Chapter 1557 - 782: Forgetful Li Kui! (Part 2)

Chapter 1557: Chapter 782: Forgetful Li Kui! (Part 2)

Brother Leopard gave Lin Beichen a once-over, seeing nothing particularly special about him, and thought that he’s just a person like anyone else, how could he have a method that he can’t learn?

So he confidently replied, "Naturally, if I can’t learn, then that’s my problem. I won’t make things difficult for you."

Lin Beichen smiled and said, "Shall we go then?"

Time waits for no one, the longer they delay, the more his people suffer in the wilderness.

Brother Leopard thought for a moment, continuing to gamble isn’t of any interest anymore, better to learn Lin Beichen’s gambling skills first.

"Alright, follow me." Then he led the way and walked out of the gambling den.

"By the way, did you guys come by car?"

Then he suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "My car keys are with a companion, but now I have no idea where he went."

Brother Leopard’s companion was naturally Fang Biao, who had left the gambling den to go drinking outside after being scolded by Brother Leopard.

Lin Beichen knew who his companion was and immediately felt that Brother Leopard was too unreliable.

Maybe it’s better to go find his companion to inquire about the base.

But before Lin Beichen could think this through, Li Kui chimed in, "We have a car."

And quite a few cars, more than you can imagine.

Of course, Li Kui kept this thought to himself, otherwise, revealing his identity would earn him a scolding from Brother Lin.

Since Li Kui mentioned having a car, Lin Beichen naturally suppressed those other thoughts.

With a car available, there’s no problem.

Otherwise, walking back to their base from Freedom City, Brother Leopard would never agree.

Then, the group of four left the gambling den and headed towards the place where Lin Beichen had parked the car.

"Where’s your car parked? Why haven’t we reached it yet?"

Brother Leopard asked casually.

Li Kui glanced at Lin Beichen, saw him giving a hint, and then said, "The car is outside the city, how about I run ahead alone and bring it over while you wait here?"

Brother Leopard was pleased to hear he wouldn’t have to walk, quickly saying, "Brother, that’s a good idea."

He pointed to a nearby restaurant and said, "We’ll wait for you there."

Li Kui nodded and was about to leave.

But he suddenly remembered something and took advantage of Brother Leopard heading towards the restaurant to quietly speak to Lin Beichen, "Brother Lin, should I bring our brothers along at that time?"

Lin Beichen nodded nonchalantly.

Regardless of the situation at Brother Leopard’s base, first give his brothers a place to stay.

As Li Kui was preparing to leave, he seemed to recall something, and with an awkward yet slightly flattering tone, he said, "Brother Lin, could you also teach me the gambling skills you’re going to teach that fool ahead?"

Lin Beichen knew Li Kui hadn’t given up on gambling.

He shot Li Kui a glance and retorted, "Hurry up, we’ll talk about it later."

"Alright, alright." Li Kui quickly sprinted away, "Brother Lin, I’m leaving, will be back soon."

Though Brother Lin didn’t clearly agree, at least he didn’t reject it, so there’s still hope.

Li Kui thought excitedly to himself.

Then, he jogged all the way, ran for over ten minutes, and finally reached outside the city where their main force was located.

In the troop, groups of people were sitting together chatting. Zhao Ligeng was chatting with the former leader of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Corps, Xu Qiang, and the leader of the Ford Mercenary Corps, Ped.

"So Lin Ge is the one who caused the chaos in the Milo Family and Beishi Mercenary Corps?"

Ped listened with a shocked face as Zhao Ligeng and Xu Qiang recounted Lin Beichen’s brave deeds.

They naturally told these tales to warn Ped, a newcomer, not to have any crooked ideas, otherwise if Lin Beichen took action, they wouldn’t even know how they died.

"I can guarantee it with my life, it’s definitely true."

Zhao Ligeng vowed confidently.

Ped subconsciously thought Zhao Ligeng was present at the time, otherwise he wouldn’t speak so surely, so he casually said, "Oh, Brother Zhao, you were there? Lin Ge really has guts to venture into such dangerous places with him."

"Could you tell me about Lin Ge’s heroic acts back then?"

"It’s not that I don’t believe in Lin Ge, I’m just curious, really curious."

Afraid of their misunderstanding, Ped quickly explained.

But Zhao Ligeng wasn’t actually present at the time, so hearing Ped’s words, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Uh, because Lin Ge said the assassination doesn’t require too many people, so I didn’t follow Lin Ge..."

Ped felt embarrassed too, that compliment had certainly backfired.

"Pfft," Xu Qiang, seeing them both too embarrassed to speak, couldn’t help but laugh.

Zhao Ligeng quickly tried to save face, saying, "Though I wasn’t there, there was a brother who was, he told me everything."

"Where’s that brother?" Ped asked, "Why not call him over to chat together."

"Lin Ge took him away." Zhao Ligeng said somewhat enviously, "He’s Lin Ge’s driver."

"I really want to follow Lin Ge too."

Actually, Lin Beichen values Zhao Ligeng highly, which is why he’s left in charge of part of the troop.

With Zhao Ligeng’s frighteningly accurate shooting skills, if anyone dared to attack, he’d definitely blow their head off.

Xu Qiang understood Lin Beichen’s intentions, so he consoled Zhao Ligeng, saying, "Little Zhao, Lin Ge cares about you more than Li Kui."

Ped chimed in, "Oh, why’s that?"

As a late addition to Lin Beichen’s large group, Ped naturally wanted to learn about Lin Beichen’s favored people.

"If Lin Ge didn’t care, why would he leave all the sniper squads to you to manage?"

"You must know that the sniper squad is the soul of the troop, assigned to you to protect the entire force."

"Isn’t that showing trust?"

After listening to former leader Xu Qiang’s words, Zhao Ligeng thought about it and realized it might be true.

He felt deeply moved, silently vowing to serve Lin Beichen well.

"Right, I need to patrol to check if any of my men are slacking off."

Xu Qiang, seeing Zhao Ligeng understood his meaning, laughed and waved his hand, "Go on, go on."

"Prepare to spend the night here; finding the base isn’t easy."

Though Lin Beichen is strong, finding a base has nothing to do with personal ability; it’s all about luck.

However, just as Zhao Ligeng was about to leave...

Li Kui returned.

He naturally wouldn’t talk about Lin Beichen’s matters to just anyone.

He needed to find someone in charge, like Zhao Ligeng or Xu Qiang, who could be considered the small leaders in Lin Beichen’s team.

So, upon seeing Zhao Ligeng about to leave, Li Kui hurriedly called out to him, "Hey, Zhao Ligeng!"

Zhao Ligeng, hearing someone call, turned around, surprised by the expression on his face.

Could Lin Ge and the others have returned so quickly?

"Li Kui, why did you come back so quickly?" Xu Qiang also asked with a smile, "We were just talking about you with Ped."

Li Kui was suddenly interested, "What were you saying?"

"Speaking of when you and Lin Ge went to assassinate the Milo Family and Beishi Mercenary Corps leadership."

"Ped said he’s very curious about the situation at the time," Xu Qiang explained.

"Oh." Li Kui suddenly understood, "So that’s what it was."

"Sure, sure."

Li Kui felt like he’d forgotten something, but couldn’t recall what.

No choice but to talk about his and Lin Ge’s ’heroic deeds’ first.

Li Kui exaggerated his role significantly, "When Lin Ge went to Milo Family, I didn’t know Lin Ge yet, otherwise I’m sure he would’ve taken me." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

Just like going to the Beishi Mercenary Corps, taking Li Kui could do what exactly? Relieve boredom, perhaps.

But both Li Kui and Xu Qiang understood it as Lin Ge needed his help.
