Chapter 95: Chapter 95 Seed of Estrangement
An hour later, the drowsy Fang Xiaocao was awakened by the noisy footsteps and shouting.
“I can’t believe how careless I am…”
Fang Xiaocao was utterly powerless to criticize herself.
In such a dangerous environment, she had almost fallen asleep.
If she had fallen asleep…
Never mind the sniper hidden in the shadows.
...
Just any random wolf, tiger, or leopard could have sent her down to keep Aquarius company.
“Be careful, there’s a sniper!”
As the footsteps drew closer, Fang Xiaocao quickly shouted a warning.
“Alert!”
Before Fang Xiaocao’s words had finished echoing, a voice filled with magnetism reached Miss Fang’s ears.
“Which direction is the sniper?”
The magnetic voice inquired.
“I don’t know~”
“My friend was shot in the head.”
“I’m scared to death, I’ve been lying here for an hour.”
Fang Xiaocao shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly.
“If I knew where the sniper was, I would have thought of a way to escape already. Why would I be squatting here, nearly falling asleep out of boredom?”
Fang Xiaocao complained inwardly.
“Stay alert!”
“Sniper team, find him!”
The magnetic voice rang out again.
“Go ahead and search; there won’t be a peep from them,”
Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself.
The boundless forest was indeed the sniper’s main battlefield. Just choose any spot to hide, wearing a camouflaged uniform, it would be very difficult to find him unless he exposed himself.
“Report, the sniper team has not located the target.”
Ten minutes later, a deep voice came through the radio.
“Keep searching!”
“Check all the commanding heights nearby.”
The magnetic voice spoke up again.
“Assault team, find a way to rescue first.”
The magnetic voice commanded.
“Yes!”
A robust voice came through the earpiece.
“Hey, don’t mess around!”
“He has a gun!”
“It’s very dangerous if he hasn’t left!”
Hearing the commotion, Fang Xiaocao hurriedly yelled.
Fang Xiaocao did not want to see someone sacrifice themselves to save her right in front of her eyes.
She would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
“Protecting civilians is our duty!”
The magnetic voice said.
Hearing this, Fang Xiaocao felt a warmth in her heart.
A sense of pride spontaneously arose.
Looking around the world, besides the soldiers of China, which country’s army would willingly risk their lives to rescue civilians?
“Wait!”
“Don’t rush over here!”
“I have a plan!”
Fang Xiaocao shouted loudly.
“Don’t be reckless; just wait for our rescue.”
The magnetic voice said sternly.
“I’m afraid to die; I won’t be reckless.”

“Don’t move yet, let me try something.”
Fang Xiaocao quickly shouted.
Saying this, Fang Xiaocao picked up a tree branch, took off her jacket, and hooked it onto the branch.
Fang Xiaocao used the branch to mimic her own appearance, attempting to lure the sniper into revealing himself as she moved towards the rescuers little by little.
For five straight minutes, Fang Xiaocao swayed but did not hear the thunderous sound of a sniper rifle.
Could it be that the sniper had fled?
“No more waiting!”
“Assaulter, prepare to rescue.”
Keeping his patience, the magnetic voice decided to take the risk and initiate the action immediately after seeing that the sniper did not shoot.
“Yes!”
A voice echoed in response through the earpiece.
“Sniper team, remain alert and look for hidden snipers,”
“Assault team, move out!”
A magnetic voice issued the orders.
“Yes!”
“Ssssss…”
Footsteps resounded, and Fang Xiaocao looked towards the source of the noise.
She saw two uncles in green camouflage with painted faces, running rapidly towards her.
Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao opened her mouth to speak, but the words stopped at her lips, unspoken.
Fang Xiaocao knew that even if she spoke, it would change nothing.
She could only silently pray in her heart that the sniper hidden in the shadows had already stealthily left.
“Move quickly!”
A deep voice entered her ears.
The next second, Fang Xiaocao felt herself being lifted off her feet.
Fixing her gaze, it turned out that she was being carried by one of the uncles.
“Cover the assault team!”
“Assault team, send one person to take her back to the rendezvous point, retreat with the main force, and the rest continue the search with me,”
The magnetic voice rang out once more.
This time, it was very close to Fang Xiaocao.
Fang Xiaocao looked towards the sound and saw a man with a straight posture, wearing jungle camouflage and face paint, kneeling behind a tree.
…
On the ride back to Tang City, Fang Xiaocao gazed out of the car window at the swiftly receding scenery, lost in thought.
“Zhi Qi…”
“Could it really be you?”
Fang Xiaocao muttered to herself inwardly.
“Xiaocao, what are you thinking about?”
Sitting next to Fang Xiaocao, Su Wanqing asked curiously like a curious baby.
“Nothing much…”
Fang Xiaocao replied nonchalantly.
Regarding her suspicions about Zhi Qi, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t tell anyone and had to keep them to herself.
Moreover, although Zhi Qi was highly suspicious,
people like Su Wanqing still remained under suspicion.
Who the real mastermind hidden in the shadows was, remained unknown.
What if…
Su Wanqing was the person?
It wasn’t just Zhi Qi who had left the camp at that time.
Su Wanqing had also been gone for quite some time.
No one knew what Su Wanqing did during the time she was gone.
Now, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t trust anyone except for Aquarius, who was dead.
Even Yun Luoshu, she didn’t quite trust.
Though comparatively, Zhi Qi was the most suspicious,
while Yun Luoshu was the least suspicious among everyone.
After exiting the mountains, Ye Lingchen, Lin Meng, and Qian Xia separated from them and returned to Beijing in the car that came to pick them up.
Before parting, Fang Xiaocao and Ye Lingchen exchanged WeChat contacts and made plans to visit Beijing.
The ever-mysterious Wan Xiaozhou, no one knew when, but he had quietly departed without leaving a goodbye.
In this car headed to Tang City, besides the driver, there were only Fang Xiaocao, Zhi Qi, Yun Luoshu, Su Wanqing, and Wen Shi.
This car was sent by the Zhi Family to pick up Zhi Qi.
Fang Xiaocao and three others got a lift.
Fang Xiaocao, staring at the back of Zhi Qi in the front row, fell into a dilemma once again.
She didn’t know how to face Zhi Qi in the future.
Ever since she began suspecting Zhi Qi, a seed called estrangement had been sown in her heart.
As time passed, this seed took root and sprouted in Fang Xiaocao’s heart, blooming and bearing fruit.
Although she didn’t want to believe that it was Zhi Qi, Fang Xiaocao had started to guard against him everywhere.
Zhi Qi’s every move seemed suspicious to Fang Xiaocao’s eyes with tainted glasses.
Very suspicious!
It seemed every smile had an ulterior motive.
The car slowly drove into Tang City!
“Xiaocao, where are you going?”
“Do you want to come to my place?”
Zhi Qi in the front row turned back and asked Fang Xiaocao.
“No…”
“It’s not necessary.”
“I’m a bit tired and would like to go home to rest,”
Fang Xiaocao said with a forced smile, declining the offer.
