Qin Sheng thought to himself that with so many people around, they couldn't possibly be working together to put on an act again, right? When Old Wang came to Stronghold 61 with the army, he was watching from town. As Qin Sheng listened from the side, he could roughly guess that Wang Fugui had just returned from Stronghold 178 with a lot of goods.
These goods could not be faked. If they were to pair up so many goods for a lie, the cost of the lie would be too high.
At this moment, Big Bluff asked Ren Xiaosu, "I heard you went into the stronghold to rescue someone? Do you know how the creeper vine died? Can you tell me? "
Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "I don't know. As soon as I went in, Zhou Yingxue's head was clamped by the creeper vine's tentacles and she fainted. After that, I quickly took her and went into hiding."
When Ren Xiaosu said he did not know what happened in the stronghold, Big Bluff cursed in his head. 'Like hell I'll believe you! With your temper, it's already good enough that you didn't uproot the creeper vine, so how could you possibly ignore it?'
Big Bluff retorted, "You even went into hiding? Do you think you're that kind of person? "
Ren Xiaosu turned to look at Wang Fugui. "Ignore him. Old Wang, continue talking about your matter."
Old Wang sighed. "After we were washed away by the flood, Ms. Jiang found an opportunity to bring us ashore along the way. Later on, we lived with the refugees in the mountains for a while, but we really couldn't stand living in isolation anymore. So we thought of using the money and medicine you left behind to start a business. That way, we wouldn't be empty-handed when we see you in the future."
Old Wang continued, "As for me, I went to the Wang Clan's stronghold to import some goods that weren't available in the Northwest and brought them to the Northwest. But on the first day I arrived, I ran into Zhang Xiaoman. When I found out you were still alive, I immediately wanted to return to the Central Plains. But he said he had a way to find you …. "
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. "What method?"
"Uh." Old Wang glanced at Ren Xiaosu and hesitated for a moment before saying, "He said that he'll send people to look for you wherever something happens in the stronghold. But it seems like they couldn't find you after sending people to Stronghold 74. Zhang Xiaoman said that it was Xu Xianchu's idea … "
Next to him, Big Bluff said, "I was the person Wang Fengyuan sent to Stronghold 74. Xu Xianchu's guess was right. I even found out that he was at Stronghold 74 at that time. And look, Stronghold 61 has also been reduced to such a state …."
Ren Xiaosu was speechless. What was he talking about? He interrupted Big Bluff. "Don't say anything."
As expected, Big Bluff didn't say anything.
Wang Fugui sighed and said, "When I couldn't hear from you, I led a team back to the Central Plains and even brought a lot of goods with me. It's all thanks to Zhang Xiaoman that we managed to get this deal done. However, he acted on his own and approved a few million yuan worth of goods for us. Will this affect him in any way?"
Big Bluff was amused. "No, don't worry. Zhang Xiaoman did the right thing! Old Wang, do you know who this young man in front of you is? "
What was going on? Wang Fugui was stunned by his words. How could he not know who Ren Xiaosu was?
However, he heard Big Bluff say mysteriously, "This is our Fortress 178's Young Marshal. Do you know what a Young Marshal is? When Commander Zhang retires in the future, he'll be the commander of Fortress 178. This is the future commander's business, so what's wrong with putting some goods on credit? Am I right? "
Wang Fugui and the others were stunned. Although they had been in the Northwest for some time, no one had told them about such a thing.
"Are you serious?" Wang Fugui asked Big Bluff, "The future commander of Fortress 178?"
"How could I be lying?" Big Bluff said, "Otherwise, do you think anyone can get a few million yuan of credit from our Fortress 178 just by reporting their name?"
Wang Fugui finally understood why everyone in the Northwest was so enthusiastic about him, and why Zhang Xiaoman was so generous.
When the goods were shipped out of the warehouse, even the officer in charge of the warehouse was especially enthusiastic about him. He addressed him as Brother Wang and even said he wanted him to come to the Northwest often so he could expand his business and create more glory.
Previously, he was wondering why Zhang Xiaoman had so much authority.
Only now did he realize it was because Ren Xiaosu's identity had changed!
Old Wang looked at Ren Xiaosu in a daze. "It's no wonder Zhang Jinglin lived in town for so many years. So you're his …"
Ren Xiaosu's face darkened. "What the hell is this? I'm not related to him by blood. Big Bluff was just lying to you guys about this. You can't take it seriously."
However, Big Bluff did not care so much. He was just trying to figure out a way to confirm this matter. If he could influence Ren Xiaosu through people like Wang Fugui who were very close to Ren Xiaosu in the future, that would be even better!
Qin Sheng, who was eavesdropping next door, finally confirmed that Ren Xiaosu was really the Young Marshal of Fortress 178. In fact, he was the kind that everyone wanted him to be, but he did not want to be.
What should he do now? He picked up the satellite phone next to him and called his teacher, Old Li. He got straight to the point and said, "Teacher, we've confirmed Ren Xiaosu's identity. His identity is not as simple as we thought it was …."
"What do you mean?" Old Li did not understand.
Qin Sheng explained, "He's definitely not a lone supernatural being. He's different from those loners."
"That's right, I know he has a maidservant." Old Li said anxiously, "Don't take a breather right after you finish your sentence, alright?"
Qin Sheng said helplessly, "He's the successor of Fortress 178, and it looks like the entire Fortress 178 has tacitly agreed to this matter. However, it seems like he doesn't want to return to the Northwest. So Teacher, you have to be mentally prepared. Even if he's really the person we're looking for, it's very likely that he won't be convinced. "
Previously, Old Li was thinking about what if Ren Xiaosu turned out to be the person they were looking for, but Zhang Qingxi and the others did not fancy Ren Xiaosu.
But now that the situation had suddenly changed, they should be worried about what would happen if Ren Xiaosu did not fancy them!
Old Li said in a daze, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, and I don't think there's any need for him to put on an act for us." Qin Sheng said, "But Teacher, I think this is a good thing. I've been interacting with Ren Xiaosu a lot lately, and his combat prowess might very well have exceeded our expectations. In the past, we thought he was not as strong as us. Or rather, all the Knight members think that most of the supernatural beings in this world who awaken their powers naturally are not as strong as us, with the exception of a few very few. But this Ren Xiaosu might very well be one of those very few. Teacher, you should've heard about the creeper vine at Stronghold 61. He managed to escape unscathed after entering it. Moreover, I suspect that the reason why the creeper vine is withering now is because of him. "
Old Li sighed. "Alright, I understand. We'll have to inform the other Knight members about this."
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu turned to look at Jiang Wu, who was next to him. Over the past few months, Jiang Wu's temperament had become even more reserved. When everyone was talking, she would just listen quietly with a smile and not interrupt them. However, she would often look at Ren Xiaosu.
When Ren Xiaosu looked at her, she looked away.
