Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Mysterious Blueprint_1
On the freeway, a black military jeep was swiftly cruising along.
In the car, Zhang Xian, Xiaolong, and Han Xiangyu were happily chatting, one after the other. On the other hand, Cao Jianxin spoke up only occasionally and kept generally quiet.
"Xiaolong, let’s exit the freeway at the next ramp!" Han Xiangyu said, "It’s already night, and don’t tell
we’re spending the night on the freeway, I want to go to a motel!"
Zhang Xian turned his head and said, "My dear, with your attitude, you want to go on a mission? I have a feeling that you’re just here for sightseeing."
Han Xiangyu pouted, responding, "What’s wrong? If there’s a motel, why would we sleep on the freeway?"
"Well..." Zhang Xian shook his head with a bitter smile and didn’t say anything further.
Xiaolong on the other hand, chuckled and said, "Anyway, we’re not in a rush. If you say so, we’ll exit the freeway soon, irrespective of our destination."
"Great!" Han Xiangyu slamd her verdict, completely ignoring Zhang Xian and Cao Jianxin.
Cao Jianxin remained silent, continuing to gaze out the window, his thoughts hidden.
Zhang Xian glanced at Han Xiangyu, his face full of bitter smiles. At this mont, he fully understood why Old Man Han didn’t want Han Xiangyu to participate in the mission. Her personality was far from suited to the task. As dangers were nearing, she made no preparations and was still preoccupied with amusent. How could she risk her life with this mindset?
Of course, being carefree was permissible when you were absolutely sure of yourself, like Zhang Xian. However, Han Xiangyu evidently lacked that level of confidence.
Soon, the jeep left the freeway and arrived in a small town nearby.
It was already night, and unlike bustling cities, the small town had little to offer in terms of nightlife. After dinner, residents would simply stroll down the streets or sit at the doorstep and chat.
They found a decent-looking motel, and led by Han Xiangyu, they plunged in.
"Staying for the night?" The hostess greeted them with a smile.
Han Xiangyu replied, "Of course, we’re staying for the night. We’d like four rooms, please."
"Right away!" The hostess answered with a smile.
Upon getting their rooms, Zhang Xian was about to lie down and rest when there was a knock on the door.
On opening the door, he saw Han Xiangyu standing outside and asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do this late? Don’t tell
you can’t sleep alone and want
to warm your bed! If you have such unreasonable demands, chaste as I am, there’s no way I’ll comply. You’d better give up!"
"Why don’t you just drop dead?" Han Xiangyu cursed.
Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and asked, "Alright, what do you want from ?"
"It’s only nine o’clock, what are you hiding in your room for?" Han Xiangyu said, "Co on, let’s go grab so late-night snacks, I’m a bit hungry."
Zhang Xian frowned and asked, "Why just the two of us? What about the others?"
"Those two fools didn’t want to co. They said sothing about conserving their energy to be in their best form for the approaching mission." Han Xiangyu pouted, sowhat displeased.
Zhang Xian chuckled and said, "They’re right, I also need to rest up and recuperate."
He was about to close the door as soon as he finished speaking.
"What are you doing?" Han Xiangyu kept the door open and said, "If they don’t want to co, that’s their choice, but you have to co. Don’t give
any reasons because I don’t care."
Zhang Xian complained, "Why? Are you discriminating against
because you think I’m easy to bully?"
"Exactly!" Han Xiangyu stood with her arms akimbo, looking defiant.
Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched involuntarily, and he burst out, "Leave
alone right now. If you refuse, I can’t accommodate you."
"I won’t..." Han Xiangyu rubbed her stomach and said, "I’m hungry, you have to accompany
for a late-night snack."
Zhang Xian tried to close the door on Han Xiangyu but she was persistent.
"You... don’t you dare close that door..." Han Xiangyu stepped in, grabbing Zhang Xian’s arm and said, "Zhang Xian, you’re the best, just co with ! I am really hungry."
Zhang Xian put on a cold face and said, "I need to rest, understand? My rest can’t be postponed."
"Co on Zhang Xian, how could you refuse a beautiful lady like ? And for such a tiny request, how can you bear to refuse?" Han Xiangyu pouted and acted cute.
Zhang Xian pushed Han Xiangyu away and said, "My dear, can you please be serious? It’s so late at night and you’re creating such a scene, what will people think?"
"So, are you coming or not?" Han Xiangyu fluttered her large, pitiful eyes at him.
Zhang Xian wanted to refuse. But seeing Han Xiangyu ready to pounce again, he quickly said, "Okay okay, I’ll accompany you, aren’t you satisfied now? Honestly, you’re such a handful. I really shouldn’t have agreed to help you persuade your grandfather at the beginning. With your attitude, you shouldn’t be participating in such dangerous activities. You’d be better off staying in the greenhouse."
"Who says so?" Han Xiangyu retorted angrily, "Isn’t it just a late-night snack? Are you really that reluctant?"
Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "Fine, let’s just pretend I was talking nonsense earlier. Let’s go and have that late night snack, and fill your little stomach first."
"Humph, that’s more like it." Han Xiangyu turned around.
Zhang Xian closed the door and followed Han Xiangyu. He was filled with worry, especially imagining what she would be like on the battlefield.
This was indeed a cause for concern!
Soon, the snack stall arrived, serving only barbecue. However, Han Xiangyu didn’t complain, instead ordering a large spread of dishes.
Zhang Xian watched from the side, a little puzzled. This young girl’s height was not tall, and she was not particularly corpulent, yet how could she eat so much? Was it because of her practice of martial arts? Generally speaking, those who practice martial arts have high energy levels and consu much more food than ordinary people. Han Xiangyu, with her fair and unblemished skin, did not look like soone who would put herself through such strenuous training.
"Let’s start with these!" Han Xiangyu said with a smile, making her way to a nearby table.
Soon, the food arrived.
Sniffing the aroma, Han Xiangyu chuckled and said, "Although the stall is small, the food seems to taste pretty good! The sll alone is mouthwatering."
"Hmm..." Zhang Xian gave a nod of agreent, picking up a squid the size of his palm and taking slow, leisurely bites.
Left hand holding a chicken leg, right hand holding a grilled wing, Han Xiangyu stuffed food into her mouth as she asked, "Zhang Xian, why do you eat like a woman? It’s so funny!"
"Huh..." Zhang Xian turned his gaze to Han Xiangyu and said, "Sweetheart, I don’t know if I’m feminine or not, but you look as if you were starved in your previous life."
Han Xiangyu responded, "Hehe, I’ve always been a big eater, didn’t you know?"
Zhang Xian let out a bitter laugh, about to respond.
Just at that ti, a black figure suddenly rushed out from an alley across the street, hurriedly heading in a particular direction that was in his line of sight.
"What’s wrong..." Han Xiangyu looked up when she noticed Zhang Xian had stopped speaking.
Seeing Zhang Xian looking in a certain direction, she beca curious and followed his gaze. Upon recognizing the flustered figure under the streetlight, she instantly stood up and said, "Zhang Xian, quickly go help him, he’s a mber of our Skynet. He’s severely injured. Hurry..."
"From Skynet?" Zhang Xian had no intention of ddling at first but hearing Han Xiangyu’s words, he quickly dropped his squid and sprinted towards the figure.
The figure was on the run. On seeing another person rushing towards him, he was taken aback and hurriedly turned to run in the opposite direction.
Zhang Xian caught a glimpse of the figure and didn’t pursue him instead, he blocked the entrance of the alley.
"Step aside..."
Three figures rushed at Zhang Xian who stood his ground. As they charged at him, he retaliated swiftly, delivering two swift kicks and sent the two in front flying away.
"You..." Another man paused in shock before angrily throwing a punch, "Young man, are you asking for trouble?"
Zhang Xian did not step back, instead, he retaliated with a punch that landed squarely on the man’s arm. Accompanied by the sound of a ’crack’ and an anguished scream, the man crumbled to the ground.
"Huh?" The figure in the alley halted when he realized the chaos behind him, seeming no longer in a rush to escape.
After dealing with the three n, Zhang Xian grabbed them and tossed them together to one side, then turned to the figure and asked, "Are you from Skynet?"
"You..." The man asked in surprise, "How do you know I’m from Skynet?"
Zhang Xian replied, "I’m also from Skynet, but I just joined recently, I haven’t t you before. That girl over there, she said you are from Skynet, so I ca over."
The man asked, "Who?"
Zhang Xian replied, "Han Xiangyu, you should know her."
"Xiangyu? How did she get here?" The man was again surprised.
Isn’t that girl the leader’s darling, usually staying in Yanjing? How did she get to this small place today, and with other Skynet mbers?
"She’s just over there." Zhang Xian looked at the man and asked, "What about you? Why are you being pursued? Are you on a mission?"
The man replied, "No, I was just about to head back to the headquarters after completing my mission when I inadvertently ca across so information regarding God’s Spokesman. I also got a strange map which I couldn’t understand. However, they discovered
when I tried to escape, and that’s why they’ve been chasing after . If you hadn’t shown up, I don’t think I would’ve been able to escape."
"You found out about God’s Spokesman’s information?" Zhang Xian asked interestedly, "Can you tell
about it? Old Man Han is currently asking
to investigate."
The man shook his head, "I only know that they belong to God’s Spokesman and I managed to steal a map. As for other things, I didn’t manage to find out anything, and they didn’t give anything away."
"What do you plan to do with these three guys?" Asked Zhang Xian.
The man replied, "Call the local precinct, let them send soone over, and have these three guys transferred to Yanjing."
"As you wish!" Zhang Xian didn’t oppose.
The man took out his phone, dialed a number, and then spoke, "Brother, since you’re from Skynet, I’ll hand this strange map I have over to you. Could you please take it back to the leader for ?"
Zhang Xian asked, "I’m currently on a mission, and it hasn’t even started yet, why don’t you bring it back yourself?"
The man took out the map, and said, "I’ve already been targeted, and I also need to look for a place to heal. It wouldn’t be safe to keep the map with ."
Zhang Xian took the map and, smiling, asked, "Aren’t you afraid that I might take the credit? If this map is useful, the credit would be substantial."
The man laughed out loud, "We’re all serving our country, why talk about taking credit? It’s the sa whether you take it back or I do. The important thing is to eliminate God’s Spokesman as soon as possible."
"Okay! For that, I will take the map back for you." Zhang Xian said, as he put away the map.
The man nodded and said, "I should leave. You should greet Xiangyu for . Otherwise, she’ll complain about
again."
