283 Breaking in (1/2)

As they drove back to the stronghold, Wang Yuchi and the others could finally let out sighs of relief. That was because Li Qingzheng was the one driving now.

Previously, everyone did not realize how important Li Qingzheng was. It wasn't until they were tortured by Ren Xiaosu's crazy driving that they began to miss Li Qingzheng.

Upon thinking about it carefully, everyone felt that it was truly necessary to rescue Li Qingzheng. With Ren Xiaosu's wild driving, who knew when they would get into an accident.

Ren Xiaosu calculated the time and said to Li Qingzheng, \”It should take us about 40 minutes to return to the stronghold. That was how long it took for us to get here. But since your driving isn't as good as mine, you'll definitely take longer.\”

Li Qingzheng turned his head and looked at Ren Xiaosu blankly. He wondered where Ren Xiaosu found the confidence to even say such words.

He heard Ren Xiaosu add, \”Li Shentan said that his troops will attack in an hour. We should be able to get back to the stronghold by then.\”

When Li Qingzheng heard that, he stepped harder on the accelerator and asked, \”Why didn't you dissuade that lunatic from attacking the stronghold?\”

Ren Xiaosu was silent for a moment. Yang Xiaojin had mentioned Li Shentan's background to him after they escaped from Stronghold 109. He knew very well why Li Shentan was so against the Li Consortium.

Ren Xiaosu related the entire story to Li Qingzheng and then said, \”If I could've dissuaded him, I'd've already done so. However, no one can stop him since he's really determined to have his revenge. Besides, his mother died because of the Li Consortium, so who has the right to persuade him to stop his revenge? Putting myself in his shoes, if the situation had happened to me, I would've destroyed the Li Consortium a long time ago.\”

What Li Shentan wanted to achieve was not only getting his revenge. He wanted to drag the entire Li Consortium down into Hell.

Although Ren Xiaosu did not agree with Li Shentan's approach, nor was he on the same side as Li Shentan, he understood how he felt.

\”But no matter what, I'll still beat him up if I get a chance,\” Ren Xiaosu added seriously.

The truck arrived back in the stronghold 50 minutes later. Just as Ren Xiaosu had predicted, Li Qingzheng's driving was a little slower than his.

After getting into the stronghold, it would take at least another 40 minutes to drive from the north gate to Baoyuan Alley where Yan Liuyuan and the others were staying.

Ren Xiaosu kept urging Li Qingzheng to drive faster. \”Hurry up, or we're not going to make it in time!\”

Ren Xiaosu was getting really worried. If they could not get to Baoyuan Alley when the stronghold descended into chaos, it would become even more difficult to find Yan Liuyuan and the others.

Even though Ren Xiaosu knew that it was already too late, he was still unwilling to give up.

But as the truck sped through the streets, Ren Xiaosu suddenly started wondering about the time. \”This isn't right! It's already been an hour, but why has nothing happened yet?\”

All of a sudden, Ren Xiaosu realized something. \”Fuck, that bastard lied to me!\”

If it were really as Li Shentan had said regarding the will of the hypnotized subjects not getting disrupted by anything after hypnosis, Li Shentan's combat brigade should have already launched their attack. However, they did not.

\”It seems that time isn't as tight as we thought.\” Ren Xiaosu heaved a sigh of relief and said, \”But we still have to quickly get Liuyuan and the others out of this place. Stronghold 108 has become a dangerous place, and who knows when it will turn into purgatory?\”

Since they were new to Stronghold 108, they did not know the way around very well. Fortunately, a student had bought a map of the stronghold from the grocery store next door when they were eating lunch. Ren Xiaosu gave directions from the passenger seat while Li Qingzheng drove without any distractions.
