Chapter 660: He ran away just like that?
Moreover, she also enjoyed watching sadistic romance tropes like these. It was much more enjoyable than reading those romance novels!
Si Liren watched with delight and even thought of flying out of the stronghold to see how Ren Xiaosu would get hunted down by Yang Xiaojin. However, Li Shentan stopped her.
“Ahem.” Li Shentan said, “We’ll just have a look here. It’s a little too much if we follow them as well. If these two suddenly get angry out of embarrassment and decide to attack us, wouldn’t we be bringing trouble upon ourselves?”
“Then where do we go now?” Si Liren asked.
“Let’s go to the orphanage to visit Grandpa!” Li Shentan said firmly.
“But weren’t we supposed to head south to see the typhoons?” Si Liren asked.
“There’s no need to be so anxious about that. The typhoons will not arrive for a few more months.” Li Shentan explained, “Let’s go to the orphanage first and do some magic for the children to cheer them up!”
“Do magic for them?” Si Liren wondered.
“That’s right! Think about it: If I do some magic for them, they’ll definitely applaud hard and worship me as their idol.” Li Shentan started fantasizing again.
“But, Big Brother Shentan, why do you always do whatever you like?” Si Liren said, curling her lips.
Li Shentan said matter-of-factly, “That’s how all mental patients are!”
...
Several of the Riders were sitting side by side at Wangchunmen Boulevard as they watched Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin disappear into the distance. Xu Ke sighed and said, “How nice it is to be young. Meanwhile, we’re already in our thirties...”
“Big Brother Xu Ke, I’m only 18,” Qin Sheng said.
“I wasn’t talking about you.” Xu Ke snapped, “Old Li, I think you all should... Old Li?”
When Xu Ke turned his head, he was surprised to see Old Li was not even looking at him, nor did he hear what he just said. Old Li was staring hard at the stone slabs on the street.
Xu Ke stretched his hand out and waved it in Old Li’s face. Only then did Li Yingyun come back to his senses. Xu Ke saw a blur as Old Li threw himself to the ground and picked up something from the bloodstains.
“Old Li, what are you doing?” Huang Xiaoyu asked with a frown, “Why’re you acting like you’ve gone crazy? Could it be that you were beaten up silly while fighting just now? You looked pretty agile there. If you’re not tired, come and give me a hand....”
But Old Li did not even notice him as he stared, fixated on the thing in his hand.
“Old Li!” Huang Xiaoyu said anxiously, “What the hell are you doing?!”
Li Yingyun turned around and looked at them. “This is Ren Xiaosu’s hair that fell on the ground.”
Before this, Old Li and Qin Sheng had gone to Ren Xiaosu’s room to search for his hair on more than one occasion, because they suspected Ren Xiaosu was the person they were looking for.
But to Old Li’s disappointment, they always returned empty-handed.
It seemed that Ren Xiaosu did not have any hair loss worries that most normal people would face.
Actually, even a normal person would occasionally lose some hair in their daily lives as it was a normal phenomenon. However, Ren Xiaosu was not normal at all.
It was just like how the gods in the legends attained transcendence.
Later, Qin Sheng even followed Ren Xiaosu to Stronghold 61 with the same purpose. However, he still found nothing at all.
Now that Yang Xiaojin had shot off a lock of Ren Xiaosu’s hair, Old Li could finally use it to extract his DNA for a test!
A lot of people did not know the Qinghe Group still had the DNA sequence data of the founder stored here. This was the most important mission for the Qinghe Group. The Pyro Company had always wanted to obtain it, but the Qinghe Group never announced they had it to the public.
Old Li finally managed to get his hands on some of Ren Xiaosu’s hair. However, everyone suddenly felt unsettled by this. It was like they were a group of students waiting for their exam results to be released.
Huang Xiaoyu and the others stood up. “Old Li, are you sure you saw it clearly? Is that really his hair?”
“I’m sure of it. I didn’t even blink just now.” Old Li said firmly, “Let’s go back to the Qinghe headquarters. This is our utmost priority right now!”
“And what if he really is the one?” Zhang Qingxi said distantly from next to him, “That Ren Xiaosu is even more powerful than we imagined, and it seems like he doesn’t hunger for power. I suggest everyone think carefully about how to get along with him if he really is...”
...
On that very night, Qin Sheng went to look for Zhou Yingxue. “We’ve arranged a new place for you all to live at. The house is even more well-hidden than this one, and it’s closer to Qinghe University as well.”
The place where Zhou Yingxue and the others were living right now was the home of an important member of the Qinghe Group, Yang Ruilin. This arrangement was made to provide Ren Xiaosu’s group with a smokescreen on their arrival at the stronghold. Now that the matter was over, it would not be very nice to have Yang Ruilin continue staying at the hotel anymore. So Luo Yunxian vacated his villa to Zhou Yingxue and the others.
In any case, the Riders were already planning to leave Luoyang City soon.
Zhou Yingxue looked at Qin Sheng and wondered, “Why are you here? Where’s my master?”
Qin Sheng hesitated for a moment. “He left with Yang Xiaojin. Didn’t anyone tell you?”
Then Qin Sheng saw Zhou Yingxue, who was smiling, suddenly look like she had been struck by lightning.
“Eh?!” Zhou Yingxue flew into a rage. “He ran away just like that? He didn’t even tell me anything? Where did he go? Does he still remember that his maid is here?!”
Qin Sheng said innocently, “I—”
Zhou Yingxue ignored him and continued throwing a tantrum. “How can he forget about his maid after reuniting with his wife? Is the maid not important at all? Huh? He should have at least said something! This is too much!”
Qin Sheng was forced to flee.
While Zhou Yingxue was throwing her tantrum, Qin Sheng suddenly felt the woman in front of him was extremely dangerous. He was so frightened his hair stood on end. It felt as though the stronghold was about to get destroyed in her rage.
He could not understand why he got this feeling.
Of course, Qin Sheng did not know that Zhou Yingxue was really capable of destroying a stronghold now.
When Wang Yuchi and the others saw Zhou Yingxue walk back into the house, they quickly lowered their heads and started studying. They were afraid the woman would start venting her anger on them.
While they were having dinner that evening, the expressions on Wang Yuchi and the others’ faces changed. Zhou Yingxue must have poured all the salt in the house into the pot when she was cooking.
Three days later, Zhang Qingxi suddenly announced their separation from the Qinghe Group on behalf of the Riders. As this news was directly published by Hope Media, it gained widespread coverage.
After this incident, Xu Ke was the only Rider that remained in the Qinghe Group. It was as though the two sides had fallen out.
Before this, the consortiums had already noticed the Riders were divided. As such, it seemed inevitable this would happen now.
However, the consortiums were still relatively cautious. A matter that was widely publicized like this might not be trustworthy.
Immediately after, the Riders led by Zhang Qingxi joined up with Wu Dingyuan and Wen Meng before disappearing into the wilderness. All of a sudden, the consortiums had their guards up. They were all afraid the Riders would launch a retaliation attack on them.
