In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 262 Preparing to Escape
After setting up camp, the convoy was still calm.
Although the team was in a panic because of the mercenary's out-of-control incident a few days ago, everyone still sat around the fire to eat and warm themselves at dinner as usual, but the distance between them became larger and the voices of chatter became much quieter.
Cheng Sinian kept Qiao Yu's instructions in mind, and as soon as he finished his meal, he found an excuse to take Professor Kang and Professor Shen to their car.
Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan went to find Xiang Heng.
"Captain Xiang, you haven't finished telling us the story last time. How about continuing tonight?" Qiao Yu came to Xiang Heng and said with a smile.
Xiang Heng had just finished dinner and was sitting and chatting with his teammates when he suddenly heard Qiao Yu's voice. He didn't react for a moment.
Xiang Heng turned around in a daze, thinking about what story he told Qiao Yu last time, when he suddenly saw the deep meaning in Qiao Yu's eyes.
Xiang Heng understood and stood up, "Okay, I'll go over now."
The team members around Xiang Heng were all confused when they saw this, and watched the three people walk away in confusion.
Seeing this, Yan Zijin, who was not far away, had a hint of deep thought in his eyes.
He just noticed that Cheng Sinian had invited Professor Kang and Professor Shen to their RV, and now he came to find Xiang Heng...
Is it really about telling a story?
…
When Xiang Heng followed Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan into the RV, he discovered that Professor Kang and Professor Shen were also there.
Xiang Heng greeted everyone one by one, then whispered to Qiao Yu, "Captain Qiao, why did you gather us here? Is there something going on?"
The look in Qiao Yu's eyes just now clearly showed that he had something to say but was not comfortable saying it in public.
Qiao Yu nodded and dropped a bombshell, "We have to find a way to leave here tonight."
Professor Kang, Professor Shen, and Xiang Heng were all stunned when they heard this.
"What? Did something happen?" Xiang Heng frowned, feeling that something must have happened.
Professor Kang was also a little surprised and asked: "Yes, why is it so sudden?"
Qiao Yu pursed her lips and said, "There are indeed some problems, but there is no time to explain so much now. Let's find a way to leave first."
"Captain Xiang, it's up to you to communicate with your team members, but you must remember that this matter must not be known to outsiders."
Xiang Heng's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this.
Judging from what Qiao Yu said... could there be a traitor in the convoy?
Xiang Heng thought about the mercenary's out-of-control incident a few days ago, and he had some vague guesses in his mind.
But Xiang Heng didn't ask any more questions and nodded directly, "Okay, I understand."
"So... Captain Qiao, do you have any plans?"
Qiao Yu nodded again, "We have a rough plan."
"But we won't tell you the specific details. Just remember to get back to the car with your teammates before 9 p.m.."
After Qiao Yu finished speaking, he pretended to take out a black walkie-talkie from his backpack beside him and said, "Take this. We will contact you through this at nine o'clock."
"Okay." Xiang Heng nodded, took the intercom, and stood up neatly. "Then Captain Qiao, I will go back and prepare first. I will wait for your news at nine o'clock this evening."
"Okay." Qiao Yu nodded.
After Xiang Heng left, Professor Kang glanced at Professor Shen and asked, "Do we need to prepare anything?"
"No need." Cheng Sinian said from the side: "From now on, the two of you should not leave here. If you need to get anything, let Ah Chuan get it."
"Okay." Professor Kang and Professor Shen nodded after hearing this.
In fact, what Qiao Yu and the others discussed was very simple, which was to use Jiang Zhan's mental power to leave.
Qiao Yu thought about it carefully. Since the other party did not take action at the beginning, nor before dinner, it meant that he most likely wanted to take action late at night.
Then they just need to set off before everyone rests.
At that time, as long as Xiang Heng and the others can stay within the range of Jiang Zhan's spiritual barrier, there will be no problem.
There are many mountains near City A. As long as you go to the mountains and reach areas with high vegetation coverage, it will not be so easy to do anything.
So as long as they follow the original route north and leave the vicinity of City A Municipal Hospital, nothing serious should happen.
After Qiao Yu finished explaining everything, he kept observing the situation in the camp through the car window.
Cheng Sinian was always watching the time. As soon as it was nine o'clock, he would immediately remind Qiao Yu to set off.
At this time, Yan Zijin was talking to the team members while quietly observing the movements of Qiao Yu and Xiang Heng's team.
Professor Kang and Professor Shen have not gotten out of Qiao Yu and his friends' car since they got in.
Xiang Heng did return to the team, but no one knew what he said to the team members, and they all returned to the car soon after.
Even Wang Zha, who had been lying next to the RV, was called back to the roof at some point.
No matter how Yan Zijin looked at it, he felt that these people were getting ready to leave!
Not only Yan Zijin, but Chu Yi also noticed the unusual behavior of Qiao Yu and Xiang Heng.
Chu Yi stood in front of the tent, staring at the RV where Qiao Yu and the others were, wondering what he was thinking.
"Colonel Chu, what do you think?" Yan Zijin walked to Chu Yi and raised his chin meaningfully towards Qiao Yu and their RV.
Chu Yi pursed his lips and shook his head, "What does Captain Yan mean?"
Yan Zijin curled his lips, "I think..."
Having said this, Yan Zijin suddenly paused.
He seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and for a moment his eyes looked at Chu Yi with a somewhat obscure look.
Chu Yi waited for a while, but Yan Zijin didn't say anything further, so he couldn't help but look at him again with some confusion.
"What do you think?"
Yan Zijin suddenly cracked a smile and said, "Nothing... I just think they are quite interesting."
After saying that, Yan Zijin turned and left.
Chu Yi looked at Yan Zijin's back, and his eyes began to flicker again.
As soon as Yan Zijin turned around, the smile on his face disappeared completely.
The reason why he didn't continue speaking just now was because he suddenly remembered that Chu Yi had gone to see Qiao Yu and the others before.
Why didn’t Qiao Yu and the others think about leaving before, but wanted to leave after talking with Chu Yi and when they were about to reach their destination?
Yan Zijin suddenly felt that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding from the very beginning.
He had always placed Chu Yi on the same front with them, but since there was a problem within the team, was it possible that the person behind the scenes was within the team?
And Chu Yi is the commander of this operation, so is it possible...
Is Chu Yi the culprit behind this series of events?
