Chapter 218

"What's going on today? Why are there so many soldiers on the streets?"

Before the Blue Army sergeant could even ask, Ma Qitong rolled down the car window and preemptively struck.

The Blue Army sergeant was taken aback when he realized the people in the car were asking him questions.

"can not say."

The sergeant, regaining his composure, refused to answer Ma Qitong's question.

"Madam, did you see anything on your way back...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the Blue Army sergeant saw three burly men sitting in the car.

Although the three men in the car were all dressed in civilian clothes, their military aura was too strong.

The stubble of hair cut close to the scalp and the way the three men in the car occasionally glanced at themselves all revealed the special status of the three men in the car.

The sergeant's hand, hanging low at his trouser seam, made small, quick hand gestures to his comrades.

"What should we do?" Xiao Zhuang, sitting in the back seat, asked Lao Pao in a low voice.

Although the sergeant's actions in stopping the car were discreet, they were far too obvious to Chang Ning and his colleagues.

Lao Pao didn't respond to Xiao Zhuang immediately; he first looked at Chang Ning sitting in the passenger seat.

Chang Ning seemed not to have seen the Blue Army sergeant at all, and was resting with his eyes closed.

I don't know if she was really asleep or just pretending.

Seeing Chang Ning like this, Lao Pao frowned.

At this moment, he couldn't wake Chang Ning. Suppressing his anger, Lao Pao gently tapped Xiao Zhuang's leg a few times.

It was Morse code. What Lao Pao meant to Xiao Zhuang was: Keep your troops at bay.

"Hey! What did we see on the way? If you don't tell us, we're leaving."

As she spoke, Ma Qitong actually started the car, making a move to leave.

The Blue Army sergeant found what appeared to be Red Army scouts in Ma Qitong's car, and it was highly likely that the guys in the car were the ones who destroyed their warehouse.

How could we possibly let Ma Qitong drive away at a time like this?

“See people acting suspiciously, like they're walking furtively as if they've done something wrong.”

The sergeant glanced at Chang Ning and the others in the car, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.

Chang Ning seemed to be truly asleep, not even opening his eyes when the Blue Army questioned him.

"Sorry, I was focused on driving and didn't pay attention to the people on the road."

Ma Qitong was extremely flustered while talking to the Blue Army sergeant.

She thought that Chang Ning and his gang's arms dealing had been exposed and that the soldiers on the roadside were there to arrest them.

"The people in your car seem quite suspicious to me!"

Get out of the car for inspection!

Several Blue Team members who arrived surrounded the car.

Ma Qitong's inner turmoil was now evident on her face; her hand gripped the gear shift lever tightly.

She clearly intended to force her way through the Blue Team's checkpoint!

Just as Ma Qitong released the clutch, Chang Ning's large hand tightly enveloped her hand that was on the gear shift lever.

"Relax," Chang Ning said.

He then opened the car door and got out of the car.

"Sergeant, there's no need to be so tense."

Chang Ning said calmly, showing no awareness of being surrounded by the Blue Army.

"You're definitely not an ordinary person!"

Chang Ning's words did not relax the Blue Team sergeant; on the contrary, the atmosphere became even more tense.

Ordinary people cannot distinguish military ranks.

Chang felt completely relaxed after scanning the armed Blue Army soldiers surrounding them.

“You’ve really misunderstood us. We are indeed ordinary people. It’s just that we’ve only recently regained our status as ordinary people.”

"Enough with the nonsense! Hand over your identification." The sergeant wasn't going to argue with Chang Ning any further.

"Who carries their ID card when they go out to play? But I can give you the ID number and you can still find the information."

By the way, we just retired this year.

Chang Ning's last sentence, seemingly addressed to the Blue Army sergeant, was actually a reminder to Xiao Zhuang and Lao Pao.

“Write it down here,” the Blue Army sergeant said.

When Chang Ning took the notebook, he gave the Blue Army sergeant a harmless smile.

After taking back the notebook, the Blue Army sergeant handed it to a soldier next to him and instructed him to use it to check the information on Chang Ning and the other two.

The Blue Team responded quickly, and the results came back shortly afterward.

"You can go."

After carefully reviewing the information on Chang Ning and the other two, the sergeant waved his hand, signaling the Blue Army to clear the way for them.

Looking out the car window at the Blue Army gradually pulling away from them, Lao Pao and Xiao Zhuang finally relaxed.

"Hey kid, can't you at least give me a heads-up if you have any ideas?"

Old Pao was so angry at Chang Ning's unilateral decision that he punched Chang Ning's sturdy back a few times.

"Exactly! If you hadn't reminded me at the last minute, I wouldn't know how I would have handled it."

Xiao Zhuang's resentment towards Chang Ning this time is no less than that of Lao Pao, mainly because Chang Ning really went too far this time.

If either of them fails to guess Chang Ning's intentions, the exposure will happen in an instant.

"It all happened so suddenly. I'll let you know in advance next time."

To be honest, Chang Ning was quite puzzled, because in the original storyline, there was no scene where he was stopped and questioned by the Blue Army.

However, it cannot be ruled out that it was originally there, but was ultimately cut out by the director.

Knowing that the problem was indeed on her side, Chang Ning was very proactive in admitting her mistake and did not try to make excuses for herself.

The reason the three were able to pass the Blue Team's check was because the ID numbers they provided were incorrect.

The information on the ID numbers does not belong to them, but to their comrades who retired from Night Tiger this year.

The Blue Army was able to find some information based on the information provided by Chang Ning and the other two, and the information itself was not false. However, whether they could match it up depended on the Blue Army's ability.

Clearly, the Blue Team didn't investigate further, allowing Chang Ning and his two teammates to exploit the loophole.

"Where do we go next?" Ma Qitong asked.

Looking at Ma Qitong's pretty face full of collagen, Chang Ning actually saw an expression of excitement on it.

What a hell!
As the daughter of someone who sells drugs, shouldn't she be nervous about something like this? What's with that excited look?

"Cough cough~"

Old Pao, sitting in the back seat, pretended to cough; given Ma Qitong's status, they could no longer have contact with her.

Even disregarding her sensitive background, if we treat her as an ordinary person, it's not appropriate for Chang Ning and the other two to continue having too much contact with her.

Their identities were, after all, far too sensitive.

"Just take us back to the hotel, and then we can have a good night's sleep," Chang Ning said.

The Blue Army has set up checkpoints on all the major roads leading out of the city, so it won't be easy for Chang Ning and his group to get out. They might as well stay in the hotel for the night.

Thanks to Ma Qitong, Chang Ning and the others had decent accommodations. Although it wasn't a star-rated hotel, it was considered high-end in the small county town.

"alright."

Hearing that Chang Ning planned to return to the hotel, Ma Qitong was somewhat unhappy.

She didn't want to go back so soon.

She wasn't stupid; she knew it was unrealistic to expect Chang Ning and the others to take her away.

She left so quietly; her father must be worried sick.

If the enraged father does anything rash, things will get out of hand.

So tonight might be the last time she sees Chang Ning.

Thinking about this made Ma Qitong feel even worse.
