Chapter 993 - Did We Skip A Few Protocols? (1/2)

At the garrison base of Stronghold 144 in the Northwest, everyone in the conference room held their breaths as they waited for the outcome at Luoyang City.

Everyone was very nervous, including Wang Yun.

This was in spite of Wang Yun being very sure of his own judgment. It was not just a random guess, but a valid deduction.

But even so, he was still a little worried. What if the other party had some other trick up their sleeve? Or could he have escaped in advance again?

These were all uncertain factors.

Ten minutes had already passed since the information was relayed over from the Great Hoodwinker's side.

Suddenly, the phone in the conference room rang. An intelligence agent's voice rang out, ”We've successfully captured him! Future Commander said that we've caught the right person!”

After six days of suffering in the conference room, there was suddenly a chorus of cheers.

For the past six days, everyone could only watch helplessly as Wang Yun started losing weight at a visible rate. He was getting thinner and thinner by the day, and his hair was getting messier while the circles under his eyes became darker and darker. Everyone was feeling very worried and pained for him.

It wasn't much better for the others either. The Great Hoodwinker had been standing guard here the entire time. Zhang Xiaoman took turns leading the soldiers who were assisting Wang Yun's work. Everyone did not even dare to breathe too loudly in the conference room for fear of breaking Wang Yun's concentration.

But now it was finally over!

Wang Yun finally showed a smile. The Great Hoodwinker, Zhang Xiaoman, P5092, and the others all looked at him with smiles on their faces. Then P5092 took the lead and started clapping.

The applause in the conference room lasted for a long while. Wang Yun looked around at everyone. He enjoyed this feeling too much. Compared to everyone's heartfelt admiration, the fame and fortune he had previously sought did not seem particularly important anymore.

P5092 said with a smile, ”Back at Mt. Zuoyun, I already wanted to say that I'm very happy to be your colleague. It's my honor.”

”It's mine too.” Zhang Xiaoman chuckled.

But at this moment, cries rang out in the conference room. ”Wang Yun!”

Wang Yun slowly closed his eyes and collapsed. The Great Hoodwinker quickly caught him and felt his carotid artery before he could feel at ease. ”He's just passed out from overworking. Have the medics give him glucose and saline. He hasn't even had a proper meal in the past few days and kept spending his time here.”

Zhang Xiaoman and his men carefully carried Wang Yun to the barracks, relieving everyone in the conference room.

”Ask Future Commander about the details of the sting operation later. I feel that he's also moving at a rapid pace since he located the mastermind so quickly,” the Great Hoodwinker told the soldiers.

…

In fact, Luo Zongren did not expect Ren Xiaosu to suddenly make a move on him. Moreover, Ren Xiaosu immediately activated City Crusher and attacked with all his might, not giving Luo Zongren any chance to resist.

Luo Zongren's own power was not strong since he was more of a functional supernatural being like Xun Yeyu.

So his biggest mistake was that he was too bold. He dared to try and walk past Ren Xiaosu?

At that moment, Ren Xiaosu remembered Wang Yun had told him the mastermind might pretend that nothing had happened and try to walk past the bookstore. When they encountered each other on the street, Luo Zongren's expression was way too calm even though he was wearing a disguise.

In that kind of environment, one should at least have a curious look on their face if someone were to come running towards them. Moreover, the commotion from the explosion at the bookstore had just subsided, so it was very telling if someone was able to remain that calm at a time like that.

It was just as Wang Yun had evaluated Luo Zongren's personality. He was only a self-proclaimed smart person and not truly smart.
