Chapter 170: Excellent
"S-What?"
Lin Li looked obviously flustered.
"You're not just bored and want to pick a fight with me, are you?"
"No, no?"
"It's not that I can't! It's that you can't!"
Su Tong glanced at Lin Li and said:
"Lin Li, your expression shows your true feelings. You have been hesitant to speak for several times in the past few days, and you have been staring at me for a long time for no reason. You are not attracted to me, are you?"
"How can that be possible?"
Lin Li jumped up from the ground excitedly.
Su Tong folded his arms and looked at him with a half-smile, "Is it related to Ma Liu's case?"
Lin Li paused, scratched the back of his head, and finally let out a long sigh.
"Ah! You'll guess it sooner or later anyway! You, you have to make it clear in front of the boss that you guessed it yourself! Don't say that I told you!"
"Did Ma Liu make a request to you? He asked me to go on a mission with you?"
Lin Li's eyes widened immediately, and his lips trembled a little:
"How did you know? The boss didn't come! There's no phone number in the village. Even Zhou Jin doesn't know how you knew..."
"Is it hard to guess?"
Su Tong laughed, "Political Commissar Liu was in a hurry to send me back, so I guessed that there must be something that involved me. He didn't want me to get involved, otherwise he would have let me meet Dongdong."
"You've been gloomy since you came back this time. You want to hide when you see me. The last time you were worried about Dr. Hu, you didn't look like this. You're afraid that you might let it slip to me. I'm afraid you'll get sick."
Lin Li was like a deflated ball, "So you've already seen it...
Xiang Xiang added, "That's not right! Then how did you know that Ma Liu made the request, or that we were going to carry out the mission together?"
"I didn't know that at first. You just proposed to fight me, and this is the only possibility I can think of."
Su Tong said: "You tested my skills to find out if I have to go on a mission with you guys, do I have the ability to protect myself?"
Lin Li gave Su Tong a thumbs up, "Awesome! You are really awesome! No wonder Zhou Jin begged to call you sister! I want to call you sister too!"
"Did Ma Liu make this request after hearing that sentence? The sentence that the guy who kidnapped Hu Ling said?"
Lin Li's face showed shock again and he blinked hard, as if he couldn't believe it.
Su Tong knew that he was right again. He glanced at Lin Li with some disdain and said:
"Do you have to have that expression? I'm just inferring based on the time. The hijacking incident itself is very likely related to the Ma Liu case. Only one or two hours after it happened, they were in a hurry to send me away. It can only be that the words that the black guy said had an impact on Ma Liu..."
"As for the impact..." Su Tong pondered for a moment.
The swallow's wings are broken and it can hardly fly.
The words that the black boy said had been lingering in her mind, and now it was easy to deduce.
"Could it be that the person who is most important to Ma Liu is called Yan Zi?"
Lin Li opened his mouth and stared, not knowing what expression to use to face Su Tong. Finally, he imitated the ancients, raised his hands, and bowed 90 degrees to Su Tong.
"Sis! From today on, you are my real sister! I will be your little brother! Besides the boss, you are the person I admire the most!"
Su Tong said, "Tsk, this won't work! I finally got a little brother, but there's still a big boss standing in the way."
Since Su Tong had already guessed it almost right, there was no need for Lin Li to hide it any longer.
The current situation is that Ma Liu strongly demands that Su Tong must accompany the Xiaoya Village group, otherwise he will not leave.
He also revealed that there were some key details in the itinerary that required his involvement, and if his proposal was not met, he would rather die than cooperate.
The provincial police, represented by Qin Yi, and their superiors were all opposed.
First, this mission was extremely dangerous, and the participants could be sacrificed at any time. To put it bluntly, before departure, they were required to write a suicide note according to the battlefield procedure. Su Tong was an innocent girl, and a girl in a miserable situation. How could she be dragged into this and put in such danger?
Second, the confidentiality of this mission is extremely high. The team members have been repeatedly screened, and only the elites among the elites have been selected. Their abilities and identities have been strictly examined. If a rural group that has never received professional training and lacks organization and discipline suddenly joins the team, the risk will be too great and emergencies will easily occur, which will be irresponsible to the entire action team.
Third, as the criminal, Ma Liu has not been honest enough with the police. If the police cannot take the initiative from the beginning and do everything according to his wishes and act under his coercion, they will be even more passive in the future, which will be even more detrimental to the completion of the mission.
Leaders at all levels in charge of this case held repeated meetings to study the issue, but Ma Liu's attitude was unexpectedly firm, and he was willing to threaten his life again and again!
Don't give in to this request!
Psychologists have been counseling and negotiating with him for several days, with little success.
"If Ma Liu doesn't give in in the end, what are you going to do?"
"We will go on our own, without Ma Liu." Lin Li said solemnly.
"Of course, this is the worst possible outcome. The boss and his friends are still trying to come up with a solution these days."
"So what do you think?" Su Tong asked.
"I listen to the boss!"
"May I ask what you think?"
Lin Li was silent for a while, then he looked up at Su Tong seriously and said:
"To be honest, I think you have the ability to join us in this mission. You have a quick mind. If nothing else, your reasoning and predictive abilities are better than any of us.
I tested your skills today and found that you are so amazing. Although you are weak in strength, your quick attacks and new moves can make up for this deficiency. If it weren't for the physical problem, I might not be able to beat you.
You don't know that my fighting skills are better than those of Cheng Gang and the others in the team, except for Zhao Xin. And even Zhao Xin probably can't withstand a stab from your silver needle."
After saying that, Lin Li hurriedly added:
"It's not that I don't consider your safety, but I think you really have the ability to participate in this mission! I disliked Hu Ling before because I really thought that Hu Ling would hold us back and make us have to distract ourselves to take care of her. But the team needs her, and she is determined and ready to sacrifice, so I can't say much. But if it were you who participated, I wouldn't think so. I think you would only make us more powerful!"
What Lin Li didn’t finish saying was that the silver needles that Su Tong was using now were the ones he had personally bought for the boss when the experts from “above” performed surgery on Ma Liu.
At that time, he didn't understand why the old man gave the silver needle to Su Tong. It was only later, when he knew that Su Tong was skilled in medicine, that he realized it belatedly - the "expert" who came up at that time was most likely Su Tong in front of him.
In addition to her outstanding mind and skills, she should also have outstanding medical skills.
A very good one.
