Eddie immediately showed a surprised expression, but quickly shook his head.

"I don't know what you are referring to!"

"About the Angus family."

Freya said unceremoniously, and then stood up.

"Eddie, if you want to mess around, I won't be polite."

Eddie hummed and picked up the wine glass.

"Finally, I want to give you one more salute. After all, it may be time for us to say goodbye in the future. Our positions are completely different."

Wu Qun put away his smile. Everyone present knew what the Hillman family's intentional or unintentional actions meant. No one was a fool. The Hillman family had already planned to annex the Angus family.

It's obvious.

Those seemingly accidental things are actually inevitable. From the beginning of construction, the Angus family had no choice but to accept investment from the Hillman family. Later, Eddie lobbied the Angus couple to go public, temporarily alleviating the gap in construction funds.

and pressure, now that the stock market has been delisted, the Angus family, which is heavily in debt, can only sell most of the family land.

If the business department hadn't taken the pricing power into its hands, the Angus family would have been doomed by now.

"I probably didn't do anything to make everyone angry!"

Wu Qun frowned slightly.

"All I say is Eddie, be mature!"

Eddie hummed, put down his glass, bowed, turned around and walked away, with a sense of satisfaction on his face.

Eddie knew very well that as long as there was no evidence, they could not do anything to him, and with their characters, they would not drag ordinary citizens into the water. This was the double guarantee of Eddie's plan.

The collapse of an Angus family has already made the city worse. If something goes wrong with the Hillman family now, Eddie does not need to explain the consequences. They naturally know that no matter how much they complain about themselves, they will not do anything.

of.

The poisoning caused by water pollution is enough to explain everything. Eddie originally thought that Freya would make the truth known to the world, but the subsequent actions of the Medical Association and the members of the medical faction surprised Eddie.

But Eddie's goal has been achieved. Although he did not let the matter be exposed, he forced the Angus family, who was still closely preparing for the next phase of construction, to start construction before they were ready. If the previous things were exposed, it would only be the icing on the cake.

That's all.

"By the way, everyone! Where are you standing now?"

At this time, Eddie stopped at the door and asked. Everyone behind him was silent and did not answer Eddie's question. He opened the door to the room with a smile and walked out.

Looking at Eddie leaving, Freya's serious expression turned angry.

"If there is evidence..."

"Stop talking about Freya, that guy is still as sinister and sinister as before. The death of many people who developed new drugs in the city in the past is definitely related to their family, and it is also related to Eddie himself. It is not Prada

A guy like Mu can do that."

Lin Xiao stood up, and the eight people started to clear away the dishes, then walked out of the room and looked at the waiting staff opposite the fountain in the center of the park.

6:49 am

A sneeze

Mo Xiaolan sneezed and started to shiver. She glanced back at the bottomless ravine and the cold and chilling air. She started to shiver all over her body and her throat felt a little uncomfortable.

"I already told you, put it on."

Gene took out a dust mask from his pocket, and Mo Xiaolan put it on obediently.

"Can you come down yet?"

Jean said with a smile, Mo Xiaolan glanced at the city shrouded in light behind him, and then at the wild and endless barrier area in front of him.

"No, if I walk for a day, my feet will get blisters. I can't even ride a motorcycle or drive a car. Besides, if I didn't agree, will you carry me there?"

Gene smiled helplessly.

"It's really willful."

Mo Xiaolan pouted.

"Who is so willful? How can anyone wake someone up from bed so early in the morning? Besides, how can you sneak into a lady's boudoir?"

Gene smiled and shook his head.

"Sorry, I have to leave. Sit tight, the car will go very fast."

Mo Xiaolan lay tightly on Gene's back, and Gene had already bent down. The moment the light blue particles floated, Gene had already ejected out with Mo Xiaolan on his back.

Based on the investigation reports on the barrier area from Section 2 and Section 3, Mo Xiaolan deduced that there should be some secret gathering place suitable for human habitation in the barrier area.

Some rough equipment that has been destroyed on the spot by Section 2 is impossible to complete in a place like the barrier area. Nowadays, although every garbage truck leaving the city is strictly inspected, it is impossible for criminals to leave the city from the garbage truck.

But it can pass through the mini-lift.

This kind of thing that can be bought on the black market is quietly circulating. Mo Xiaolan just talked to Jean about this matter for a few days, and the result is that he is now carried to the barrier area by Jean. The two of them will

Go deep into some parts of the barrier area and investigate directly.

The escape of criminals is nothing new. Nowadays, under the high-pressure policy of Section 5, most criminals will run away as soon as they are exposed, because if they don't run, they will definitely be caught, and once they are caught, they will be caught.

With the current laws in the city, many people may not be able to get out after entering.

"Go over there and have a look."

There was a dilapidated town in front of him. Gene stopped and walked slowly over with Mo Xiaolan on his back.

There are some people in the town, but they all look loose. After a casual glance, there are probably less than a hundred people. Many people are rummaging around in some ruins, and some are constantly collecting and floating over.

Trash.

As soon as the two entered the town, someone ran over.

"Do you have anything to eat? Hand it over."

A skinny man held a sharp knife in his hand. He seemed to have no strength to hold the knife. His eyes showed desire, not threat.

Just as Jean was about to take action, Mo Xiaolan grabbed Jean's ear and took out some military rations from his pocket.

"If you want to eat, you have to answer questions."

After a while, everyone in the town gathered over. Everyone looked at the dry food in Mo Xiaolan's hand. There were more than ten people lying on the ground next to him.

"Is there somewhere you can get food here?"

Everyone rushed to answer. Gene sat aside, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff.

People from Section 2 and Section 3 who came to investigate before have asked, but there is no result at all.

"I heard that there is a place to get food in the larger gathering place over there, but it's no longer there."

Mo Xiaolan was still asking questions, but after asking around, most of the answers were irrelevant. After Mo Xiaolan gave them some food, he lay on Gene's back again.

"People from the 2nd Department have asked about these things."

Mo Xiaolan said with a smile.

"A simple logical question, how long do you think you can survive without food here?"

"A week at most!"

Jean bounced continuously on the cold and hard ground, and Mo Xiaolan laughed loudly on his back.

"Not to mention a week, even three days is enough. According to my calculations, there are now garbage disposal outlets in the east and west. Some garbage disposal companies on both sides have closed down. In addition to the southern part under construction, and the upper area, there are also

In addition to the garbage that can be disposed of, the number of times the garbage trucks leave the city now is reduced by 50 to 100 times compared to before the construction."

"In other words, it is true that the probability of carrying food in a garbage truck and passing through the guard station is very small."

Gene replied, and Mo Xiaolan snorted.

"I'm afraid many people are now unwilling to take such risks and carry private goods out of the city in garbage trucks. Although there are lifts available, how many gangs and organizations can afford them, so I dare

There must be a place here that can produce its own food."

Gene stopped. A journey of dozens of kilometers was nothing to him. In front of him was a ruins, which was a point that Section 2 had dealt with before. When the two walked in, they were already riddled with holes, and there were still a large number of bullet casings on the ground.

's town.

Congealed blood stains can also be seen on some walls.

"Is it really okay to handle it so roughly?"

Mo Xiaolan asked, and Gene shook his head, but nodded again.

"Otherwise, what do you think should be done?"

Mo Xiaolan shook her head. She didn't know what to do. Most of the criminals who fled to the barrier area had committed serious crimes and were sentenced to at least ten years in prison.

In order to escape sanctions, the best way for most people is to flee to the barrier area, and then wait for the storm to subside to sneak back into the city from the northwest and live in some fringe areas. Many businessmen's construction sites or factories, their favorite

It's this kind of gangster. You only need to give them a little food and a meager salary to send them away, but they don't dare to say anything.

The saved labor costs, as long as the number of workers is large, the company also enjoys tax reduction policies, and the money is a net profit.

This is a very large underground criminal industry chain, which is often difficult to control.
