Chapter 992: The Backstory

But Hu Zheng just dealt with it. It was obvious that Liu Xiaojue was not so easy to fool. A complex look of heaviness and relief flashed in his eyes, but he pursed his lips and didn't say much. He just nodded and agreed to An Ran's arrangement.

"Although you have helped us in Baihua City a lot in this matter, I still want to ask you today, Xiao Jue, what is your relationship with those people who kidnapped Fatty? You said at the time that you also participated in kidnapping Fatty."

When An Ran asked this question, she was still smiling, which made her look gentle and considerate, but there was also scrutiny in her eyes.

"They hired me and asked me to help kidnap someone, and I agreed."

Liu Xiaojue lowered his eyes and remained standing while speaking. His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, neither sincere nor treacherous. But just as he finished speaking, he heard Hu Zheng explaining:

"After you kidnapped Fatty, you came to Baihua City and found out that the mayor of Baihua City was An Ran, and her husband was your former comrade-in-arms Zhan Lian, so you decided to turn from evil to good and help me save Fatty?"

The rest of the story was already told by Hu Zheng, who had a simple mind, so Liu Xiaojue didn't say anything. He remained silent, letting Hu Zheng happily come forward. The two brothers patted Liu Xiaojue on the shoulder and laughed:

"Did I really guess right? You did the right thing, Xiao Jue! You saved my life. From now on, you and I are brothers. We will go through fire and water together. No problem."

He has now started to call Liu Xiaojue "Xiao Jue", with a sense of heroic spirit as if they were exchanging business cards and becoming friends who would live and die together. Liu Xiaojue was stunned when he heard this, and was somewhat surprised that Hu Zheng was so straightforward and generous.

Idiot! An Ran cursed Hu Zheng in her heart. If this person wanted to make up a story, this kind of storyline would be the simplest and clearest. Even Hu Zheng could guess the subsequent development. It was weird no matter how you looked at it.

But there is no guarantee that the matter is just that simple. In short, Liu Xiaojue is a person who cannot be ignored.

After asking about Liu Xiaojue's situation after the end of the world, An Ran learned that all of Liu Xiaojue's family members had died. He didn't know whether it was true or not, so he didn't investigate. Seeing that it was already noon, he said goodbye to Liu Xiaojue. An Ran smiled and said:

"I have something else to do today. The fat guy has been tied up for a few days and just woke up when I left the city. I have to go see him later. Xiao Jue, you go ahead and do your thing. I'm leaving now."

"Sister-in-law, take care!"

"Go slowly, go slowly, go slowly, Anran!"

Liu Xiaojue and Hu Zheng spoke together and escorted An Ran out of the tent. An Ran stood outside the tent, turned around, frowned at Hu Zheng who seemed to have no intention of leaving, and asked: "You're not leaving?"

"Let me talk to Xiao Jue again!"

Hu Zheng smiled and waved goodbye to An Ran, causing An Ran to sigh secretly. He then left with his baby Xiao Mint and two bodyguards.

According to Liu Xiaojue, he, Zhan Lian, Luo Feifan, and a man named Lao Mao rushed out from the military area and separated at the east, south, west and north forks in the road. Liu Xiaojue went north, Luo Feifan went east, and Zhan Lian and Lao Mao went south.

After Liu Xiaojue arrived in the north, he had been looking for his relatives and girlfriend. There were fewer people who turned into zombies in the north than in the south. Liu Xiaojue's family didn't lose many people in the beginning, and his girlfriend was still alive, so he stayed in the north.
