The next morning, when Luo Lan and Zhou Qi reappeared, they both had a black eye.
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu had seen many battles between supernatural beings. But this was the first time he had seen two supernatural beings fight each other with their fists.
"Come on, let's go eat," Ren Xiaosu said as he tried to hold back his laughter.
After crying at Hope Media's office, Ren Xiaosu's mood slowly improved. It seemed like he was no longer as gloomy as before.
The dead were gone, and the living still had to find light and hope again. There was no need to wallow in grief all the time, and life had to go on.
When Luo Lan heard Ren Xiaosu's call, he said in a muffled voice, "We don't have to go out to eat. Just get a team of chefs to come to the villa and cook for us."
Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "Forget it, there's no need to get so many people involved. I'd like to go out for a walk anyway."
"OK," Luo Lan agreed.
Not long after the sky brightened, Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, Ren Xiaosu, and Yang Xiaojin walked out of the villa. The rain had stopped, and the air was especially fresh after the rain.
After the events of the past few days in Luoyang City, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets. Many people did not even dare to go to work, and many of the factories had also informed their workers to go on holiday.
Therefore, there were not many people on the streets.
Since yesterday afternoon, there had been rumors spreading in Luoyang City that Luoyang City no longer belonged to the Qinghe Group and had a new owner.
This news alarmed a lot of people. As a result, when Ren Xiaosu and the others left the villa, they saw many cars parked at the main entrance, each one more imposing than the last.
Ren Xiaosu took a look at the cars. "These cars look pretty good."
"Mhm, they're high-end sedans produced by the Zhou Clan's factory. In recent years, they've become the exclusive cars of the big shots," Luo Lan explained.
"Why are they all parked at the entrance?" Ren Xiaosu looked at the cars in confusion. "Are they all residents of this villa district? Why don't they park their cars inside?"
However, Luo Lan laughed. "Looks like you haven't experienced something like this before. These people aren't the residents of the villa. They're here for you."
"Why are you looking for me?" Ren Xiaosu was puzzled.
"You've taken over Luoyang City, so of course I'm here to pay my respects to you," Luo Lan said calmly. "Just watch, the show is about to begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Lan acted as if he could predict the future. When the people in the cars saw Ren Xiaosu and Luo Lan coming out, they quickly got off their cars and jogged over.
Although they didn't know what Ren Xiaosu looked like, they knew about Luo Lan and Zhou Qi.
Now that Luo Lan and Zhou Qi were accompanying him, it had to be that person from the Northwest.
Instantly, the nearby residents saw all the big shots of Luoyang City gathering around them, and they immediately understood what was going on.
However, no one thought anything of it. Actually, after two major battles, Ren Xiaosu's status in the hearts of the people of Luoyang City was already very high. Therefore, no one was too flustered about Ren Xiaosu taking over Luoyang City.
It was said that Ren Xiaosu was a friend of the Knight. Over the past year, the Knight had been leaving Luoyang City one by one, and everyone was feeling a little insecure. But now that a new city lord had arrived, everyone felt it was quite good.
The only question was, where should the Qinghe Group go from here?
At this moment, when the big shots in Luoyang City gathered around them, Ren Xiaosu looked at them calmly. "Alright, you don't have to come here to pay your respects to me. I'll be leaving after I get my revenge. I won't really be taking over Luoyang City."
So that was what was going on. So it turned out that the Northwest did not intend to take over this place.
Ren Xiaosu waved them off. "Don't be an eyesore here. Go wherever you need to go."
"Alright, alright, do what you need to do." Seeing that Ren Xiaosu was not very happy, the group of people bowed and hurriedly ran off.
Luo Lan said with a smile, "When you return to the Northwest in the future, you'll also have to face such a scene. For a time, all the high-ranking officials, rich merchants, and people who beg in your territory will have to pay their respects to you. Because you'll be the future master of the Northwest and will be in control of their lives. My younger brother, Qing Zhen, hid in the military camp not only to prevent assassinations, but also because he was afraid that these people would keep coming to visit him. It was too annoying. He's someone who likes peace and quiet, so he couldn't stand this. "
Ren Xiaosu looked at the departing cars and sighed. "I guess this is how the world works."
Luo Lan grinned and said, "This is how the world works."
With a smile, he tugged on the wound he got from the scuffle with Zhou Qi last night.
Luo Lan said indignantly, "I was so slim back then. Ever since I turned 15, I've been eating all kinds of tonics, and I've become like this. When my father was still alive, he even despised me for eating too much. Now that the truth is out, if it were someone else, I'd definitely shoot and kill them! "
Zhou Qi rolled his eyes. "Wasn't it just a joke? Is there a need to be so serious?"
"I knew it. No matter how weak my body is, I can't possibly pee in different directions!" Luo Lan's anger had not subsided yet …
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu and the others arrived at a breakfast shop across the street. It seemed that because everyone was not going out, there were not many people in the shop.
When the boss saw the four of them, he quickly greeted them. "What would you like to eat? We have rice noodles, spicy soup, Xiaomi congee, rice noodles, and wonton."
"Let's have a bowl of dumplings," Luo Lan said.
Ren Xiaosu ordered chicken rice noodles, Yang Xiaojin ordered Xiaomi congee, and Zhou Qi also ordered wonton.
After the four of them finished their simple meal, they were surprised to find that the food in this breakfast shop was quite good.
Luo Lan chatted with the boss as if they were very familiar with each other. "Luoyang City has been in such a mess for the past two days. Boss, you're still doing business here?"
The middle-aged boss smiled amiably. "No matter how chaotic it is, I still have to live."
Before they left, Luo Lan took out his wallet and was about to pay. But to their surprise, the middle-aged boss rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Since the four of you are here to eat, you don't have to pay. Not only today, you don't have to pay either."
Ren Xiaosu was taken aback for a moment. "Why is that?"
The boss explained, "The news of the four of you avenging Chief Editor Jiang Xu's murder has spread throughout Luoyang City. As ordinary people, although we're very angry, we don't dare to step forward to avenge our chief editor. But since the four of you avenged him, you're equivalent to the people of Luoyang City being our benefactors. Many of the bosses in the Food and Beverage Alliance have said that in the future, no matter where the four of you eat, as long as you're in Luoyang City, you don't have to pay. This is something that ordinary people like us can do, so I hope you won't turn it down. "
Ren Xiaosu was in a daze for a moment.
Actually, when he left the intersection yesterday, he was a little resentful. Everyone clearly said that they respected Jiang Xu, but when Jiang Xu died, no one helped him. When the assassins appeared yesterday, no one dared to step forward either.
But at this moment, Ren Xiaosu instantly felt relieved. It was because of the boss's words: This is something that ordinary people like us can do.
Ren Xiaosu smiled. That's right, ordinary people have their own way of living. There was no need for him to force everyone to be like Jiang Xu.
Wasn't today's free breakfast also the light that Jiang Xu had left behind? Although that light was still weak, it had never really been extinguished.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu smiled and thanked the boss, then turned around and left the restaurant.
Ever since he learned of the grievous news, all the gloominess was swept away. Now, all that was left to do was to kill all his enemies.
