A mocking glint flashed in Rong Zhaonan's cold eyes: "He Su isn't such a careless person. She always likes to play dirty tricks. How could she make such a low-level mistake?"
He chuckled lightly: "Either the Xiang brothers are unhappy with He Su secretly directing them from behind the scenes and want to expose her to force her to join them; or they want me and her to fight each other to the death."
Chen Chen said with a grim expression, "They're all bad news. What are we going to do now?"
Rong Zhaonan smiled slightly: "The biggest gain today is knowing that He Su and the Xiang family are colluding. Now that we know the enemy's strategic goals, we can do the opposite and defeat them one by one."
The enemy's lack of unity is their weakness to exploit.
He paused, then suddenly remembered something: "Send someone to keep an eye on the north side and see when she can freely enter and leave the school."
Chen Chen was a little puzzled: "Captain, don't you usually ignore them?"
Rong Xiangdong and Rong Chaobei are both He Su's children, but they have never had any contact with each other.
Rong Zhaonan narrowed his eyes and looked out the window: "I'm willing to pay attention to it now."
That night, Rong Chaobei had something very important to say to him.
And it must be related to He Su, otherwise that skinny girl wouldn't have acted so strangely—
She slapped herself in frustration and pain.
Rong Chaobei's self-loathing reminded him of his teenage years, when he felt trapped in a cage, fighting against the whole world.
He was just acting aggressively and charging around recklessly. Unless you kill him, you have to kill a thousand enemies first, even if you are injured eight hundred yourself!
Rong Chaobei's approach was more subtle—she was attacking herself.
Chen Chen didn't know what his captain was planning, but he couldn't stop people from caring about his own sister, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find out for you within three days!"
The two drove to a remote town on the outskirts of Beijing.
There's a reservoir nearby, and the town is quite lively; the local commune is located there.
As soon as they arrived, someone came to meet them.
“They’re in the yard, the brothers are all keeping an eye on them,” a plainclothes man in a gray shirt carrying a load said in a low voice as he passed by them.
Rong Zhaonan nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Then, he led Chen Chen directly to a courtyard on the street corner.
The gate to the courtyard was closed. Rong Zhaonan stood not far away, not in a hurry to knock on the door, but looking at the telephone pole not far away.
There were two men wearing power company vests pulling power lines on the utility pole. When they saw Rong Zhaonan coming over, they made a gesture.
Rong Zhaonan narrowed his eyes, then suddenly walked over and knocked on the door: "Is this Granny Liu's house? I'm the meter reader from the commune. Your electricity bill is underpaid and needs to be paid."
As soon as he spoke, dogs inside started barking wildly: "Woof woof woof—!"
A moment later, a middle-aged man in his fifties opened the door, cursing and swearing: "All these years I've been away from home, you've been bullying my mother, a lonely old woman, taking advantage of her blindness. What old lady needs so much electricity? I'm back, and you still dare to..."
As soon as he opened the door, he saw two tall figures standing in the doorway.
The middle-aged man froze instantly; a somewhat grotesque scar ran across his nose, and the scar itself trembled.
He immediately turned around and was about to close the door.
"Bang!" He had barely made a move when Chen Chen kicked him hard in the chest.
The middle-aged man seemed to have some skill; he dodged in an instant, avoiding Chen Chen's feet.
He turned and ran nimbly, but before he had taken two steps, a tremendous force suddenly burst forth from his back.
The middle-aged man was kicked flying.
He screamed and crashed into a water vat, falling to the ground.
The water in the tank spilled all over the ground instantly.
The dog that was originally guarding the house was so frightened by the fierce-looking people that it didn't dare to rush over and just barked with its tail between its legs.
The middle-aged man was soaking wet and trembling with pain, yet he struggled desperately, trying to run away.
But the next moment, his hair was grabbed by a long, slender, fair hand, and then a sharp pain shot through his scalp as his head was pulled up.
"Qian Laoyuan, it's been a long time. Do you still remember me?" A cold male voice suddenly rang out above the middle-aged man's head.
Qian Laoyuan was forced to raise his head, his water-filled features contorted in pain as he looked at the handsome, cold face before him.
His pupils contracted: "No, I don't remember..."
Rong Zhaonan chuckled lightly: "At your age, you can't keep quiet. Let me remind you, ten years ago, that night, also near a reservoir, not long after it rained, next to a wet puddle..."
He paused, then grabbed Qian Laoyuan by the neck with his other hand, ignoring his terrified and painful struggles, and lifted him up by the neck—
"That night, the first time we met, I fell into a trap you and your brothers, who were skilled hunters, had dug. Then, the next day, you all disappeared, and I never found you again."
