Chapter 726 - Act

“What?! You actually acknowledged Qian Fu’s plan? Don’t you know that he’s crazy?” Li Huowang stared wide-eyed at Qing Wanglai.

“I don’t mean for you to become bait, but rather the trap that catches the rat.”

“Isn’t that the same thing?!”

“Of course it’s not the same thing. We won’t cast you aside as bait. Since you can sense them, you will be our eyes. We would never cast away our eyes, would we?”

Li Huowang knew Qing Wanglai was right. Their enemy was no longer just after him—they were targeting everyone around him.

Li Huowang was certain that they wouldn’t betray him with the external threats they were facing.

But Li Huowang also knew he couldn’t become their pawn. Everyone here had previously met and worked together before, except for Li Huowang himself.

After consoling Li Huowang, Qing Wanglai continued his explanation. “Since we are all projections, we first need to confirm what they’ve become after they projected themselves here. As projections, they must also conform to the rules of this world. As long as we can identify them, we can use the rules of this world to help us. More importantly, it might allow us to communicate and negotiate with them to solve this crisis. If you think about it, we could solve many things through communication.”

“Fine!” Li Huowang nodded. I don’t care if he’s speaking gibberish right now. I want to bring the fight to them since they used a truck to ram me.

It would be best if he could get definitive proof to show that someone had the intention to harm them, or other people would think Li Huowang and the others were crazy.

Only then would anyone believe him if he reported it to the police.

“Hehe... It’s useless... Everything is fake. Everything is fake...” Zhao Lei’s voice resounded in the room. “There’s no projection. There’s no danger. You guys are terrible at making up stories.”

Li Huowang frowned at the weird man, Zhao Lei. What’s his deal? Why does he keep saying that everything is fake?”

As if sensing Li Huowang’s confusion, Wu Qi said, “Ignore him. He’s very nihilistic. You can just ignore him.”

Li Huowang ignored Zhao Lei and asked Qing Wanglai, “Then how about we move at night? They are becoming more and more daring. If we continue to drag things on, they might attack us when we least expect it.”

Li Huowang was anxious. They had already tried ramming him with a lorry, and they might do something more drastic in the future.

“I don’t have any objections. What about the others?” Qing Wanglai said.

After asking everyone, Qing Wanglai looked at his watch. “It will be dawn in a few more hours. We have to act now if we want to do anything.”

“Three... No, four!”

Soon, Li Huowang walked down the RV with his head still covered in bandages. Yang Na carefully assisted him down.

Yang Na lowered her head, nervous. Only she knew that the person next to her was actually Wu Qi.

The real Li Huowang was driving the RV to circle around and catch the people.

“Is he your boyfriend?” Wu Qi whispered.

“Mmm...”

“You’re suffering a lot right now just to be with him. With your background, you are technically marrying someone of a lower status.”

As Wu Qi had just said this, they heard someone shouting to the alley on their left. Wu Qi told Yang Na to wait as she ran towards the alley.

Wu Qi rounded the corner and saw Li Huowang raising a cleaver up high as he chased after three people. “Stop! Don’t move!”

Li Huowang was panicking! He had finally found them and had no intention of letting them escape.

A motorcycle revved up, and Zhao Lei blocked the three people with his motorbike.

The three people scattered, two to the right and one to the left.

Zhao Lei chased after the single person on the left while Li Huowang ducked into the alley on the right to chase after the two people.

Li Huowang refused to give up even though his left arm was in a splint. However, his injuries slowed him down as the two people ran further and further away.

Li Huowang thought they had failed, but then the two people in front of him froze.

Li Huowang panted and approached them carefully with his cleaver when he saw Qing Wanglai pointing a gun at the two people.

Li Huowang saw the faces of the two people and realized who they were.

One of them used to work in Kangning Hospital! They had been monitoring Li Huowang since the beginning!
