Chapter 551: The Hunter's Patience Trick
The moonlight is like a silver ribbon, lightly falling on the banks of the Zai River, gently brushing across the water surface and stirring up ripples. A bright moon hangs high in the sky, quietly casting soft light, adding a bit of mystery to this quiet night. The outlet of the drainage pipe on the riverside is as deep as a black hole, and the black hole seems to lead to an unknown world.
On the riverbank outside the exit, dozens of soldiers stood silently, their figures stretched out in the moonlight. They were dressed in civilian clothes, but they were carrying heavy weapons, and the steel coldness of rifles and light machine guns formed a sharp contrast with the night.
These soldiers were the reception personnel arranged by Chang Tai. They had been deployed here several days in advance. Like guardian angels, they silently guarded this secret exit.
The leader was a short man, short but stocky, with a square face.
He held a cigarette in his hand, the red cigarette butt flickered in the night, as if the anxiety and expectation in his heart were flickering. He took a deep breath of the cigarette and exhaled slowly, the smoke dissipated in the night wind, with a faint smell of tobacco.
"Captain Hua, why haven't the two young masters come out yet? Could something have gone wrong? We have already sent out the signal that everything is safe." A soldier stepped forward and asked with a little concern.
When Captain Hua heard this, he frowned even more. He glared at the soldier and said, "The tunnel has been checked countless times. What could possibly be wrong? We have been guarding the exit for a few days and have not found anything unusual. Stop worrying about it." Although his voice was stern, there was a hint of tension in his words that was barely noticeable.
Captain Hua took another deep puff of his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, and crushed it with his foot.
He looked up at the bright moon, and a sense of inexplicable irritation surged in his heart. He knew that as the leader of the response team, he had to remain calm and not let his emotions affect others. However, facing the unknown wait and possible danger, he could not hide his anxiety.
Seeing this, the soldiers around did not dare to ask any more questions. They knew that the most important thing now was to remain alert and patient and wait for the two young masters to arrive. During this long wait, their hearts were filled with anticipation and worry.
In the grass on the riverbank not far away, two observers of the God's Punishment Special Forces and the organization's brain Black Fox were quietly lurking. They were wearing green camouflage cloth, almost blending into the grass at night, as if they had become a part of nature. In the grass, mosquitoes were buzzing, landing on them from time to time to bite them, but the three of them were as motionless as stone sculptures, maintaining a high degree of vigilance and concentration.
The binoculars in their hands, like their eyes, were fixed on the situation outside the tunnel exit. The faint moonlight shone through the clouds and sprinkled on the ground, adding a hazy light to this dark world. In this weak light, they could vaguely see the shadows of people swaying at the exit in the distance.
After a while, five or six figures emerged from the tunnel. They walked in a hurry, as if they were eager to escape from this secret passage. In the faint moonlight, their outlines and clothes could be vaguely seen. One of them was wearing a woman's robe, which was particularly eye-catching in the night.
"Boss, the target has appeared. That woman should be Huang Guangtai's wife, Madam Nan Guo Song Yuanqing." Walan, who was beside Black Fox, spoke in a low voice. Although his voice was low, it was full of tension and expectation.
However, Black Fox did not respond immediately. He frowned and stared at the figure in the distance with a sharp gaze. He was making quick judgments and thinking in his heart.
"Without close observation, we can't easily draw a conclusion based on clothing alone." Black Fox finally spoke, his voice was unusually steady, as if carrying an unquestionable authority. He knew very well that in this mission, any negligence could lead to irreversible consequences.
"Wait a little longer!" Black Fox added. He knew that now was not the time to act. They needed more information and observation to ensure that the action was foolproof.
So the three of them continued to lurk in the bushes, quietly waiting for the opportunity to come. Their heartbeats seemed to merge with the night wind, performing this silent contest together.
Outside the tunnel exit, Captain Hua Qiang kept a vigilant posture, staring at the exit. When he saw several figures coming out of the tunnel, he couldn't help but feel excited, thinking that he had finally waited for the two young men and ladies he had been waiting for. However, when he got closer, he found that the people who came were not what he imagined.
In the crowd, the thin and short man in a women's robe stood out.
He walked up to Captain Hua, gave him a subtle look, and lowered his voice and said, "The eldest and second young masters asked us to disguise ourselves and come out to see. If someone is waiting here in advance, we will lure them out. Captain Hua, please cooperate with us and treat us as the two young masters and their wives."
Huaqiang immediately understood what was going on. He knew that this was a way for the two gentlemen to act cautiously. Although he felt a little disdainful and thought that such suspicious behavior was unnecessary, as a loyal subordinate, he quickly adjusted his attitude.
He said loudly: "Madam, gentlemen, I have been waiting here for a long time. The car to leave here has been prepared for you, please follow me." As he spoke, he bent down slightly and made an extremely humble gesture, as if he was welcoming a real lady and gentlemen.
However, under this submissive appearance, Huaqiang's heart was full of disdain. He thought the two gentlemen were too cautious. They had already set up strict control near the exit, so how could there be any accidents? But even so, he still chose to cooperate with their performance. After all, this was his duty.
So, under the cover of night, a group of people pretended to be two young men and a lady, and surrounded by a large number of soldiers, they followed Huaqiang to the vehicle that had been prepared long ago.
Following Huaqiang's order, the soldiers moved quickly and led the several pathfinders to a military truck and two jeeps. The vehicles started one after another, and the roar of the engines resounded through the night sky, breaking the tranquility of the river beach.
In the bushes, two observers from the God's Punishment Special Forces witnessed this scene, and they immediately became anxious. They whispered to each other.
"Boss, it seems we have been fooled. The people who came out must be the Huang brothers and Song Yuanqing, otherwise Huaqiang would not take them so seriously." An observer said anxiously.
Another observer also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Huaqiang is a capable general under Chang Tai. If he was not an important person, how could he personally escort him away?"
However, Black Fox remained calm and composed. He shook his head slightly and reassured the two people, "Don't worry, the one who came out is not the real boss. This is just a show that the other party deliberately staged to attract our attention."
"But, boss, we have been guarding here for so many days. Are we just going to watch them leave?" an observer asked unwillingly.
Black Fox glanced at him lightly and said, “Don’t forget what our mission is. Our goal is to ensure that the Huang brothers and Song Yuanqing can’t escape, and not be fooled by this little trick. Now, all we need to do is continue to observe and wait for the real target to appear.”
