Chapter 726: Action

"What? You approve of Qian Fu's plan? He's crazy, and so are you! Absolutely not!" Li Huowang stared at Qing Wanglai with wide eyes.

"Of course, it's not the kind of bait he was talking about. Since you've mentioned it, we can treat you as a stake to guard the rabbit and catch them first."

"Do you take me for a fool? That's the same thing!"

"No, it's not the same thing at all. Rest assured, we won't discard you like mere bait. Since you can sense them, you are our eyes. Do we casually discard our eyes?"

Li Huowang understood this; the other party was indeed right.

Since this matter was no longer just his problem, he was now on their side.

No matter what other intentions they harbored, as long as they were burdened by the current predicament, it was highly unlikely they would act against him.

However, Li Huowang also considered that he couldn't be manipulated as a pawn, especially since they had known each other for a long time, and he had only just met them.

After calming Li Huowang for a while, Qing Wanglai continued, "Since we are all projections, we need to first determine what they are projecting onto our side. If they are projections, then they must also abide by the rules of this projected world."

"Once we identify them through an ambush, we can use the rules of this world to our advantage."

"Furthermore, if possible, I'd like to negotiate with them. Ideally, we can resolve this trouble through communication."

"Actually, if you think about it, many things can be resolved through communication."

"Alright!" Li Huowang nodded immediately. He decided to ignore the man's talk of projections for now; since those people had directly crashed a large truck into him, he naturally had to retaliate first.

It would be best to gather conclusive evidence proving their malicious intent towards him, rather than it appearing that he and his group were going crazy!

Only then would others believe him if he called the police.

"Hehehe... it's useless, it's all fake, all fake..." Zhao Lei's self-deprecating voice reached Li Huowang's ears. "There are no projections, no danger. You can't even make up a decent story; it's too clumsy."

Li Huowang frowned slightly, glancing at the strange man, and thought to himself, 'What's wrong with this guy, always muttering about things being fake?'

Sensing Li Huowang's confusion, Wu Qi, who was leaning against the wall smoking, explained, "It's fine, don't mind him. He's always like this; he's gone mad with nihilism. Just consider everything he says to be nonsense."

Li Huowang ignored the man and looked at Qing Wanglai. "How about we make our move tonight? They're becoming increasingly brazen. If we delay any longer, more trouble might arise."

He couldn't afford not to be anxious. Others were crashing trucks into them; if he didn't act quickly, there wouldn't be time left to be anxious.

"I have no objection. What about the rest of you?" Qing Wanglai asked the others.

After going around and asking everyone, Qing Wanglai raised his hand and checked the time on his watch. "It'll be dawn in a few hours. If we're going to act, we need to hurry."

After finally reaching an agreement, they all came down from upstairs. Except for Zhao Lei, who got on his motorcycle, everyone else boarded Wu Qi's RV.

"Sister Wu, please stop at the university entrance. I need to go to the dorm to get some things."

"Old Rich Man, the steering wheel is in my hands. If you want me to do something, you should at least show some appreciation, right? How about filling up my tank when we pass a gas station?"

"I'm really speechless. Who steals gas these days?"

"Heh, fine."

"No problem! Didi Express 0254 is happy to serve you!" Wu Qi floored the accelerator, and the RV sped away from Orange Islet.

Wu Qi's RV was bulky, but she drove it faster than Qing Wanglai's sports car, arriving at the university entrance very quickly.

"Heh... fake... the dorms would be closed by now... what could you possibly get? You're all deceiving me," Zhao Lei muttered to himself, stopping his motorcycle beside the RV and watching Qing Wanglai enter the university.

At that moment, Li Huowang was extremely nervous. He clenched his fists, wondering what would happen next.

"We might encounter them. No, I need a proper weapon!"

He looked left and right, then pulled open the drawer beneath the induction cooker. He directly stuffed the vegetable cleaver from inside into his embrace, and only then did his anxiousness subside slightly.

"If all else fails, I'll just chop off a head! I refuse to believe the police would still think I'm making things up after that."

Twenty minutes later, Qing Wanglai boarded the RV with his hands in his pockets. However, the RV had barely driven for a short while before it stopped again.

"They're here! They're already here!" Li Huowang tensed up, his left eye fixed on the sleeping city outside. "I can feel them! They're watching me!"

"No need to go back to the residential area! We can handle this out here!" Li Huowang immediately made a decision; he didn't want to involve his family in these matters.

Regardless of whether his parents believed his story, it wouldn't be a good situation.

"How many people?" Qing Wanglai asked.

"Three... no, four!"

Soon, Li Huowang, his head wrapped in white gauze, got out of the vehicle. Leaning against Yang Na, he slowly walked forward with her support.

Only Yang Na, who was standing close by, was extremely nervous, barely managing to restrain herself from looking down. She knew that the person leaning against her wasn't Li Huowang, but Sister Wu, who had changed into Li Huowang's clothes.

Meanwhile, the real Li Huowang had already taken the others to get off further ahead, planning to circle back and apprehend the targets.

"Is that kid your boyfriend?" Wu Qi whispered.

"Mm-hmm..."

"Then you've really got it tough, ending up with a boyfriend like that. With your background, being with him is practically charity work."

As soon as Wu Qi finished speaking, a cry of alarm suddenly echoed from the alley to the left. Wu Qi shouted to Yang Na to stay put and then rushed over.

As she rushed in, she saw Li Huowang, his expression fierce, holding a cleaver high and frantically chasing three people ahead of him. "Stop! Don't run!!"

Li Huowang was burning with anxiety at that moment. He had finally found real people, and he absolutely couldn't let them get away now!

A motorcycle engine roared to life, and Zhao Lei suddenly darted out from the side, blocking the path of the three individuals.

The three instantly scattered; one ran to the left, while the other two ran down the alley to the right.

Seeing Zhao Lei ride his motorcycle to pursue one person, Li Huowang immediately charged after the other two.

With his left hand splinted and his previous injuries, Li Huowang was unwilling, but he could only watch as the two ran further and further away.

Just as Li Huowang thought all his efforts would be in vain, the two running figures suddenly stopped, frozen in place.

When Li Huowang, still panting and gripping the cleaver, approached, he saw Qing Wanglai standing before them, pointing a handgun at them.

However, when Li Huowang saw the appearances of the two individuals, his pupils instantly constricted.

One of them had been to Kangning Hospital! They had been monitoring him from such an early stage.
