The battle in the stronghold lasted until late into the night, but it still did not stop. Ren Xiaosu could still hear gunshots coming from the stronghold from time to time in the courtyard.
Ren Xiaosu thought that if he were not at Stronghold 63 the day before yesterday, the battle would probably have lasted this long too.
Fortunately, the battle in the stronghold had attracted the attention of Stronghold 63's garrison troops. Otherwise, they would probably have come searching for Zhou Yingxue.
He wondered if anyone had seen Zhou Yingxue escaping.
But how was he going to deal with Zhou Yingxue? He tied up Zhou Yingxue. Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt he had tied up Zhou Yingxue first the last two times he met her. This was not the right way to meet her.
Zhou Yingxue slowly regained consciousness. She struggled a little in the chair and realized she could not move. She looked up at Ren Xiaosu and said, "What are you trying to do? Why are you here? Are you here to arrest me? Could it be that you've joined the Pyro Company or the Wang Clan? "
"No, wait a minute." Ren Xiaosu said, "This is my fucking house. Is it appropriate for you to come to my house in the middle of the night and ask me why I'm here? Shouldn't I be the one asking you why you're here? What are you plotting against me? "
When Zhou Yingxue heard this, she nearly went into shock from anger. 'Who's plotting against you?!'
However, Zhou Yingxue did not understand. Why was this Ren Xiaosu's house? Wasn't this the town outside of Stronghold 61?
In Zhou Yingxue's opinion, Ren Xiaosu was a much more powerful supernatural being than her, so he should not be living in a town.
However, she had already lost too much blood, and her ability to think was lacking. She could only try her best to argue, "Lie, continue to lie. How could a person like you live here?"
Then, Zhou Yingxue watched silently as Ren Xiaosu picked up the key and the lock. With a slight twist of the key, the lock was unlocked.
It seemed that he was afraid that Zhou Yingxue didn't see it clearly, so Ren Xiaosu fastened the lock again, and then opened it again … He repeated this many times …
It was as if he was silently mocking Zhou Yingxue.
Zhou Yingxue felt a slight pain at the back of her head. "Stop it, stop it."
She just couldn't understand how there could be such an infuriating player in this world!
Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "This is the lock to my house. The plants in the backyard are planted by me, and the chair you're sitting on was made by a carpenter I hired. On the bedside table next to the chair are some books I stole from Stronghold 88's library … no, borrowed books."
With this, Zhou Yingxue finally believed him. She stayed silent for a moment before asking, "Why are you here? Where did y 'all go after Stronghold 88 was destroyed? Were y' all responsible for the destruction of Stronghold 88?"
Ren Xiaosu asked, "You're in charge of some of the Yang Clan's intelligence work. Don't you know that it was the Li Consortium's nanosoldiers who destroyed Stronghold 88? You must've seen those irrational warriors that night, right? By the way, did you manage to save your mother? "
"I did." Zhou Yingxue recalled that her mother had only been saved because Ren Xiaosu had let her go back then. As such, her hostility lessened a little.
But on second thought, Zhou Yingxue realized that couldn't be right. She had also been kidnapped by Ren Xiaosu at that time.
At that time, she had just returned home from grocery shopping to cook for her mother. However, she encountered this guy on the way and was knocked unconscious!
Zhou Yingxue asked, "What are you trying to do now?"
"Come, I'll ask and you answer." Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "Are you from the Anjing House?"
"No." Zhou Yingxue shook her head. "At least not yet."
"Then you must be an A-rank hitman in the periphery, right?" Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "You're a woman, so it's not convenient for me to search you. Where's your cell phone? Hand it over."
Zhou Yingxue was no longer as charming as she was in the library. Instead, she was wearing a tight-fitting black short-sleeved shirt and pants that made her look rather agile.
Actually, Zhou Yingxue was not considered good-looking and could only be considered slightly above average. It was just that she had a certain air about her that was more outstanding.
Zhou Yingxue suddenly asked, "How do you know about the Anjing House and the periphery hitmen?"
"Ahem." Ren Xiaosu said reservedly, "It just so happens that I'm also an periphery hitman."
Zhou Yingxue was really dumbfounded. "You're also an A-rank hitman?"
"No, I'm a D-rank …" Ren Xiaosu took out a D-rank cell phone that he had snatched but had never used before.
Zhou Yingxue burst out laughing. "What? You're a D-rank hitman?! You're not kidding, right? Why would a supernatural being like you become a D-rank hitman? "
Ren Xiaosu said unhappily, "Is it that funny? Don't I have to do missions to slowly level up? Didn't you start out as a D-rank hitman? "
"Of course not." Zhou Yingxue laughed heartily. "When a supernatural being identifies themselves, they'll immediately get a new cell phone. Even the missions inside will be different. That cell phone of yours is a D-rank cell phone that you snatched from someone else, right? You can't get missions below A-rank. Furthermore, A-rank missions require a fingerprint match."
"That can't be right. I can get A-rank missions," Ren Xiaosu said puzzledly.
Wait a minute. Actually, he had never received any A-rank missions before. But ever since he caused trouble at Stronghold 61 and 63, he was able to receive them.
He took out Zhou Yingxue's cell phone from her right trouser pocket. Zhou Yingxue's cell phone was clearly more exquisite than his, and the camera's resolution was also clearer. There was also a special fingerprint verification area for unlocking the cell phone.
So the reason he could receive A-rank missions was really because the Anjing House had given him special treatment after discovering he had caused trouble?!
In that case, he would have to be more careful when completing missions in the future.
Although he could reveal his identity as a supernatural being to the Anjing House like Zhou Yingxue to obtain an A-rank mission, he did not want to expose his identity.
Snatching an A-rank cell phone? In the end, the Anjing House even sneakily installed a fingerprint identification system on the A-rank cell phones so that each person could get their own cell phone.
Therefore, anyone who reached A-rank would have to get a new cell phone. If they were to get a new cell phone, it would have to be handed over to someone from the Anjing House in person and set up a fingerprint identification system. At that time, his identity would still be exposed.
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Was your cell phone given to you by a member of the Anjing House in person?"
"No." Zhou Yingxue shook her head. "It was brought to me by a white paper crane. The Anjing House never asks about a hitman's identity. Whether they hide their identity or make it public, it's all up to them."
Realization dawned on Ren Xiaosu. So that was how it was. It was good that there was no need to hand it over to them in person. But he was finally sure the superhuman who could control the paper crane belonged to the Anjing House. However, he wondered what his status was in the Anjing House.
His status shouldn't be too high either. After all, it looked like he was just a postman or a messenger.
At this moment, Zhou Yingxue suddenly said, "Untie me. I want to clean my wound. I'll tell you what you want to know later. If you don't treat me soon, I'll die …."
