Chapter 760 Three promises

Wang Yun looked uncertain as he stood there. Everything had happened so quickly he could not tell what the other party’s intentions were. However, Wang Yun looked at the hard drive in his hand. All else aside, he had snatched this from Wang Wenyan with his own ability.

Wang Wenyan was someone who didn’t act if there was no incentive. If he took the effort to come all the way here, the information he was after must be very valuable!

Thinking of this, Wang Yun sighed. He had almost forgotten his original reason for coming to the Sacred Mountains.

Although he was smart, his combat strength was a lot weaker than Ren Xiaosu’s and the others’. This left Wang Yun a little unsure of his future plan.

Looking at the hard drive in hand, at least he would have something to answer to the higher-ups when he returned. As for whether he could become the director of the intelligence agency, that would depend on how important the information on this hard drive was.

However, Wang Yun still had some doubts. Wang Wenyan and the head of the Anjing House had given up the hard drive too easily, which made him a little uneasy. He suspected there were some problems with the hard drive.

But just as the Pyro Company had played along with Yang Anjing’s plans, she was not worried at all that Wang Yun would discard the hard drive even if there were really something suspicious about it.

Yang Anjing already knew about Wang Yun’s situation. If he left the Sacred Mountains empty-handed, he would not only fail to become the director of the intelligence agency, but he would also have to face the pursuit of his two competitors. His life would be in grave danger.

Just as Qing Shen had summarized, the Anjing House had never needed to worry that you would not play along if they wanted you in on the act.

Occasionally, Qing Shen even wondered if the head of the Anjing House was really a woman.

woman.

Wang Yun looked at the hard drive in his hand. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the Great Hoodwinker’s words in this moment of dilemma: the “Prosperous Northwest”!

There was a long silence.

Wang Yun looked towards the mountains in the distance and sighed. He could not possibly betray the Kong Consortium over some words the Great Hoodwinker told him.

He went to look for his subordinates and said, “Come with me. We’re leaving the Sacred Mountains now. Let’s go home!” With that, he departed from the mountain range without looking back. Whatever else happened in the Sacred Mountains would have nothing to do with him.

His subordinates looked at one another. They suddenly felt as though their director had come to a decision.

Ren Xiaosu did not enter the building after killing Chen Liu’er, because a small paper crane floated in front of him the moment Chen Liu’er died.

Ren Xiaosu had wanted to catch the paper crane. But when he remembered this paper crane was Yang Xiaojin’s aunt’s superpower, he pulled back embarrassedly. He even felt a little guilty as he wondered if Yang Anjing had realized he had caught several of her paper cranes.

When that paper crane flew to the back of a building, Ren Xiaosu followed it in deep thought. After turning a corner, Ren Xiaosu suddenly saw a young woman wearing a black combat uniform and a black cap standing in the shadows.

Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. So he had already met Yang Xiaojin’s aunt before. Back when he caught that paper crane outside Stronghold 61, she had suddenly appeared in Stronghold 61’s town as well.

This made Ren Xiaosu feel even guiltier. So it turned out she was there to capture him that time? However, she did not manage to do so because the storyteller had covered for him.

Yang Anjing stood in the shadow of the building and scrutinized Ren Xiaosu. She asked, “You were the one who caught the paper crane at Stronghold 61’s town, right? Where’s my paper crane?”

Ren Xiaosu gave an awkward laugh and said, “Hahaha, paper crane? What paper crane?”

“You know who I am.” Yang Anjing said in an affirmative tone, “If you didn’t, you would’ve prepared to fight me at any moment. After all, you’re one of the most famous people in the supernatural world.”

“No, no, I’m not,” Ren Xiaosu replied humbly with a hint of shyness.

“You should know that I don’t like you.” Yang Anjing said, “I arranged for Xiaojin to study at Qinghe University and deliberately kept your whereabouts from her. Actually, you don’t have to pretend like you respect me. I know you’re definitely unhappy about it.”

Ren Xiaosu slowly straightened his back and stopped smiling. “True, I think that what you did was wrong. What she chooses is entirely her own decision. Even if you’re her aunt, you shouldn’t be interfering.”

Yang Anjing laughed and applauded. “This should be the way the Stronghold Destroyer

acts.”

Ren Xiaosu muttered to himself, “How did I end up becoming the Stronghold Destroyer?” He thought for a moment before saying, “So, Aunt, what are you looking for me for?”

“Your shamelessness in addressing me as aunt does make you a little cuter,” Yang Anjing said.

“Just let me know if there is anything I can help with. You’re Xiaojin’s aunt after all. If you can give us your blessings, that would be the best, of course. I don’t wish to put her in a difficult position either.” Ren Xiaosu said.

“Alright, I have to leave as well. After this expedition to the Sacred Mountains is over, head to Stronghold 61. If you two help me do three things, I won’t object to your relationship.” Yang Anjing said, “I don’t intend to threaten you, so it’s fine even if you don’t come.”

After that, Yang Anjing turned around and left. Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu stood where he was and frowned. He wondered what Yang Anjing was planning

Ren Xiaosu’s impression of Yang Anjing was no longer that of an elder or woman. Instead, he saw her as a conspirator who played an important role in the power struggle in the Central Plains.

Should he go as she had requested? Ren Xiaosu felt he still had to discuss this with Yang Xiaojin.

At this moment, the entire research base of the Pyro Company seemed to have become a treasure trove. Everyone was tirelessly searching through the various buildings in hopes of digging out valuable information from them.

After Li Shentan and the others joined up with Ren Xiaosu outside, Qing Shen led everyone up a small path and quickly made their way out of the Sacred Mountains.

When Ren Xiaosu did not see Yan Liuyuan around, he asked anxiously, “Where’s the No. 001 Experimental?”

But when Luo Lan explained it to Ren Xiaosu, he realized this expedition to the Sacred Mountains was just a ploy by the Anjing House and the Pyro Company.

This left Ren Xiaosu at a loss for words for a while. He had wasted so much time and risked his life to come here only to discover that it had all been a farce.

But he was here to look for Yan Liuyuan. Even if it was a ploy, how dare they delay him from looking for Yan Liuyuan?

In that instant, Ren Xiaosu had an urge to destroy the Sacred Mountains…

Ren Xiaosu looked at Yang Xiaojin and quietly told her about his encounter with Yang Anjing. “Do you think we should go?”

Yang Xiaojin thought for a moment before saying, “It’s your decision. You don’t have to choose against your conscience because of me. No one can make use of me to threaten you, because I won’t change my attitude towards you based on how they treat you.” Ren Xiaosu was a little emotional. The more Yang Xiaojin considered his feelings, the more he did not want to put her in a difficult position.
