As Gu An'an looked over, Xiao Yuheng's gaze also happened to be looking in her direction.

Although the two did not speak, there was a sense that everything was understood without words.

Knowing that their target might be nearby, Gu An'an simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep in the latter half of the night.

At three in the morning, the bus stopped, and the sounds of whispering and moving luggage filled the carriage. Many people were awakened and stared at their luggage in a daze, afraid that someone would take it away.

Just as most people were getting off the bus, a tall man suddenly stood up, holding a tightly wrapped child in his arms.

The moment the man stood up, Gu An'an noticed that Xiao Yuheng and Chen Yong's eyes brightened by two degrees. This man was probably the target of the two deputy commanders' mission.

Although she had a general idea of ​​what was going on, Gu An'an had no intention of taking any action.

Regardless of what this person did, since there are professionals in charge now, there's no need for her to meddle. Otherwise, if she ruins their plans, Gu An'an can't bear the responsibility.

Xiao Yuheng knew that Gu An'an was very smart, but he did not expect that she was smart enough to guess their mission target. Now he was even more nervous than before when he was afraid that Gu An'an would expose their identities by greeting them.

Would she consider acting as a hero?

Will she get hurt because of this?

Many thoughts swirled in his mind. He only hoped that Gu An'an wouldn't be so foolish as to put herself in danger.

Seeing that Gu An'an glanced at them knowingly a few times before closing her eyes again, Xiao Yuheng finally felt relieved.

Thank goodness, he said this girl was smart, and he was right.

As the target drew closer, Xiao Yuheng gave Chen Yong a look, and Chen Yong slapped his forehead, "Oh dear, I'm so sleepy, we're almost home. Let's hurry up or the car will leave."

Chen Yong picked up his backpack and walked away, getting right in front of the man holding the child.

"Brother, stop dawdling and hurry up! I'm waiting for you downstairs."

Seeing this, the man became wary and kept his eyes, hidden under his hat, fixed on Xiao and Chen. After a few glances, he found nothing amiss.

But he has always been a cautious person, otherwise he wouldn't have survived until now. You know, the grass on the graves of his brothers has grown several times over.

After a moment's thought, the man smiled and prepared to give up his seat, saying, "If you're in a hurry to get off, comrade, you can go ahead first."

Upon hearing this, both of them secretly cursed him as an old fox.

Leaving was out of the question, but fortunately, several groups of people got off at the intermediate stops, and the carriage was much emptier by then.

Moreover, their current position is right closest to the connecting area between the carriages, and they are only next to Gu An'an and the others.

If they let the person escape now, where will they find them?

Xiao Yuheng's gaze fell on Luo An'an, who had her eyes closed. He was actually worried, afraid that he might hurt the little girl if he started a fight.

But... the mission must continue; we absolutely cannot let this person escape again.

He winked at Chen Yong, who immediately understood and said with a smile, "Big brother, you go ahead. My brother still has luggage to take. You don't need to wait for him."

The man turned to leave, but Xiao Yuheng blocked his way.

It would be strange if he didn't find anything now, so he immediately started attacking without thinking.

The man was quite skilled. Although holding the child affected his movements, he occasionally used the child to block Xiao Yuheng's moves, which greatly hindered Xiao Yuheng's attacks.

At this moment, Xiao Yuheng was quite certain that the child was innocent and was likely a tool prepared by the man to cover his tracks, as well as a hostage.

The two sides were deadlocked, and the sleeping people were also awakened by the situation, letting out piercing screams and trying to leave the carriage, which made it more difficult for Xiao Yuheng and his companion to move.

"Oh no! Brother Yuan, what should we do? I'm so scared."

Seeing Qin Xue clinging to Xie Yuan like an octopus, Zhou Yue rolled her eyes, silently cursed, and then nervously pulled Gu An'an a little closer to her, afraid that she would be affected.

"What happened? How did they start fighting?"

Gu An'an shook her head, not intending to say more; knowing too much about some things is not a good thing.

But her gaze remained fixed on the three people locked in combat. The man was indeed cunning; whenever there was danger, he would push the child forward, completely disregarding whether the child would get hurt.

Moreover, judging from his skills, he is definitely a trained fighter. If used properly, such a person would be a sharp sword.

But if they don't do good deeds, they're a tough nut to crack.

The commotion inside the carriage grew louder and louder, attracting the attention of several adjacent carriages. Although they knew it was dangerous, some people still squeezed over to see what was happening, and the situation quickly worsened.

"Make way, everyone, and go back to your seats."

Chen Yong shouted as he looked for an opportunity to strike, but some people still recklessly pushed forward, even hindering their actions, which made Chen Yong curse inwardly.

Suddenly, the man was caught off guard and was struck hard on the shoulder by Xiao Yuheng. A sharp pain spread through him, and he unconsciously loosened his grip on the child.

Not only that, Chen Yong attacked from behind, and he could only defend himself with his right hand, which gave Xiao Yuheng the opportunity to snatch the child back.

The train staff had arrived long ago, but seeing the situation, they didn't want to approach and waited on the side. When they saw the child, they quickly took him from the train.

"Let the doctor take a look at the child."

In those few short seconds, the man had already broken free from Chen Yong's attack, and seeing that things were not going well, he tried to grab another hostage nearby.

He had already observed that there were four people in the group, three women and one man, and they didn't look like the type who knew martial arts.
