Nonsense had been in a good mood the entire day. He practiced some boxing in the morning and then taught the children a lesson. Since Ren Xiaosu was not around, it had been such a comfortable day.
Just as Ren Xiaosu had guessed, he could have gotten someone else to send Yan Liuyuan and the others over. Wouldn't that have saved him a lot of trouble? But he had his own motives.
If he had directly fetched Yan Liuyuan, Wang Fugui, and the others over, how was he going to get rid of Ren Xiaosu?
His other motives were not important. If he could get Ren Xiaosu to leave the outpost for an entire day, he felt that it was worth it to go to the trouble of getting Ren Xiaosu a Li Consortium regular soldier.
As a matter of fact, Ren Xiaosu would be gone for an entire day. It would take him six hours to travel back and forth, so he could just delay it for another eight hours.
It was like he was on vacation!
However, he never expected that someone would call him in the afternoon to inform him that the director of the Investigations Division was flying into a rage.
At first, Nonsense did not know what was going on. But when he answered the call, he found out that it was Ren Xiaosu who was investigating smuggling in town! In an organization, everyone had a clear division of labor. If you took away someone else's authority, it would not make sense no matter where you went.
Nonsense was shocked. Didn't you go to pick them up? Why did you have to investigate smuggling?!
He hung up and looked at Ren Xiaosu. "You went to investigate smuggling?"
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "I helped your department expand its business. Isn't that awesome?"
Nonsense said bitterly, "Did I ask you to help us expand our business? Why didn't you take away the Public Order Division's job as well? "
Ren Xiaosu said unhappily, "You didn't say that I couldn't. What did I ask you before we set off? I asked if you weren't afraid that I would cause trouble. What did you say?"
Nonsense glared at him and was about to lose his temper when Yan Liuyuan suddenly came over and said obediently, "Hello, Grandpa Nonsense."
When Nonsense saw the fair and clean Yan Liuyuan, he immediately held back his anger and said with a smile, "Hello, hello."
"Yes." Yan Liuyuan said, "I've heard my brother mention you before. He said that you're amazing and especially knowledgeable. When you're teaching, you're able to do it as if it's light. He wants me to become a knowledgeable person like you in the future."
"Hahahaha, is that so?" Nonsense's anger immediately dissipated. "That kid really said that?"
"Yes." Yan Liuyuan said, "So don't be angry. He didn't do it on purpose."
"Forget it, don't be angry, don't be angry." Hu Shuo beamed and said, "Hurry up and put your things in the house. We'll start cooking for you all. Yo, there are so many girls here."
"Thank you in advance, Grandpa Nonsense." Yan Liuyuan turned around and winked at Ren Xiaosu. The quarrel was immediately resolved. Ren Xiaosu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Yan Liuyuan was indeed talented for being able to become a friend of the women in town.
Meanwhile, Nonsense looked at Ren Xiaosu and said, "Your brother is really much more sensible than you are. Hurry up and clean up the house. I don't want to see you right now!"
At this moment, Chen Wudi was showing Sister Xiaoyu and the others around the outpost. As the outpost was not very big, Sister Xiaoyu frowned when she saw their houses one by one. "Why are the houses so dirty? Don't all these men know how to clean up their houses on a daily basis?"
Yan Liuyuan muttered, "Recently, Sister Xiaoyu has been a little obsessed with cleanliness. We're all quite afraid of her at home. She won't even let us eat without washing our hands first. Uncle Fugui is the same."
"Come, girls, get your cleaning tools. Let's clean up the house first." Sister Xiaoyu coordinated with the female students like a housekeeper. The female students were also very obedient to her.
This outpost was originally just a group of men, and most of them were refugees. As they had not received any military training, they did not have the concept of keeping the barracks clean and tidy. But after half an hour, the entire barracks looked brand new. Li Qingzheng and the others could not believe that this was where they used to live.
Sister Xiaoyu and the others even cleaned the windows. The house immediately brightened up and became tidy!
Ren Xiaosu sighed. Sister Xiaoyu was becoming more and more like a good housewife.
The people at the outpost, like Li Qingzheng and the others, were staring at the group of girls going in and out of the houses to clean up.
Every time the female students saw Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan, they would smile sweetly.
As the group of men sat around the campfire and barbecued meat, Li Qingzheng lamented, "Brother Xiaosu is still the best!"
After saying that, they were close to tears of envy.
At this moment, Sister Xiaoyu exhaled as she stood at the doorway. "We're finally done cleaning up."
She glanced at the campfire. "How can we just eat barbecued meat? I'll stir-fry some vegetarian dishes for y 'all."
Wang Fugui said to Ren Xiaosu with a smile, "Xiaoyu is taking care of everything at home. Otherwise, it would be a mess. Xiaosu, it looks like the Li Consortium is going to war soon. Will it affect us a lot? "
Ren Xiaosu said, "Did you find out where Stronghold 88 is?"
"No." Wang Fugui shook his head. "But did you ask that grandpa? I think he seems to know quite a lot."
Ren Xiaosu looked at Nonsense. Previously, he was worried that Nonsense would think he was colluding with the enemy if he asked him. After all, he thought Nonsense was a high-ranking officer of the Li Consortium and would definitely be on their side. But now that he had a better understanding of the situation, he could ask him about it.
Ren Xiaosu gestured for everyone to sit around the campfire while he sat next to Nonsense. "Do you know where Stronghold 88 is?"
"The Yang Clan's Stronghold 88?" Nonsense glanced at Ren Xiaosu. "Why are you asking about that?"
"I'll just say it directly. Actually, we were planning to go to Stronghold 88, but we ended up here because we were conscripted," Ren Xiaosu said.
"I'd advise you not to think too much about it." Nonsense said, "Stronghold 88 is northeast of Stronghold 108. The Li Consortium and the Yang Clan have already stationed a large number of their troops there. There are still three strongholds between Stronghold 88 and Stronghold 108. You might be able to get there by yourself, but how are the people around you going to get there? It's no longer possible to rely on your identity as a member of the Office of Special Investigations. "
"Is there really going to be a war?" Ren Xiaosu was puzzled.
"Not only that, even the Kyung Clan has sent their troops to the border between the three clans." Nonsense looked at him and said, "The Li Consortium has yet to deal with the Experimentals at Stronghold 109, but a war is already on the verge of breaking out. If you want to cross the battlefield and get to Stronghold 88, you'll have to be prepared to lose your companions. The artillery shells and bullets on the battlefield don't have eyes, so they won't know who you are."
Ren Xiaosu frowned. "Then nothing will happen to us at this outpost, right? We can just hide here for now."
Nonsense sighed and said, "The Li Consortium might not have sufficient troops. They might even send the private troops at the outpost to the front lines as cannon fodder."
