Later, Ren Zhong went to see Yang Bingzhong and received some life experience guidance from Mr. Yang. He also mentioned that he would consider putting all his fixed assets out for sale.
After finishing his chat with Mr. Yang, Ren Zhong ran into Tang Shuying on his way downstairs.
Tang Shuying, as usual, communicated with him, informing him about Yang Bingzhong distributing money.
But this time, instead of brushing past her, Ren Zhong approached her with a roguish smile, grabbed her waist, and gave her butt a firm squeeze.
"Captain Tang, are you free? Want to come over to my place?"
Tang Shuying was momentarily stunned, but quickly replaced her expression with a seductive smile.
She remembered.
Six days ago, she and Ren Zhong had a "fierce battle" for two hours at Ju Qingmengâs villa.
So, in their current roles, she and Ren Zhong were acting as a lustful couple.
But she knew Ren Zhong wasnât a lecher.
Therefore, he must have something important to discuss, given his current attitude.
"I... Iâm free, Captain Ren, donât be too rough. Iâm a bit scared of you."
As she sidled closer to Ren Zhong, Tang Shuying said nervously, also casting a glance of help at the camera hanging in the corner.
Sure enough, Yang Bingzhongâs voice rang from her wrist watch, "Ren Zhong lost a team member today. Heâs not feeling well, keep him entertained, donât come over tonight."
The "disappointment" on Tang Shuyingâs face flickered away, she sighed "helplessly," "Okay."
...
Two hours later, Tang Shuying stumbled out of Ren Zhongâs manor, weak and wobbly as she climbed onto the jet ski to float back to her teamâs manor.
Her face was flushed, and she hadnât quite recovered.
When she returned, the rest of the team was dining outside.
Seeing her enter, they all stood up.
Tang Shuying feigned exhaustion, waving her hand weakly and saying, "You all eat, I have no appetite."
Once she went back to her room, a brawny Mechanical Warrior ground his teeth and said, "Damn it, Ren Zhong is such a scumbag, itâs disgusting. What on earth did he give Mr. Yang to turn him against the captain like this! Damn! Iâm going to settle the score with Ren Zhong!"
The others quickly advised him, finally managing to hold him back.
Back in her room, Tang Shuying sat in front of the mirror, looking at her own face with confusion.
She was emotionally conflicted.
If everything went as Ren Zhong said, in a few days, she would lose this face forever, assuming a new identity, becoming a shadow hidden behind him, never showing her true self.
At the time, Ren Zhong had her place her wrist watch in the living room refrigerator.
After returning to the room, Ren Zhong told her that if the plan succeeded, Yang Bingzhong would invite a Telekinesis Master to assess her.
Even if Ren Zhong acted early and bought off the Telekinesis Master, the Business Association would then send a Level Eight Telekinesis Master, who couldnât be bribed.
She definitely couldnât hide then.
Tang Shuying clenched her teeth, "I can die. Only dead people can keep secrets."
Ren Zhong shook his head and said, "In some ways, death is an escape. I know your mind is full of revenge for your husband and child, and you think once youâve avenged them, you can give up your life anytime. Right?"
Tang Shuying was taken aback, "Isnât that so? Isnât that the âmeâ you need?"
Ren Zhong was silent for a moment, "At first it was, I really only intended to use your thirst for revenge. But now, I see you differently."
Tang Shuying: "Oh?"
"Captain Tang, have you considered if killing citizens or other wanderers without cause is a crime, then is Yang Bingzhongâs behavior not a crime? Why can he secretly mine Alien Ore under the internetâs surveillance for so many years? Have you thought about these questions? Is Yang Bingzhong truly your only enemy?"
"Who else could there be?" Tang Shuying, confused for a long time, simply asked, "Captain Ren, first tell me, what should I do?"
"After completing the first two steps, add a third, where you fake your death in the rear. You need to act convincingly."
Tang Shuying was startled, "Iâm worried I wonât do it well, that someone will see through it."
Ren Zhong shook his head, pulled out a large map, and pointed to a spot, "Here, there will be three gathering Fourth Level Laser Pythons. Under normal circumstances, these pythons are only Fourth Level. Following normal steps, your team will fight while retreating, covering the convoyâs successful withdrawal. But if someone uses a Three-type Radiation Bomb on the pythons, it will trigger their berserk, making them ignite life force in extreme states, unleashing Fifth Level power."
"At that time, as the strongest professional in the team, a seasoned Blast Master, it would be very reasonable for you to stay behind and finish off with an oversized Blast Trap."
"Youâll be blown away by your own Blast Trap. Remember, you must fly northwest. Afterward, I will send people from the Qi Mountain tribe to meet you. I will also arrange a permanent change to your appearance and give you another temporary wandererâs identity. From then on, you wonât be called Tang Shuying, youâll be Ying. Tang Shuying will have truly died, yet Ying will still live. As long as you continue to survive, one day Iâll tell you who your real enemy is."
Tang Shuying was stunned for a long time.
She didnât know how Yang Bingzhong would plan the route.
But Ren Zhong not only knew but had made a specific plan in advance.
This was something she was aware of before.
Although she was confused, Tang Shuying had already decided to follow the plan.
As long as Ren Zhongâs estimated route was correct, Yang Bingzhong would certainly die.
But it turned out, he went even further, even planning out what type, quantity, and how to change the state of the Ruined Beast to encounter along the way.
Is he crazy?
She really wanted to ask, Ren Zhong, are you even human?
Or, are you not just joking with me?
She wanted to raise some personal doubts, but Ren Zhong smiled and opened a video.
"Today I had a sparring session with Shi Xuan, the leader of the Qi Mountain tribe. Watch."
The video began to play.
"Mr. Ren, back then you were wearing..."
"Yes."
...
"Heâs not in his prime state."
...
Shi Xuan: "Wait. I think we should focus on..."
Ren Zhong: "Focus on melee..."
...
"...the world of geniuses is beyond your understanding."
The video ended.
Ren Zhong stood up, "Captain Tang, my wisdom is beyond your imagination. Iâm not discussing this with you but informing you of my plan. Of course, you can refuse. But if you want revenge, you must listen to me."
After pausing, Ren Zhong threatened candidly, "If you dare ensure success by escorting the convoy to Chromium Carbon Town. Then Iâll break my word and hand the Alien Ore back to Yang Bingzhong."
Tang Shuying: "But if you do, youâll also..."
"I donât care."
Ren Zhong spread his hands.
Tang Shuying was dumbfounded.
Although she had a million doubts, she found herself unable to refuse.
"Alright."
Having no choice, Tang Shuying finally agreed.
Standing by the window, watching Tang Shuying leave, Ren Zhong exhaled a long breath.
This woman, she doesnât even know how resolute she is.
She seems somewhat mediocre.
But behind her mediocrity lies greatness.
