"No. They are indeed criminals, and they were imprisoned because of their cris. But you must understand, their cris were theft and computer fraud; they never committed murder. Given their offenses, a few years of imprisonnt would suffice. However, Yu Peng, to satisfy his own desires and have more people at his disposal, spared no effort to transfer them from various prisons to Yan City Prison. Once there, they stayed for years, even decades, with no chance of release. To my knowledge, among the dozen or so prisoners I brought out, seven had already served their sentences, but Yu Peng kept finding excuses to extend their terms, preventing them from getting out. So tell , was it wrong for to bring them out?"
After hearing Tang Guolun’s words, Ling Chen knew there was no need to continue the topic.
Perhaps those prisoners were wrong, but the real culprit was Yu Peng, who secretly manipulated everything and hard innocent people.
Thinking of this, Ling Chen shifted his focus and said, "Boss Tang, there’s sothing I’d like to ask you. When you were in prison, you told that your friends were killed by people from the God Organization and you wanted to avenge them. I wonder if this is truly your heartfelt wish or... if you just said it casually."
"That’s my heartfelt desire." Tang Guolun said earnestly, "I once swore that if given the chance, I would certainly avenge them. You should know that I am a person who always follows through on my words."
After a pause, Tang Guolun asked, "Are you asking these questions because you want to collaborate with ?"
"Yes." Ling Chen nodded and said, "I ntioned before that I’ve been fighting against the God Organization. Unfortunately, my strength is too weak, and the God Organization has been established for decades with solid foundations. It’s difficult for alone to take them down, so I hope to join forces with so like-minded people to fight against the God Organization."
Actually, since escaping from Yan City Prison, Ling Chen had been worried. Although Tang Guolun previously promised to help him, they had now escaped the prison and were free. With Tang Guolun’s skills, if he wants to leave Beijing, he could do so at any ti, going wherever he likes without being found.
Because of this, Ling Chen wanted to ascertain whether Tang Guolun genuinely intended to help him.
"Ling Chen, I know what you’re worried about. Rest assured, I never go back on my promises. Also, I enjoy challenges, and taking down the God Organization is a good choice."
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen smiled slightly, feeling much more at ease.
After chatting with Tang Guolun for a while, Ling Chen saw Yuan Yun climb over the wall from outside, carrying dozens of buns and soy milk in plastic bags.
"Ling Cheng, got up early, huh? Hungry? Co, try these freshly stead buns." After speaking, Yuan Yun glanced at Tang Guolun beside him and invited him with a smile, "Join us!"
While having breakfast, Ling Chen asked, "Third Brother, did you notice anything when you went out to buy breakfast?"
"The entire city is on lockdown, and the police force in all places has doubled. Additionally, the police are conducting a phased search of various areas in Beijing. I’ve discovered that it’s impossible to leave Beijing now unless we disperse."
Ling Chen and Tang Guolun exchanged a glance, a faint smile in their eyes.
"Third Brother, just as we thought. That’s exactly what we’re thinking. If we leave together, we’ll be too conspicuous; the only way is to break up into smaller groups. However, what I’m concerned about now isn’t anything else, but whether those people can escape on their own after splitting up."
"You absolutely don’t have to worry about that." Tang Guolun waved confidently and said, "I won’t dare make promises about other things, but I can absolutely guarantee that they have the ability to escape Beijing. Ling Chen, my eye for people has never been wrong. Moreover, if they were incapable, why would I put so much effort into helping them escape?"
"Alright! Since that’s the case, let’s not waste any more ti and act quickly." Ling Chen imdiately made a decision.
With a plan in place, arranging the other matters was easier. Once everyone was up, Tang Guolun gave a brief explanation to the prisoners he brought out and asked, "By the way! Ling Chen, where should we et after leaving Beijing?"
Ling Chen thought for a while and replied, "Let’s go to East Sea City. Then I’ll give you a contact number, and once you arrive in East Sea City, you can call those numbers, and soone will naturally welco you."
"Alright, it’s settled then. We’ll et in East Sea City."
After sending off Tang Guolun and his group, there were still about a dozen people left in the Martial Arts Academy. Besides the Eight Monsters, there were Wu Zhaofeng and his people.
"Qiu, where are you planning to go?" Wu Zhaofeng asked.
"Ling Cheng just said it, we’re going back to East Sea City. Wu, if you have other places to go, there’s no need to follow us. Now that you’re free, you can go wherever you like in the future."
"How can that be?" Wu Zhaofeng shook his head and said, "I haven’t repaid the debt of saving my life, and besides, I’m now all alone without even a ho, so where else can I go? Qiu, if you don’t mind, let follow you."
Qiu Yong politely declined, "We Eight Monsters have always been used to being free-spirited and don’t like having people follow us. Wu, if you don’t have another place to go, then go to East Sea City. Ling Cheng has so resources over there, and he needs people right now, so you might as well go help out. It’ll make it easier for us to et in the future."
"Well..." Wu Zhaofeng hesitated a bit. He wasn’t keen on being dependent on others.
"Forget it!" After thinking for a while, Wu Zhaofeng said, "Being in prison for so many years, I want to wander around a bit as well. And when I get a chance, I’ll definitely visit East Sea City to et you all."
"Alright, then we’ll et again if fate allows." Qiu Yong clasped his fists.
After Wu Zhaofeng and his group left, Xia Yue couldn’t help but say, "Big Brother, why didn’t you persuade him to stay? If those three Earthly List experts could join Ling Cheng’s forces, wouldn’t that be a fantastic boost."
"Since he’s unwilling, why force him? Anyway, let’s not talk about this." After speaking, Qiu Yong turned to Ling Chen and asked, "Ling Cheng, are we leaving Beijing together or separately?"
"It’s safer to act separately, as we’re too conspicuous together."
"Alright. I’ll go first; let’s et in East Sea City."
Once Qiu Yong left, Xu Ming and the others also started to depart. Before long, the huge Martial Arts Academy was left with only Ling Chen and the imprisoned Yu Peng and Liu Kui.
Better deal with those two first before leaving.
Ling Chen deliberated for a mont, then turned and headed inside the house.
