Fang Yan's pupils contracted. From Fang Baishuang's words, she gleaned an important piece of information: Zhang Jizhou was also here.
Thinking back to the last time, Zhang Jizhou didn't even have time to take her and the child back to the village before rushing off to carry out his mission.
Fang Yan thought he had gone back to his unit to carry out a mission.
It now appears that his task was to be carried out in the county town.
Fang Yan vaguely remembered that the book said Zhang Jizhou was a core member of a certain elite squad in the army, and was even the squad leader.
According to the book, this elite squad wouldn't be used for minor missions.
They are only assigned to missions that are very important, or those where the target is cunning and ruthless, and difficult to arrest.
Thinking of all this, and looking at the two bandits in front of her, Fang Yan's heart sank inexplicably. These two bandits were very likely Zhang Jizhou's targets for this mission.
In other words, she is now encountering bandits who are extremely cruel, vicious, and cunning.
Thinking of this, Fang Yan couldn't help but kick Fang Baishuang hard in the back of the knee. This brain-dead reborn woman!
That's absolutely insane!
She didn't even need to ask Fang Baishuang how she knew Zhang Jizhou was here.
Fang Yan trusted Zhang Jizhou's discipline and believed that he would strictly adhere to the rules and not speak recklessly regarding the tasks he was to carry out.
Fang Baishuang knew that Zhang Jizhou was also here for only one reason: she remembered him through her memories from her past life.
But no matter how good a person's memory is, how could they possibly remember every single detail of their previous life after a lifetime?
Furthermore, in their previous life, Zhang Jizhou and Fang Baishuang had absolutely no interaction.
Therefore, Fang Yan concluded that Fang Baishuang only remembered that Zhang Jizhou had appeared here around this time, but did not actually know what mission he was carrying out, nor did she know how ruthless and terrifying his mission target was.
This brain-dead reborn woman, I didn't provoke her at all, I don't know what got into me, she just rashly led me here.
ah!!
Fang Yan was furious. If it weren't for the occasion, she would have slapped Fang Baishuang a few times!
Fang Baishuang did not expect Fang Yan to kick her like that without saying a word.
And he kicked her right behind her knee.
This kick sent Fang Baishuang sprawling to her knees with a thud.
At this moment, they were led to a mountain path full of small pebbles. Suddenly, they knelt down, and their pants were torn by the pebbles. Some sharp pebbles pierced their flesh, and blood gushed out instantly.
The stinging pain made Fang Baishuang forget the occasion once again. She stood up and wanted to hit Fang Yan, but was stopped by the second brother.
Unable to vent her rage, Fang Baishuang opened her mouth and started cursing at Fang Yan, "You bitch, you only kicked me because you were jealous that Ji Zhou would save me first!"
"Hahaha..." Fang Baishuang continued to curse like a madwoman, "So what if you're his wife? Since we're both hostages, he has to save me first!"
Because if he saved you first, he would be selfish, disregarding the lives of the people and only caring about his wife's life. Their professional ethics and discipline would not allow them to do that, so he could only save me first!
"You're just jealous of me, that's why you plotted against me."
Fang Yan: ...
She just said that Fang Baishuang is brain-dead.
Now it seems I was wrong. Fang Baishuang was not brain-dead at all.
She's a complete idiot with no brains!
Fang Baishuang was so focused on venting her anger that she didn't notice the sudden change in expression on the faces of the two thugs beside her when she uttered the name "Ji Zhou".
Fang Yan noticed the change in their expressions, and from the way they communicated with their eyes, she could tell that they knew Zhang Jizhou.
"The Ji Zhou you just mentioned, is he Zhang Ji Zhou, the captain of a certain elite squad in a certain military unit?"
Sure enough, the moment this guess crossed Fang Yan's mind, she saw the second brother reach out and grab Fang Baishuang's chin, asking fiercely.
Fang Baishuang, who was neither smart nor bright, actually thought that the bandits were scared, and burst into laughter, "Yes, it's Zhang Jizhou you mentioned. You're scared now, aren't you? If you're scared, then let me go!"
Fang Yan: ...
She suddenly couldn't understand why the author wanted to give birth to someone whose mind was stuck in their past life.
To say that Fang Baishuang is brainless?
She herself thought she was quite smart.
Fang Baishuang believes that although she mentioned Zhang Jizhou, she did not reveal too much information. At least she did not say that Zhang Jizhou was in Lion Roar Ridge.
Furthermore, Fang Baishuang dared to say these things at this time only because Zhang Jizhou couldn't see or hear her.
Besides, she wasn't wrong. Once Zhang Jizhou found out that she and Fang Yan had been captured by bad guys at the same time, she was certain that Zhang Jizhou would save her first.
The reason is what she just said: discipline and awareness do not allow Zhang Jizhou to save Fang Yan first.
She could also tell that the bandits looked very fierce today.
In this situation, it would be virtually impossible to rescue both her and Fang Yan safely at the same time.
Fang Baishuang had already planned that after she was rescued, she would embellish the story and pin all the blame on Fang Yan for what happened today.
By then, the bandits would have either been killed or captured, and Fang Yan would be dead. How could Zhang Jizhou possibly know what she had said today?
Well, from Fang Baishuang's perspective, she is indeed not stupid, and she has a very clever plan in mind.
Little did she know, she thought that Zhang Jizhou would never know what she had just said.
However, the truth is that the moment she was kicked by Fang Yan, her teammate, who was keeping a close eye on them with binoculars, immediately reported to Zhang Jizhou, "Captain, another woman, I don't know what she said to the skinny guy, was kicked to her knees by him."
Fang Yan kicked Fang Baishuang to her knees?
Zhang Jizhou took the binoculars and began to observe for himself. From then on, everything that happened next was under his watchful eye.
Oh, I forgot to mention, Zhang Jizhou learned lip reading because of the mission requirements.
Therefore, he took all of Fang Baishuang's words to heart.
Suddenly, Zhang Jizhou paused abruptly. Those who knew him well knew that this was a major sudden change, and a very unfavorable one at that.
"What's wrong?" his partner asked.
Zhang Jizhou handed him the binoculars. "The bandits are strapping explosives to two hostages."
Yes, thanks to Fang Baishuang's supposedly clever maneuvering, the bandits had confirmed their identities and directly strapped all the explosives they had brought with them during their escape to Fang Yan and Fang Baishuang...
