After receiving the order, Investigator Cheng immediately arranged several agile and experienced scouts to conduct 24-hour no-blind-angle monitoring of Xue.
After all, he is a veteran of the alliance. Xue Neying's residence is located in the core area of the base and is heavily guarded. It would take some effort to monitor him without anyone noticing.
Each of these scouts is an expert, proficient in various camouflage and tracking techniques.
They disguised themselves as ordinary residents, patrol members, and even street cleaners, lurking around Xue like ghosts, always watching his every move.
After a few days, Xue Neiying's daily routine became like that set by artificial intelligence: getting up early to exercise, eating on time, working conscientiously and responsibly, and resting on time at night.
He is simply a model of the alliance and there is nothing wrong with him.
"Old Xue's life is too regular. He's even more punctual than my grandmother." A scout in charge of surveillance couldn't help but complain, "Is he really wronged?"
Just when everyone was about to let down their guard, an unusual situation occurred.
For several consecutive nights, Xue Neiying would leave his residence alone at around 2 a.m. and go to the uninhabited area on the edge of the base.
Each time he went out, he didn't stay long, about an hour, and then returned quietly.
"Good guy, why are you not sleeping so late at night? Are you sleepwalking?" The scouts immediately became alert. He must be doing something bad so late at night!
When the news reached Mou Xuan's ears, he frowned. Xue Neying's abnormal behavior made him even more suspicious.
Could he really be connected to "Shadow Stealth"?
What do you do when you go out late at night?
At this time, the scout who had been keeping a close eye on Xue's nemesis discovered that his whereabouts had become more cautious and he no longer went out as regularly as before.
It seems that this old fox realized that he was being targeted.
"Interesting." Mou Xuan showed a hint of sneer on his face, "Playing hide-and-seek with me? You're still a little naive." He decided to do the opposite and deliberately relax the surveillance on Xue's accomplice, creating a sense of security for him, paralyzing his nerves and making him show his true colors.
Sure enough, after a few days, Xue's accomplice started to act again.
This time, his target was an abandoned warehouse outside the alliance base.
This warehouse is located in a remote area and few people go in and out, making it an ideal place for conducting secret activities.
Mou Xuan and Investigator Cheng, along with several elite soldiers, quietly followed Xue Neiying.
Under the cover of night, their figures were as agile as cheetahs, approaching the warehouse silently.
Shortly after Xue Neiying entered the warehouse, there was a sudden sound of fierce fighting inside.
The clanging of metal colliding, roars, and screams intertwined together, breaking the tranquility of the night.
"Not good! Something's happening!" Mou Xuan's face changed, and he immediately ordered, "Break the door!"
Several soldiers worked together to break open the warehouse door and rushed in.
Inside the warehouse, Xue Neiying was fighting fiercely with a masked man in black.
The man in black was agile and ruthless, and he was obviously a well-trained assassin.
Although Xue Neiying was at a disadvantage, he still resisted stubbornly and had no intention of retreating.
"Stop!" Mou Xuan shouted, breaking the tense atmosphere in the warehouse.
The man in black heard the sound and dodged, trying to escape.
However, Investigator Cheng and several soldiers who were well prepared had already blocked the exit of the warehouse.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" Investigator Cheng roared, rushed forward and fought with the man in black.
Mou Xuan wanted to help Xue Neiying, but suddenly found that... Xue Neiying's moves... were a little strange...
"Wait..." "Wait..." There was a barely perceptible tremor in Mou Xuan's voice. He stared at Xue Neying, his pupils shrinking suddenly.
Xue's tactics seem messy, but they actually contain mysteries.
Every block was just right to avoid the black-clad man's vital points; every counterattack seemed to be deliberately missed, giving the black-clad man a chance to catch his breath.
This isn't a fight, it's clearly... a secret signal!
What frightened Mou Xuan even more was that Xue Neiying's eyes were flickering and evasive, and he didn't dare to look him in the eye.
This is completely different from his usual open and honest image!
"Old Xue...you..." Mou Xuan's voice was a little choked. He really didn't want to believe that this old comrade who had fought side by side with him for many years would actually be an insider!
However, everything before him forced him to face reality.
It felt like swallowing a live fly, fluttering in my stomach, making me extremely sick.
"Could it be... that I really was wrong?" Mu Xuan's heart was in turmoil. He forced himself to calm down and carefully recalled every detail of his time with Xue Neying.
The loyalty that he once believed in was now overshadowed.
Those nights of fighting side by side, those moments of life and death, were they all fake?
Just when Mou Xuan was falling into self-doubt, the man in black seized on a "mistake" of Xue Neiying and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying.
Xue Neiying fell heavily to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Good opportunity!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes. He flashed and pounced on Xue Neying like a ghost. The dagger in his hand flashed with cold light and pierced his heart!
"Old Xue!" Investigator Cheng exclaimed and wanted to rescue him, but it was too late.
At this critical moment, Mou Xuan moved!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The black-clad man's dagger was less than one centimeter away from Xue Neying's heart.
