Chapter 217

Chang Ning knew she had been misunderstood as soon as she saw the two of them.

So he quickly said, "You two take a closer look."

As she spoke, Chang Ning deliberately stepped aside so that the two of them could take a closer look at who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Sure, we just met today, and we're already sharing a room tonight," Xiao Zhuang said, winking.

Chang Ning didn't expect that the plot wouldn't go in the direction he had anticipated at all.

Well, the misunderstanding has only deepened.

When Ma Qitong saw that Chang Ning's two companions had misunderstood them, she was not angry at all, but rather quite happy.

She didn't explain, but just watched as Chang Ning hurriedly pulled the two of them aside.

"It's not what you think!" Chang Ning said with a wry smile.

"Just admit it, I think that girl really likes you," Xiao Zhuang said.

"Yes, Changning, you've made a mistake." Old Pao said with a serious expression.

This is a matter of conduct. As Chang Ning's old squad leader, he couldn't just watch Chang Ning make a mistake.

Chang Ning realized he had to explain quickly, or else these two would start to imagine something.

So Chang Ning told the two of them everything about Ma Qitong.

"So you want us to help you reject her request?"

Seeing that Lao Pao understood what he meant, Chang Ning nodded repeatedly.

“Yes, it’s not good for her to come along when we’re on a mission, and her identity is too sensitive.”

"I think it would be good to bring Ma Qitong along."

Xiao Zhuang clearly has a different perspective on this matter than Chang Ning.

"This won't do. It's against the rules. We can't involve ordinary people..."

Chang Ning was interrupted by Lao Pao, who gestured for Xiao Zhuang to continue.

“There are now checkpoints for the Blue Army at every intersection outside. The closer you get to the supply transfer station, the more Blue Army there are.”

With our skills, infiltrating in shouldn't be a problem, but what about after we get out?
With a woman covering for us, we can escape.

After all, no one expected the exercise to involve ordinary people.

"Wouldn't that be a foul?"

The veteran was a little undecided.

"Whose rules?" Xiao Zhuang asked Lao Pao.

"of course……"

The old man suddenly realized what he had said halfway through the conversation.

That's right! The exercise rules didn't say anything about not involving ordinary people!
They were required to memorize the exercise rules issued by the directing department before they set off. How could they find loopholes if they didn't remember these rules?
Anyone with eyes to see knows that ordinary people cannot participate in this kind of exercise; it's a rule that everyone is aware of.

However, if you don't write this kind of thing into the rules, then you can always find a way to justify yourself later.

The old man had clearly thought of this as well, so he and Xiao Zhuang both looked at Chang Ning.

It's so obvious, the result is self-evident.

Chang Ning could only respond with a wry smile.

"It's okay to bring Ma Qitong along, but we can't let her know exactly what we did."

Logically, it must align with my and her description of my identity and background; I cannot reveal any flaws.

Our identities are highly confidential.

Xiao Zhuang and Lao Pao agreed with Chang Ning's suggestion.

Firstly, as Chang Ning said, their identities are military secrets with a very high level of secrecy. If Ma Qitong finds out, wouldn't that be a leak? The consequences would be severe.

Secondly, Chang Ning had explained Ma Qitong's family background very clearly to the two of them, and naturally, the three of them could not get too involved with her background.

Now that things had come to this, Chang Ning could no longer stop Ma Qitong from acting with them.

Seeing that the three of them had made up their minds, Ma Qitong asked expectantly, "So? Can I come with you?"

"Yes, but you must follow orders," Chang Ning said.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm with you, I'll do whatever you say."

"Okay, let's go then."

Ma Qitong was still driving, Chang Ning was in the passenger seat, and the other two people were in the back.

Along the way, Chang Ning pointed at Ma Qitong and drove the car through a maze of turns until it reached the entrance of a bar.

Chang Ning and the other two got out of the car, and Ma Qitong wanted to follow. "You don't need to go in."

Chang Ning stood at the car door, preventing Ma Qitong from getting off.

"How can that be? You all promised I could come along."

As Ma Qitong was about to get out of the car, Chang Ning blocked the door.

The tall and strong Chang Ning blocked the car door; how could Ma Qitong, who was not strong enough, push him away?

"You can only go this far, or you can go back," Chang Ning said coldly.

"Ok."

Seeing that Chang Ning wasn't joking, Ma Qitong sat back down, looking sullen.

"Then I'll wait for you here."

"it is good."

After calming Ma Qitong down, Chang Ning met up with the two at the bar entrance.

"Resolved?" the old man asked.

"Ah."

Chang Ning nodded without offering further explanation.

The bar was just a pretext to fool Ma Qitong; their destination was in another block.

It's just one street away from this bar.

The three left through the back door and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye after crossing the road.

Avoiding the Blue Army's patrols, they arrived at the wall of the supply distribution center, where the three of them formed a human ladder and climbed over.

A three-meter-high wall is a piece of cake for them.

Despite the tight security outside the operations center, there aren't that many people inside.

It was already late at night, but there were still quite a few transport vehicles coming and going.

They seemed exceptionally busy.

The three split up, taking pre-made time bombs, setting the time, and placing them in specific locations.

……

"How are you?"

Chang Ning, who had finished his task ahead of schedule, leaned against a lamppost and watched Lao Pao and Xiao Zhuang rush over.

Neither of them spoke, but Xiao Zhuang gave Chang Ning an "OK" sign.

“Let’s go back, or the Blue Army in this city will be in an uproar,” Chang Ning said.

"Aren't we leaving?"

The old man looked at Chang Ning with surprise.

"If the operations center explodes, the Blue Army will definitely impose a citywide curfew."

It will be difficult to get out then, so it's better to stay in the city, right under their noses—that's called "the darkest place is under the lamp."

Chang Ning appeared relaxed, showing no signs of being about to face a search by the Blue Army.

After listening to Chang Ning's plan, Xiao Zhuang and Lao Pao felt that it made sense.

Rather than risk venturing out of town when the Blues are in disarray, it's better to stay right under their noses.

The three of them returned the way they came and walked out of the bar entrance in a very natural and unhurried manner.

"Where to next?" Ma Qitong asked.

She realized that she had come along to be Chang Ning's driver.

Now that she's already out there, there's nothing she can do, no matter how resentful she feels. She can only obediently play her role.

"go back."

Chang Ning leaned back in his seat, squinting his eyes as he spoke lazily.

Just as Chang Ning had said, the streets were full of Blue Army soldiers on their way back. If it weren't for the fact that it was early morning and there were hardly any people out in the small county town at this time, it would have caused a traffic jam.

When the car reached an intersection, they were stopped by the Blue Team.

Apart from Chang Ning, the other three people immediately tensed up.

"Dangdangdang~"

A Blue Army sergeant came to the car and gently knocked on the window, signaling Ma Qitong to open it.
