Chapter 3087
Shao Tianhu's extraordinary vigilance came from the foreign mercenary group he was in before.
The recruitment conditions of the mercenary group are different from those of the Haihan regular army. They pay more attention to personal combat ability, and there is almost no threshold for personal background and experience. This makes the mercenary group full of thugs and villains from all walks of life, and there are even serious criminals who are wanted in other countries who join the mercenary group to seek asylum.
In this mixed environment, one cannot let down his guard at all. Even if Shao Tianhu is a senior military officer, he still has to be careful about someone coveting his position, and he needs to be on guard against all kinds of overt and covert attacks at all times.
Over time, this vigilance has become a habit for him. Even in a relatively safe environment like Sanya, he will still automatically remain vigilant to the outside world, thus feeling that someone is secretly peeping near the office. .
Shao Tianhu just arrived in Sanya today, and his whereabouts before that were military secrets. No one in the local area would know about his arrival in advance, so he thought that this kind of surveillance was unlikely to be aimed at him, but more like it was aimed at Tan Tianming. .
Tan Tianming was able to keep his composure, and without asking any more questions, he followed Shao Tianhu's words, got in the carriage and left the office as soon as it arrived.
Shao Tianhu and others returned to the courtyard and signaled everyone to be silent. They only opened the door ajar and looked through the crack in the door to see what was going on outside. It was probably the first time for the other people in the office to experience such a situation, and they didn't know what to do, so they could only take orders from Shao Tianhu first.
Sure enough, a rickshaw quickly drove out from the corner where the monitor was, following the direction Tan Tianming left.
Shao Tianhu sneered and was not in a hurry to follow him out. He turned to Li Gui and asked, "Is there another door in and out of this yard?"
Li Gui didn't know what he meant, but he responded honestly: "There is also a door in the backyard, which is usually locked."
Shao Tianhu said: "Go out of that gate as soon as possible, call two cars over, park outside the gate, and then come back the same way."
Li Gui responded without asking Shao Tianhu about his intentions, and just followed his instructions.
Lao Liao asked curiously: "Master Shao, are you planning to follow him later?"
Shao Tianhu nodded and said: "I asked Mr. Tan Er to circle around the office twice to confirm whether the other party is following him. If so, I will follow him in the car later."
Lao Liao asked: "Then why do you ask Li Guiduo to prepare a car?"
Shao Tianhu didn't show off, and patiently explained: "I'm not sure if there are still people outside watching the office. Having extra vehicles can divide the troops into two groups to confuse the other party, and it can also be used to confirm that the other party has deployed near us. How many people are there? If there are really many people watching us, we will probably have to find another way to deal with this matter."
Lao Wang coughed dryly and said: "Master Shao, before you came, nothing happened to the office. I hope that after you come, our place can continue to be peaceful."
Shao Tianhu heard the thorn in Lao Wang's words, but he didn't argue with him. He just smiled and said: "It's too unfair. I don't care what I say. Let's find out what's going on now!"
Not long after, the carriage Tan Tianming was riding in turned back and passed by the office door again. And the rickshaw from before was not too far behind.
Shao Tianhu saw clearly this time that there was a middle-aged man in black sitting on the rickshaw, but his face did not look like a Han.
At this time, Li Gui also came back. He said that he had called two rickshaws and paid for them in advance. He would be waiting at the office gate in a few moments.
When Tan Tianming's carriage turned back for the second time, the rickshaw still did not give up and continued to follow. This has undoubtedly verified Shao Tianhu's guess that he is indeed following Tan Tianming intentionally.
Shao Tianhu told Li Gui: "Follow me out, and we'll each take a car. I'll follow the car in front, and you go around the city for a while, and pay attention to see if anyone is following you." It was probably the first time for Li Gui to perform such a task, and he couldn't help but look a little nervous: "Then if... someone really follows me, how should I deal with it?"
Shao Tianhu said: "It doesn't matter. As long as you confirm that I am following you, then go back to the office and wait for my news."
Lao Liao also became nervous when he heard this, and asked quickly: "Master Shao, is there really any danger? How about... let's report it to the official first?"
Shao Tianhu said: "Don't act rashly first. Just stay here and don't go out, and don't let anyone come in. I'll talk about it when I get back after checking the situation."
After Shao Tianhu finished speaking, he took Li Gui out of the gate and left in two rickshaws already parked at the gate.
Lao Liao closed the door and turned around to see Lao Wang coming out of the woodshed, holding a hatchet in one hand and a wooden stick as thick as an arm in the other.
Old Liao said in shock: "What are you doing?"
Lao Wang said angrily: "Take it! He won't let us report to the official, so we have to take care of ourselves? If someone comes knocking on the door, there must be someone to defend ourselves!"
< br>
Lao Liao was dumbfounded when he heard this. Lao Wang was threatening Shao Tianhu with guns and sticks, but he still listened to his warning. It's just that the two of them are over a hundred years old together. If someone really comes to knock on the door, these preparations may not be very effective.
The current plan is to hope that Shao Tianhu will come back soon. Although this person had just arrived in the office not long ago, he seemed to have become the backbone of the place before he knew it.
Shao Tianhu was following the rickshaw in front of him unhurriedly. He specially asked the coachman to keep a relatively far distance to avoid being noticed by the other party.
The carriage Tan Tianming was riding in earlier made two extra turns around the area where the office was located. This might have aroused the other party's alert. Shao Tianhu did not want to be exposed too early and alert the enemy.
The distance from the office to the School of Administration where Tan Tianming studied was actually not that far. If Tan Tianming hadn't made two extra turns, he would have arrived by now.
Tan Tianming got out of the car at the entrance of the college and went in without looking back. The rickshaw following him also stopped not far away. The man in black paid the money and got out of the car. After looking around, he walked into a small teahouse nearby.
Shao Tianhu also got out of the car and followed all the way in. He saw that the man actually sat down to drink tea. It seemed that he would not leave for a while, and he had already roughly guessed the other person's intention.
This man watched Tan Tianming enter the Administrative Academy and still refused to leave. It was obvious that his mission was to keep an eye on Tan Tianming's movements. If Tan Tianming comes out later, he will definitely continue to follow.
However, his attention was focused on the entrance of the college, and he did not notice Shao Tianhu sneaking into the teahouse quietly.
Shao Tianhu found an empty seat behind him and sat down, patiently waiting for the other party's next move.
They waited until dark, and saw that the administrative college finally closed the door to prohibit entry and exit, and then the man stood up to pay and leave. Shao Tianhu threw the tea money on the table and hurried out.
