Lu Yuan glanced at the crowd and, sure enough, spotted a familiar figure.

"Where are they! I'll go get some men first! Wang Dachuan, you try to negotiate with them first! If that doesn't work, I'll handle the rest!"

Wang Dachuan immediately saluted and then led a few men over.

Lu Yuan followed them toward the checkpoint.

When they arrived at the checkpoint, the people inside looked surprised to see Wang Dachuan leading his men.

"Wang Dachuan! Is it time for your shift to change?"

Wang Dachuan shook his head: "No, it's one of my superiors. Some of his family members need to come out! So, could you do me a favor?"

Upon hearing that someone was being brought out, the other party coldly said, "Wang Dachuan, have you forgotten the rules? This is a checkpoint! Everyone's safety is at stake! How can you just let someone out like that? Nonsense! Get back to your post right now! Or I'll file a complaint against you!"

Wang Dachuan was clearly not expected to be snubbed, and a look of dissatisfaction immediately appeared on his face.

"What kind of attitude is that! Do you think you can boss people around just because you're the officer in charge of a checkpoint?! Release them right now!"

The other party sneered: "Who do you think you are! You dare to order me around? Let me tell you! My official rank is higher than yours! How dare you talk to me like that! Watch your attitude! Wang Dachuan!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan gently stepped forward and looked at the other person.

"May I have your name?"

The other party clearly did not expect that someone not wearing a military uniform would come over, and immediately thought of the superior officer that Wang Dachuan had just mentioned.

He then glanced at Wang Dachuan and scolded, "Wang Dachuan! You're breaking the law! Who is this person? Where did he come from? And how did he get in with you?"

However, before the other party could finish speaking, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and slapped himself across the face.

"Who do you think you are to talk to my people like that! Watch your attitude!"

The other person was stunned by Lu Yuan's slap, covering their cheek and staring at Lu Yuan for a long time without saying a word.

"What are you looking at! State your rank and your position! I need to speak to your superior officer right now!"

Wang Dachuan, who was standing to the side, also felt that Lu Yuan had helped him regain his face. Originally, his position in this place was lower than those at the checkpoints, and he had always been the oppressed party. Now that he saw Lu Yuan help him get revenge, he felt a surge of satisfaction.

"I...I am called...Who are you?"

The other person finally snapped out of their daze, covered their face, and glared angrily at Lu Yuan.

"Who am I? I am Major Lu Yuan!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan took out his military rank insignia from his pocket.

Before the other person could even get a good look, they saw Lu Yuan put the epaulettes back in place.

"Wang Dachuan! Tie all these people up!"

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's order, Wang Dachuan immediately straightened his legs and saluted Lu Yuan.

"Yes, Major!"

"You lot! Don't move!"

After saying that, Wang Dachuan immediately took out his gun and aimed it at the inspectors.

Before they could react, a group of people had already tied them all up.

"Take me to the gate control room!"

Wang Dachuan quickly led Lu Yuan to the control room.

"This is the door!"

Lu Yuan nodded and said to Wang Dachuan, "I'll go down first. Open the door when we get there!"

"Yes, Major!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan leaped and tumbled off the platform. Wang Dachuan, who was standing on top, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration of Lu Yuan's skill, "No wonder he's a major in the special forces! He's really strong! I envy people who can join the special forces!"

Then, seeing Lu Yuan arrive at the gate, Wang Dachuan pressed the open button.

Lu Yuan immediately crawled out.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan emerge, both Han Wen and Xi Wen showed expressions of shock.

"Brother Lu! How...how did you get in? Those people seem to know you quite well!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that now! Where are those people from that mysterious organization? Let's take them with us!"

Han Wen pointed behind him and said, "Still on the phone!"

Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay! I'll be right there!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan immediately walked in the direction the other person was pointing.

Upon approaching, Lu Yuan gently patted the shoulder of the person who was angrily shouting on the phone with his back turned.

"What are you doing! Who gave you permission to touch me!"

The other party clearly mistook Lu Yuan for someone from the checkpoint, and turned around angrily.

However, when Lu Yuan and the other person's eyes met, a hint of surprise couldn't help but show in their eyes.

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

The two said in unison.

The next second, Lu Yuan and the other person hugged each other. The people around them looked at the two men hugging in astonishment and felt a sense of disdain.

"Holy crap! It really is you! I can't believe it!"

Lu Yuan looked Hei Zi up and down. Although the other man was wearing a smart suit, Lu Yuan felt something was off about him. The suit made him look like he was wearing something from a street stall.

"Yes! It's been so long! I thought you were dead! I never expected you to still be alive!"

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? And how did you get into the middle level of the urban area? Who are the people in the middle level now?"
