In this scenario, he could act oblivious to the events that transpired, asserting that he had found no valuable leads for the investigation. Ultimately, he couldbel this incident as an unsolved case and attribute it to a mysterious adversary.


    This approach meant that even if the English Lord faced repercussions, they wouldn’t be overly severe.


    After all, if the British Lord himself was unable to discern the identity of the enemy lurking behind him, it was unlikely anyone else could. Furthermore, there were already two precedents in New York and Northern Europe that supported this notion.


    As Wu Shutong contemted this, he felt a sense of relief wash over him.


    He reasoned that while his current predicament was more significant than what had urred in New York and Northern Europe, the worst he could expect was the loss of his position as the governor of the right army governor’s mansion. At the very least, he could secure his own life.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">

    Before long, the heavy machinery that had been tirelessly digging through the wreckage and conducting drilling operations came to a sudden halt.


    Following this, the workers began to withdraw from the subsidence area one by one.


    As per higher-ups’ directives, all excavation and drilling activities were to be concluded at this stage.


    Seeing this development, Wu Shutong felt a wave of reassurance and quickly signaled for others to evacuate without dy.


    Once a few of them gathered outside the copper mine, Wu Shutong purposefully inquired, “Did you uncover any clues?”


    In response, everyone shook their heads, their expressions filled with disbelief.


    Among them, Wu Shuhang, Wu Shutong’s younger brother, remarked, “Commander, I just surveyed the subsidence area, and it’s aplete wreck. The disparity between the center and the surrounding t terrain is over ten meters. Investigating it is impossible! If we want to understand what happened inside, we would need heavy machinery.”


    Another individual added, “But they’ve already begun dismantling the digging tools, so they probably don’t intend to continue with the investigation.”


    Wu Shutong replied, “I just heard from theirmander that they received orders from above to fill this area within 72 hours.”


    Wu Shuhang sighed in resignation, saying, “In that case, without heavy machinery, it’s impossible to uncover any clues. Since they’re not conducting checks, and we can’t mobilize equipment to investigate further, once they start backfilling, our chances of finding anything will vanish…”


    “There’s no other option,” Wu Shutong said, feigning mncholy in his calm tone. “They will clear out all personnel from the subsidence area soon. At that point, we won’t be able to sneak in unnoticed to search for clues, and it won’t be long before they begin backfilling. We don’t need to linger here, so let’s evacuate and return to the British Lord to see what he has to say.”


    “Understood!” The others recognized theck of alternatives and readily agreed.<fn2934> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? Find1Novel</fn2934>
