After leaving Stronghold 73, Ren Xiaosu no longer cared about what else would happen in the stronghold. While he was on his way to meet up with the maidservant, the Anjing House was still issuing some missions targeting the Pyro Company through text messages. From this, it seemed the battle in Stronghold 73 had not ended with the cave-in of East Lake.
However, the Anjing House did not send any more text messages regarding Stronghold 73 after two days. Ren Xiaosu guessed the battle was over, and both the Anjing House and the Pyro Company would withdraw from Stronghold 73.
As for whether there was any laboratory information there, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt there should be.
That was because he had not seen anyone from the Knight Organization since the start of the chaotic battle.
These people were here to look for the laboratory. Now that they had disappeared during the chaotic battle, it was most likely they had gone to look for the real laboratory.
Moreover, Ren Xiaosu felt the Knight Organization and the Pyro Company only had the same goal, but they did not really have a tacit understanding. If there were no laboratory here, the Pyro Company would not have been able to call the Knight Organization over.
So while the Pyro Company was fighting tooth and nail to scheme against the Anjing House, the Knight Organization's people went straight to the laboratory? This was probably one of the Pyro Company's plans as well.
Ren Xiaosu had brought along the corpse of a Pyro Company member in his storage space. He was planning to give it to Zhou Yingxue to complete her mission. The two of them were discussing how to pose the corpse to make it look more presentable.
But at this moment, the Anjing House sent a text message informing them, "Due to a special person deliberately breaking the rules, the previous rule of having to kill members of the Pyro Company to participate in next year's trials has been canceled. The criteria for A-rank hitmen to complete five missions within a year will still apply."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. He had fucking gone to great lengths to help Zhou Yingxue eliminate the other A-rank hitmen, but a text message from the Anjing House made his efforts go to waste?!
Ren Xiaosu was a little angry. How could such a large organization not even have the most basic credibility?!
When Zhou Yingxue saw the text, she suddenly looked up at Ren Xiaosu. "Master, what exactly did you do in Stronghold 73?"
In a split second, Zhou Yingxue realized that the "rule-breaker" mentioned in the message must be her master and not someone else!
Ren Xiaosu's face darkened. "Am I that kind of person in your eyes?"
"Yes, you are!" Zhou Yingxue said confidently.
Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
This time, Ren Xiaosu had really gone overboard. The Anjing House had clearly dispatched more than 30 A-rank hitmen. Excluding the 11 who had died, there were still 26 of them left.
However, out of these twenty-six people, only two of them had obtained the qualifications to participate in next year's selection.
If there had been more than five of them, the Anjing House would not have canceled that rule. However, they had been forced by Ren Xiaosu to take back their rule. The Anjing House did not want to do that either!
When Ren Xiaosu returned to the hotel, he seemed to have been spotted by the members of the tour group. So the moment he returned to the hotel, Li Ran came over to look for Zhou Yingxue. She dragged Zhou Yingxue along and chatted with her for two hours before leaving. Zhou Yingxue nearly broke down from chatting with them.
Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "It looks like your relationship has improved a lot while I was away."
Zhou Yingxue rolled her eyes. "They're clearly here to see you, Master."
"Oh right." Ren Xiaosu took out a bunch of cell phones and said, "These cell phones have all completed missions. There should be one or two rewards for killing the Pyro Company's members on each of these cell phones. Let's see how much money there is."
Zhou Yingxue stared blankly at the 20-odd cell phones in front of her. She could roughly understand why the Anjing House had canceled the rule. "Master, didn't they say only 40 people from the Pyro Company went there in total? How come there are more than 20 of them here?"
"It's more than 40." Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "I feel that more than 80 people from the Pyro Company went there. The Anjing House's intel was wrong." Ren Xiaosu told Zhou Yingxue everything that had happened. Only then did Zhou Yingxue realize how dangerous her master's trip to Stronghold 73 had been.
"Fortunately, Master, you didn't go into the tunnel." Zhou Yingxue rejoiced, "But the Pyro Company and the Anjing House are not easy to deal with. I just hope they won't implicate us the next time they fight."
Zhou Yingxue picked up the cell phones Ren Xiaosu had given her one by one and tabulated the rewards. "There's a total of 15 Midnight teams and six Dusk teams. Originally, it was planned to be 150,000 yuan for each Midnight team and 500,000 yuan for each Dusk team. But the Anjing House later doubled the price at the last minute, so it's now 10.5 million yuan."
After saying that, Zhou Yingxue beamed with joy. As a matter of fact, more than two million yuan of the 10.5 million yuan was hers. She could get paid just by lying down in the hotel and doing nothing. Where else in the world could she find such a good master?
"The Anjing House will definitely realize there's something wrong with these cell phones. After all, even the A-rank hitmen haven't been able to kill many of the Pyro Company's members. Yet this group of B-rank and C-rank hitmen seem to have the help of God, so there's definitely something fishy going on." Ren Xiaosu asked, "I think these accounts are probably being monitored as well. How can we safely transfer the money out?"
Zhou Yingxue explained, "That's not a difficult task. The simplest and most brutal way is to go to the casino in Luoyang City. You can directly transfer the money to an anonymous account and use the password. The casino will then exchange the money for chips. After that, you can transfer the chips to a new account or just bring the chips with you. This casino should be owned by the Qinghe Group, so it's very secretive. Although there's a processing fee, it's worth it. "
Ren Xiaosu frowned. "Even if it's the Qinghe Group, we can't completely trust them. Word of mouth is one thing, but we don't know what's really going on."
"I don't think so." Zhou Yingxue shook her head. "Previously, the various consortiums pressured the casino to freeze some of the accounts. In the end, the casino did not listen to any of the consortiums and only listened to the Qinghe Group."
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Ren Xiaosu said, "Let's write down the passwords of these accounts first and delete the text messages. Then we'll find an opportunity to sell these cell phones. That'll earn us another sum of money."
"We can sell them at the local black market. If we sell them in batches across the various strongholds, we won't have to release too many at once to lower the price." Zhou Yingxue fully played her supporting role. Ren Xiaosu did not know much about the Central Plains. Therefore, with a former intelligence agent like Zhou Yingxue by his side, he could learn more.
"Where's our next stop?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"We'll be setting off for Stronghold 74 tomorrow to hold a concert. We'll stay there for four days before heading to Stronghold 73 to hold a concert. Li Ran still has to attend an audition there," Zhou Yingxue said.
When Ren Xiaosu heard about Stronghold 73, he was speechless. Did he have a bone to pick with Stronghold 73? This was going to be his third trip there.
Hopefully, the storm at Stronghold 73 would have completely subsided by the time they arrived.
