Li Xiyue's brow furrowed. Mu Cangnan was about to leave. If Mu Cangnan left, where would she find the system's energy source?!
Just as she was getting anxious, her X-ray vision unexpectedly revealed the end of the road, and the car lights flashed briefly before going out again.
Li Xiyue's pupils suddenly contracted. In this era, cars were not privately owned; only factories and government offices had cars. When drivers finished their shifts at night, the cars had to be parked and driven back to their workplaces.
Residents living in this area are unlikely to own cars.
The unusual scene immediately alerted her, and her X-ray vision kept a close eye on the car.
The jeep stopped at the corner of the small road and didn't move, nor did the people inside get out.
A feeling of unease swept over Li Xiyue's heart; this was completely wrong!
Why do people remain seated in a car even after it has arrived at their destination?
The car was parked right at the corner, and you couldn't see it at all when you came out of Mu Cangnan's house.
To her utter surprise, a plot that only appears in movies actually happened to her without warning!
In milliseconds, she made a choice between her own safety and the crisis facing her country: she would protect her nation!
She hopped on her bicycle and rode towards the car in the distance.
Just as Li Xiyue was riding her bicycle and approaching the car, her X-ray vision revealed that the people inside had handguns tucked into their waistbands!
Her heart clenched suddenly. Her judgment was correct. These people were spies, and they were after Mu Cangnan. Mu Cangnan was in danger!
Her keen hearing caught the sound of Mu Cangnan opening the courtyard gate.
She stomped her foot on the ground, stopping the bicycle, and reached out to pat the jeep door.
The simple act of knocking on the door made the men sitting in the car feel their blood pressure about to drop.
How bold is this girl to dare to bang on their car door!
What's most infuriating is the loud banging on the door. They were lying in ambush here, and such a loud noise would probably alert Mu Cangnan!
The driver rolled down his window and asked in a low voice, "Where did this brat come from? Get lost!"
Li Xiyue yelled, "You bastard, who are you telling to get lost! I'm lost, why can't I ask you a question?"
Do you live around here? How do I get to Ruijin Road?
Her voice was very loud, especially in the quiet of the night in the 1970s. Even a soft voice could carry far, let alone when she shouted at the top of her lungs!
The people in the car instantly went ballistic. If they weren't afraid of being exposed, they would have pulled out their guns and shot Li Xiyue!
The driver forced out the words through clenched teeth, "I don't know it! Get out!"
Li Xiyue continued, "You call yourself a driver? You don't even know Ruijin Road? How do you drive? Why are you parking here if you don't live here?!"
As she talked to the driver, she watched Mu Cangnan walk out of the Mu family home from the other end of the road.
Clearly, her voice had alerted Mu Cangnan.
Mu Cangnan's two comrades immediately whispered in his ear, "There's movement over there, a car! This isn't right, let's take another route!"
Mu Cangnan glanced at his watch and said, "The comrades who are supposed to meet us will be here soon!"
But why does the voice coming from afar sound so much like Yue'er's voice?!
How could Yue'er be here? Could he be hallucinating?
As he finished speaking, a jeep drove up from the other end of the road.
The car stopped beside Mu Cangnan, and the car door opened.
The comrade in the jeep lowered his voice and said, "Comrade Mu, get in the car quickly! We are wild wolves, there are poisonous snakes ahead, we can't go that way."
"Wild Wolf" is the code name for the person in charge of the rendezvous.
Upon hearing that the code name was correct, Mu Cangnan put the box in the car and instructed his colleagues, "You two get in the car and protect Miss Qiu. I'll drive our jeep and follow the original route to lure away the snakes!"
Mu Cangnan's colleague immediately objected, "No way! How can we let you lure away the poisonous snakes? It's too dangerous! I'll go!"
Mu Cangnan said, "When you get there, they'll know we've changed our route. They won't recognize you!"
I am in charge of this operation. All orders must be obeyed. For the strength of our nation, get on the bus!
"Can……"
Before Mu Cangnan's colleague could say anything, Mu Cangnan pushed him into the car.
Mu Cangnan got into his jeep and drove along the original route.
In the jeep behind him, two young comrades watched their leader risk his life, and their eyes welled up with tears.
They had no choice but to follow Mu Cangnan's orders and take another route with the wild wolves who were there to meet them.
Li Xiyue saw Mu Cangnan driving towards her from afar.
She was both anxious and angry. What was Mu Cangnan doing here at this time? Couldn't he have taken another route?!
Mu Cangnan finally saw the girl and the car standing in the hidden spot at the corner of the alley.
His pupils suddenly dilated in surprise—it was Li Xiyue!
It really is Li Xiyue!
He wasn't hallucinating!
Without even thinking about why Li Xiyue was there, he slammed on the brakes, rolled down the window, and asked, "Young lady, what are you making so much noise about in the middle of the night?"
As Mu Cangnan's jeep came to a stop, the armed men sitting inside looked at each other with unease, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
Mu Cangnan actually stopped, and he actually started talking to the girl!
Mu Cangnan has completely stumped them. What are they going to do now?
Li Xiyue was sweating profusely with anxiety. Why did Mu Cangnan have to stop and drive away? He should have just driven away quickly.
She pursed her lips slightly and said, "I...I'm lost. I'm looking for Ruijin Road..."
Mu Cangnan said, "You're looking for Ruijin Road? I know it! You've gone to the wrong intersection. Get in the car, I'll take you to the right one."
Li Xiyue immediately parked her bicycle on the side of the road and locked it.
She opened the car door and got into Mu Cangnan's jeep.
To her surprise, Mu Cangnan was the only person in the jeep.
Fortunately, it was too dark for the people outside the jeep to see what was happening inside and they didn't know that Mu Cangnan was the only person in the jeep.
As she closed the car door, Mu Cangnan stepped on the gas and drove away.
The spies sitting in the car looked at each other, wondering what to do.
The next moment, the head of the secret service realized what was happening and immediately ordered the driver to chase after Mu Cangnan!
Their mission was to intercept Mu Cangnan and snatch Miss Qiu from his hands!
Sitting in the jeep, Li Xiyue nervously turned her head to look back. Her X-ray vision allowed her to see much, much farther than the average person.
She could clearly see the jeep that was chasing after her.
She said anxiously, "Why did you park the car? You could have just driven it away!"
Mu Cangnan said, "What are you doing here?"
Suddenly, Mu Cangnan realized something.
He followed up with, "You're letting me leave? You know I'm here? You know where I'm going? You know who they are?!"
