Chapter 158: Forcing Clues
Island Military Region.
Ever since Wang Tao exposed himself as a traitor last time, he has been strictly disciplined. Although the shot he shot did not kill him, his legs were disabled.
Walking with a limp.
Wang Tao's life was not easy. He was imprisoned in a small prison on the island, where most of the prisoners were traitors within the military region or people who had committed serious crimes.
Labor reform is carried out here every day, but there are no exceptions for being released for good performance, because these are criminals who can only use labor here to exchange for their survival for the rest of their lives.
It was late at night and Wang Tao was tired after a long day. He had just dragged the basin to the bathhouse to take a shower when he heard a peculiar bird call.
He would never forget the sound of birds chirping around him, even if he died. These sounds were clearly made by humans.
And when he was a traitor, he used this kind of sound to communicate with the other party in secret codes.
Wang Tao took a basin of water to look for the source of the sound, and suddenly walked to the corner of the prison. He tried to respond with bird calls.
Suddenly, he noticed a blurry figure climbing on the high wall above him.
Wang Tao was extremely excited. "Are you here to save me? The organization hasn't forgotten me yet, right?"
"Are you Wang Tao?"
Wang Tao nodded excitedly, "I am, I am Wang Tao."
About two minutes later, the enemy spies discussed it and threw down a rope. Wang Tao threw the basin aside and excitedly pulled the rope, letting the other party pull him up.
After he landed safely, Wang Tao was still excited because he knew that he had left the prison and finally gained his freedom.
However, not long after Wang Tao followed these people, a gun was pointed at his head, and Wang Tao's face turned pale in an instant.
"What are you doing? Even though I was imprisoned, I didn't say anything, let alone reveal anything about the organization."
The enemy agent snorted coldly. He came up to Wang Tao and asked fiercely, "Whether you reveal anything or not is none of my business. After all, I don't know whether you are telling the truth or not."
"I've gone to great lengths to get you out, so you must answer me honestly. Otherwise, I'll send you straight to hell tonight."
Wang Tao swallowed in fear. He knew that these enemy spies had no humanity. If he was not satisfied, he could die at their guns at any time.
If he had known this, he might as well have worked in that small prison, at least he could have saved his life.
"What do you want to ask? I'm sure I'll tell you everything I know, but can't you please not point this gun at me?"
The leading man winked at the man beside him, and he lowered his gun. Wang Tao swallowed, still feeling a lingering fear. "You won't kill me, will you?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Let me ask you, you've been on the island for so long. Have you found any clues about Su Jinhui's unusual abilities?"
"Last time, our people clearly saw her teleport. Could it be that you haven't investigated her internally?"
"We've checked Su Jinhui. She's indeed the daughter of a former capitalist, but she spent over a decade living in the countryside. How could she suddenly have such impressive medical skills after returning here? Does she have some hidden secret?"
Wang Tao looked embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell her, but he simply didn't know what secrets Su Jinhui had.
After Su Jinhui came to the military island, she did make the place very good, and her medical skills also saved many people. However, it cannot be said that Su Jinhui's behavior was really too abnormal. The only difference was that her medical skills were very powerful.
"I don't know about that. I only know that she likes to lock herself in the laboratory to research medicinal herbs. She might be a medical genius. Are you overthinking it?"
As a materialist, Wang Tao still didn't quite believe that such a thing could exist, so he wondered if these people were being too sensitive.
But it was obvious that the enemy agents did not particularly believe what Wang Tao said. "Take him away first. He has already seen us tonight. Even if we release him, it will inevitably reveal our whereabouts."
In this way, Wang Tao was tied up and taken away by enemy spies. He was trembling with fear, not knowing whether these people would kill him.
At the same time, Yan Li'an received a secret mission and needed to go to the border to deal with enemy infiltration.
After Su Jinhui learned the news, she specially made a first aid kit and tracking powder for him, and he also sewed these things into Yan Li'an's collar.
Before leaving, the two of them tacitly agreed on a secret code.
"Although I've never been to the border, I know it's the edge of our country's territory. There are definitely enemy spies from other countries there. You have to be careful and put your own safety first."
Ever since Su Jinhui chose to marry Yan Li'an, she had thought about this possibility.
As a family member of a soldier, Su Jinhui knew that Yan Li'an must have to carry out various tasks, and that he could not refuse them. This meant that Yan Li'an's safety was not always safe.
They had been married for less than a month when Yan Li'an had to go on a mission. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried.
Yan Li'an also noticed the worry in Su Jinhui's eyes. He placed his hands on Su Jinhui's shoulders and said comfortingly, "Don't worry. I told you there's no divorce in military marriages, only widowhood. But how could I bear to let the wife I worked so hard to marry become a widow and marry someone else? So I won't give other men this opportunity."
"Wait for me at home, but there may still be many spies in Kyoto. Although I have people guarding you, I am worried that you will get into trouble when I am not by your side, so you must protect yourself here."
The young couple looked at each other lovingly. Su Jinhui stood on tiptoe, put her hands on Yan Li'an's shoulders, and quickly kissed him on the cheek.
Yan Li'an's ears instantly turned red. "It was too fast. I didn't feel anything at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and gently pecked Su Jinhui on the lips.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and finish your task. Don't waste time. I'll be waiting for you at home."
Yan Li'an nodded reluctantly and left without looking back.
He was afraid that he would feel even more reluctant if he looked back.
After Yan Lian left, Su Jinhui went to the laboratory.
But as soon as she came in, she found something wrong. Although the things on her desk were always messy, they were arranged in the way she was used to.
But today some of the information was neatly arranged, which didn't seem like her own doing, because if she arranged everything neatly, it would actually take a certain amount of time and patience, and she had to conduct experiments and record all kinds of data every day, so it was impossible for her to organize them in an orderly manner.
Someone had been in her lab and rummaged through her things.
