After the assistant named Fang Zhi left, it was as though nothing had happened between the two parties. Even when they met, everyone tacitly did not mention anything about it.
Honestly, Li Ran had too much to drink last night, so she was a little confused about what happened last night. She remembered something must have happened, but everyone told her she was only knocked unconscious by the other party.
This made Li Ran a little unhappy. She had taken the initiative to go to the other party's room, but they ended up knocking her out? Was it because her charm was too bad?
Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu was no longer thinking about this matter. He was thinking about how he could help Zhou Yingxue complete her mission during this so-called tour.
In addition to this escort mission, Zhou Yingxue still needed to complete two more missions before next spring. Only then would she be qualified to participate in the Anjing House's trials.
"Master, this escort mission will probably last until the end of the year. We already missed an A-rank mission while we were waiting for her." Zhou Yingxue complained, "Time is so tight. What if there aren't enough missions to complete?"
Ren Xiaosu said helplessly, "Don't worry, I'll think of something."
It was indeed his fault for making a mistake in accepting the mission this time.
Three days later, Fang Zhi suddenly came to inform them that the group was ready to set off. Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue did not have any objections. They just hoped this group of people could progress on the tour as quickly as possible without any further delays.
The tour team had specially vacated a car for Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue. They even wanted to arrange a driver for them, but Zhou Yingxue rejected it.
She even took out a professional black box and carefully checked the interior of the car to make sure there were no monitoring devices or GPS devices. Only then did she feel relieved.
After all, she often had to whisper to Ren Xiaosu, so it would not be good if others heard her.
Before getting into the car, Ren Xiaosu and Li Ran met face to face. However, Ren Xiaosu realized that Li Ran deliberately looked straight ahead as she walked past him. She did not even glance at him, as though she had never seen him before.
It was like a silent declaration of war: I'm not interested in you. Going to your room that night was purely a gift to you! To put it bluntly, it was called pampering!
Neither of them said anything, but Ren Xiaosu instantly understood what the other party meant from their posture …
Meanwhile, the other staff were sizing up Ren Xiaosu curiously. Many of them knew that Li Ran had drunk too much that night and had gone to look for Ren Xiaosu. Therefore, everyone looked at Ren Xiaosu, wondering what had happened.
In short, Ren Xiaosu suddenly became the focus of the tour group because of this trivial matter …
After Zhou Yingxue got into the car, she leaned against the steering wheel and laughed for more than ten minutes. It wasn't until Ren Xiaosu's expression darkened that she quickly stopped laughing.
She changed the topic and said, "Ahem, I wonder why there are more than 20 cars in this tour group. I saw there were even box trucks in the convoy behind us."
"There are speakers and musical instruments in them. I've checked them all," Ren Xiaosu said calmly.
Zhou Yingxue was taken aback. She did not know when Ren Xiaosu had gone to search the tour group.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhou Yingxue and said, "You should be the one to do things like this in advance. Don't let your guard down just because you're no longer doing intelligence work."
Zhou Yingxue answered in a low voice, "Okay."
The convoy set off, and their first stop was the Zhou Clan. This required Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue to be careful with them. If their identities were exposed, it would be very awkward.
This tour group was formed from the Wang Clan. After the Wang Clan's tour was completed, all that was left were the Zhou Clan and the Kong Clan.
The tour group would start with the Zhou Clan before passing through the Kong Clan. The final performance venue was set to be at the Qinghe Group's Luoyang City before returning to the black market.
Fortunately, this tour group did not intend to visit the Pyro Company's eight strongholds. Otherwise, it would be even more dangerous.
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu sometimes thought it was indeed safer to travel in the Central Plains. Therefore, with so many members of the tour group traveling together, there would usually not be any problems. Li Ran and Fang Zhi also had some confidence in not letting Zhou Yingxue interfere with their itinerary.
There was also a ten-member combat team escorting the tour group. Although these people were dressed in plain clothes, their temperament could not be hidden from Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue.
It could be seen that Li Ran did have a backer in the Wang Clan, so it was not that simple.
Along the way, if the tour group encountered any danger, the other party might very well come over to take revenge on Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue. After all, the two of them were the most unstable factors in the tour group.
When the convoy passed by Luoyang City, they did not stop. Ren Xiaosu looked at Luoyang City from afar. The stronghold did not look any different from the other strongholds in the Central Plains.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the town outside the stronghold and sighed. "A lot of people in the black market are praising the Qinghe Group. But from the looks of it, there's still a distinction between refugees and stronghold residents. The nature of the organization has not changed."
That wall was like a huge mountain that stood between the refugees and the stronghold residents.
However, Zhou Yingxue explained, "It's not like that. The reason why so many people like the Qinghe Group is actually the same reason why the people in the Northwest like Fortress 178. That's because the Qinghe Group's refugee workers are paid very well and are treated pretty well. The Qinghe Group does not suck their blood like the other consortiums. After Xu Ke took over the Qinghe Group 12 years ago, he tried to restructure the organization and remove the distinction between stronghold residents and refugees. He completely opened up the doors. "
"Then why did they close it again?" Ren Xiaosu wondered.
"It's a good idea, but the reality is that after the refugees from all over the world heard about the Qinghe Group's policies, they all rushed over to the Qinghe Group. As a result, the towns in the surrounding strongholds became empty." Zhou Yingxue explained, "This caused the Wang Clan, the Zhou Clan, and the Kong Clan to urgently send people to the Qinghe Group to negotiate with them. They hoped they wouldn't do that. Moreover, with refugees from all over the world flocking to the Qinghe Group, the Qinghe Group's strongholds couldn't handle all of them. Therefore, the Qinghe Group closed its doors again. They only improved the treatment of the refugees but limited the number of workers they could hire."
"So that's how it is." Ren Xiaosu nodded. "As expected, it's all because of their peers. As long as there's an organization that's willing to give the refugees better treatment, they'll instantly win the hearts of the people."
The convoy headed south. Unbeknownst to Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue, Xu Zhi, who had just finished resting, was on his way to the black market.
Xu Zhi's father told him that if that mysterious young man and maidservant were really big shots from the underground world, then based on their route, it was very likely that they were heading to the black market outside Luoyang City.
Therefore, Xu Zhi skipped classes and went to the black market. After waiting in the hotel lobby for more than half a month, he still found nothing. In the end, he had no choice but to return to Luoyang City.
However, he could not get that gorgeous figure out of his mind no matter what.
