The Team A leader didn't sit on Qiao Yue's order and completed the 2-hour journey in an hour and a half.
Qiao Yue was more certain about her guess as they got closer to the village. Even if the village was situated in a remote mountainous area, it was impossible that they didn't see another person or a car along the way. It's also suspicious that there were absolutely no lights in the dark of night. Moreover, she found traces of other vehicles when she got out of the car just now.
When they were still some distance away from the village, Qiao Yue asked for the car to be hidden away and that they go on foot.
Qiao Yue led Team A in the opposite direction of Chu Jia's team to prevent them from bumping into each other.
Qiao Yue and her team hid in the bushes and observed the village using binoculars. They could vaguely see light in the village. And because it was moving, Qiao Yue suspected those were headlights from Trand's car.
