Luo Lan stood in front of the villa and looked at the middle-aged man standing at the entrance. He was dressed neatly in a suit, and his tie was clipped tightly in front of his chest by a golden tie clip. Luo Lan had seen him before, but only in a photo.
Zhou Shiji looked calmly at Luo Lan. "I was just out for a walk. There's no need to knock out an entire company of my soldiers, right?"
"Haha, it's all a misunderstanding," Luo Lan said with a chuckle.
At this moment, Luo Lan realized Ren Xiaosu had actually intended for him to come back. Otherwise, with Ren Xiaosu's decisive character, he would definitely not have knocked out the soldiers but slit their throats instead.
But if he killed these soldiers, there would be no room for reconciliation between Luo Lan and the Zhou Clan.
Zhou Shiji did not seem to intend to pursue the matter of the soldiers being knocked out. As the Houguan Lake villa complex was more important, there were surveillance cameras around.
Someone had already retrieved the surveillance footage just now, but they discovered that even the surveillance footage could not clearly capture the other party's figure.
What Luo Lan did not know was that Zhou Shiji's own official residence was also in the Houguan Lake villa complex. It was a very simple residence. Just now, Zhou Shiji did not hear anything at all. It wasn't until someone informed him that Luo Lan had escaped that he found out such a major incident had taken place in the Houguan Lake villa complex.
If this person had come to assassinate Zhou Shiji, what would have happened?
However, Zhou Shiji felt that this was not the most important thing. He looked at Luo Lan and asked, "Did you kill Zhou Xilong?"
"Of course not." Luo Lan was feeling refreshed. "I have a USB flash drive with me. There's evidence of the Public Order Division's director colluding with the Anjing House hitmen. The murderer's corpse has also been found!"
Zhou Shiji took the flash drive but did not say anything for a long time. He thought for a long time before saying, "Boss Luo, you really live up to your reputation. I didn't expect you to have such a great influence in Stronghold 73. Even we couldn't find the murderer, but you did."
This was obviously not a compliment. Zhou Shiji suspected that the Kyung Clan had planted a large number of spies in the Zhou Clan!
"I really didn't …" Luo Lan smiled awkwardly. "It was all thanks to the help of a friend who was passing by. He was the one who helped me find these."
"Then why did you come to my Zhou Clan, Boss Luo?" Zhou Shiji asked noncommittally.
"Make friends!" Luo Lan smiled and said, "Of course I want to make friends!"
"Then why didn't you look for me? Why did you look for Zhou Xilong instead? Could it be that I, Zhou Shiji, am not worthy of being your friend?" Zhou Shiji asked.
Luo Lan was embarrassed again. Did Zhou Shiji not know how to speak? Did he have to go straight to the point?
No!
Luo Lan suddenly looked up at Zhou Shiji. "I thought you weren't willing to be friends with my Kyung Clan, Brother Zhou."
"How could that be?" Zhou Shiji finally laughed. "The more friends, the better. The fewer enemies, the better."
Luo Lan finally understood that Zhou Shiji actually had the intention to ally with the Kyung Clan. But why? Wasn't Zhou Shiji the leader of the conservative faction?
The two of them did not waste any more time and went straight into the villa.
It wasn't until an hour later that Luo Lan finally understood. Although Zhou Shiji, the leader of the conservative faction, did not like to initiate a war, he wanted to protect himself and was willing to face a war in order to protect his own organization. This was not a conflict of interest.
And what Zhou Shiji was most worried about was actually the Wang Clan.
When both sides had a common imaginary enemy, the conversation would go much smoother.
Zhou Shiji sat on the sofa and said calmly, "Although I don't like Zhou Xilong's political views, he's an important figure in the Zhou Clan, so he can't just end his life for no reason. Many people say that the Anjing House is a righteous organization that only kills those who deserve to be killed. However, it's not qualified to be a judicial body. "
"Agreed," Luo Lan said with a smile.
Like Zhou Shiji, Luo Lan also disliked the Anjing House. That was because he might end up on their assassination list at any time. The people in power hated such a mysterious yet powerful organization.
Since the organizations had different standpoints, there would definitely be disagreements and conflicts.
Was Zhou Shiji in the wrong? Of course not. Why should a member of the Zhou Clan be judged by others? Did the Anjing House have enough impartiality to ensure that there was no self-interest in its judgment?
But were the Anjing House in the wrong? They also felt they were not in the wrong. In this era, since no one punished the wicked, they would be the ones to do so.
At the end of the day, it was because there were no fixed moral standards in this era, and the judiciary had collapsed.
Zhou Shiji looked at Luo Lan with the USB flash drive in his hand. "Who gave you this recording? This friend is very powerful. Why don't you come out and have a chat with us? I didn't expect there to be such a powerful person in the Kyung Clan. "
"Haha, he's not from our Kyung Clan." Luo Lan laughed and said, "Besides, he should've already left Stronghold 73. As for where he went, I'm not sure either. As for whether he's powerful or not, there's no doubt about it. At the very least, I, Luo Lan, admire him. "
Zhou Shiji was clearly taken aback. Based on what Luo Lan had said, this mysterious uninvited guest was actually not a member of the Kyung Clan? A powerful person who traveled alone?
…
At this moment, Zhou Yingxue was driving an off-road vehicle back to Stronghold 73. The vehicle was hidden in the wilderness by Wu Tong and the others. Now that Wu Tong was gone, the vehicle was naturally commandeered by Zhou Yingxue and Ren Xiaosu.
It would take three days to return to the black market from Stronghold 73 with a total distance of 678 kilometers. The main reason was that the roads were not good. Otherwise, they could've gotten there in a day.
Zhou Yingxue glanced at Ren Xiaosu, who was sleeping soundly in the passenger seat next to her. She curled her lips and muttered as she drove, "He's making me drive alone for such a long distance. He said it was for my own good that he didn't drive, but it's all an excuse. Men are all liars."
"What are you muttering about?" Ren Xiaosu's voice drifted over from the passenger seat.
"Ah!" Zhou Yingxue was startled. Didn't Master just snore? Could he have been pretending to be asleep?! She quickly explained, "Nothing much. I was just complaining that the roads are a little bad …."
Next to her, Ren Xiaosu laid down the passenger seat and lay down with his arms as a pillow. He looked as relaxed as he could be. He suddenly asked, "Is your superpower only limited to creating those three seeds? Why are you so weak …. "
Zhou Yingxue said unhappily, "Master, as the saying goes, don't hit people in the face. Aren't you going too far by saying I'm weak to my face?"
"Alright, you've been driving for quite some time now. Find a place to stop and rest." Ren Xiaosu said, "Let me see your superpower."
In the past, Ren Xiaosu did not intend to team up with Zhou Yingxue for too long, so he did not care about what superpowers she had.
But now that he had decided to team up and send Zhou Yingxue to the Anjing House, he had to get to know her better. Moreover, he had other plans as well.
