Chapter 795 - Black Robe (1/2)

The Trinity Institute convoy set up camp in town for the night before leaving the next morning.

Ren Xiaosu was more than willing to settle down in this town for another half a year to unlock all the weapons in the palace before leaving.

But reality was cruel. As there was not an infinite number of patients in a town, unless Ren Xiaosu went around chopping people up, basically all the patients had been treated.

So Wang Jing only planned to stay in town for one day. After that, they would have to head to the Kong Consortium for the medical exchange with their fellow doctors.

Ren Xiaosu did not want to leave. He insisted there was still fish that slipped through the net in this town that needed their treatment.

Wang Jing lamented emotionally that this was the first time in his decades of practice that he had heard someone describe patients as “fish that slipped through the net.”

But based on Ren Xiaosu’s fanatical attitude towards treating patients, he thought it was still understandable.

When they set off again, the others clearly became more friendly towards Ren Xiaosu. After all, when they attended to the patients yesterday, Ren Xiaosu took on almost half of the workload all by himself.

Initially, everyone thought they would be unusually busy yesterday. But in the end, they found themselves with nothing much to do at all by the afternoon.

Who would want to give the cold shoulder to a colleague who was more than happy to work? Everyone would rather give Ren Xiaosu compliments and let him take on more of the work.

Liang Ce was sitting in the backseat of Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin’s car. He exclaimed like a big boy who had not seen the world before, “These seats are made of genuine leather! Even the windows and seat controls are operated electronically! This is so awesome!”

Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, ‘Well, of course!‘ Wang Shengzhi had asked him to assassinate someone like Kong Erdong. Anyone else would probably ask Wang Shengzhi to pay an astronomical sum for that. But he did not request anything at all, so the other party had to afford him the highest form of treatment.

“I don’t quite understand something.” Ren Xiaosu started trying to pry for more information out of Liang Ce. “Don’t y’all know that the Kong Consortium is currently at war with the Pyro Company? Why do you still want to go to the Kong Consortium at a time like this?”

Liang Ce lamented, “We know that, but Elder Wang insisted on going. It’s always during this period that the medical exchange is held, and there’s nothing anyone can do to prevent it. I didn’t used to be on the list for the exchange, but someone more outstanding than me was unwilling to go, so I was put in as a replacement. I guess that’s also why Meng Nan is unhappy. But I don’t think it’ll be that dangerous. Stronghold 31, which we’re heading to, is in the core of the Kong Consortium.”

Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. “What does this have anything to do with Meng Nan?”

“Oh, a lot of people know that Meng Nan likes that person. That guy’s a family member of the Wang Consortium and comes from a rich family. And he always tops the ranking in school.” Liang Ce said bitterly, “If I were a girl, I would probably like such a guy as well.”

Yang Xiaojin glanced at Liang Ce through the rearview mirror as she drove. “If you didn’t listen to Ren Xiaosu’s terrible idea yesterday, you would probably still have some hope during this exchange.”

With that, Liang Ce felt even more bitter.

Liang Ce sighed and said, “I think I’m a little depressed.”

“Think?” Ren Xiaosu replied as he looked at the map, “You’re depressed for sure.”

Liang Ce was speechless.
