Chapter 645: Great Detective Xia Rensheng

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Why did Bennett chose to hold the negotiations in the wilderness? Because, it would be easier for them to escape if the talks fell through, and it prevented Class B’s like Howard from destroying their headquarters.
But what happened? Their headquarters had been destroyed even before the negotiation started…
Bennett had an easily irritable temper as well. He sent out a message. Whoever was able to find and kill the culprit, he would hold talks with first!
This was incredibly embarrassing. EO was not the only organization in this country. Within two hours, the news that EO headquarters had almost been destroyed by a small mountain got out. If they could not find the culprit, Bennett would have to live the rest of his life in shame.
Not only did he try to find the culprit, he even roped in the big families to help out. But the big families were very shrewd and would not pointlessly engage in this exercise in trying to find a needle in a haystack.
It was obvious that some unknown organization had come prepared and they wanted to take this chance to sabotage the deal. What if they were very strong?
Some organizations were not invited, but this did not mean that they were not powerful. Some examples included the Deities and a newly established organization in Australia.
The large organizations were not in a panic. If they could not find the culprit, would Bennett then be unwilling to hold talks with any of them? Bennett was probably seeing how long the organizations were willing to wait.
Everyone agreed that EO was the middle man and a buffer for the large organizations who did not want to have any direct conflict with each other. Instead, they wanted to peacefully solve the issue as far as they could. But if this middleman was not qualified, then they would work together to change their middleman and restart the negotiations.
The large organizations decided to wait and see what would happen.
Xia Rensheng and Li Ganyu heaved a sigh of relief. This way, they could wait for the assistance team to rush over. But they still did not know the culprit behind this. What was their objective?
Xia Rensheng sent information on the situation back to China. This information would eventually reach Nie Ting. But what made Xia Rensheng surprised was that whenever it came to this group of people, Heavenly King Nie would choose to silently observe.
He did not even bother to give Xia Rensheng a reply, on whether his decision was right or not. He also did not use the information to help them find out who the culprit was…
When they returned to the villa, Xia Rensheng suddenly thought of something. He brought Liu Fan and the rest up to Lu Shu’s room and knocked on the door.
Lu Shu sleepily opened the door. Xia Rensheng’s expression darkened. “We are out on a task. Everyone took a risk to do their best for the Heavenly Network. Is it alright for you to stay at the villa and sleep?”
Although Xia Rensheng said so, he had cleared a doubt in his heart. When the EO headquarters were attacked, Lu Shu was coincidentally not around. This made Xia Rensheng recall an anime called Detective Conan. When he watched the anime, he could not help but think that all the characters were stupid. Every time they were solving a case, did no one realize that Conan had disappeared?
Thus, when Lu Shu disappeared, he immediately suspected that he was the culprit. But it seemed like his suspicions were wrong…
How could a minor secret practitioner have the ability to do such a thing? Even if Lu Shu did it, there should be people chasing him now.
Xia Rensheng would never know that no one, except Class A’s, would be able to chase Lu Shu, who was very determined to run away.
Liu Fan laughed coldly. “You may be stronger, but so what? Turns out you’re a coward! Do you dare to go out of this villa?”
“Of course.” Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He said, “What’s so scary about that?”
As he spoke, Lu Shu went down and walked out of the villa. No one knew where he was headed…
The people behind him looked at one another helplessly. What was happening? Did you really go out? The problem was, negotiations had been cancelled! Where were you going?!
Taking into consideration everything that had happened, it was hard for everyone to hold a good impression of Lu Shu. The impression of Lu Shu was that of a cowardly secret practitioner with no moral principles. Lin Ganyu even felt that Liu Fan was cuter than Lu Shu…
Lu Shu wandered on the streets before finally walking into a grocery store selling cigarettes and alcohol. He took a box of cigarettes and asked, “How much?”
“Six dollars,” said the boss.
Lu Shu thought about it and said, “Give me a discount of 2 dollars and 33 cents. If it is cheaper, I will take it.”
The boss was a local citizen of Chinese origin. There were many of these people in Africa. It was normal to encounter them.
The boss lowered his head and did not make eye contact with Lu Shu. He passed a bag to him. “I can’t reduce the price any further. How about this?”
Lu Shu took the bag and walked out without even looking at the contents of the bag. As he walked out, someone pulled on his sleeve. The boss looked at him and said, “Pay up. Boss Nie has told me that you have to pay.”
Lu Shu’s expression darkened. “How much?”
Nie Ting was weird. Why did you have to annoy me here?!
“One dollar,” the boss said with a laugh. “It’s hard to do business with stiff competition here. Please give me some business.”
Lu Shu made sure that there was no one around before fishing out a trident and pointing it at the boss. “I’ll give you one more chance to rephrase your sentence.”
The boss was confused.
“From Zhao Yongchen’s distress, +399!”
Zhao Yongchen was dumbfounded. “Heavenly King Nie said so…”
“Let go of me,” Lu Shu said calmly.
Zhao Yongchen smacked his lips and let go of Lu Shu’s sleeve. “It’s just one dollar…”
“Are you that poor?” Lu Shu kept his trident. “What else did Nie Ting say?”
Zhao Yongchen said, “I am in charge of intelligence in South Africa. If you have any problems, just come and find me. The entire African information network will be in your hands. This was the message Heavenly King Nie wanted me to pass to you. Let us do our best to obtain the minerals.”
Lu Shu was unhappy. Why was he tasked with such a heavy responsibility? And yet, he was being charged as well? Are you out of your mind?
“Do you know who I am?” Lu Shu asked. He still had Li Teng’s appearance.
Zhao Yongchen shook his head. “I’m not supposed to know. I don’t know anything. I’m just relying on code words.”
Lu Shu turned and left. Zhao Yongchen chased behind him and said softly, “How should we assist you?”
“No need,” said Lu Shu. He did not want the intelligence personnel, whose jobs were already very tough, to take risks with him. This was also his original intention in rejecting the position of Heavenly King.
But Zhao Yongchen did not give up. He asked, “Then what about the ores?”
“Let’s go with the flow.”
“From Zhao Yongchen’s distress, +199!”
Zhao Yongchen did not know who Lu Shu was. He also did not know what tasks Lu Shu had completed earlier. He just felt that this was the first time, control of the entire African information network had been passed onto someone else without any conditions.
But… he did not seem reliable at all!
