Gu Yuluo: "It’s not Moon, it’s Jiu."
Until now, Gu Yuluo still hadn’t figured out why Jiu had suddenly appeared, and even helped her seize control of the surveillance.
Accompanied by a piercing screech of tires against the pavement, the car came to a halt.
Fortuitously, Wei Jingyu’s driving skills were truly good, and his clever positioning prevented an accident.
Wei Jingyu’s eyes clung tightly to the steering wheel as he abruptly turned to look at Gu Yuluo and asked without any expression, "Really?"
A few seconds later, Wei Jingyu blandly uttered that word, then fell into a prolonged silence.
Seeing the car had stopped and Wei Jingyu showed no sign of driving again, Gu Zhiqi raised her eyes and said to Wei Jingyu, "Time is almost up."
Wei Jingyu snapped back to reality, started the car again, and while looking at Gu Zhiqi whose expression hadn’t changed, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sister, aren’t you surprised or curious?"
His emotions were akin to a roller coaster, rising and falling numerous times, yet this young girl’s expression remained unchanged.
Wei Jingyu did not think that Gu Zhiqi couldn’t have known about An and Jiu.
As Fall’s sister, she must have heard something about them.
But what he didn’t know was that Gu Zhiqi only knew about Jiu. As for An, she only knew them as the second-ranked hacker on the web, a character who didn’t appear in the story.
"Mhm, surprised and curious," Gu Zhiqi spoke indifferently and lazily.
You could be a little more perfunctory.
Fifteen minutes later, Wei Jingyu and his men regrouped, parking the vehicle on a road not far from Luya Base.
The three of them got out together.
Gu Yuluo, with a laptop tucked under her arm, took out a wristwatch from her pocket and handed it to Gu Zhiqi, while again stressing to her, "Don’t wander off later. Remember to stick close to me. If we get separated by accident, use this tracker wristwatch to find me."
"Okay." Gu Zhiqi nodded, accepting the wristwatch Gu Yuluo had given her and wore it unhurriedly.
It was almost two in the morning, ten minutes to go.
They had planned to arrive at the base at two o’clock and then commence their operation.
After Wei Jingyu finished giving instructions to his men, he and both Gu Yuluo and Gu Zhiqi advanced stealthily in the dark. Soon, they reached a minefield.
Wei Jingyu took out a small detector from his pocket, turned his head slightly, and said to Gu Zhiqi, "Little sister, remember to follow my steps, okay?"
Having said that, he took the lead in stepping out first.
Gu Zhiqi, watching the two prepare to navigate the minefield step by step, murmured quietly, "Walk across?"
Hearing Gu Zhiqi’s question, both Gu Yuluo and Wei Jingyu turned to glance at her in unison and said, "What else? Crawl over?"
At their words, Gu Zhiqi gave a light click of her tongue, stretched out an arm, and handed it to Gu Yuluo, "Hold on."
Not understanding what Gu Zhiqi was up to, Gu Yuluo instinctively thought the young girl was afraid of stepping on a mine and wanted her to hold hands.
With that thought, Gu Yuluo happily took hold of Gu Zhiqi’s arm.
"You take her arm," Gu Zhiqi glanced at Wei Jingyu and said lightly.
"It’s okay, I’m not scared, I can walk by myself." Clearly, Wei Jingyu thought the same as Gu Yuluo, assuming that Gu Zhiqi was scared to walk.
Gu Zhiqi heard this, fell silent for a moment, and then said after two seconds, "As you wish."
Gu Yuluo, listening to what Gu Zhiqi said to Wei Jingyu, felt that this matter was not simple and immediately stretched out a hand to grab Wei Jingyu’s arm.
No sooner had Gu Yuluo grabbed Wei Jingyu’s arm than she felt her whole body lift into the air.
By the time she realized what was happening, they had already flown over the minefield and were standing inside the base.
