A week later, the group of thugs told Lu Yuan that they had already arranged people at the power company and could take action at any time.
However, Lu Yuan's side was not ready yet, the five researchers had not been contacted, and the people studying shipbuilding were not yet fully prepared.
He can only stall for time.
Is the car ready? Is there enough gasoline?
Those people looked grim. They had prepared two cars, but they hadn't considered the issue of gasoline.
Lu Yuan said, "Since we have a lot of people, we must prepare several vehicles and several barrels of gasoline."
And so, another two days were delayed.
In the past two days, Cheng Yanqiu finally found out about the five people.
The research company they worked for seemed to know that the group intended to leave, so they detained them.
"We've found out the location, but there's a lot of security there, so it'll be difficult for us to rescue them."
Everyone's expression was solemn.
Lu Yuan asked, "How many guards are there over there?"
"No fewer than 50 people, and they also have weapons."
With a large number of people and advanced equipment, things become quite difficult.
Everyone fell into deep thought when Sanbao suddenly said, "Let me go."
Lu Yuan looked up and gave him a flick on the forehead.
"You shut up, there are at least 50 of them, and they're armed. No matter how good you are at fighting, they can just start shooting at you and you're done for."
Sanbao rubbed his head where he had been hit and gave Lu Yuan a dissatisfied look.
A gentleman uses words, not fists!
"I'm your father!" Lu Yuan said irritably.
The implication is that it's perfectly natural for a father to discipline his son.
Sanbao pursed her lips, not wanting to discuss this with her father, and continued with the previous topic.
"My point is that since we can't force our way in, we'll try to outsmart them."
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, thinking that this little guy probably had something up his sleeve. "Tell me!"
Sanbao succinctly stated, "Use the medicine!"
Everyone was completely confused, looking at each other, clearly not understanding what he was talking about.
Lu Yuan clapped his hands excitedly and exclaimed, "Great idea!"
Qian Bing scratched his head and asked, "Director Lu, what do you mean?"
Lu Yuan explained, "Si Bao knows medicine and can make sleeping pills. If we get him some sleeping pills, we can use them on those security guards and rescue them without any effort."
Su Tingxiao and the others stared at Si Bao with shining eyes, clearly thinking the idea was excellent.
However, Cheng Yanqiu raised an objection, "There's a problem. You need to get close to the other person to use a sleeping potion, right? If we get close to them, they'll probably collapse from a great distance."
Sanbao chimed in, "That's why I said I'd go."
Lu Yuan withdrew his smile and explained in a deep voice, "If it were Sanbao, a little kid pretending to wander in by mistake, those people wouldn't do anything to him if they didn't want to cause any trouble; they would just drive him away."
"No, that's too risky."
Su Tingxiao was the first to object.
Chen Beilin also objected, "That's right, those people might get upset and start a fight without thinking, which would be too dangerous."
They can't let a small child take risks.
Lu Yuan glanced at Sanbao but didn't say anything. He was definitely unwilling for his son to take this risk; he would rather go himself than let his son go.
“I’ll go,” he said.
This was clearly even worse and was met with opposition from everyone.
“I’ll go,” Su Tingxiao volunteered as well.
"No, I'll go." Chen Beilin insisted.
"I'll go."
"I'll go."
Qian Bing and Xu Guowu were the ones who stepped up without hesitation.
The last few people argued fiercely over who it was.
Cheng Yanqiu looked at this person and then at that person, as if he were looking at a group of idiots, unable to understand why they were all scrambling to go and die.
Finally, he politely interrupted the ongoing argument.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, may I offer a small suggestion?"
Everyone looked at him, signaling him to speak.
"May I ask, does this drug have to be delivered by someone? Can it be a puppy?"
Lu Yuan and everyone else's eyes lit up. They exchanged glances and then cheered.
"That's fantastic, Brother Yanqiu! You're so clever!" Lu Yuan praised generously.
And so, Sibao worked through the night to make two bottles of sleeping potion.
Then they put it in a plastic bottle and tied the bottle to the two dogs.
Before they put the dogs into the place where the five researchers were being held captive, they made two holes in the bottom of a plastic bottle. When the dogs ran in, the medicine would flow out from the bottom of the bottle and evaporate. Anyone who smelled it would faint within minutes.
The plan was successful. When the two dogs suddenly darted in, the security personnel began to chase them. The two dogs ran around wildly, and eventually the security personnel found them.
By the time Su Tingxiao and his group went in to rescue the people, even the five researchers had already been drugged.
It's easy to imagine how effective that drug must have been.
The five people were successfully rescued, and there was no time to lose, so everyone divided the work and worked together.
Cheng Yanqiu arranged to have dinner with the ship owner in the evening to inspect the ship. If there were no problems, he could pay the remaining balance and buy the ship that night.
This was a big deal; they had ordered a new ship for $15 million, and the ship owner readily agreed.
"After you finish eating, go inspect the ship. Look carefully and try to delay things as much as possible. If everything goes smoothly, I can get the money and get to the port before 10 o'clock," Lu Yuan instructed.
"Once the ship is delivered, all of you should immediately go and pick up the people on board. I will then go and load the research equipment and data onto the ship."
At that time, the entire city was plunged into darkness, and all police forces were busy arresting criminals who committed arson, murder, and robbery, leaving them no time to attend to the port. This was the perfect opportunity for them to escape.
"We need to be quick. We only have one hour. We have to leave port before 11 o'clock."
After discussing everything, everyone started packing their things, then rested and waited for evening to arrive.
Around five o'clock, everyone set off from home.
Lu Yuan brought Sanbao and Sibao with him. Even though Sanbao was very skilled, he was still a little worried. It was safest to keep them with him in his spatial storage.
That's right, he brought the three treasures and four treasures into the space. Tonight is destined to be a chaotic night, and there will inevitably be areas that cannot be taken care of.
The safest place is inside a space.
"You stay inside for now. We'll let you out when we need your help."
Even if Sanbao and Sibao were unwilling, there was nothing they could do; they couldn't freely enter and exit the space.
Lu Yuan transformed himself into Yamamoto-kun and drove a brand-new rented Mercedes-Benz to meet up with the group of homeless people.
Everyone waited anxiously and excitedly for nightfall...
