Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

In the darkness of night,

"squeak!"

A black SUV was parked on the side of the road.

"Bang!"

Zhang Guoqiang opened the car door, got out, walked to the roadside to urinate, then looked up at the pitch-black night and took out his phone to make a call, saying, "Director Xia, we followed your instructions and exited from the expressway and parked on the roadside. Please advise on the next steps."

On the other end of the phone, Xia Keke said, "Captain Zhang, please return to the expressway in five minutes and continue driving forward. I'll be waiting for you at the Yanjiao toll station exit."

Zhang Guoqiang: "Yes."

Xia Keke added, "Just now, the other side used a drone to circle above the bread truck as a lookout and discovered that you were following them, so I told you to withdraw from the tracking."

Zhang Guoqiang cursed, "That bastard is so cunning."

Xia Keke: "Shirley and Ishida Mako are no pushovers. They are just as good as us in their respective fields, so we have to be extra careful."

Zhang Guoqiang: "Understood."

Zhang Guoqiang hung up the phone, got into the car, and said to the driver, "Let's go ahead and meet up with Director Xia and the others."

Inside the carriage,

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu and the other two became excited and eager to try it out.

Then Xiao Liu said, "I knew Director Xia would have a backup plan. It looks like we'll catch some big fish this time, and they'll be mermaids."

Zhang Guoqiang checked the time and said, "Director Xia said the other side was very cunning, even using drones to patrol above the bread truck. Damn, no wonder they're CIA agents, they're really professional."

Xiao Liu gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how professional they are, they're just outsiders. This is our home ground. If they're dragons, they have to coil up for us; if they're tigers, they have to lie down for us. Damn it, we Guoan didn't grow up eating grass either."

Another member of the National Security team said, "That's right, Captain Zhang, we have to teach the CIA agents a lesson this time, otherwise, those bastards won't know how many eyes the King of Horses has."

at the same time,

"squeak!"

The bread truck was parked in a small courtyard in a village within the city of Yanjiao.

After getting out of the car, Yan Wenlong said to Black Bear, "Drive the car to the village entrance and park it under that big tree on the left side of the road. You can sleep in the car and wait for my call anytime."

The black bear responded, "Yes, boss."

Yan Wenlong then said, "Black Bear, change the license plate."

Black Bear: "Understood, boss."

Then he looked at Sherry and Mako Ishida with his cloudy eyes, his greedy gaze lingering on the two women's high breasts and pert buttocks for a few moments, before licking his thick lips.

"Gurgle!"

The black bear swallowed hard, looked away reluctantly, then turned and got into the bread truck and drove away.

Shirley had seen the black bear's lewd expression.

She frowned and asked Yan Wenlong, "How old is the black bear?"

Yan Wenlong hesitated for a moment. He hadn't expected Shirley to ask such a trivial question. After thinking for a while, he said, "She should be around twenty-three or twenty-four. What's wrong? Why are you asking this?"

Shirley chuckled, "Black Bear must still be a virgin, never tasted a woman's flavor. The way he looked at me and Mako just now was terrifying, like he wanted to devour us alive. You men really aren't all good people."

Yan Wenlong laughed and said, "Shirley, you're exaggerating. Black Bear is a country bumpkin with little education. He lost both his parents at a young age and grew up in an orphanage. After turning eighteen, he went out to work but was tricked by a heartless boss into working in a coal mine for over a year. He didn't earn a penny and even owed the boss several thousand yuan for living expenses. Black Bear is usually a man of few words, the kind who is ruthless but doesn't talk much. In a fit of anger, one dark and stormy night, he slit the throats of the boss's entire family of three and raped the boss's wife. Then he escaped and mingled with beggars, hiding under a bridge. I happened to run into him once, and seeing that he was honest and simple, I took him in and put him in charge of guarding the safe house."

Shirley said, "Black Bear can be with you, but he can't stay by my side. Otherwise, he might not be able to resist attacking me one day. This kind of person is simple-minded, stubborn, and inflexible."

Yan Wenlong nodded and said, "Yes, so once such a person approves of you, they will follow you wholeheartedly."

"Oh no, we've been counter-tracked."

Suddenly, Mako Ishida, who had been operating the drone, changed her expression drastically and said in a somewhat panicked manner.

Sherry quickly asked, "What happened to Mako? How did she get counter-tracked?"

Mako Ishida, her eyes fixed on the drone's control screen, said, "When I was retrieving the drone, I suddenly detected an unidentified signal source tracking its signal."

"I don't know what happened either?"

Shirley and Yan Wenlong exchanged a glance.

Both of them sensed that something was wrong.

Shirley's eyes flickered a few times before she said, "Mako, don't recall the drone. Quickly fly it into the air. We might be being followed by that group from before. It should be the National Security Bureau. What a clever tactic! They actually used the drone's signal source to counter-track us. There are experts in the National Security Bureau."

Upon hearing this, Mako Ishida quickly raised the drone, which was slowly descending, and flew it to hover in the air outside the village.

Yan Wenlong said in a deep voice, "It seems the National Security Bureau has discovered this safe house. We need to evacuate immediately."

Shirley said, "The three of us can't leave together. One of us has to operate the drone to confuse the enemy and buy time for the others to evacuate."

"Otherwise, none of the three of us will be able to escape."

Yan Wenlong: "Ishida Mako, go to the village entrance and meet up with Black Bear. Then have Black Bear drive to another safe house. Before you leave, leave the drone suspended in the air. Don't take it with you, so that the National Security Bureau can track you down."

Mako Ishida replied, "I understand."

Then she grabbed the drone controller and ran out of the yard. She was really scared. She didn't expect the National Security officers to be so capable, using the drone's signal source to track them.

Mako Ishida didn't want to be caught by the National Security Bureau, because if she did, she would either die or spend the rest of her life in prison.

The reason she secretly returned was at Yan Wenlong's request to cooperate in stealing the "Fuxi" quantum communication chip technology.

Shirley's expression changed as she asked, "Are there any more cars?"

Yan Wenlong calmly said, "Don't be in a hurry, I'll take you through a safe, secret route."

Shirley asked in surprise, "You even have an emergency exit?"

Yan Wenlong said smugly, "Of course we have to. We can't just wait to die on one road. A cunning rabbit has three burrows, you know. I dug a tunnel in the bedroom that leads directly outside the village."

So Shirley followed Yan Wenlong into the bedroom...

Yan Wenlong first lifted the bed board, then pried up a floor tile under the bed, revealing a dark hole.

Yan Wenlong handed Shirley a powerful flashlight and said, "Go down first, then keep walking straight ahead. I'll put everything back in its original state and then come after you."

Sherry took the flashlight, jumped down into the hole, and walked forward...

Yan Wencheng stood in the hole, first crouching down to put the bed back in place, then squatting down in the hole and using his mouth to hold the flashlight to cover the floor tiles back in their original positions, before getting up to chase after Shirley...

at the same time,

Three SUVs silently drove into the village entrance, then split into three: one SUV stopped in a concealed spot at the village entrance, another SUV drove out of the village to track the drone, and the third SUV drove straight to the gate of a courtyard.

Holding the signal tracker, Xia Keke said to Zhang Guoqiang, "The location of the drone when it was connected to the ground control system was right here."

Zhang Guoqiang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Liu, take one person and sneak into the courtyard. Be careful, and if they resist, you can kill them."

Xiao Liu replied, "Understood."

"Snap, snap!"

Xiao Liu and another national security guard loaded their pistols and slipped into the courtyard. The two took turns providing cover as they entered the room. Soon, Xiao Liu reported, "There's no one in the room."

Xia Keke raised an eyebrow and said, "How come there's no one here?"

Suddenly, she realized something, picked up the walkie-talkie, and ordered, "Team Three, immediately locate a white van with license plate number 京XXXXX."

"All three sets received!"
