Chapter 585: Annoying! Why Would You Mention Something Like That?

Thankfully, Lie Feng was faster.

When Gu Qingjiu saw Lie Feng’s car driving towards her, she immediately hopped into it.

Zong Wenjia and Zong Wenxuan were already in the car.

They immediately asked, “What happened?”

“How would I know what happened?!”

Gu Qingjiu, who was nearly caught, could still feel lingering fears. With a headache, she asked, “Why are there only two bullets loaded in the gun? If I had fired a shot at that guard, he wouldn’t have discovered me!”

Upon hearing this, Zong Wenjia and the rest gazed at her sheepishly. “The anesthesia in the gun is a strong drug that takes effect instantaneously, which makes it very expensive. That’s why Lu Ziyang has always been stingy in these areas…”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

She nearly had a meltdown, feeling like she got in too deep.

“No need to worry.”

Lie Feng sounded steady as he drove. “They don’t dare to give chase.”

What a joke? Who would dare to race cars in the middle of the night in the capital?

Furthermore, doing so to catch someone.

If the military troops discovered them, they would be dead meat.

Gu Qingjiu turned her head and saw that those guards merely peered around at the villa area entrance. When they saw that the car had taken off, they only stared and did nothing.

“But this time, Newbie, still got to thank you.”

Zong Wenjia cast a somewhat embarrassed glance at Gu Qingjiu, but at the same time, she couldn’t conceal her curiosity. “Could you see me at the time?”

Gu Qingjiu let out an exhale to calm herself down, then replied, “I could see via the binoculars. After that, I roughly gauged the location.”

She couldn’t have said she had relied on her intuition back then, right?

If her intuition were off, perhaps the one lying down would have been Zong Wenjia…

Gu Qingjiu certainly wouldn’t say something that sounded so risky.

“Terrific, Newbie. You’ve achieved great merit this time!”

Zong Wenxuan patted Gu Qingjiu on her shoulder, as though they were on friendly terms.

Gu Qingjiu creased her brows slightly.

“Thank you. I had wanted to think of a way to get out of that place then.”

Zong Wenjia also heaved a sigh of relief. “But we did gain something in this mission. For now, we can only bring back the USB flash drive. I can’t be certain if it’s evidence yet. Now that we have exposed ourselves, Yun Qiyue will definitely put his guard up. But this mission won’t be our responsibility after this. We’ve already accomplished what we were supposed to do.”

Having laid down on the soil for so long, Gu Qingjiu felt itchy from head to toe. She had an insane urge to go back and take a shower.

Her heart was still racing from that fiasco earlier.

After all, to turn from an ordinary young lady to an agent on a mission, she hadn’t gotten used to such a transformation yet!

“Can you first send me back to the designated location? I’ll find a way to get back to school myself after I retrieve my phone. The only thing I wish to do now is taking a shower!”

It was rare to hear Gu Qingjiu complain about something.

“You can go to our secret base to take a shower. But you can’t go back yet for now.”

Zong Wenjia was fidgeting with a communication device. “Lu Ziyang already received the news and asked us to go back to report the outcome to him first.”

Gu Qingjiu was dismayed to hear that, but she didn’t voice any objection. “Then will I make it back in time for school tomorrow? I have lessons tomorrow…”

Everyone went speechless.

An eerie silence fell over the car for a moment before Zong Wenxuan said, “What are you afraid of? Just get Lu Ziyang to apply for a day’s leave tomorrow. You can just have a good rest. It’s been an exciting night, right?”

Zong Wenxuan suddenly edged closer to Gu Qingjiu with a sly smile. “I understand. The first time I went on a mission, I was incredibly nervous as well.”

“And then you bungled the entire mission and even tried to shirk responsibility, instead of accomplishing the mission perfectly like Qingjiu.”

Lie Feng let out a snort.

Zong Wenxuan was speechless.

Annoying!
