Lili Song was swept by the flashlight’s beam. Her eyes stung momentarily, but she quickly dashed in the direction opposite of the cave entrance!
"Freeze! I’ve seen you!"
The soldier’s flashlight beam followed her darting figure, growing impatient, "Stop running or I’ll shoot!"
Lili Song wasn’t foolish; the man’s words made it sound as if she stopped running, he wouldn’t shoot.
Movement was restricted, and constantly darting about wasn’t a solution. Eventually, she found cover behind a large rock to avoid being exposed to gunfire.
"Captain Liu, she’s behind that rock, a woman, quite difficult to catch."
Upon hearing this, Liu Fan approached, bumping into half of Lili Song’s head peeking out for a look.
Liu Fan recognized her at a glance. His lips curled slightly as if he was quite satisfied with this prey.
Without another word, he jumped down along the wall of the cave,
"Camel, come down. You take that way; I’ll go this way. Let’s surround her! Catching Tang Xiaohua will surely make Commander Lu’s face priceless."
The soldier known as Camel acknowledged and followed Liu Fan down,
"Captain... are you sure it’s Tang Xiaohua?"
"What a coincidence..."
The incident involving Tang Xiaohua "clashing" with Commander Lu and Commander Shen had spread throughout the military academy. It was only because of her that such a problematic selection process was taking place.
The nature of the relationship between Tang Xiaohua and Lu Ziqing had always been intriguing.
Regardless of the relationship, Lu Ziqing’s occasional extra concern for Tang Xiaohua was unmistaken. If he were to capture Tang Xiaohua, Lu Ziqing would surely be hopping mad, right?
Thinking about it gave Liu Fan a small thrill.
Camel knew all too well what kind of person Captain Liu was – a typical instigator thrilled by chaos, flat-out rejecting any dullness or mediocrity!
Yet, it was precisely because Liu Fan was so eager for battle and feared nothing that so many soldiers were willing to follow him.
Liu Fan went left, and Camel went right. After exchanging glances, they both moved and circled behind the rock, only to find no one there!
Camel was completely stunned while Liu Fan’s brow furrowed and a chill ran down his spine, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
His bad feeling was right...
The tough barrel of a gun pressed against the back of Liu Fan’s neck as Lili Song coldly warned.
At the same time, Qing Luo, who had been ambushing, pressed his gun against Camel and, without giving him a chance to speak, shoved a dirty cloth into Camel’s mouth!
Bian Yiyi acted just as swiftly, stuffing a cloth into Liu Fan’s mouth as well!
Then, they used ropes from their backpacks to tie up the two men and drag them into the cave.
Liu Fan and Camel struggled, but they hadn’t expected the two young students, Qing Luo and Bian Yiyi, to be so ruthless, striking their shoulders and backs with the butts of their guns.
Lili Song climbed out of the gully to take a quick look around and then returned to the cramped cave.
Liu Fan narrowed his eyes, taking a careful look at the woman in front of him while Qing Luo and Bian Yiyi were about to remove the cloth from Camel’s mouth when Lili Song quickly stopped them,
"Wait! Don’t remove the cloth!"
Bian Yiyi frowned, "If they can’t open their mouths, how will we get information?"
"If they talk, are you confident they’ll speak the truth?"
"When they attack us, it proves they are 100% the enemy. The least trustworthy thing is the enemy’s mouth."
