Chapter 500: Chapter 500 Deputy Governor Tao is Very Worried

Ji Yang and the others didn’t know that at this time, Deputy Governor Tao Guangming appeared very worried. Some of the people sent out had already retreated, having been ambushed on their way and even a few had died.

Now, there were several teams with whom all contact had been lost.

Tao Guangming had not anticipated the whole situation to be so dangerous. He thought that even if there were any problems in Myanmar, the armed forces would not offend Hua Country once they saw its flag. However, things did not proceed as he had expected, and real trouble had arisen.

Now, even if he wanted those people to withdraw, it was no longer possible. He didn’t know how many more would die here.

If too many died, he, the team leader, would not be spared the consequences.

At that moment, Ji Yang’s phone call came through.

"Ji Yang, how are things on your end?" Tao Guangming asked loudly as soon as the call connected.

"Deputy Governor Tao, we’ve had a vehicle fall off a cliff after a tire blew out. Now, we’re only escorted by half a military unit. Everyone has different opinions about whether we should continue on. So, I made this call to specifically request, should we still proceed?"

Upon hearing that only their people had died and they hadn’t encountered other forces, Tao Guangming’s mind eased a little.

"Return immediately, do not proceed for now."

"Alright."

After the call, Ji Yang turned to the others and said, "Deputy Governor Tao has instructed us to return immediately."

Instantly, a sense of relief shone on everyone’s faces.

They had been put through enough on this journey and had actually not planned to proceed anyway.

Ji Yang went over to the escort personnel and conveyed the decision to them.

Clearly, the escort staff were also pleased with this decision, with most nodding in agreement, although two of them looked like they wanted to say something but restrained themselves.

As the vehicle turned around to head back, one of the Myanmar escort said, "I’ve got a stomachache. Need to relieve myself."

Ji Yang smiled and said, "Everyone who needs a quick break should go now."

And with that, everybody went to take care of their needs.

Ji Yang noticed one of them walk behind a small hill, and he stealthily followed.

Indeed, Ji Yang saw the person take out a satellite phone.

And he even had a satellite phone!

The man was obviously trying to report the situation here.

Not wanting any trouble, Ji Yang wouldn’t mind helping him on his way since he seemed up to something.

With a thought, Ji Yang’s hand now held a shard of rock.

Using it like a throwing dart, Ji Yang hit an acupoint near the man’s foot.

Although not forcefully thrown, it was enough to make the man lose his balance.

As expected, a scream ensued, and then the man tumbled down.

"Who’s there?"

People nearby, hearing the noise, called out.

Ji Yang likewise shouted and approached.

Several guards rushed over.

After throwing the rock, Ji Yang swiftly moved to another direction, then pretending to have just emerged, he shouted and ran towards the scene.

Soon, everyone gathered where the man was.

Hearing the shouts, Ji Yang pointed to the man and asked, "Was he making a phone call?"

As soon as Ji Yang spoke, all eyes turned to the cell phone still clenched in the man’s hand.

"Satellite phone!"

The escort personnel’s eyes widened.

Ji Yang said, "You also have a satellite phone, why didn’t you make a call just now?"

After Ji Yang’s words were translated, some of the guards seemed to realize something; one quickly snatched the phone.

Checking it, the expressions of the guards changed.

They debated among themselves for a while and then bound the fallen man.

Looking at another person with ill intent, his face turned ugly, but he showed no other reaction.
