A convoy consisting entirely of SUVs drove along a country road, the sides of the vehicles splattered with mud from the harsh environment and days of travel.

The vehicle in the middle was the most unique, because the driver was a child who looked like a junior high student. The boy drove while looking in the rearview mirror, his smile ingratiating as he said, "Sister Lu, it's so refreshing to work with you. Dozens of Night Watch remnants, you wiped them all out in a flash."

"It has nothing to do with me. It was all Mr.'s proper deployment."

Li Lu looked haggard, and the days of travel had taken a toll on her. After all, her injuries hadn't fully healed, but there weren't many people she could use right now, and she understood Mr.'s difficulties.

"Anyway, following you is better than following Number 2. That rotten seed only knows how to report me. Last time I went back, I hadn't even entered the house before Number 8 chased me out with a big knife. If I hadn't run fast, I'd only be able to drive for you with one hand today." Mentioning this matter, Number 13 was full of grievances, but he couldn't beat Number 2 or Number 8. He positioned himself as a strategist, the second smartest in Deep Crimson after Number 4.

Li Lu couldn't help but smile wryly, "Then can't you control your mouth and not speak ill of Number 8 behind her back?"

Hearing this, Number 13 became agitated, "You think I want to? I just can't help it. She's such a crazy woman, a dismemberment maniac, a sadist. I worry about her. Tell me, who will want her in the future?"

Li Lu leaned back comfortably in her seat, the corners of her mouth rising slightly, but her voice was subtle, "Oh, you're talking about that? You don't have to worry about that for her. Mr. has made arrangements."

"Made arrangements?" Number 13 perked up. "What arrangements?"

"It's Lu Family's Third Young Master. I've met that child before, a handsome man. Mr. is very satisfied with this marriage, and everyone is very satisfied." Li Lu said casually.

"What?!" Number 13 exploded, but quickly calmed down, asking in as calm a voice as possible, "Um, Sister Lu, you're not joking with me, are you? And such a big thing, how come I haven't heard a word about it?"

"It's normal that you don't know. This matter was discussed between the Lu Family Head and Mr. The Lu Family hopes to get on Mr.'s line to avoid being purged after the war, and Mr. needed the Lu Family's power at the time."

"Right, you were out on a mission with Number 2 at the time. I, Number 3, and Number 6 were present. We observed that child, and he's a good person, not impetuous, and he can talk, and he's very concerned about Number 8's affairs. We all agreed."

"What does your agreement count for? I... I didn't agree!" Number 13 completely lost it, his back straightening instantly. "I don't mean anything else, it's just... it's just that the Lu Family is, after all, a well-known family in Jiangbei, with many rules. If Number 8 is taken into their family, I'll take their family name if she doesn't pull out every last hair from their old master's beard! Wouldn't this... wouldn't this ruin Deep Crimson's reputation? No way, absolutely not!"

Li Lu nodded in a feigned manner, "So you're worried about this. But don't worry too much, after all, people grow up. Maybe Number 8 and Lu Family's Third Young Master will fall in love at first sight, don't you think?"

"Fall in love at first sight, my ass! I... I'll slam the accelerator and kill him!" Number 13 trembled with anger, and even had the urge to step on the accelerator hard, as if Lu Family's Third Young Master was right in front of the car.

"Who are you going to kill?" Li Lu was about to lose it, and could only purse her lips tightly, trying hard not to laugh. "Number 8, or Lu Family's Third Young Master?"

"I... I'll kill them both together! It's bad luck for Number 8, and Lu Family's Third Young Master is purely delusional!" Number 13 gritted his teeth. "Just wait, in a few days I'll go meet him, calculate which day is suitable for the funeral, and I'll definitely send him off!"

Li Lu finally couldn't help but laugh. Number 13 was stunned, and through the rearview mirror, he saw Li Lu's smiling face, and instantly understood that he had been tricked.

Before Number 13 could get angry, Li Lu successfully interrupted him, "Alright, this matter ends here, I won't mention it again. If you keep harping on it, then I'll go back and tell everyone."

Number 13's face was flushed, but he still didn't dare to say anything harsh. After all, he couldn't beat Number 7, let alone with Number 6 backing her up.

If this matter were known to the others in Deep Crimson today, they might even hold a special seminar, eating, drinking, and gossiping, building all their happiness on his pain.

"A good man doesn't fight with a woman, I won't argue with you!" Number 13 said indignantly.

"Whatever makes you happy." Li Lu giggled non-stop, she hadn't been this happy in a long time.

Number 13 drove while sulking, and after a moment, he suddenly changed the subject, raising his eyebrows and saying, "Hehe, Sister Lu, do you want to know... where Number 6 is now?"

"I don't want to know, because I know you don't know either." Li Lu replied crisply, after all, their missions were all arranged by Mr., and they didn't know the details of each other's missions. This was the rule.

"Hehe, then never mind if you don't want to know." Number 13 shrugged, acting helpless and regretful.

Seeing this scene, Li Lu was a little tempted. After all, Number 13 was different from them. Although this child seemed unreliable, he was actually Deep Crimson's second brain when he was serious. Maybe he really knew some details.

Chen Ran was also injured, and his father, Gong Zhe, had died in the Old Chairman's domain not long ago. Others might not notice it, but she could clearly feel that after Chen Ran learned of this news, his entire temperament had undergone subtle changes, although he was trying his best to hide it.

"Tell me, I can listen." Li Lu finally spoke.

"Hehehe." Number 13 smiled triumphantly, having succeeded in his scheme. "Sister Lu, that's not how you ask some..."

Before he could finish speaking, Number 13 saw Li Lu take out her phone from the rearview mirror, and then quickly tapped a few times. Then a voice sounded: "Recording started. This is 100 kilometers outside Hexiang City, Saturday, 7 p.m. Number 13 was just now enraged by the matter of Number 8's arranged marriage, and threatened to drive and kill Number 8 and Lu Family's Third Young Master, that dog couple..."

Number 13: "!!!"

Realizing what was happening, Number 13 almost reached out to grab Li Lu's phone. "Hey, don't, don't, don't! This is too unfair! Don't slander me, I'll... I'll tell you, okay?"

Li Lu pressed the pause button, staring at Number 13 through the rearview mirror.

"I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone else, this is all my speculation, Mr. didn't tell me." Number 13 nervously pursed his lips. "Number 6 should be in a place called Jinxiu Town now."

"Jinxiu Town?"

"Yes, that's where the Night Watch trains the second generation of Deep Crimson." Number 13's voice became serious.
