Although the system lady said so, Ren Yuanhao felt that the smoke was somewhat strange. Since he couldn't dodge it anyway, he simply circulated his icy inner energy and released it outward!
The real-world mist condensed under Ren Yuanhao's freezing power and almost dissipated. To the man opposite him, the mist seemed to not touch anything, maintaining its original form as it swirled forward and gradually dispersed.
"How is that possible? You bastard, I know you're in the house, stop playing tricks and come out!"
The man flipped up from the sofa, picked up a long saber, and immediately slashed wildly at the air. Ren Yuanhao dodged left and right. Taking advantage of the other party's distraction, he slipped into Ye Lan's room.
—Having a secret medicine really lets you be as willful as you want.
Ren Yuanhao sighed.
Ye Lan's room still retained her body fragrance, with scattered sticky notes and books. Only on the bed were Ye Lan's intimate clothes scattered.
This scene immediately sent a shockwave through Ren Yuanhao's heart.
—Holy cow! Could the man outside be a pervert who specializes in stealing girls' intimate clothing!
Just looking at these intimate clothes made Ren Yuanhao's face turn red, and at the same time, a surge of rage instantly ignited within him. The name of this rage was desecration!
—A pervert like this, a running dog of the Lionheart Group, is a menace to keep around. It would be better to~
Ren Yuanhao suddenly shook his head. The murderous intent that surged straight to his forehead made him a little scared. He had reason to believe that if he made a move on this man now, it would most likely trigger the security alert of the Lionheart Building. He believed that such a running dog would definitely be equipped with some special device or have taken some poison that could transmit information after death.
He couldn't take the risk, he couldn't disrupt the plan, he had to endure. Besides, being bloodthirsty and murderous was not his usual style, unless he had no choice but to retaliate.
His breathing and circulation were free and easy, and this murderous aura dissipated quickly. He then refocused on finding the security data that Ye Lan had stolen.
He looked up. The laptop that was usually on the desk was gone, and there were signs of drawers and cabinets being rummaged through. Ren Yuanhao could imagine what the scene had been like at the time.
—If I were Ye Lan, where would I hide important things?
Just as he was racking his brains, his eyes suddenly fell on the doll lying askew on the bed. The doll, which should have reflected two sharp lights in its eyes, only had one shining!
Ren Yuanhao's heart leaped. He rushed forward and grabbed the doll, examining it closely. Indeed, the doll's left eye was missing, but it was hidden very discreetly. He reached inside and after a moment, felt a very small USB drive!
—It seems this is the defense map Ye Lan left behind. Next, the destination is the Lionheart Building.
After some twists and turns, Ren Yuanhao left the apartment without being discovered by that pervert. He then drove to an all-night phone store, bought an adapter, and imported all the defense information about the Lionheart Building into his phone.
At this time, the effect of his secret medicine was estimated to last for about another hour and twenty minutes, leaving him with just over an hour.
Meanwhile, in a secret room of the Lionheart Building, Ye Lan suddenly woke up from her sleep.
Her entire body was bound by restraints, and she had been forcibly changed into a blue crew-neck T-shirt, the uniform attire for prisoners in the Lionheart Building. Anyone who had been here would have a laser barcode printed on their arm.
Just like ancient slaves, even if they managed to escape, they carried a lifelong shame.
Ye Lan did not open her eyes, but instinctively clenched her left hand. Then, a tear rolled down the corner of her eye, bright as the rosy clouds.
At the same time, on Ren Yuanhao's phone, the defense map suddenly displayed a fixed, brightly lit red dot!
Ren Yuanhao guessed the location of Ye Lan's imprisonment without any hesitation, recognizing this red dot.
After all, with Ye Lan's exceptionally high intelligence, she knew that once Ren Yuanhao learned of their situation, he would return immediately to find the defense map. Therefore, Ye Lan had also put some thought into the USB drive, doing some modifications. For example, the moment the USB drive was read, Ye Lan would receive some specific information and then transmit her location back to the defense map in a very discreet manner.
Ye Lan's greatest asset was this ability, even more so than her talent for gaming.
At this moment, the city's neon lights were repeatedly refracted by raindrops. The sewage-strewn road washed out the filth hidden in the corners of the city. Ren Yuanhao suddenly felt like a traveler in the apocalypse. With the closed shops on both sides and the fashion store with lights on, the motionless mannequins under the lights looked like monsters about to awaken.
The Land Cruiser swept the filth behind it, its V6 engine roaring as it charged towards the huge gray-black building, advancing without hesitation, as if carrying a sense of determination.
—Beep beep, Ren Yuanhao, take Cun Xue with you. The store provides wound healing medicine for all kinds of knife and gunshot wounds. My only hope now is that you can casually stroll around inside and then boldly bring out those three little girls.
"I hope so."
The more nervous Ren Yuanhao became, the fewer words he spoke. He parked the car at the southern end of the Lionheart Building. According to the diagram on the defense map, the Lionheart Building only had two entrances: the eastern side, which was the main entrance, and the southern side, which was the back door. The back door was guarded by only two ordinary security guards, and the back door directly led to the Lionheart Building's central staircase, which was managed by a different department than the elevators at the front door.
As everyone knows, mad scientists and the like usually don't take the stairs to save time and energy.
Therefore, the choice of the back door plus the stairs made sense.
"The red dot is in the third compartment room on the west side of the sixth floor. I don't know if the three of them are being held in the same room."
—Most likely not. Would they really lock them all together waiting for you to rescue them?
"Well, I wouldn't lock them all together either. But if that's the case, how can I rescue Ye Lan and then successfully rescue Shen Lanni and Yang Lingxue without alerting anyone else?"
—Sigh, there's no other way. I'll help you to the end. I'll scan the defense map into the system terminal and analyze it for you.
Ren Yuanhao stared intently at the large defense map displayed at the top of his mind. After a brief analysis, a thin green line appeared.
—This green line is the escape route, with the fewest guards and the shortest path.
As soon as the system finished speaking, another purple line appeared on the defense map.
—This line is the route to the most secret rooms of the Lionheart Building. Of course, I have already filtered out the shortcuts and the least troop deployment. This line is the turning point for you to take the initiative, and it is my final recommendation.
Just as Ren Yuanhao was about to interject, a thin line as dark as red suddenly appeared on the defense map.
