Chapter 270 Jiang Ying
She lowered her head and smiled, "I want to do the right thing, too. Besides, didn't you promise to help me look into my parents' affairs? I want to do my part while I can still move."
Su Tong said: "I understand what you mean, but if possible, I hope I can 'find the book' for you"!
Su Tong helped Wen Ying back to her room, and only then did she notice that Wen Ying's room was 3A.
Wen Ying pulled a thin rope at the head of the bed. Soon, a man dressed in Qiang costume came over. Wen Ying communicated with him and gestured for a while, then nodded and left.
Then he turned to Su Tong and said, "I've asked. Yang Qi and Yang Chengdu are not here today. I told them that I'm not feeling well and I want you to help me find some books. He went to say hello and will take you there in a while, but you can't stay too long."
Su Tong didn't have time to ask how Wen Ying communicated with the Qiang people. She was surprised to hear the name "Yangqi" again.
"Yang Qi? Is that the Yang Qi who is so skilled?"
Wen Ying said, "Yang Qi and Yang Cheng are the two brothers that Master Peng trusts the most. Most of Master Peng's affairs are handled by them. You should have seen them in the past few days!"
Su Tong was very surprised. Only then did she realize that it was not "Lao Yang", but "Lao Yang", and also not "Yang Cheng", but "Yang Cheng".
The "Old Yang" who was so thin that his eyes and cheekbones were very prominent was the warrior Yang Qi who was challenged 56 times in Heishuijian and won 54 of them.
Su Tong suppressed her surprise and let Wen Ying put on a long headscarf that reached the ground, leaving only her eyes exposed.
"District B and District C serve different people. People here know that I am an old man around Mr. Peng, so they generally don't question anything. Try not to take off your headscarf when you go there. I used to dress like this. Go quickly and come back quickly. There shouldn't be any problems."
Su Tong nodded in agreement.
Not long after, the Qiang man came back, communicated with Wen Ying for a few more times, and then signaled Su Tong to follow him.
Su Tong nodded to Wen Ying, turned around and followed her out.
This time, Su Tong slowly found some patterns.
There is an oil lamp at the door of the room, and torches are lit where there is a fork in the road. You need to remember whether to go left or right.
When they arrived at a place with a large brazier, another Qiang man came over to take over.
It seems that this is a "cross-zone" move, from zone B to zone C.
The Qiang man who had been there before retreated to the side. Su Tong continued to follow the Qiang man in Area C, silently memorizing the route in his mind, only remembering the locations of the torches.
The man took her in a roundabout way and stopped at the door of a room. He pointed inside, then turned and left.
Su Tong used the oil lamp to look at the unclearly engraved mark, and sure enough, it said "8A".
She pushed the door open and saw a large space inside, with bookshelves lined up one after another, densely packed with books. A quick glance revealed that there were books on not only history and archaeology, but also medicine, physics, and even chemistry and astronomy.
They are neatly arranged and classified, just like a small library.
Su Tong was surprised again.
But she didn't have time to look more closely. She just took a quick look inside and pushed the door open.
The corridor was quiet and no one was seen.
She walked along the corridor and soon stopped at the door of the 8th floor.
Standing at the door, she was a little hesitant. If Lin Jiao was imprisoned here, why wasn't there even a gatekeeper?
She looked left and right again, then pushed the door open.
This is a small room, not much different from the room Wen Ying lived in before, even the facilities are almost the same.
There was an oil lamp lit on each side of the room, and a person was lying on the bed against the wall.
All this is completely different from what one had imagined about the situation in which Lin Jiao was imprisoned.
Su Tong slowly approached the bed and saw that there was indeed a woman lying on it.
But she was lying on her side, facing inwards.
I heard someone come in, but there was no movement. I didn't know if he was asleep or just didn't want to pay attention.
Su Tong pulled off the headscarf covering her face and called out softly, "Lin Jiao?!"
The woman's body trembled slightly, and she slowly turned around...
The moment their eyes met, a hint of sharpness flashed in the woman's eyes, but when she saw Su Tong, it quickly turned into confusion and vigilance.
This was a face with sharp edges and a heroic look, which was very different from the delicate and pure image of a college student that Su Tong had imagined.
Su Tong concealed his surprise and continued to ask:
"Are you Lin Jiao?"
The woman did not answer but asked: "Who are you?"
"I was asked to find out about Lin Jiao and Professor Zhai. Are you... Lin Jiao?"
The other person lay on the bed, neither getting up nor speaking.
He just stared at her steadily, still not answering but asking:
"Who entrusted you with this?"
Su Tong didn't expect her to be so defensive, but she couldn't reveal Qin Yi's information before she was sure that she was Lin Jiao.
She stared at her quietly for a moment and said, "It took me a lot of effort to get here, and I don't have much time to stay here. I'm looking for Lin Jiao. If you're not her, then we have nothing to talk about."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"etc!"
The man really stopped her and said, "Please...please help me up!"
Su Tong turned around and saw the woman struggling to get up, but she seemed to be unable to do anything.
She walked back and took her hand, helping her sit up.
Su Tong felt something was wrong, so he took her pulse and was a little surprised.
"Did they drug you?"
The woman nodded and said, "Since I came here, my body has been sore and weak. I can't do anything. It may be a problem with the food, or it may be the water. Unless I don't eat or drink."
No wonder they didn’t have to send anyone to guard it, it turns out they put a lot of effort into other places.
The woman sat up, and Su Tong saw her face more clearly. Her hair was not long, just past her ears, a rare tomboyish style. Her skin was not delicate, and even a little rough. She did not look like a child who grew up in a wealthy family.
Is she Lin Jiao?
Su Tong reached out and shook the woman's hand again.
Her hands were not delicate, and there were calluses on the base of her thumb and middle finger. She checked twice.
Then, he softly called out a string of numbers, "0301?"
The woman's expression changed obviously, and her always indifferent expression finally showed some emotion.
Su Tong then read out the name behind him, "Comrade 0301 Zhang Zili."
The woman suddenly grabbed Su Tong's hand, her lips trembling a little, "Who are you?"
Su Tong pulled out the iron whistle that Qin Yi had hung around her neck from her collar.
"I can't tell you who I am, but you should recognize this."
The woman picked up the whistle and carefully examined it. She suddenly became excited and whispered, "Is it, is Boss Qin here?"
Su Tong then continued to ask: "Can you tell me now, who are you?"
"The Gale Company - 0309 Jiang Ying."
