Li Xiao had been keeping a close eye on the progress of the base's convoy. They weren't moving very fast and it would take them some time to reach the industrial area.
Li Xiao explained the situation in detail, and Yu Yanbin analyzed, "How about this, we wait near them and let them go first. We'll just follow behind. We're just looking for someone, there's no need to be aggressive."
“Yes, we just need to find that group of people, we don’t need to worry about anything else.” Cheng Shaolin leaned back in his chair, his deep eyes hidden beneath his lowered brows.
He then turned to look at Li Xiao sitting next to him, "Xiao Xiao, how far away are those people from us?"
Li Xiao turned to the side and said to those around her, "They are to our right front, at the 2 o'clock position. We can cut across the street ahead and wait for them one street away."
"Okay, that's fine, let's do it that way."
Team leader Yu Yanbin made the decision to implement this method.
As the car approached the next intersection, it turned right and continued in a different direction.
Following this direction and the information Li Xiao provided from time to time, the car weaved through the streets and changed lanes, soon arriving at the street closest to the base convoy.
“Stop here, just wait here. They’ll pass by on that street over there.” Li Xiao pointed to a spot where the car should stop. “Now, there’s only one problem to solve first.”
She looked at Captain Yu Yanbin, who raised an eyebrow and gestured for Li Xiao to continue.
"The final thing we need to solve is that we need to know which car is where the people we are looking for are sitting."
Yu Yanbin chuckled upon hearing this, as did Cheng Shaolin, and the two of them looked at Shao Jie at the same time.
Yu Yanbin said to Shao Jie, "Shao Jie, we need to confirm exactly which car each person is in, and how many people are in total. Go keep watch at the intersection, okay?"
Shao Jie excels at this; he's quick on his feet, so keeping an eye on the number of people is no problem.
"No problem, this is easy. Just watch." Shao Jie stood up and walked out of the car, quickly rounding the corner and disappearing from sight.
Yu Yanbin had great confidence in Shao Jie's abilities, so he didn't give him any further instructions and let him go.
"This was planned long ago. Shao Jie is capable of completing it. Just wait and see."
Li Xiao had no objection to this arrangement and leaned back in her chair, waiting for news with peace of mind.
They were actually quite close to the convoy; previously, at the same destination, Li Xiao's group would have been a bit further away.
After taking a detour, due to their speed, Li Xiao's group actually arrived at their inevitable route earlier than them.
Within 10 minutes, the sound of numerous cars driving could be heard.
The sound was heavy, and the speed was not fast.
They didn't expect that there was a car parked just across the street, waiting for them.
At this moment, the bus was filled with people with supernatural abilities. Swaying slightly from the bus's bumpy ride, they remained as steady as a seated monk, resting with their eyes closed.
It's as if nothing in the outside world matters to them; they remain indifferent to everything, their expressions cold and aloof.
Shao Jie hid in a dark corner and sat down behind a pile of clutter. Through the crooked gaps in the clutter, he watched the cars drive by one after another.
Once they determined that the person they were looking for was on the fourth bus, Shao Jie quickly returned and sped back to the bus.
"How did it go?" Tian Tian had been watching the intersection and quickly asked when she saw Shao Jie return.
"I saw them. They were in the fourth car, with 16 people in it. I don't know if they were all from the same group."
Yu Yanbin chuckled, "I knew it would be like this."
As soon as he said that, everyone looked at him.
He didn't mince words and continued, "After hearing what they said, I knew they couldn't possibly be among the top-ranking members of the base."
"What do you mean by taking turns? You're kidding me. Only the strong ones will be given these kinds of missions."
After saying that, he looked at them with disdain, "Those with real power wouldn't be like them, making a deal over a cigarette. That's just because they've never seen the world."
The meaning is self-evident.
A truly capable team will only be fawned over. What haven't they seen? Would they act like they've never seen the world before, rushing to accept a cigarette at the sight of one? In their eyes, that's just treating someone like a beggar.
Except for Cheng Shaolin, everyone else seemed to have a sudden realization.
Does social class determine one's perspective?
Learned it.
Seeing that everyone looked like they had learned something, Yu Yanbin said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiaoxiao."
Li Xiao, who was called out, looked completely bewildered...
"You can ask her, put yourself in her shoes, give her a few sweets, and see if she reveals anything. Then you can see her reaction."
Tian Tian was very interested in this, so she quickly came over and leaned on the back of Li Xiao's seat to ask her, "Xiao Xiao, tell me, if this is the suggestion, what would you do?"
Li Xiao glanced at Tian Tian, then rolled her eyes dramatically, followed by a disdainful sneer. "Tch, are you kidding me? Do you think I'm some kind of country bumpkin? A few candies?! Are you kidding me?!"
...
Hahaha……
Everyone laughed at her.
Yu Yanbin sat opposite him, his eyelashes lowered, and chuckled softly.
"See? A little favor won't sway someone who has truly experienced good things. Although the examples given are different, the principle is the same."
Yu Yanbin gave Li Xiao a meaningful look. This woman had seen the world; no one had as much money as her.
Li Xiao understood the meaning behind Yu Yanbin's glance, but simply rolled her eyes at him and that was it.
Pshaw, I bought mine with real money, who can compare to me?
When you have a lot, you really don't care about a little bit. Seriously, you have so much; a little bit won't even get you to the corner of her eye.
"Now you understand, right? Those people's strength is just so-so, not at the very top, at most in the upper-middle range. You can tell just by looking at where they're sitting."
At this point, everyone nodded in agreement.
Yu Yanbin looked at this group of good students with a face full of satisfaction.
"Alright, they're gone. We can catch up now. Xiaoxiao, keep an eye on that car."
"We've been watching them; they can't escape."
"Okay, Xiao Peng, go drive. It doesn't matter if you drive slowly."
"Okay, sure." Xiao Peng walked into the driver's seat.
The car started again, but not very fast; it was much slower than before.
Li Xiao stared at the group of people as they slowly drove into the area that was entirely an industrial park.
It's full of factory buildings, but I don't know what they're used for.
It just fell behind, swaying back and forth at a distance.
They don't understand why things are done this way. Can't we be faster and make the most of the time?
Every time they went out to collect supplies, they raced against time, doing it as quickly as possible.
More time would allow them to find more supplies, but these people are taking their time; they look like they're going on a picnic.
That's so strange.
