Wang Fugui's original intention was to return to the Central Plains as soon as possible. After all, Ren Xiaosu was in the Central Plains, so what was the point of them being here in the Northwest?
Moreover, Old Wang was very sure that Ren Xiaosu had gone to the Central Plains to look for them. Therefore, he definitely had to go back!
However, Zhang Xiaoman refused to let him leave. He even insisted on arranging for them to stay at the military base and prepared food and hot water for them, saying that it would not be too late to leave in another few days.
The reason Zhang Xiaoman gave to convince Wang Fugui was very simple: "The Central Plains are so big, and our people from Fortress 178 are also looking for Ren Xiaosu there, so wouldn't it be much better for us to look for him than you trying your luck to find him? You don't even know where Ren Xiaosu might pop up anyway."
Zhang Xiaoman said, "Don't worry, we still have a great chance of finding him."
