Be it Nonsense or Zhou Yingxue, the two of them dealt with the thugs and supernatural beings like it was nothing to them. After the battle, they did what they were supposed to do and did not feel any pressure at all.
In other words, Wang Yuchi's chicken soup had a few more pieces of potatoes added to it.
It had to be said that these three consortiums thought they had found a way out of this predicament. But in fact, they had accurately located the two hidden monsters in the stronghold who had planned to stand aloof from worldly affairs.
Putting aside Zhou Yingxue, it was Ren Xiaosu who had asked her to stay at home and not go out as long as nothing happened to Wang Yuchi and the others.
But Hu Shuo's matter was too much. He was teaching the children how to write a secret letter, yet you suddenly came knocking on his door. Even if you really managed to defeat him, what if Li Shentan and Si Liren came out to seek revenge?
Actually, the Xu clan's people were not wrong. Yang Ruilin vacating his house and the Knight's sudden transfer of funds to the orphanage during the war were indeed very suspicious.
Moreover, they had indeed found Ren Xiaosu's family. If not for Zhou Yingxue, they might have succeeded.
But there were no ifs in this world.
The heads of the three consortiums were quietly waiting for the good news from the Special Operations Forces in a secluded residence. Unlike the tense atmosphere earlier, everyone was a little more relaxed and even started chatting about wine tasting.
Second Brother Kong said with a smile, "I still have a bottle of Suntory whiskey hidden at my place. I don't know which wealthy family's wine cellar it was from before The Cataclysm, but it's still very well-preserved."
The young man from the Wang Clan, Wang Wenyan, glanced at him. "I still prefer Maotai."
As time passed, the three of them felt that something was amiss. Second Brother Kong glanced at his watch. "It's been more than 40 minutes. Why hasn't there been any news? Get someone to contact the field personnel to check on the progress. "
But his subordinate immediately ran back after he went out and said uneasily, "We can't get in touch!"
"Which side can't be contacted?" Wang Wenyan asked calmly.
"We can't get in touch with either side."
The three heads immediately raised their eyebrows. They thought something had happened to one of the sides. But from the looks of it, those two groups of people were probably dead.
"Send someone to check the surroundings!" Second Brother Kong said.
The three of them sat down again, but the uneasiness in their hearts grew stronger.
Ten minutes later, the person who returned said, "The people who went to investigate at Junmin Alley have also gone missing. We saw the Qinghe Group's people collecting the corpses from afar at the orphanage. It looks like our people have all been killed. They couldn't even get into the orphanage!"
Second Brother Kong gritted his teeth and said, "Bring the people from the Xu Family here!"
Previously, he had been quite polite to the Xu Family, but now, he had no intention of being polite.
When the Xu family was brought into the house, they looked confused. "Is there something you need from us?"
Second Brother Kong was so angry that he laughed. "You're still putting on an act in front of me? Your Xu Clan's Xu Ke has set up a good plan. He actually set up an ambush and had you guys come over to lure my men into this trap, so as to weaken our strength."
The people from the Xu Family were dumbfounded. "What are you talking about?"
"Hehe," Second Brother Kong sneered and said, "You're all good men. You know you can't escape after setting up a trap for us, yet you're still so brave as to act as double agents. Since that's the case, I'll give you all a quick death. Bring me out to be executed!"
The people from the Xu Family started shouting, "Is there some misunderstanding between us? I don't even understand what you're talking about. Didn't we agree that you'll only want the satellites after the deed is done? We'll be able to take whatever we want from Luoyang City …. We don't want the money anymore, so can you please let us live?!"
As they spoke, the people from the Xu Family started crying very loudly.
Unfortunately, no one else could hear them. The entire residential area nearby was already occupied by the people from the three consortiums.
Actually, they were not so sure that the people from the Xu Family had deliberately set up a trap for them. After all, they were the ones who had let the people from the three consortiums into Luoyang City all these years, and they even did it very discreetly. If they were the ones who had betrayed them, it would make no sense at all.
It was more likely that Xu Ke had already predicted that the people from the Xu Family would betray them, so he deliberately revealed these seemingly flaws to lure them into his trap.
But it didn't matter. In any case, the people from the Xu Family were no longer essential, and the three consortiums had no intention of splitting Luoyang City with them anyway.
But what they did not know was that Xu Ke did not have any ulterior motives at all, and this was not the place he had schemed against. The reason why the two teams of field agents and two supernatural beings they had sent out had died was purely because they were unlucky enough to run into an iron plate.
It might not even be accurate to describe it as an iron plate. They had run into two pieces of granite.
At this moment, the Qinghe Group's people were in charge of clearing up the corpses left behind by the consortiums at the entrance of the orphanage. Several dozen thugs and a supernatural being had died here alone.
At this moment, Nonsense's identity as a supernatural being could no longer be kept a secret. However, the Qinghe Group had never treated supernatural beings harshly or done anything to them. So it didn't matter if he was exposed.
When Qin Sheng arrived at the orphanage, Nonsense came out to explain that he did not know why the other party had come. Nonsense did not lie about this. He really did not fucking know!
"It's probably because our Knight brought the orphanage under our jurisdiction, so someone with ulterior motives noticed it." Qin Sheng sighed. "I was worried about this before, but I didn't expect the other party to be so deranged that they wouldn't even let the orphanage off. Have a good rest. Consider it your help this time. In the future, the orphanage's funds will definitely be disbursed on time, and it'll even be increased by a lot. Consider it our Knight's way of expressing our gratitude. "
"Alright, I still have to continue teaching the children. You can go back to your work." Nonsense waved his hand and closed the door of the orphanage. It was as though he had nothing to do with this matter.
When Qin Sheng told this to Xu Ke, Xu Ke immediately felt like he had not done anything at all, but victory had already been decided.
However, everyone knew they had not won yet. Before the end of the night, the consortiums would definitely have an even greater trump card up their sleeves.
In the residential area, Wang Wenyan said calmly, "This is the Qinghe Group's territory, after all. There are too many things that we don't know about. The other party has been in business for a long time, so it's normal for them to have a trump card. I think everyone should stop hesitating. It's no longer possible to wait until the end to reduce our casualties. Let's make our move. While creating chaos, we can also take down Xu Ke. "
Before this, the three consortiums had tried to find a way to take advantage of the situation again and again, such as capturing Jiang Xu or finding a way to break out of the situation. It was not that they were not as strong as the Qinghe Group, but that they wanted to preserve their strength to deal with the other two consortiums after destroying the Qinghe Group.
Second Brother Kong stood up and said with a sneer, "Then let's make our move. We'll have to rely on our own abilities."
