Chapter 1679 - 1682: Zong Zijin Finally Admits His Mistake

In the escort vehicle behind, Zong Zijin, shackled with True Essence Array-sealing handcuffs, looked in astonishment as Wenren Meiqiao's figure darted out like lightning. As her silhouette disappeared into the intersection, he turned his head in shock and looked at the Dragon Group officer beside him."What's she doing? Isn't she supposed to take me to the logistics base, and then I'm free? She's wasting my time."

"Shut up," the Dragon Group officer beside him snapped, then took out his phone, dialed a number, reported a coordinate, and said, "Spotted Song Yulong, a level-one fugitive. Security officer Wenren Meiqiao has initiated pursuit and needs combat team support. Repeat, combat team support is needed."

After hanging up the phone, the Dragon Group officer said, "Level-one fugitive, must be prioritized for pursuit, no problem. We're only twenty minutes from the late-stage base, it won't be an issue."

His voice had just fallen.

Immediately, they heard the car engine starting to gasp for air, and the exhaust pipe began to make sounds akin to firecrackers.

"Misfiring, a spark plug or ignition coil failure, or maybe a high-voltage pack issue, the electrical system is malfunctioning."

The Dragon Group agent driving the car controlled the slowing vehicle pulling to the side, raised an eyebrow and said, "Troublesome, might need to switch to another vehicle." As he spoke, he turned on the hazard lights.

Meanwhile, Zong Zijin was stunned, eyes fixed ahead, and opened the hazard lights first, slowing down the car as it pulled to the side, and asked in surprise, "Your radio is always on? Whatever happens in this car everyone knows about?"

The Dragon Group agent driving laughed, "Watched too many cop shows? We're the Dragon Group, of course the radio isn't always on. We can transmit sound, within a few hundred meters the convoy doesn't need radio…"

At that instant, Zong Zijin's face was horrified and he suddenly shouted, "Hurry and unlock me! This isn't a coincidence, Wenren Meiqiao leaving and the car breaking down, Shen Qiang is here!"

The Dragon Group personnel were stunned.

"Shen Qiang?"

Just as they were showing amused faces, the Dragon Group agent who had just stopped the car suddenly slumped over the steering wheel, the piercing horn sound instantly caused Zong Zijin's eyes to bulge.

"Unlock me! Otherwise I'll die!"

Zong Zijin shouted.

But the Dragon Group members in the car all seemed deeply intoxicated, and started collapsing all around.

The Dragon Group agent holding the keys, in his last conscious moment, threw a bunch of keys to Zong Zijin, but not having enough strength, they just fell near Zong Zijin's feet. With his True Yuan sealed, Zong Zijin was effectively an ordinary person, struggling with restrained arms trying to hook the keys with his feet.

Once, twice, three times.

"Hurry up, it must succeed, it must succeed!"

Just as Zong Zijin bit his lip, wildly using all his skills, just managing to reach the bunch of keys, the car door opened, and under the blinding sunlight, Zong Zijin saw a man silhouetted against the light. He was tall and well-built, wearing a baseball collar jacket, and a duckbill cap. Although his face wasn't immediately clear in the sunlight, Zong Zijin instantly recognized Shen Qiang.

So, he froze.

Swish, bang!

Shen Qiang got into the car and slammed the door shut.

With a slight gesture, his True Yuan pushed down the driver slumped over the steering wheel, stopping the piercing horn sound.

Having adapted to the darkness, Zong Zijin's eyes watched Shen Qiang who faced him with a smile, feeling like he'd been silent for a century before abruptly speaking, "Hey, Shen Qiang, I know everything was arranged between you and Wenren Meiqiao."

"She found an excuse to leave, and you're here to bother me. But Shen Qiang, as things stand now, let me be frank, I'm the chief disciple of Medicine King Valley, Qin Yurou is the lady of Medicine King Valley. If you truly kill me, not only will the Dragon Group not spare you, Medicine King Valley certainly won't either."

With a calm smile and picking up the keys, Shen Qiang calmly smiled, while helping Zong Zijin unlock the handcuffs, he said, "Though I've known your identities all along, if Medicine King's chief disciple is only at your level, then Medicine King Valley is simply defenseless against me."

Carefully wiping off fingerprints, throwing the keys to Zong Zijin, Shen Qiang smiled, "So if you want to use Medicine King Valley to threaten me, it's just a joke."

Holding the keys, Zong Zijin said with some fear in his eyes, "Shen Qiang, don't be like this, it's just a misunderstanding between us, I was just joking with you." Saying this, in fear he put the keys aside.

"Don't you want to escape?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, "Unlock the ankle cuffs, then jump down from the car, and you're free."

"You want to kill me!" Zong Zijin cunningly said, "So you're forcing me to create a fake escape attempt. Don't be like this, Shen Qiang, we were classmates, we were good friends, just a little misunderstanding, you're a hero, Dragon Group consultant, you have rules, don't go rogue."

Shen Qiang smiled, raising an eyebrow and said indifferently, "You know, in high school I was quite popular, not daring to say I was a school bully, but all the guys who liked fighting knew me and respected me."

"It was almost summer vacation, one night during late self-study, a neighborhood thug, after drinking, came to school to act cool and flirt, holding a rose and trying to take away a tenth-grade girl. When she refused, the thug hit the girl."

"Coincidentally, I had a fairly good buddy at the time, who really liked that girl, was strong, very popular. So they beat that thug up, and then wanted to call the police."

"At that time I happened to pass by, and by chance, I knew that thug. He was two years older than me, lived less than a hundred meters east of my house. When kids, we often played together, you know, doing things like wearing split pants and peeing in the mud as we grew up."

"Though after starting school, we rarely interacted, but he was familiar. He looked at me pleadingly and said, Shen Qiang, you have to help me, don't let them send me to the police station. At that time, I really didn't know how to refuse his plea, so I told those classmates, it's over, forget it."

"Was too young then, prioritizing loyalty and dignity, classmates kindly agreed, so no police were involved. I took the thug away; he said it wasn't over yet! I took out all the pocket money saved that semester to treat him, earnestly advised, spoke of principles, hoping to resolve the matter, chatting till late night."

Looking at the shocked face of Zong Zijin, Shen Qiang smiled, raised an eyebrow and asked, "But do you know what he did later?"
