Suddenly, before Director Deng and Yang Yuning could react, An Moxue lunged at Yang Yuning, and a bullet instantly struck the wall behind him where he had just been standing.
Upon hearing the noise, two members of the security team went inside to protect Yang Yuning and Deng Guanghui, quickly moved them to another room, and the rest of the team chased after them.
An Moxue supported Yang Yuning, and Deng Guanghui asked anxiously, "How are you two? Are you alright?"
An Moxue smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a false alarm."
Yang Yuning shook his head slightly, his expression pale. His face, covered in pustules, didn't reveal anything. He was still shaken and somewhat sluggish. Fortunately, he dodged the bullet and was not injured.
Less than two minutes later, a man returned and said to Deng Guanghui, "Chief, the enemy has escaped. They must be professional assassins using sniper rifles. If they miss a shot, they'll retreat immediately. Our men have followed their route."
Deng Guanghui asked, "Did you see his face clearly?"
The team member replied, "No, I only saw a back view. There were no obvious features. The kind of person who would be hard to notice in a crowd."
Deng Guanghui said, "Go down and prepare to relocate. Implement the second plan."
Then, turning to An Moxue and Yang Yuning, he said, "We can't stay here anymore; we need to find somewhere else. Moxue, how about we use a feint to our advantage while secretly making a move?"
An Moxue asked, "What do you mean?"
Deng Guanghui took out a piece of paper with only two addresses written on it. He pointed to one of the addresses and said, "I will find someone to impersonate Mr. Yang and go here under tight security." Then he pointed to the other place and said, "Then you take Mr. Yang here."
After reviewing the two addresses, An Moxue said, "Okay, but you need to provide me with weapons and a vehicle. Let's get ready now."
As An Moxue spoke, she took the backpack, opened it, took out the tools inside, and said, "Mr. Yang, let's go out in disguise this time. Just listen to me in a bit."
"Okay." Deng Guanghui went out to make arrangements.
Soon, the person impersonating Yang Yuning appeared in the room. His head and face were covered up tightly, but his figure did look somewhat similar.
An Moxue went to another room, changed her clothes, and when she returned, Deng Guanghui was already waiting. He said, "We'll leave first, and you can leave in half an hour. But don't worry, I've left a few people behind under the pretext of an investigation to prevent people in the guesthouse from moving around freely. You can leave with peace of mind."
An Moxue replied, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely protect Mr. Yang."
After An Moxue finished speaking, Deng Guanghui, along with his heavily disguised body double, left the guesthouse under tight security.
Yang Yuning asked, "Mo Xue, where are we going later?"
An Moxue took out a pen and paper and wrote on it, 'No. 3 Compound, Kyoto Military Region.'
Just by looking at the name, Yang Yuning knew this must be where important military personnel lived, and asked, "Is it safe here?"
An Moxue said, "It should be much safer than here. The place inside is full of military leaders and their families. The place we went to is No. 3, which is at the very back. It's a separate residence, but you have to check when you go in and out."
Yang Yuning said rather casually, "It's alright. Before these mercenaries and spies are eliminated, let's find a safe place and stay put. I can take this opportunity to organize the data."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Looking at his work clothes, Yang Yuning jokingly asked, "How is it? Don't I look like a worker toiling on the front lines?"
An Moxue looked her over carefully and said, "She looks like a union member, not a factory worker. There's nothing you can do about it; it's hard to change one's temperament. But it's alright."
"I haven't been anywhere since I came back! I really want to travel around, but I'm afraid that will be difficult!" Yang Yuning said, revealing a hint of longing.
An Moxue comforted her, "It will happen, but right now it's too dangerous and not appropriate."
Half an hour passed as the two were talking. An Moxue said, "We can go now."
Although the people at the guesthouse restricted her freedom, An Moxue still managed to avoid everyone, including the security team members who stayed behind, with Yang Yuning.
The two of them quietly slipped away through the back door of the guesthouse.
Yang Yuning was amazed to see An Moxue open the lock with a thin wire and then lock it again after they left. He asked, "Is there anything you can't do? How old are you when you start learning these skills?"
An Mo smiled, went out the back door of the guesthouse, didn't find anyone suspicious, led Yang Yuning through several streets to a jeep, opened the door, took the key, started the engine, and drove away.
The journey was smooth. When they arrived at No. 3 Courtyard of the Kyoto Military Region, An Moxue took out the pass that Deng Guanghui had given her and entered the No. 3 Courtyard without any problems. Then she drove all the way to the innermost No. 7 Residence.
An Moxue parked her car at the gate of the courtyard. She pointed to the house and said to Yang Yuning, "We're here. This is it."
Yang Yuning was still very curious about the place where the military bigwigs lived, and he asked, "Is it safe here?"
An Moxue answered confidently, saying, "I think it's much better than the guesthouse. I don't know who suggested staying in the guesthouse. Why not stay at the Kyoto Grand Hotel?" She was right. The initial accommodation was indeed arranged by those people from the Foreign Affairs Office. Deng Guanghui was worried about this accommodation, so he got special approval from his superiors, bypassing those people.
"Let's go down and take a look!" An Moxue said, getting out of the car, and Yang Yuning followed her out of the car.
The two of them carried simple luggage into the house. Just as An Moxue had expected, the house was tidy and clean, maintaining the usual military style, but it was also really simple.
Yang Yuning entered the living room, looked around curiously, and then followed An Moxue's arrangement to stay in the most secluded room, where An Moxue lived next door.
"Do our military leaders live in houses like this? And is the furniture inside the same?" he asked, pointing to the simple furniture.
An Moxue explained, "Yes, only those at the rank of army commander or above can be allocated this. The house and furniture are rented out monthly. New protection personnel may be sent later."
Yang Yuning said nonchalantly, "You can make the arrangements once we arrive. I'll listen to you."
Everything went smoothly for them, but Deng Guanghui encountered a group of people blocking his way not long after setting off. They were a bunch of thugs and bullies, numbering in the dozens, all carrying iron bars. When they saw their car, they started smashing it with their clubs, especially those who weren't wearing uniforms. They were particularly ruthless and targeted vital points.
Deng Guanghui was furious and gave the order, "Hold your guns in self-defense, kill!"
