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 263: Another Team
After Yan Zijin returned to the team, he was horrified and felt heavier the more he thought about it.
If all this was really done by Chu Yi, then what was his purpose?
Chu Yi is a colonel in the Eastern Military Region and has great authority. With such status and position, what can he not get?
Why would he risk his career by hindering this exchange?
Behind Chu Yi is Commander Xie, could it be... this is what Commander Xie meant?
No, it won't.
With Commander Xie's power, if he really had this intention, there would be no need to go to such great lengths...
Yan Zijin frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
I couldn't help but turn my gaze to the RV in the distance.
The pendulum is in such a hurry to get away now... Did they know something?
But how do they plan to escape when they are in full view of the public?
"Captain, what are you thinking about?"
A member of Tianxing's team saw Yan Zijin frowning and looking like he was deep in thought, so he came over curiously and asked in a low voice.
Yan Zijin didn't answer, but suddenly stood up again and said, "I'm going to go to Vulture."
Then he left without looking back.
The few team members left behind looked at each other in confusion.
Seeing this, Tang Ran also lowered his eyelashes slightly.
The captain... seemed to be looking at the pendulum just now?
Tang Ran recalled Yan Zijin's previous interest in Qiao Yu's mutant black wolf, and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be... that the captain still wants to get that mutant black wolf?
After Xiang Heng gave the team members a few brief instructions, he pulled them all into the car and waited patiently for Qiao Yu's notification.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, he felt someone knocking on the car window on his side. Xiang Heng turned his head and found that it was Yan Zijin.
"Captain Yan, what's going on?"
Xiang Heng didn't get out of the car, but just rolled down the window and asked politely but distantly.
Yan Zijin glanced at the other people in the car and smiled at Xiang Heng, "Captain Xiang, can you please talk to me for a moment?"
Xiang Heng frowned when he heard this and looked down at his watch.
Eight fifty-three.
Seven minutes left.
"I'm sorry, Captain Yan, my legs hurt a bit today, so it's not convenient for me to get out of the car and walk around. If you have anything to say, just say it here." Xiang Heng smiled, "We are all family here, there's nothing I can't listen to."
Yan Zijin did not miss Xiang Heng's action of looking down at his watch just now, and then combined with what he said now, he became more certain that Xiang Heng had made an agreement with Qiao Yu and others to wait for a time and run away at any time.
And judging from Xiang Heng's appearance, the time is probably very close.
Yan Zijin didn't hesitate any longer and turned around and ran towards Qiao Yu and his friends' RV.
Xiang Heng and the other people in the car were startled by Yan Zijin's sudden action and stared at his back in a daze.
"What happened to Captain Yan?" a member of the Vulture team asked in a low voice.
"I don't know, was it an evil spirit?" another team member replied.
Only Xiang Heng saw this and his brows gradually furrowed.
He left in the direction of the RV with the pendulum.
Yan Zijin...could it be that he had guessed their plan to leave?
Although Xiang Heng didn't have much contact with Yan Zijin, he had at least gone on two missions with him.
He knew that this person was intelligent and had great insight.
The behavior of Big Pendulum and his team today was indeed a bit abnormal, but Yan Zijin's ability to react in such a short time was still beyond his expectations.
"Oh no..." Xiang Heng's face darkened. He immediately took out his walkie-talkie, pressed the call button, and whispered, "Captain Qiao, Yan Zijin may have guessed our plan. He just came to talk to me, but I didn't get out of the car. Now he's going to your place."
Inside the RV, everyone looked unhappy as they listened to the news coming from the intercom.
"Got it." Qiao Yu replied in a low voice, "Captain Xiang, don't worry, just stay where you are."
"receive."
As soon as Xiang Heng finished his reply, there was a knock on the door of the RV.
Qiao Yu glanced at Cheng Sinian and motioned him to open the car door.
Cheng Sinian understood and brought Yan Zijin in directly.
"Captain Yan, what brings you to us so late at night?" Qiao Yu sat on a chair in the reception area, looking at Yan Zijin with a faint expression.
This was Yan Zijin's first time entering the RV of the Big Pendulum. As soon as he entered, he was surprised by the heating inside.
But he didn't have time to carefully appreciate the layout and decoration of the car. He got straight to the point and said, "Captain Qiao, I know you are preparing to leave here now. I think I may have roughly guessed the specific reason. I won't waste any more words. If it is convenient for you, can you take us with you?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
I originally thought he was here to cause trouble, but it turned out he wanted to "get on board"?
Qiao Yu pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Yan Zijin's words really caught her off guard.
She knew that Yan Zijin was a smart person, but she really didn't expect him to be so smart.
To be honest, Qiao Yu really wanted to make friends with Yan Zijin, but given the current situation, if they brought one more team, their success rate might be reduced.
Qiao Yu lowered his eyelashes, thought for a few seconds, and finally nodded with Jiang Zhan's tacit approval, "Since Captain Yan said so, let's go back and prepare."
Qiao Yu glanced at the clock next to his seat, then calmly extended three fingers.
"It's 8:57 now. You have three minutes to get ready."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zijin turned around and rushed out of the car, but was suddenly pulled back by an invisible force.
Before Yan Zijin could be surprised, a walkie-talkie was stuffed into his hand.
"Take this, we'll contact you at nine."
Yan Zijin nodded, turned around again, and rushed out of the car door.
He didn't have time to ask where they got the walkie-talkie, nor did he have time to think about what the invisible force was. There were only three minutes left, and he had to ensure that his team could escape safely.
He didn't know why he trusted the pendulum so much, but there was a voice in his heart telling him: Believe in them! You must follow them and leave here!
"This Yan Zijin is really too smart."
Cheng Sinian looked at Yan Zijin's anxious but forced calm back, and his eyes darkened slightly.
"Qiao Yu, you... want to cooperate with him?"
Qiao Yu pursed her lips, neither confirming nor denying, "You also said that he is very smart."
Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows and said nothing more, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Although Qiao Yu didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of his words was already very clear.
That’s right, if he didn’t want to cooperate, Qiao Yu wouldn’t have agreed to him just now.
As long as Qiao Yu doesn't want to, it will be useless even if he wants to report it.
