Luo Lan cursed as he ran out of the house. He was really annoyed that he had been suppressed earlier. "Damn it, someone actually dared to kill me. Luckily, I didn't let my guard down."
However, Luo Lan was also a little surprised. Although he had guessed that Ren Xiaosu was a supernatural being, his impression of Ren Xiaosu was not that powerful.
Thinking of this, Luo Lan asked one of his subordinates who had been hiding behind a tree, "Did you get a good look at how he killed them?"
The soldier shook his head. "I didn't get a good look."
"Who are these people?" Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Lan. "Don't tell anyone that I helped you. I don't want to get into trouble like this."
"Alright, that's for sure." Luo Lan looked at the corpses and said, "Search them and see if we can find anything, but it won't make much sense. Kamikaze warriors who know how to take drugs wouldn't have any clues on them anyway."
Sure enough, after searching them, they discovered that they had nothing on them other than their pistols and magazines.
Luo Lan crouched down next to them and thought about it. "Let me think, who would benefit from my death?"
Ren Xiaosu sat down on a stone stool next to him and let him think about it slowly.
"The Soong Clan?" Luo Lan wondered, "If they kill me, the Yang Clan and the Kyung Clan will immediately get embroiled in a war. The Soong Clan in the north doesn't have a natural environment as good as the south, so they've always been plotting to invade Stronghold 178. However, they can't win against them. That's why they're trying to infiltrate Stronghold 178 and use it as leverage. If the Yang Clan and the Kyung Clan start fighting, they can just sit back and reap the benefits. "
However, Luo Lan changed his mind and said, "But the Soong Clan's people are still in the stronghold. If they kill me, Qing Zhen will probably think of this too. He might even direct his anger at the Soong Clan. Therefore, it's also possible that the Yang Clan is trying to play dirty and kill me while the Soong Clan's people are in Stronghold 178. That way, they won't be able to explain themselves and force the Soong Clan to face Qing Zhen together with them. After all, the Soong Clan can't prove that I'm not one of his people. "
Ren Xiaosu said impatiently, "Your analysis is useless."
"Then what can I do?" Luo Lan's small eyes widened. "There aren't any f * cking clues here. Can't I just make wild guesses?"
"Alright, take your time making wild guesses." Ren Xiaosu said, "Remember, don't tell anyone that I was the one who saved you. I'll be leaving the stronghold the day after tomorrow, so don't complicate things."
Luo Lan's expression changed drastically. "What will I do if you leave? What if someone tries to kill me?"
"Don't worry, Liuyuan's right next to me." Ren Xiaosu said nonchalantly, "Besides, that Soong Clan kid is leaving with me. Once he leaves, you'll probably be safe."
"Eh, where are y 'all going?" Luo Lan wondered.
"We're going to exterminate the bandits." Ren Xiaosu climbed back into his yard.
At this moment, he heard Luo Lan shout in a low voice, "Wait, you're saying that Liuyuan will protect me? Can he do it? "
Ren Xiaosu had really taken Luo Lan as a friend, and it was the same for Luo Lan. Therefore, Ren Xiaosu did not mind helping Luo Lan.
But tonight's incident was really strange. The Yang Clan and the Kyung Clan seemed to be getting along peacefully. The troops of both sides were still working together to fight the Li Consortium at the front lines. It was as though Luo Lan was not under house arrest at all.
But under this seemingly calm surface of the sea, turbulent waves were surging.
The Li Consortium's front line at Mt. Guangying was in a precarious situation. Many of the Li Consortium's troops were forced to engage in guerrilla warfare with the Yang Clan and the Kyung Clan in the mountains in an attempt to destroy their logistical supply lines and advance routes. After all, they could not defeat the Yang Clan's armored brigade head-on, and the Kyung Clan's missile troops were especially ferocious. Therefore, the Li Consortium could only use this method to try and delay their defeat.
When defeat really came, the Yang Clan and the Kyung Clan would probably start fighting right away. This was the outcome many people speculated.
Luo Lan and Ren Xiaosu both knew that Qing Zhen would send reinforcements, but no one knew what method Qing Zhen would use to rescue them. Would it be a forceful attack? Then Luo Lan would definitely be gone.
Ren Xiaosu felt that with his level of insight, he would probably not be able to guess what Qing Zhen was up to.
…
With the impending task of exterminating the bandits, Sister Xiaoyu got busy again. She did not stop to purchase all kinds of supplies for Ren Xiaosu, afraid that Ren Xiaosu would suffer outside.
But now, there was already a vacuum zone in Ren Xiaosu's storage space, so the food would not go bad at all.
"These are the new tents, moisture-proof pads, and quilts," Sister Xiaoyu said. Although she did not know how Ren Xiaosu was going to carry them, she had long since realized that Ren Xiaosu actually had the ability to carry more things.
After all, she was one of the closest people to Ren Xiaosu, and they lived together every day, so how could she not have noticed something?
"These are the new stainless steel bowls and chopsticks. Take them with you too."
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "Wait, why did you bring two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks?"
"Didn't you go out with Miss Xiaojin?" Sister Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment. "Since you can bring more, then you should bring one for her."
"Why is there only one set of tents?" Ren Xiaosu was dumbfounded.
Sister Xiaoyu laughed. "Why are you so shy? I only brought one tent for you. That's for your own good. It's fine if you don't need it, but if you do, you'll thank me …"
Ren Xiaosu was taken aback by her words and did not know how to respond to her.
But at this moment, a car stopped outside. Someone got out and knocked on the door. "Hello, is anyone there?"
Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows. The voice was very unfamiliar and he had never heard it before.
He went to open the door, but when he opened it, he found a young man he had never seen before standing at the door.
"Hello, my name is Zong Cheng. Nice to meet you." Zong Cheng was as tall as Ren Xiaosu, and he was still holding the gifts in his hands.
Behind him, Zong Cheng's subordinates wanted to help him carry the gifts. However, Zong Cheng smiled and said, "It's fine, I can do it myself. Wait for me outside. Don't come in and dirty my yard."
Ren Xiaosu had to admit that Zong Cheng's smile was very amiable. It made people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze. It was completely different from what he had imagined. He had thought that Zong Cheng was here to pick a fight with him, but it turned out that he was here to give him gifts?
Zong Cheng said, "You must be Ren Xiaosu. I brought you some gifts from the north. They're our hometown's specialty wolfberries. They're very cheap, so I hope you don't mind. "
Ren Xiaosu thought that Wang Fugui might have a need for them, so he accepted them.
Zong Cheng said happily, "I won't be going in. Since we're going to suppress the bandits together, we still need to go to the market to buy some supplies. Is there anything you need to buy? I can help you buy them."
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him. "No need."
"Then please take care of me along the way," Zong Cheng said politely.
"Okay, I'll take care of you," Ren Xiaosu said nonchalantly.
"Thank you very much," Zong Cheng said.
Ren Xiaosu had been waiting for this moment. He did not receive any gratitude tokens from Zong Cheng.
