In the quiet house that was illuminated by a dim yellow light, Ren Xiaosu was pointing his pistol at Wu Tong as the two of them sat facing each other in a chair.
Professional hitmen like Wu Tong had gone through all kinds of escape training, such as distracting the enemy and dodging the muzzle of a gun.
In their opinion, having a gun pointed at their head might not necessarily lead to death, so they had to find an opportunity to do so.
But when Wu Tong faced Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue, he suddenly felt very helpless. These were two supernatural beings. Even if he could really dodge the bullets fired at him, the outcome would still be the same.
How terrifying was it for two supernatural beings to team up to carry out a mission?
No, it was not teaming up. It was more like one supernatural being was subordinate to another and was addressing the other party as "master."
To be honest, Wu Tong also wished to have a maidservant like this. Although Zhou Yingxue's looks could only be considered above average, she had a great figure!
There was no time to think any further. Ren Xiaosu said to Wu Tong with a smile, "You didn't expect us to find you, did you?"
It was all thanks to Zhou Yingxue that they were able to find Wu Tong this time. Although Ren Xiaosu was very strong in terms of combat, he did not have any expertise in finding and tracking people.
But Zhou Yingxue's ability helped Ren Xiaosu make up for this.
She could conjure a total of three types of seeds. The first type was similar to a bramble vine that could burrow out of the ground to kill enemies. The second type was a tunneling seed that could be used to open up hiding spots underground.
The third type would grow into a short four-leaf clover after it was planted. Zhou Yingxue only needed to crush the four-leaf clover in her hand into juice and smear it on the target's body. For three days, the target's body would constantly emit the smell of grass juice that only Zhou Yingxue could smell.
No matter how far away she was, she could follow the smell to find the target.
Ren Xiaosu thought about it and realized not every supernatural being had extremely powerful combat power. It seemed like some supernatural beings were not born with that kind of talent.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was looking at Wu Tong, who was standing before him. Wu Tong appeared to be rather calm. As expected of an assassin who had charged all the way up to A-class.
Wu Tong asked, "We're teammates on the same team, so why are you pointing a gun at me?"
Ren Xiaosu was amused. "Don't you know what you've done? I've already killed the other three. I didn't plan on giving you any leeway."
"You killed him?" Wu Tong's pupils contracted. "You're the sniper? Then Zhou Yingxue … "
He looked at Zhou Yingxue. At this moment, Zhou Yingxue was eating melon seeds again.
Ren Xiaosu said, "I don't have many questions, only two. If you answer them well, I'll give you a quick death. If you don't, I'm afraid you'll have to wait for three days and three nights before you die."
Wu Tong's emotions gradually calmed down. This was the first time he had seen such an interrogation method. At the very least, the other party was willing to give the person being interrogated a way out if they were lying.
But the more it was like this, the less he could muster any thoughts of resisting.
"Alright, we'll start now. Go ask your informant." Ren Xiaosu said, "Ask him where Luo Lan is being held. Since he knows the meeting place is at Liberation Park, it means he's in a very high position. How do you guys usually communicate?"
"Satellite phone." Wu Tong decided to answer cooperatively. He took out a satellite phone from his backpack and said, "I'll help you ask him now."
After a call, Wu Tong said, "Luo Lan is currently being held captive in a villa at Houguan Lake. The Zhou Clan doesn't dare to do anything to him and is still providing him with good food and drinks. Originally, they arrested him because they suspected he was the assassin he brought with him, but the Zhou Clan aren't stupid. They know there's no need for Luo Lan to do something like that."
Ren Xiaosu nodded. Actually, any smart person would know the purpose of Luo Lan's trip. Therefore, there was no need for Fatty Luo to get rid of a future ally they had just agreed on since there was no enmity between them.
But before the real assassin was found, it was impossible for Luo Lan to be released. At the very least, he was one of the suspects.
Ren Xiaosu then asked, "Who's your informant?"
Wu Tong was also a bachelor. Since he was about to die, why would he care about his informant's life? "He's the director of the Public Order Division. The position of overseer in Stronghold 73 has been vacant for a long time, so he started thinking about it. If someone assassinates Zhou Xilong, it'll definitely shock the entire Zhou Clan. If he can solve the case, he'll be highly praised and might even get a chance to compete for the position of stronghold overseer."
"People die for money, and birds die for food." Ren Xiaosu nodded. So Wu Tong had planned to kill Zhao Haocheng and make him the scapegoat. After he killed Zhao Haocheng, Wu Tong was worried about where he could find a scapegoat. However, in the end, Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue came knocking on his door.
That was why Wu Tong was so happy.
"Did Zhao Haocheng really kill your friend?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"He did kill a teammate, but that teammate of his was not my friend. I lied to you," Wu Tong said calmly.
"That makes sense." Ren Xiaosu nodded again. How could a ruthless person like Wu Tong have any thoughts of avenging his friend? All he had in mind was probably schemes and fame.
At this point, Ren Xiaosu gestured for Zhou Yingxue to turn off the voice recorder. He even carefully recalled that the content of the conversation did not reveal his identity from beginning to end. Only his voice was heard.
Zhou Yingxue took out the voice recorder and turned it off. Wu Tong said anxiously, "Since I'm so cooperative, can I —"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Ren Xiaosu get up and leave without even looking at him. Meanwhile, Zhou Yingxue carefully placed the melon seeds into the bag. Then she put a silencer on her pistol and fired a shot at his chest.
Wu Tong's vision was gradually blurring. He could vaguely see Zhou Yingxue twisting her slim figure as she followed the young man out the door and into the night.
He could also vaguely hear Zhou Yingxue say to the young man, "Master, I'm a little hungry."
The young man replied in a bad mood, "You're still hungry after eating so many melon seeds?!"
"I didn't eat much either."
Wu Tong's consciousness came to an end and returned to silence.
There was actually nothing wrong with his operation this time. There was only one person who was not part of the plan, and that was that young man.
Actually, Wu Tong did not know that Ren Xiaosu was quite disappointed with his answer.
Ren Xiaosu had thought it was the instructions of some mastermind behind the scenes. But it turned out that the other party was just the director of the Public Order Division. In Wu Tong's eyes, this position might already be considered a big shot in the stronghold. But to Ren Xiaosu, he seemed to have already killed several chiefs of the Public Order Division.
Moreover, ever since Ren Xiaosu stepped into this world, he had only come into contact with people like Qing Zhen, Luo Lan, Yang Xiaojin, and Zhang Jinglin. He really did not think much of a mere director of the Public Order Division who only knew how to scheme.
All of a sudden, the palace issued a quest. "Quest: Save a friend from danger."
Ren Xiaosu was walking down the bustling streets. Even without this quest, he would still go and save his friend.
