After finishing her conversation with Inoue Shinji, Yu-jie led the remaining people back to Ishijo without stopping.
Inside the office.
Old Kuai sat in his office chair, fiddling with a pair of white slippers.
Unlike regular slippers, these shoes are noticeably larger than usual, starting at least in size 45.
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Sister Yu strode in.
Old Kuai was startled and instinctively put away the slippers in his hand.
But Yu Jie still saw what he was doing.
"Oh my god, Lao Kuai, we've been married for ages, why are you still doing this?"
Sister Yu laughed heartily and said,
"If you really like it, why don't you just touch it?"
Old Kuai smiled somewhat shyly and quickly changed the subject.
"Xiaoyu, how did things go?"
"Good luck!"
Sister Yu plopped down in a chair, grabbed her teacup, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and then recounted the entire situation at the logistics park.
Old Kuai beamed with joy upon hearing this.
"Honey, you did a perfect job!"
Sister Yu laughed,
"Next, we need to inform Su Chen."
"Yes, leave this to me!"
Old Kuai nodded, took out his communicator, and dialed Su Chen's number.
Although Shicheng is quite far from Yucheng, the Yu family army has set up several signal relay stations along the way, so they are still able to contact Su Chen.
Not long after, Lao Kuai contacted Su Chen.
"Is this Boss Su? It's me, Kuai from the Yu Family Army!"
As soon as the call connected, Lao Kuai turned on speakerphone, his tone becoming extremely heavy and tense.
"Oh no, something big happened!"
"Today we're organizing our forces to join Captain Luo in attacking the Sakura people."
"I never expected the people of Sakura to be so cunning; they actually set a trap!"
"Most of the people were trapped inside the warehouse by the Sakura people."
"Only Sister Yu, despite suffering serious injuries, managed to escape with more than a dozen people!"
Watching Lao Kuai's superb acting skills, Sister Yu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Old Kuai, you're amazing!
Old Kuai gave her a smug look and continued in an anxious tone,
"Boss Su, what do you think we should do now?"
In Lao Kuai and Sister Yu's view, Su Chen must be very anxious after learning that Luo Xiaotian, Wang Yan and others were surrounded by the Sakura people.
His first reaction would definitely be to personally lead a team to Shicheng to rescue Luo Xiaotian and Wang Yan.
But to their surprise, Su Chen on the other end of the phone simply said...
"I see!"
what?
Old Kuai and Sister Yu were both dumbfounded.
No.
Aren't Luo Xiaotian and Wang Yan both your capable subordinates?
They were surrounded by the cherry blossom people, and you didn't react at all?
"Boss Su, it's all...it's all my fault."
Seeing that Su Chen didn't react, Sister Yu frowned and quickly spoke up as well.
She pretended to be seriously injured and said in a weak tone,
"But we... need to think of a way quickly to rescue Captain Luo and Shen Ri!"
"How about this, you come over here, and we'll reorganize our manpower."
However, Su Chen was as stubborn as a mule, determined to succeed.
"Sorry, I don't have time."
"As for Luo Xiaotian and Wang Yan and their ilk, let them fend for themselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chen ended the call.
"Beep beep..."
Hearing the busy tone from the communicator, Lao Kuai and Sister Yu looked at each other, their faces filled with bewilderment!
"Wait a minute, could it be that there was something wrong with my tone?"
Old Kuai frowned.
"Impossible, there's nothing wrong with your performance."
Sister Yu shook her head.
"I think it's because... that bastard Su Chen is too cold-blooded!"
"Very likely. It seems we underestimated Su Chen."
Old Kuai sighed and said helplessly,
"How could Su Chen be a selfless person, having survived the apocalypse until now?"
"Only by being selfish can you avoid danger!"
"Then... what should we do now?"
Sister Yu asked helplessly.
"To be honest, this has stumped me."
Old Kuai stood up, paced back and forth, and pondered for a while before…
"Let's tell Inoue Shinji about this first, and then we'll make some plans."
"Alright, that's the only way!"
Sister Yu agreed to Lao Kuai's suggestion.
……
the other side.
In Normadison.
Su Chen called Zhao Man and the others over and told them that Luo Xiaotian and Wang Yan were trapped.
"These cherry blossom people are so clueless!"
Zhao Man couldn't help but curse.
"Boss Su, we're not really going to just sit idly by and leave Xiao Luo and A Yan here, are we?"
Xu Wenyue said with some concern.
Su Chen rolled her eyes at him.
Do you think I'm that kind of person?
"Of course not."
Xu Wenyue chuckled awkwardly.
"But I don't quite understand, Boss Su, why did you reply to Sister Yu and Lao Kuai like that?"
"The reason is simple: I don't trust them."
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
"Boss Su, quite a few members of the Yu family army are also surrounded by the Sakura people."
"Moreover, judging from Sister Yu's tone, she herself was also seriously injured."
"They should be fine, right?"
Zhao Man asked, puzzled.
"That's what I said, I just simply doubt everyone."
Su Chen shrugged.
"But rescuing Xiao Luo and A Yan will be difficult with just the number of us."
Zhao Man's brows furrowed into a deep frown.
Currently, there are approximately one thousand C-rank transcendents in the Watchers Alliance.
Although it may seem like a lot, it's important to know that the Watchers Alliance has a total of three bases.
Every base needs to be manned.
The elite troops that Su Chen could actually mobilize were only the hundred-odd people in the car, and the seventy-odd people from Luo Xiaotian and Ayan's side.
They knew nothing about the Sakura people.
However, since the Sakura people were able to ambush the Yu family army and Luo Xiaotian, their strength must be considerable!
Ideally, we should join forces with the Yu family army.
But Su Chen doesn't trust the Yu family army, which makes things a bit tricky.
"Everyone, please be patient."
Su Chen smiled.
There's a saying that goes, "It's better to remove the firewood from under the pot than to try to stop the boiling water by adding more water."
"Whether Xiao Luo and his team are surrounded or have already been captured."
"What we can be sure of is that the Sakura people have definitely laid a trap at the logistics park, just waiting for us to fall into it."
"So we can't go directly to the logistics park."
Not going to the logistics park?
Everyone was stunned.
"So where are we going?"
"Go straight here!"
Su Chen pointed to the map on the wall.
When Zhao Man saw the location he pointed to, his eyes widened.
"Go...go to the port?"
"That's right!"
Su Chen nodded emphatically.
“The people of Sakura would never have imagined that we would abandon the logistics park and directly attack the port.”
"Therefore, the security at the port is far more relaxed than that at the logistics park!"
