Chapter 255 Disharmony
Ma Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Three years ago, Yan Zi was diagnosed with leukemia. Master Peng sent someone to find us and said that he was impressed by Yan Zi's ability and could have someone treat her, but Yan Zi had to work for him."
"Yanzi has been guarding the north for Master Peng, but this time she was suddenly taken south. I have been feeling uneasy. If it is related to 'Da Qi', I would feel more relieved. Yanzi's father has studied 'Da Qi' before. Master Peng needs Yanzi, so Yanzi would be safer!"
Su Tong remembered that Cheng Gang had mentioned that Meng Huzi's father was a professor of archaeology and was also kidnapped three years ago. Since Meng Huzi had also found this place, perhaps it was related to Master Peng...
It seems that Mr. Peng has been recruiting talents in this field for a long time. Could it be that this mission is really related to "Da Qi"?
Before Su Tong could figure it out, Qin Yi and others came in.
"Alan, get ready to go."
"Okay!" Su Tong responded and stood up to leave.
Ma Liu was anxious, "Girl?"
"Sorry! There is no definite information on this matter at the moment. I just wanted to ask." Su Tong looked at him and said.
Qin Yi looked around and said to Ma Liu, "Don't worry! If there is any news about Yan Zi, we will definitely tell you."
Su Tong went into the room to get her luggage, and Qin Yi followed her into the house.
When she put on her backpack and was about to go out, Qin Yi stopped her. He looked down at the girl in front of him and said softly:
"Don't avoid me, Su Tong!"
Su Tong did not raise his head, and replied in a low voice after a while:
"No! Brother Yi! I just feel a little confused and need to adjust myself."
The team set out at night and walked for half the night before finding a cave to camp.
According to what they learned in Qingshi Village, there are at least three groups of people eyeing them covetously, and it would be more dangerous to stay in the village.
After arranging the duty personnel, everyone fell asleep quickly.
When it was Lin Li and Zhou Jin's turn to be on duty, Su Tong came out.
"Lin Li, let's talk."
Zhou Jin looked at Su Tong, then at Lin Li, and consciously moved away.
"Tell me about your captain!" Su Tong said as expected.
Lin Li sighed secretly and honestly repeated what he had said to Zhou Jin.
After listening to this, Su Tong was silent for a long time.
Lin Li couldn't bear it, and racked his brains to think of something to say to ease the atmosphere...
At this time, Su Tong spoke.
"Lin Li, don't blame me for thinking too much in this situation. There are two things that I feel are a bit inconsistent..."
"Uh-huh...just ask, just ask!"
Lin Li was relieved that she was willing to speak.
"According to what you said, the girl had never met your captain before, right? She was just passing by the military area, and she wanted to recognize her relative, and the relative was a man she had broken off her engagement with. Isn't that... a bit unreasonable? Shouldn't the recognition of relatives be carried out in a more formal setting with the presence of the elders of both sides?"
Lin Li nodded, "It should be, but...but the girl just returned to Beijing last year. Mr. Qin felt that he owed her, so he arranged for her to study at Beijing University and let her be a student of the most famous Professor Zhai. Professor Zhai happened to be doing a project at the research institute next to the military region at that time. The girl is generous, thinking about the Qin family's kindness to her, and knowing that the captain is nearby, she proposed to meet...it is reasonable."
After listening to this, Su Tong frowned for a while and turned to ask the next question.
"The signalman couldn't contact the girl afterwards, but he knew the time and address she mentioned. Logically, the address she agreed to meet at wouldn't be too far from the military area, right? Didn't the signalman think of any remedial measures?"
Lin Li said: "We went to ask about this at the time. The signalman couldn't contact anyone, so he went to the park at the time the girl said, but he didn't see the girl. He waited for half a day before coming back. Later we found out that the park had two gates and they were separated by mistake."
Su Tong was silent again.
Lin Li sighed again, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said:
"I don't blame you for thinking too much. I also thought at the time... that girl's recognition of her relationship was an excuse. Maybe she just wanted to meet the captain. After all, the captain's conditions are so good. Maybe her family decided to cancel the engagement, and she had some idea of saving the country in a roundabout way...
Until - I finally met the girl's doctor, who told me... the criminal was very violent, and the girl was covered in wounds...
Regardless of whether she had some ulterior motives or not...it is a fact that she was hurt in the end."
Su Tong did not speak again. She looked at the dark forest in silence for a long time.
Then she stood up, said thank you to Lin Li, turned around and left.
Lin Li panicked, "Hey——"
Su Tong looked back at him with questioning eyes.
Lin Li looked at her black and white eyes, and for a moment he didn't know what to say...
"Um...you, you guys..."
Su Tong curved the corners of his lips, forced out a smile and said:
"Don't worry! Nothing happened between me and your captain!"
“Ah——” Lin Li’s voice sounded extremely disappointed, “Then…then he…”
"At the critical moment, he wanted to hurt himself with a dagger, but I knocked him out!" Su Tong said concisely.
"Then...then his body..."
"It's unclear whether there will be any sequelae! But, there was no better way at the time!"
Su Tong smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart. There was a better way, but he did not agree.
She understood his actions. No matter what the reason was, he was unwilling to make that choice because of the control of drugs...
He would rather hurt himself.
And for the first time, she saw clearly her own heart, and also saw clearly Qin Yi's heart, but at the same time... she also knew that there was still a difficult problem between them.
She doesn't know yet whether this problem has a solution.
She needs to think about it carefully.
Su Tong walked back to the cave step by step, very slowly.
Then, she saw Qin Yi standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at her intently.
"Brother Yi!"
Su Tong was a little surprised and at a loss, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.
Qin Yi gently pulled her to him and whispered, "Why don't you just ask me?"
Su Tong lowered his head: "I ask you, will the answer be different?"
"How would you know if you don't ask?"
"Isn't what Lin Li said true?"
"Yes! But what Lin Li knows... is not the whole picture!"
Su Tong raised her head and looked at Qin Yi. His eyes were looking straight at her. His eyes were bright and mixed with guilt, heartache and straightforward affection, and were full of thousands of words.
Her eyes were filled with tears in an instant.
Qin Yi panicked immediately and reached out to wipe her tears, but the girl's tears were like beads that had broken off the string and could not be wiped away.
"Don't cry! Don't cry! Are you sleepy now? If not, can we talk?"
Su Tong looked at him through hazy vision and nodded.
