So, by the time everyone arrived...
He was facing Xiao Yichen, who was surprisingly calm.
Director Zhang noticed the blood on his hands and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Has this meant they've started fighting?
Who is this person? He's so powerful that he even injured Old Xiao.
Are these people capable of handling this, or is the operation temporarily suspended?
They are waiting for foreign aid.
Or this person has already been eliminated.
Is that why Lao Xiao is so calm?
My mind is filled with countless thoughts.
Director Zhang's first concern was still for his temporary partner.
However, there was a hint of teasing in his tone: "Old Xiao, what happened to your hand?"
Even something as simple as stalking can end up with blood on your hands. Has the guy been discovered?
Besides, aren't you usually incredibly arrogant?
How did you get injured?
Well, Zhang's current mindset is that he has a friend who is always number one in exams, while he himself is always number two.
The two are both rivals and friends.
Director Zhang, the perennial runner-up, has always been overshadowed by Xiao Yichen, the top scorer.
They shared a mutual appreciation and were kindred spirits.
He also wanted to surpass him, eliminate him, and become the boss himself.
He showed concern and made some teasing remarks about Xiao Yichen's injury.
Of course, the majority of the people involved are concerned.
Xiao Yichen didn't say anything after hearing what Director Zhang said.
I glanced at him.
Many things flashed through his eyes.
In the end, nothing was said.
He stubbed out his cigarette on the stone and said casually, "It's nothing, it's alright."
Then, he stood up and took out a neatly folded piece of white paper from his shirt pocket.
Unfolding it reveals a hand-drawn map.
This was drawn by Xiao Yichen himself.
Simple and clear, yet precise in its writing.
Even the best advisor would have to say, this skill is absolutely amazing!
Classes can now be started.
Xiao Yichen took out the map, unfolded it, and placed it on the rock where he had been sitting.
Several people in charge immediately surrounded them.
Xiao Yichen marked a spot with a pencil at the bottom of a cliff.
In a serious tone: "Comrades, their hideout is right here, below the cliff."
It's about a kilometer away from here.
The surrounding terrain is relatively open, which is not conducive to concealment. We will launch the attack at night.
This hideout is a five-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) that has been built over many years. The space is relatively simple, which also means it is not conducive to our infiltration.
Therefore, once inside, please try not to fire and take cover.
Upon hearing Xiao Yichen's introduction, Director Zhang snorted indignantly, his sourness practically emanating from his nose.
"To build a courtyard house in such a godforsaken place, one must be incredibly wealthy, especially with five courtyards. What a rich landlord one must be."
They must have so much money they didn't know where to throw it all away, so they dumped it here.
Or perhaps they offended some major enemy, the kind who would wipe out their entire family, so they ran to a place like this.
Otherwise, they are either rich but heartless, causing harm to the local area, and can only flee to such places to avoid disaster.
Otherwise, who would come here? We have nothing here. We do have plenty of large livestock, though!
It's a five-courtyard house; Old Zhang has never seen such a big house before.
That person must be incredibly wealthy!
Those around Zhang nodded in agreement as they listened to his rambling.
Absolutely, they are rich!
Xiao Yichen looked up and glanced at Director Zhang.
Director Zhang, who was originally thinking of making a few complaints, immediately shut up.
For some reason, Xiao Yichen's face didn't show any extra expression, and it didn't even seem to change from usual.
However, Director Zhang felt that he had better go along with Xiao Yichen now, or he would suffer the consequences.
Seeing that Director Zhang had shut up, those around him who had also wanted to say something after hearing about this huge wealth gap also fell silent.
We're all used to walking on cliffs, so we're not afraid of this.
The current Deputy Captain Xiao looks like someone you shouldn't mess with.
Seeing that everyone was a bit too tense and the atmosphere was a little awkward, Deputy Captain Zhao quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"How should we attack? Captain Xiao, you should come up with the attack plan."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yichen said nothing more.
They let Director Zhang off the hook for now.
He lowered his head and continued pointing out the landscape on the map.
Xiao Yichen pointed to a line with a pencil: "This is the only passage in and out of here, and it's surrounded by cliffs."
Then, pointing to a small circle on the map, he introduced to everyone: "This is a deep pool, and above it is a waterfall."
The surrounding area was a rocky beach, offering little cover, but a shallow stream flowed right below, posing no danger.
Then, he used a pencil to mark a small high point on the map.
He raised his head and solemnly analyzed the situation of the enemy and himself to everyone.
"This is the closest place we can get to."
This is the first high point outside the courtyard house. Along this mountain peak, using it as a line, we are basically safe outside this line.
Their sentries couldn't spot us.
But online, we're easy targets.
Everyone, once you enter this area, please remain concealed. Remove all reflective materials from your clothing.
All personnel must be properly disguised.
If necessary, crawl forward.
In addition, we will take action promptly at 1 a.m.
I'll lead my men down this side of the cliff first, take control of the lookouts, and then open the gate. You can go in then.
Pay attention to cooperation. Silence should be the primary objective in all actions.
