Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

In fact, as soon as Ximen Lang and his group started shouting down below, telling him to come down quickly, Gu Zidi had already realized that the person who came was definitely not ordinary.

Especially when he saw the guard battalion standing watch on the side, with military bearing and equipment that even the Americans didn't have, clearly the guard battalion protecting these people, and the mine manager who was bowing and scraping, not daring to breathe loudly in front of them, waiting cautiously to the side.

This undoubtedly made Gu Zidi even more convinced that the person who came was indeed truly extraordinary.

But what does this have to do with him, a "crippled" man whose body is half buried in the ground?

How do you say that?

If the people do not fear death, how can you frighten them with death?

He wasn't even afraid of death, so how could he possibly be afraid of the people below him?

So, he doesn't care who it is.

If you're so capable, shoot him dead. If you can't?

Then you should just go and do what you're supposed to do!
No matter what they're up to, he's too lazy to play along, and he has no intention of playing along!
The term "invincible" perfectly describes him right now.

It wasn't until the appearance of his brother Zhao Erdou and his sister-in-law Sun Guiqin that he suddenly realized that even this so-called invincible man had weaknesses.

It was only at this moment that his desire to die finally began to change slightly.

Both were going in opposite directions, and they weren't afraid of death, but they were afraid of involving their brother Zhao Erdou and sister-in-law Sun Guiqin. Even without being called, they would come down on their own without hesitation.

His expression, like he was going to his death, disgusted Ximen Lang.

Especially Zhao Erdou, who was standing to the side, also adopted the same posture. Sun Guiqin, who was still standing there and had not been let in, was even ready to fight him to the death.

This was something that Ximen Lang truly could not tolerate.

He couldn't hold back any longer and immediately berated these ungrateful people.

"What are you all doing?! Seriously, are you all out of your minds?! I was clearly doing this for his own good, but you've turned me into a villain, a major villain at that! Ling'er, tell me, am I a bad person?!"

"That's definitely not the case, but whether he's a decent person or not, I don't know."

"You wait until I have my hands free. Once I do, you'll see how I deal with you!"

He grabbed Bai Ling by the collar and shoved her aside.

Ximen Lang asked Lao Luo, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

"Old Luo, tell me, am I a decent person? Pshaw, am I a bad person?!"

"A bad guy? Who? You? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Don't I know everyone else? There's absolutely no one in this world more kind-hearted than you! I can prove it to you, I can prove it to you!"

"As for whether this is serious or not, don't spout nonsense like Bai Ling. If you don't believe me, go check it out in the history books. If someone else had your abilities, they would have been smugly arrogant by now!"

"Unlike you, really, I'm not flattering you, I'm speaking from the heart, I genuinely think you're practically a perfect person! You're exactly like the sages of old!"

Goodness, Lao Luo is really praising Ximen Lang because he's afraid that Ximen Lang might develop some reclusive thoughts because of what just happened.

Ximen Lang felt a little embarrassed listening to this.

He quickly raised his hand and made a light pressure.

"That's too much, that's too much. Lao Luo, that's a bit much. It's not necessary, really not necessary."

"Was it too much? But I feel like it was just right."

"Just right, is that so?"

"Absolutely! Not only is it just right, but I even think I'm being conservative."

If just now, Bai Ling and the others only felt disgusted by Lao Luo's appearance,

Now, it's simply unacceptable!

Even Hao Pingchuan, who was used to fawning over Ximen Lang, found Lao Luo's behavior utterly disgusting!
It was so disgusting that even Hao Pingchuan felt like vomiting!
If even Hao Pingchuan felt this way, then Bai Ling felt even more strongly.

And because she didn't need to endure like Hao Pingchuan did, Bai Ling didn't hesitate to say the harsh words.

They were so disgusted with it that they couldn't stand it anymore, and they practically rolled their eyes to the heavens.

He said with disdain.

"You two are really disgusting! One of you has the nerve to say it, and the other has the nerve to listen. At least do it behind someone's back! How could you say such disgusting things! And you, how could you listen to such things! From now on, when you go out, don't say you know me, I'll be too ashamed!"

Ximen Lang's face turned a deep liver color from what he said.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Lao Luo felt a little embarrassed by this.

But there was no way to talk about Bai Ling.

Helpless, Lao Luo could only forcefully salvage his reputation by throwing out a remark.

"I'm just telling the truth, it's not as exaggerated as you say."

Then, they immediately changed the subject.

Their gaze turned to Gu Zidi, who was still somewhat unconvinced.

As for Gu Zidi, who almost caused a major accident and brought endless losses to the world of Beijing, Lao Luo didn't have a good look on his face.

He instantly reverted to his boss persona and began to criticize sternly.

"As a man, you're loyal and righteous, a real man! But as a soldier, you're completely unqualified! You're utterly disorganized and undisciplined! What kind of place is this? A mine! Is this a place where you can act recklessly?! Someone kindly advised you, and you even hit them! Who gave you the guts to do this?!"

"Don't think you're something special just because you've done a little work! The word 'hero' doesn't exist in our dictionary! You dare to be dissatisfied? What are you dissatisfied with?! You're the only one who's been wronged?! Even if you've been wronged, you're still standing here, perfectly fine, and you can still throw a tantrum at us! What about those who can never get up again? Those who fell in their last moments before dawn? Weren't they wronged?!"

If someone else had said that, Gu Zidi would definitely have retorted with, "It's easy for you to say that when you're not the one suffering."

Unfortunately, the person who said this was Lao Luo, the superior of his superior, the legitimate holder of original shares, Lao Luo who had experienced almost all the hardships.

This truly left Gu Zidi speechless, unable to utter a single word of farewell.

It was a wake-up call, leaving Gu Zidi utterly ashamed.

She covered her face and squatted down.

Just as Zhao Erdou was about to say a few good words for Gu Zi, Lao Luo glared at him.

He glared at Zhao Erdou, making him swallow all the words he wanted to say.

Lao Luo continued.

"And you! You think you're helping him? Let me tell you, you're not only not helping him, you're harming him! This is utter nonsense! Complete folly! You're making the whole mine do the same!"

He berated Gu Zidi and Zhao Erdou mercilessly, leaving them unable to even lift their heads. Realizing that his words had touched the depths of their souls, their expressions grew increasingly pained.

Luo's expression softened.

Let's stick to the facts and discuss the matter at hand.

"Of course, to be honest, we can't really blame you. After all, we are the ones who didn't do our job well. We failed to provide proper logistical support, which is why this happened. So, on behalf of the logistics staff, I would like to apologize to you. We're sorry you had to go through this."

As he spoke, Lao Luo bowed deeply to the two of them.

Everyone present was deeply moved.

Gu Zidi's eyes were filled with tears. He was at a loss and quickly moved aside. Looking at his body, which was covered in dirt, he was torn between helping him up and not helping him up. He was completely conflicted on the spot.

In just a few words, Lao Luo had trained Gu Zidi.

Of course, it's about winning people over with sincerity.

At Lao Luo's prompting, Ximen Lang, who also felt it was time for him to step forward, also walked directly to the front.

Continuing from the previous topic, he spoke to Gu Zidi and Zhao Erdou in this manner.

“Punishment is not the goal, and of course, I didn’t mean to do anything to you. The reason I told you to come down immediately is because you were in a really dangerous state.”

"You either go straight to the top of the coal mountain to dig, or you dig little by little at the foot of the mountain. If you don't go anywhere and just run to the middle to dig, what if you accidentally hit the wrong spot with your pickaxe and cause a landslide? What will you do then? Have you considered this problem?"

After saying that, Gu Zidi hesitated and stopped.

Ximen Lang interrupted Gu Zidi before he could finish speaking, and continued.

“I know you’re not afraid of death, you might even be seeking it. But how innocent are they? People have died in the mine, what will happen to the mine manager and the others? And what about your brother Erdou, what will happen to him? They will have to bear the responsibility!”

Things are different now than before, especially after Simon Lang repeatedly emphasized the importance of safety to Lao Luo and the others.

Such a serious matter as a death must have someone take responsibility!
And this responsibility clearly lies with the mine manager and Zhao Erdou for condoning and tacitly approving it!

After all, if it weren't for them, outsiders wouldn't even be able to get into Gu Zidi, a purely mining area.

Not to mention doing this halfway up the mountain.

Gu Zidi fell into a long silence after hearing these words.

Seeing that Gu Zidi remained silent, he became desolate.

That was incredibly disheartening.

Ximen Lang couldn't stand it anymore and said.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Trying to kill yourself again? No, I've noticed you're a bit odd! You're always acting like this, not like a real man at all! It's just this little thing, isn't it?! If there's a problem, let's solve it! Is it really worth all this fuss?"

This definitely hits Gu Zidi where it hurts.

Therefore, Gu Zidi immediately began to refute.

"Commander, I don't want it to be like this either! But it's too difficult, just too difficult! We fought so fiercely back then, we were reorganized after winning, and we were reorganized again after losing! I've asked everyone I could, and I've contacted everyone I could! But I just can't find my old unit!"

"My only hope now is to dig up this coal mountain and pull my comrades out of the coal pile. But this coal mountain is so big, and so much time has passed, I don't even know where they are! I really have no other choice!"

"Sometimes I think, it would have been better to have died on the battlefield back then, alongside my brothers! But I just can't die."

The sudden emotional outburst and the tough guy's tears deeply moved Ximen Lang.

But Ximen Lang still had to make sure he said everything he needed to to Gu Zi.

That is.
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't! Digging up this coal mountain that has been accumulating for who knows how many years is difficult for you, but for me, it's not exactly a big deal, if not something I can do easily."

Actually, this is something that can be done with just a few taps on your phone.

In fact, even if it were several times larger, Ximen Lang could easily move it with a flick of his finger.

What is it mainly about?

The main problem is that Gu Zidi's comrades were not buried underground, but buried in a coal pile, and their whereabouts are unknown!

Another thing is that Ximen Lang's abilities are terrifying!
Very soon, very soon!

At most, it would only take the blink of an eye. Such a huge mountain could be completely emptied by Ximen Lang with his unreasonable abilities, and he could even break it up by the roots!

That's just too outrageous!
In conclusion, that's why Ximen Lang wouldn't use his abilities casually.

Of course, this one is unusable.

But his financial power, and the unparalleled prestige he enjoys in Beijing, are still limitless.

so.
"To say this is just a small matter would be a bit arrogant. Let's say it's moderate. Anyway, it's definitely not a difficult task for me!"

"Ten excavators aren't enough? Then bring fifty! Fifty aren't enough? Then bring a hundred! And what about loaders and dump trucks?"

"No need to ask! I don't know about others, but I can definitely provide enough! In short, however many you want, I can get them for you! As many drivers as you have, that's how many cars I have!"

"I'll mobilize hundreds of engineering vehicles at once. This small coal mountain is nothing to brag about. It'll only take a few days to dig it up!"

"It's that simple?"

"Are you kidding? Otherwise, how difficult do you think this could be?"

Gu Zidi was completely stunned by what he heard.

To his utter surprise, what seemed like an insurmountable obstacle to him was actually so simple for Ximen Lang!
I really can't believe it.

After watching the confident Ximen Lang for a while, Gu Zidi couldn't help but ask.

"Even if you could really bring over a hundred machines, it couldn't be that fast, could it? I've seen those machines before; a single shovel can only weigh a few hundred pounds at most. This..."

Gu Zidi actually questioned the great Brother Lang!
He began by sincerely praising Gu Zidi.
"Not bad, you've improved, you're using your skills now."

Then, Ximen Lang explained the situation to Gu Zidi.

"It's not that I look down on you, but what kind of machines have you seen? Compared to the real behemoths, they're just toys at best. No, not even toys! Let me put it this way: if you stacked two of them together, they'd only be as tall as a single wheel! Compared to them, even a hundred-ton behemoth is a child! Do you think they could finish mining this coal mountain in a few days?"

Perfect timing, this place also needs these specialized tools to help them mine.

so.
"Relax, I, Lang-ge, have spoken, so you can rest assured. But before that, there's something I need to ask you."

"When you were ordered to defend the old kiln site to the death, didn't Liu Zeshui really tell you that it was almost certainly a mission to die?" (End of Chapter)
