Fang Xin glanced at the time.
Bai Yulin, in her sister form, was currently tidying up Ren Ling's belongings.
Li Bao'er had two knives tucked under her armpits.
She glared at Ren Ling the entire time, looking like she could hack Ren Ling at any moment.
Ren Ling lay on the sofa, took a bunch of grapes, and ate one.
Then she spat the grape skin and seeds on the floor, blew her nose, and pointed at Li Bao'er.
“You! Clean my house!”
Li Bao'er crunched on potato chips, not moving an inch.
The sharp blade energy visibly swirled around Li Bao'er’s knife.
Ren Ling pointed at Li Bao'er.
“You're still glaring at me? You should know who my dad is, right? Do you believe I'll have my dad report you to your superiors! To have you punished!”
Li Bao'er continued to glare at Ren Ling, “Go on, do it now!”
Ren Ling sat up, huffing, “Do you think I wouldn't dare?”
This kind of undisciplined young lady always felt that the whole world revolved around her, especially with a bit of family background and support, which made her even more insufferable, wishing everyone was her servant.
Seeing Li Bao'er unmoved, Ren Ling immediately turned her attention to Fang Xin, “You! What are you looking at, you delusional idiot! You! Aren't you a squad leader? Either you make her clean, or you clean for me! I'm telling you! If you don't obey me today, I'll call my dad and complain about you, and my dad only needs one call to ruin your futures!”
Fang Xin glanced at Ren Ling, then raised his hand to his mouth and made a zipping motion.
Signaling Ren Ling to shut her mouth.
Ren Ling’s face instantly turned ashen with anger, and she stood up, ready to go through Fang Xin's family tree from beginning to end.
Her phone suddenly vibrated.
Ren Ling saw the caller ID was her best friend's number and immediately answered the call.
Unexpectedly, a man's voice came from the other end.
“Baby, it’s me, why did you block me? I've been going crazy missing you these past few days, can we get back together? The withdrawal symptoms have been too strong without you, baby, can we meet and talk properly, at that restaurant we always go to!”
After listening to the call, Ren Ling turned to look at Fang Xin, her eyes slightly shocked, she hadn't expected her ex-boyfriend to actually call her.
After a moment of hesitation, Ren Ling cleared her throat, covering her phone, “Is that the courier? Need a pickup code? Wait a moment!”
Saying that, she went to the bedroom. Ren Ling closed the door and said into the phone, “Why are you calling me?”
“Baby, I miss you, please don't be angry anymore, okay? I'll listen to everything you say from now on! Let's make up!”
Ren Ling hesitated, “Then wait for me at the restaurant, I'll get ready and come over!”
Hanging up the phone, Ren Ling came out of the bedroom, changed her clothes, and said to Fang Xin and the others.
“I have a package that arrived, I need to go down and pick it up!”
Shi Tailang blocked her way, “Miss Ren, time is urgent, I'll go pick up any package for you!”
Ren Ling immediately pushed Shi Tailang, “Are you sick? My personal belongings, what if you damage them? Get out of the way! What are you capable of, aren't you just a bunch of dead soldiers my dad sent to protect me? Where I go is none of your business to dictate!”
Li Bao'er put her potato chips into her spatial ring, grabbed Ren Ling's hand, and pressed her onto the sofa, “Sit still, alright!”
Ren Ling looked up, glaring at Li Bao'er, “What do you want to do?”
“Make you fly!”
Li Bao'er's delicate white palm spread her five fingers, twisting her waist, her leg driving her waist, her waist driving her shoulder, her shoulder driving her elbow, her elbow driving her hand.
Slap!
Crisp and loud!
Li Bao'er had put all her strength into that slap.
Ren Ling, along with the sofa, flew horizontally, her head hitting the French window with a dull thud.
She completely fainted.
Half of her face was already deformed from the impact, and her mouth and nose were filled with blood.
Li Bao'er wiped her hand, which had just finished eating potato chips, on Ren Ling's body, then lifted Ren Ling with one hand and carried her on her shoulder.
She sniffed at Fang Xin, and said innocently.
“Xin Guo! She said if her ex-boyfriend called and she didn't leave, we could hit her!”
Fang Xin looked at the others and instructed, “If anything happens, push it onto me. If the higher-ups come looking for trouble with Bao'er, you just say that I, as the team leader, told Bao'er to do it! Bao'er was just following orders!”
They all grinned, “Understood!”
The door opened, and Shen Yu's big head poked in. He saw the bruised and swollen Ren Ling being carried on a shoulder and rubbed his head.
Ma Hu walked over from the stairwell, and seeing the situation, he couldn't help but be stunned, then quickly went forward to check, “You guys hit the person you're supposed to escort?”
“No, where did we hit her?”
“Then where did these injuries on her face come from, and there's a handprint too?”
Fang Xin explained earnestly, “Her face hit my teammate's hand!”
Ma Hu grinned, “A pampered little thing, lacking a good beating from society! Let's go, the car downstairs is already waiting!”
Two modified off-road vehicles were parked downstairs, capable of withstanding attacks from a level ten combat power.
Fang Xin, Shen Yu, and Bai Yulin escorted Ren Ling in one car.
Ma Hu, Li Bao'er, Zhang Yaozu, and Shi Tailang were in the car behind.
During the journey, Fang Xin's perception net was open the entire time, constantly sensing any disturbances nearby.
Ji Xuance's squad was in the two cars, secretly escorting Fang Xin's squad from front to back.
Su Ben's squad had gone invisible after getting off the plane, watching from an unknown location.
The cars gradually drove out of the city.
Fang Xin looked out the car window. It would take approximately three and a half hours to reach the destination from the starting point.
Half an hour had already passed, leaving three hours of travel.
Bai Mao Zai had also given Fang Xin the task of finding the mole, but given the current situation, he hadn't identified anyone who seemed like an Eternal Night Army infiltrator.
This escort mission was only issued after arriving at the starting point. If there truly was an inside agent, the information would have been leaked after the mission was released.
Ren Ling woke up midway, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she cried and screamed, “Do you believe I'll have my dad sue all of you!”
Fang Xin turned his head and gave Ren Ling a cold look, “Then do you believe that if you keep acting so unreasonable, I'll make sure you don't live to see your dad?”
Ren Ling shrank back, glaring fiercely at Fang Xin.
She pulled out her phone, huddled in the back seat playing with it. A few minutes later, Ren Ling loudly declared, “I need to go to the bathroom!”
“Hold it in!”
“I said! I need to go to the bathroom!”
“I said hold it in!”
Ren Ling yelled, “I can't hold it anymore!”
Hei Yulin, sitting in the front passenger seat, handed her a bottle.
Ren Ling swatted the bottle away, “Are you sick! Stop the car! Stop the car for me!”
Saying that, Ren Ling tried to open the car door and jump out.
Fang Xin grabbed Ren Ling, just as he was about to give her a physical 'calm down' moment.
Su Ben's voice suddenly came from the speaker in a corner of the car, “Tell her to hold it in, there's a rest stop thirty kilometers away where she can use the bathroom!”
Only then did Ren Ling stop her yelling and screaming.
About twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the rest stop.
Ren Ling got out of the car. Fang Xin was also about to go relieve himself. Ren Ling turned her head and glared at Fang Xin, “What, you're going to follow me, a girl, to the bathroom too?”
“Bao'er!” Fang Xin called out.
Li Bao'er walked over from the other car, and Ren Ling immediately shut her mouth.
Ma Hu and Fang Xin entered the restroom one after another. Ma Hu patted his pocket, “Damn it! Fang Xin, do you have tissues?”
Fang Xin handed him some tissues.
As they were walking out, they bumped into Ji Xuance, who was coming in to use the restroom. Ji Xuance nodded to Fang Xin.
After waiting a few minutes outside, Ren Ling walked out of the restroom, muttering.
Everyone had returned.
“Let's go!”
The car sped off. Fang Xin was constantly vigilant of his surroundings. Ren Ling sat in the back, closing her eyes, feigning sleep.
For the next ten minutes or so, Ren Ling didn't make any more noise. Fang Xin glanced at Ren Ling, muttering to himself, “The idiot finally quieted down!”
But a few seconds later, Fang Xin suddenly turned to look at Ren Ling.
“Idiot?” Fang Xin called out in his mind.
Ren Ling kept her eyes closed, unresponsive.
Fang Xin nudged Ren Ling. Ren Ling kept her eyes closed, ignoring him. Fang Xin shook Ren Ling hard.
Ren Ling finally opened her eyes, “Are you sick! Can you stop acting like an orphan!”
Fang Xin smiled, “Miss Ren is joking, I'm not like an orphan, I am an orphan. Would you like some water, Miss Ren?”
While saying this, Fang Xin secretly cursed in his mind, “You stupid idiot, who are you barking at!”
Ren Ling rolled her eyes, “No!”
Fang Xin smiled, “Alright, Miss Ren! Then would you like to eat anything?”
But in his mind, he thought again, “This idiot can't hear me cursing her?”
Ren Ling rolled her eyes again, saying with a mouth full of obscenities, “Don't try to curry favor, if you have nothing to do, go bite a lighter, you act like you have some big illness!”
After speaking, she turned her head back and closed her eyes, feigning sleep.
Fang Xin's heart was stirred.
Ren Ling had the talent to hear others' inner thoughts, and according to Ren Ling's usual behavior, if Fang Xin cursed her like that, she couldn't possibly be unresponsive.
Then there was only one reason.
The Ren Ling in front of him was not the real Ren Ling!
In other words.
Ren Ling had been swapped at the rest stop!
