Chapter 733 - Hey, that guy (1/2)

Under normal circumstances, assassinations were rarely used when the political arena was mature. If someone were discovered to have resorted to such methods, their political career would be tainted.

But it seemed that Wang Shengzhi was not afraid of being labeled with such infamy as he resorted to the most direct method to achieve his goals.

Of course, these assassination attempts were only made possible due to the existence of supernatural beings. If this were the past, how could it be that easy to achieve?

After the strength of the individual had surpassed a certain bottleneck, it would be very difficult to ensure the safety of leaders. This was also the reason why Qing Zhen moved into the military camp. He was more cautious than anyone else. Furthermore, he did not have any vices like Kong Erdong.

However, Ren Xiaosu was not particularly concerned about the conflict between the Kong Consortium and the Wang Consortium. He asked, “What about the rest of the intel?”

“Another piece of intel was provided by the middle-aged man standing to our 7 o’clock.” Wang Yun said, “I’m quite sure he’s from the Zhou Consortium, because I saw him during an operation. He said many of the businessmen on the Northwestern trade route are actually retired soldiers from the Wang Consortium. You should also know that the Wang Consortium has mandatory military service for its citizens. When it becomes necessary, everyone can be called up for military service. So he feels the Wang Consortium might harbor ill will against the Northwest.”

Ren Xiaosu nodded. He was wondering why the people working for the consortiums would betray their own organizations and supply intelligence to Wang Yun for 500,000 yuan. No matter how he thought about it, it seemed quite improbable.

But now, he finally realized these people had only supplied intel about other organizations. Their main motive was not only to obtain the black medicine but also to annoy the other organizations.

For example, the middle-aged man from the Zhou Consortium obviously wanted to sow discord between the Wang Consortium and Fortress 178.

In any case, there were no good intentions.

Wang Yun continued, “Another piece of intel regards the Qinghe Group. It was told to me by the young man standing on the left. He said Xu Ke’s likely to leave office within a year. Afterwards, Xu Zhi, the rising star of the Xu clan, will take over the Qinghe Group entirely. He said this matter might be directly related to the battle in Luoyang City.” Ren Xiaosu nodded nonchalantly. Although he had a very good relationship with the Riders, he did not care about their change in leadership

The two remaining pieces of intel regarded the mobilization of the Zhou Consortium and the Wang Consortium’s troops. Ren Xiaosu was even less concerned about this.

After Wang Yun finished sharing his intel, he suddenly looked at Ren Xiaosu. “Since we’re working together now, may I at least know what your name is?”

Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, “Sure, my name is merci.”

“Mercy?” Wang Yun was puzzled. He felt this name sounded a little strange.

Honestly, Wang Yun was unable to react for a while. He was wondering what kind of surname it was as he had never heard it before. He asked in a serious tone, “This isn’t your full name, is it? What’s your full name?”

Ren Xiaosu pondered things for a moment before saying, “My full name is merci beaucoup.”

Wang Yun was stunned. ‘If you fucking didn’t want to give your name, then so be it. You’re even trying to take advantage of me? What did you help me with that I have to say merci beaucoup to you for?!’

Even if you didn’t want to give your name, could you at least be a little more euphemistic and choose a more decent name?!

On that very night, everyone climbed onto the tree branches to sleep. As they were worried about the danger that might come at any time and it being a very cold and windy day, it was really difficult to fall asleep.

All except for Luo Lan, who was even snoring as he lay on the branches. This made it even more difficult for the others to get some sleep.

When Ren Xiaosu was keeping watch during the night, he stayed especially wary of that strange plant in case it attacked. However, nothing happened throughout the night.
