The reason why the Anjing House did not allow Zhou Yingxue to take on the mission was also very simple.
On one hand, it was because Zhou Yingxue was currently carrying out a protection mission. Although the target of the mission was in Stronghold 77, carrying out a new mission would definitely affect her current protection mission.
If Zhou Yingxue got injured or died while carrying out the new mission, it would affect the Anjing House's reputation a little.
On the other hand, it was because Zhou Yingxue was alone and had not found any teammates to work with in the black market. Meanwhile, there were already people setting off from the black market. They were three A-rank hitmen, so it would be much safer for them to carry out the mission than Zhou Yingxue.
It was not that a single person could not take on the mission, but that it would be very difficult for a single person to snatch the mission when there was a more suitable team to take on the mission.
Zhou Yingxue was a little angry. "We're clearly the closest to the mission, so why aren't we allowed to take on this mission? Besides, that Li Ran doesn't even want us to protect her. Unless she attends an event, she won't even let me get close to her. In such a situation, I have plenty of time to take on other missions. "
Actually, she also understood that the Anjing House's decision was the right one. After all, the other party did not know that she had the terrifying Ren Xiaosu by her side. Therefore, logically speaking, Zhou Yingxue would indeed be busy at the moment. Meanwhile, Yang Lichen clearly had a small group of armed forces by his side, and he was even under the protection of the Zhou Clan.
After Yang Lichen left the Southwest and came to the Zhou Clan, he was immediately protected by the Zhou Clan and provided with good food and drinks because he was very familiar with the geography and politics of the Southwest.
An organization like the consortium would definitely not let go of an opportunity to get first-hand information.
"Master, what should we do now?" Zhou Yingxue asked, "We won't be able to complete the mission now. Besides, if they don't let me take on the mission during the protection period, I definitely won't be able to complete the remaining two missions."
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "I'll go out for a while."
That night, Li Ran came over to Zhou Yingxue's place to explain what had happened during the day. She told her that a public figure like her could not let go of an opportunity to establish a good image, so she asked her not to take it to heart.
However, Li Ran still made it clear that there was no need for Zhou Yingxue to deliberately protect her in the future. She just needed to put on a good show.
Although the content of her words was unpleasant, Zhou Yingxue was a little puzzled. Why would Li Ran personally explain such a thing to her?
However, after Li Ran finished explaining, she asked, "Where did Ren Xiaosu go?"
"Oh, he's still scouting outside," Zhou Yingxue explained.
At this moment, Zhou Yingxue realized that the other party was here to look for Ren Xiaosu. Moreover, he did not look for Ren Xiaosu directly. Instead, he was testing him in a roundabout way.
After Li Ran left, Ren Xiaosu suddenly jumped in through the window with a person on his shoulder. The person on his shoulder was already unconscious.
Zhou Yingxue said in a daze, "Master, who's that?"
"Yang Lichen," Ren Xiaosu said calmly.
"But we didn't accept the mission, so it's useless even if we killed him," Zhou Yingxue said helplessly.
Ren Xiaosu remained calm. "It's fine. Since the Anjing House got the other hitmen to accept the mission, they'll naturally fail the mission if they can't find the target. Don't worry, the people who saw me are all dead. This ambush was a great success, and no one knows where Yang Lichen went."
Zhou Yingxue was dumbfounded. Why did her master's train of thought work so differently from others? Why did he have to be so hardcore when it came to snatching missions?
As long as the other hitmen could not find the target, wouldn't the Anjing House have no choice but to let her carry out the mission if Zhou Yingxue said she could find it?
This was like walking on someone else's path and leaving them with nowhere else to go.
Furthermore, Ren Xiaosu explained, "If these three A-rank hitmen can't complete the mission, they definitely won't be able to participate in next year's Anjing House trials. So you'll have three fewer opponents to deal with. This is killing two birds with one stone."
Zhou Yingxue facepalmed. She suddenly started worrying about the A-rank hitmen who were going to compete with her for the Anjing House's spots. It was really unfortunate for these hitmen to encounter an opponent like her master.
She tied Yang Lichen up and even stuffed a towel into his mouth before stuffing him into the wardrobe in the hotel room. She said worriedly, "We can't keep having someone like him in the room. What if he wakes up and struggles? There's someone cleaning the hotel every day."
"Just put up a 'Do Not Disturb' sign and don't let him wake up." Ren Xiaosu said, "Let's wait and see. Stronghold 77 is very close to the black market, so I'm guessing those three A-rank hitmen have already arrived outside the stronghold. We only need to wait for another three days before we can ask the Anjing House for a mission. "
Zhou Yingxue stretched lazily. She suddenly felt it was a very wise decision for her to stay behind and continue following Ren Xiaosu. There was really nothing that couldn't be done by following a master like him.
Everyone else would accept a mission, but only Ren Xiaosu would directly ask the Anjing House for a mission.
Of course, if it were not for such a weird way of thinking, he would not be thinking of fishing in the hands of D-rank and C-rank hitmen every day.
She got up and walked to the bathroom. Ren Xiaosu frowned. "What are you doing?"
"I'm taking a shower." Zhou Yingxue smiled and said, "Master, do you want to join us?"
"Get lost!"
"OK!"
…
The next day, the three A-rank hitmen frantically searched for Yang Lichen's whereabouts in the stronghold. In the end, only a few corpses of the security guards were found in the residential area that the Anjing House had sent them. Yang Lichen was nowhere to be found.
They asked the Anjing House if there was a mistake in the intelligence report or if the mission had been sent to someone else and was taken over by them. However, the Anjing House's reply was that their team was the only one carrying out the mission, and the mission had not been sent to anyone else.
The three A-rank hitmen had no choice but to use their connections in the Zhou Clan to secretly investigate witnesses and obtain surveillance footage of some of the transportation hubs. However, they found nothing.
The A-rank hitmen were on the verge of breaking down. Honestly, this was the first time they had encountered something like this. They could not even find the target of the mission.
Not only could they not find him, but even the Anjing House could not find him.
Three days later, Zhou Yingxue suddenly sent a photo to the Anjing House. In the photo, Yang Lichen was unconscious. He had only drunk a few mouthfuls of water in the past three days before being knocked unconscious again. He had lost a lot of weight.
Zhou Yingxue texted, "Yang Lichen is in my hands. Please send me the mission quickly."
After sending the text, Zhou Yingxue pondered, "Master, why do we seem like kidnappers?"
"It's not a big problem." Ren Xiaosu waved it off. "But do you think the Anjing House will issue the mission? After all, snatching the mission by force is a little too much."
Zhou Yingxue looked at Ren Xiaosu in shock. 'Master, you also know it's a little too much to do this, right?! Actually, you've known all along, right?! '
At this moment, the Anjing House replied, "You can claim the mission reward after killing him."
Zhou Yingxue beamed with joy. It was a success!
