239 Ren Xiaosus plan (1/2)
As they drove down the mountain, Ren Xiaosu realized Chen Wudi was a little sullen. Actually, whenever such betrayals happened in the past, Chen Wudi's inner world would always be rocked to the core.
He was like a naïve, kind, and innocent child who was more than happy to help others. But slowly, he discovered that the kindness he had for this world was just like a triangle within his heart. Whenever this triangle turned, it would hurt his heart and cause him a lot of anguish.
Until the triangle's edges were milled round.
Ren Xiaosu did not try to enlighten Chen Wudi anymore. He had to experience for himself his inner demons and think it through before he would be able to step out of his predicament.
The military transport truck did not head straight for town after it arrived at the bottom of the mountain. The journey to town would only take three hours, or even two and a half hours if they drove a little faster. They still had about two hours or so now to burn.
Ren Xiaosu took them by another route, to which Li Qingzheng wondered, ”What are we doing?”
Ren Xiaosu gave him a look. ”You'll know when we get there.”
On the side of the road, Ren Xiaosu had Li Qingzheng set up an ambush. He also requested that Li Qingzheng change into his Li Consortium military uniform and have his Office of Special Investigations identification with him.
At this moment, a military transport truck drove over from afar. Ren Xiaosu calmly walked to the middle of the road and blocked the path of the vehicle.
When the people in it saw Ren Xiaosu in his Li Consortium military uniform, they came to a stop. This truck was filled with the full platoon of another outpost. Their platoon commander jumped out and said with a fawning smile, ”Sir, what is the matter?”
Ren Xiaosu flashed his ID and said, ”The Office of Special Investigations is conducting an investigation. I suspect that there's a spy in the truck. Get everyone out.”
The platoon commander was startled. He hurriedly claimed innocence and cried out, ”Sir, could there be a misunderstanding? We're only soldiers of the private army.”
”Don't fucking bullshit me!” Ren Xiaosu said with a cold expression, ”Don't tell me you're the spy?”
The platoon commander immediately shut his mouth and beckoned for the other soldiers to get out of the truck. ”Hurry up and get out. Cooperate with this officer's investigation.”
After the group of soldiers stepped out of the vehicle, Ren Xiaosu asked, ”Who still has family back in town?”
A man raised his hand weakly. ”Sir, my family is still in town.”
Ren Xiaosu said to that platoon commander, ”It's him, come with me!”
Li Qingzheng led a group of soldiers over and tied that man up before taking him back to their own truck.
Li Qingzheng was startled when he realized that Ren Xiaosu's so-called plan was to actually kidnap someone into their group!
Actually, the Li Consortium was only worried that there would be deserters. As long as they showed up with a full-strength platoon of 30 soldiers, they would definitely not say anything about it. However, Li Qingzheng never expected that Ren Xiaosu would come up with something like that!
How ruthless!
But better you than me! As if Li Qingzheng and the others cared about the life and death of another platoon. In these times, it was already great to survive. It didn't matter how they did it!
When the platoon commander saw the uniforms of the soldiers beside Li Qingzheng, he felt that something was wrong. Why were some of them dressed in casual wear and others dressed in the uniform of the private army?
The platoon commander asked suspiciously, ”Sir, are your men in the private army?”
Ren Xiaosu hesitated for a moment. ”That's right, I've been hiding with the private troops for a very long time to find the spy!”
The platoon commander did not dare say anything. After all, the Office of Special Investigations had a reputation. Without any blood relations to the Li Consortium, no one would dare to offend the Office of Special Investigations.
Ren Xiaosu cast him a glance before saying to Li Qingzheng, ”Set off!”
