1734: Midnight Shift

Midnight Shift

Xiao Gao nodded fervently. He wished he could show his sincerity. "Mrs. Lu, next time, don't go to the pond with Colonel Lu at night. There are so many mosquitoes there, so you can stay in the tent. Old Yang and I will take turns guarding it for you."1

"Don't tell anyone about your Colonel and me, okay?" Jiang Yao reminded them. She nodded at them when she saw Xiao Gao and Old Yang smiling mischievously. Then, she let them leave the tent.

Once they were out of the tent, Xiao Gao could no longer contain his excitement. He suddenly jumped like a rabbit.

"Old Yang! Old Yang! I'm so excited! I did not expect the truth to be like that!" Xiao Gao pulled Old Yang's arm and shook it vigorously. "I thought the Colonel was a scumbag. I did not expect the Colonel and—"

Xiao Gao covered his mouth and shook his head repeatedly. "I definitely won't spill the beans. I can't be so stupid!"

Then, he just ran away.

That night, Lu Xingzhi did not return to the command center. However, Old Yang left the command center at midnight with Jiang Yao, Liu Chao, and the others, leaving Xiao Gao and the others to continue staying there.

It was challenging to walk the mountain path in the middle of the night. It was even more exposed, and soon, Jiang Yao's hair was wet from the dew.

"Where are they taking us? They won't even let us sleep in the middle of the night. Is that on purpose?"

It was not easy to walk in the middle of the night. Even a man like Liu Chao felt angry. However, when he saw Jiang Yao was calm and did not complain in the slightest, Liu Chao thought that she was not an ordinary girl.

If it were Jing Mengjie and Li Hong, they would be so angry that they would cry and curse the entire way.

"I'm not too sure." Even though Jiang Yao was Lu Xingzhi's wife, she was a doctor for the Red Team. Therefore, Xiao Gao and Old Yang would not tell her why they were leaving the command center in the middle of the night.

They were on different sides. Even if she were Lu Xingzhi's wife, it would not do anything.

The group followed Old Yang all the way north. After walking for more than two hours, Old Yang finally allowed them to rest in a bamboo forest.

"Everyone, set up your tents here," Old Yang called out to the people behind him. After everyone made their move, Old Yang looked at Jiang Yao and asked kindly, "Are you tired, Miss Jiang? You must be exhausted, right? Once the tents are set up, you should go and rest for a while.

"Alright." Jiang Yao nodded when Old Yang turned around impatiently. However, he did not leave. He just stood there and looked at the crowd he had brought with him. Then, he called out to the two male soldiers.

Old Yang said, "You two, come over here. Go and scout the surroundings. However, the most important thing is to look for any fruit trees nearby. Get some fruits for Miss Jiang. As long as it's edible, it's fine. There should be wild pears and peaches in the mountains. It shouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, if you see anything edible, just pick it up."

The two soldiers were dumbfounded, and even Liu Chao and the others were stunned.

The two soldiers had no idea what was happening. However, out of their obedience, they turned around and left without asking anything.

"Perhaps their colonel could not get any information the hard way, so he's trying this now?" The two captives muttered in a low voice.

Old Yang did not even have time to say anything to Jiang Yao before sending the two soldiers away. She pretended not to know anything when everyone looked at her.
