Chapter 680: Five little quails
When Ren Xiaosu saw the Great Hoodwinker’s bright smile, he was a little at a loss for words.
It had crossed his mind before that he might bump into Luo Lan and Zhou Qi. After all, Luo Lan was still strutting around the Wang Consortium’s territory that was not far from here.
He had also thought he might encounter Li Shentan as well. After all, that guy always enjoyed a good commotion.
But Ren Xiaosu had not expected to meet the Great Hoodwinker here.
It seemed that all the people in the room were waiting for the Anjing House members to appear before setting off for the Sacred Mountains together.
Ren Xiaosu pulled the Great Hoodwinker out the door and whispered, "What are you doing here? Don’t you know that this place is very dangerous?"
The Great Hoodwinker chuckled and said, "This is my main job. Now that something so big has happened in the Central Plains, I have to do some intelligence gathering for Fortress 178, right?"
Then he looked at Yang Xiaojin. "You must be Ms. Yang Xiaojin, right? As expected, your extraordinary classiness makes you really compatible with our future commander. Ms. Yang, are you interested in settling down in Fortress 178? We’ll allocate free housing for you."
The moment the Great Hoodwinker saw Yang Xiaojin, he immediately had an idea. Now that Wang Fugui was already committed to working on the trade route business with Fortress 178, if he could also convince Yang Xiaojin to go to the Northwest as well, could Ren Xiaosu still get away?
Yang Xiaojin looked at Ren Xiaosu. "Future commander?"
"That’s right." The Great Hoodwinker beamed and said, "Doesn’t that sound really impressive? After Commander Zhang retires, he’ll take over as the commander of our Fortress 178. Now that you know this, don’t you want to go to the Northwest even more?"
Honestly, Yang Xiaojin really did not expect Ren Xiaosu’s current status in the Northwest to have gotten so prominent. She grinned at Ren Xiaosu. "I’ve never heard you mention this before."
"Why should I bring that up? He’s just kidding you," Ren Xiaosu said.
When he said that, Yang Xiaojin immediately understood. It was no wonder the Great Hoodwinker was being so attentive towards him. So it turned out Ren Xiaosu had still not agreed yet.
If it was anyone else, they would probably be too excited to even sleep. That was a force that controlled the entire Northwestern region, after all. Besides, if it were anyone else that got chosen by Fortress 178 to be their future commander, they would surely be bragging about it constantly in the presence of any girls, as though they were afraid no one would know about it.
However, Ren Xiaosu was not like that. He did not mention it, nor boast about it to Yang Xiaojin. He was just different from the others.
But Ren Xiaosu was more concerned about other matters at the moment. He said to the Great Hoodwinker, "I feel that the Pyro Company might’ve already prepared a backup plan this time. It might look like a one-off response against the Anjing House’s operation, but I somehow feel that the Pyro Company is doing this to eliminate the Anjing House, their long-term adversary. I have my reasons for going, but you don’t, so I suggest that you stay put here."
