I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 698 Should I tell Su Mo?

Yan Shu had anticipated that he wouldn't be able to find a source of goods nearby.

Even if factories that already had long-term cooperation with the Yan family did not accept his new orders, Yan Shu understood their difficulties. Those factories might not dare to offend the Yan family because of the orders, but they dared not offend the other party even more.

The Yan family's dissatisfaction might cause them to lose a stable, large order, but the other party could make it impossible for them to even keep their factory running. Given the contrast, the choice is not difficult to make.

Of course, Yan Shu cannot cancel his cooperation with those factories because of this, at least not now.

Ichen Province was the first stop Yan Shu had chosen for his trip.

Yidong Machinery Factory is located in the fourth largest city in Yiqing Province (formerly the suburbs of Wenyuan City). This machinery factory can provide Su Mo with almost all the mining equipment he needs, and the factory owner has considerable influence in the northwest of Xia Kingdom.

In fact, no factory or company that has managed to stay afloat since before the insect infestation is simple.

The owner of Ito Machinery dared to cooperate with Yan Shu.

Yan Shu had already communicated with the other party within the StarNet, and this trip was to place an order.

The journey there also passed through the territory of the northern province. Compared to the journey from the first major city, the journey there was even longer, but the journey was smooth and there were no accidents. When they arrived there, Yan Shu successfully signed a contract with Ito Machinery.

Yan Shuxuan's second factory was located in Zhongzhou Province. It was relatively close to Zhongzhou's fifth largest city from the fourth largest city, but he did not expect this incident to occur as soon as he entered the northern province.

Yan Shu's mental energy was recovering steadily. He turned his head to look at the things rushing past outside the car window.

He hadn't had time to think much about what happened so suddenly, but now that he thought about it, the team that ambushed him looked like a third-rate, ragtag hunting party.

The sophisticated weapons they used could only have come from their employer, who was worried that the ragtag hunting party wouldn't be able to handle him, so they provided those weapons.

Was it because his employer didn't want to hire a skilled assassin to kill him?

Yan Shu sneered, "Of course not! It's just that the other party doesn't dare to make it too obvious."

Finding a hunting team of this caliber and setting up an ambush would likely be successful; with him dead, that team probably wouldn't survive past tomorrow.

Yan Shu's face grew increasingly gloomy as he thought about it.

······

Ten minutes later, two tanks from the attackers arrived at the spot where Yan Shu had just rested.

"Boss, it's their car!"

"Why is there only one car parked over there?"

"Hurry over and have a look."

The vehicle that Yan Shu abandoned was not damaged; Chen Gang only removed the battery and the main control chip, and the vehicle remained basically intact.

"Boss, there's nothing in the car, the battery's dead, and it won't start!" The two henchmen went over and searched the car inside and out, then returned to report the situation with considerable regret.

They weren't completely ignorant about tanks; at least they knew what the essential parts were for a tank to start and run properly.

"Can we have this chariot?" one of the henchmen asked, his voice filled with longing. It was far superior to the chariots they used.

"Nonsense! Little Niu, go see if you can drive it away!" The boss pointed to one of his underlings standing outside waiting for orders and commanded.

This is a high-end item from Xinghan, of course I have to take it with me.

If that damned Yan Shu escapes, then he won't get the final payment for this job either. Getting this chariot is a trophy for them, so they won't leave empty-handed.

"Hey! I'll be right there!" The underling, nicknamed Little Cow, moved quickly.

After checking the basic situation, they ran back to their own tanks and rummaged through them. They found batteries and chips among the pile of spare parts. Although they were low-end versions, the parts for Xia Kingdom tanks were all of universal specifications, so these could be used, even if the quality was poor.

The little bull sat in the driver's seat, pressed the start button, and without a problem, the vehicle started smoothly.

Everyone who saw this looked delighted; these were theirs.

Although the calf moved quickly, it still took a few minutes.

One of the underlings, who had been standing outside the boss's window, cautiously asked, "Haven't we given chase yet? The target's tank is going very fast; we might not be able to catch up, boss."

Another henchman chimed in, "We still don't know where that guy will run off to. If he goes to a big city nearby, we won't be able to chase him into the city."

This guy was shot in the thigh earlier. Although he drank a healing potion in time, the potion they bought outside wasn't very effective. The bleeding has stopped and he's recovering, but the area burned by the psionic energy is still very painful.

"Of course we have to chase them! Let's chase them towards Zhongzhou!"

"Get in the car, let's go right now!" The boss patted the outside of the car door a few times, urging all his underlings to hurry up.

As the leader, he spoke directly with the employer and knew more than his underlings.

If the target goes to a nearby big city, then it really has nothing to do with them. The employer seems to have made preparations in the city as well. But if the target doesn't choose to go to the big city, then they still have a chance!

If they want to escape the province from this location, the closest place is Zhongzhou. They should just chase in the direction of Zhongzhou.

Anyway, it's all about taking a gamble.

If they catch up with their target before leaving the northern province, they'll still have a chance to pay the remaining balance. If they can't catch up, they'll still get a nearly new tank, so it's not a bad deal!

The attackers, whose force had grown from two to three tanks, pursued in the direction designated by their leader.

Of course, given the difference in the size of their tanks, the attackers had no chance of catching up with Yan Shu.

They only chased them to the border between the northern and central provinces before the boss called a halt.

The leader stood up and leaned half his body out from the wide-open roof of the tank, looking towards the direction of Zhongzhou, before turning back to look at Bei Province.

After a moment of silence, he patted the roof of the car and said, "Let's go! Let's go abroad and try our luck."

The underlings…

So sudden?

But since the boss had spoken, no one objected.

The three chariots turned around and headed towards the western province along the border between the northern and central provinces. He wanted to cross the country from the western province. His intuition told him that he could not go north and could not turn back.

Meanwhile, Yan Shu, who had successfully left the northern province and arrived in the fifth major city, met with Wu Shun, who had rushed over.

"So, what are you going to do about this?" Wu Shun's slightly chubby face couldn't offer a pleasant expression at this moment.

They've already gone so far as to kill each other. Does the authorities know about this?

Although he escaped a calamity, Yan Shu was not in a good mood. He tapped his screen with his finger.

"The car I abandoned had a GPS tracker, and I've already sent someone to deal with it. If those guys aren't lucky, well..."

“They dared to use rocket launchers against you; they deserved to die!” Wu Shun said coldly.

Although those people weren't the masterminds, but just doing the job for money, they had already taken the job, and they were going to die anyway. The difference was whether they died from the employer's attempts to silence them or from their own revenge; the outcome would be the same.

The main problem is the people behind it.

"Should we tell Su Mo about what happened today?" Wu Shun asked.

"I don't need to tell her about this small thing that I can handle myself," Yan Shu shook her head.

"Alright, as long as you have a plan."
