When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 148

Ahead, Xu Can and his two companions were chatting and laughing as they picked out lamb legs and meat skewers, while Xu Ge glanced to the side without making a sound.

A little girl, about four or five years old, was leading a man towards the shop entrance. The man had long hair tied in a small braid and looked to be in his early thirties. His deep-set eyes made his fierce gaze even more prominent, and his whole demeanor gave off a feeling that strangers should not approach him.

"Daddy, I want orange juice!" the little girl said again.

A forced smile appeared on the man's stiff face, but the wrinkles around his eyes deepened, making him look even uglier.

"Sure, if Niu Niu wants some, Daddy will buy it for you!"

The man's voice sounded extremely stiff as he allowed the little girl to lead him to the table.

Xu Ge couldn't help but frown slightly; the smell was actually coming from the little girl!
A little girl named Niu Niu walked to the table, stood on tiptoe, pointed at a glass of red watermelon juice, and said in her childish voice, "Uncle boss, I want a glass of orange juice."

Upon hearing the little girl's nickname, the shop owner, who was explaining the prices to Li Dongshui, immediately smiled and walked to the table, picked up a glass of yellow orange juice, and handed it to her: "Here you go, little girl, you're so well-behaved!"

The little girl stared wide-eyed at me, puzzled, and asked, "Why did you give me this cup? Aren't they all the same?"

"Niu Niu, that cup is watermelon juice," the man said, patting the little girl's head.

The shop owner didn't take it seriously and explained with a smile, "They're different, kid. That one is watermelon juice, and this one is orange juice. They taste different! Which one would you like?"

"I want orange juice."

The little girl took the orange juice, looked up at the man with the braid, and said, "Daddy, hurry up and give me the money!"

The man looked at the shop owner and asked, "How much?"

Shopkeeper: "Orange juice is 10 yuan."

The man took out a hundred and handed it over.

The shop owner looked a bit embarrassed: "Do you accept mobile payments? I don't have enough change."

The man shook his head: "I didn't bring my phone. How much change do you have?"

"Only seventy."

"Give me."

The man took the change the shopkeeper handed him, turned around, and left with the little girl in his hand.

The shopkeeper quickly called out, "Hey, don't go! I haven't given you enough change..."

"No more."

"Why don't you get two more glasses of juice?"

The man looked down and asked the little girl, "Niu Niu, would you like something else to drink?"

"I don't want to drink anymore!" The little girl shook her head, her mouth full of straw.

"no need."

The man then led the little girl away. Before leaving, Xu Ge felt that the man seemed to glance at the arm patch on his military uniform.

Xu Ge kept watching the man until they reached the roadside. Then, the man picked up the little girl, quickened his pace, crossed the road, and soon entered a small alley on the other side.

Xu Ge's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly followed.

He wanted to note down the other person's location so he could report it to the border station later.

But by the time he reached the alley entrance, the man and the little girl had already vanished.

Xu Ge was somewhat unwilling. He sniffed and followed the smell into the alleyway, looking around as he went.

He was confident that he knew some foreign languages ​​and wanted to strike up a conversation with the woman before asking where the father and daughter lived.

The woman seemed momentarily bewildered by Xu Ge's actions, but didn't seem to mind. She reached out and pulled Xu Ge into the alley, saying with a smile:

"You've got some nerve, kid soldier! You dare to come out and have fun while wearing your uniform!"

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"Big sister, you can speak Chinese?" Xu Ge asked in surprise as he broke free from the other person.

"Nonsense, why do you think I'm a foreigner?" The woman reached out and pulled Xu Ge again. "I know you're brave, but let's go inside first!"

Xu Ge gradually realized something was wrong and quickly tried to avoid the situation, saying, "No, no, no, big sister, where are you taking me?"

"You little rascal, what are you pretending for with your older sister for!" The woman gave Xu Ge a flirtatious wink. "Of course, we're going to have some fun!"

Xu Ge's eyes widened, and he quickly turned around: "Big sister, there must be some misunderstanding between us!"

"Oh dear, are you saying your older sister is too old?"

The woman stepped forward and suddenly grabbed Xu Ge's clothes. "Have you ever heard the saying? Skills are the accumulation of time!"

"Sister, your skills are amazing! Two hundred yuan, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Xu Ge remained silent with a dark expression; all he wanted now was to leave as soon as possible.

"Hey, don't go!"

"That son of a bitch is really strong in the army!"

"Don't you dare leave! If you leave again, I'm going to scream!"

Xu Ge ignored her and quickly retreated from the alley. Unexpectedly, the woman grabbed his clothes tightly while shouting, "Hey, come quick! There's a soldier here who's trying to seduce me without paying!"

Xu Ge's expression changed drastically: Holy crap?!

"Shut up, what are you yelling about?"

"Help! Don't let this heartless bastard get away!" The woman sat down on the ground.

Hurala!
A crowd quickly gathered around, and some tourists even took out their phones.

Across the street, Xu Can and his two companions heard the commotion and quickly ran over.

"Let's see who dares to take photos or videos? Do they all want to be arrested and court-martialed?" Zhang Qian's voice boomed into the ears of the onlookers even before she arrived. Several tourists who had just taken out their phones silently put them back down.

"Get out of the way!"

Zhang Qian pushed through the crowd, looking at Xu Ge, whose face was extremely pale, and the woman sitting on the ground, "What's going on here?"

Xu Ge took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger: "How would I know? I was just passing by, I didn't do anything, and this woman grabbed me and said I was taking advantage of her! She's completely insane!"

"You're the one who's crazy! You promised to have sex with me and then went back on your word. What is this if not freeloading?" the woman shouted back.

Xu Can and Li Dongshui stared at Xu Ge in shock: "Is what she said true?"

"of course not!"

"So what did you say to her?"

"I was passing by, I said yes, and then she pulled me into the alley..."

"Hey hey hey! You all heard that!"

Upon hearing Xu Ge confess, the woman immediately perked up, scrambled to her feet, put her hands on her hips, and shouted.
"Does his 'yes' mean he agrees? Does he think I don't understand English?"

Xu Ge was shocked: "What did you just say?"

Some of the onlookers who understood the dialect started laughing.

Xu Can and Zhang Qian both had complicated expressions. Li Dongshui looked at Xu Ge and asked, "Can't you understand our local dialect?"

Xu Ge felt like he knew where the problem lay.

Zhang Qian stepped forward and threatened the woman, saying, "Let me tell you, we're out on official business. If you keep making trouble like this, believe me, I'll arrest you!"

"Get away quickly!"

. . .

. . .

After the woman's interruption, Xu Ge had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​searching for the father and daughter.

The surrounding crowd kept pointing and whispering at Xu Ge, and the four of them didn't dare to eat at the barbecue restaurant. After packing up their food, they left in a hurry.

Upon arriving at the border station, Xu Ge immediately explained the situation to the officer on duty. The officer took it very seriously and even noted down Xu Ge's name.

Xu Ge then started the car and immediately drove onto the national highway to head back.

At first, the carriage was quiet, and everyone had a straight face. After a while, Xu Can couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

The atmosphere inside the car was instantly ignited, and the three people except Xu Ge burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"Ahahahaha!"

"I'm dying of laughter! Ouch, my stomach hurts so much!" Xu Can clutched his stomach and convulsed.

Zhang Qian laughed until tears streamed down her face, wiping them away with tissues as she doubled over with laughter: "Hahaha... Hahaha!"

"How could you misunderstand like that?! Hahaha! You're killing me with laughter!"

Li Dongshui, in the passenger seat, turned her head to look out the window, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably. Her suppressed laughter was a mixture of sobs and groans, making Xu Ge want to let go of the steering wheel and take all three of them down with her.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Xu Ge was furious. "Only the four people in this car know about this. If anyone spreads this around, don't blame me for silencing them!"

Two hours later, an SUV arrived in Shiquanhe and parked directly in front of the barbecue restaurant.

A young man wearing sunglasses got out of the car, looked around, pointed to the security camera on the wall, and asked the owner, "Adasi, is this security camera in your shop?"

"Really?" the boss asked, looking at the other person. "Where are you from?"

The man in sunglasses took out an ID card and waved it in front of the shopkeeper, then put it back in his pocket and said in a low voice, "Boss, I'm here to catch bad guys. Can you check the video footage?"

The boss looked at him suspiciously: "Let me see that ID again?"

The man in sunglasses said sternly, "Give me a lamb chop!"

"Okay, then you can sit inside and wait. I'll get the video recording for you!"

Ten minutes later, the man in sunglasses returned to the car, taking big bites of lamb chop while operating something on a military-grade tablet.

Buzz!
"Hello!" The man in sunglasses answered the phone.

"619, why is this video so blurry?" Thor's voice came from the other end of the phone.

619 swallowed the lamb chop in his mouth with difficulty and said, "I looked around, and this is the only camera that still works."

Thor seemed to be reviewing videos, and after a while asked, "What's the deal with those four soldiers who appeared in front of the barbecue restaurant around 2 PM? How did they end up there with the target?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention, the intelligence was provided by one of the four recruits."

619 said, "They had already secretly investigated that alley before, and the target was probably someone who deliberately took a detour and didn't live there."

Thor's voice held a hint of curiosity: "You mean one of these four soldiers provided the intelligence? And specifically said that they discovered drug dealers?"

619: "Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing. I was just about to check on the intranet which unit that recruit named Xu Ge belongs to..."

"Wait a minute, who did you just say? Xu Ge?" Thor's voice rose an octave.

"Yeah, his name is Xu Ge... You know Thor?" 619 realized.

“Okay, come back and take the original video to the technical department to get it fixed,” Thor said. “I do know Xu Ge, I can just ask him later.”
