The others might not have noticed that the woman had left, but Yan Liuyuan did. As a matter of fact, among the entire family, Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan were the most vigilant about the outside world. This was also why Ren Xiaosu was most assured of Yan Liuyuan.
He whispered to Ren Xiaosu, "Bro, I'm afraid that woman next door is going to cause trouble."
Ren Xiaosu glanced at his woman's back as she left. He thought for a moment and said, "It's fine, there's nothing to be afraid of."
While they were packing up, Wang Fugui came over to Ren Xiaosu with an account book in his hand and said happily, "Our grocery store's income is very stable right now. The residents all come here to buy groceries. Here, Xiaosu, check the accounts."
Ren Xiaosu looked at Old Wang in amusement. "Alright, why are you checking the accounts during the New Year? Why would I be worried about something you're handling? Hurry up and get in the car. I'll take you to our outpost to have a look. I'll send you back on the eighth day of the New Year."
Although the outpost was doing well now, it was still considered a part of the fortifications. No one would care too much about it during the New Year, but if someone were to patrol after the New Year and discover that they had brought their family members over, there might be some trouble.
Moreover, Wang Fugui and the others were living quite well in town. Yan Liuyuan, the smart-ass, could even use his identity as a friend of the women to gather information.
Next to him, Yan Liuyuan whispered, "Bro, why did the Li Consortium suddenly put out a warrant for Xu Xianchu? Did you do it? "
"Ahem." Ren Xiaosu looked at Yan Liuyuan and said, "Don't tell anyone."
"Mhm." Yan Liuyuan nodded obediently. "Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut."
At this moment, the woman from the grocery store next door rushed over with a group of soldiers. Even from a distance, the woman pointed at Ren Xiaosu and shouted, "It's those two people. When they came to town last month, the older one was still wearing the private army uniform. But this time, he changed into a regular army uniform, and he's even a captain!"
Most people would not know what rank they were even if they saw the epaulets. But the grocery store owners at the stronghold entrance were all smart people, so how could they not recognize it?
The group of soldiers surrounded Ren Xiaosu and the others. A first lieutenant walked up and looked at Ren Xiaosu. "Which fighting force are you from? Show me your military IDs."
Ren Xiaosu and Li Qingzheng looked at each other. But just as Ren Xiaosu reached for his military ID, the sound of guns being cocked rang out. More than a dozen black muzzles were pointed at them.
The woman from the grocery store beamed with joy. If there was something wrong with this young man's military ID, Wang Fugui would definitely not be able to continue running his grocery store, right?!
Ren Xiaosu smiled and took out his military ID from his pocket and handed it to the soldier in front of him. He said calmly, "There really aren't many people who dare to investigate the Office of Special Investigations these days."
Li Qingzheng gasped. He realized Ren Xiaosu was really not flustered at all. Furthermore, he was imitating Hu Shuo's condescending calmness when he spoke. It was really too similar.
When the officer opposite him heard the words "Office of Special Investigations," he frowned. He opened his military ID and saw Ren Xiaosu's photo, stamp, serial number, and the eye-catching words "Military Office of Special Investigations."
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be panicking. After all, no one who went into the Office of Special Investigations had ever come out alive!
But when he thought about it, there were indeed too many suspicious points about Ren Xiaosu and the others. Regular soldiers had undergone training, and their bodies and postures were quite different from others. And with Li Qingzheng's disgusting behavior in his military uniform, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed a little like he was an imposter.
The officer said coldly, "We still need to verify whether you are officers of the Office of Special Investigations or not."
Then he ordered his subordinates to take out a palm-sized device. After they entered Ren Xiaosu's military ID serial number, the device displayed a photo of Ren Xiaosu.
The officer gasped. He immediately turned around and slapped the woman from the grocery store to the ground. Then he turned around and bowed to Ren Xiaosu. "I'm sorry, sir!"
Ren Xiaosu took back his military ID and carefully sized up the officer. "I now suspect that you're a spy who wants to harm our Li Consortium's officers. Is that watch on your wrist a communication tool between you spies?"
When the officer heard this, he quickly took off his watch and handed it to Ren Xiaosu. "Sir, please bring it back for inspection. I brought some local specialties for you."
"Mhm." Ren Xiaosu's gaze swept across the others. "Do any of you have anything suspicious on you? I suspect you're suspected smugglers."
But a soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, your Office of Special Investigations doesn't investigate smuggling, right?"
Ren Xiaosu was silent for a moment. "We'll start investigating now!"
Li Qingzheng watched this scene unfold from the side. Not too long ago, he was the one who had been receiving bribes. But looking at Ren Xiaosu now, it seemed like it was much easier for him to take bribes than it was for him.
This group of soldiers had come in an aggressive manner, but now they were all standing obediently in a row. The money in their pockets had been taken away by Ren Xiaosu as evidence of collusion with the enemy.
"Alright." Ren Xiaosu waved it off. "Go back. I suddenly don't think you're suspicious anymore."
Needless to say, this identity Nonsense had arranged for him was really useful.
The woman who was lying on the ground next to him felt a little dizzy from the slap. When she regained her senses, the officer slapped her again. "Bring her back, you blind fool!"
The group of soldiers carried the woman away. Ren Xiaosu looked at their retreating backs and sighed. "What a bunch of good people. So what if they came? They even brought us so many local specialties. How simple!"
He then handed the watch to Wang Fugui. Wang Fugui had bribed Li Qingzheng with his own watch in order to get the girls exempted from manual labor.
Li Qingzheng hesitated for a long time. "I've already sold all the watches you gave me. Why don't I return the money to you?"
Ren Xiaosu smiled. "Then wouldn't you have helped us for nothing? Just keep it. We're not such petty people. "
"Oh, alright," Li Qingzheng said happily. However, he felt that something was not quite right. Why did it seem like Ren Xiaosu was the platoon commander instead?
On the way back, Yan Liuyuan leaned against the back of the vehicle and said excitedly, "Bro, is your outpost fun?"
"It's pretty fun," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
"What do you guys do every day?"
"We just go to class, eat some meat, and go for a stroll in the mountains to dig up some wild vegetables and mushrooms. We also catch rabbits." Ren Xiaosu said, "There are a lot of rabbits in the mountains over there. When you get there, I'll teach you how to set traps to catch them."
Ren Xiaosu suddenly thought of something. Although Yan Liuyuan was also a supernatural being, he did not have any means of self-defense. Could he collect some nanomachines for Yan Liuyuan first?
When they returned to the mountains, Ren Xiaosu saw Nonsense holding a satellite phone and explaining, "Our Office of Special Investigations does not investigate smuggling. Yes, yes, we really don't investigate smuggling. This must be a misunderstanding. We have no intention of seizing power from the Special Investigations Bureau."
