The convoy arrived at the Zhou Clan's Stronghold 77, which was the closest stronghold to Luoyang City, in the afternoon. This was the outermost stronghold of the Zhou Clan, while Stronghold 73, where Ren Xiaosu and the others had previously done their missions, was the core of the Zhou Clan's consortium.
When they arrived at Stronghold 77, Fang Zhi showed the customs clearance documents to the garrison troops. Ren Xiaosu realized these people seemed to be very familiar with the tour as they had already prepared all the formalities in advance.
But before entering the stronghold, the tour group was brought into the stronghold and underwent a detailed security check before they were allowed to go through.
Zhou Yingxue whispered, "We didn't have to go through these steps when we joined the Zhou Clan in the past."
Ren Xiaosu nodded. The entire Zhou Clan had probably raised their security level due to Zhou Xilong's death. This was to prevent anyone from entering the stronghold and causing trouble.
During the security check, some of the staff even asked for Li Ran's autograph. Ren Xiaosu asked curiously, "Is this Li Ran very famous? Why does even the Zhou Clan know about her? "
Zhou Yingxue nearly laughed out loud. "Master, aren't you a little too outdated? She's a popular female singer now, and her cassette tapes have already been sold all the way to the south. Although this is her first time here, many people have heard of her songs. Even the music stores in the Yang Clan's stronghold used to sell her cassette tapes. A lot of young people like her. Master, aren't you a young person too? "
"So that's how it is." Ren Xiaosu suddenly understood. He explained, "I didn't pay much attention to these things in the past."
After all, how could people who had to worry about their survival have the time to pay attention to these celebrities? In his memory, Sister Xiaoyu seemed to have found a female singer she liked later on. There was even a cassette of that female singer at home, but Sister Xiaoyu only listened to the other party's songs.
It was very difficult for people like them to worship such an illusory "idol."
After entering the stronghold, Ren Xiaosu discovered many stronghold residents had already gathered by the roadside. They were holding up homemade signs with small, shiny light bulbs on them.
Ren Xiaosu sighed, "Why are there so many people? Are there really so many people who like her?"
Zhou Yingxue glanced at Ren Xiaosu. She realized that her master was more annoyed with Li Ran than she was. This was something that Zhou Yingxue was very happy to see.
At this moment, Zhou Yingxue realized the tour convoy was deliberately slowing down as they passed through the road. Meanwhile, Li Ran wound down the car window and waved at the fans warmly. She even took the fans' autographs and gave them autographs.
Zhou Yingxue said through the car's walkie-talkie, "Please pass as soon as possible. There are too many people here and there may be hidden dangers. Please pass as soon as possible."
As a result, the voice of assistant Fang Zhi sounded in the walkie-talkie: "This is a good opportunity for Ranran to get close to her fans, which is of great help to her friendly image, so we can't pass as soon as possible. Please follow at a constant speed, and Miss Zhou, please don't interfere too much."
Zhou Yingxue rolled her eyes in the car. "What a terrible sense of safety. If someone were to hide a knife in a place like this and suddenly stab her, even the gods wouldn't be able to stop it in time."
Ren Xiaosu leaned back in the front passenger seat and said leisurely, "Who cares so much?"
"If something happens to her, I'll have failed my mission," Zhou Yingxue lamented.
But at this moment, Ren Xiaosu glanced at his cell phone and said, "I'm going out for a while. I'll return to the hotel tonight. You handle it for now."
Zhou Yingxue looked at Ren Xiaosu in shock. "Master, you're going on a solo mission again? Why do you keep leaving me behind? I beg of you, can you let those D and C-rank hitmen off? I get a little flustered when I'm alone. "
Ren Xiaosu glanced at her. "Just handle things here. I'll give you 20% of the profits from selling the cell phones."
Zhou Yingxue immediately put on a smile. "Master, I wish you success in your mission."
With that, Ren Xiaosu opened the door and jumped out of the car while it was moving. He blended into the crowd.
However, Li Ran still noticed his actions from the corner of her eye. She turned around and frowned at Fang Zhi. "Why did that kid act on his own? Ask Zhou Yingxue."
However, Zhou Yingxue's reply was that to ensure Li Ran's safety, Ren Xiaosu had been sent out to investigate the matter.
Li Ran told Ren Xiaosu to come back and stay by her side. However, Zhou Yingxue said Zhou Yingxue was the one who took on the mission, and that Ren Xiaosu was not included.
This time, Li Ran was also helpless. She suddenly realized she did not seem to have a good way to restrain Ren Xiaosu.
Meanwhile, what Zhou Yingxue was thinking was that the D-rank and C-rank hitmen were the cornerstones of the Anjing House's missions. Many of the minor characters had to rely on the D-rank and C-rank hitmen to carry out their missions.
Their tour group would have to pass through 37 strongholds, including 90% of the Zhou Clan's and Kong Clan's strongholds. By the time they got there, would the Anjing House's many years of operations in the Zhou Clan and Kong Clan be wiped out by Ren Xiaosu?
Based on his master's fishing techniques, this was very likely to happen. If they joined the Anjing House at that time, the Anjing House would probably issue a mission for all the A-rank hitmen to hunt down the two of them if they found out something was up.
After all, some observant people from the Anjing House would notice that the disappearance of the D-rank and C-rank hitmen was exactly the same as their tour group. It would be fine if it was only one or two strongholds. But if it was all 37 strongholds, even a fool would know there was something wrong with her, Zhou Yingxue.
This wouldn't do! She had to talk to Ren Xiaosu about this. They had to take the path of sustainable development.
But this time, there was no shooting incident like the last time. Ren Xiaosu silently took care of both the hitmen and the target.
When they returned to the hotel in the evening, Ren Xiaosu already had seven or eight cell phones in his hands. But before he could rejoice, Zhou Yingxue received another text message on her cell phone. Furthermore, there were three of them at once.
Ren Xiaosu took a look at the three missions. Two of them were too far away and were in the Kong Clan's stronghold. But the third one made his eyes light up. "Target: Yang Lichen, a former core member of the Yang Clan, located at 121 Zhengwu Road in Stronghold 77. The target has followers with him, so it is recommended that you form a team of up to three people. The reward is 800,000 yuan. "
Following that, there were also photos of Yang Lichen and some information about him, including some of the things he had done to the people while he was managing the stronghold.
However, there were still some things that were not mentioned. For example, Yang Lichen had once sent someone to deliver a defensive deployment map to Qing Zhen and tricked the Yang Clan troops at the front line in Ziyang.
In the end, he did not manage to become the Yang Clan's patriarch. After all, the Yang Clan's organization no longer existed. He could only take advantage of the time when the Kyung Clan was mobilizing their troops south to deal with the Experimentals to escape.
And to everyone's surprise, he actually managed to escape.
Ren Xiaosu said, "Reply to the Anjing House that we'll accept this mission."
Zhou Yingxue did as she was told. But to their surprise, the Anjing House did not approve their mission application. Instead, they rejected Zhou Yingxue!
