The bus to Jinan had been going for a while, and the bus to Xuzhou started calling on everyone to get on board.

It was 8:20 and there were still 10 minutes before leaving.

Su Bai and Wan Qili let go of each other. Wan Qili also cried, but not as loudly as Su Bai.

Zi Yan, who was standing beside, also shed tears.

Only Xu Tianyi did not cry. He clenched his fists and said to Wan Qili that after Su Bai was completely safe, he asked Wan Qili to introduce him to the Military Control Commission and fight alongside her.

"Am I qualified?"

"Of course!" Wan Qili was very sure: "You are good at fighting and shooting, I can't wait to see you!"

Zi Yan asked, "After you join the Military Control Commission, can you let Brother Tianyi be your bodyguard?"

She was insulting Xu Tianyi, and saying that at this time was indeed a bit of a letdown.

"Why are you getting worse and worse?" Wan Qili heard it and pushed Zi Yan with a smile: "Hurry up and get in the car. I'll deal with you next time we meet!"

Su Bai whispered to Wan Qili, "Remember, the day the Japanese army lands in Hangzhou Bay is the day Shanghai falls. Evacuate to the French Concession as soon as possible."

Wan Qili blinked, not understanding Su Bai's confusing words.

"Remember, remember!"

Wan Qili nodded instinctively and woodenly.

Only after getting on the bus did I realize that the so-called 8:30 departure time was only the last reserved time for passengers who had purchased tickets. If you didn't get on the bus before 8:30 and your seat was taken by someone else, you deserved it.

After the passengers with seats are seated, their tickets will be checked. After the tickets are checked, those who have bought tickets without seats will start to have their tickets checked and get on the bus.

Within a few minutes, the car was packed with people, who were standing close to each other and stepping on each other, and there were constant quarrels because of being squeezed or stepped on.

Xu Tianyi and Su Bai exchanged seats, with him sitting in the middle of the three people, so that people in the aisle wouldn't be able to step on Su Bai.

Because I got on the bus a little late, the several suitcases that I had originally intended to put on the luggage rack to reserve seats after boarding the bus were now in my arms because the luggage rack was already full.

I suffered a loss because I had no travel experience.

Apart from the rear windshield and the small windows on both sides of the rear row, there is almost no view forward, and the only thing you can see is a few people squeezed near the back row.

At 8:50, the car finally started amid the noise and bustle that was still going on. Su Bai waved goodbye to Wan Qili outside the car through the window with tears in his eyes.

If the farewell to Han Xiaoxiao was mostly sad, the farewell to Wan Qili had a hint of tragedy.

The dust stirred up by the wheels covered everything, and Wan Qili was completely hidden behind the yellow dust.

The conflicts in the car gradually subsided, and were replaced by gossip and banter. Perhaps this is a way to eliminate the boredom of a long journey.

According to the flight attendant, the flight should arrive in Xuzhou around 4 pm.

The journey of about 650 li takes more than nine hours, with an average speed of less than 9 kilometers per hour.

Nowadays, these cars, these road conditions...are basically the same.

Su Bai wiped away her tears, closed her eyes and prepared to take a nap. Xu Tianyi whispered in her ear, "There is a car following us. Could it be that Lili forgot to tell us something and caught up with us?"

When Su Bai heard this, he lost all desire to sleep.

She didn't have time to scold Xu Tianyi for being stupid. Wan Qili's car was still on the south bank of the Yangtze River. How could she possibly catch up?

Even if she forgot something and took a boat back to Xiaguan, and then drove to the ferry to cross the river, no matter how slowly the car was driving, it would be impossible for Wan Qili to catch up with the car in less than two hours.

If it’s not Wan Qili, then who is it?

Su Bai looked back and saw a black car following the bus not too far behind through the rear windshield which had not been cleaned for who knows how long and had almost become translucent glass.

"Let's not sleep anymore and stay alert." Su Bai couldn't be sure that this car had anything to do with him. The road belonged to the country and anyone could use it.

You can't just suspect that a car is targeting you when you see it, right?

But there's nothing wrong with being careful.

At this time, Zi Yan was very sensible and took the suitcase from Xu Tianyi's arms, relaxing Xu Tianyi's grip so that his hands were free.

She and Su Bai both understood that if a fight broke out unexpectedly, even if the combined strength of her and Su Bai was several times greater, they would still not be able to defeat Xu Tianyi alone.

Xu Tianyi told Su Bai to sleep peacefully, as there were only a few people that could sit in a car, which was not enough for him to fill his stomach.

"Don't be so arrogant." Su Bai only said four words.

"Another one is coming!" Xu Tianyi shouted again.

Su Bai looked back and sure enough, another brown and white car appeared behind the black car.

The brown and white car was driving very fast. It soon overtook the black car and soon overtook the bus that Su Bai was riding in.

The two cars were not from the same group, so it was a false alarm.

Gradually, Su Bai got used to the bumps of the car and the interweaving of various accents in the car. The car behind him was still following him slowly and not too far away. An hour passed and nothing happened.

Su Bai felt that he was overly nervous again. In such road conditions, even if the car was driving fast, it would still feel bumpy. Maybe the other person was not in a hurry and was willing to drive at a moderate speed.

It moves at the same snail's pace as a bus, but there is no sense of bumps when sitting in a car.

If we drive slower, the car will be more comfortable. Maybe there are elderly people or pregnant women in the car? They can't stand the high speed.

Su Bai relaxed his vigilance and fell asleep unknowingly as the car swayed...

"Miss, Miss!" Zi Yan leaned over from Xu Tianyi and gently pushed Su Bai.

Su Bai opened his sleepy eyes: "What's wrong?"

"Selling pressed duck!" Although Zi Yan's voice was soft, the people standing next to her could hear it clearly because they were almost crowded in the car.

One of them laughed and said, "Maybe this lady hasn't had enough of Nanjing pressed duck?"

Another person said: "Rich people can afford pressed duck!"

The man said again: "He must be rich, because his ticket is three times more expensive than yours and mine!"

When Su Bai heard about the man selling pressed duck, all his sleepiness disappeared and he sat up straight.

Zi Yan pointed ahead and said, "The car turned sharply just now, and everyone was shaken..."

Su Bai understood, and with the inertia, the change in vision and sight allowed Zi Yan to see the Japanese spy in front of her who used to sell pressed duck opposite the Xinglong Restaurant.

"Are you sure?" Everyone was shaking for only a few seconds at most, and Su Bai wanted to confirm whether Zi Yan had seen it wrong.

Zi Yan nodded very affirmatively.

Not only did Su Bai suddenly become alert, his heart also tensed up.

From this point of view, the car following behind is most likely Wang Shuan’s.

There are people inside the car and outside the car. Does this count as inside and outside cooperation?

This bastard, he might have sent someone to follow me a long time ago.

He knew that he had bought a ticket to Xuzhou today and sent someone on the train.

How did he know?

There was no time to think about these issues now.

How to deal with it is the top priority.

Another critical moment, a crisis that may be insurmountable.
