Next to the gas station.
Fang Xin got out of the car.
Time rewound to half an hour ago.
It was the exact moment Fang Xin had asked Li Bao'er to take Ren Ling to the gas station restroom.
Ma Hu sent Fang Xin a message, asking what he was going to do.
Immediately after, Ji Xuance also sent Fang Xin a message, asking what he was going to do.
Fang Xin replied to both of them with his pre-arranged response.
Then, in the men's restroom, Fang Xin crushed the spatial orb and released Hua Cheng.
Hua Cheng looked around, "A Xin, where did you bring me? Are we teaming up to hide in a latrine?"
Fang Xin got straight to the point, "Sixth Brother, the mole has been found. They'll make their move at the service area later. Just remember to come. After the action at the service area, you'll pretend to leave but actually follow in secret. We'll encounter another ambush later!"
Hua Cheng looked at Fang Xin suspiciously, but they were good brothers, and Hua Cheng believed Fang Xin wouldn't lie to him.
"You hide here for a bit, then go to the service area restroom to clear out the small fry. After that, go help Su Ben deal with his trouble!"
Hua Cheng looked at Fang Xin in confusion, "Did you read the script, kid? You're talking as if you know every detail!"
Fang Xin chuckled, "Sixth Brother! Trust me!"
"No problem!"
Li Bao'er came out of the restroom with Ren Ling.
After everyone got into the car, Fang Xin asked, "Bao'er, did you two chat in the car?"
"Yes!"
"Then did you talk about Ren Ling's talent?"
Li Bao'er thought for a moment, "No!"
"No?"
Fang Xin fell into deep thought. As the car headed towards the service area, Fang Xin sent Shi Tailang another message.
"Fatty, when you were chatting with Ma Hu, did you tell him about Ren Ling's talent?"
Shi Tailang immediately replied, "Holy cow! Xin Ge! You're a genius! I just told Team Leader Ma about Ren Ling's messed-up talent, and you ask me! Did something go wrong?"
Fang Xin pondered for a moment, "It's fine! When we get there, you pretend to get out of the car and open the door, letting Ren Ling take a look at Ma Hu."
"Understood!"
The car had already arrived at the service area. Fang Xin mentally told Ren Ling, "There are very bad people mixed into our team, all here to kill you. When you get out of the car, pretend to casually glance at Ma Hu first! Then see who else is the mole. Don't shout if you find them, just signal me!"
Ren Ling was quiet now, "Okay!"
After getting out of the car, Shi Tailang, not far away, opened the car door and jumped out. Ren Ling pretended to casually glance at Ma Hu inside the car.
"What was he thinking?" Fang Xin asked.
Ren Ling said indignantly, "He called me a drama queen!"
"That's not an insult. Did he say anything else?"
Ren Ling rolled her eyes at Fang Xin. She seemed to hear something, and her expression stiffened, "He said someone in the service area restroom is going to make a move on me!"
Fang Xin exhaled, "That's right!"
Ma Hu had known about Ren Ling's talent beforehand, so he deliberately hid his thoughts. His feigned injury and unconsciousness were also to prevent Ren Ling from seeing his inner thoughts, and to clear himself of suspicion through the injury.
And if one were to trace back further, after the first imposter Ren Ling was swapped, she pretended to sleep in the car and was very well-behaved. It was likely Ma Hu who sent a message for her to pretend to sleep and not expose herself.
Shi Tailang had only just told Ma Hu, so Ji Xuance hadn't received any news about Ren Ling's talent, which was why Ren Ling exposed him.
After reading Ma Hu's thoughts, Ren Ling immediately stopped, "What's right? There's danger, and you still want me to go to the restroom?"
Fang Xin explained, "It's just to pretend to go and attract attention. I won't let you go in later. Bao'er, you take Zhang Yaozu in. Once inside, open the stall door and hack at the wall!"
"Awooo!"
Ren Ling shook her head like a rattle, "I'm your protector! I'm not going to take risks! Why should I be bait? I'm not going!"
Li Bao'er turned around and looked at Ren Ling very seriously, "Do you want to fly again?"
Ren Ling immediately dared not speak, knowing that when Li Bao'er said she would make a move, she really would.
Fang Xin sent a message to Shi Tailang. While Shi Tailang was pretending to chat, he told Ma Hu about Ren Ling's thoughts.
The reason for not directly exposing Ma Hu was simple.
Fang Xin still wanted to see Red-Eyed Aili one more time.
When he mentioned Aili to the other party, Red-Eyed Aili clearly paused. There must be a connection between them. Red-Eyed Aili was most likely Aili's sister.
Moreover, Fang Xin remembered something else.
The Nili Hall had been involved in both Aili's parents' case and Fang Xin's parents' case.
According to the Nili Hall clues Fang Xin knew.
The original totem of the Nili Hall was the Three-Headed Hellhound.
And Red-Eyed Aili happened to be riding a Three-Headed Dog.
He had to catch her and ask for an explanation.
Ren Ling pretended to adjust her hair and looked back at Ma Hu in the distance.
She didn't know what she heard in his thoughts, but her brows furrowed.
Ren Ling said to Fang Xin, "Hey! That Fatty teammate of yours told Ma Hu about my talent! Ma Hu is thinking of deliberately hiding his thoughts later and pretending to be injured in the upcoming fight to clear his suspicions! What should we do?"
"Don't talk nonsense, watch everyone!"
At the restroom entrance, Li Bao'er entered the restroom, drew her sword, and started hacking.
The scene plunged into chaos again.
Before long, the three people from the restroom came out.
The other teammates outside, led by Ji Xuance and Ma Hu, rushed in.
Fang Xin spoke to the NPC as if he were completing a quest in a game.
Ma Hu was seriously injured.
Mohawk Head led his men forward, ready to strike.
Ji Xuance turned to look at Fang Xin, "Fang Xin, let's go back to the car first and wait for rescue..."
Before he could finish, Fang Xin, as if rapidly completing a quest, said, "Good!"
Fang Xin hadn't walked two steps when he turned back for a surprise attack.
Ji Xuance stared at Fang Xin, "Why..."
Fang Xin explained to the others according to the original script, "He's the mole! That's why the enemy ambushed us in the restroom!"
Ji Xuance spurted blood, "You... how did you figure it out..."
"Sorry, I'm cheating!"
Mohawk Head swung his spiked club, "Run! Running is..."
Fang Xin sped up, "Running is useless. Everyone has to stay here today, right? Sixth Brother, it's your time to shine!"
Hua Cheng flashed over from a distance.
Seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help but be stunned. Hua Cheng scratched his head and muttered.
"I feel like I've dreamt this part before!"
Then he glanced at Fang Xin, highly suspecting that this kid had gotten the script in advance.
After a fierce battle.
Hua Cheng and Su Ben rushed back.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll head back first!" Hua Cheng said, according to his pre-arranged lines.
"That's all, Sixth Brother!"
Hua Cheng grinned, "Alright! Then I'll head back first!"
After speaking, Hua Cheng took out a pair of strange shoes from his spatial ring. After putting them on, flames erupted from the soles. It turned out to be a flying treasure. Hua Cheng soared into the sky and soon disappeared without a trace.
Fang Xin called everyone to get back into the car.
He specifically went forward to help Ma Hu, "Team Leader Ma, are you alright? If not, should we send someone to take you to the nearest city first?"
Ma Hu waved his hand and smiled, "I'm fine, I can still hold on! I must complete the mission!"
Once in the car.
Fang Xin looked at Ren Ling, "What was Ma Hu thinking just now?"
Ren Ling said disdainfully, "What else could he be thinking? All those things you men love to do! It's disgusting!"
Fang Xin couldn't be bothered to respond. The car moved forward. Along the way, Su Ben sent a message about a revised route.
Before long.
A thick fog enveloped them.
Many red dots appeared in the mist.
Red-Eyed Aili, riding her Three-Headed Dog, approached from that direction.
Fang Xin leaned forward and made a call to Hua Cheng.
"Sixth Brother, where are you?"
"I'm following behind. Are you really reading a script somewhere, kid?"
