In the evening, Zhou Chao and the others were having dinner in the villa’s dining room.
“Boss, have you thought of a name for this little guy?” Lin Wu looked at the small tiger, who was busy gnawing on bones on the table.
“I just randomly gave him a name, Shanjun!” Zhou Chao said while holding a large piece of roasted ribs and eating.
Hearing the name Zhou Chao gave to the little tiger, Lin Wu’s face showed a hint of surprise. “Shanjun, boss, isn’t the alias of a tiger already Shanjun?” “Yeah, but mainly because I couldn’t think of any other name. Shanjun’s name sounds quite imposing, doesn’t it, Shanjun?” Zhou Chao looked at the tiger gnawing on the bone and said.
The little tiger seemed to understand Zhou Chao calling it, lifting its head and let out a couple of roars towards everyone.
The childish roar made Zhou Chao and the others burst into laughter. The little tiger looked a bit confused at everyone, then buried its head and resumed its bone battle.
“Are the plans you organized this afternoon all sorted out?” Zhou Chao inquired, glancing at the now darkened sky outside.
“They’ve been arranged. Lev himself led the team, totaling n people. They’ll be positioned around the gold mine tonight in the form of covert sentries. But boss, do you really think anyone will come?”
Zhou Chao put down the ribs in his hand and pondered for a moment before saying, “There’s a high probability that no one will come, but just in case!”
Actually, Zhou Chao knew that it was unlikely anyone would come tonight. However, it was also a precautionary measure. After all, in the afternoon, Abdullah’s men dug up a golden dog head in the basin.
You see, that golden dog head this afternoon was worth at least tens of millions in US dollars, if not more, and it was even in dollars. If they could dig up something similar again, it would be enough for those people for several lifetimes. It was inevitable that some envious individuals would have some sinister thoughts, such as the members of those two exploration teams.
Lin Wu didn’t say much upon hearing this, as he knew the boss must have his own concerns about the arrangements.
“By the way, is the video of exploring the gold mine ready?”
“We’ve already filmed videos from multiple angles. Tonight, I’ll edit the important parts.”
“Well, this is also just in case. If the Russians really get anxious and make a move, this will be one of our countermeasures.”
“Understood, boss.”
This ranch and the gold mine were all acquired through systematic sign-offs, and Zhou Chao hadn’t spent much money on them. Just think about it, who would willingly let go of such a big piece of meat from the Russians’ mouths so easily? If it were any other person or country, they definitely wouldn’t let you walk away so easily.
You see, that’s a gold mine worth a whopping 680 billion US dollars, which is a whopping 4 trillion in Huaxia currency, the richest of the rich in rich mines!
If Abdul and lya hadn’t shown up at the ranch, Zhou Chao might have had to spend a lot of effort to develop this gold mine. Now with the two of them joining, although there might be more waves in the early stages, once the three parties agree to cooperate, he can sit back and collect money.
After dinner, Zhou Tao took Shanjun back to his room. After all, unlike in China, there wasn’t much nightlife here, and it was too cold outside at night.
The night passed quietly.
The next day, Zhou Chao woke up late, not until the sun was well up. Mainly because the little guy had been tossing and turning by his side all night, and Zhou Chao had only managed to fall asleep late into the night.
Zhou Chao slowly came downstairs with the little tiger in his arms. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw several people standing in the empty space, with several of them still holding weapons.
“What’s going on?” Zhou Chao leaned against the doorway and asked loudly.
Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s call, the crowd dispersed, and Zhou Chao then noticed that there were several people kneeling on the ground, still bound with ropes.
Zhou Chao furrowed his brows slightly and walked over with the small tiger in his arms. Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, he only glanced for a moment, “These are the people who went to the basin last night, right?”
“Yes, Boss, these cunning fellows. It wasn’t until past two in the morning that we found out they were sneaking up the creek against the current. If I hadn’t arranged covert sentries near the creek in advance, they might have succeeded.” Lev’s eyes revealed a hint of pride.
“Well done, I’ll remember your merit!” Zhou Chao smiled and patted Lev on the shoulder, causing Lev to grin from ear to ear.
“Did you find out who they are working for?”
“Boss, we’ve found out. They said they heard someone in the bar in town last night mentioning that there might be gold in our creek. So these people quietly came to see if it was true,” Lin Wu quickly explained.
Zhou Chao chuckled at his words, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes for a moment before disappearing without a trace. “Heh, it seems there are quite a few people with ulterior motives.”
“Boss, how should we deal with these people? Should we send them directly to the patrol station in town?”
After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Chao said, “Let’s send them directly to the patrol station. Chen Nan, take a few men with you!”
“Yes, Boss!” Chen Nan selected three or four people from the security team and then took the kneeling individuals, boarding the Hummer and driving towards the town.
As Chen Nan’s group hadn’t gone far, Zhou Chao noticed several cars coming towards the ranch from a distance. After a moment, they stopped at the ranch gate, and soon seven or eight people got out of the cars, some of them wearing attire similar to that of the patrol department.
“Boss, these visitors don’t seem friendly. Three departments are coming at once,” Lev muttered quietly to Zhou Chao’s ear..
