Chapter 261 Comparison
Comrade Zhang Zili’s sacrifice made the atmosphere in the team even more solemn.
Qin Yi had a frosty look on his face and made deployment adjustments overnight.
The whereabouts of Professor Zhai and Lin Jiao must be found as soon as possible, rescue is imminent.
Since we received the news, the two have been missing for more than a week. The later the news is received, the lower the survival rate of the rescued people.
What's more, as a top physics expert in the country, Professor Zhai is responsible for several top-secret scientific research tasks, which are of great importance and cannot afford to make any mistakes.
Lin Jiao, a Peking University student, the Qin family’s benefactor, and Qin Yi’s... fiancée, although only in name only and although the engagement had been verbally cancelled, any of these identities would be extraordinary at the moment.
The team members became busier than ever before.
Not only because there is definite evidence in the missing case, but also because on the 25th day of the first lunar month, Qin Yi will lead the team into the mountains. Mr. Peng, who set up this big game, will never easily expose his hiding place to so many people. In order to avoid communication interruption at that time, as many arrangements as possible need to be made in advance.
There are still only three people who are not busy.
Su Tong, Ma Liu and Zhao Xin.
Although important information was consciously avoided by Ma Liu, Ma Liu was at least close by and could get a general idea of some things by listening to the voices.
Ma Liu was lying on the chair, bored. He looked at Su Tong, who was standing there with a cold face and in a daze, and kicked her chair with his legs...
"Hey, hey, what's wrong with you? Didn't you find out clearly in advance?"
Su Tong's chair trembled when he was kicked. He glanced at him coldly and said nothing.
"How come a fiancée suddenly appeared? That boy is not honest!"
Su Tong continued to be in a daze and ignored him.
"If you ask me, don't save him! Why save him? It will be so annoying later! I hate this kind of benefactor who doesn't do good. There are so many people in this world who ask for favors in return! With that guy's face, which woman would let him go! Not to mention, he has money! You! You are stupid! It's been such a long time since you got him, don't let the duck in your mouth..."
"I said Sixth Master——"
Seeing that Ma Liu was getting more and more ridiculous, Su Tong interrupted him and said:
"If you hadn't cried and begged me to come, I would be at home enjoying my peace and quiet! I'm fine now... but you blame me for everything and say all kinds of nonsense. You're old... but you still like to gossip!"
"Okay! I admit it! I was the one who cried and begged for you to come here! But you flirted with that boy all the way, it wasn't my fault! Everything was going well... and suddenly a woman showed up and interfered..."
“Stop—”
Su Tong interrupted him and looked around and said, "Sixth Master, can you speak more honestly? How... why are you flirting with each other? Why do these words have a different meaning when they come to you? How can people hear what you are saying!"
Ma Liu glared, looked around, and asked in a low voice:
"No way! You two... haven't broken the window paper yet? I told you that you were flirting with each other, but you didn't admit it. Tsk! This won't do! We have lived in the same house for so long, I thought you two had already..."
"Ma Xinglu——"
Su Tong's face turned red with embarrassment. Ma Liu's words were too careless, and there was also a huge Zhao Xin standing next to them!
If you don’t know, you would think... you would think they really have something!
Ma Liu was not used to being called by his full name all of a sudden! He scratched his ear and glanced back at Zhao Xin, only to find that Zhao Xin was waiting beside him with his eyes wide open and his ears pricked up!
Look at his attitude... he's even more curious than Ma Liu!
Nonsense! Who wouldn’t be curious about the captain’s “gossip”?
Su Tong also turned around to look at Zhao Xin. When she saw his expression, her face turned even redder and she hurriedly explained:
"Zhao Xin, don't listen to him. He's just talking nonsense!"
“Hey—hey—”
Ma Liu shouted, "It's fine if you don't admit it, but don't question my judgment! Forget about anything else, just look at the watch on your hand! That guy gave it to you, right?"
Ma Liu snorted coldly, "My Sixth Master has also seen the world! The Omega Seamaster series and the one that boy is wearing are a couple's pair. I've already noticed it!"
After these words came out, Su Tong was stunned!
She raised her arm and looked at the watch she was wearing. She always thought that the watch was beautiful and of good quality. It had been knocked around and soaked in water over the past period of time, but it still kept very accurate time.
Ma Liu saw her reaction and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk... I knew you didn't recognize it. How could a country girl like you recognize this foreign stuff? That guy probably wouldn't tell you! I'm not afraid of scaring you. The two of you can buy a house in Beijing with this pair of watches!"
Su Tong was a little confused. This watch was given to her by Qin Yi after she performed surgery on Ma Liu! She knew it was not cheap, but she didn't expect it to be so "not cheap"...
To say that at that time, Qin Yi treated her...
Su Tong recalled and shook his head. Impossible!
It was just that he wanted to thank her at that time, knew she needed a watch, and happened to have this watch, so he gave it to her.
In those days, you needed tickets to buy domestic watches, and they were often out of stock. It was even more difficult to buy imported watches. Not only did you need money, you also needed channels, not to mention that Lin Li gave it to her only one night later.
Now that I think about it, I am in trouble for having received such an expensive watch!
Ma Liu looked at Su Tong's expression and said, "What are you two doing? I've given you the gifts and brought you the couple's clothes. But the way that boy looks at you is so sexy. Look, his eyes are shining too..."
"When did my eyes light up!" Su Tong really couldn't stand Ma Liu's mouth.
“Look, look…” Ma Liu said with disdain, “You’re still trying to hide it and procrastinate! In the end, someone else gets the fruits! You’ll cry someday!”
Su Tong stood up with a "huh——" and, too lazy to argue with Ma Liu, went into the house.
On the other hand, Zhao Xin looked unsatisfied and regretful.
Qin Yi did not come back at night. Chen Yunfeng said that they and the scouts from Sichuan Province divided into several groups and went to the surrounding villages.
It was the third day in Xiaoya Village, the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month.
There were obviously more people in the village, conflicts of varying sizes occurred from time to time, and gunshots could occasionally be heard.
When the deadline for submission of the task arrives, there are always some people who can't bear it anymore and make a final struggle.
Apart from Su Tong and the other two, there was only Chen Yunfeng in the yard, who would go out from time to time to get news and come back to talk about it.
"As expected, the Black Hawk is here to hand in the mission! I heard that they set up an ambush in Hongwa Village last night and intercepted several waves of teams before they gathered all the pottery shards. This time, they have made a big enemy! I heard that many people want to join forces and find them to get back at them!"
"There's also a guy called Qi from Hunan Province. I heard he was born a bandit, and some of his gang has some weird kung fu skills! He came late, but he's got all the pottery shards!"
By the afternoon, there was no new news from Chen Yunfeng.
Su Tong thought about it. The Black Harriers from your province, Boss Qi from Hunan province, Uncle Ma from Shaanxi province, and "Brother Yi" from Henan province, four teams, not too many or too few. He wondered if this number was within the control of Uncle Peng?
If there are too few people, the power will not be enough; if there are too many people, the wealth will be less...
Uncle Peng seems to have everything under control. What is the purpose of his playing this big game?
