The man glared back at Li Ling defiantly and shouted, "What are you staring at me for? Huh? Look at me again and I'll teach you a lesson."
Li Ling continued to stare at him, and instead took another step forward. Li Ling was strong and well-proportioned, and looked very robust. He was full of masculine energy. Compared to him, the man was practically no different from a woman.
Seeing that the other party didn't take him seriously at all, the man's momentum immediately deflated, and he retreated repeatedly, his words becoming less fluent: "I...I'm telling you, stop looking!"
A cold glint flashed in Li Ling's eyes. He took another step forward, and the man was forced to retreat by his imposing aura. He felt a chill run down his spine, and a nameless fear gripped his heart. He dared not meet Li Ling's gaze again and turned to pull the woman aside.
Li Ling sensed that the woman's gaze was fixed on him, and he was secretly pleased. His initial goal had been achieved. If the subsequent plans went smoothly, he would be able to infiltrate the Ma family's drug trafficking group and behead Ma Yunfei in no time.
"Tongtong, let's go quickly! These are all barbarians."
Hearing this, Ma Qitong rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Go? How are we supposed to go? The nearest county town is still eighty kilometers away! Go by yourself if you want to."
The man repeatedly said, "Call a tow truck...call a tow truck!"
Is there a cell phone signal? How do I call a tow truck?
"Hey, how about I fix it for you? It's worth it." Li Ling stepped forward and spoke up.
Hearing this, Ma Qitong happily turned around and walked up to Li Ling, smiling, "Can you fix cars?"
Li Ling shrugged and said, "I used to run a car repair shop."
"This car has been repaired before?"
Li Ling's lips curled slightly: "It's just a Land Cruiser! I've repaired Hummers and Land Rovers, what's this?"
Ma Qitong was overjoyed upon hearing this: "That's wonderful!"
“Hey, hey, hey…” The man objected and quickly pulled Ma Qitong aside, saying, “Tongtong, you can’t let them fix it. You don’t even know who they are.”
Ma Qitong glared at him irritably and scolded, "Can you shut up?"
Li Ling and Chen Pai exchanged a smile, then looked at the man and said, "That's right, why are you talking so much nonsense? If we were bad people, given your attitude towards me just now, would you still be standing here?"
"If you say another word, I'll sew your mouth and exhaust pipe shut, you believe me?"
At this moment, Chen Pai chimed in, "Should we fix it or not? If not, forget it, let's go."
"Hey, don't go! Help me! I really don't know how to fix cars." Ma Qitong immediately became anxious upon seeing this, her tone carrying a hint of coquettishness, but her gaze remained fixed on Li Ling's face.
After saying that, he turned to Chen Pai and said, "Please."
Li Ling gestured to Chen Pai, who nodded almost imperceptibly, tilted his head, and said, "He's the leader, ask him."
Ma Qitong's gaze returned to Li Ling's face. She handed the pliers in her hands to Li Ling and said in a sweet voice, "Please, if you really know how to fix cars."
Li Ling raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course I can fix it."
After saying that, he took the travel bag off his back and handed it to Chen Pai, gesturing, "I'll fix the car, you watch the things."
The car doesn't have any major problems, except that the ignition coil is loose and has fallen off, so the spark plugs won't start the engine and the car naturally won't start.
After the car was repaired, Ma Qitong had a heated argument with the young man who claimed to be her fiancé, but in the end, she still brought Li Ling and Chen Pai along, and even Li Ling drove the car.
More than an hour later, it was already dark. The car drove to a business hotel as requested by Ma Qitong. Li Ling pretended to say goodbye, but Ma Qitong insisted that they stay. In the end, the two of them stayed, half-heartedly.
Ma Qitong even clung to Li Ling's arm without any hesitation, showing no regard for her so-called fiancé.
In the hotel room, Li Ling and Chen Pai discussed their action plan.
"Let's make our move tonight. They'll never expect that we can infiltrate the county so quickly and take down this logistics center, which is the Blue Army's logistical hub."
Chen Pai nodded upon hearing this and said, "Have you thought about how we'll get out after we're done?"
Li Ling smiled slightly and said, "This is very simple, isn't it because we have Tongtong?"
Chen Pai's eyes lit up: "You mean, try to persuade her to help us?"
Li Ling nodded and smiled, "That's right. This hotel is the most upscale hotel in the county. Our military exercises will never disrupt the normal order of the area, so this is the safest place."
"Tap tap tap..."
As the two were discussing the details of their operation, a knock came at the door, and they quickly put away the map that was spread out on the table.
Li Ling walked to the door and asked in a normal voice, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Tongtong."
"What's up?"
"May I come inside?"
Li Ling gave Chen Pai a wink, and only after Chen Pai put his pistol back on his waist did Li Ling open the door and invite Ma Qitong in.
"Hey, still not asleep?" Chen Pai looked at Ma Qitong with a half-smile and teased her.
“You guys aren’t asleep either! I… can I talk to A-Ling alone?” Ma Qitong asked Chen Pai, a little embarrassed.
Li Ling gave Ma Qitong her real name, but didn't mention Zhuang Yan.
Chen Pai glanced at Li Ling, twitched his lips, and said, "Alright, I'll go out first."
"Sit down!" Li Ling called out after Chen Pai left, then turned to close the door. But as he turned, Ma Qitong reached out from behind and touched his waist, just in time to find the pistol tucked into his waistband.
"What are you doing?" Li Ling frowned slightly and asked coldly.
"Who sent you?" Ma Qitong asked Li Ling without any fear, instead asking him confidently.
