Chapter 417: Interrogation

Chu Zhiyuan had always been lurking in the shadows, observing how Ding Shaoqiang was handling the situation.

Watching Ding Shaoqiang's determination to take the mine by force, he couldn't help but sigh.

Ding Shaoqiang's actions were too hasty, dealing a decisive blow first by sealing the mine, then capturing the people involved.

Little did he know this was akin to startling the snake by hitting the grass, eventually fearing that nothing would be caught.

This was a starkly different approach from his own, a simplistic and aggressive military style.

Such straightforward actions could lead to endless troubles, making the mine issue difficult to clarify.

Those daring to mine iron privately were no ordinary individuals and must have prepared all kinds of tight protective shells.

Like the cicada shedding its shell, evading capture repeatedly, they're hard to catch.

This comprehensive strike almost ensures their escape.
