Chapter 164: 164, The Qing Consortium is too narrow-minded!

Luolan was still quite renowned at the 113th Wall, often attending ceremonies and banquets and other public events. During such times, private armies usually took charge of security duties, so Xu Xianshu had indeed seen Luolan before.

But Xu Xianshu felt a bit dazed—he never could have imagined he would run into Luolan here!

Yet he quickly realized that behind what seemed like a coincidence, there was an inevitable connection.

Xu Xianshu chose the moment to infiltrate the 109th Wall when the private army was least vigilant in screening trucks, as many smugglers would pick this time to sneak things into the Walls.

At this time, the Qinge Consortium could only smuggle arms into this Li-controlled Wall, so he hitched a ride on a smuggling truck and ran into Luolan, who was about to receive the smuggled weapons...

But this truck alone could probably launch a small-scale war. Was the Qinge Consortium planning to attack the 109th Wall?!

What baffled Xu Xianshu most was that even though he had become so disheveled, he was still recognized at a glance!

In an instant, Xu Xianshu leaped outside, kicked Luolan in the chest, and dashed toward the street. The Qinge Consortium's operatives hadn't reacted yet; if he didn't flee quickly, he might not escape later.

After being kicked, Luolan groaned and fell over, still shouting to those nearby: "Catch that bastard! We must catch him! It's Xu Xianshu!"

The Qinge operatives immediately drew their silenced guns and chased after him, moving swiftly like hunting dogs!

Looking back, Xu Xianshu nearly died of fright. Though he had shadows to block bullets, too many bullets were a problem!

At that moment, Xu Xianshu felt quite puzzled. He had merely been curious about the secrets of Jingshan, and he hadn't even entered the sealed area—why was the Qinge Consortium so petty?!

A group of people were racing through the streets. The Qinge operatives dared not shoot recklessly, even with silencers, as bullets hitting the ground would still make noise and alert Li's forces. Then everyone might have to hide back in the sewers again.

The location where Luolan and the others were was not far from Ren Xiaosu's shop, so Xu Xianshu had only run a few kilometers when he reached the shop's entrance.

At that moment, Ren Xiaosu had been alerted by the commotion outside. He quietly pulled open the roller shutter to peek out, only to see a figure dart past. Looking in the direction the figure came from, he saw over ten black-clad operatives chasing after him.

Wait, weren't those Qinge's people?

After they passed, Ren Xiaosu opened the shutter and saw Luolan, panting, approaching. He asked, "Who are you chasing?"

"Xu... Xu Xianshu!" Luolan gasped. "Ren Xiaosu, have Chen Wudi help me catch Xu Xianshu. I'll give you ten thousand!"

Ren Xiaosu was stunned. Was that Xu Xianshu? How did he end up in the 109th Wall?!

He asked with a strange expression, "Are you sure it's Xu Xianshu?"

"Yes! It's definitely him!" Luolan confirmed.

Ren Xiaosu's teeth ached. He had to help, but he couldn't help the Qinge. Moreover, he wanted to help Xu Xianshu escape!

After all, if the Qinge Consortium caught Xu Xianshu, he might be in trouble!

So, he had to help Xu Xianshu...

Suddenly, the palace spoke: "Mission: Help the fallen escape pursuit."

Ren Xiaosu pondered. According to the palace's judgment, Xu Xianshu was already a fallen person... It sounded quite tragic.

He told Luolan, "Continue chasing Xu Xianshu. I won't get involved in your affairs."

As he spoke, he closed the shutter, ignoring whatever curses Luolan was shouting outside. He went to the backyard and directly climbed over the wall, chasing after Xu Xianshu's direction from the rooftop.

For Ren Xiaosu, the most important thing now was to make sure Xu Xianshu wasn't caught by the Qinge Consortium...

At that moment, Chen Wudi also wanted to go out and see, but Yan Liuyuan looked at him and said, "Your master told you to watch Bai Gujing. If you let Bai Gujing escape, he'll probably have to recite the Tight Embrace Spell for three days and nights..."

Chen Wudi immediately behaved himself. Dong Fusu's hope, which had briefly risen, was suddenly shattered. She still had the ability to escape now, though the ropes were tied a bit tighter, she could still struggle free with some effort.

But what use was just escaping the ropes? She couldn't beat Chen Wudi!

Dong Fusu even suspected whether Chen Wudi was now the strongest supernatural being...

To be honest, Dong Fusu longed to regain her freedom. Whether she drank blood or not didn't matter. As long as she could regain freedom, she would rather be a vegetarian for life...

Just tonight, Ren Xiaosu had a good talk with her, mainly saying that the black medicine he had applied couldn't be given for free—she had to work to earn it back.

How to work? Just washing dishes under Chen Wudi's watch...

Dong Fusu had despaired then. With Ren Xiaosu's ruthlessness, he was practically the same as the Consortium exploiting refugees! She wanted to ask why the money wasn't from Luolan, but her mouth was still numb and she couldn't speak. Ren Xiaosu said that if she didn't speak, it meant she agreed...

At that moment, Dong Fusu longed for freedom more than ever, but with Chen Wudi alone, she might be able to fool him. But Yan Liuyuan was too sharp, always watching her, impossible to deceive.

At that moment, Ren Xiaosu's speed as he darted across the rooftops had reached its peak. In just a few minutes, he heard the footsteps of the Qinge Consortium and others.

He peeked and saw Xu Xianshu desperately running ahead, while Luolan and the others chased after him like madmen. But Ren Xiaosu was a bit puzzled—Xu Xianshu's physical condition should have surpassed that of ordinary humans by now, so why was he running so slowly?

Actually, Ren Xiaosu didn't know that Xu Xianshu was hungry, otherwise he wouldn't have been running so slowly...

As he pursued, Ren Xiaosu thought about how to save Xu Xianshu without offending Luolan.

Wait, didn't he have the sleeping stick artifact?

The next moment, Luolan saw a hand suddenly reach out from the shadow beside him, slapping him hard on the forehead and knocking him flat on the ground...

Luolan suddenly realized this shadow-opening ability—it was Luo Xinyu's signature skill, wasn't it? He roared angrily, "Luo Xinyu, I'll fuck your grandfather! You thugs, when will you stop?!"
