Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Chapter 181 Human Leaders Are Blind to the Truth (34)

Using a token to command fifty or so strangers seems ridiculous, but this seemingly absurd act unexpectedly works.

Even before Shi Qi uttered those words, many people had already stopped talking on their own.

As someone familiar with the original plot, Shi Qi clearly understood why they were so "afraid" of a token; because everyone in the base knew that this token, given to Zhong Liyu, had the ability to expel people from the base.

Li Wenshu, who was pinned to the ground, still tried to struggle. He never expected that he would be defeated by a level 5 ability user.

Seeing that the guards around them had stopped, Si Yan and the others quickly approached Shi Qi and asked, "Are you injured anywhere?"

Shi Qi shook his head in denial, then looked through Si Yan at Sun Donghang behind him, pointed in that direction, and ordered, "Lock them up."

The guards standing near Sun Donghang and his companions immediately took action, handcuffing them and taking them away. From a distance, the sound of Sun Donghang cursing could even be heard.

Shi Qi handed the token to Si Yan, and then used the same hand that had pinned Li Wenshu to the ground to lift him up by the collar.

Suddenly lifted off the ground, the suffocating feeling in his chest disappeared, and Li Wenshu felt as if he had come back to life. He greedily inhaled the air while coughing violently.

Having been freed from his handcuffs, He Chiyan walked up to Li Wenshu, looked down at his disheveled state, and asked with a complicated expression, "Where is Zhongli Yu?"

Li Wenshu slightly raised his head, his expression neither humble nor arrogant: "I said, she is a 'prophet,' I won't do anything to her."

He then turned to Si Yan, who was holding the token: "Besides, don't you have the token? Are you worried about not being able to find anyone in the base?"

After a long silence, He Chiyan suddenly said, "Neither she nor I have ever doubted you."

Li Wenshu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then slightly curled the corners of his lips: "So you're saying that you've given me a perfect opportunity to plot a rebellion."

Seeing that the two seemed to have nothing more to say to each other, Si Yan ordered that Li Wenshu be taken away and temporarily imprisoned.

Li Wenshu had only been led a short distance when he heard He Chiyan's voice behind him: "Did you kill him?"

Li Wenshu stopped and turned to look at He Chiyan. But he only looked at him without saying anything, then looked away and followed the guards away.

Although nothing was said, it was as if everything was said; at least He Chiyan understood...

He clenched his fist, then relaxed it, and looked at Si Yan: "Let's go find Zhong Liyu first."

Bai Qingyun really wanted to ask about her captain's mental state, but she held back the words. She knew that any words of comfort would be futile for He Chiyan now.

Zhang Lie, who was standing not far away, noticed Bai Qingyun's hesitant expression and went over to her, asking, "Why do you look like you want to say something but can't?"

Bai Qingyun glanced at the person who had suddenly leaned in with a look of curiosity, then suppressed her hesitant expression and said, "It's nothing."

That's right, revealing your own team leader's secrets is quite unkind. She's a devoted teammate, so it's best to leave some things to your team leader to decide whether she's willing to share them.

Li Wenshu wasn't lying; he really didn't do anything to Zhongli Yu, he just locked her in her own residence with a special lock.

Zhang Lie twisted the doorknob several times, but the door remained unmoved: "Boss, I can't open this door either!"

It must have been from hearing someone turning the doorknob several times that Zhongli Yu's muffled voice came from inside: "Who's out there?" "The person who didn't come in even after turning the doorknob like this can't be Li Wenshu, who locked her up here."

“It’s us! Do you know how to open this door?” Zhang Lie raised his voice.

Zhong Liyu's soft voice came again: "It shouldn't be able to open without the key. The key is with Li Wenshu, and he has locked the windows in my room, so it's impossible to get out from the inside."

Zhang Lie: "Shall we go find him and get the key now?"

Zhongli Yu inside did not answer immediately, but He Chiyan said very clearly, "Judging from what he just said, I'm afraid he won't hand over the key so easily."

Zhang Lie: "Then what should we do? Should we just smash down the door?"

Si Yan and He Chiyan were rendered speechless by this brutal method, and remained silent for a long time.

The room remained quiet for a long time. Then, as if remembering something, Zhongli Yu suddenly said, "Let Shi get up and try."

Yes, she remembered how Shi Qi had broken free of the base's handcuffs all by himself. If he could handle handcuffs, she believed this door would be no problem for him either.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lie stepped back, allowing Shi Qi to step forward.

I gripped the doorknob, and then, as expected, the doorknob broke with a "snap"; and it even fell off completely.

As I held the doorknob in my hand, the atmosphere became quiet for a moment, except for one voice that sounded quite abrupt—

"Si Yan's favorable impression +5"

Shi Qi glanced hesitantly at Si Yan beside him, who was looking at him with an expression of adoration, before slamming the doorknob to the ground.

Ye Xin broke the awkward silence: "It's not a big problem, at least the lock fell off along with the doorknob."

Shi Qi nodded in agreement, a sense of "you understand me" appearing on his calm face.

This was indeed not a big problem, because the next second, Shi Qi raised his foot and kicked it hard.

Zhong Liyu, who was about to ask "What happened?" after hearing something fall to the ground, was startled by the sudden sound of the door being kicked open and instinctively took several steps back.

The next moment, the door collapsed right in front of her. It has to be said, without the special lock, the door is easy to knock over.

Zhong Liyu breathed a long sigh of relief, thankful she had retreated quickly...

Make way for them to enter the house.

"He didn't do anything to you, did he?" He Chiyan asked as soon as he came in.

Zhongli Yu took the token from Si Yan and shook her head: "No, he just took the token from me and then locked me up here..."

“Actually, my superpower had given me some hints before, but I didn’t think to doubt him. After all, he’s someone who’s watched us grow up. It’s also my fault. I should have been more cautious, otherwise Zhong Yihuan wouldn’t have…” Zhong Liyu said with some self-reproach.

He Chiyan shook his head: "This is not your problem. After all, prophecy is not a very good superpower."

The two did not continue their conversation. Zhongli Yu turned to Si Yan and said, "Now that everyone has been arrested, it's time to clear their names."
