it seemed that he was the one who bowed his head first.
"I……"
Nan Di just opened his mouth, Long Xia at the same time
