Chapter 282: Being captured was also part of the plan.
Zhang Yan stared in disbelief as Meng Qingyin and Zai Zai were "taken down in one fell swoop".
At this moment, Chen Leying and the others also arrived.
Lu Cheng was extremely anxious upon seeing this, but he didn't act rashly. Instead, he looked at Chen Leying and asked, "Mengmeng has been ambushed! Should we rush in to save her now?"
Chen Leying looked at the message Meng Qingyin had just sent, pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't alert them. This should also be part of Meng Meng's plan. What we need to do now is keep a close eye on those two trucks."
As players' attributes are enhanced, their physical fitness is also improved.
The blow that attacked Meng Qingyin from behind looked dangerous, but it wasn't enough to knock her unconscious.
Moreover, Zai Zai's resistance just now was too perfunctory, which must have been intentional on Meng Qingyin's part.
As the two were talking, the scene changed again, and Chen Jinliang bent down and took Meng Qingyin's watch.
Zhang Yan said anxiously, "Old Chen took Mengmeng's watch! This puts Mengmeng in danger!"
The wristwatch serves as a communication channel between players, and many of its functions can only be used while the wristwatch is still in use.
It was Chen Jinliang who took the old man's wristwatch, which led to the distress message with his location.
Fei Qiu: "Don't worry, it just can't be teleported to us accurately anymore. You forgot, Mengmeng still has the invisibility potion, so her safety is still guaranteed."
Chen Leying: "But it's us, Chen Jinliang is going to bring people out to arrest us."
The scene shifts to two trucks driving out of the gate, and Chen Jinliang leading his men towards them.
Chen Leying spoke a few words faster: "Lu Cheng, Fei Qiu, Zhang Yan, you guys follow the truck, be careful not to get spotted. Xiao Jiu, Grandpa, and I will stay here to meet Mengmeng."
The elderly man has just woken up.
Zhang Yan looked at Chen Leying solemnly and said, "I'm entrusting Mengmeng to you."
After saying that, the three of them secretly followed—since they were following secretly, they obviously couldn't drive.
Fortunately, the truck had been modified, and the iron bars of the cage were easy to grip. The three of them hid behind tree trunks in advance, and when the truck passed through the dense forest, they quickly jumped onto the truck, skillfully avoiding the rearview mirrors, and hid themselves.
Lu Cheng and Fei Qiu hid in the green truck, while Zhang Yan hid in the black truck.
The truck driver was completely unaware of this, and the truck sped off, soon disappearing from Chen Leying's sight.
A moment later, Chen Jinliang also came out with his men, looking very aggressive.
Chen Leying and the other two cleverly hid in the trees, using the dense foliage to conceal themselves.
Chen Leying had the mandrill distract Chen Jinliang and the others, while she and Qin Jiu waited for their chance to make their move.
The mandrill is the king of monkeys, and it thrives in the forest. It would be almost impossible to catch it here.
With a few nimble leaps, it headed in the opposite direction from Chen Leying and the others.
Chen Jinliang and the others naturally heard the commotion, but having learned from their previous experience of being lured away from their mountain stronghold, he was more cautious this time. He only sent a few people to chase after them, while he and the main force searched the woods.
The elderly man realized that things couldn't continue like this; there were too many of them, and they would be found sooner or later.
He whispered to Chen Leying, "How about I go and distract some of the people? That way, you and Xiaojiu won't be under so much pressure."
Chen Leying whispered, "Let's just hide well and wait for news from Lu Cheng and the others."
The most important thing now is to figure out exactly where the truck is taking the animals.
And Master Mond is very likely there.
Only after finding that place will Meng Qingyin's plan be considered complete.
And they, if they can hide, will hide.
It's okay if you can't hide it anymore and get discovered.
In short, we need to buy time for Lu Cheng and his team.
The elderly man nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
While searching, Chen Jinliang used both threats and inducements, implying that if they obediently came out, he would consider letting them go.
But if they don't know what's good for them, he will never be polite.
Chen Leying and the other two ignored them completely.
Meanwhile, within the association, most people had gone with Chen Jinliang to search for Meng Qingyin's accomplices, which greatly facilitated Lu Ling's escape to Meng Qingyin's side.
Meng Qingyin opened her eyes the moment she was locked in the room.
When she saw Lu Ling appear outside the door, she showed no surprise and greeted her calmly.
Lu Ling knocked out the guards who were watching her and used the key to open the door: "You should leave now."
"If you let me go, aren't you afraid that Chairman Chen will hold you accountable?" Meng Qingyin asked.
Lu Ling smiled wryly, "Let them investigate. I have a feeling you're not a poacher."
If Meng Qingyin were truly a poacher, she wouldn't have rescued those pangolins last time.
Meng Qingyin: "I'm glad you're willing to believe me, but I can't leave now."
She has to wait for Zhang Yan and the others to find Chairman Chen's "secret base".
Now that she's gone, if Chairman Chen finds out and becomes suspicious, and he urgently stops the truck, then everything she's done will be in vain.
Lu Ling panicked, "Why? If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave when the president comes back!"
Instead of explaining, Meng Qingyin asked casually, "Do you really understand Chairman Chen?"
Lu Ling remained silent.
Meng Qingyin: "If Chairman Chen is really profiting from the animals, what would you do?"
Lu Ling remained silent.
“Forget it,” Meng Qingyin sighed, “there’s no point in asking these questions.”
President Chen has done so many dirty things behind the scenes, no matter what Lu Ling does, she will not let him go.
Lu Ling suddenly looked up at Meng Qingyin, "No, if he really did those heinous things, I will not plead for him. He raised me, and I am grateful to him, but how innocent are those animals that have suffered so much?"
She had witnessed the miserable state of animals firsthand.
She can't remember from what age she started, but she spent almost all her time dealing with animals and rescuing them, as if it had become her mission.
She used to think poachers were hateful and vowed to catch them all.
Unexpectedly, one day she would become an accomplice—if Chairman Chen really did those things, her special ability played a key role, so wasn't she also an accomplice?
She may seem heartless to others, but she is determined to stay true to her original heart.
Meng Qingyin glanced at Lu Ling with some surprise, not expecting her to choose to "sacrifice family for the greater good".
Lu Ling tossed the key to her, saying, "Here's the key. It's up to you whether you stay or leave."
She wanted to ask the chairman herself whether she was innocent.
She desperately needs an answer, whatever that answer may be.
...
Lu Ling's sudden appearance interrupted Chen Jinliang and the others' search progress.
He waved for the others to continue the search, then looked at Lu Ling and said somewhat perfunctorily, "What's wrong? I'm busy here."
Lu Ling asked very calmly, "Where exactly were those animals transported to?"
