In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

That made sense, and Mo Nan didn't object. Instead, he ordered his subordinates to put away their blades.

As soon as the blade was sheathed, the tense atmosphere instantly eased. The people present exchanged glances, and the hostility in their eyes gradually faded.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Lu Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Mo Nan, saying, "I have treated you with sincerity. I wonder how you can believe in our sincerity."

Let's not beat around the bush. The atmosphere wasn't as tense as it had been at the beginning, and both sides calmed down a bit.

Hearing Lu Zheng's question, Mo Nan didn't say much, but instead asked, "What is your purpose in contacting us? Tell me honestly what you want to do."

When Lu Zheng heard Mo Nan's question, he didn't mince words and said directly, "I'm sure you've heard about it, sir. We don't agree with using refugees to besiege the city. We don't want to sacrifice the lives of ordinary people."

"The main purpose of sending troops is to survive and save more lives, but if we have to sacrifice the lives of refugees to achieve so-called success, we think it is not worth it."

That's quite true. Mo Nan believed it to some extent, but he was still a long way from completely trusting it.

“While that sounds somewhat believable, do you think we can trust you?” Mo Nan asked bluntly.

Mo Nan's bluntness made Lu Zheng pause for a moment before he asked, "How do I need to prove it?"

"How to prove it isn't urgent. I'd like to ask you a few questions," Mo Nan said.

Time was of the essence, and there was not much time to waste. As time ticked by, Lu Zheng became increasingly anxious. He said, "As you know, sir, they are investigating the so-called truth over there. It is truly remarkable that we were able to find the time to come."

Lu Zheng spoke sincerely, and Mo Nan, eager to resolve the issue quickly, asked, "Tell me your plan. What were you originally planning to do?"

Seeing that Mo Nan spoke so directly, Lu Zheng had some guesses in his mind, so he said directly, "I think our goals are the same. We both want to stop the refugees from besieging the city and we don't want to see a tragedy happen."

This was indeed true. Mo Nan nodded, and Lu Zheng, seeing Mo Nan's agreement, continued, "Your methods have been effective, but those people have already noticed and will likely take action soon. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals."

"So what can you do for us?" Mo Nan asked, getting straight to the point.

That hit the nail on the head. Lu Zheng said directly, "Break the fire. I can tell you about their next plan so you can act in advance and thwart their scheme."

Normally, such words should be spoken more subtly, but Lu Zheng did not. He spoke clearly, and repeatedly informing others was perfectly normal.

Lu Zheng acted normally, but Mo Nan couldn't help but ask, "Wouldn't that make you a traitor to the North? Aren't you afraid they'll hold you accountable?"

This question hit the nail on the head. Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng looked up and solemnly met Mo Nan's gaze, saying, "So this is my pledge of loyalty. I will be your inside man, and I also hope that after the war, you can give my men a place to stay."

Upon hearing this, Mo Nan raised an eyebrow and said, "You believe we can win?"

Lu Zheng said, "I don't know your specific strength, but I know the allure of food."
