When she heard Ren Xiaosu say he wanted to arrange for Wang Yuchi and the others to go to college, Yang Xiaojin thought for a moment and said, "Even I can't directly approve your enrollment, but I can arrange for you to take the entrance exam in three months."
"That's fine too," Ren Xiaosu said.
Wang Yuchi asked, "Monitor, aren't you going to college?"
Ren Xiaosu paused for a moment before saying, "You guys go ahead first …."
Although he was very eager to learn, he knew what he was made of. If he were to study hard in the remaining three months, it would be impossible for him to study to the point where he could get into college!
Unless he completed missions every day after entering the stronghold and took out a bunch of Basic Skill Duplication Scrolls to learn all of Yang Xiaojin's math, physics, and chemistry skills.
Thinking of all the random skills Yang Xiaojin had, Ren Xiaosu felt this would be a huge project.
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu saw the gold shop next to the rampart road. He wondered if the Li Consortium's and Kyung Clan's currencies had also depreciated here. If that was the case, he could make another round of purchases.
Although he couldn't spend it, he could still save it for the palace's various strange charging programs.
Along the way, Ren Xiaosu suddenly heard a constant whirring sound coming from the buildings next to the street. He was stunned. "What's that sound?"
Yang Xiaojin answered, "Oh, they're playing mahjong."
"Why are there so many people playing mahjong?" Ren Xiaosu was surprised.
When they arrived at the accommodation Yang Xiaojin had prepared for them, Yang Xiaojin left first. She had been away from the stronghold for too long and had a lot of things to deal with.
Before leaving, Yang Xiaojin said, "I'll have to trouble you guys to stay here for now. I'll help you find another place to stay as soon as possible."
When Ren Xiaosu saw that the accommodation was a courtyard, he was quite satisfied. "It's fine, it's quite nice here."
In the end, when Ren Xiaosu and the others entered the courtyard, they saw Luo Lan's big head leaning against the wall and secretly observing them. Ren Xiaosu was amused. "What are you doing?"
When Luo Lan saw that it was Ren Xiaosu, he exclaimed, "You guys have been captured too?"
Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "You misunderstand. Our situation is not quite the same."
Behind the wall, someone whispered, "Boss, who did you see? Let us have a look too. "
Luo Lan snapped, "What are you looking at? Help me up!"
"Boss, you're too heavy …"
The corner of Ren Xiaosu's eyes twitched. So, Luo Lan was leaning on the wall, and there was someone supporting him from below …
But from the looks of it, Luo Lan and the others were in a pretty good mood. Ren Xiaosu asked, "Weren't you under house arrest? I don't see you looking that depressed."
Luo Lan said nonchalantly, "It's not like the Yang Clan will do anything to me. A fatty alive is worth more than a dead one. Besides, I've gotten used to being under house arrest in Stronghold 111. "
"You're quite open-minded." Ren Xiaosu curled his lips. "Did you hear? Qing Zhen has successfully seized power. Congratulations."
However, Luo Lan nearly cried when he heard that. "I'm fucking done for! The Yang Clan won't let me go anymore."
In an instant, Luo Lan understood his value. He was now the elder brother of the Kyung Clan's patriarch. Even a stronghold might not be as valuable as him.
Thinking of this, Luo Lan felt a little excited for some reason.
Was he already worth so much?
"Come, come, raise me up a little more." Luo Lan said to someone behind him, "Let me catch up with Brother Xiaosu in the yard next door."
Ren Xiaosu pressed down on Luo Lan's head to stop him from coming over. "You're a prisoner, so don't just come over here. What if you implicate us?"
Luo Lan said unhappily, "Look at how I'm addressing you as a brother. As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. How can you treat me like this!"
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him. "You can hit someone who's smirking."
"I have money!" Luo Lan shouted.
Only then did Ren Xiaosu let go of him. "It doesn't matter if you have money or not. I just wanted to invite you over to our place."
As he spoke, Ren Xiaosu saw Luo Lan climbing over the wall clumsily. If he had not caught him from below, Luo Lan might have fallen to the ground.
Ren Xiaosu asked curiously, "You can still go in and out of the yard next door freely? Why didn't you run away?"
"The people who lived in this yard were all plainclothes to guard me." Luo Lan patted the dust off his butt and said, "I don't know why they left this morning, but that's why I'm leaning against the wall to watch. But just because they left doesn't mean they won't keep an eye on me anymore. The entire street is filled with plainclothes Yang Clan officers. Do you think I can leave? I'll be beaten into a sieve! "
"Huh?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. So that was what was going on.
"Someone specially came over to clean your house this morning." Luo Lan was strolling around the yard. When he saw the female students behind Jiang Wu, his eyes widened. "Beauties, let me introduce myself. My name is Luo Lan, and I'm the elder brother of the current Kyung Clan's leader!"
But no one was willing to talk to him at this moment. Ren Xiaosu was also thinking about their current situation. Since the entire street was under the Yang Clan's surveillance, why did Yang Xiaojin bring them here? Was it because she had no other choice, or did Yang Xiaojin also want them under surveillance?
Did Yang Xiaojin know about this herself?
Wait a minute, no wonder Yang Xiaojin had asked them to stay here for a while before she left. In fact, she knew about this very well, but there was nothing she could do about it.
It looked like the enmity between the Saboteurs and the Yang Clan had already affected Yang Xiaojin's status in the Yang Clan.
Next to him, Yan Liuyuan said in a low voice, "An organization's attitude won't change just because of Big Sister Xiaojin. So, Bro, have you thought about what we're going to face?"
Ren Xiaosu rubbed his head and said with a smile, "It's fine. When I recover from my injuries, the Yang Clan won't be able to stop us. When that time comes, we'll head north and become bandits. I heard that the area between the Yang Clan, the Soong Clan, and Stronghold 178 is an ungoverned zone. "
Ren Xiaosu was right about this. Even Xu Xianchu had encountered bandits who tried to attack him on his way north to Stronghold 178.
Those bandits were gangsters that the Soong Clan had deliberately raised in the early years when they could still trade freely. Some of the bandits were even regular Soong Clan soldiers in disguise to loot goods.
But over the years, the Soong Clan had been raising bandits to become a threat to them. Many of the bandits had gradually broken away from their control and were living freely in the ungoverned zone.
Ren Xiaosu thought it was quite good to live in a place with no rules like this. With his strength, he should be able to establish himself there.
So he spent the next few days recuperating in the stronghold and observing the situation. When he realized that Stronghold 88 was indeed not a good place to return to, they could just go north and take over the territory.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door. When Wang Fugui went to open the door, he was surprised to see a group of people waiting outside with food in their hands.
A middle-aged man at the door said with a smile, "Hello, hello. I'm here on orders from the higher-ups to deliver food to everyone."
Luo Lan gasped. Was there such a huge difference in treatment?
