Chapter: 6622

The special envoy of Morocco's trade, Dong Mingchao, was extremely anxious at this moment. Earlier that morning, hundreds of people arrived and then gathered in the warehouse in formation, presenting an imposing scene.

His deputy stood nervously on one side and whispered, "Sir, these people have come so openly during the day. Isn't this too careless? What if someone with malicious intentions sees us? Won't our presence be exposed?"

"Exposed?" Dong Mingchao groaned wryly: "The house has collapsed. Do we need a big open door to do something in front of the ruins? To put it another way, if the house is gone, what's the use of a big open door?"

The special envoy's deputy suddenly understood the meaning behind his words and quickly asked, "What will we do upstairs then?"

Dong Mingchao shook his head and said, "I can't say for sure. Right now, we need to cooperate with them to find those people's clues. After this matter is over, we might be reassigned or even executed, but absolutely cannot stay here."

"Executed?!" The deputy's face turned white with fear, and he exclaimed, "We haven't done anything wrong! They wouldn't execute us, would they?"

Dong Mingchao looked worriedly and said, "Who knows what will happen? The organization is always ruthless in its actions. Each location has very good secret protection, so even if other locations are destroyed, we'll find it hard to know. But if we're reassigned to another location, that means exposing the secrets of Du Ke Mining to other locations, and I don't think the organization will be willing to take that risk."

The deputy hurriedly spoke up, "But they're making such a big change now. Won't they worry about being replaced by someone else at the same time?"

Dong Mingchao asked, "What secrets are we talking about? What's located in each location? Is it meaningful? If we're reassigned, we won't be able to leave that place even if we know where the other 10 locations are. Their personal freedom is strictly controlled, and they have no connection with the outside world. They wouldn't dare leak secrets anyway."

As he spoke, Dong Mingchao paused for a moment, looking sorrowful and said, "We're different from them. We know everything about Du Ke Mining. This kind of information can never be leaked within the organization. It would greatly affect morale and undermine the organization's authority. If I were the leader, I wouldn't let someone take their own shame to another location..."

The deputy's face turned even paler with fear, and he exclaimed, "What are we going to do now?! Can't just sit here waiting to die?"

Dong Mingchao countered, "Besides sitting here waiting to die, what else can you do?"

As he spoke, the deputy suddenly fell silent, knowing that they had no power to resist in such a situation. Dong Mingchao sighed and said, "No matter how you look at it, those people from Du Ke Mining are still the luckiest. They got rescued along with their families before the bloodbath began. As long as we can avoid this round of searches, we'll be safe and sound."

The deputy couldn't help but say, "Why don't we have such good luck......"

Just then, one of Dong Mingchao's subordinates rushed over to him, saying nervously through the door, "Special Envoy! The Commander-in-Chief has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Dong Mingchao quickly closed his mouth and beckoned his deputy with a wave of his hand. Together, they went out to meet him.

Wu Shou was arriving at the same time, and when they met, one of Dong Mingchao's subordinates bowed deeply, placing his palm on the ground in respect towards Wu Shou and saying to Dong Mingchao, "Sir, this is the Commander-in-Chief."

Although Dong Mingchao was a special envoy, he hadn't reached the level where he could meet the Commander-in-Chief. Even when dealing with familiar colleagues, he would only hear their voices but not see them in person.

At present, seeing Wu Shou, Dong Mingchao couldn't confirm his identity and therefore greeted him respectfully, saying, "I am Dong Mingchao, a humble subordinate. I have the honor to meet the Commander-in-Chief, and I request that you display your tiger-head token."

Wu Shou didn't say a word, directly pulling out a pure gold token from his pocket with his right hand. On the token, there was no writing except for a vivid tiger head. Wu Shou's finger was pointing to the hair on the tiger head, and then the tiger head token suddenly came to life, swishing its tail and roaring loudly.

The tiger head token had only five pieces in total, each held by one of the five commanders-in-chief at the Five Armies Commandery. This token was refined by Wu Feiyun using spiritual energy and contained an illusionary array law. Only those who recognized the commander-in-chief could touch the hair on the tiger head to trigger the array, making it seem alive. If the token fell into someone else's hands, there would be no such effect. This was also a key proof of identity for the commanders-in-chief at the Five Armies Commandery.

Dong Mingchao had never seen the tiger head token before, but he had heard about its existence and characteristics from others. Now that he saw it, he naturally wouldn't dare to have any doubts, so he immediately knelt down with one knee on the ground and loudly said: "I am Dong Mingchao, a humble subordinate, all commands from the commander-in-chief!"

Wu Shou nodded slightly and then put the token back in his pocket. He immediately opened his mouth and said: "Have others arrived yet?"

"All are here!" Dong Mingchao replied respectfully and then said: "Please, commander-in-chief, move to the warehouse to give orders!"

Wu Shou spoke coldly: "Lead the way ahead." JrNovels.com
