Chapter 57: Self-Destruct

Xiaonian pulled out a large notebook. It contained information he had gathered during a briefing with the guard team staff.

He stuffed the notebook into the lap of Tang Qinwei, the driver, and said, "They're targeting me. They don't know about your dinner invitation yet. You might be safe. Get out of here. Head straight to a shop in the town with a Huairen name. Give them this notebook, and they'll arrange your escape. They'll also reward you with a large sum of money."

Tang Qinwei asked, "What about you?"

Xiaonian replied, "Tell the boss to relay to Tokyo: I will be loyal to the Emperor!"

With that, Xiaonian forcefully pushed Tang Qinwei out.

Tang Qinwei flew out and landed on the grass by the roadside.

Xiaonian took control of the car, changed direction, and headed towards another direction in the town.

Zheng Dafu and his convoy roared past, chasing after the vegetable truck ahead.

Meanwhile, Tang Qinwei, lying on the roadside, breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for about fifteen seconds and confirming no more cars were coming, he got up and walked towards the town.

Xiaonian knew he was the target of the pursuit and couldn't escape. So, he wanted to give Tang Qinwei a chance to deliver the intelligence to the town.

Xiaonian guessed correctly.

The vegetable truck wasn't fast.

Soon, Zhou Lin caught up with Xiaonian and overtook his car.

With a sudden brake, Zhou Lin's car blocked the road.

Xiaonian's car couldn't brake in time and collided with Zhou Lin's car on the road.

Zhou Lin jumped out of the car. "Xiaonian, leaving without saying goodbye?"

Xiaonian asked, "Who are you?"

Zhou Lin replied, "Zhou Lin, special agent of the Chinese Military Statistics Bureau."

Xiaonian was surprised. "So, you're Zhou Lin. I've heard your name for a long time. Only now do I know. So, you came for me?"

Zhou Lin didn't answer. "Xiaonian, hand over the intelligence you got."

Xiaonian laughed, "Want the intelligence? Come and get it."

With that, Xiaonian moved his hand and pulled the fuse from his sleeve.

Zhou Lin saw the spark and shouted, "He's got explosives on him, retreat!"

Zhou Lin kept shouting but didn't retreat.

At that moment, Zheng Dafu rushed over and pushed Zhou Lin down. Then, the explosion occurred.

Due to Zheng Dafu being pressed against him and the shockwave being blocked by the car, Zhou Lin was unharmed.

Several soldiers rushed over. "Captain!"

Zhou Lin got up and saw Zheng Dafu's back covered in blood.

Zhou Lin ordered, "Five of you, take Captain Zheng to the town hospital. Order the doctor to save him. If the doctor disobeys, you can shoot."

Five people immediately came forward, lifted Zheng Dafu into the car, and then the car rushed away.

At this moment, Zhou Lin heard the voice of the system.

"You indirectly killed one Japanese special, here are the rewards."

"Swordsmanship: Beginner."

"Driving skills: Beginner."

"Tracking skills: Intermediate."

"Please choose one as your reward."

Zhou Lin chose tracking skills. Because Xiaonian's swordsmanship was only at the beginner level, and Zhou Lin was already advanced. He didn't need it. Also, in terms of driving skills, Zhou Lin was better than Xiaonian.

"The host has chosen tracking skills, which have been added to the host's skill list."

A piece of information entered Zhou Lin's brain. Immediately, Zhou Lin absorbed all of Xiaonian's tracking skills.

Thus, Zhou Lin mastered a large amount of tracking knowledge. For example:

Even in crowded places, one must not lose sight of the target. Therefore, it is necessary to memorize all the characteristics of the target.

Do not be timid because of fear of being discovered. Actions should be careful and bold.

If the target enters a building, immediately check for rear doors or secret passages.

If the target suddenly changes direction to confuse the tracker, the tracker must not be deceived.

When it is necessary to walk in front of the target, a small mirror can be used to monitor the target. If there are glasses with rearview mirror lenses, it is even more convenient.

When riding in a car or train, stand casually next to the door, so that no matter when the target gets off, the tracker won't miss it.

When tracking in front of or being tracked by the target, one must pay attention to all directions.

It is best to have paper and pen in your pocket for recording at any time.

Always have reliable disguise tools.

If the target suddenly escapes by car, quickly jot down the car's license plate number. Afterwards, ask the driver about the target's whereabouts.

Always carry enough cash for travel.

To avoid the embarrassment of hunger, carry some food in your pocket (such as biscuits, chocolates).

Use the restroom whenever there is time, to keep the body light and agile.

Make the best use of buildings, signs on the street, utility poles, and roadside trees to avoid the target's sight.

When the target is buying a ticket, boldly approach him to determine his destination.

Wear shoes that make no noise.

When tracking women, do not let rogues or perverts distract your attention.

If the target meets someone, immediately take a photo with a camera.

When following the target's car with your car, there should not be only one car. There should be at least two cars tracking.

...

This skill was too important for Zhou Lin. Xiaonian, thank you!

System: "Would the host like to initiate a time rewind?"

Zhou Lin got into another good car and said to the guard platoon leader, "Head to the town immediately."

After the car started moving, Zhou Lin said to the system, "Initiate a time rewind for Xiaonian."

Then, a scene appeared.

Two days ago, not visible.

Xiaonian entered the artillery division two days ago.

What was rewound were his activities in the artillery division.

They were all everyday matters that didn't interest Zhou Lin.

Suddenly, Zhou Lin saw a scene.

It was in Xiaonian's dormitory. It was where he had beaten the old soldiers.

In the dormitory, two old soldiers were hospitalized, and one old soldier was too scared to come back.

At this moment, Xiaonian took out a jade pendant from his pocket.

He muttered to himself, "The Colonel sent me to the artillery division, waiting for the summon from Mr. Goat. But who is Mr. Goat? If he doesn't show up to meet me, I can't leave the artillery division. Right, isn't there still Grass Dog? This time, I arranged two tasks. One is to wait for Mr. Goat's summon. The other is for me to summon Grass Dog. Let's not worry about Mr. Goat for now. If I can get intelligence through Grass Dog, I don't need to stay in the artillery division anymore."

Then came the scene of Xiaonian hiding outside the window.

He waited until everyone inside was drunk before jumping in. He used truth serum to extract intelligence.

After that, it was their escape process.

And when he made Tang, who was s

urnamed Tang, get off halfway and deliver a message to a local specialty shop in Huairen.

Until he self-destructed.

End of Chapter.
