Ren Xiaosu, whom the Great Hoodwinker and Wang Yun were looking forward to seeing, had already arrived at the entrance of Stronghold 31.
However, they had to deal with some hiccups. After the garrison troops at the gate found out about their identities, they did not immediately let them through. Instead, they politely stopped everyone outside the gate and said they were waiting to verify the paperwork.
The wait lasted two hours. But even after two hours had passed, the Kong Consortium was still not done with the verification.
Wang Jing smiled and said, "It looks like they're planning to stop us here. It's fine, we'll just wait."
In the end, Ren Xiaosu looked out at the boulevard in town and suddenly said enthusiastically, "Since the Kong Consortium isn't allowing us to enter the stronghold, we might as well hold a consultation in town and help the refugees outside Stronghold 31!"
