"Why are we going to the Southwest?" Yang Xiaojin asked.
"It's been confirmed that the Kyung Clan really does have nuclear weapons. We couldn't find their nuclear test site before, so we have to eliminate this hidden danger now." The girl in the black cap said, "This time, we have to find some clues. Come with me. The other members of the Saboteurs don't know as much about the Southwest as you do."
With that, Yang Xiaojin's aunt planned to turn around and leave with Yang Xiaojin. But to her surprise, Yang Xiaojin did not leave with her this time. Instead, she stood there in silence.
"What's wrong? Have you forgotten our beliefs?" her aunt asked.
"I haven't forgotten. It's just that I have more important things to do," Yang Xiaojin said in a low voice.
There were people coming and going at the school entrance, but the two of them seemed to be isolated from this bustling and noisy world. It was as if they did not belong to this peaceful world.
Her aunt looked at Yang Xiaojin. "What else is more important than beliefs?"
Yang Xiaojin did not answer this question. Instead, she asked, "Is there any news of Ren Xiaosu?"
Actually, this was also a kind of answer. Yang Xiaojin looked at her aunt. She had always been domineering. Otherwise, she would not have parted ways with the Yang Clan.
Her aunt's original name was Yang Anjing. She even felt that her name was too weak, so she changed her name to Yang Anjing.
Yang Xiaojin looked up into her aunt's eyes. After a second of silence, she calmly replied, "No."
"I'm going to look for him. When I find him, I'll meet you in the Southwest, Aunt," Yang Xiaojin said.
Yang Anjing smiled. "You said you saw him get pierced in the abdomen by a spear with your own eyes. Then you should know how low the chances of survival are for someone who gets pierced in the abdomen and gets swept into the flood. If it were you, would you have survived?"
"I wouldn't have survived." Yang Xiaojin shook her head. "But he could."
"He's just a boy who hasn't grown up yet. Maybe he said something that made you happy, and you'll always remember it. But there's no such thing as a firm and loyal relationship in this world. If he's still alive, he must have found someone else."
"He won't," Yang Xiaojin said with certainty, "He's the same as everyone else in this world, unique."
Yang Anjing fell silent.
Yang Xiaojin stubbornly said, "I'm sorry, Auntie. I can't go to the southwest yet. I have to go find him. In the past, I also thought that I could study here quietly and not pay attention to the outside world until I forgot about him. But today, I felt like he was right beside me. It was only at this moment that I realized I couldn't forget him. "
"Do you know where to find him?" Yang Anjing asked.
"I don't know." Yang Xiaojin shook her head.
"Then how do you find him?" Yang Anjing asked again.
"With my whole life."
…
When Ren Xiaosu was about to leave with Zhou Yingxue, he was greeted by Old Li and Qin Sheng. The moment they met, Old Li reached out to touch Ren Xiaosu's hair to see if it was a wig.
Ren Xiaosu looked speechlessly at Old Li who was pulling his hair. "What are you doing?"
"Oh." Old Li said, "Your hair is pretty good. How do you take care of it?"
"Take care of what?" Ren Xiaosu did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Did the two of you come here for this?"
Old Li changed the topic and asked, "How long are you planning to stay in Luoyang City? As the hosts, we should at least entertain you. Do you want us to show you around?"
"There's no need." Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "We're planning to leave now. There's still some things we need to do."
At this moment, the message he had given to Jiang Xu of Hope Media had already been published in the newspapers. Ren Xiaosu wanted to return to Stronghold 61 as soon as possible to wait for Wang Fugui's arrival.
When Old Li heard that Ren Xiaosu was leaving, he said, "Then we'll send you off and arrange a car for you. What are your plans for the future? We're already on such good terms, so if I want to talk to you, there has to be somewhere I can go, right?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment. There was no need to hide his whereabouts from Old Li. He also intended to make friends with the Knight Organization. "I'm going to make a trip to the black market outside Luoyang City first before heading straight to Stronghold 61."
"Mhm." Old Li quickly nodded. "Alright, got it."
At this moment, Qin Sheng, who was next to him, suddenly said, "Brother Xiaosu, you've probably heard about our Knight Organization, right?"
Qin Sheng was the same age as Ren Xiaosu, so he addressed him as "Brother Xiaosu" in order to make it more cordial.
"In what way?" Ren Xiaosu wondered.
"We're looking for someone." Qin Sheng explained, "The Knight Organization has been looking for him for a long time. His name is Ren Xiaobei, and it's only a single word different from your name, Brother Xiaosu."
"What a coincidence." Ren Xiaosu's heart skipped a beat. "Why? Do you want me to help y 'all find him? What are his characteristics? If I see him, I'll definitely let y' all know."
Old Li scrutinized Ren Xiaosu's expression seriously. "We don't know about his other characteristics, but we know that he's quite handsome."
For some reason, Old Li felt that Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Ren Xiaosu said, "If we encounter this person called Ren Xiaobei, I'll definitely let y 'all know."
Actually, at some point, Ren Xiaosu was also wondering if the person the Knight Organization and the Qinghe Group were looking for was him. And not Yan Liuyuan?
However, Ren Xiaosu hoped even more that neither of them were. That was because a lot of people knew this person had come out of the Pyro Company's laboratory. Even if he were still alive, he would be over 200 years old. Wouldn't he be seen as a monster by others?
But this Ren Xiaobei only had a single word difference from his name, and Yan Liuyuan addressed him as "Brother" with certainty. Ren Xiaosu could not figure out the complicated matters that had occurred in between.
It was too confusing, so Ren Xiaosu decided not to think about it for now.
As they chatted, they arrived at the stronghold's entrance. Old Li said, "Then we'll see you off here. Take care."
After the two parties bid farewell, Zhou Yingxue drove the off-road vehicle that Old Li and the others had given her to the black market. On the way there, Zhou Yingxue suddenly asked, "Master, could the person they're looking for be you?"
Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "No, they said that Ren Xiaobei looks quite handsome. How could it be me when I'm so handsome?"
Zhou Yingxue was speechless.
So you suddenly heaved a sigh of relief just now because you heard that Ren Xiaobei looked quite handsome? And then you felt that it was definitely not you?
As Zhou Yingxue drove, she felt like she could not breathe for a long time.
However, Zhou Yingxue suddenly realized Ren Xiaosu seemed to have something on his mind ever since they parted ways with Old Li and Qin Sheng, so she did not say anything more.
Ren Xiaosu looked out the window. No one knew what he was thinking.
The two of them did not go straight to Stronghold 61. Instead, they went to the black market to launder the money they had received from the Anjing House before setting off again.
