862: The Power of an Intelligent Mind

The Power of an Intelligent Mind

Thanks to the driver's excellent skills, they dodged most of the bullets and kept the car moving.0

Even then, the situation was not in their favour.

Gu Jinzhi pulled out a walkie-talkie and said, "Now!"

Suddenly, a few modified military vehicles came speeding from behind them.

The machine guns fitted on the hood fired in quick succession, mowing the enemies down.

"Go faster."

Gu Jinzhi ordered the driver, who obliged and soon left the enemy troop far behind them.

Wen He could still hear gunshots from the ambush site. She exclaimed in awe and amazement, "General, you sure got us covered."

She had no idea that Gu Jinzhi had hired so many bodyguards.

The man in question looked at her and smiled haughtily. "This is the power of an intelligent mind."

"..."

Alright.

So he might just be a little smarter than her.

As they continued their way through the front line, Wen He and Gu Jinzhi encountered a few more attacks from the enemy.

Gu Jinzhi's hired muscles were the only reason they managed to reach the first lookout post safely.

He noticed that Wen He was troubled by how pervasive the enemy forces were within their country and gladly explained to her, albeit with a touch of bleakness.

"The border has always been chaotic and the front line stretches for thousands of kilometers. Even if we set up a barbed fence perimeter all the way and have soldiers patrol the border every single day, it is still possible for the enemies to find their way in. Besides, who is to say that the enemy forces did not send their spies into our country back when there was peace between us?"

Wen He nodded in realization.

"I see."

"You don't have to be too concerned about it," Gu Jinzhi said encouragingly. "We are now very close to the military encampment. Those gangsters won't risk attacking around here."

He looked into the distance and pointed at a tiny black dot. "That's the army base."

Wen He followed his finger and saw it too. "We're finally here."

"My men cannot follow us there. I will have them wait for us in South City as backup."

Gu Jinzhi took out his walkie-talkie and asked his men to retreat.

Once that was done, Wen He repeated her earlier sentiment, "You should go with them."

Gu Jinzhi patted her on the shoulder and did not reply directly to her suggestion. Instead, he said mildly, "Don't worry, smart people are usually the ones who survive till the end."

"..."

Since the man was too stubborn to accept her advice, Wen He decided to try a roundabout way to force him to leave.

"Gu Jinzhi, the first guarded perimeter is just a few hundred meters away and we will be inspected by the officers at the lookout post. Yang Yi issued my clearance papers and military credentials, so they will let me pass, but they will not do the same for you. You should…"

Leave.

Gu Jinzhi raised an eyebrow in tossed something from his pocket to her.

"Take a look at that."

Wen He took the papers and stared.

"A medical officer?!"

What the f*ck?

Since when was he a soldier?

"Gu Jinzhi, did you falsify these?"

Gu Jinzhi's eyes blinked in displeasure at her suspicious glare and replied, "It's just military credentials. I can get one for myself anytime."

After all, as a member of the Lin family, he only needed to donate some of the family's medical research findings to the military in order to obtain those papers.

Wen He saluted him with a fist and palm. "I yield."

Gu Jinzhi had prepared everything for their trip, what more could she do to stop him?

Their 4WD stopped at the lookout post. The soldiers examined their papers and let them through and even pointed out a shortcut to the encampment.
