Zhao Hua, as a technical expert, has no problem with theoretical analysis.

He just couldn’t imagine that the group of terrorists would have a mysterious computer similar to a supercomputer.

The two and a half hours passed quickly.

At 11:30 a.m., the group successfully arrived in Wuzhou City, and Wu Kang took the lead in finding a Wu Restaurant in the city center.

After eating and drinking their fill, Zhou Yang was already eager to head to the scenic area, so after a brief rest, the group set off again, and about a quarter of an hour later, a breathtaking landscape of green mountains and clear water finally appeared before them.

Tianhu Mountain, as the largest island of Tianhu, is the essence of the Tianhu Scenic Area and is one of Wuzhou’s attractions for domestic and foreign tourists. It not only has bays and mountain lakes, valleys in the mountains, but also bizarre rocks and winding paths, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful early autumn time in the natural wilderness.

Looking at the scenery before him.

Gu Ji’s long-standing tension, oppressed by game levels, gradually faded away.

But when the group approached the scenic area, they found that there were so many tourists visiting Tianhu during the holiday, with cars lining up one after another. Just queuing to enter the park took more than twenty minutes.

After entering the scenic area, there were people everywhere holding cameras, taking pictures to check in.

Most of them were on family trips, carrying tents and various camping equipment, choosing a picturesque lawn to “set up camp,” securing a spot.

Gu Ji and his group didn’t bring much luggage or equipment because the camping commercialization in Tianhu was already very mature.

The campsites in the scenic area allow the rental of tents and even RVs.

The group finally chose the best scenic spot at the hillside of Tianhu Mountain, where they could hike into the mountains or enjoy the lake view of Tianhu below.

So Gu Ji parked the car at a nearby parking lot.

Gao Bo and Zhou Yang went to rent camping equipment from the merchants.

“There’s really a lot of people…”

Chen Zhiyu looked around at the dazzling tourists and exclaimed.

At that moment, Gao Bo came from behind and shouted, “Don’t worry, I just asked the boss, we don’t have to camp here, the hillside area is all their campsite, so we can choose a quieter place then.”

Just as he was speaking, Gu Ji suddenly frowned because he saw a man wandering near a family setting up camp, wearing a black hoodie and a black baseball cap, shifty-eyed, occasionally glancing around.

Liu Weijun also sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough.

The man with the baseball cap saw that no passersby were paying attention and started approaching the family setting up the tent again. Taking advantage of their lack of vigilance, he pretended to look for something as a cover and quickly reached out his right hand, instantly grabbing the phone placed on the dining table and stuffing it into his pocket.

“Stop right there!”

Suddenly, a shout rang out, attracting the attention of many tourists around.

It turned out Wu Kang also noticed the suspicious actions of the man with the black hat, rushed over with a stride, and grabbed his wrist.

The man with the black hat panicked on the spot.

“What are you doing? Let go! Or I’ll call the police!”

“Great, I won’t have to make the call then!”

Wu Kang confidently increased his grip, using joint lock techniques to pull the man with the black hat’s wrist out of his pocket, exposing the stolen phone as well.

“Oh no! My phone!”

The man setting up the tent took a closer look and hastily snatched back the phone.

“So he was a thief!”

“Great job, young man! Truly a hero!”

“Bravo!”

…

The surrounding tourists applauded, and Wu Kang seemed to enjoy the feeling, although his expression did not change much, the sparkle in his eyes had long betrayed his inner excitement.

At this point, an unassuming middle-aged couple came over to chat:

“Young man, your skills are impressive, are you a cop?”

“Yes, I’m a special police officer.”

Wu Kang said proudly.

The middle-aged man immediately gave a thumbs up and praised, “Impressive, so you are on undercover duty at Tianhu Mountain, protecting the citizens, ha ha ha…”

“Not exactly, uncle, I am from another…”

“Wu Kang, stop meddling, quickly call the police, let the Tianhu Scenic Area officers handle it, we are still in a hurry to pitch our tent!”

Before Wu Kang could finish his sentence, Zeng Dan suddenly stepped up and interrupted, naturally holding onto his sleeve.

Although they knew each other, Wu Kang and Zeng Dan were not in the same car, essentially just having lunch together at noon, so faced with the sudden enthusiasm, he was somewhat stunned and blushing.

Seeing this, Zeng Dan pouted, shaking his arm while using a coquettish tone:

“Hurry up~”

“Ah, okay…”

Wu Kang hurriedly took out his phone to call the local police station.

The middle-aged man awkwardly chuckled aside, while his wife politely greeted Zeng Dan.

Gao Bo was also taken aback by Zeng Dan’s change; he really couldn’t understand how Wu Kang, who hadn’t spoken much to Zeng Dan along the way, suddenly became so familiar?

But when Gu Ji tugged at him, he held back from speaking.

In no time, a police car arrived on the scene, and two officers got out, one responsible for escorting the thief, the other taking a brief statement from Wu Kang.

Once everything was settled, Zeng Dan pulled Wu Kang over, saying, “Let’s go, we should find a place before it gets dark…”

Thus, Wu Kang, half-ignorant and half-agreeable, was led away by Zeng Dan from the public camping area.

Seeing the surrounding tourists dwindling, Zeng Dan glanced back with the corner of her eye, finally releasing Wu Kang’s arm: “Sorry, I was pulling you into a little act just now.”

“What’s actually going on? Dan, did you spot our target suspect?”

Gao Bo looked around cautiously and asked in a low voice when he saw no one was around.

Zeng Dan looked back in the direction of the public camping area, her expression suddenly becoming very serious.

“Not exactly, it just felt like the middle-aged couple who approached Wu Kang were very suspicious. You can’t deny that getting over-familiar is a human instinct, and many people are naturally friendly, yet ordinary people have a limit, they express themselves without causing disgust, but that couple was a bit too much.”

“After knowing Wu Kang’s identity as a special police officer, they still inquired about sensitive topics like undercover duty. If I hadn’t stopped them quickly, the next step might have been to ask about Wu Kang’s work unit or even some confidential information!”

What!?

Zhou Yang’s girlfriend and her friend widened their eyes.

“Dan, you mean that couple are spies?”

“It’s possible.”

“Wow, we couldn’t tell at all, just an ordinary middle-aged couple, unexpected…”

“Spies often hide in our lives as ordinary people.”

Chen Zhiyu added from the side, “Those all-around spies in movies are rare because spies are not professional combat personnel; their job is to gather intelligence, so their communication skills far exceed their combat skills.”

“Once a spy targets you, he and his team will find all kinds of opportunities to create so-called ‘accidental encounters.’ Some seemingly unintended things have many tricks behind them. When you encounter someone particularly friendly, and keen on government agencies, public security, and military interests, you must be extra cautious, especially if they repeatedly engineer ‘coincidences’ with you, then the person is almost 90% likely to be a spy.”

“Oh my god…”

The two female companions covered their mouths, a look of discovering a new world on their faces.

It was then that Gao Bo came to his senses, turned to look at Gu Ji, and said, “Damn, so when you first hinted at me, you had already sensed something was wrong?”

Gu Ji nodded.

Zeng Dan gave him a meaningful look and chuckled:

“I’m surprised your detective skills are so strong. Being in the special police might be a bit of a waste, why not join the national security bureau and help us…”
