110: Do not act rashly.
Xiao Niannian was already several hundred kilometers away from Guangzhou by now, and she did not know about Xiao Yueyue coming to find her.
Even if she knew, she wouldn't care.
Only Hu Ping and the others would believe the slanders Xiao Yueyue spread about her.
As for the people in the Reconnaissance Battalion, they had all come to the Military Unit to protect their home and country, not to gossip.
Might makes right; the vast majority of them would not listen to rumors, nor would they care about anyone's personal affairs, looking only at whether one's skills were strong or not.
It was already night, and they had arrived at another Guesthouse.
Xiao Niannian got out of the car and watched Lu Jing and the others busy themselves.
Her assigned task was to stand here and watch over the Expert comrade.
Xiao Niannian looked at Military Doctor Shen, who was sitting in the car cracking sunflower seeds.
This Expert comrade looked the part, but with these actions, who could believe it?
Military Doctor Shen saw Xiao Niannian looking at him and held out some seeds.
"Comrade Xiao, would you like some?"
"No, thank you."
Military Doctor Shen handed them toward her again.
"Eat some. It will be a while before they finish."
Xiao Niannian did not refuse again and took the seeds.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Xiao Niannian also ate the seeds.
Although she was eating, her ears were listening to the people around her.
The place where they parked was the Guesthouse parking lot.
Currently, the parking lot only had their vehicles, plus a dozen bicycles and one tractor.
There were two lights in the parking lot, and the moonlight provided some illumination.
Xiao Niannian discovered that her eyesight had improved again compared to before.
Even though it was night, she could see these things as if it were daytime.
"Comrade Xiao, have you seen any suspicious people outside?"
Hearing Military Doctor Shen's words, Xiao Niannian replied, "I haven't discovered any suspicious people so far."
"Then keep eating the seeds. I had someone buy these; not only do they taste good, but the kernels are large and delicious."
Military Doctor Shen cracked them with a click-clack sound, a smile on his face.
Although there was danger in traveling disguised as an Expert, he had lost count of how many such dangerous missions he had been on.
Seeing Xiao Niannian's vigilant and guarded appearance now, he was reminded of when they first started going on missions.
"Comrade Xiao, what do you think of Lu Jing?"
Xiao Niannian's gaze scanned the surroundings, and she was also listening to the sounds around them, not taking Military Doctor Shen's words to heart.
"He's quite good." She answered casually.
Hearing this, Military Doctor Shen was overjoyed.
If Comrade Xiao praised Lu Jing as being quite good, did that mean there was some interest?
However, he didn't dare ask more, fearing that he might extinguish the spark just as it ignited, and then he would be ruining his brother's life.
"Comrade Xiao, what are your hobbies?"
"Reading and training."
Reading and training?
Military Doctor Shen saw Xiao Niannian look up to check the time and noticed the watch on her wrist, reminding him of what happened before.
Hehehe.
Xiao Niannian heard Military Doctor Shen's hehehe laughter, snapped back to reality, and looked at Military Doctor Shen.
Military Doctor Shen immediately wiped the smile off his face.
Why is this Military Doctor Shen so strange?
"Comrade Xiao, Squad Leader Li, we can escort the Expert comrade back to his room to rest."
Hearing this, Xiao Niannian immediately opened the car door.
Military Doctor Shen put on his hat and stepped out, carrying his briefcase.
Xiao Niannian, Squad Leader Li, and the others surrounded Military Doctor Shen, their eyes scanning the surroundings.
After escorting Military Doctor Shen into the room, Xiao Niannian looked at the few comrades-in-arms in the room, then looked inside the room itself.
The room was a suite with a separate bathroom where one could take a shower, and a living room with a few books placed on it.
"The room has been checked, and there are no issues..." a Comrade-in-arms reported the situation.
"The other three Experts are already resting in their rooms.
You should rest early as well; we will guard the door to protect your safety..."
After hearing his words, Military Doctor Shen's voice turned aged.
"Good, good, good.
Thank you, young man.
You've worked hard."
Listening to Military Doctor Shen speak in an aged voice, Xiao Niannian couldn't help but nod.
Sure enough, Military Doctor Shen might look unreliable at times, but his abilities were truly good.
Not only was his disguise good, but he could also mimic voices well.
Xiao Niannian walked out of the room, and Squad Leader Li looked at her and said, "Comrade Xiao, your room is right next to the Expert's room."
Hearing Squad Leader Li's words, Xiao Niannian was momentarily stunned.
She was staying next to the Expert's room?
"Okay."
Xiao Niannian took the key and opened the room, seeing that it was tidied up very neatly.
These rooms must be for leaders to stay in; they were much larger than regular Guesthouse rooms, and the items inside were different from the Guesthouse rooms she had stayed in before.
Xiao Niannian carefully inspected every part of the room and saw that there was also a small bathroom in her room where she could take a shower.
That was great.
She had been busy all day, so Xiao Niannian closed the door, quickly took out her clothes, and washed up.
Ten minutes later, she had finished showering.
While she was showering just now, she heard Lu Jing and Military Doctor Shen talking.
With Lu Jing there, she naturally felt more at ease.
Otherwise, she definitely would have only spent five minutes on this shower.
Xiao Niannian quickly washed her clothes, hung them up to dry in the room, and then walked out.
Two Soldiers were guarding Military Doctor Shen's door, and Xiao Cui was also standing there.
Seeing Xiao Niannian, Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao, it's still a while before dinner.
You can walk around the Guesthouse, but you cannot leave the Guesthouse."
"Okay."
Hearing this, Xiao Niannian turned and walked to the side.
This three-story Guesthouse accommodated regular guests on the first and second floors.
They were staying on the third floor.
There were also their people guarding the stairwell on this side.
Opposite, she saw people in military uniforms coming and going.
They were likely other Soldiers on business trips.
Xiao Niannian went downstairs.
When she reached the second floor, she looked left and right, and after a while, she went down to the first floor.
In front of the Guesthouse were the military vehicles they had parked.
"No, someone will hear us later."
"No one will come to check the rooms."
"Oh my."
Immediately, the sound of kissing rang out.
Xiao Niannian frowned.
Were these two having an affair?
Having such good hearing wasn't always a good thing.
Sometimes it could dirty one's ears.
"Those Soldiers have already escorted the four Experts in.
What should we do now?"
"We only need to transmit the intelligence back; do not act rashly..."
Xiao Niannian heard two men speaking again.
Soldiers escorted four Experts in?
Transmit the intelligence back?
Are these the people behind the scenes?
Did they send people to wait in the Guesthouse beforehand?
Xiao Niannian immediately raised her head and looked at these room doors.
After a while, she saw someone walk out of a room on the first floor.
She immediately memorized which room it was.
Xiao Niannian saw that person walk out.
