After entering the yard, Sister Xiaoyu circled around Ren Xiaosu and sized him up. She had wanted to say something along the lines of Ren Xiaosu, you've lost weight. But when she looked at him, she realized that Ren Xiaosu seemed to have put on some weight again.
She pulled Ren Xiaosu into the yard and said, "I've prepared a lot of delicious food for y 'all and a new set of clothes for each of you for the New Year. It's getting cold, so y' all should get a thicker blanket, right? You don't have to worry too much about us. We don't lack anything …"
Ren Xiaosu followed behind her and smiled without saying a word. Actually, Sister Xiaoyu was the softest person in the family. She usually did not have much of a presence, but without her, the house would feel a little less warm.
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Did anything happen at home recently? Did anyone cause any trouble?"
On his return this time, Ren Xiaosu was thinking that if Yan Liuyuan and the others encountered any trouble, he would take care of it before leaving.
"It's not too much trouble. It's very chaotic in town these days, and the consortiums' soldiers are looking at us like wolves. That's why Old Wang usually goes out to take care of things while we don't go out at all." Sister Xiaoyu explained, "This way, we won't attract the attention of the bad guys."
"Well, that's the only way." Ren Xiaosu felt that Sister Xiaoyu and the others were still quite vigilant. He said to the female students around him, "Learn from Sister Xiaoyu. I'll give each of you a knife for self-defense for the next two days. If anyone really tries to harass y 'all, just stab them with the knives."
A female student hesitated for a moment before saying, "We're girls …"
When Ren Xiaosu heard this, he pondered it for a moment and said, "Then get Old Wang to paint the knives pink for y 'all."
The female student was stunned for a moment before saying with a smile, "OK, Monitor."
But at this moment, someone knocked on the door. Sister Xiaoyu mumbled, "Who could be knocking on the door at this time?"
However, when she walked over to open the door, she heard a clear and crisp male voice. "Hello, I'm looking for Ren Xiaosu."
Ren Xiaosu turned around abruptly. The number of people who would be able to locate him at this point in time could be counted on one hand. Furthermore … he was very familiar with the voice of the other party!
Li Shentan!
He saw Li Shentan standing at the door in the Li Consortium's military uniform. Ren Xiaosu hesitated for a moment, but Li Shentan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Don't you welcome me?"
"Please come in." Ren Xiaosu gestured to his Sister Xiaoyu, who was blocking the door, to let him in. Then he whispered to the others, "Go inside."
At this time, everyone also noticed that something was wrong. They knew that this was an uninvited guest. Fortunately, Old Wang and Li Qingzheng were outside ordering the goods. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Ren Xiaosu to send Li Qingzheng away.
Li Shentan walked into the courtyard and looked around curiously. He sat on a stone stool in the courtyard and said, "This place is really warm and homey."
Ren Xiaosu looked at the military uniform he was wearing. "How did you know I was here?"
"Ah." Li Shentan seemed to have thought of something. "I hypnotized the residents in the surrounding area and told them to inform me if they saw an unfamiliar young man entering the courtyard."
Li Shentan did not avoid the topic of hypnosis at all. Ren Xiaosu wondered, "Don't you think it's inappropriate to do that?"
"Superpowers are meant to be used." Li Shentan smiled and said, "I didn't interfere with their daily lives."
At this moment, Li Shentan was like a handsome young man next door. He looked young and promising in his military uniform, but no one could imagine how much of a disaster he had caused in Stronghold 109.
"Then why did you come looking for me?" Ren Xiaosu glanced at him.
Sister Xiaoyu came out of the house and placed a pot of tea and two cups on the stone table. Li Shentan smiled warmly and said, "Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu."
"I'm warning you, don't hypnotize the people around me," Ren Xiaosu said with an unfriendly expression.
"I won't, I won't." Li Shentan picked up his teacup and said with a smile, "We're friends, after all. How could I possibly hypnotize the people around my friends?"
He gently held the warm teacup in his hand to warm his hands. White steam floated in the air, and the courtyard was exceptionally harmonious and quiet.
"I heard you went to a faraway outpost. How have you been?" Li Shentan said with a smile. He sounded like he really was an old friend of Ren Xiaosu's.
Ren Xiaosu said nonchalantly, "It's alright, I guess."
A moment later, Li Shentan said, "I heard that two junior nanosoldiers went missing over there, and they were even direct descendants of the Li Consortium. Later, I checked the outpost's directory, and when I saw your name, I knew it had to be you."
Ren Xiaosu frowned but did not answer. Smart people did not need to explain themselves, and there was no need for evidence to prove their suspicions. All he wanted to know was what Li Shentan was planning to do.
At this moment, Li Shentan continued, "When we parted ways at Stronghold 109, I thought it would be a few years before we reunited as old friends. I didn't expect to see you again so soon. I also heard that a wolf pack attacked an outpost over there, which is the one next to yours. Another junior nanosoldier went missing, and I think it must have been you who did it, right? I command the humans, and you command the wolves. We're really fated. "
Ren Xiaosu was amused. "Why don't you just say what you're up to? Why are you beating around the bush?"
He knew there was no point in defending himself. There was nothing wrong with Li Shentan assuming the outcome and then retracing the process. If the Li Consortium knew there was an extremely dangerous supernatural being over there, they would probably focus their attention on him as well.
For example, Nonsense might have discovered something.
But at this moment, Li Shentan suddenly turned serious. "You might still have some misunderstandings. I came here today to catch up with an old friend. After all, I don't have many friends."
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Why do you always think I'm your friend?"
Li Shentan smiled and said, "Because I always feel very close to you when I see you."
"Alright then." Ren Xiaosu changed the subject. "Why are you wearing your military uniform?"
"I'm an active-duty soldier of the Li Consortium now." Li Shentan looked at his military uniform and said, "It fits me pretty well, doesn't it? Our 4th Brigade will be heading to the front lines of Stronghold 109 tomorrow. There are still a lot of Experimentals there. "
Ren Xiaosu had thought the Experimentals would be doomed after the Li Consortium mobilized their heavy firepower. However, Li Shentan's appearance had become a huge destabilizing factor in this war.
Ren Xiaosu even felt that the Li Consortium's troops heading to Stronghold 109 would probably be wiped out soon.
Li Shentan's target had not been a single stronghold from the start, but the entire Li Consortium.
Even if he had to drag everyone down with him, he would not hesitate.
Ren Xiaosu sighed in his heart. The Li Consortium was right to lock this guy up in a psychiatric hospital. Compared to him, Chen Wudi was just like a normal person.
Li Shentan stood up and walked out the door. "I came on a whim, and I'll leave when I'm done. I'm afraid it'll be a long time before we see each other again, so take care. Anyone in the vicinity who covets the women here will commit suicide after you leave town tomorrow. You don't have to worry about that. Consider it a small gift from me. Please accept it. "
