Fang Xin's brain worked quickly.
The only chance Ren Ling could have been swapped was just now at the service area.
However, Ren Ling was accompanied by Li Bao'er the entire time they were at the service area.
But Fang Xin quickly thought of another possibility.
Li Bao'er accompanied Ren Ling to the restroom.
But it was impossible for her to go into the stall with Ren Ling while she was using the toilet.
It was highly likely that the person was swapped at that critical moment.
Fang Xin didn't rush to have the car stopped.
Instead, his gaze fell upon the fake Ren Ling.
A clear light flickered in his eyes.
His perception not only allowed him to see what would happen in the next thirty-five minutes, but also what had happened in the past thirty-five minutes.
Time Rewind.
Images of the current Ren Ling played in reverse in Fang Xin's mind.
It rewound little by little until it reached the scene of her going to the restroom.
The images played backward.
Gradually, Fang Xin couldn't help but hold his breath.
Sure enough.
When Ren Ling went to the restroom.
Before she even had a chance to pull down her pants, ripples suddenly emanated from the wall of her stall.
He saw a hand reach out from within, cover Ren Ling's mouth, and drag her directly inside.
Then, a person identical to Ren Ling, carrying Ren Ling's belongings, walked out, while the real Ren Ling was being held down by the person inside.
The fake Ren Ling opened Ren Ling's phone, which had a message from Ren Ling's ex-boyfriend: "Baby, pretend you need to use the restroom, make them stop at the service area, then deliberately stall for time, so I can come find you, okay?"
"Okay!" the fake Ren Ling replied with a message, a mischievous smile on her face. Another phone vibrated, and the fake Ren Ling pulled out her own phone. On it were her call and chat records with Ren Ling, pretending to be Ren Ling's boyfriend.
At this moment, nearly twenty minutes had passed since the swap.
Fang Xin's mind continued to flash back to scenes from over thirty minutes ago.
At the end of the images flashing through his mind.
The fake Ren Ling was in a small space, with two other people sitting beside her. There was a message on the screen Ren Ling was staring at.
"Our people sent word that Ren Ling will get off at the service area to use the restroom. You go to the restroom and wait for her in advance. Then swap with her! Execute the subsequent plan to turn Professor Ren Wenzhong, Ren Ling's father! If absolutely necessary, assassinate him! After the deed is done, you'll be awarded a first-class merit!"
Fang Xin snapped back to reality and looked at the fake Ren Ling beside him.
And the other party knew in advance exactly which service area Ren Ling would get off at.
But the order to get off at the service area was given by Battalion Commander Su Ben, the leader of this operation.
Could it be that Su Ben was an undercover agent planted by the Eternal Night Army?
After a brief thought, Fang Xin sent a message to Li Bao'er.
"Bao'er, did you receive any advance instructions to stop at the service area?"
Li Bao'er's reply came quickly, "Yes, I received instructions! He said to have a female team member accompany Ren Ling when she goes to the restroom!"
Fang Xin clutched his zhilian device.
That means Su Ben had issued the order to rest at the service area in advance, and everyone had received this instruction before arriving at the service area.
Su Ben was highly suspicious, but it was not impossible for others to have leaked this information.
Fang Xin glanced at the time; it had been over twenty minutes since they left the service area.
Even though Ren Ling was an idiot, she was still the person they were tasked to protect.
He could hit her or scold her, but he couldn't lose her.
Fang Xin suddenly grabbed the fake Ren Ling's hands.
He squeezed the fake Ren Ling's neck, "How many of you are there?"
Shen Yu and Bai Yulin in the front row were both stunned, turning their heads with bewildered expressions at Fang Xin, who had suddenly attacked, "What's wrong, Xin Ge?"
Ren Ling angrily said, "Let go of me, you son of a bitch! Don't you believe I'll have my dad report you to your superiors for molesting me!"
"After you swapped with Ren Ling in the restroom! Where did your people take Ren Ling? How many more of you are there? What are your cultivation levels?"
Ren Ling's face changed slightly, "I don't understand what you're saying!"
"You don't understand? Can you understand the part about you impersonating Ren Ling to turn Ren Wenzhong, and if unsuccessful, assassinating him?"
The fake Ren Ling stared at Fang Xin, "You? How did you know?"
"Answer my questions!"
The fake Ren Ling smiled at Fang Xin, "So what if you know? Ren Ling has already been captured by our people! Do you think Ren Wenzhong will still be so loyal to you and contribute to you?"
As she spoke, a bone-chilling coldness suddenly erupted from the fake Ren Ling's body. Fang Xin's hands, gripping Ren Ling's arm, began to freeze. Only then did he realize that the fake Ren Ling had somehow used a treasure to conceal her Level Seven combat power.
The fake Ren Ling's smile was resentful and malicious, "I didn't expect a Strength-based Mangfu to actually use his brain! You ruined our plan! You made me lose a chance for a first-class merit, but so what? Ren Ling is already in our hands! You are powerless to turn the tide! If I can't kill Ren Wenzhong, killing you won't be in vain!"
Fang Xin punched the fake Ren Ling in the face.
The Rewind Treasure Mirror flipped out.
The surrounding space began to distort.
Previously, Fang Xin could only rewind fifteen minutes.
But now, Fang Xin's cultivation level had increased.
He could now rewind half an hour.
When all the images froze.
Fang Xin returned to half an hour ago.
The car was about to reach the service area.
Fang Xin had already used premonition three times and rewind once today, and only three Divine Springs remained full.
He quickly calculated his next plan in his mind.
Fang Xin glanced at Ren Ling. When Ren Ling stared at others, she could know what they were thinking, which was also a cheat. Later, he could have her verify who the undercover agents were in the team.
However, Su Ben had always been elusive, never showing his true self, so he could only find another way to verify.
The car gradually approached the service area.
Ren Ling was already prepared to get out and go to the restroom.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xin grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing?" Ren Ling twisted her body like a pig at New Year's.
Fang Xin privately sent a message to Su Ben, "Team Su, the service area will be crowded and messy later. Just in case an enemy takes advantage of the crowd to attack Ren Ling, I'll take her to the gas station next to the service area to use the restroom!"
Su Ben quickly replied, "No problem!"
There were no more service areas further down the road, and the other party wanted to turn Ren Wenzhong. Swapping Ren Ling was the most crucial part of their plan, so acting here was the perfect opportunity. Otherwise, they would only be able to swap her by forcibly creating chaos later on.
Fang Xin patted Shen Yu, "Big guy, park up ahead at the gas station!"
"I need to use the restroom!" Ren Ling shouted loudly.
Fang Xin ignored her. After the car stopped, he held Ren Ling down and called Li Bao'er from the car behind to discuss something.
He deliberately stalled for a while, then slowly walked towards the gas station.
Ren Ling still wanted to make a fuss, but when she saw Li Bao'er, she clearly cowered a lot.
After all, Li Bao'er really did beat her up.
Ma Hu from the car behind sent a message, "Fang Xin, where are you going? Isn't that drama queen supposed to go to the restroom?"
Fang Xin replied, "Going to take care of something up ahead. I'll let her go after we come back!"
Ji Xuance also sent a message asking, and Fang Xin gave the same excuse as a reply.
The car arrived at the gas station, and several people got out.
Fang Xin pulled Li Bao'er aside, "Bao'er, after you go inside, when she's in the stall, the door must be open! Keep an eye on her at all times! I'll be right outside the door. If anything seems off, act immediately!"
"Oh! Okay!"
Fang Xin and Bai Yulin stood at the restroom entrance, listening to the movements inside at all times.
Ren Ling cursed and grumbled, but she still went in to use the restroom.
Before long, the two of them came out.
Fang Xin said to Li Bao'er again, "Bao'er, when we get back to the service area, take Ren Ling to the restroom again. Go into the restroom, open a stall, and slash the wall a few times to see if there are any treasures attached to the wall!"
Li Bao'er didn't understand what Fang Xin was doing, but she still nodded blankly, "Okay!"
If Su Ben was an undercover agent, then the people waiting in ambush in the service area restroom would have received the news and definitely left.
But if Su Ben wasn't an undercover agent, then they wouldn't know that Ren Ling had gone to the gas station restroom and would still be waiting inside.
Fang Xin grabbed Ren Ling again and spoke to her in his mind, "There's an undercover agent in our team. The other party wants to kill you. If a fight breaks out later, you're responsible for watching to see who the undercover agent is! Did you hear me?"
Although Ren Ling was unconvinced, she still nodded.
Back at the service area, Li Bao'er wanted to take Ren Ling to the restroom. Ren Ling originally wanted to say something, but Li Bao'er's glare made her behave.
Fang Xin and the others all walked inside.
During this time, just in case, Fang Xin also called over Zhang Yaozu to accompany them.
At the restroom entrance, only Zhang Yaozu and Li Bao'er entered the restroom together.
As soon as Li Bao'er, the simpleton, went in, she opened a stall door and chopped at the wall, regardless of whether anyone was inside.
Screams and curses immediately erupted from inside.
A few seconds later.
A huge energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from the restroom.
Li Bao'er dragged Zhang Yaozu out, stumbling and bleeding from the corner of her mouth.
"Xin Guo! There's an ambush inside!"
The scene descended into chaos. Immediately after, several figures flashed out of the restroom.
Among them was the imposter disguised as Ren Ling.
The leader was a Mohawk Head man, wearing a leather vest and carrying a spiked club. He spat a thick wad of phlegm on the ground, his sinister gaze sweeping over Fang Xin and the others one by one.
"Damn it, how did they know we were here!"
Fang Xin stared at the group.
The other party was still waiting in ambush here.
That proved that Su Ben was not the undercover agent; someone else was.
Fang Xin looked at Ren Ling beside him.
Ren Ling was quiet now and nodded, indicating she understood.
The commotion here immediately attracted the attention of teammates outside.
Ji Xuance led his men in first, followed by Ma Hu, who rushed in with Shi Tailang and several others from behind.
Ren Ling suddenly grabbed Fang Xin's arm, staring at one of the people.
