By the time Ren Xiaosu returned to the black market, it was already seven days later. No one knew where he had been during this period.
But when he entered the hotel and checked into a room, Ren Xiaosu was surprised to see someone wearing the Pyro Company logo on their chest coming out of the elevator and heading outside.
Honestly, when Ren Xiaosu saw the small flame on the other party's chest, he almost beat him up in the hotel.
After all, Ren Xiaosu had subconsciously treated the Pyro Company as his enemy for such a long time.
However, Ren Xiaosu held back. After all, this was the black market.
After he went upstairs and entered his room, Zhou Yingxue knocked on the door. Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhou Yingxue and said with a half-smile, "Aren't you going to leave after seeing so much money?"
Zhou Yingxue curled her lips and did not answer his question. Instead, she wrote down her account number for Ren Xiaosu. "Master, 80% of your money is in this account."
"Mhm." Ren Xiaosu nodded and took the note. "You can pay for your daily mission expenses from this account. I won't exploit you. After all, you still have your sick mother. By the way, do you have enough for your mother's medical expenses? "
"If I say it's not enough, will you give me another 10%?" Zhou Yingxue looked at Ren Xiaosu eagerly.
Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "If it's not enough, I can take you on some more missions."
"Forget it then." Zhou Yingxue sat on the sofa and muttered, "I still want to rest for a while longer."
"By the way, I saw some people from the Pyro Company in the hotel lobby just now. How did they get into the black market?" Ren Xiaosu wondered, "And they even had their logo on them in such a big way."
Zhou Yingxue looked at Ren Xiaosu in confusion. "Isn't that normal?"
"Normal?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned. "Shouldn't the Pyro Company be hated by everyone?"
"That's only for supernatural beings." Zhou Yingxue said, "It's not like the Pyro Company is arresting normal people. Moreover, they've only started arresting supernatural beings in recent years. They're also doing it in secret, so many supernatural beings don't even know about it."
"The Pyro Company is also very domineering. Doesn't anyone dislike it?"
"Of course I'm disgusted, but aren't all organizations like that?" Zhou Yingxue said, "Besides, the Pyro Company owns several strongholds, so they're basically the overlord of the region. Other than the Anjing House and the Saboteurs, no one would want to offend them, right?"
Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized it was his previous experience in the Southwest that had caused his impression of the Pyro Company to change. It was mainly because Yang Xiaojin wanted to attack the Pyro Company that he had subconsciously blacklisted them.
Only now did he realize that in the eyes of most people, the Pyro Company was actually not that different from the other organizations.
Zhou Yingxue said, "Moreover, the Pyro Company has always used this black market as a transit point. It's said that the Pyro Company has a very good relationship with the Qinghe Group. It seems that the relationship between the two founders' families is very good, so the Pyro Company has always been an ally of Luoyang City over the years. Moreover, the Pyro Company has never arrested supernatural beings within the Qinghe Group's control. As a result, many supernatural beings come to this black market to avoid the Pyro Company."
"Aren't they afraid that the Pyro Company will make another move after they get out?" Ren Xiaosu wondered.
"I don't think the Pyro Company has ever done such a thing in the black market before," Zhou Yingxue explained.
"What's the relationship between the Pyro Company and the Qinghe Group?" Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled.
However, none of this seemed to have much to do with him. In any case, he would still have to make a move on the Pyro Company when he saw them in the wilderness in the future. After all, it was not the first time the Pyro Company had tried to deal with him.
Ren Xiaosu cast a sidelong glance at Zhou Yingxue. "What have you been doing in the black market these past few days? You didn't go out to attract attention, did you?"
"No." Zhou Yingxue said, "I'm not that kind of person to attract attention."
With that, Ren Xiaosu saw the newly bought large diamond ring on Zhou Yingxue's right index finger and the emerald bracelet on her wrist.
Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "You didn't go to the casino?"
"No." Zhou Yingxue shook her head. "My father got into a lot of debt because of gambling. If it weren't for that, my mother wouldn't have gotten so sick that she didn't have the money to treat her illness. When she passed away —"
At this point, Zhou Yingxue's words came to an abrupt halt. The room fell silent.
Ren Xiaosu stared blankly at Zhou Yingxue. "Don't say anything yet. Let me think about it. When we were at Stronghold 88, you said you wanted to go back to save your mother. Then the last time I met you, you said you wanted to earn money to treat your mother's illness. But now you're saying your mother has passed away …."
"It was a slip of the tongue …."
Ren Xiaosu said with a dark expression, "Do I look like someone who's so gullible?"
Zhou Yingxue quickly squatted down next to Ren Xiaosu and massaged his legs. "I was afraid you'd kill me, Master. What else could I have said? What's wrong with a weak woman like me telling a lie when I'm out …. "
Ren Xiaosu looked up at the ceiling speechlessly. As expected, there was no longer any trust between people in this world. Back then, he had only let Zhou Yingxue go because he felt she was quite filial.
Ren Xiaosu had never met his parents, nor had he mentioned this to anyone. However, this did not mean he did not miss them or feel regretful about it.
So when she mentioned that she wanted to save his mother and treat her illness, his heart did soften for a moment.
Only now did he realize Zhou Yingxue did not even blink when she lied! Was this what an intelligence agent was like?!
But what else could he do now? Should he kill Zhou Yingxue again? That shouldn't be necessary, right? After all, she had been addressing him as "Master" for quite some time now.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhou Yingxue. He suspected she was certain he would not do anything to her anymore, so she deliberately let it slip and laid her cards on the table.
Ren Xiaosu snapped, "What other lies have you told? Huh? "
"Nothing else, nothing else." Zhou Yingxue quickly shook her head.
Just as Ren Xiaosu was about to say something, Zhou Yingxue's cell phone suddenly lit up. A new text message appeared on it. "Protection Mission: Protect the female singer from Stronghold 62 during her tour. She'll be passing through 37 strongholds for a total of 12 performances. The employer has requested for a female supernatural being. Female supernatural beings, please sign up and take a selfie to verify your gender. Remuneration: 2 million yuan. "
Ren Xiaosu was surprised. This was the first time he had seen a protection mission. He asked Zhou Yingxue, "Have you seen such a mission before?"
"Yes." Zhou Yingxue nodded. "The previous mission was to protect the Zhou Clan's Zhou Shiji. But the strange thing is that protection missions always require an employer, but assassination missions don't seem to have an employer. It's as though the Anjing House is the one who wants to kill the killer. Should we accept this mission? "
"Yes!" Ren Xiaosu said firmly.
This mission gave him a sense of déjà vu. He suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. Could this female singer also be a member of the Saboteurs? If she was, would he be able to find Yang Xiaojin?
