"What? You mean you were chased here?" Old He looked at Lando in shock. "What happened? You didn't say that just now."

Lando feigned sadness, "Oh, I don't know what happened either."

There were actually more than forty people in our camp, but just a week ago, a group of people suddenly broke in and started killing everyone they saw.

They said they killed all the men and imprisoned the women for their amusement.

Although I'm old, I still want to preserve my innocence. I'd rather die than agree to this, so I ran away.

Lando wiped away a few tears.

Old He's compassion immediately welled up. "Do you want me to help you get revenge?"

Lando quickly stopped her, "No...no, I don't want you to help me get revenge."

If those people track you down here, you must let me know in advance.

I...I don't trust that man, I can only trust you.

That one sentence, "I only trust you," made Old He dizzy with rage, and he retorted angrily, "Don't worry, I'll definitely tell you first when the time comes!"

Lando lowered her head, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "Old Chu is actually dead. It was the group of people who were chasing me who did it."

I've met with him, and he even suggested that we come and live in your camp.

He said he would take us with him when he went back.

But unexpectedly, he encountered that group of bandits on the road, so...

Old He clenched his fists. "I'll arrange for you to stay right away, and then I'll go tell the boss."

Lando said, "You can go now, don't worry about us, we'll wait for you here."

Old He hesitated for a moment.

Lando said, "I understand. Judging from your appearance, you must have a very good relationship with Chu Laosan."

He's in trouble. I understand how you feel. Your brother is the most important person to you.

Go quickly, I'll wait for you.

Old He looked at Lando gratefully, "Thank you, I'll try to come back as soon as possible. If you're cold, come to my house, I live over there..."

He pointed to his house.

Lando hummed in agreement, "Okay, I understand."

Old He strode to Bai Zhan's residence. "Boss, I have news about Chu Laosan!"

Bai Zhan was stunned, turned around and asked, "Did that woman tell you that?"

Old He nodded, "Yes!"

He repeated what Lando had just told him.

Bai Zhan frowned slightly after hearing this. "Why did Old Chu go so far?"

Old He thought of what had happened some time ago and asked, "Is it possible that they attacked Chu Laosan back then?"

They attacked Lao Diao and his gang while you were away…

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhan said solemnly, "It is indeed possible. Go and make more contact with those people, ask them where their camp is, and where Lao Chu went."

Then assign a few people to go and search.

Old Chu is our brother! We need to see him alive or dead!

Bai Zhan's hands were trembling.

Old Chu and Han Cheng were his right-hand men, but he lost two of his generals in a civil war. Otherwise, he wouldn't have promoted Old He.

Old He is good at handling small matters, but he's not so good at handling big matters. He's not bold enough and not decisive enough.

It would be best to find Sun Chengwu. If Sun Chengwu were here, he wouldn't be having such a hard time.

Old He left Bai Zhan's residence.

When he got back, he didn't see Lando and the others.

He searched for a while and finally found Lando, asking, "Where did you all go?"

Lando explained, "I need to use the restroom, and there are a lot of people around here..."

Old He breathed a sigh of relief and reminded them, "Don't wander around. We divide residential areas according to rank. If you wander around and get caught, and are sentenced in a small court, I can't protect you."

Lando just explored the area to familiarize herself with the terrain.

They also went to Lao He's house and found that Lao He was penniless.

She asked, "What will happen after the verdict?"

Old He explained, "If it's the first offense, it's a warning, and you have to do manual labor."

Frequent violations will result in a demotion.

Lando asked, "With my status, I shouldn't be able to be demoted any further, right?"

Old He nodded. "If they can't be downgraded, they'll be expelled."

Old He didn't say much about the issue. "Come with me, you can settle in first. Someone will take care of your identity matters."

Old He led them to a small room of about 20 square meters.

Inside, there was only a stove, a heated brick bed, and a chimney.

Old He said, "Although there are many of you, we can't give you more rooms before you are assigned a grade."

Please bear with me for now. I will follow up with you in the next couple of days and arrange for someone to review your application as soon as possible.

As for food, they won't starve, but there's not much either.

By the way, what should I call you?

Lando said, "You can just call me Doro."

Old He glanced at the four black men behind Lando and said, "You come out first."

Lando followed Lao He outside.

Old He pulled a piece of grass cake out of his pocket. "Here, have this to tide you over."

Don't let them see it.

Lando frowned when she saw the dark, unappetizing grass cake.

However, she still accepted it, feigning gratitude and saying, "Thank you."

Old He warned, "I don't know what your relationship is with them, but they don't look like good people. It would be dangerous for you to live with them."

"How about this, if you don't mind, come back with me..."

Lando interrupted, "No need to trouble yourself. They helped me along the way, and you can't discriminate against them just because of their skin color."

I live with them, but if I'm with you, I'm afraid people will gossip.

To impress Lando, Lao He immediately boasted, "Who in this camp dares to talk about me behind my back? I'm the boss's favorite now."

If it weren't for his identity, Lando wouldn't have paid him any attention.

Lando gave him plenty of emotional support, exclaiming in shock, "Really?"

"You're that amazing?"

Old He's vanity was greatly satisfied. "Yes, the boss trusts me a lot. Apart from him, I'm the one who calls the shots here."

Just tell me what you need, and I'll do my best to meet it.

Lando hesitated, "Isn't this a bad idea? Won't it affect you?"

Old He shook his head and said, "It won't affect anything. It's just arranging for someone; I can still manage that."

Lando cursed him as an idiot in her heart, but smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble you from now on."

Seeing Lando's smile, Lao He's heart skipped a beat; he felt that Lando must like him.

Although she's definitely married at her age, she's all alone now, either her husband didn't come on the plane with her, or he's dead.

He considered himself to be somewhat charming, and having gained Bai Zhan's appreciation, he became a little smug.

He said, "I have other things to do. If you need anything, come to my house and wait for me."

Lando nodded. "Okay, I understand."
