Chapter 638: 629, Self-examination_1

To be honest, An Si had never seen Yang Xi like this before. The last time Yang Xi was in such a state, An Si had already reached Nepal with Ren He, so he missed the sight.

Now knowing that Ren He was not in any danger, An Si reflected on Yang Xi’s imposing moment in the car and still felt quite a thrill!

Those kids were clearly second-generation rich, just the leading red sports car probably cost over 12 million, unaffordable for ordinary people. And yet, when Yang Xi’s presence unfolded, none of them dared to talk back. They might have known Yang Xi’s identity, but when Yang Xi faced those with bad tempers, An Si truly felt an intangible aura...

"What do you think, how did our Ren He brother win this one over?" An Si mused.

"Haha, only he could do it," Liu Erbao said cheerily: "You haven’t seen when you all went to climb Mount Everest."

An Si’s eyes lit up: "What happened? Tell me?"

Liu Erbao burst into laughter: "Experience it yourself in the future, what others say can’t compare to seeing it with your own eyes!"

The Raptor that Yang Xi was driving had long been transferred to her by Ren He, making it Yang Xi’s car, so even if someone wanted to check, they could only trace it to Yang Xi’s name.

On their way back, they collected all the camera equipment, then met up with Ren He at the mid-mountain ticket counter. When they saw Ren He, he was standing on the edge of a cliff overlooking the mountains.

Liu Erbao wanted to apologize, but Ren He waved his arm and jumped into the car to lead the team away, as if he didn’t care at all about the encounter with the convoy on the mountain.

But even if Ren He did not care, Liu Erbao could not afford not to care.

That evening, Ren He treated everyone to a meal at the famous copper fire pot lamb restaurant on Xingshu Road in Luo City. The copper fire pot was set up on the table, with brilliant red charcoal burning in the stove, and the clear soup bubbling away in the pot.

Ren He thought that this kind of fire pot meal was more thrilling to eat, and this restaurant was famous precisely because its lamb slices were thicker and more satisfying to eat.

After two cups of white liquor, Liu Erbao could no longer hold back: "I’m sorry, today was my fault."

Speaking of which, the Knight team had always been very stable, composed of TK and Liu Erbao’s team. They cooperated quite well at the Moonlight Cliffs in the USA. However, this time, due to the hasty planning, chaos ensued.

There were many reasons: first, nine people from Liu Erbao’s team had gone home for the New Year, leaving only three. Liu Erbao had to oversee the main camera on the mountain, one was in charge of the first speed measuring device Ren He passed, reporting the situation so Ren He could correct his speed, and another was a mobile member, ready to be dispatched at any moment.

Secondly, nobody expected that there would be hikers at that time, partially because it was close to the new year and also because they had put in much effort to get there.

In fact, all of this could have been avoided. If they were short-staffed, why not let An Si, with nothing much to do, block the roads? But it wasn’t An Si’s fault since he had always been only in charge of equipment. It was Liu Erbao who had said that he was in charge of on-site matters, so ultimately it was his poor management.

Ren He pondered for a moment: "I think you don’t need to blame yourself so much, Erbao. The biggest responsibility lies with me. It’s unreasonable to pass the buck to you the moment something goes wrong."

Seeing Liu Erbao about to argue, Ren He squelched his words: "Listen to me, we’ve all been a bit careless, right? Because our plans have never failed before, it’s normal for a victorious army to grow a bit arrogant and negligent. This isn’t good, but none of us are saints; who doesn’t make mistakes?"

"Why do I say that this mistake is my responsibility? Think about it, the root of this inattentiveness starts with me. I was too confident. Although nothing serious happened today, I still have to be responsible for my own life. What’s the point of relying on others?" Ren He sighed. When he looked out over the cliff earlier, he was actually reflecting on himself. The incident that occurred today was entirely due to his overconfidence and his slight underestimation of the tasks given by the Divine Punishment System.

And what he told Liu Erbao was indeed what he believed: if one doesn’t take responsibility for their own life, they can’t blame others.

Think about the first man to free-solo climb in a previous life, why did he insist on cleaning the rock face himself instead of letting someone else do it?

Was it really just to familiarize himself with the route? He could have used a telescope for that.

This was actually an attitude of being responsible for one’s own life. Ren He felt that today’s incident was a threshold he stumbled over. Luckily, he was unhurt, but it reminded him that he needed to change his mindset.

After the new year, he would be heading to Xinjiang to deal with poaching gangs. The opponents weren’t the mindless landscapes, and from what he had found out these past few days, it was quite common for the poaching gangs to have automated firearms. They were definitely not the bandits from his memories of a previous life.

"The lion still uses its full strength when hunting a rabbit." If he didn’t treat this seriously, maybe he would be fine on his next mission, but what about the one after that? Who could say for sure?

The current situation was that he wasn’t very keen on using the staff from TK China. Taking on life’s challenges was his own business, and he felt it was necessary to quietly form a separate branch within the Qinghe Group dedicated to his own logistical support. It wasn’t long ago that he recruited a pilot and, in one fell swoop, bought three different models of airplanes he hadn’t even used yet...

He would leave this matter to Nie Ting. Although Nie Ting was the Vice President in charge of Investment and M&A, he was probably the one who understood Ren He the best, apart from Xu Nuo. Entrusting this to him, Nie Ting would probably know the right measure.

It’s very normal for a Vice President to oversee two departments; that’s even considered less than usual.

To err is human. This time, let it be a lesson learned for himself. In light of this, he should call Steve again. Why take on No Man’s Land with just a sniper rifle and a dagger when you could have more support? Why make things harder than they need to be?

During the hotpot meal, Liu Erbao vividly described to Ren He how Yang Xi had intimidated the group of rich second-generation kids, to the embarrassment of Yang Xi.

Ren He, on the other hand, felt a wave of warmth. To have a few people in the world who genuinely worry about your life is also a kind of happiness.

Just then, Xu Nuo suddenly called Ren He: "Duan Xiaolou is back and wants to organize a dinner for everyone. It’s tomorrow, the 29th. She says she’s leaving on the 2nd day of the new year... are you going?"

Hearing Xu Nuo’s tone, Ren He couldn’t help but laugh and cry. This guy probably still remembered his secret crush on Duan Xiaolou. But that girl had become somewhat of a blur in his memory, like someone irrelevant.

Tomorrow night, or rather the early morning of the day after, he still needed to take his family to Luo City’s White Horse Temple for blessings. There would be too many people on New Year’s Eve night. Ren He thought about it and said, "No, I won’t go. Those class reunions where everyone just brags are too meaningless."
