Why did you provoke me?

Captain Tian, ​​who was lying on the roof, saw two plumes of smoke that suddenly appeared in the sky.

He leaned against the chimney and saw five men in black robes emerge from his guild hall. He then looked at the plume of smoke in the distance and estimated the distance to be about a kilometer.

What kind of operation is going on? Teacher Yu is really biased; he's never involved in any of the operations. How will he cover his expenses? Should we follow him and see?

While he was thinking, he heard a commotion in the backyard. Without further hesitation, he jumped off the roof and ran straight to the backyard.

Seeing the group of people leaving through the side door, he followed them without thinking.

Unfortunately, they were discovered before they even left the alley.

Niannian recognized Captain Tian, ​​of course. After looking at his clothes, she shook her head. "It's not that I don't want to take you, it's just that your clothes are too conspicuous. Change your clothes and go to the smoke pillar area. We'll see what happens."

Captain Tian squinted at Niannian, "You're not trying to get rid of me."

Niannian glared at him. "Fourth Sister said we should stand united against outsiders. One more person like you won't make a difference. Hurry up, or we'll be done before we even get there."

Although he didn't know what it was about, since he was already involved, Captain Tian decided to get involved. However, there was still some risk involved on his own; perhaps he should find someone else?

Following the trail left by Jingyi, Yu Er and the others quickly caught up with them not far behind.

Yang Gou Dan led five people, jogging quickly. Jing San's deep voice came over, "You guys are showing too little sincerity. Now you don't even have a car?"

"We're almost there. There are cars, but it's not convenient," Yang Gou Dan said breathlessly.

There was a large grove of trees ahead, and a beam of light flashed by in the distance. "Get down!" Jing Er suddenly shouted.

Without hesitation, the five men covered their heads and rolled into the roadside ditch.

Before Yang Gou Dan could react, several dull thuds exploded in his ears. He swayed and fell to the ground. He tried to look up at the distance in disbelief, but to no avail.

Jing San and Jing Er huddled together. "What do we do? They have guns?"

"Who is this force, and why are they targeting us?"

"Their target is clear; they're coming for us. Who did they offend?"

"It's no use talking about this now," Jing Er interrupted him.

"The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, what should we do?"

The sound of gunfire in the distance made Niannian stop in her tracks.

Yu Er didn't stop. "Split into two groups and encircle them. Niannian, go back and ask for reinforcements."

Clever Yu Er gave Nian Nian a very good reason.

Niannian turned and left; there was no point in her staying.

But it still stirred up some people's feelings.

Niannian returned quickly, even wrapping Little Grey around her feet. On the way, she encountered Captain Tian and Old Chen. "Go back and prepare your weapons; they have guns," she said, then darted away like a gust of wind.

Niannian burst into Secretary Wu's office. "Uncle, this is a big deal. The other side has a gun."

"Don't rush, let me think. There seems to be a disguised vehicle in the warehouse over there. The defenses are decent. I'll find someone to drive it."

Although Niannian was in a hurry, she did not disturb Secretary Wu.

"Go find Hua Shulang and have him drive."

Niannian looked at Secretary Wu strangely, "He's not one of our people."

"He is my mother-in-law's adopted son, someone Teacher Qing watched grow up. I'm just giving him a chance to show his abilities so he can join us in the future."

"Uncle, you're abusing your public office for personal gain."

"Sigh, just go ahead. Without Teacher Yu's tacit approval, would you really save him?"

"Hmph!" Niannian turned and left. She couldn't dawdle; she didn't know how the people over there were doing.

After hearing Niannian's words, Hua Shulang grabbed a bag and left, shouting, "Where's the car? Hurry up!"

"Warehouse No. 3".

Hua Shulang turned a corner, braced himself against the wall, and jumped over. "This is the shortest way."

"Ah," Niannian was a little confused, but she didn't hesitate. Climbing trees and scaling walls was no problem for her at all.

Hua Shulang glanced at Niannian's movements and a thought struck him: this little girl is quite skilled.

The car drove off quickly. Secretary Wu looked at Niannian and said, "You shouldn't go this time. It's a real fight, a matter of life and death."

"That won't do. I came back for help, how can I fall behind?"

Secretary Wu reached out to grab her anxiously, "Come back here right now, this isn't child's play."

Niannian was very agile, dodging Secretary Wu's hand, turning around and opening the car door. "Open it quickly!"

He waved his hand behind him, "You should go back now! I'm all ready."

Secretary Wu watched the car drive away and sent a message to Jing San, "How are you guys doing? Niannian is over now. You absolutely can't let anything happen to her, understand?"

In the car, Hua Shulang looked at Niannian and asked, "Can you shoot?"

"Who do you think you are?" Niannian tossed her hair. "What can we do going like this? Just run right into them?"

Hua Shulang's hand trembled slightly. "Hit it? Will we be alright? Forget about the car."

"Then how do we do it?" Niannian took out her little crossbow.

Hua Shulang's expression changed. "Our vehicle is just a regular truck; we can drive it normally."

"Oh, I see, we'll cut off their retreat, right?"

"You know?"

"That's how it's written in sketchbooks." Niannian's eyes were fixed on the side. Suddenly, she patted Hua Shulang on the shoulder. "Captain Tian and that Old Chen are over there. Should we pick them up?"

"Continue!" Hua Shulang slowed down and honked the horn a few times. He was worried that he was dealing with a complete novice, and this kind of coordination would be difficult.

Upon hearing the horn, Captain Tian paused for a moment, then called to Old Chen, and together they jogged up to the back of the truck.

Then Nian Nian heard a strange knocking sound.

"He asked us where we were going?" Hua Shulang explained as he drove.

"How should we answer?" Niannian asked, intrigued.

"Didn't you say we should take a backup plan?"

"Really? How do I knock?" Niannian raised her hand and placed it behind the driver's seat, ready to knock. But she turned her face to look at Hua Shulang.

Looking at her expression, Hua Shulang suddenly wondered if she was overthinking things, and perhaps the sisters didn't even mean it that way.

Hua Shulang spoke slowly, tapping rhythmically with her index finger as she spoke.

"Attention, there are two cars stopped at the intersection ahead. I'll make our car break down there and notify Captain Tian to be prepared," Hua Shulang instructed.

Niannian did as instructed without hesitation. In areas she was unfamiliar with, she strictly followed Yu Meng's guidance, keeping quiet, listening, and learning silently.

Hua Shulang would be lying if he said he wasn't surprised. Niannian's flamboyant behavior at the club was no secret. During this time, he tried to stay indoors as much as possible to avoid running into her, for fear of a conflict.

He never expected that this collaboration would completely change his perspective. She's a smart girl.

At this time, Captain Tian and Lao Chen did not know that the person they were in contact with was Niannian.

The car crashed into a parked car at an unbelievable angle. Nian Nian's crossbow bolt struck the man in the driver's seat with lightning speed and precision.

Even Hua Shulang was surprised. He didn't expect Nian Nian's combat awareness to be so strong that he didn't need to tell her what to do.

"Leave one alive," Hua Shulang hurriedly shouted.

"He's not dead. He's just some little gadgets I made. He's just unconscious."

Captain Tian quickly pulled the person down and forcefully threw them into the back of the vehicle. Niannian's mouth gaped open; for the first time, she realized that these people on the alien battlefield were not to be underestimated.

Hua Shulang observed her expression. "Are you frightened?"

"That was too rough. It was like throwing things. If that person died, it must have been from the fall."

Hua Shulang remained silent; he admired how well the person had shifted the blame.
