Ren Xiaosu was not casually suspecting the woman in the black cap. It was just that her appearance was too coincidental. He had just caught two paper cranes when she came to Stronghold 61. This forced Ren Xiaosu to think in that direction.
He had left Stronghold 61 in a hurry because he felt a little guilty. After all, he had caught the other party's paper cranes for no reason, so it would be normal for them to come and question him.
But Wang Ergou actually said that the other party's power was to control sand?
This forced Ren Xiaosu to think more about it.
While Ren Xiaosu and Wang Ergou were chatting, the entire tour group looked at one another, unsure of what was going on.
Why did they run into acquaintances out in the wilderness?
Li Ran wanted to get up and go over to listen to what they were talking about, but the ten plainclothes soldiers stopped her. "You can't go over there. These people are clearly outlaws who have taken lives. Even we can't do anything to them."
"Aren't you the elites of the military?" Li Ran said with a frown.
The plainclothes soldiers said awkwardly, "But they have heavy machine guns, while we only have pistols."
Zhou Yingxue laughed from behind and said, "With the current range, a heavy machine gun can turn all the vehicles into sieves in ten seconds. But don't worry, with us here, nothing will happen."
Zhou Yingxue could tell that these hardcore repair crews were on good terms with Ren Xiaosu. Since they would not be able to fight them, she quickly seized the opportunity to brag.
Wang Ergou and Ren Xiaosu were talking as they returned to the convoy. Wang Ergou said to the others with a smile, "Since we bumped into Ren Xiaosu here, I'll take back the price I offered earlier. We'll repair this vehicle for you all for free."
Li Ran wondered, "Does Ren Xiaosu have such a big influence?"
"Haha." Wang Ergou laughed. "Back then, we got lost in the wilderness after a heavy snowfall sealed off the mountains. It was Ren Xiaosu who led us back to town to find something to eat. You can say that he saved our lives."
At that time, Wang Ergou and the others hadn't taken things so seriously. They didn't have heavy machine guns, and they weren't skilled in committing crimes. They weren't crippled either.
But after that, Ren Xiaosu rarely saw Wang Ergou and the others. This group of people seemed to have gone to the vicinity of the Yang Clan's stronghold to be bandits for a while before disappearing.
Hence, Ren Xiaosu did not expect that he would actually come to the Chinese server and take up his old trade.
Wang Ergou asked curiously, "But Xiaosu, why did you come to the Central Plains, and why are you with them?"
"Oh, I accepted a mission to protect them during their tour," Ren Xiaosu explained.
Wang Ergou looked at Li Ran. "You guys sure are lucky to have found Ren Xiaosu. There's nothing in the wilderness that he can't solve. If you head south, where will you end up?"
"All the way to Stronghold 81, I guess." Ren Xiaosu recalled the route they had taken.
"It's not particularly peaceful in the south. Back when the Wang Clan was dealing with the Zhou Clan, a lot of refugees moved into the mountains and even received financial support from the Wang Clan. That's why there's a lot of chaos. But if you mention my name, Wang Ergou, it'll usually work." Then Wang Ergou turned around and called out, "Two of you, bring a jack and patch up the tires."
Actually, patching up the tires was not a particularly difficult task, and it did not cost much either. Therefore, Wang Ergou decided to waive the cost on account of Ren Xiaosu.
The men in the convoy greeted Ren Xiaosu. It looked like they had a good impression of Ren Xiaosu. After all, Ren Xiaosu was the one who saved them back then.
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Are you referring to the fact that the roads aren't peaceful because someone went into the mountains to become a bandit? Surely that can't be. "
"No, no, no." Wang Ergou smiled and said, "If they were bandits, the Zhou Clan would have come to encircle them. It's when someone cuts down a tree and places it on the road. If you pay them, they'll help you carry the tree away. Or if they lie in front of your car and try to scam you, you'll have to run over them if you don't want to pay them. Most of the people who can drive on the roads are stronghold residents. Those people have never seen blood before, so they won't dare to run over people. It's very easy to bluff them. "
While Wang Ergou's men were repairing the vehicles, Wang Ergou kept asking Ren Xiaosu about the situation in the Southwest. The plainclothes soldiers next to him really wanted to take this opportunity to detain Wang Ergou and show off in front of Li Ran. However, they realized the heavy machine gun in the distance was still pointed at them.
The heavy machine gun did not care about anyone else and just stared at the plainclothes soldiers. It looked like the other party had already recognized them as soldiers and knew they were the greatest threat.
At this moment, Wang Ergou sighed and said, "I didn't expect the Southwest to have changed so much. The Li Consortium and the Yang Clan are no more. Why can't I, Wang Ergou, do better in this organization."
Zhou Yingxue burst into laughter. Wang Ergou looked at Zhou Yingxue and said, "You're Brother Xiaosu's woman, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Ren Xiaosu stopped Wang Ergou. What the hell was this fucking matchmaking?
Zhou Yingxue said calmly, "He's my assistant."
Wang Ergou smiled. "Of course not. I'm very observant. There's something fishy going on between the two of you. Who knows which one of you listens to in private?"
Zhou Yingxue rolled her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Then what do you think your Brother Xiaosu has to do with that female celebrity?"
"Don't worry, my brother won't be interested in someone like that." Wang Ergou chuckled.
Zhou Yingxue beamed with joy.
One of the brothers next to them shouted, "Ergou, the car's been fixed."
Wang Ergou patted Ren Xiaosu on the shoulder and said, "We'll be leaving then. Take care. The next time we see each other, we'll definitely have a drink or two."
Ren Xiaosu smiled and nodded. He did not say that he did not drink. There was no need to be in a hurry to reject an old friend's kind intentions.
After the car repairmen left, the plainclothes soldier said to Li Ran, "Should we ask General Wang for permission to encircle and annihilate them?"
Li Ran glanced at them. "There were only 16 or 17 of them just now. You're all soldiers, so why didn't you mention anything about encircling them? Besides, this is the Zhou Clan's territory. How are we supposed to encircle and annihilate them? "
"We can just get someone to do it in secret. It's very easy to deal with riffraff like them." The plainclothes soldier said in hindsight, "Besides, we'll have to be on our guard against this Ren Xiaosu. After all, there's definitely something wrong with someone who can be considered a brother of a riffraff like him."
However, Li Ran did not respond to him. Instead, she said, "As long as it can solve the problem."
To be honest, when Li Ran saw the heavy machine gun, she was a little afraid. After all, the other party had heavy firepower and was also someone who lived on the edge of a knife in the wilderness. It would be strange if she was not afraid.
But for some reason, her fear subsided the moment Ren Xiaosu stood up.
After Li Ran got into the car, she said to Fang Zhi, "Pay Ren Xiaosu 200,000 yuan to thank him for helping us out."
Fang Zhi was stunned. "Even if we fixed the car at that price, it shouldn't have cost that much, right?"
Li Ran glanced at him. "I'm happy to do it!"
