Ren Xiaosu glanced at Zhou Yingxue's wounds. "Don't worry, they're not fatal. She won't die within three days."
Zhou Yingxue was furious. What did he mean by she wouldn't die within three days? "It's not like I only have three days to live. If I die, who's going to take care of my mother? My mother is already in her 50s and has cancer. Do you think I became a hitman for my own sake? I need to earn money to treat her!"
When he heard that, Ren Xiaosu fell silent for a moment. He could not bear to hear something like that after he untied her.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yingxue heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She had made the right bet. Ren Xiaosu was still someone with a bottom line. If he could let her go last time, he would do the same this time.
If it were someone without a bottom line, who would care about her mother's life or death? Zhou Yingxue would definitely not have been able to escape this time. She might even have to suffer inhuman humiliation before she died.
Fortunately, the person she encountered was Ren Xiaosu.
However, on second thought, Zhou Yingxue realized that if the person she encountered was not a powerful supernatural being like Ren Xiaosu, she would not have ended up tied up.
After she was untied, Zhou Yingxue said in a low voice, "I have to treat my wounds. Can you go out for a while?"
"Why would I go out if you're treating your wounds?"
Zhou Yingxue said softly, "I want to take off my clothes …."
Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "If you put it that way, I won't feel sleepy anymore …."
"I know you're not that kind of person," Zhou Yingxue said softly.
Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows but did not say anything in the end. He went to the backyard to peel the potatoes.
Zhou Yingxue heaved a sigh of relief again. In this day and age, it was really lucky to meet a man who had a bottom line. She was suddenly curious as to why a powerful supernatural being like Ren Xiaosu would also have a bottom line. If she had not been released by Ren Xiaosu in the past, she would not have believed it.
She slowly took off the short-sleeved shirt in the room. There was a rustling sound in the room, but Ren Xiaosu was still peeling the potatoes as if there was no one else around.
On the other side, Zhou Yingxue observed quietly. When she realized that Ren Xiaosu really wouldn't enter the house, she suddenly moved towards the door, trying to take this opportunity to escape.
In the end, Ren Xiaosu's voice drifted over, "If you take two more steps, you will definitely die. Do you believe me?"
Zhou Yingxue's body froze. She explained, "I was just looking for a needle and thread to suture the wound. My wound is very deep, so it needs to be sutured."
With that, a box of needle and thread and a small bottle of black medicine were tossed in from outside. "Use this medicine after you suture it. Remember to say thank you."
Zhou Yingxue was helpless. She realized even though she was usually a fearsome A-rank hitman, she always felt a sense of powerlessness when facing Ren Xiaosu.
When she was at Stronghold 88, that young man looked harmless and was not this terrifying. But after she was defeated by Ren Xiaosu once, she understood what rank Ren Xiaosu was.
Even if an official member of the Anjing House were here, they would probably not be able to do anything to Ren Xiaosu.
Zhou Yingxue could only focus on treating her wound. As she sutured her wound, she asked, "Why did you also come here to be a hitman for the Anjing House?"
Ren Xiaosu replied as he peeled a potato, "To earn money."
"Then why didn't you just tell the Anjing House that you're a supernatural being?" Zhou Yingxue was puzzled. But she immediately realized, "No, you don't want to expose your identity?"
Ren Xiaosu said expressionlessly, "You know too much."
Zhou Yingxue was startled. She quickly changed the topic and said, "But with your strength, you should be able to advance to the next rank very soon, right? Why are you still stuck at D-rank?"
"I just bought a cell phone." Ren Xiaosu said, "Are you dressed yet?"
"I'm dressed."
Ten minutes later, Zhou Yingxue sat in a chair and looked at the ropes that had tied her up again. She said angrily, "We used to know each other, and I'm an injured girl. How could you do this to me? Are you even a man?! "
Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu lay down on the bed and slept like there was no one around him. Before he fell asleep, he even said patiently, "It's because of you that I haven't gone to sleep even though it's almost dawn. Don't grumble next to me, or I'll have to gag your mouth again. Be more self-aware, alright?"
Zhou Yingxue did not say anything. She realized Ren Xiaosu had a gun pointed at her while he slept.
It wasn't until noon that Zhou Yingxue slowly woke up in the chair. She had also slept, but she did not sleep well.
When she woke up, she smelled the aroma in the kitchen and asked curiously, "What did you cook?"
"Potatoes." Ren Xiaosu replied calmly, "Don't you know what those plants in my backyard are for?"
Zhou Yingxue was at a loss. "I don't know."
She could only make plants develop an affinity for her. However, the plants that she could control had to be the seeds that she had planted within her abilities.
Actually, Zhou Yingxue's abilities were not that strong. At the very least, she was not as good at controlling metal or drawing dragons in actual combat.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was one of the weakest A-rank hitmen.
At this moment, Zhou Yingxue's cell phone rang. Ren Xiaosu picked it up and saw a text message. "If you've survived and escaped, please reply 1. If you need a safe house or help, please reply 2."
Ren Xiaosu untied Zhou Yingxue. "Reply 1 yourself."
Zhou Yingxue was a little confused. "Why did you tie me up here? If you're afraid that I'll leak the secret, wouldn't it be easier to just kill me? If you're not afraid that I'll leak the secret, why don't you just let me go? It'll be safer for you. That way, if anyone searches this place, no one will discover I'm here. "
At this point, Zhou Yingxue suddenly panicked. "Don't tell me you're going to keep me here …."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ren Xiaosu snapped, "Just stay here obediently for three days. After that, you can go wherever you want. As for the search, you don't have to worry about it. It's likely that all the hitmen and members of the Pyro Company in the stronghold have been caught in one fell swoop. That's why the Wang Clan didn't carry out any follow-up hunts. In any case, I haven't even seen a wanted poster."
Zhou Yingxue's mind was in a mess. She felt things had gotten messy ever since she met Ren Xiaosu. She could not figure out what Ren Xiaosu was trying to do.
He even made her jump rope the other time, so he was obviously not a normal person.
Zhou Yingxue asked curiously, "Are you really not trying to take me for yourself?"
Ren Xiaosu did not know whether to laugh or cry. "The person I like is much better looking than you!"
When Zhou Yingxue heard this, she nearly fainted from anger. 'You might as well say you're trying to take me for yourself! I, Zhou Yingxue, can't stand this injustice! '
Ren Xiaosu found it a little strange when he saw Zhou Yingxue sulking. Why was this woman so strange? She got angry when he expressed that he did not have any feelings for her!
