Chapter 970, Condolences

In the wilderness, Luo Lan and Zhou Qi were nestling in a place with a backdrop, the two were here to wait for Qing Clan’s warriors lurking in the Central Plains to send transportation, they couldn’t just let the two of them walk directly to Luo City, how long would they have to walk?

At the moment, they had already passed through Wang Clan’s northern defense line from the mountains, so the threat from Wang Clan wasn’t too big anymore.

The only thing they needed to worry about was in case their intelligence staff went rogue and brought the Wang Clan over to capture them together, then it would be more troublesome.

Zhou Qi muttered in a low voice, “You and Qing Zhen also know that Wang’s AI is controlling the satellite, what if it discovers our whereabouts?”

“So what if it finds out, at this time Wang is chasing the Expeditionary Corps, how would it have time to care about us?” Luo Lan said unconcernedly, “If someone really comes to catch us, we’ll just run into the mountains, can two Transcendents not outrun them?”

Zhou Qi scorned, “How long have you been awakened, with your physical fitness and weight, you might not be able to outrun them.”

“I’ve been awakened for almost half a year now, why do you still look like you can’t see it,” Luo Lan said unhappily.

As a result, just at this moment, the roar of an off-road vehicle’s engine came from the distance, Luo Lan cautiously probed out to observe and realized that the other party was only one person coming over, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Only to see Luo Lan jump out from his hiding place, “This way this way!”

The one who came was a young man, he immediately got out of the car upon seeing Luo Lan and shoved the car keys into Luo Lan’s hand, “Boss Luo, Officer Qingzhen couldn’t contact you and is now very anxious, he thought you had an accident!”

Luo Lan froze for a moment, he pulled out his satellite phone and saw that it was out of battery, “What’s so urgent that he’s looking for me?”

Logically speaking, he had only spoken to Qing Zhen on the phone half a day ago, and if it wasn’t urgent, Qing Zhen would never have called him at this time.

The intelligence staff on the other side said, “We have received news on our side that Mr. Jiang Xu of Hope Media has been assassinated in L.A. City, so Boss Luo’s plan to travel to L.A. City on your side has been canceled, and Officer Qing Zhen has requested that you return directly to Southwest so that no one will lay a hand on you.”

Luo Lan froze for a moment, it was hard for him to believe that this news was true even at first: “Jiang Xu is dead? When did this happen?”

“Two hours ago,” said the intelligence staff, “Now everyone suspects that Wang’s hand was used, after all, they have assassinated many people before, Wang’s consortium has gone crazy, you must not go to Luo City at this time.”

“What did Qing Zhen say, does he also think it was Wang’s doing?” Luo Lan asked.

“Officer Qing Zhen said he couldn’t be sure,” the intelligence staff shook his head and said.

Luo Lan bowed his head in deep thought, to be honest, when he learned of Jiang Xu’s death, he also subconsciously felt that it was Wang who killed him, after all, Wang has used too many assassination methods over this period of time, Kong’s Kong Erdong and Kong Donghai, as well as Zhou’s Zhou Xilong and so on, all of them came from Wang’s handiwork, and these few famous people were just a microcosm of Wang’s plans, so one can say that the Wang’s consortium’s frequent use of assassination methods is in itself a bit of a rip-off. It can be said that Wang’s frequent use of assassination means, itself is a bit torn face meaning, serious consortium who will always use this kind of on the surface of the means ah?

Moreover, the articles written by Jiang Xu in the past month have been very unfavorable to the Wang Clan, and almost the entire Barrier Alliance now believes that the Wang Clan’s means of appropriating the Kong Clan and the Fire Seed in this foreign war is too dishonorable, and doesn’t play the social responsibility that a consortium should have.

Everyone very much resented Wang Clan’s behavior of taking advantage of the fire, even within Wang Clan itself.

Therefore, Wang Clan also did have the motive to kill Jiang Xu.

But the problem was, if Jiang Xu died, everyone would subconsciously think that it was Wang’s doing, then why would Wang still want to kill Jiang Xu at this time?

This behavior, won’t it provoke all the people who were originally dissatisfied with Wang’s heart.

If Jiang Xu didn’t die, everyone would still be fed up with Wang, but if Wang killed Jiang Xu, this fed up would instantly escalate into anger!

Is Wang Shengzhi a fool? Of course Wang Shengzhi is not stupid, no matter how annoying the things he did are, but at least he is really one of the smartest people in the entire Barrier Alliance, at first, just the hand of absorbing the stragglers disgusted the Kong Clan and the Zhou Clan, so how could he possibly make such a low-level mistake now?

Deliberately attracting the public’s anger? Wang Shengzhi should not do such a stupid thing, right?

At this point, the situation was a bit confusing, and Luo Lan felt a bit unable to see through it.

The intelligence staff said, “Boss Luo, hurry back to the southwest on your side, I’ll make a trip to L.A. to investigate this matter, and I’ll be sure to give you a satisfactory answer.”

However, Luo Lan suddenly shook his head, “No, I have to go to Luo Cheng.”

The intelligence staff froze for a moment, “It’s very dangerous for you to go to L.A. City at this time, if Jiang Xu was really killed by the Wang Clan, that means they won’t be concerned about your identity anymore, they may directly take action against you, our nuclear test base has already been destroyed, the Wang Clan has no more scruples at this time!”

“No way,” Luo Lan said, “The mission to L.A. City is on hold for now, but I’m going to go and offer my condolences to Mr. Jiang Xu, counting the time I’ve been reading his articles for seven or eight years, although I haven’t been able to become friends with the old man, but I’ve always respected him as a human being, at this time when he’s gone all of a sudden I’m going to go and see him and give him a farewell.”

The intelligence staff froze, he didn’t expect Luo Lan to take the risk of going to Luo Cheng now, but only to give Jiang Xu a farewell.

In such a dangerous situation nowadays, how much courage does it take to go to Luo Cheng?

Luo Lan looked at the intelligence staff and smiled and comforted, “Don’t worry, it’s not like I’m going to send myself to death, isn’t there still Zhou Qi here to protect me?”

Zhou Qi on the side rolled his eyes, “Big brother, Lohan City is just a two to three hour drive away from Wang’s, I can’t protect you in that kind of place.”

“Would it kill you to say less,” Luo Lan was not happy, “I’m a Transcendent myself, I don’t need you to protect me, if someone kills me you’ll run away first, okay!”

Zhou Qi rolled his eyes again, “Is it useful to say this kind of angry words, why don’t you give me some extra money!”

“Fine, fine, raise the money, raise the money, raise the money,” Luo Lan cried and laughed, he turned his head to the intelligence staff and said, “There’s another very dangerous task for you on my side.”

The intelligence staff immediately stood up straight, “You name it, I will definitely complete any mission that is more dangerous.”

“Good, right now the Northwest Army should still be in the north chasing the Expeditionary Corps, I need you to pass this news of Jiang Xu’s passing to the Northwest Army’s Major Commander, Ren Xiaosu,” Luo Lan said earnestly, “He will surely go to Luocheng when he learns of this news, and at that time, the Heavenly Kings will have to look at him if they want to kill me. “
