"But this isn't the Kyung Clan's territory." Sister Xiaoyu said worriedly, "Will it work if we look for Luo Lan?"
"Since he can give us the rights to become stronghold residents, it shouldn't be difficult for him to do this, right?" Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it'll be a problem."
"Then what if he doesn't show up tonight?" Sister Xiaoyu asked curiously.
Off to the side, Yan Liuyuan said, "It'll be fine. Dong Funan is still in our hands …."
But just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a vehicle approaching from the street. Ren Xiaosu turned around and saw Luo Lan sitting smugly in the front passenger seat.
When the vehicle came to a stop in front of the shop, Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Lan. "You got another new car?"
Speaking of which, Luo Lan was really rich. Sister Xiaoyu said she had gone to the car dealerships and asked around. But regardless of whether the cars were good or not, they were all sold at sky-high prices.
Meanwhile, Luo Lan had already changed cars several times in just a few days.
But what Ren Xiaosu did not know was that these so-called sky-high priced cars were just toys to the consortium's financial strength.
Luo Lan jumped out of the car and said with a chuckle, "Why are you all standing at the entrance?"
"Wang Fugui has been arrested by the Public Order Division," Ren Xiaosu said straightforwardly.
Luo Lan was stunned. "What happened?"
Ren Xiaosu told him what had happened. Luo Lan frowned and said, "It looks like your black medicine has been targeted by someone. It's probably because the medicine is too effective that someone in the stronghold wants to take it for themselves. I've seen this kind of tactic many times. First, they'll find all sorts of things to stop you from doing, then they'll get someone to talk to you about buying the formula."
"Buying the formula?" Ren Xiaosu asked with a sullen face. No one in this world could snatch the formula of the black medicine from his hands. After all, even he did not know what the formula was …
"This matter definitely isn't over yet." Luo Lan said, "There are still a lot of troublesome matters to come. Even if you solve one, another will follow. They'll make you very anxious and then buy the black medicine's formula from you at an extremely low price."
"Let's not talk about that for now." Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Lan. "Does the Kyung Clan consortium have anyone in the Public Order Division?"
Luo Lan said, "Yes, two of our brothers were arrested two days ago …"
Ren Xiaosu: "???"
Ren Xiaosu was so angry that he almost laughed. "Is that what I'm asking …"
"Hahaha, I was just joking with you," Luo Lan said cheerfully.
"But have all of your Kyung Clan members been arrested?" Ren Xiaosu was speechless. He had wanted to get Luo Lan's help to get someone out of the Public Order Division, but he did not expect that even the Kyung Clan consortium's own people would be arrested.
"You've misunderstood." Luo Lan explained, "I've already spoken to Lu Yuan, and Wang Fugui will be released tonight."
"Then why didn't you get your own people out?" Ren Xiaosu was puzzled.
Luo Lan said a little awkwardly, "I can't admit their identities yet."
With that, Ren Xiaosu understood. Luo Lan's two brothers who were arrested must have done something shameful under Luo Lan's orders. Therefore, Luo Lan could not get them out of jail, but he could still get Wang Fugui out.
But before he could finish speaking, he saw Wang Fugui walk into the shop. Ren Xiaosu was shocked. "Old Wang, weren't you arrested by the Public Order Division?"
"Oh." Wang Fugui explained, "I just arrived at the Public Order Division, but they seemed to have received a notice from the higher-ups and sent me back."
"Who informed you?" Ren Xiaosu wondered, "They didn't do anything to you, did they?"
"No, no. Someone said it was Lu Yuan, the stronghold's overseer, who informed them to release me." Wang Fugui smiled as though nothing had happened.
Next to him, Luo Lan said smugly, "What do you think? They still have to give me face. That kid, Lu Yuan, is sensible."
But Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that something was amiss. No matter how much Lu Yuan gave Luo Lan face, he shouldn't have released him without even informing Luo Lan.
Could there be some other reason behind this? But Ren Xiaosu did not know what the relationship between Lu Yuan and the Kyung Clan was, so he could not determine the specifics of the situation.
In any case, it was a good thing that Wang Fugui was released first.
"Alright, you guys continue chatting. I'll go talk to Dong Funan." Luo Lan said with a smile, "There'll definitely be other matters after this, but I'll definitely be able to resolve them if you look for me."
"Now that Lu Yuan has made an appearance, will those people still continue to pester us?" Ren Xiaosu wondered.
"People are tempted by money." Luo Lan explained, "As the saying goes, it's easier to deal with the King of Hell than it is to deal with the little devils. Besides, Lu Yuan isn't the actual controller of Stronghold 109. Who knows, the people who are after your black medicine might be from the Li Consortium? Or perhaps they might have something to do with the Li Consortium. People like them can make you feel bad for a long time just by disgusting you. "
Ren Xiaosu fell silent. This was the first time he had come face to face with the truly vile hearts of the people in the stronghold. If robbing people in the wilderness was done with knives, then the people in the stronghold were done with blunt knives.
But at the end of the day, weren't they all just robberies?
Dressing up in suits and leather shoes did not change the nature of these people who were bandits.
Ren Xiaosu said, "Thank you in advance. If anything happens again, I'll look for you immediately."
Luo Lan said with a smile, "Now that we've entered the stronghold, we'll have to get used to the environment there. Just thinking about fighting and killing won't do. Tang Zhou, give them our phone number."
Ren Xiaosu suddenly wondered, "But haven't you been doing all this fighting and killing lately?"
"Hahahaha, is that so?" Luo Lan laughed awkwardly and said, "That's also part of my strategy!"
"What strategy?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"Look at how the Li Consortium treated their research results like it was a treasure. They used all of their troops to protect that precious research." Luo Lan said proudly, "Look at what's happening now. They can't sit still any longer after causing so much trouble. They have no choice but to divert their attention elsewhere. In this way, won't the university's defenses be slacked off?"
Ren Xiaosu said in surprise, "You can even think of something like that? Why do I feel like you're just making up an excuse? "
Luo Lan said unhappily, "Who are you looking down on? I can't be bothered to talk so much with you. What a waste of time!"
After Luo Lan went into the backyard, Ren Xiaosu told Wang Fugui and the others, "It's better to be more careful for now."
"Isn't there a direct and permanent solution to this?" This was also the first time Wang Fugui had encountered something like this. "What kind of people are they? Even the wilderness doesn't have such disgusting things."
Ren Xiaosu sighed. "We used to think that the stronghold was paradise, and all the refugees wanted to get into the stronghold. But it's only when I got here that I realized there's no such thing as paradise in this world."
