Embers Ad Infinitum

Shang Jianyao's eyebrows gradually relaxed:

"good."

"What a great guy! I haven't even said what the request is." Jiang Baimian dismissed it angrily.

She paused, exhaled and said:

“First, it cannot affect the investigation into the cause of the disappearance of Lei Yunsong and his team.

"Second, if you are not sure and will expose yourself, then turn to collecting intelligence. There will be more opportunities in the future."

The core contents of the two requirements are simply that one must be concealed and the other must be cautious.

"Okay." Shang Jianyao still gave the same answer.

Then, he turned around, walked to the group's jeep, opened the trunk, and rummaged for a baseball cap.

"What can this cover? Um... Wear the clothes inside out, inside out." Even so, Jiang Baimian took a baseball cap, put it on his head, lowered the front, and blocked half of the hat. Face.

This still has a certain camouflage effect in places where the light is relatively dim.

Shang Jianyao made the same move and then replied:

"A sense of ritual."

Jiang Baimian moved his eyes upward, too lazy to talk to the guy next to him.

After leaving the courtyard, they turned onto South Street and walked all the way to Wild Wolf Alley.

At this time, it was not yet half past eight, and not only were there lights coming out of bars, teahouses, and nightclubs, but the street lights outside were also still on, leaving shadows of varying lengths on pedestrians coming and going.

After finding the "Today" nightclub, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, wearing baseball caps, walked in.

What hits here is a heat wave that is completely different from the cold outside, and music that is getting louder and dizzying.

In the constantly changing and rolling colorful lights, Shang Jianyao felt as if he had returned home. His body followed the melody and swayed gently rhythmically.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian couldn't help but curl his lips.

However, Shang Jianyao did not join the dancing crowd. He walked to the area near the bar, found a place to stand, and stared intently at the door leading to the underground trading market.

——This was mentioned in Bai Chen's description, and based on what she and Long Yuehong told, it can be initially judged that Eugene was still inside when they left.

It is unknown whether Eugene left after they left the "Today" nightclub and before Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian came over.

Shang Jianyao raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said loudly to Jiang Baimian:

"Wait an hour."

After an hour, if the target has not been found, it is time to change the strategy.

"There's quite a plan..." Jiang Baimian originally wanted to discuss the plan with Shang Jianyao and help him perfect the details, but now he gave up on this idea and was ready to see what tricks this guy could come up with.

If there is indeed something wrong, then she, as the team leader, can still wipe it out.

In the dynamic melody, Jiang Baimian also twisted his body slightly to prevent himself from appearing abrupt, not gregarious enough, and attracting attention on this occasion.

During this process, she would often send away people who came over to ask for a dance, and help Shang Jianyao block his love.

——Although they are all wearing baseball caps with the brim of the hat lowered, and the lighting here is more psychedelic than bright, making it difficult to see their faces clearly, their figures can still attract some attention. spray.

After about ten minutes, the wooden door near the bar opened, and three people came out.

The leader was a strong man with a shaved head, wearing a black T-shirt and bright shorts, followed by two bodyguards all dressed in black.

Eugene's characteristics were so distinct that Jiang Baimian directly identified the target without making any additional comparisons.

She glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao, preparing to remind him to be patient and not to follow him in a hurry, nor to pull out his pistol on the spot and shoot randomly.

But Shang Jianyao didn't do what Jiang Baimian was worried about. He seemed to be still immersed in the sound of music, swaying his body from side to side.

When the three Eugenes approached the side entrance of the nightclub, two of the people drinking in the surrounding area got up and followed them.

At the same time, two people among the swaying crowd on the dance floor stopped and walked towards the side door.

These are Eugene's bodyguards hiding in the dark.

"Okay." Jiang Baimian said immediately.

But her voice was completely drowned out by the loud music.

However, Shang Jianyao seemed to be waiting for this moment, taking steps and followed him, like another bodyguard,

When the person in front stopped, he also stopped, and when the person in front walked, he also walked. Not only did he have no intention of covering up his tracks, but he also showed the arrogance that I am just following you.

Naturally, this could not be hidden from the two bodyguards at the end. They looked at each other, one continued forward, and the other stayed by the side door, turned around and blocked Shang Jianyao.

The bodyguard who stayed behind waited until Shang Jianyao approached, then in the changing blurry light, he lifted up his clothes, exposed his pistol, and said in a deep voice:

"Brother, what are you going to do?"

Shang Jianyao, who wore his hat low and most of his face hidden in the shadows, smiled condescendingly:

"What am I going to do?

"look:

"You have weapons, I also have weapons..."

When he said this, he put his right hand into his pocket and pulled out the small half of the gun body.

This belongs to "ice moss".

This made the bodyguard a little nervous, and he considered whether to shoot first.

Shang Jianyao seemed not to notice the change in the atmosphere and continued:

"You were dancing just now, and I was dancing too.

"so……"

The bodyguard was in a daze for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Are you also the boss's secret guard?"

"I specialize in dealing with people with supernatural abilities, and I'm usually not here." Shang Jianyao explained seriously, "Where will the boss go next? I received news that someone is going to assassinate him."

The bodyguard suddenly became nervous:

"We're going to the parking lot to get back to camp."

"That parking lot at the end of the alley?" Shang Jianyao asked.

Thanks to his previous "shopping" with Jiang Baimian, he was quite familiar with the urban layout outside Yecao City North Street.

And he would review the hand-drawn map from time to time.

If it were anyone else who had just arrived in Weed City, if they heard about the parking lot, they would definitely go to East Street to look for it.

"Yes." The bodyguard said truthfully, "Then I have to report back quickly."

"Don't worry, don't alarm the snake. Don't worry, I'm here." Shang Jianyao said in a persuasive manner, "Which car did the boss use today?"

There couldn't be only one car in a slave-catching team.

"The black off-road vehicle is very domineering and bulletproof. Lao Geng is waiting over there and can see it at a glance." The bodyguard didn't hide anything.

Shang Jianyao nodded:

"Hurry up and follow me. Look at my gestures later and protect the boss immediately.

"Also, keep it a secret from the people next to you! Just say that I am suspected of being mentally ill."

"Okay!" The bodyguard turned around and trotted to catch up with Eugene and others in front.

Shang Jianyao turned his body sideways and said to Jiang Baimian who quietly sneaked nearby:

"PARKING LOT."

After saying that, he swung his arms and ran wildly, but instead of following Eugene's route, he ran in the opposite direction back to the exit from Wild Wolf Alley to West Street, and went around the alley next to it.

Once there, he quickly changed direction and ran to the north, where the parking lot was.

With the sound of stomping footsteps, Shang Jianyao ran as if he was being chased by ten armed thugs, or racing against someone.

Of course, someone was chasing him, and they were getting closer.

Jiang Baimian's explosive power and speed are no worse than Shang Jianyao, and his endurance is obviously better.

It didn't take long before they reached the end of the alley, turned left, passed the exit of Wild Wolf Lane, and ran into the specially designated parking lot.

This is the benefit of familiarity with the terrain.

At this time, Eugene and the others had only walked two-thirds of the distance.

They first saw a man wearing a baseball cap running past in front of him, and then a woman wearing a baseball cap chased after him.

"Is this for free?" Eugene was stunned for a moment, then guessed with a smile.

This is not too unusual in Weed City.

Eugene didn't think there was any hidden danger in this. After all, he had experienced hundreds of battles and had encountered people who had been assassinated many times. He didn't think that such a cheerful, funny, and funny thing would affect him.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the entrance of the parking lot and said to the old man guarding the guard box:

"Did someone run in just now?"

Although Eugene didn't think there was anything wrong with the man and woman chasing each other, he still had to ask what he should, and be careful when sailing for thousands of years.

"Yes, I didn't even have time to stop him!" the old man complained.

Then, he pointed in a direction:

"Run over there."

Seeing that the two cars were not in the same direction as his own, Eugene said nothing and enjoyed the cold wind. He entered the parking lot and walked near a tall black off-road vehicle.

The glass on both sides of this off-road vehicle is covered with dark window film, which can effectively block the sniper's sight.

At this time, the driver wearing a wire hat was leaning on the front of the car, smoking a simple cigarette.

"Old Geng, is anyone here?" the bodyguard Eugene relied on most asked.

The driver, Lao Geng, dropped his cigarette butt, stepped on it, and laughed:

"No, aren't I watching?"

Eugene nodded and motioned to the bodyguards on both sides to make basic confirmations.

One of the bodyguards walked up, opened the back seat door, and looked inside

Suddenly, he felt a little dissatisfied:

Why is it that I am the one doing the work and they just watch?

Why can my boss enjoy the hot and spicy food, while I risk my life for him, but I can only get a little bit?

Why am I trying so hard? Be lazy if you can!

With this thought in mind, the bodyguard responsible for the inspection ended hastily and turned around and said:

"Boss, no problem."

Eugene felt relieved and walked to the other side of the vehicle, preparing to get into the back seat.

At this moment, a "bang" sound came from his ears.

Someone is shooting from a distance!

Eugene reacted very quickly and squatted down suddenly to use the bulletproof vehicle as a defense.

Bang bang bang!

The gunshots continued, and mud splashed from time to time on the ground. The bodyguards each found a shelter, took out their guns, and fired back.

When the driver, Lao Geng, saw this, he quickly shouted:

"Boss, get in the car quickly, I'll take you back to the camp first!"

Since he couldn't figure out how many enemies there were, Eugene thought this would be a good idea, so he opened the passenger door, held it up with his left hand, and sat in.

Amidst the slamming of the door, the off-road vehicle roared violently and shot out like a sharp arrow.

It sprinted out of the parking lot without slowing down, while gunfire continued from behind.

Arriving here, Eugene breathed a sigh of relief and looked sideways at the driver's seat.

His eyes suddenly solidified.

The driver next to him who was looking straight ahead and focused on driving was not wearing a linen cap like Lao Geng, but a baseball cap.

At this time, the driver turned his head, revealing a handsome face that was mostly covered by shadows.

The corners of his mouth turned up a little.
