If it weren't for the poisonous gas, if it weren't for saving them, Li Chonglou would never have died in such a place, in his opinion!
However, at that moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
"Who the hell are you saying is dead?"
Tian Yi instinctively froze, then looked up abruptly.
"Lord Li, Lord Li?"
Not only him, but the few people following behind and Uncle Fei were all stunned.
Li Chonglou glared at them with a grim expression.
He was dressed in white, with a white band tied around his forehead, and coupled with what Tian Yi had just said, any fool could guess what had happened.
Damn it, I've been trapped here for more than a day, and you've already held my memorial service?
"Ah! Lord Li!"
Tian Yi suddenly let out a strange cry and, with lightning speed, knelt at Li Chonglou's feet.
Weeping profusely.
"Lord Li, you're not dead! Lord Li, heaven has eyes, this is the gospel of us humans!"
"What the hell are you doing? When did I say I was dead?"
No, that didn't sound right.
"Ahem, alright, get up quickly, don't be an embarrassment here."
At this moment, Uncle Fei asked with some uncertainty, "May I ask if you are truly Lord Li Chonglou?"
Li Chonglou glanced at him with confusion, "My name is Li Chonglou."
He didn't know Uncle Fei's relationship with the old woman and quickly shifted his attention back to Tian Yi.
"What are you still crying about? Hurry up and get up, I have something to ask you."
After a while, Tian Yi finally managed to control his emotions, and then, under Li Chonglou's questioning, he roughly understood what had happened outside.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, the mission was considered a success.
It was then that he finally noticed Uncle Fei's abnormality.
Why is this guy looking at me strangely?
However, Uncle Fei didn't speak, he just stood there hesitantly.
"Alright, let's go out first. Have all our people left?"
Tian Yi nodded repeatedly, "They left long ago. Lord Li, why don't you stay on our Donghai Island?"
"Will you support me if I stay?"
"Ah, what does Lord Li need?"
Li Chonglou smiled, "I don't ask for much, just around a billion Chinese Yuan a month."
Well, if Tian Yi could really come up with it, it wouldn't be bad for him to stay, after all, his mission was complete, and he could enter the underground world through the underground mine.
He could use this money to help Zhou Tong establish his own influence.
At that time, he could hide in the shadows and use the resources he had to do what he needed to do!
As he was thinking this, he was interrupted by Tian Yi's voice.
"Lord Li, I believe it's a waste of talent for an adult of your caliber to stay here. The outside is where Lord Li truly belongs!"
"Ahem, actually, a little less is fine too. How about five hundred million a month?"
"Lord Li, this is absolutely not a matter of money!"
Tian Yi said righteously, while Li Chonglou rolled his eyes.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving."
Different paths do not walk together; he had nothing much to think of these people who were not on the same path as him.
"Right, although this was your unauthorized action, it was also a good deed done unintentionally. Thank you."
Li Chonglou waved his hand at Tian Yi. After hearing the cause and effect, he understood some of the details.
And he wasn't referring to tangible benefits, but to his reputation at the General Bureau.
If nothing unexpected happened, his situation should improve when he returned this time.
As he was thinking, Li Chonglou's expression froze.
Damn!
Does this mean that the news of my death has been sent back again?
Li Chonglou's expression changed drastically. He ignored the three people present and took out his phone.
"No signal?"
Tian Yi quickly said, "Lord Li, you can't make calls inside the mine, you need to be at least a hundred meters away."
"Then I'll be leaving!"
As he said this, he was about to walk out, but Uncle Fei suddenly spoke.
"Um."
"Huh?"
Li Chonglou stopped and looked curiously at the man who, from the beginning, he felt had something to say and whose expression was unusual.
"Um, Lord Li, thank you."
Li Chonglou looked at Tian Yi in confusion.
"Oh, it's like this, he's Uncle Fei. I heard his wife also asked for your help?"
Asked me too?
A woman flashed through his mind, and Li Chonglou looked at Uncle Fei.
The latter repeated the matter, and Li Chonglou finally understood.
"Oh, it's nothing, just a small favor, don't take it to heart."
Because he was anxious about the news of his death, Li Chonglou didn't interact much with Uncle Fei. After hastily bidding farewell to the few people, he hurried towards the exit.
Until his figure completely disappeared, the words stuck in Uncle Fei's throat remained unspoken.
After a while, a look of annoyance appeared on Uncle Fei's face.
"You're really not human! You didn't even keep your promise!"
Li Chonglou wasn't from Donghai Island originally, and the people on Donghai Island basically never left. This meant that if Li Chonglou left, they might never have any more interactions.
After leaving the mine, Li Chonglou walked all the way to the beach before calling Old Tie.
"Hello?"
"I'm not dead!"
A speechless voice came from the other end of the phone, "I've never seen a dead person call someone."
Li Chonglou's expression froze.
Something's not right, shouldn't the reaction be different?
"Um, haven't you received any news?"
"What news? Saying you're dead?"
As expected, he had received it! But why was the reaction like this this time? Did he also believe I was fine?
Just as Li Chonglou was wondering, Old Tie's voice came from the phone again.
"Do you have to be so bored? I'm really busy! I haven't even cleaned up your mess yet!"
Li Chonglou, who found it increasingly strange, quickly found an excuse to hang up.
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have been dragged to be a tool."
Li Chonglou directly set his phone to silent. As soon as Old Tie said that, he knew what his intention was!
However.
"He really doesn't seem to know?"
Li Chonglou couldn't quite understand. Logically, Wang Bing had already declared him a martyr, so the General Bureau at the top couldn't possibly not know about this.
Although the Yuan Bei incident had gradually subsided, the attention on him had not completely faded, and many people were still waiting to see the General Bureau's attitude towards him.
Therefore, such a thing should not be hidden.
What Li Chonglou didn't know was that the white-haired man had already treated Wang Bing and the others to private tea to suppress this matter.
Including the slow-to-react Liu Tixing.
General Bureau Executive Branch Base.
The four departments of the General Bureau each had their own independent bases, and each independent base also had its own sub-bases, which were used to distinguish certain affairs.
