Chapter 574: The Instigator
In the battle of the old city, both sides suffered heavy losses, and more than 4,000 foreign soldiers were killed and wounded, which was one-tenth of the entire Xiangjiang garrison, which made Rennes very distressed.
However, the losses of the Zhao family and the Wu family were even greater this time, with the total casualties of the two families exceeding 6,000. Although it is better than the foreigners, almost every family has lost half of their strength.
Xiangjiang was hit twice and now continues to rest, but fortunately, in the end, Ye Shaolong still killed Cook. Wren is also free from Cook's control, and Xiangjiang is back under his control.
It took a whole day to clean up the old town, the wounded were rushed to medical treatment, and all the dead were buried. The names of the dead and the injured were also checked.
To Ye Shaolong's surprise, in the thick stack of copywriting, he could never find the name of that Dale.
Ye Shaolong thought that he had missed it, but he looked for it again, but he still didn't find the news of this person's death.
Since it has not been verified, it means that it is very likely that this person is still alive, but his whereabouts are not known now. Although Xiangjiang is not big, it is not easy to find such a person in the vast sea of people.
Ye Shaolong did not hesitate to do anything, Dale was definitely a dangerous person, and before his death was confirmed, Ye Shaolong estimated that he would not even be able to sleep well.
The same goes for Wren, who, after hearing the news that Dahler is likely not dead, simply does not leave the door. Hiding in a tightly guarded western-style building all day long.
When Ye Shaolong came to visit, he saw a dense crowd of guards, all of them were people, both openly and secretly.
In the large living room, Wren looked haggard, it had only been two days, and he had been tortured to the point of being inhuman. With his red and swollen eyes open, Wren said bitterly, "Ye, has that damn Dale been found?" β
When Ye Shaolong saw Wren's appearance, he wanted to laugh but was afraid that this guy would go crazy and bite people, so he had to hold back his exaggerated words: "Oh my God, Mr. Wren, what's wrong with you?" It's rare that you scare you like this just because of a Dahle. β
Wren didn't care about Ye Shaolong's ridicule at all, he said coldly: "Ye, you don't have to squeeze me with words, you can't be easy if Dale doesn't die." It was a madman, a complete lunatic, and the man he was targeting never lived long. I can't be too cautious at all. β
Ye Shaolong put away the playfulness on his face, and said with a serious face: "Mr. Rennes, what you said is so right, in fact, I haven't been able to sleep well in the past two days. But this Dale is really cunning, he doesn't come out at all. I have dispatched all the brethren, even the thugs on the streets, to find out where Dalle is, but there is still no clue. β
Ye Shaolong is also very distressed, and this Dale is obviously a master in this regard. Since his disappearance that night, he has not been seen in hiding.
The entire Xiangjiang River has been turned upside down, but there is still no trace of him. Sometimes, Ye Shaolong wondered if he had left Xiangjiang.
But before there was no definite news that he left, Ye Shaolong didn't dare to slack off at all, so he had to be careful and step up his search for his traces.
Wren was very depressed, and after he invited Ye Shaolong to sit down, he said, "Ye, what's the matter with coming to me this time?" β
Ye Shaolong put away his messy thoughts, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Rennes, do you want to end the days of being frightened now?" β
Wren rolled his eyes and said distressedly: "Why don't you want to, I haven't closed my eyes for two days and two nights, and if I continue like this, I don't think I'll be killed by Dale, and I'll fall first." β
Ye Shaolong Yin laughed: "Then very good, I have a way to lure Dale out, but I need your cooperation." β
"What's the solution?" Wren's eyes lit up, and he was very anxious.
He really didn't want to live like this, he didn't want to live a minute or a second, this kind of torture was more painful than a knife.
Ye Shaolong stared at Wren and said word by word: "I need you to be a bait, remove half of your guards, and then go out of the door to move outside more, and create an opportunity for Dale to do it." β
Wren's face changed suddenly, this was clearly to send him to death, he absolutely believed that as long as he drilled Dale, his life would be in danger.
Wren shook his head again and again: "Ye, you are kidding, if Dale doesn't make a move, he will definitely be caught." Do you think you'll be able to take him out before he does it? Don't be naΓ―ve. β
Ye Shaolong did not give up, and continued to persuade: "Mr. Rennes, long pain is better than short pain, if you continue like this, I believe it won't be long before you will be driven crazy." Rather than die of torture like this, it is better to take a risk, and if we succeed, you will not have to live in a world of fear like you are now. β
Wren fell silent, the expression on his face changed uncertainly, and he seemed to be a little moved.
Ye Shaolong was secretly happy in his heart, and continued to flicker: "Think about it, it is very likely that he just wanted to torture you to death like this, so he refused to show up." So, Mr. Wren, you should try it! β
Ye Shaolong's words kept echoing in Wren's mind, which made him very moved. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ye, can I really trust you?" β
"Mr. Wren, if you promise to cooperate with me, then I can stay and stay with you for the rest of the day, so you should rest assured."
"But ......."
"Don't be, it's really simple, don't make it too complicated, Mr. Wren. Now either he dies or we are finished, and there is no way out for everyone. β
Ye Shaolong's words, like a morning bell, kept knocking on his inner defense. In the end, Ye Shaolong won, and he persuaded Wren to cooperate with him.
After getting Wren's approval, Ye Shaolong was very happy, and Wren was not a mother-in-law, so he directly removed half of the guards. He finally chose to believe in Ye Shaolong, and also gave himself a chance to be free.
He doesn't want to live such a day for a moment, it's too torturous!
From that day on, Ren was accompanied by Ye Shaolong and lived a more comfortable life. Although he still had scruples about Dale in his heart, under Ye Shaolong's encouragement, he still bravely chose to fight with the enemy.
"Hahaha...... Mr. Wren is really bold enough, I didn't see the wrong person! Ye Shaolong slapped a fart lightly, and the other party was really happy, and he and Ye Shaolong began to call each other brothers.
Time passed quietly, and soon it was nightfall, and it was very quiet outside. Ren and Ye Shaolong were still talking, and the two fell into extreme pain.
The two stayed up all night waiting for Dalle to come and take the bait, and as long as Dalle dared to take the lead, countless people would come to deal with it. According to Ye Shaolong's estimate, they have as much as half the chance of success, so they must fight once to save everyone's trouble.
