If it were not for the cooperation of Wang Yun, Luo Lan, and the others in the operation to find the real culprit this time, the Zhou Clan might have really succeeded in covering up the truth.
But now, Luo Zongren suddenly said that Yang Anjing was not innocent either. Although she was present, she did not save Jiang Xu.
This made Ren Xiaosu's feelings a little complicated. He could not understand why Yang Anjing did not do it herself since she had already arranged for Vanilla and Tang Hualong to protect him.
However, if it was a crime to be a bystander, then should Ren Xiaosu kill everyone who witnessed Jiang Xu's death but did not lend a helping hand? That was also impossible.
Ren Xiaosu walked up to Luo Zongren and said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Luo Zongren chuckled. "No, just kill me."
But Ren Xiaosu shook his head. Then he said to the intelligence personnel in the Northwest, "Go tie him up on a rack and parade him in public. After that, send him outside Luoyang City to be executed by shooting. Of course, that's if he's still alive by then."
Luo Zongren struggled in the torture chair. "How can you do this to me? I've already told you everything! "
"If you can help Jiang Xu recover after telling you all this, I'll consider letting you off. Unfortunately, I can't," Ren Xiaosu said.
After saying that, Ren Xiaosu left the basement and walked to the villa's garden, thinking about something in silence.
Luo Zongren's furious cursing and wailing could be heard coming from the basement. This person probably did not expect Ren Xiaosu to hate him so much. After he had already confessed everything, Ren Xiaosu still wanted to deprive him of his remaining pride.
Actually, Ren Xiaosu had already mentally prepared himself to be a completely evil person when he came to Luoyang City this time. He would use the most evil means to deal with these evil people.
When he first took care of the sniper on the rooftop, he promised that as long as the sniper told him which faction he belonged to, he would let him live.
At that time, the sniper wanted to say something but was killed by the Heart-hugging Bug.
But in fact, even if he told the truth, Ren Xiaosu would not let any of these killers go.
That promise was actually a lie to the other party.
Luo Lan walked up to him and asked, "What's your next plan?"
"A debt of blood must be paid with blood," Ren Xiaosu said.
"And then?"
"Go back to the Northwest. There are many people waiting for me there," Ren Xiaosu said.
"Then I'll accompany you to the Zhou Clan. After I take my revenge at the Zhou Clan, it's time for me to return to the Southwest." Luo Lan smiled and said, "I heard that the fruits in the Northwest will ripen in September. At that time, I'll go to the Northwest to play with you."
"You don't have to go," Ren Xiaosu said.
Next to him, Zhou Qi also said, "You can't go to the Zhou Clan. Qing Zhen called yesterday and needs you to go back immediately. The incident at Luoyang City has already put you in danger, so you shouldn't go to the Zhou Clan. "
Luo Lan was stunned for a moment. "That won't do. How can I let Ren Xiaosu go to the Zhou Clan by himself?"
But Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not alone. My helper has already arrived."
Ren Xiaosu did not say who his helper was, and Luo Lan did not ask either.
Luo Lan started talking about something else. "You also know that my younger brother likes to plan ahead. Back when he was still the Kyung Clan's shadow, he decided to set up his own secret army and secret research base. At that time, no one understood, and even his trusted subordinates did not understand the meaning behind it. But I supported him because I know he always sees the long term more than others.
"In the end, it turned out that he was right. The Kyung Clan could not tolerate him, so he had no choice but to replace them. The reason I'm telling you all this is to tell you that Qing Zhen has been guarding against the Wang Clan since more than a year ago. Ever since he moved into the military base, he's become more and more reticent and doesn't talk to anyone anymore. In the past, he would still explain why he did what he did, but he doesn't anymore. Just now, when Luo Zongren mentioned the nanomachines being stolen, I finally understood that he might have been guarding against the AI since then. "
Luo Lan said in a serious tone, "So you must be careful of the Wang Clan. There aren't many things that can make Qing Zhen act like he's facing a formidable enemy."
Ren Xiaosu nodded. "I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for the reminder."
In fact, even when the Experimentals were wreaking havoc in the Southwest, Qing Zhen had never thought much of them. But now that they were treating Zero so cautiously, Qing Zhen must have sensed some sort of danger.
After Luo Lan said that, he planned to leave. Although Jiang Xu was not killed by the Wang Clan, it was still very dangerous for him to stay in the Central Plains.
Before he left, Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "I keep getting the feeling that you've given all the glory to Qing Zhen. What about you?"
Luo Lan explained with a smile, "A lazy person like me can just follow along and win without doing anything. He's the one who should shine brightly in this era. Alright, I'm leaving!"
With that, Luo Lan led the Kyung Clan members out of Luoyang City. It was said that the Kyung Clan had already sent an elite unit through the mountains and plains of the Southwest to the Central Plains to escort Luo Lan back.
It could be seen that Qing Zhen was very worried about Luo Lan's safety.
In this chaotic world, it was very rare to have such brotherly camaraderie.
After Luo Lan left, Ren Xiaosu walked alone to the garden of the villa and called Wang Shengzhi.
The call only rang once before it was picked up. Wang Shengzhi went straight to the point and said, "Are you going to ask why the Wang Clan didn't save Jiang Xu back then?"
"There's no need to ask." Ren Xiaosu said, "From the Wang Clan's standpoint, Jiang Xu is indeed just a normal person who has no interest in the matter. Whether you guys save him or not, that's your own business. Or rather, sending Vanilla and Tang Hualong is already considered extending a helping hand, so I don't have any reason to blame you. But from today onward, you and I are no longer friends. "
Ren Xiaosu hung up the phone.
Just as Ren Xiaosu had said, whether the Wang Clan chose to save Jiang Xu or not was the Wang Clan's business. Therefore, he had no reason to kill his way into the Wang Clan.
But he could no longer be friends with people who were not involved in this matter. This was his choice.
Back then, Ren Xiaosu was willing to accept the three tasks that Wang Shengzhi mentioned because they still had some friendship. Ren Xiaosu had tried to understand the Wang Clan and the artificial intelligence, so he was willing to show his goodwill.
But things were different now.
Jiang Xu was like a crack between Ren Xiaosu and the Wang Clan that could not be mended.
Ren Xiaosu called over the intelligence personnel in the Northwest and said, "You guys can evacuate now and head back to the Northwest."
The intelligence personnel in charge of this field operation wondered, "Young Marshal, aren't you going to the Zhou Clan? We can go with you to get revenge."
"There's no need." Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "It's not your responsibility to avenge Jiang Xu, so there's no need for you to put yourselves in danger. Go back? You still have family waiting for you in the Northwest."
Yang Xiaojin walked out of the villa and looked at him. "What about me?"
Ren Xiaosu smiled. "You're coming with me."
Yang Xiaojin smiled. "Not bad, you didn't think of sending me away this time."
