Chapter 2734: Chapter 17: She Meant Airplanes

"Oh, no, you misheard!"

"..." Yun Yi swept him a cold glance. Of course he hadn’t misheard, but he had no intention of digging into it. "Just focus on driving."

"OK!"

An hour later, the car turned onto National Highway 318.

The in‑car phone connected.

"Mr. Yun, we’ve found several military vehicles near the cargo truck."

"Military vehicles?"

"Yes, the plates are Capital City Military District A... Yin B..."

Yun Yi braced his hand on the window frame, silently thinking. How could vehicles from South Province and the Capital City Military District suddenly show up?

Where did these vehicles come from?

"Mr. Yun, they changed again..."

"What’s going on?"

"The military plates have been changed into ordinary South Province plates..."

Siye Bai sneered. "Trying to cover their tracks?"

"Maybe this is the real setup. Only military vehicles don’t get monitored."

"Who’s that bold? Daring to impersonate military vehicles?" Siye Bai was suspicious. The state is extremely strict about this; once caught, the punishment is anything but light.

"He even dares steal my stuff, what wouldn’t he dare do?" Yun Yi’s fingers flew over the keyboard, and he quickly located the vehicles’ original departure point. "Near Xiangzhang Mountain!"

"What?"

"These vehicles departed from Xiangzhang Mountain. Xiangzhang Mountain is a villa district, not a military base." Yun Yi suddenly chuckled. "Could it be him?"

"You know who it is?" Ye Rongyue, who had had her eyes closed, suddenly spoke.

Yun Yi turned his head and met a pair of bright, shining eyes, full of admiration and delight...

Admiration?

The realization made Yun Yi want to laugh. She really was just a little girl.

"Only a guess."

"Oh." Ye Rongyue glanced at his laptop again and asked, "You can find out that much just from this?"

"Mm."

Ye Rongyue had to admit everything in this world was so advanced. If this were used on ancient battlefields, wouldn’t it mean invincibility?

"What, want to learn?"

Ye Rongyue reflexively wanted to say yes, but as soon as she saw his face, she turned her head away. "Who wants to learn? This young lady is just curious, that’s all. Besides, even if I did want to learn, I wouldn’t ask you."

Siye Bai glanced at the two of them in the rearview mirror, thinking to himself that this guy was in for a rough time—clearly the little girl didn’t have the slightest good feeling toward him.

The car sped along. Night had already fallen, and they had regrouped with the earlier tracking team.

"Up ahead is Qinzhou Bay Pier. They’re not planning to get on a ship, are they?" Siye Bai listened to the report from the men below and said to Yun Yi, "If they get on a ship, we’ll have a hard time chasing them."

"Stop them before they board."

Half an hour later, sure enough, it was just as Siye Bai had thought—they were planning to take the water route. A three‑deck ship was moored on the sea at Qinzhou Bay, and the cargo truck looked ready to drive straight onto it.

Just then, several people got out of those fake military vehicles and had already opened fire on Yun Yi’s men. Clearly they were providing cover for that cargo truck.

"More vehicles coming..."

Ye Rongyue held the binoculars Siye Bai had tossed to her and watched the fight.

"Whoa, why are a few big birds flying in the sky? What are those things?"

"Big birds?" Siye Bai snorted with laughter. "Girl, at this time of night, even if there were birds, the gunfire would scare them too much to come out."

"She’s talking about airplanes!"

"So those are airplanes?" Ye Rongyue was startled. "They really can fly? Are there people up there?"
