Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 779: Chapter 592: Trap_3

Hai Chao’s face lit up with joy, showing that he was very much looking forward to it.

The two of them discussed the details a bit more, then dispersed and left separately.

Hai Chao slowly made his way back to the residential building, where the hall was brightly lit. He looked around the hall but did not see Jiu Zhi, Gao Ru, Baozi, and the others.

His brain frantically began to think. Everything he had just said to Duan Mei was only to stabilize him.

Getting rid of Gan Shang, to tell the truth, he still had some doubts.

Firstly, after getting rid of Gan Shang, without him obtaining food from Gan Xiong, it would be quite difficult for all of these people to survive, wouldn’t it?

It had been nearly two years since the apocalypse broke out, and it was getting increasingly difficult to find pre-apocalyptic food supplies.

If he and Duan Mei were to build their own base and grow their own crops, the difficulty would be high; managing so many people who had all followed Gan Shang before the apocalypse but belonged to different departments would be challenging.

There were those who specialized in security, those in charge of demolition, and teams personally recruited by Gan Shang.

With so many people, there would be conflicts and disputes when it came to management.

At least for now, there was Gan Shang pressing down on everyone, ordering all to heed his commands.

Secondly, as for what Duan Mei just said, he couldn’t quite believe it.

Baozi and Jiu Zhi joining, he could believe, but Gao Ru joining, he was not so sure about that. Gao Ru was Gan Shang’s brother-in-law; it seemed unlikely.

The more he thought, the stranger it seemed to him. Slowly returning to his room, he wondered if this might be a conspiracy against him.

As he entered his room at that moment, he saw Duan Mei by the entrance, staring in his direction.

He entered the room without any change in his expression.

After closing the door, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

All of a sudden, in a flash, he remembered how just a few days ago during his meeting with Gan Shang, Gan Shang had been incessantly playing with a string of beads in his hand.

At that time, Gan Shang had said one sentence: ”Without me, you are nothing.”

Why could Gan Shang say such a thing with such confidence? At that time, he was...

?

Suddenly, he recalled the expression on Gan Shang’s face at that time.

It was a confident, almost assured look, and his gaze towards Hai Chao seemed to be laced with a peculiar scrutiny.

In a flash.

His back was suddenly soaked with sweat.

Logically, Gan Shang had treated him quite well before, but his attitude that day was extremely abnormal towards him.

Even if he had not been performing up to par in the past, it wouldn’t get to the point of being denigrated and reprimanded like that, and having some of his people reassigned away.

If he continued with this train of thought, there could only be one reason behind it: Gan Shang no longer trusted him.

Why he would suddenly lose trust in him, there must inevitably be something Gan Shang knew.

And during that time, he himself had not done or said anything.

That could have led Gan Shang to doubt him; there must be some reason behind it, it could not be a baseless suspicion.

This meant that someone definitely told Gan Shang.

If it wasn’t him, and most likely not Duan Mei, then...

Hai Chao remembered the expression on Baozi’s face when he had entered Gan Shang’s room in the beginning.

He hadn’t understood back then, but now, he was starting to get it.

That was a look of scrutiny, examining if you were on the same path as me.

Upon reaching this thought, Hai Chao could no longer sit still.

He opened the door and saw that Duan Mei was no longer in the hall; Hai Chao headed straight for the top floor.

The top floor was where Gan Shang resided alone, occupying an entire floor.

After reaching the top floor, two voices in Hai Chao’s head waged a battle.

Everything was speculation, he was not sure if what he thought just now was correct.

Thump thump~

Hai Chao knocked on the door.

”Come in.” Gan Shang’s voice came from behind the door.

Hai Chao pushed open the door and entered, and as soon as he did, he saw Baozi, Jiu Zhi, and Gao Ru, all three of them were there.

Hai Chao’s pupils shrank. If earlier his speculation only had a 70% certainty, now he was 99% sure of his guess.

Normally, Gan Shang would not call all his subordinates over unless there was an important task.

And now with Baozi, Gao Ru, and Jiu Zhi all here, had he not come over, it would leave just him and Duan Mei out.
