The somewhat noisy campsite gradually quietened down. Everyone looked at Ren Xiaosu and Wang Congyang. Even a fool could tell that these two knew each other and had a grudge against each other.
As Ren Xiaosu approached, Wang Congyang retreated. Meanwhile, Yang Xiaojin sat where she was, ready to conjure her black sniper rifle at any time to help Ren Xiaosu hunt down that enemy of theirs. She was also there when Wang Congyang led the bandits to launch a sneak attack!
Meanwhile, the ones who were most interested in this matter were Cheng Yu and Wang Yun. Wang Congyang's name was no longer a secret in the underworld. He often carried out secret escort missions for the consortiums and worked for them for money, so he was very tight-lipped.
In the early days, the consortiums would only look for Wang Congyang to carry out some ordinary transportation missions. Later on, they realized that they could not find any relevant information on Wang Congyang's missions on the black market. As a result, they started working with him more and more often.
Wang Yun remembered that the Kong Clan had worked with Wang Congyang three times.
However, Wang Congyang had never taken on any assassination missions and seemed to be very cautious.
The reason Wang Yun was interested was that he had always wanted to know Ren Xiaosu's identity. However, Ren Xiaosu always gave him all kinds of unreliable reasons.
Now that Wang Congyang and Ren Xiaosu had a grudge against each other, it was very likely that Wang Congyang knew Ren Xiaosu's identity. In that case, Wang Yun would have a new lead!
Thinking of this, Wang Yun suddenly stood up. He wanted to mediate and smooth things over.
But before he could say anything, he was surprised to see Wang Congyang turn around and run away. Furthermore, he conjured up his steam locomotive and ran as fast as he could!
Everyone present was stunned. Most of them could not figure out what was going on.
Wang Yun and Cheng Yu looked at Ren Xiaosu quietly. Wang Congyang was a very powerful supernatural being. The consortiums had already sent people to test him and found out he was not a weakling.
But this Wang Congyang actually ran away without hesitation when he saw Ren Xiaosu?
From this incident, it could be seen that their previous guesses were all true!
Ren Xiaosu stood where he was and did not chase after Wang Congyang. However, this fellow started running away when he was about a hundred meters away from him. Furthermore, the Pyro Company's troops were not too far away, so Ren Xiaosu did not want to complicate matters.
Moreover, Wang Congyang was fleeing in the direction of the Pyro Company's troops. In order to escape, this fellow did not hesitate to drag the enemy along with him and muddy the waters.
At this moment, the Pyro Company's troops were retreating in an orderly manner. They had received orders not to get close to the group of outsiders in the west for the time being. The combatants thought it was better this way. They had also heard of the legend of those people singing and dancing fearlessly in the mountains.
But before they could retreat, the sound of a steam locomotive rang out from behind them. The commander of the combat troops was stunned. "Isn't this a little too arrogant?"
After the Pyro Company's troops regrouped, not only did they not stop while they were ahead, but they even went after the Pyro Company's troops instead?
Don't you know whose home field this is?
But on second thought, the commander felt something was off. If the other party did not have any confidence, would they dare to chase after them like this?
The commander hurriedly reported to his superior on the radio, "Sir, after we retreated, the other party started chasing after us. It seems like they're very confident!"
The superior on the radio fell silent for two seconds before saying, "Retreat at full speed. I'll arrange for the others to go over."
After hanging up, the Pyro Company's commander closed his eyes and pondered. Just what was going on with this group? Why were they even more unyielding than Li Shentan's troops?
After all, even Li Shentan did not take the initiative to chase after them.
Wang Congyang was extremely nervous on the steam locomotive and was even prepared to bring out his trump card, the black cauldron. But when he saw the Pyro Company was so afraid of him, he was overjoyed.
He no longer wanted to get involved in this mess in the Sacred Mountains, so he might as well leave!
At the campsite, Ren Xiaosu watched Wang Congyang leave quietly. Yang Xiaojin walked up to him and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you make a move? You should've been able to catch up to him if you went all out just now. Although you might've had to face the Pyro Company's attacks together, you've never been afraid of such things, right? "
"It's different." Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "If we were to chase after him, we'd have to use 'Old Xu.' That way, my relationship with White Mask would be exposed. Moreover, if I killed Wang Congyang in public, it wouldn't be as easy to use the steam locomotive again."
In the end, Ren Xiaosu thought of the problem of letting someone else take the blame for him in the future.
If he wanted to cause trouble for Wang Congyang, he would have to do it secretly. He could not let anyone find out. Only then would many people blame it on Wang Congyang.
For example, the laboratory data at Stronghold 73 had already been secretly sent back to the Kyung Clan by Luo Lan's men. However, the Pyro Company still believed Wang Congyang was the one who did it.
Every time he did something like this, Ren Xiaosu would secretly feel good.
In the past, he always felt a little bad for letting Xu Xianchu take the blame since they were friends.
Now that he had to share the blame with Wang Congyang, he did not feel so pressured anymore.
At this moment, Cheng Yu, Song Qiao, and the others had already gone up to their colleagues from the Anjing House. "Did y 'all get attacked by the Pyro Company?"
"That's right, they suddenly appeared. There were originally more than 50 people in our group, but after the battle, only a dozen or so of us managed to escape. We even encountered another group along the way, and there were only about 20 people left after the two groups combined." The Anjing House member said, "But why weren't y 'all attacked? There's no reason for them to just let y' all off."
Song Qiao expressed that he was also a little puzzled. Meanwhile, Cheng Yu suddenly wondered if the Pyro Company did not dare to make a move on them because the atmosphere here was too cheerful.
Although this answer sounded very ridiculous, he could not think of any other explanation for the time being.
It was already very late, but battles were still going on elsewhere in the Sacred Mountains. From the looks of it, there were also hidden experts among the scattered members. Otherwise, they would not have been in a stalemate with the Pyro Company for so long.
Everyone did not dare to sleep anymore. They moved to a new campsite overnight and kept watch until the latter half of the night.
Just as the sky was about to brighten, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the forest. The other party was stepping on the soft soil and rotten leaves at dawn. The sound reverberated in their ears like a strange melody, but it also sounded like someone was whispering in their ears.
Ren Xiaosu turned around and was surprised to see everyone in the campsite had slowly closed their eyes.
He looked around. Other than him, there was no one else!
The person who had been hiding in the forest walked out. When he saw Ren Xiaosu, he suddenly said in surprise, "Why aren't you asleep?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment before answering, "I'm not sleepy yet …."
