Chapter 35: Preparing to Ambush

Guo Jing, Zhang Chu'an, and Zhang Xiaofan all achieved better results than the High Squad under his command in this exercise, yet none of them possessed much actual combat experience.

Battalion Commander He Zhijun tapped his fingers on the table a few times and frowned, saying, "Although your strength is not bad, you lack combat experience; you will likely suffer losses if you face Scorpion."

"How about this? Let Gao Shu's Lone Wolf A go with you."

"Battalion Commander, the High Squad is recently responsible for training new recruits and should not be moved; moreover, he and Lone Wolf A have been famous for a long time, and moving them would likely tip off the snake."

Nie Huaishang declined tactfully; what kind of joke was this? With Gao Shu watching them, how could Zhang Chu'an use the Thunder Member to kill Scorpion?

To deal with Scorpion, Nie Huaishang still felt it was safest for Zhang Chu'an to use thunder arts.

Seeing that Nie Huaishang's tone was tactful but firm, He Zhijun could only agree:

"Fine, since you have already made the decision, I will choose to support you; after all, you young man have never disappointed anyone."

Hearing these words, Nie Huaishang immediately made a promise:

"Rest assured, Battalion Commander, I will not disappoint you this time either; however, Battalion Commander, the four of us need some time to move around in the city."

Hearing Nie Huaishang say this, He Zhijun understood and immediately granted the four men a two-month leave to facilitate their free movement.

After all, Scorpion's special forces and the organization behind them had repeatedly opposed them; eliminating Scorpion was imperative, and He Zhijun could clearly distinguish priorities.

Upon receiving He Zhijun's personnel transfer list, the leader of Lone Wolf A smiled lightly at Guo Jing and Zhang Chu'an, saying:

"It seems that young man Nie Huaishang is quite valued by the Battalion Commander, effortlessly transferring two of my top generals who I hadn't even warmed up yet."

When speaking these words, Gao Shu's tone was filled with envy toward Nie Huaishang.

Guo Jing quickly advised from the side:

"Gao Shu, since we are soldiers, we must be ready for combat at all times."

"Fine, the four of you are old acquaintances; acting together can also ensure the completion of the combat mission."

Gao Shu immediately agreed and then issued an order for them to leave.

Watching Guo Jing and Zhang Chu'an depart, Chen Pai, who was training, asked curiously, "I wonder what mission this young man has gone out on; it must be significant."

Chen Pai looked at Guo Jing and Zhang Chu'an, his eyes filled with indescribable envy; the three of them were platoon leaders of the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company.

He himself had to pass an assessment to enter, while Zhang Chu'an and Guo Jing directly became their instructors.

However, he also knew that Guo Jing and Zhang Chu'an's abilities far surpassed his, after all, both possessed the strength to defeat Gao Shu.

The two left the military camp and headed to the Red Blood Cell Squad's camp to rendezvous with Nie Huaishang and the others.

"Over here."

Seeing Guo Jing and Zhang Chu'an arrive, Nie Huaishang excitedly waved at the two.

"Since entering the military camp, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Guo Jing looked at Nie Huaishang and the others and couldn't help but sigh.

"This time, the four of us have two months to gather."

Nie Huaishang said happily.

While exchanging pleasantries, the four walked toward the train station; to avoid leaking secrets, they chose to discuss the plan in the chat group.

Guo Jing: "The first key to this operation is to find the escape route of Wang Yadong's shop."

Nie Huaishang: "According to the plot, the escape route is by the seaside; let's search by the seaside."

The four took a vehicle to the seaside near Wang Yadong's shop and began searching.

After searching by the seaside for half a day, they finally found the escape route from the plot.

Having searched for half a day, they sat on the ground without any dignity; Zhang Chu'an, panting, said:

"I'm exhausted; this young man Wang Yadong hid the exit quite secretly."

"Indeed, otherwise we wouldn't have had to search for so long."

Guo Jing nodded in agreement.

"However, since we found the secret passage, all this day's hard work was worth it; what should we do next?"

Zhang Xiaofan asked Nie Huaishang beside him.

Nie Huaishang pondered for a moment and said, "The Minister of the Ministry of Public Security, Wen, has been investigating Wang Yadong; once Scorpion enters the shop, they will surround him."

Hearing this, Zhang Chu'an quickly asked, "So for the next few days, we will just pretend to be tourists on vacation and stay at nearby homestays?"

Guo Jing: "Good idea, but we must send someone to observe near Wang Yadong's shop; once the special police surround Wang Yadong's shop, they should contact us."

Nie Huaishang immediately stated, "Leave this matter to me; after all, my counter-reconnaissance ability is very strong, and Wang Yadong won't see through me."

Regarding Nie Huaishang's disguise, they still trusted him very much; after all, this guy was born an actor.

Thus, Nie Huaishang went alone to stay at a hotel near Wang Yadong's shop.

During this time, Zhang Chu'an intensified his cultivation; after all, now his Thunder Member only lasted one minute, and the fact that he could activate it for five minutes during the Luo Tian Grand Tournament was due to his practice of the Old Farmer Art.

Here, to conceal his identity as a Strange Person, he hadn't cultivated much; even when he did, the efficiency was extremely low.

However, one minute was enough.

Nie Huaishang also arrived at Wang Yadong's shop, but he only took a glance from afar before renting a room at a nearby hotel for a month.

From time to time, he went to observe Wang Yadong's movements; in the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

On this day, Nie Huaishang was once again loitering near Wang Yadong's military goods store when suddenly a man wearing toad glasses brushed past him.

The man's bloody aura and agile gait led the perceptive Nie Huaishang to preliminarily judge that this man must have killed many people.

Nie Huaishang did not look at that man, fearing to attract his attention; after all, this was the city, and a fight would cause many casualties.

Although he did not look at the man, he had closed his eyes to sense the man's position; in his perception, the man had already walked slowly to the vicinity of Wang Yadong's military store.

Nie Huaishang thought inwardly, "This must be Scorpion Ruan Wenxiong."

Nie Huaishang did not leave; he stared fixedly at the military goods store in front of him; once Scorpion left through the main entrance, he would follow the police to deal with Scorpion.

Of course, he could not forget the most critical step: sending a message to Zhang Chu'an and the others in the group.

Nie Huaishang: "Brothers, hurry to that escape route to wait for Scorpion."

Zhang Chu'an: "Received."

Zhang Chu'an quickly got up, urged Guo Jing and the others to grab their gear, and wait at the escape route to ambush the scorpions.

Guo Jing and Zhang Xiaofan aimed their sniper rifles at the escape corridor, while Zhang Chu'an sat in meditation nearby, sensing the area.

At that moment, Wang Yadong arrived at his military supply store as usual. Before he could open the door, he found someone already waiting behind it.

Turning around, he saw the visitor shush him, signaling him to stay silent. Seeing the visitor, Wang Yadong was struck as if by lightning.

He truly never expected Scorpion Ruan Wenxiong to come here personally to find him.
