CHAPTER 989 THEY WERE DEAD MEAT

"Where did you say it was?" said Gao Shou loudly as he stood up and stared at Zhao Quan. "Where did you say that thing was?"

"In the eighth mining zone. What's wrong?" Zhao Quan was stunned. What was wrong with that?

The entire Xishan mining industry was entirely under their thumb. Since all of Xishan was theirs, it didn't matter where it was.

Moreover, no one found out precisely because he hid it in a place like that.

If their miners hadn't accidentally dug through a mining shaft, they wouldn't have discovered a grave hidden in the depths of the mine.

When Zhao Quan first heard about this, he suppressed the news and didn't allow it to spread.

It was perfectly normal to come across graves in the process of mining. So most people wouldn't put much thought into it and merely chalked it up to bad fortune.

He even attempted to forget about it, so as not to provoke any dead spirits.

Zhao Quan noticed that Gao Shou's expression was becoming nastier and nastier, so he became anxious instantly. "Tell me. Did anything go wrong?"

"We've lost it,” said Gao Shou softly.

"What do you mean we've lost it?" asked Zhao Quan anxiously.

"We've lost the eighth mining zone," said Gao Shou as his face turned pale, "And we've also lost Black Star Mining."

Zhao Quan stared at Gao Shou dumbstruck. He thought he was joking.

The entire company was gone?

He must be crazy!

"What did you just say? Do you know what you're talking about?" bellowed Zhao Quan loudly, "Did that idiot Xie Zhen do this?"

Xie Zhen always took care of the company because it was the kind of task that required little brainwork. All he needed to do was to stay on top of the company and those employees.

He and Gao Shou would attend to all other matters. He hoped that asshole Xie Zhen didn't bungle things up.

"Xie Zhen was jailed," said Gao Shou, "Lin Group did it."

"Lin Group?"

"The representatives from Lin Group are here. They took the company back and now the entire Black Star Mining belongs to them, including the eighth mining zone. I was fired too," said Gao Shou. He then inhaled deeply and continued in a trembling voice, "Same goes for you. You were fired. We've nothing to do with the eighth mining zone anymore. So we probably can't get in." Content © 2024.

"Fuck!" cursed Zhao Quan as he stood up. "How on earth did you end up giving them the company?"

Gao Shou didn't feel like talking. He had gone in with ample preparation and planned on delaying Lin Group. So while Zhao Quan went to finish their business, he could hold on tightly to the reigns of the company.

But Jiang Ning was so unconventional in his methods and completely messed up his plans!

He was totally unable to control the situation when it turned out like this.

"We must take back the eighth mining zone!" said Zhao Quan, "We don't have to bother about the rest of the mines for the time being but we must take back the eighth one. If we don't win it back, then... we're doomed!"

Gao Shou suddenly shuddered violently.

"Don't you dare forget what kind of people we're working with! They are ruthless, like a pack of wolves! If we don't deliver on our promise, they'll kill us for sure!" A fierce look emerged on Zhao Quan's face. The happy news of their collaboration rapidly evolved into terror.

They couldn't afford to offend those people.

Before Guo Meng left, he especially said that if they lied to them, they would...

Although he didn't specify the consequence, Zhao Quan knew for sure that only death awaited them.
