Chapter 1000, The Way of the World

When Zhou Shou Shi realized that no matter how much he talked about it, he would definitely die today, he instead slowly calmed down.

Zhou Shou Shi held up his gold framed glasses and even used his hand to comb his hair before he said, “Wang is now annexing the Fire Seed and the Kong Clan, did you know that?”

Ren Xiaosu sat down across from him, “I know, but what does this have to do with the topic I’m talking to you about? Are you trying to say that you are doing all of this to target the Wang Clan?”

“That’s right,” Zhou Shou Shi said, “A few years ago, the Wang Clan exposed their wolfish ambitions, constantly using trade to find ways to weaken the neighboring consortiums, and with universal military service in place for so many years, everyone knows that they want to start a war in the Central Plains.”

“So?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“So our Zhou Clan is only seeking to protect itself,” Zhou Shou Shi said in a cold voice, “Wang Clan can do whatever it takes, why can’t my Zhou Clan? Haven’t you noticed that they have only recently recalled males under the age of 30 who have served in the military, in fact, they didn’t use their full strength at all in the war with the Expeditionary Corps either. Otherwise, the Spark wouldn’t have collapsed so miserably, and your Northwest Army wouldn’t have had to hold out so hard at Zuoyun Mountain! Don’t you think that those soldiers of your Northwest Army who died at Zuo Yun Mountain died in vain?”

Ren Xiaosu shook his head, “So you killed Jiang Xu?”

“This will make the entire Barrier Alliance on the same page, and it will also tie the Qing Clan and the Zhou Clan together to defend against the Wang Clan! If the plan had succeeded, you would have also gone to avenge Jiang Xu, right, so it tied up the Northwest as well,” Zhou Shou Shi said, “This would have been the best ploy for the Zhou Clan.”

Ren Xiaosu admitted that if it wasn’t for Wang Yun and the few of them working together, Zhou’s ploy would have indeed succeeded, and at that time, Wang would have been the enemy of the entire world, and there would have been no chance for the gradual annexation of the various consortiums that was happening now.

If he hadn’t encountered Ren Xiaosu, Zhou Shiji might also have gotten a title like Traitor or Lord.

“But, you guys weren’t affected by the expeditionary corps, you envy Wang’s universal military service, you guys can do the same, you can formulate all sorts of strategies, but you shouldn’t use Jiang Xu’s life in exchange for your victory, maybe in your opinion killing Jiang Xu is the best choice for Zhou, but in my opinion, he’s the most innocent,” Ren Xiaosu sighed, “Saying a thousand words, who did Jiang Xu provoke?”

Saying that, Ren Xiaosu stood up and pulled the curtains open a slit.

The afternoon sunlight shone into this gloomy hut, and Zhou Shou Shi couldn’t help but use his hand to block out the light, as the sunlight was a bit blinding.

Ren Xiaosu said, “Tell me Zhou Shiji’s itinerary.”

Zhou Shou Shi said grimly, “Who am I to tell you? Will I live after I tell you?”

“That’s not true,” Ren Xiaosu grinned, “Don’t you feel a bit lonely going down alone, how nice to have a companion. Think about it, this plan was obviously formulated by him, but you are the one who died, is it wrong?”

Ten minutes later Ren Xiaosu walked out from the intelligence agency’s building and got Zhou Shushi’s specific itinerary, as well as the contingency plan of Zhou Shushi’s team around him after he encountered a crisis in the wall.

Zhou Shou Shi was afraid that he was particularly worried that Zhou Shiji wouldn’t be able to die as if he had explained all of this very clearly.

To be honest, Ren Xiaosu felt that this interrogation process was a bit too simple, probably because Zhou Shou Shi was really afraid of being alone.

It is such a group of spineless and afraid of the sun, hiding behind that thick curtain killed Jiang Xu ah.

At a certain moment, Ren Xiaosu was also thinking about a question, this time after he paid a visit to the Zhou Clan, if he really killed Zhou Shiji, then the Zhou Clan would also be in internal turmoil immediately, right?

According to what Luo Lan said, there was no one within the Zhou Clan who could carry the load other than Zhou Shiji.

In that case, the Wang Clan would have no rivals in the Central Plains.

I am afraid that this is also the reason why Qing asked Luo Lan to go back urgently. Could Qing Zhen have already foreseen the day when the Wang Clan would unify the Central Plains?

Then what, would Wang Clan continue to strike at the northwest and southwest? Ren Xiaosu felt that it would.

The Wang Clan at that time would be a behemoth.

However, how could this revenge not be avenged? Ren Xiaosu wanted everyone to know what price to pay for killing someone like Jiang Xu.

Now, Hope Media’s side should have packed their bags and moved to the northwest.

Those with families will stay in L.A., while the rest will go north to set up a new Hope Media headquarters, and L.A.’s Hope Media will become a branch.

This was a decision made by Zhang Chentong after thinking for a long time, because the Central Plains was no longer peaceful, and everyone had a premonition of a crisis.

While pondering, Ren Xiaosu had already walked through two street intersections, the people in the intelligence agency had almost poured out because of the arrest of the criminals who had created the explosion at the city gate, so Ren Xiaosu invaded with extra ease, and now the outside world was afraid that they all still did not know about the news of Zhou Shou Shi’s death.

Ren Xiaosu looked at the streets in Barrier 73, the residents were discussing the explosion just now in the streets, no one would have thought that the mastermind Ren Xiaosu would just pass them by so sparingly.

The residents were innocent, Ren Xiaosu didn’t want to go on a killing spree directly in the barriers, I’m afraid Jiang Xu would be very disappointed if many innocents were affected.

But it didn’t matter, he would let Zhou Shiji drill himself inside the cage.

There were still two days before Zhou’s main force arrived at Barrier 73, and Ren Xiaosu thought that this time was completely sufficient.

At this moment, the sound of explosions came from the northern part of the ledge again, that was the barracks of the 73rd ledge’s guarding force, if even the blasting there was successful, then this ledge would be no longer safe for Zhou Shiji at all.

However, before Ren Xiaosu could safely withdraw, he suddenly sensed that someone was following him.

Ren Xiaosu turned around and turned into a small alley and disappeared, and the stalker behind him quickened his pace and also got into the small alley.

However, when the two of them went in, they realized that it was actually a dead end alley, while Ren Xiaosu had already disappeared.

“Looking for me? There are a bit too many people looking for me these two days,” Ren Xiaosu sized up the other party, these two people actually didn’t look much like Zhou’s people, their clothes were more like stragglers mingling in the wilderness.

Those two people looked at each other, their hands slowly moved to their waists.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, “Which department of Zhou’s are you guys from?”

“Masters are not from Zhou’s department, just earning some bounty,” one of them said.

Ren Xiaosu nodded, “Looks like an intelligence peddler in the underground world, who do you hang out with?”

“How can we say such things, although our skills are not as good as yours, but our backbone is still a little bit, if you want to kill or die, hurry up and do it, we won’t involve others,” said a man.

Ren Xiaosu smiled, “Forget it, these days there are too many killings, don’t want to kill unrelated people again.”

Saying that, Ren Xiaosu turned around and walked towards the outside of the hutong.

However, as soon as he turned around, the Han behind him quickly drew his gun and wanted to shoot Ren Xiaosu, before he could raise his arm, a sniper bullet pierced through his chest.

Another man saw the wrong opportunity and wanted to escape over the wall, but Yang Xiaoguan would not give him a chance.

Ren Xiaosu silently stood at the mouth of the alley and sighed: “What’s wrong with this world, Xiaogen, your position is exposed, move to the A7 area, I’ll meet you on the way.”

Yang Xiaoguan responded in her headset, “Okay.”
