157: No intention of retreating

Xu Ning understood the situation after hearing this. Menskyuk Military Industry had been operating in the shadows for Mr. Harvey, no wonder this private military factory had so many bodyguards.

Initially, when Bear Country followed Eagle Country's example and reformed its military industry for civilian use, private military factories were completely separated from the military, and they had to establish their own security teams.

This was an opportunity for retired soldiers to find re-employment, but later, due to the economic downturn, many military factories were unable to make a profit, let alone maintain security teams. It was rare for a company like Menshiqiuke to be able to afford a hundred-man armed team.

Xu Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, tell me the details of what happened."

"We have our own intelligence system, and if you lie, we will know." He then added, "Also, about Adrian."

"Okay, okay... I'll tell you everything..." Grigory didn't dare to hesitate and spilled everything he knew.

According to Grigory, Mr. Harvey came here as the new person in charge not long ago and began contacting officials in various places, acquiring struggling businesses, especially military factories. Their factory was taken over by Mr. Harvey at that time.

Strangely, after Mr. Harvey's acquisition, he didn't bring them any orders; instead, he ordered them to stop work, which allowed them to live easily.

Grigory continued, "One day, Mr. Harvey suddenly found us and took us to a small room. At first, we were very scared, thinking we would suffer misfortune like the previous Factory Director."

"Later, we found out that he wanted us to see Adrian, who had been captured."

Xu Ning narrowed his eyes and asked, "So you tortured him, got the design drawings for the new naval gun from him, and then killed him?"

Grigory's face turned pale as he argued, "That's not true, Mr. Xu, please believe us. When we saw Adrian, he was already on his last breath. The design drawings were given to us by Mr. Harvey."

After speaking, he nudged Yatoniy, indicating, "Isn't that right, Yatoniy."

Yatoniy, who was next to him, was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement.

However, no one noticed that as Yatoniy nodded, his legs were trembling violently. He knew that Adrian was actually killed by Grigory, and he was present at the time and was terrified by Grigory's methods.

But now he didn't dare to tell the truth because his own background wasn't clean either. If he spoke out, Grigory might go down fighting, and ultimately, everyone would be in trouble.

Xu Ning said, "So where is Mr. Harvey now? Take me to see him."

Thinking of how Mr. Harvey wanted to kill him, Xu Ning was determined to find him and get revenge. Now that he had the tank, his confidence was even greater.

Grigory seemed a little hesitant and finally said, "I... I don't know where he is..."

Xu Ning's eyes immediately became sharp: "How is that possible? If you don't know his location, how did you receive his instructions? Don't treat me like an idiot."

Seeing that Xu Ning seemed about to act, Grigory quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, no, Mr. Xu, how dare I lie to you? Yesterday we knew where he was, but today we really don't know.

Last night, after giving us the order, he went to Kiev and said he would be back in three days. Yatoniy also knows about this, and he can prove it for me."

Yatoniy quickly chimed in, "Yes, it's true, Mr. Xu, I can prove it."

Xu Ning frowned tightly: "What did he go to Kiev for?"

The two looked at each other and replied, "This, we're not too sure."

Xu Ning wanted to press further, but suddenly heard Teacher's warning: "Boss, someone is coming, at least two companies of soldiers, and tanks."

"What?" Xu Ning was startled. His jeep couldn't withstand a tank attack at all.

Looking in the direction Teacher pointed, he saw a team of hundreds of people, fully armed, approaching them in the pouring rain, clearly well-trained.

Xu Ning could tell at a glance that these were real soldiers, not comparable to the rabble under Grigory.

How did these soldiers appear here?

Hearing the sound of the battle, were they here to clear the area?

Xu Ning thought for a moment and said, "The only person in Hulifuka who can mobilize the army is Mr. Makarov. It might be his troops. Let's not act rashly for now and observe the situation."

Soon, the soldiers stopped not far away. The commander found that the battle was over and immediately issued instructions to the team. Then, a new type of military camouflage jeep drove out and headed straight towards them.

Despite the heavy rain, as the car approached, Xu Ning still recognized the person inside, Miss Tanya.

Just as he guessed, this was the border defense force of Makarov Shipyard, and Tanya was here to meet them. Seeing the tragic scene around, Tanya's face turned pale.

The ground was covered with charred bodies and severed limbs, and blood mixed with rain formed streams. Vehicles drove through, splashing blood and internal organs.

Tanya usually worked in an office at the shipyard and had never seen such a terrifying sight. She suppressed her nausea until she reached Xu Ning's car, where she felt slightly better.

She quickly got out of the car and asked with concern, "Mr. Xu, are you alright?"

Xu Ning spread his hands and said with a smile, "Looks like there's no problem for now."

Tanya explained, "We received instructions from Mr. Makarov to support you. We are relieved to see that you are safe and sound."

Despite trying her best to remain calm, Tanya was still shocked. She remembered that Xu Ning had only brought three people for the rescue, but now it seemed that a fierce battle had just taken place here, and Xu Ning was completely unharmed.

Her gaze lingered on Grigory and Yatoniy, who were kneeling in the mud. Clearly, Xu Ning was the victor.

Another soldier got out of the other car. A scar on his face extended from his left eye to the corner of his right mouth, making him look particularly fierce. He looked around and asked loudly, "Where are the enemies?"

Xu Ning spread his palms and said, "As you can see, the enemies have been dealt with by us."

The soldier's gaze was fixed on Xu Ning, his eyes sharp, revealing traces of countless battles he had experienced.

However, Xu Ning met his gaze without fear, showing no intention of backing down.

The soldier was a little surprised, as few people could remain calm under his gaze. What surprised him even more was that the young man in front of him had a gentle and refined appearance, like a scholar.

The soldier composed himself and asked, "Did you do all of this?"

Xu Ning smiled and nodded, "That's right."

Upon hearing this, the soldier burst into laughter: "Haha, well done! Being able to defeat those guys at least proves that you're not incompetent. You must be the young man Mr. Makarov mentioned, right?"

Xu Ning replied, "If the person he mentioned is surnamed Xu, then it's me."
