Tang Yue was also sitting in the truck. At this moment, her consciousness had spread out. There was nothing unusual on the rooftops on both sides of the road. Occasionally, people would pass through the alley, but they didn't seem to be coming for them.
"It should be safe."
Chen Erniu didn't loosen his grip on the box, but his body was noticeably more relaxed. "Company Commander Tang, how did you figure out it was safe now?"
Tang Yue was surprised that Chen Erniu trusted her so much. "Hehe, you should still protect him well, who knows what unexpected situations might arise."
Chen Erniu agreed with Tang Yue's assessment and became even more cautious. The others were equally on high alert.
The car arrived safely at the entrance of the Kyoto Museum. Several rows of soldiers stood at the entrance, with a battalion commander at the front who was of the same rank as Chang Yin and his men. Several soldiers beside him also had serious expressions.
Behind them, several men in their fifties or sixties, dressed in Zhongshan suits, were anxiously watching Tang Yue's truck. They were probably museum experts.
Once the trucks were parked, the battalion commander of the receiving party waved his hand, and a row of soldiers behind him immediately came over and surrounded the trucks.
Chang Yin and Xu Hongchang sat in the passenger seats of the two trucks. They got out of the trucks at the same time, and Chen Erniu and the others jumped out from the back. Then, the people in the trucks carefully handed the treasure boxes to the people below.
Their own people also formed a circle around the person carrying the treasure and walked towards the person in charge of handing it over at the museum entrance. Tang Yue walked beside the person carrying the treasure.
Both sides formally saluted. Tang Yue and Tang Shengkai had never seen such a scene before, and they watched with great interest. At the same time, Tang Yue's mind was also scanning the surrounding situation.
Just as the group of people simultaneously grabbed the box containing the treasure, Tang Yue noticed several figures appearing on the surrounding rooftops. "Lie down!"
After shouting, Tang Yue teleported and grabbed two soldiers carrying treasures by the back of their collars, taking a large step back. Tang Shengkai, who always obeyed Tang Yue, had already acted when he sensed a change in his daughter's emotions. Tang Yue pulled the two soldiers apart, Tang Shengkai pulled the other two apart, and Chang Yin tackled one of them.
At the same time, the location where the treasure had just been handed over, where the five people responsible for receiving the treasure were simultaneously shot at, was also hit by five bullets.
The bullet passed through the predetermined location and hit the ground not far away, creating five holes in the hard ground.
The five loud bangs created some chaos. After pulling the two apart, Tang Yue quickly dashed towards the two nearest buildings. These positions were likely pre-selected by enemy agents, but they had probably been patrolling beforehand, preventing them from making a move.
However, when they were handing over the reins, which meant they had already succeeded, they prepared to directly shatter China's dream.
So these people were all prepared in advance. Just as the people at the museum entrance had sorted out the situation, a tiny figure, a little over a meter tall, came back from afar, carrying an unconscious person in each hand.
Wang Xuejun, the battalion commander in charge of the handover in Beijing, frowned as he looked at the young girl who was about to approach. "Battalion Commander Xu, why aren't your men here to protect the handover? Why are they out doing other things?"
Xu Hongchang...
What does this person mean? Is he trying to shirk responsibility?
"Battalion Commander Wang, when we were doing the handover just now, Company Commander Tang was right there watching. And, just now, it was Company Commander Tang who helped protect the treasures that two of your men were carrying."
Wang Xuejun frowned. "Battalion Commander Xu, according to regulations, your men cannot leave before the handover is complete."
Tang Yue had already approached and raised an eyebrow as she listened to Wang Xuejun's words. He was trying to shirk responsibility.
They threw the two unconscious men to the ground, along with their sniper rifles. "We've completed the handover. The items are in your hands; logically, our mission is finished."
What? Is Battalion Commander Wang afraid of taking responsibility if the treasure isn't protected?
Tang Yue stared intently at Wang Xuejun with her large eyes, who was clearly displeased. "We haven't even..."
"Does Battalion Commander Wang mean we should protect you as you transport the treasure to the museum and place it where it belongs? If so, we could have done it ourselves outside. Why would we need an entire battalion like Battalion Commander Wang to come here?"
Battalion Commander Wang was speechless, and could only look at Xu Hongchang, "Battalion Commander Xu, your men have deserted their posts..."
"Dereliction of duty? Battalion Commander Wang, are you talking about me?"
Tang Yue looked at Wang Xuejun, then at the two soldiers she had just saved. She pointed at them and said, "Heh, Battalion Commander Wang, you must have forgotten that if I hadn't pulled them up, you'd be seeing their corpses now."
Furthermore, the treasures they possessed could not possibly remain intact in their arms as they do now.
The two of them genuinely hadn't reacted yet; they hadn't paid attention when Tang Yue told them to lie down. To be honest, a soft, childlike voice really wouldn't have caught their attention.
Seeing the awkwardness flash across their faces, Wang Xuejun knew that Tang Yue was telling the truth. However, he still had some questions.
"You were there just now, and you even helped them up?"
Wang Xuejun looked at Tang Yue suspiciously, pointing to the two unconscious people on the ground. "What about these two? You mean after you took those two, you went and captured two snipers?"
Tang Yue looked directly at Wang Xuejun, "Yes, but by the time I got to the third location, the person had already run away. I didn't catch up."
