Chapter 150: Lunatic

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

Looking at the situation, this escape route should have been planned by Luo Lan and his men. The only thing that puzzled Ren Xiaosu was why such an important figure of the Qing Consortium like Luo Lan would be so familiar with the sewer system of the Li Consortium’s stronghold.

Could it be that the Qing Consortium had planted many spies inside this stronghold? Or could it be that the Qing Consortium had ideas about the Li Consortium since a long time ago?

Yang Xiaojin took out a spotting scope from her pocket and passed it to Ren Xiaosu. Ren Xiaosu was startled. “Do you think I’m your spotter? Keep dreaming.”

“Distance.”

“…651 meters.”

“Wind speed.”

“Half value, 0.4 meters per second.”

For a sniper, there were three types of wind 1: Full value, half value, and no value.

A full value wind meant it would affect the bullet’s trajectory. Such winds would come from 2, 3, 4, and 8, 9, 10 o’clock. But for wind coming from 1, 5, 7, and 11 o’clock, the wind’s effect on the bullet would be halved, thus being referred to as half-value wind. No-value wind was just as its name suggested. It did not have any effect on the bullet’s trajectory. Such winds would blow from 6 and 12 o’clock.

As Ren Xiaosu finished speaking, he watched Yang Xiaojin make a rapid calculation of the compensation required for the shot. Ren Xiaosu wondered, “Do you intend to kill Luo Lan?”

With a loud bang, Yang Xiaojin answered Ren Xiaosu’s question. The unexpected sound of the gunfire cracked through the night sky and nearly made Ren Xiaosu jump.

He looked at where Luo Lan was and discovered that Yang Xiaojin had not hit him. Instead, the shot hit the curbside off-road vehicle Luo Lan and his men had prepared.

Did she miss?

A moment later, the vehicle exploded. Ren Xiaosu realized Yang Xiaojin had not missed. She was aiming for the off-road vehicle’s gas tank all along and had even used an incendiary bullet to do so.

Only this special type bullet was capable of igniting a gas tank, and no sniper would be so bored as to use incendiary bullets to snipe individual soldiers.

Luo Lan, who had yet to reach the vehicle, was furious. Who the fuck did that? He was so close to getting in the vehicle and making their escape, but it ended up getting blown up by someone instead! Who could be lunatic enough to do something like that?! Without a vehicle, how were they going to get away?! But he did not hesitate. Knowing that the noise here would quickly attract the Li Consortium’s people, he decisively led Tang Zhou and the others back into the sewers.

Yang Xiaojin stowed her rifle swiftly as Ren Xiaosu watched helplessly. He said, “You came out at this hour of the night just to destroy Luo Lan’s vehicle and make things difficult for them?”

Yang Xiaojin gave him a look. “That was so fun.”

‘Fun?! What was so fun about that, you crazy woman!’ Ren Xiaosu watched as the Li Consortium’s troops started heading over here from afar to encircle the area. It was at this time that Yang Xiaojin smiled and said, “Good luck.”

A door then opened up in the shadows beside Yang Xiaojin. She held the hand that reached out of the Shadow Door and disappeared from Ren Xiaosu’s sight.

That hand… was probably Luo Xinyu’s, right?

Ren Xiaosu did not feel that good anymore. Again?!

Yang Xiaojin was not only making things difficult for Luo Lan and his men. After she revealed their location by firing that shot, she also implicated Ren Xiaosu as well!

Right then, Ren Xiaosu heard someone shout, “There’s a sniper atop the bank!”

Hur hur, how fucking fun!

He immediately turned around and climbed down the building. If he didn’t leave now, he would get surrounded by the Li Consortium in no time!

…

When Ren Xiaosu arrived back at the shop, he was drenched in sweat. He had sprinted all the way back here. Even with his current fitness, he still found it quite unbearable.

But he did not go in through the front door. Instead, he jumped into the backyard from the roof.

Ren Xiaosu discovered Wang Fugui and the others were still waiting for him out in the yard. Yan Liuyuan was the first one to come and circle around Ren Xiaosu. He was only able to set his mind at ease after confirming that Ren Xiaosu did not get injured. “Bro, what happened?”

“The Pyro Company clashed with some supernatural beings. The Pyro Company’s intentions are indeed bad. A supernatural being went there to sell his blood but fell into their trap,” Ren Xiaosu explained to them, simplifying the events.

Jiang Wu, who was standing nearby, did not say anything at all. As someone who had fled to Stronghold 109 with Ren Xiaosu, she figured out that Ren Xiaosu was not a normal person at the very least.

Moreover, since Chen Wudi claimed Ren Xiaosu was his master, then the master of a supernatural being should also be a supernatural being.

In reality, Jiang Wu did not know much about supernatural beings. She could only logic out the situation.

Ren Xiaosu looked at Jiang Wu and said, “Ms. Jiang, there shouldn’t be any danger around here. Why don’t I have Chen Wudi send you back first.”

“Mhm.” Jiang Wu nodded.

But at this moment, someone knocked on the door to the store. Ren Xiaosu frowned. The store had been closed for two hours now, so who could be knocking on the door? He went up to the door and peeked through the peephole and discovered that the people outside were Luo Lan and his men. Ren Xiaosu opened the door. He looked strangely at Luo Lan. “Why do you smell so bad?”

Luo Lan led Tang Zhou and the others into the store. But he seemingly did not want to tell the truth. “I tripped. Bring out your black medicine, I have someone here who’s injured.”

Ren Xiaosu pretended to ask, “What injuries? I heard an explosion in the stronghold just now. Could it be related to y’all?”

“Don’t spout nonsense.” Luo Lan nearly jumped. “We just tripped over!”

In fact, Luo Lan also knew what he said would not deceive anyone. For someone as smart as Ren Xiaosu, how could he possibly believe the lies he was making up?

But Luo Lan had no other choice. He couldn’t admit to it, right?

Ren Xiaosu was amused. He purposely said to spite Luo Lan, “Eh, did y’all walk here? Where’s your car?”

Luo Lan felt persecuted. “I sent it in for maintenance.”

“What does maintenance mean?” Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.

“Things like cars require maintenance after a period of driving.” Luo Lan gave him a look. “You don’t even know something like that?”

“I’ve never driven a car before.” Ren Xiaosu chuckled.

Then Luo Lan gave a look to Ren Xiaosu. “Don’t speak a word about what happened tonight. Otherwise, I’ll reveal that Chen Wudi is a supernatural being.”

“Don’t you worry,” Ren Xiaosu said in irritation as he took the black medicine out. He scrutinized the unconscious person and wondered if it might have been one of the two supernatural beings involved in tonight’s incident.

Luo Lan did not dare bring this supernatural being to a hospital, so he had to come over to Ren Xiaosu’s place. The two of them had dealt with each other before. Even though Luo Lan was pissed off at Ren Xiaosu, he still found it more reliable to find Ren Xiaosu at this time.

Suddenly suspicious, Luo Lan asked, “Ren Xiaosu, why are you drenched in sweat? Were you outside just now?”

“No.” Ren Xiaosu pointed at the bicycle in the yard and said, “I was just learning how to ride a bike. Ms. Jiang came over specifically to teach us.”

“Oh.” Luo Lan nodded. “Ms. Jiang, you came over to teach them how to cycle?”

Jiang Wu smiled and nodded. “Yes, they’ve never ridden a bike before.”

Jiang Wu acted very natural, and there were no signs she was putting on an act.
