Commander's Decision

After getting off the car, there were still guards everywhere.

Cha Yifeng, the first to jump off the car, quickly headed straight for the restroom.

His hurried, leg-clasping walk made him look exactly like a classmate who had been holding it for too long and was about to relieve himself on the spot.

There were quite a few classmates who looked similar.

Everything seemed perfectly normal.

But Xu Tui knew something was wrong.

Cha Yifeng had already gone to the restroom three hours ago.

And in the three hours since then, according to Xu Tui's observation, Cha Yifeng had barely drunk any water, only occasionally moistening his lips with bottled water, and hadn't eaten anything.

Of course, it was also possible that this Teacher Cha's "thing" was just very refined.

Individually, these things were not problematic.

But when combined with Xu Tui's previous findings, the suspicious circumstances surrounding Cha Yifeng were significant.

It was precisely because he had confirmed these suspicions that Xu Tui didn't dare to follow too closely.

If Cha Yifeng really had something to hide, it would be bad if he noticed Xu Tui.

Cha Yifeng walked very fast, his legs clasped, and he rushed into the restroom among the first wave of people to get off the car.

Xu Tui quickly followed.

As soon as he entered the restroom, Xu Tui saw Cha Yifeng had already turned into the large stall at the very back.

He was really fast.

Glancing around as he walked, Xu Tui casually turned into another large stall.

This stall was separated by only one stall from the one Cha Yifeng was in.

Enduring the odor, Xu Tui exhaled softly, his mental power highly concentrated. In an instant, the situation in the large stall two meters away reappeared in Xu Tui's mind.

Xu Tui saw that Cha Yifeng had just put something into his mouth again.

He chewed it a couple of times.

Xu Tui was stunned. The guy's movements were too fast; he only saw what was happening right in front of him.

He was eating in a large stall again.

This wasn't just weird; it was definitely suspicious!

Without using the toilet, and only letting out a tiny bit of water, Cha Yifeng left the restroom.

After scanning the area with his mental induction, Xu Tui found no anomalies in the large stall where Cha Yifeng had been.

After Cha Yifeng walked further away, Xu Tui backed out and directly entered the large stall Cha Yifeng had used, examining it simultaneously with his eyes and mental power.

He found nothing.

Ten seconds later, Xu Tui walked out of the restroom with a puzzled expression.

In the distance, Cha Yifeng was holding a boxed meal and eating heartily.

When Xu Tui found Cheng Mo, the guy already had five empty lunchboxes in front of him.

Only He Mingxuan, who had just changed his clothes and shoes and came over to eat, quickly moved a little further away from Xu Tui when he saw him.

He had a look of resentment on his face!

Distractedly picking at his food, Xu Tui kept glancing towards the direction of the escort command vehicle.

Xu Tui was considering whether he should report this unusual finding to the commander of the escort troops.

After thinking for a long time, Xu Tui decided that safety was paramount.

He quickly finished his boxed meal and walked directly towards the nearby escort command vehicle.

However, before he could get close, he was stopped by the guards on duty.

"Classmate, we are currently under wartime regulations. Do not run around, and do not look around unnecessarily," the guard reminded him.

"I've discovered a special situation and wish to report it to the commander."

"A special situation?"

"What special situation?"

"I want to see the commander of the escort troops," Xu Tui said firmly.

The guard thought for a moment and then reported the matter through the military channel.

Soon, a captain jogged over.

"The commander is very busy right now and doesn't have time to see you. If you have an urgent situation to report, you can tell me, and I will relay it for you. You can also write it down, and I will pass it on to the commander," the captain said.

After thinking about it, Xu Tui didn't insist further and nodded.

"I'll write it down."

Xu Tui felt that if he directly said the accompanying teacher was chewing and eating in the restroom, the captain might take it as a joke.

1. At both supply points, the accompanying teacher, Cha Yifeng, went to the restroom to defecate. When he came out, he seemed to be stuffing something into his mouth and chewing. 2. The accompanying teacher, Cha Yifeng, barely drank water or ate, yet he kept going to the restroom to defecate. 3. The accompanying teacher, Cha Yifeng, seemed a bit nervous.

After writing, Xu Tui looked at the three points he had listed and suddenly doubted himself.

Was he being overly sensitive?

This looked more like a cold joke than any significant intelligence.

Despite his thoughts, Xu Tui still handed the note up.

The captain glanced at it, then at Xu Tui, and his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Is this kid trying to be funny?"

However, out of duty, he nodded and said, "I will forward the intelligence to the commander. If further investigation is needed, we will contact you separately."

"Okay, thank you."

Xu Tui left politely and casually grabbed a box of lunch, wolfing it down before boarding the vehicle.

As he was boarding, Cha Yifeng, who was counting people at the door, suddenly stopped Xu Tui.

"Xu Tui, what kind of nonsense are you up to now? What were you doing with the escort troops?" Clearly, Cha Yifeng had noticed Xu Tui's unusual behavior.

"Nothing, I just felt the direction was a bit off, not like we were heading to Xi'an Prefecture. I casually asked them, and they asked me to register."

Xu Tui had indeed invested well in the "lying" skill tree; the falsehoods came to him effortlessly.

"Let me remind you, we are currently operating under wartime regulations. Ask less, mess around less. Don't cause trouble for me," Cha Yifeng warned Xu Tui.

Xu Tui bared his teeth.

Just as he was about to board, his heart suddenly stirred, and his mental power instantly became highly concentrated.

"Teacher Cha, how many boxes of lunch did you just eat?"

"What?" Cha Yifeng was stunned, his mouth slightly agape.

The moment Cha Yifeng's mouth opened, Xu Tui understood the situation inside.

Xu Tui's Mental Induction currently could not penetrate the human body.

In simple terms, when Cha Yifeng closed his mouth, Xu Tui couldn't see what was inside.

But when Cha Yifeng opened his mouth, that was no longer a problem.

Just now, Xu Tui had discovered.

Cha Yifeng had two false teeth in his mouth.

One on the top and one on the bottom, perfectly aligned.

The material was very special.

It wasn't the common porcelain teeth, nor gold teeth, nor alloy teeth, nor resin teeth. It was an unknown material that Xu Tui had never seen in life or in textbooks.

Xu Tui wondered if adding this detail to his report note might attract the commander's attention.

Unfortunately, the convoy was about to depart. Xu Tui looked out the car window but didn't see anyone from the escort team approaching.

"Maybe they haven't seen it yet."

Xu Tui comforted himself.

Inside the temporary mobile command post.

Although Xu Tui's reported intelligence was amusing, the captain faithfully handed the note to his superior.

"Report, the accompanying teacher from vehicle number three has been observed acting suspiciously by a student, who has reported the situation to us."

Colonel Liu Tianhu, who was looking at an electronic map, looked up, took the note, and scanned it. His eyebrows raised, and he was about to get angry.

However, the mention of "vehicle number three" ultimately stopped Liu Tianhu from getting angry. Instead, he directly tossed the note to an intelligence staff officer beside him.

"Check the accompanying teacher from vehicle number three, Cha Yifeng, and also check the basic situation of vehicle number three."

"Understood."

The intelligence staff officer immediately turned aside, and several staff officers began operating simultaneously, speeding up the review of the special surveillance video inside vehicle number three.

Although the ultra-low radiation particle generators had been activated in all transport vehicles, causing electronic components to power down and blocking signals, special communication and surveillance frequencies were still retained.

Everything was designed to make potential enemies blind and deaf.

But they themselves could not be blind or deaf!

A few minutes later, the intelligence staff officer reached a conclusion.

"This student started causing trouble as soon as he got on the bus, and was reprimanded by the accompanying teacher, Cha Yifeng, twice. He seems to be a bit of a troublemaker. My subordinate's assessment is that, firstly, this student is mentally tense, and secondly, he has a bit of a vengeful motive."

Additionally, Cha Yifeng has a clean record and military experience, having retired from an extraterrestrial battlefield. He was in a frontline unit."

Liu Tianhu nodded and continued to watch the footage from the geostationary satellites of the various escort teams.

So far, not a single team had encountered any trouble.

As long as they maintained this status and rendezvoused with the Ningyin Prefecture team, his mission would be considered a complete success.

He would earn merit!

"How should we handle this?

Should we summon this teacher and question him about eating in the restroom?" the intelligence staff officer asked cautiously.

"Handle it? Question him? Are you out of your mind?"

"If students report teachers like this, and we investigate every teacher, how can we possibly escort anyone?"

"Did you even read the content of the report?"

"Suspected of eating in the large stall, with chewing motions. I also move my jaw after using the large stall, does that mean I have a problem too?"

"Can't any of you use your brains? Am I supposed to lighten your workload?"

With a spittle-flying tirade, he berated the reporting captain and the intelligence staff officer until their faces were flushed red.

On Vehicle Three, the bus Xu Tui was on.

Since the commander hadn't paid attention to or questioned the situation, Xu Tui could only pray that he was being overly suspicious. At the same time, he secretly paid even closer attention to Cha Yifeng.

About forty minutes after the convoy had started moving, Xu Tui, who had been observing Cha Yifeng, suddenly noticed that Cha Yifeng's mental state, as perceived by his Mental Induction, had become extremely tense.

Under his Mental Induction, Xu Tui observed that the muscles in Cha Yifeng's jaw were trembling slightly.

This was likely caused by his teeth moving.

Xu Tui had experience with this.

"His upper and lower teeth are moving, on the right side. His two false teeth are on the right side. What is he trying to do?"

Upon realizing this, Xu Tui suddenly couldn't sit still.

He had to do something!

Yesterday, a classmate submitted something for the bonus chapter. Zhu San very dominantly picked it, and rumor has it they've already received their reward. Brothers who are interested can continue. I'll post them more slowly later to avoid affecting the reading experience.
