Yang Qi and Yue Fangping exchanged a glance when they saw the three well-camouflaged vehicles and four guards in the forest clearing.
Yue Fangping calmly made a hand signal for "retreat and take cover."
The group, including Xiaojiu who was scouting ahead, silently retreated without disturbing a single leaf.
Once they had retreated to a safe distance, Yue Fangping looked at Yang Qi and Xiaojiu, giving them an undisguised thumbs-up filled with sincere admiration.
If Xiaojiu hadn't spotted them in advance, they would have likely blundered right into the enemy's security perimeter.
"Old Li, Da Liu..."
Yue Fangping quickly called them out, his voice low. "You four stay behind. Spread out, find advantageous positions, and keep your eyes glued to those four men and three vehicles. As long as they don't leave, you don't move!"
