The driver had wanted to reprimand Ren Xiaosu and get Ren Xiaosu to stay away from him. But for some reason, when he saw the look in Ren Xiaosu's eyes, he cowered on the spot.
"Oh, thank you." Ren Xiaosu nodded. He looked at the wealthy district and realized that there was actually a poor district and a wealthy district in this stronghold. It seemed like the difference between the rich and the poor in this stronghold was also very obvious.
When Ren Xiaosu thanked him, the streetcar driver was stunned. It was as though he had already regarded Ren Xiaosu and Ren Xiaosu as a scourge. He did not expect Ren Xiaosu would still thank him politely.
Before he could react, Ren Xiaosu said to the driver, "When does this streetcar return?"
The driver said awkwardly, "Why don't y 'all take another streetcar? The next one will arrive in 20 minutes."
Ren Xiaosu looked at the driver and said, "That's a very irrational decision of yours."
The driver said, "Dear passengers, please sit tight and hold on."
…
On the way back, Ren Xiaosu got out of the streetcar at a place not far from their shop because he saw a gold shop!
After confirming that no one was following him, he pretended as though nothing had happened and walked into the gold shop. But the moment he entered, he discovered a wanted poster posted inside the shop.
Ren Xiaosu was stunned when he saw the wanted poster. Wasn't the person on the wanted poster Xu Xianchu?! Xu Xianchu was dressed properly in the private army's uniform in the photo. It looked like this was a photo of Xu Xianchu when he was working in the stronghold.
"Boss, who's on the wanted poster?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"I don't know. The people from the stronghold's Public Order Division just put it up today." The owner of the gold shop said, "They only said to report to them immediately if you see this person. They even offered a reward."
"I didn't see it posted anywhere else. Why was it posted inside the gold shop?" Ren Xiaosu's heart tightened.
"I heard it's because the Kyung Clan had their gold stolen. I'm not sure about the details, but the Public Order Division has been investigating all unidentified gold sources. As long as it's not stamped with the consortium's logo or has oxidized, they have to report it to the Public Order Division immediately." The owner of the gold shop said, "Is something the matter?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing …" Ren Xiaosu immediately walked out of the gold shop.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu felt very melancholy. He realized the Kyung Clan Consortium might have realized he was still carrying a lot of gold on him.
Although he had put down the gold wrapped in his jacket, as long as someone from the Qing Consortium went to check the missing gold on the counter in the gold shop, they would immediately discover that the amount did not match up. In fact, it was a lot less.
This was because the gold had accumulated a lot of dust when placed there. Once the gold was taken away, the marks on the counter would be especially obvious.
Ren Xiaosu did not take any chances. He knew the Kyung Clan Consortium must have discovered something since they had specially posted the photos in the gold shop. They were trying to track him down from the source of the stolen goods.
No, they were looking for Xu Xianchu.
At this moment, Xu Xianchu had just arrived at the town outside of Stronghold 111. He had finally arrived here before starving to death after traveling for many days.
Along the way, Xu Xianchu used his shadow clone to hurry along whenever he was in a good state. Although the shadow clone saved him energy by running, he nearly threw up on its back.
Most importantly, without Ren Xiaosu around, he could not find any suitable food in the wilderness and could only eat wild vegetables. During this period, he even suffered from diarrhea for an entire day.
Fortunately, he was a supernatural being and had a strong physique. Poisonous wild vegetables could not kill him.
At this moment, Xu Xianchu was looking forward to returning to human civilization to find something to eat. For the past two days, he felt a rock was like a steamed bun whenever he saw it!
But when he reached the entrance of the town, he sensed several gazes focused on him.
Xu Xianchu walked up to a shack and said, "Hello, do you have anything to eat? I can pay for it."
When Xu Xianchu saw the cornbread in the shack, he gulped.
The man from that household came out and sized up Xu Xianchu. "You're not from our town, right? You look a little unfamiliar."
"Ahem, I was just passing by," Xu Xianchu explained. He thought to himself that no one should be able to recognize him now that his face was so dark.
But when the refugee sized up Xu Xianchu, he suddenly noticed something and shouted, "Xu Xianchu! Xu Xianchu is here! Everyone, hurry up! "
Xu Xianchu was speechless.
On the way to Stronghold 111, Xu Xianchu was actually very hesitant. After all, Stronghold 111 was where the Kyung Clan Consortium's headquarters was located. However, he felt that it shouldn't be a problem for him to stay in town for a while, right?
But at this moment, Xu Xianchu realized he was wrong!
The Kyung Clan Consortium must have issued a warrant for his arrest. Otherwise, these refugees would not have mobilized all of their forces to capture him.
But he did not do anything at all. Back in the Jing Mountains, he did not even enter the perimeter. What was the point of wasting so much manpower and money to capture him?!
Of course, Xu Xianchu was still a little worried for Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin. If they had mobilized so many people just to capture someone like him who had not entered the perimeter, one could imagine how great the commotion would be if they were to capture Yang Xiaojin and Ren Xiaosu.
In that instant, Xu Xianchu did not hesitate anymore. He summoned his shadow clone and kicked the refugee in front of him away. Then he rushed into the shack and picked up the dark cornbread in his arms before turning around and running away!
He could not stay here for long. It looked like he would have to go somewhere else for now. It would be best if it was somewhere that was not under the control of the Kyung Clan Consortium!
Xu Xianchu thought about it and suddenly felt that Stronghold 109, which was controlled by the Li Consortium, was the best choice for him!
At this moment, a huge convoy of vehicles rumbled over from afar. Xu Xianchu had already climbed onto the shadow clone's back before the refugees arrived. The muscular shadow clone suddenly sped up and dashed deep into the wilderness!
When the refugees saw this, they stopped in their tracks. This was probably the first time they had seen a supernatural being with their own eyes!
When the convoy of vehicles driving over from the wilderness in the distance arrived in town, it started to slow down. In the vehicle, Qing Zhen was covered in dust. If not for the consortium's people waiting for him outside the Jing Mountains, he did not know when he would have made it back to Stronghold 111.
When Qing Zhen saw the commotion in town, he frowned and said, "Xu Man, ask them what they're doing."
As they were still quite a distance away, they did not see what was going on.
Xu Man rolled down the window and looked at a refugee. "What happened?"
A refugee walked over respectfully and said, "We just discovered Xu Xianchu."
In the backseat, Qing Zhen sat up straight. "Xu Xianchu? Where is he? "
The refugee pointed in the direction Xu Xianchu had escaped in and said, "He ran into the wilderness …."
"… Send someone to capture him." Qing Zhen said, "Get the Special Forces to do it. They're more experienced in the wilderness than Xu Xianchu."
"Boss," Xu Man said in a troubled tone, "you'll be placed under house arrest soon."
Qing Zhen said, "… What direction is that?"
Xu Man thought for a moment. "Boss, that should be Stronghold 109."
"Call Luo Lan." Qing Zhen clenched his teeth and said, "If Xu Xianchu shows up in the vicinity of 109, we must capture him!"
