Before completing the mission, Ren Xiaosu was actually most worried that the Anjing House would not buy it.
After all, even a fool could guess that it was "Zhou Yingxue" who had deliberately kidnapped Yang Lichen three days ago so others could not complete the mission.
Such an approach was a little against the rules.
But it seemed like the Anjing House did not particularly care who completed the mission or how it was completed. They only wanted one result, and that was Yang Lichen's death.
Ren Xiaosu thought it made sense. After all, the Anjing House had refused to let Zhou Yingxue complete the mission because they were worried it would affect the current protection mission.
However, since the Anjing House did not mind him snatching the mission, he would have more room to maneuver in the future.
Ren Xiaosu had Zhou Yingxue kill Yang Lichen and take a photo of it to send to the Anjing House. Zhou Yingxue curled her lips and said, "You even want to see blood? How disgusting. Why don't you just kill him, Master?"
Ren Xiaosu frowned and looked at Zhou Yingxue. "Have you forgotten that you're a hitman?!"
Zhou Yingxue smiled sheepishly and said, "It's all because you've spoiled me, Master."
After Ren Xiaosu killed Yang Lichen and took a photo of him for Zhou Yingxue, he secretly transported Yang Lichen's corpse out of the stronghold in case it appeared in the stronghold.
By now, the Zhou Clan had probably started looking for Yang Lichen. If the Zhou Clan had their guard up against the Southwest, then Yang Lichen would probably be considered a very useful person.
The next night, Li Ran held a small fan meeting. Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue stood below the stage at the venue. Like the other ten plainclothes security guards, they wore headphones and were ready to deal with any emergencies.
During the fan meeting, the host even emphasized Zhou Yingxue's identity as a supernatural being, causing the fans in the audience to gasp in surprise.
In this introduction, Zhou Yingxue seemed to have become a fan of Li Ran and came to protect Li Ran out of love …
Ren Xiaosu had to admit that these celebrities really knew how to hype themselves up.
However, after the fan meeting, the other party still ignored Zhou Yingxue's safety advice. Just as they had said, they just wanted to show off.
When the tour group set off again, Zhou Yingxue checked the supplies in the vehicles and found that they did not have any extra food or gas with them.
She suggested that they replenish their supplies in this area. However, Fang Zhi said they would arrive at a new stronghold every day, so they could refuel directly in the stronghold. The distance between each stronghold was at most 300 kilometers, so a tank of gas was definitely enough.
Zhou Yingxue did not say anything with a frown. Indeed, they could run 500 kilometers on a tank of gas. But what if there was an accident?
Fang Fang also patiently explained that he knew they might encounter an accident in the wilderness. However, there were just enough vehicles for now, and there was no place to put gas.
But when they set off again this time, there really was an accident. Someone had deliberately planted nails on the road, but several vehicles in front of the convoy had flat tires at the same time. As a result, they did not even have enough spare tires.
Fang Zhi thought about it for a while before deciding to send someone to Stronghold 78 to seek help. He wanted to get the rescue team from the stronghold to come over and change the tires. The price was negotiable.
Li Ran said hatefully from the stationary minivan, "Why didn't the Zhou Clan manage the wilderness properly? Someone must've planted the nails on purpose."
"It's not easy to manage the wilderness since it's so big." Fang Zhi said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter. We're only about 100 kilometers away from Stronghold 78, so the rescue team will definitely arrive soon."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Fang Zhi saw Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue had already started setting up their tents.
Li Ran was stunned. "Why are y 'all setting up tents?"
"Oh." Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "I think the rescue team might not be able to make it today, so we decided to set up camp nearby."
"Why can't they make it?" Li Ran said angrily, "Stronghold 78 isn't that far. Even if the roads aren't good, we can still get there in three or four hours by car!"
Ren Xiaosu smiled and did not say anything. That was because he knew the efficiency of the stronghold too well. This was not Li Ran's home turf, so the Wang Clan's stronghold, so the rescue team would definitely not be able to get there that quickly.
It was already evening. It would take about three or four hours to get here and another three or four hours to get back. Including the time needed to repair the vehicles, it would be late into the night by then.
So based on the stronghold's rescue team's behavior, they would definitely prefer to wake up tomorrow morning before setting off.
However, Ren Xiaosu was quite familiar with the act of planting nails.
In the early years, when the wilderness in the Southwest and Northwest was still not dangerous, some refugees would specifically deal with caravans in this manner. They would set up the caravans' vehicles and sell their old tires at night.
This was basically a roaming crime, and a group of people relied on this to get rich.
Later, as the wilderness became dangerous, this group of people disappeared.
Of course, this did not mean that the people who did the dirty work today were the ones Ren Xiaosu knew. Ren Xiaosu guessed that since there were caravans traveling freely in the Central Plains, there must be quite a number of people who did such things.
The members of the tour group did not trust Ren Xiaosu. They felt that as long as they reported their names, the rescue team would definitely rush over immediately. After all, this had always been the case in the Wang Clan's stronghold.
However, they waited until past 10 PM. Six hours had passed, but they still did not see any signs of the rescue team.
The members of the tour group just sat in their vehicles. As every stop was in the stronghold, they did not even bring enough supplies for the journey. After all, they would be able to arrive at the stronghold in time every day. They could eat and drink well in the stronghold, so they did not have to worry about what to do during the journey.
At this moment, Li Ran gritted her teeth and looked at Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue. She saw the two of them sitting by a campfire not far away, eating and drinking. There were also two tents that they could sneak into and sleep in at any time.
Li Ran asked Fang Zhi, "Did we bring any tents?"
"No." Fang Zhi shook his head. "According to the plan, we'll be arriving at Stronghold 78 by tonight. There's no need for us to stay in the wilderness for a single day. Why don't I go talk to them and get them to vacate one of our tents? "
"No need." Li Ran said coldly, "I'll just sleep in the vehicle."
Her minivan was quite comfortable. Even the soft seats could be flattened and turned into beds.
It was late autumn, so it was still very cold at night. The lowest temperature was 2 ° C. Therefore, all of the vehicles had their heaters turned on.
After a while, Zhou Yingxue got up when she saw that the people in the vehicles had fallen asleep.
Ren Xiaosu asked, "What are you doing?"
"Master, you'll know in a while," Zhou Yingxue said.
With a smile, Zhou Yingxue walked to the side of the vehicle and knocked on Li Ran's window. Li Ran opened her eyes sleepily. Zhou Yingxue said, "Do you feel dizzy and a little nauseous?"
Li Ran immediately sobered up a little. "What did you do to me?!"
Zhou Yingxue smiled and said, "It's not that I did anything to you, but you shouldn't turn on the heater when the vehicle is idling. You're already suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. Hurry up and get out of the vehicle."
