"A sniper was dispatched... could it be an assassination mission?"

Jiang Shiyuan's heart tightened and a chill rose on his back.

The Military Control Commission should be planning to take action against some important figure tonight, otherwise they would not have asked Houyi to take action.

So, could Fang Lansheng's mission also be related to this assassination?

In the plot of "The Lantern Bearer", it was only mentioned that Fang Lansheng would be shot while performing a mission tonight, but it did not say what specific mission he was performing.

Now it seems that she has to figure everything out on her own!

Jiang Shiyuan glanced at the clock on the wall and saw that the hands showed ten-fifteen.

There was still no movement from Fang Lansheng's side and the door remained closed.

But if he doesn't choose to go out through the main entrance, it's impossible that his martial arts skills are so high that he can jump out of the window on the tenth floor and then climb walls and run on roofs, right?

Just when Jiang Shiyuan was imagining the anti-Japanese war drama, with those peerless masters who could fly into the sky and tear the Japanese pirates apart with their bare hands, the door opposite suddenly opened!

Although Fang Lansheng tried his best to make his movements as light as possible, he was still caught by Jiang Shiyuan's sharp ears.

She rushed to the door and observed the movements outside through the peephole.

Fang Lansheng had changed into a set of grey coarse cloth clothes, a melon-shaped hat of the same colour on his head, and his face was carefully disguised, making him look like a weathered middle-aged labourer.

He lowered the brim of his hat and looked cautiously at both ends of the corridor.

After making sure that there was no one around, he quietly closed the door, crouched down and walked towards the emergency escape passage at the end of the corridor, preparing to go down to the first floor via the stairwell.

This escape passage leads directly to the small side door on the first floor of the Garden Hotel.

Walk out and go through a small alley, and you will reach the food street next to the Sacred Heart Hospital.

Jiang Shiyuan had already figured out the terrain of the entire hotel before choosing this place as the long-term private room.

She didn't have time to think about it, so she immediately ran to the window, raised the telescope, and anxiously searched for Fang Lansheng.

About fifteen minutes later, Fang Lansheng finally appeared in her sight.

I saw him getting a tattered sack from somewhere and starting to pick up waste in the snack street.

Fang Lansheng consciously hunched his back and coughed from time to time after walking a few steps.

The portrayal of a poor man bent over by life, picking up waste on the street in the middle of the night is so lifelike!

However, several military spies who were secretly monitoring the food street still stayed at their posts very professionally.

They seemed nonchalant, but in fact they were vigilantly observing any unusual movements around them.

One of them seemed to be the leader, a man with a burly build and a face full of flesh.

He was shaking his legs anxiously in front of the stall, smoking a cigarette, and rolling up his sleeves to look at the watch from time to time, estimating that the scheduled task time was almost up.

"Damn it, why haven't you come yet?"

The leading man muttered irritably, extinguished his cigarette with his foot, and spat.

Fang Lansheng was pulling a torn sack, walking and stopping along the way, seemingly picking up waste aimlessly, but in fact he was quietly investigating the surrounding environment.

Intentionally or unintentionally, he approached the group of Military Intelligence Bureau agents, bent down to pick up a rusty tin can, and deliberately wiped the dust off it with his sleeve.

"Hey, old man, get out of here and stop getting in the way!"

The leading man waved his hands impatiently, as if to shoo away a fly.

Fang Lansheng was not annoyed. He chuckled, deepened the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, nodded and bowed, and walked away pulling the sack.

He picked up waste and observed carefully along the way, and finally found himself under a wall near the side door of the backyard of the Sacred Heart Hospital.

Fang Lansheng bent down and shook out the waste materials from the torn sack, and began to sort them, while still looking around.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, as if he could see through everything.

And at this moment, it is already ten fifty-five.

Just then, a black Ford car slowly drove into Jiang Shiyuan's sight.

The car turned the corner and headed towards Sacred Heart Hospital.

The curtain of the car was half opened, and a Japanese ronin wearing a kimono and a small moustache stuck his head out and glanced at both sides of the street with a sinister look.

"This car seems to be heading for Sacred Heart Hospital..."

Jiang Shiyuan was shocked and immediately realized that the person in this car was not a simple person.

But the car did not stop at the main entrance of the hospital, but drove to the entrance of the snack street.

Now all the ordinary vendors have closed their stalls, only these few disguised as Military Intelligence Bureau agents are still there.

The snack street then seemed much more spacious, and the Ford car drove straight in.

Jiang Shiyuan's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

When the Military Intelligence Bureau agents on Snack Street saw the target vehicle, they also became alert.

The leading man even gestured to the team members and quietly reached his right hand into his waist.

On the hospital rooftop, Houyi instantly became alert and entered combat mode.

He adjusted his crawling position, aimed the sniper rifle's crosshairs at the black Ford car, and was ready to strike.

The Ford car slowly stopped not far from the side door of the backyard of the Sacred Heart Hospital adjacent to the snack street.

Two Japanese ronin got off the car first, and then they surrounded a middle-aged man in a black suit, with a thin face and a cane in his hand and got off the car.

"Inoue Rizhao!"

Jiang Shiyuan recognized the man at a glance. He was the villain boss in the early part of the drama "The Lantern Bearer", the ruthless Japanese spy chief.

It turns out that this is the target of the assassination mission of the Military Control Commission tonight!

Fang Lansheng's prediction was very accurate. He had long guessed that with Inoue Rizhao's suspicious and cautious character, he would definitely not go through the front door, so he ambushed at the small side door in advance.

He hid in the shadow at the foot of the wall, with a pile of waste around him, so it was really difficult for the other party to find him.

"This Fang Lansheng is really bold, careful, and has a keen eye for things!" Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but admire him secretly in his heart.

Then she was very confused: "It was clearly a very advantageous ambush position, but why did Fang Lansheng miss and get shot tonight?"

Inoue Rizhao had just gotten out of the car and walked forward about ten meters when gunshots suddenly rang out on both sides of the snack street.

"There's an ambush!" The two Japanese ronin beside Inoue Rizhao reacted very quickly, immediately drew their guns and fired back, while protecting Inoue Rizhao and running back to the Ford car.

"What are these Military Control Commission spies doing? How come they were exposed in advance?" Fang Lansheng, who was hiding in the dark, cursed inwardly, thinking that something was wrong.

"Fuck, which bastard fired first? I haven't even given the order yet!"

The leading man cursed and yelled at his men, "What are you all standing there for? Beat them up!"

The sudden gunshot also startled Jiang Shiyuan.

She never expected that the Military Control Commission would be so impatient and expose their target so quickly.

"These are a bunch of idiots. This is going to be difficult!" Fang Lansheng said angrily.

He knew that with Inoue Rizhao's cunningness, once he discovered the ambush, he would definitely choose to retreat immediately and would never approach the small side door again.

But the assassination operation must not be abandoned, and with Comrade "Yi Shuihan" assisting in secret, he must seize this precious opportunity.

So he risked being exposed and rushed out from the corner.

The flower-mouthed gun in his hand spewed out angry flames, accurately knocking down the two Japanese ronin.

"Baga!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Inoue Rizhao ran away without caring about his fallen men.

After being disguised, Fang Lansheng chased relentlessly, with the muzzle of his gun always firmly locked on Inoue Rizhao's back.

"Bang!" On the hospital rooftop, Houyi pulled the trigger almost at the same time.

A bullet, carrying the breath of death, whizzed towards Fang Lansheng's forehead.

As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole stalks behind.

What Jiang Shiyuan could not have imagined was that Hou Yi's target this time was not Inoue, but an underground party comrade who came to assassinate Inoue.

But in the blink of an eye, a bullet from another unknown direction landed at Fang Lansheng's feet at high speed, shocking him so much that he subconsciously took a step back.

So the bullet shot by Houyi missed and hit his arm.

Fang Lansheng immediately realized the presence of the sniper, let out a low cry of pain, covered his injured and bleeding arm, and quickly retreated back into the shadows.

"It was really dangerous just now. Could it be that Comrade Yi Shuihan helped me secretly?"

Fang Lansheng was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

He understood that if he had not subconsciously taken a step back, the bullet that had just missed his arm would have taken his life!

"Who is it?!" Houyi temporarily lost his shooting target and was shocked.

He didn't expect that besides himself, there were other snipers lurking in the dark around him.

So this talented sharpshooter relied on his intuition to quickly locate the position of the sniper who shot the warning bullet.

Then he immediately turned the gun around and fired a blind shot in that direction.

Seeing that his comrades were temporarily safe, Yi Shuihan turned in the darkness and aimed at Inoue Rizhao who was about to hide back in the car.

Unexpectedly, a cloud of blood mist suddenly burst out from his right shoulder and he was shot by the enemy sniper, making him unable to continue the assassination mission.

After confirming that Inoue Rizhao had already hidden back in the car and there was no possibility of killing him with one strike, Yi Shuihan gave up the fight and quickly evacuated the mission site.

At this moment, Jiang Shiyuan realized that Fang Lansheng had been shot, so she quickly picked up her pearl handbag and ran to the emergency escape passage at the end of the corridor...
