“My plan will not have any problems,” Suri emphasized, somewhat displeased.

"But since you want to, let's go talk to that old man, Ai Feng, first... To be honest, I don't really agree."

'Why? It just took a little longer, is there a problem?'

"How are you going to gain his trust? Especially since this is Syracuse, aren't you worried that offering help out of the blue might make him suspicious and turn against us?"

Honeysuckle shook her head: 'The Syracuse mafia have their own ways of communicating. I guarantee there won't be any problems. Trust me.'

"...Alright, then I'll wait and see."

Su Rui reorganized the scanning field of view within Honeysuckle Vision and marked the current location of the old tailor.

It didn't take long for Ren Dong to drive to the old tailor's residence and park the car.

Su Rui, sitting in the passenger seat, was the first to unbuckle her seatbelt and get out of the car.

"To be honest, I find it a bit strange that the Lord of Wolves would choose a tailor as his henchman. Doesn't that mean he's completely incapable of fighting?"

Not all Wolf Lords want to focus their attention on the power struggle; they simply participate in the game out of respect for their fellow foes. In reality, naturally, no one, or even any Wolf Lord, cares about these randomly chosen minions.

Honeysuckle paused for a moment, then walked to Su Rui's side and gently knocked on the door in front of her:

'However, being a henchman has some advantages; if he encounters trouble, the Wolf Lord will occasionally help him find a way to solve his henchman's problems.'

"Hmm, it sounds like you're taking care of a little kid. Ziyue is the same way."

Su Rui nodded, and then heard the door in front of her click open.

Did the old tailor in the room open the door without even looking?

Su Rui looked up curiously, and the old tailor seemed somewhat surprised when he saw her, but then calmed down:

"What brings you two here?"

We are divine soldiers sent from heaven, here to help you rescue your grandson.

Just as Su Rui was about to say that, Ren Dong covered her mouth with her finger. Facing the somewhat puzzled old tailor, Ren Dong smiled slightly:

“Shall we go in and talk? We have information about your grandson.”

"...Please come in."

After a moment's thought, the old tailor invited Su Rui and Ren Dong into his house, where they sat down at the table.

Honeysuckle cut straight to the point: "Your grandson is being held captive by the Venetian family in their mansion here. Rescuing him might be a bit troublesome."

"But your appearance in front of me means you have a way, right?"

The old tailor didn't lose his composure upon hearing the news; instead, he looked at Ren Dong and Su Rui in front of him:

"Please tell me, what price must I pay to get you two to help rescue my grandson?"

Honeysuckle didn't speak, but turned to look at Su Rui: 'What requests should we make?'

"Don't worry, I was prepared." After silently replying to Ren Dong, Su Rui looked at the old tailor in front of her.

"I don't need you to do anything, but I do need the Wolf Lord behind you to do me a favor."

"This... I'm not sure I can convince you..."

Before the old tailor could finish speaking, a wolf lord hidden in the shadows quietly appeared: "Go on, what are your conditions?"

The old tailor looked at the Wolf Lord beside him in surprise, without saying much, but looked at the seemingly harmless, handsome nine-tailed fox boy in front of him with some astonishment.

At first, he thought Su Rui was just a pretty face who came with Ren Dong, but he didn't expect that he was the one who actually made the decisions.

"The condition is simple. You know Lappland, right?"

"...Rupert, the one who killed Zaro? What do you have to say?"

"There will be another contest between you and Lappland after this. My requirement is that you support Lappland. Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing. You don't need to stand against your own kind. Just vote for her when Lappland discusses things with you."

After Su Rui finished speaking, she looked at the Lord of Wolves, but in fact, she had already begun scanning her vision to prepare for battle. After all, one or two Lords of Wolves had died before, all at the hands of Lappland.

The guy in front of you might suddenly turn on you.

Honeysuckle was equally vigilant, having already quietly placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. With the weapon enchantment given to her by Su Rui, she could also kill the Wolf Lord, but she hoped to avoid conflict with such a dangerous creature if it was not absolutely necessary.

Unexpectedly, the Lord of Wolves did not show any negative emotions; he simply nodded after Su Rui finished speaking.

"Okay, I accept this condition. Then please help him rescue his grandson."

After saying this, the Lord of Wolves prepared to leave, his figure gradually disappearing into the mist.

“Wait a minute.” Suri called out to the Lord of Wolves: “Aren’t you angry? Lappland killed one of your own kind.”

"...First of all, our relationship is not as simple as you think. Secondly, death is not the same for us as it is for other creatures on Terra; we have a different perspective."

The Lord of Wolves uttered nonsensical words and vanished into the shadows, leaving Suri looking bewildered at the spot where it had disappeared.

"That's as good as saying nothing at all."

"Alright, let's get going. Let's set our goal first, and then we can think about other things, okay? You'll have plenty of time to think about it later."

Helpless, Ren Dong hugged Su Rui from behind, pinched Su Rui's cheeks, picked her up, and walked outside.

"Just stay here and wait for us. Don't come with us. We'll protect you if we encounter any danger."

Su Rui glanced at the old tailor who seemed to want to follow, and after a moment's hesitation, the tailor nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you."

Volume 7, Chapter 450: Eavesdropping on Conversations

As she left the old tailor's house, Ren Dong realized that there was a slight difference between Su Rui and her plan.

However, this time, before Ren Dong could speak, Su Rui preemptively struck, putting her hands on her hips and looking at Ren Dong:

"You've already caused such a stir within the Venetian family, you don't actually plan to go back openly and then use your status and connections to hope that Old Venetian will release them, do you?"

Seeing Su Rui's questioning gaze, Ren Dong couldn't help but shrink back: "As long as we guarantee that the old tailor's grandson won't tell anyone about this, Old Venice should be able to let it go, right?"

“No, buddy.” Suri looked at Ren Dong with a puzzled expression: “You caused a huge scene at the Venice family’s house before. Even if it were your own kid who dared to do that, he would definitely get a beating when he got back. You’re no longer with the Venice family.”

Suri thought for a moment: "I know old Venice probably won't really use any tricks on you, but what you're doing is still a bit unreasonable, isn't it?"

"...Then what do we do?" Ren Dong sighed. Although she had already guessed Su Rui's plan, she still asked the question subconsciously.

"Of course, it's the same old routine: we'll infiltrate directly, then put the people in sacks and bring them out."

As Su Rui spoke, she walked up to Ren Dong, reached out, and placed her hand on Ren Dong's shoulder: "Alright, if you don't want to drive, then let me drive."

Upon hearing Su Rui's words, Ren Dong snapped back to reality, reached out and grabbed Su Rui's wrist, soothingly saying in a gentle tone:

"It's okay, I'm feeling great, honey. Let me drive, you can sit in the passenger seat and navigate for me."

“Okay.” Su Rui rolled his eyes. He had expected this outcome, so he didn’t fight with Ren Dong for the right to drive and simply opened the passenger door.

However, after sitting in the passenger seat, Su Rui had a new idea and looked at Ren Dong hesitantly:

"How about...we switch?"

"What do you want to change to? I need to think about it. Anything too dangerous is absolutely out of the question."

Looking at Su Rui's expression, Ren Dong nodded helplessly, sat in the driver's seat, and decided to listen to Su Rui's thoughts first.

Seeing that Honeysuckle might agree, Su Rui relaxed a little and showed her the Venetian family's mansion in New Vorsini: "Look, this is the layout of the Venetian family's mansion here, as well as the distribution of people. There is a route that can almost avoid all the relatively dangerous people. Even if I go there, there will be no danger. So, can I give it a try?"

Su Rui looked at Ren Dong with bright eyes. Seeing how many infiltrations and assassinations Ren Dong had gone through, Su Rui also wanted to try it herself.

Seeing that Honeysuckle looked somewhat troubled, Suri quickly added:

"Don't worry, I will definitely not do anything reckless. You can keep an eye on the scanning field and keep an eye on the situation here. If there is any danger, I will definitely slip away immediately and will not do anything strange."

“But you haven’t received similar training, so I’m still worried about you.”

Ren Dong looked helplessly at Su Rui, started the car, took a deep breath, and said as if sighing:

"This is the only time; I will not agree to it again."

"Really? That's amazing!"

Su Rui was overjoyed. If Ren Dong hadn't had to drive, Su Rui would have loved to pick her up and carry her.

As for what Honeysuckle said about only this once... if this time is successful, how far away will the next one be?

If you just put aside your pride and act cute, this whole thing is quite simple.

With this thought in mind, Suri sat down next to Honeysuckle and hummed a song as they walked to the vicinity of the Venetian family mansion.

Once you reach this position, you can't go any closer. After all, there might be security personnel inside, and getting too close would attract attention.

Su Rui unbuckled her seatbelt, got up from the passenger seat, and waved to Ren Dong:

"Then I'm off. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Honeysuckle nodded helplessly: "I'll assist you within the scanning field of vision, just be careful not to do anything reckless."

"Of course."

Suri nodded and turned to walk towards the wall of the Venetian family mansion.

Although it's a new mobile city, it's still quite easy to find a low wall to sneak into such a large building.

In particular, Suri's scanning field of vision is highly professional for this kind of thing.

It took almost no effort for Suri to find a way in, but his nine large, fluffy white tails were so conspicuous that they made movement a little inconvenient.

However, having nine tails isn't without its advantages. With the tails acting as a counterweight, Suri can keep his center of gravity very low, allowing him to run at almost a crawling height.

Although we don't actually need it now.

Soon, Su Rui found a suitable corner, avoiding the gaze of all the family members who were observing and guarding, and climbed over the slightly lower outer wall.

The nine fluffy tails also played a role at this time.

The tail sucked away most of the sound, making it impossible for others to notice Suri's voice.

Ren Dong sat in the car, nervously watching Su Rui move around on the map displayed by the scanning field of vision, avoiding the sight of some patrol personnel, and continuing to the next safer place.

In fact, when Ren Dong sneaks into many places, he hardly cares about those family members. He dares to walk right behind them without worrying about being discovered.

However, those things were based on the premise that she was on her own missions, that she didn't need to worry about Suri's safety, and that she possessed considerable combat capabilities.

Now, even if Su Rui walks past the patrolmen from a distance, Ren Dong can't help but worry that Su Rui might happen to turn around and be discovered.

Fortunately, Suri's scanning field of vision was very comprehensive, and she could predict roughly when the other party would turn around. Therefore, Suri was not discovered by the members of the Venice family until she sneaked into the central mansion.

Suri even leaned against a wall on a balcony and listened to two family members gossip.

"Hey, have you heard? Miss Ingrid caused quite a scene in the family a year ago, and she's still staying in New Vorsini."

"It's not exactly a secret, is it? But Mr. Venice doesn't seem to be planning to go to her."

"After all, he's a child we've raised since he was a baby. Mr. Venice must be in a bit of a dilemma, right?"

Volume 7, Chapter 451: It's inconvenient for me to lie.

'It seems our story has been widely spread.'

Suri leaned against the wall, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two family members standing on the balcony, and couldn't help but tease Ren Dong.

'Hmm...alright, get your attention back on your task, Suri.'

"Okay, I understand."

Su Rui nodded, said nothing more, and quietly walked across the balcony to the room where the old tailor's grandson was being held.

There are no dungeons or basements or anything like that.

The old tailor's grandson was simply locked in a bedroom, all the tools he could possibly use to escape were taken away, and even though he was several stories high, he didn't dare to jump out of the window to escape.

Su Rui was bolder. She approached the room where the old tailor's grandson was through the outside window, stood on the windowsill, and gently knocked on the window.

The old tailor's grandson was clearly startled by the sudden commotion. He turned around and saw Su Rui squatting on the windowsill, smiling and greeting him.

He paused instinctively, staring blankly at Su Rui, then looked dazed, as if he thought he was still dreaming.

Su Rui rolled her eyes in annoyance, ignoring the slow-witted guy, took out a glass cutter from her system space, cut the window glass, reached in from the outside, opened the window, and jumped into the room.

The old tailor's grandson then looked at Su Rui as if waking from a dream, a look of astonishment on his face:

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

"I'm paid to do this job. Anyway, I've accepted the commission to rescue you. From now on, you're not allowed to make a sound. Be a good girl and follow me. I'll take you out. Do you understand?"
