Ever since he arrived in the Central Plains, Ren Xiaosu felt like he had entered a new world. There were not only the Kyung Clan and Fortress 178 here, but there were also many strange organizations such as the Pyro Company, the Anjing House, the Qinghe Group, and so on.
This was a much broader world. It was no wonder Yang Xiaojin had said she would come here after she was done with the matters in the Southwest. Thinking about it, she was willing to stay with him in that godforsaken place in the valley. It was also a form of attitude.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu felt the Qinghe Group was most likely the boss of the largest and most professional black market in the Central Plains. If he could think of something, others could definitely think of it too.
But the reason why everyone ignored the black market was probably because of the Qinghe Group's aloof attitude. Since an organization like this had no intention of competing for power in the Central Plains, they could naturally take a step back on some of the insignificant matters.
"Let's go and see what this black market is like at night." Ren Xiaosu got up and went out. Zhou Yingxue followed behind him, but she silently curled her lips. Wasn't he just here to see the colorful world? He must have been tempted by what she said about the croupier and the brothel. None of these men were good people!
However, Zhou Yingxue still obediently followed behind him. When they went out, the two of them resumed their identities as A-rank hitmen and assistants. Zhou Yingxue's expression was as arrogant as it could get.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that Zhou Yingxue was getting a little addicted to role-playing.
When they passed by the legendary brothel, a group of beautiful women in uniforms stood at the entrance and smiled at passersby. Ren Xiaosu asked, "What uniform is that? I've never seen any soldier wearing it before."
"It's said that it's the uniform of the flight attendants from before The Cataclysm. They're the flight attendants on the planes," Zhou Yingxue explained.
Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
This black market had really broadened his horizons. It was no wonder the mob bosses were willing to stay here. According to Zhou Yingxue, the black market had even built a villa area and sold it to the mob bosses at sky-high prices.
Moreover, there were always people from the black market regularly cleaning up the wild animals in the surrounding mountains. There was not even a snake to be found in the entire mountain range.
However, Zhou Yingxue asked, "Aren't you going to the brothel to have a look? Didn't you come out in the middle of the night just to see it? "
"I'm just going to have a look." Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
Zhou Yingxue was shocked. Was he really just going to look?!
Just as they walked to the entrance of the casino, Ren Xiaosu was stunned. He and Zhou Yingxue saw the Rider member with a red face scarf walking out of the casino with a student in his hand.
The student was more than 50 kilograms, but the man was as light as he was a feather.
The student who Xiaosu Ye Clan's School. "Xiau" on he "Since" Happened, Sect Lu. "Xiaosu"
The student got up in a sorry state. "You're only here to protect us. What right do you have to make such a decision?"
The Knight member said coldly, "You'll know why I made such a decision when you walk back to Luoyang City."
Ren Xiaosu muttered, "It seems like the Knight Organization has a lot of authority in the Qinghe Group."
"Of course." Zhou Yingxue nodded and said, "They're all believers of the founder of the Qinghe Group. The current leader of the Qinghe Group, Xu Ke, is also very respectful to them. It's said that only those who pass the eight tests can become true believers."
"Then why did this student dare to talk back to him?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"That's because these Knight members don't have any actual positions in the Qinghe Group." Zhou Yingxue also did not know much about the internal structure of the Qinghe Group.
"I think it's because they're young and insensible. Their families must've warned them before, but their curiosity drove them into the casino. After they were caught, they could only fly into a rage out of humiliation." Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "Look, he doesn't even dare to look at that Knight anymore. This means he knows very well what kind of status the other party has in the Qinghe Group. It's just that his living conditions are too good that he has nothing better to do."
Zhou Yingxue looked at Ren Xiaosu strangely. 'Aren't you the same age as that student?'
"Do you know anything about the founder of the Qinghe Group?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"A lot of information was lost after The Cataclysm, and only a few people in the Qinghe Group know about it. It seems that there are some secrets hidden in the founder's life. Everyone is guessing that if we know about his life, we'll know why he was able to become a supernatural being before The Cataclysm." Zhou Yingxue thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, everyone is actually quite curious about this secret."
"What's the founder's name?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"His name is Ren He." Zhou Yingxue said firmly, "It's not really a secret."
"Let's go back to the hotel." Ren Xiaosu turned around and left.
Zhou Yingxue followed behind him eagerly. "Then what should we do next?"
"Wait."
…
After returning to the hotel at night, Zhou Yingxue quietly placed a pillow on the sofa for herself. Since there was only one reserved room left, she could only sleep on the sofa.
Ren Xiaosu swaggered onto the bed without any intention of behaving like a gentleman. Zhou Yingxue felt aggrieved as she covered herself with a thin blanket.
However, Zhou Yingxue slept exceptionally soundly. It was as though she was no longer worried about what Ren Xiaosu would do to her.
She slept until dawn when she suddenly woke up. Then she saw Ren Xiaosu moving a chair over and sitting calmly next to her. Zhou Yingxue immediately woke up. She quickly wrapped herself in the blanket and asked cautiously, "What are you doing?!"
Ren Xiaosu asked unhurriedly, "Were you dreaming?"
Zhou Yingxue was taken aback. "How did you know … No, I wasn't dreaming!"
"Then what did you mean by talking in your sleep?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"What did I say …"
Ren Xiaosu said expressionlessly, "You said that I'll beat you to death, Ren Xiaosu …"
Zhou Yingxue was so frightened that she cried on the spot. "It was just a dream. Who would take it seriously?"
Ren Xiaosu did not argue with her. Instead, he got up and said, "Get up and wash up. There's something to do."
Zhou Yingxue quickly crawled out of the blanket on the sofa. "What is it?"
"A mission has arrived."
A text message appeared on their cell phones at the same time: "A-rank mission. Target: Zhou Xilong, located in Stronghold 73. Advocates the development of nuclear weapons and once took his subordinate's wife by force. Suspected to be protected by a supernatural being. Reward: 1 million yuan. Up to five people are willing to work together, and all of them will be granted access to the safe house once.
Ren Xiaosu put the cell phone into his pocket. He basically carried it with him at all times. Otherwise, he would not be able to receive any text messages if he kept it in the palace.
However, he suddenly felt that the Anjing House and the Saboteurs seemed to have a common goal as they were both hostile to nuclear weapons. Could there be some connection between the Anjing House and the Saboteurs? But he had never heard Yang Xiaojin mention it before.
