Chapter 294 Threat
She rubbed her temples and was about to go out for a look when there was a knock on the door.
The knock was very light, and I could tell it was not Jiang Ying.
Su Tong put all the things into her bag, opened the door and saw Lin Jiao standing at the door.
Seeing Su Tong, she smiled and said:
"Is that Sister Su? Can I call you that?"
The bruises on her face have not yet faded, and she looks even more fragile and charming when she smiles. She is the type that can arouse a man's desire to protect her.
Su Tong nodded, "Okay, how do you feel today?"
"Much better! I heard that you helped me last night, so I came here to thank you!"
"It's okay! If you feel uncomfortable, you can always come to me."
"Sister Su, you are so nice! Can I come in and sit for a while?"
Before Su Tong could say anything, he heard Lin Li's voice outside the yard.
"Have you packed everything? It's time to go!"
——————
The county seat is located about 25 kilometers west of Xiaoya Village. It takes 18 kilometers to walk along the mountain road from Xiaoya Village.
Several people followed a team of public security comrades who were carrying baskets out of the mountain.
The baskets are filled with data and some instruments as evidence and research materials, which must first be transported to the county.
Several members of the action team were also disbanded and assigned tasks.
Because the public security comrades were carrying heavy loads, the team did not move very fast, but Lin Jiao still collapsed to the ground before she had walked far, with cold sweat on her forehead and a pale face.
Jiang Ying handed the backpack to Lin Li and carried Lin Jiao on her back.
It was fine at the beginning, but the mountain road was difficult to walk on. No matter how hard Jiang Ying persisted, she was exhausted after walking for a while.
Lin Li went forward to replace her, but Lin Jiao shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face.
Lin Li couldn't force it, even though he had carried her for a long time last time when they came out of the ancient tomb. At that time, Jiang Ying and Su Tong had gone to open the stone gate in advance, and she was unconscious. Several team members took turns carrying her out, and they were all exhausted.
Jiang Ying was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back, but Lin Jiao refused to let Lin Li carry her on her back.
The public security comrades at the end of the team in front had looked back several times, fearing that they would fall behind.
Su Tong silently handed the backpack to Lin Li, and then said to Lin Jiao:
"Can I carry you on my back?"
Lin Jiao bit her lip. "Thank you...thank you Sister Su! I'm so useless! I've caused you so much trouble!"
Su Tong didn't say anything. He bent down, carried Lin Jiao on his back, and caught up with the team.
Lin Jiao is not that heavy, but carrying someone on your back while walking up a mountain road is extremely demanding on your physical strength and endurance.
Su Tong tried his best to maintain his speed so as not to fall too far behind the team.
Lin Jiao lay quietly on her back at first, but after walking a distance, she suddenly spoke.
There was no preparation or opening remarks, and her voice was not loud, but because it was right next to her ear, Su Tong could hear it clearly.
"I have seen photos of Brother Qin Yi in college. There are photos of him giving reports and giving military training to college students. The photos are in the school history museum, so others can't see them. But Grandpa Qin gave me the privilege, so I can go everywhere."
"I knew he was my marriage partner. I fell in love with him the first time I saw his photo, but my mother said happiness can't be forced or arranged. She helped me cancel the engagement. I was very sad and wanted to meet him privately, but unexpectedly something went wrong."
"I don't have the courage to live anymore! I tried to die several times but failed! After Brother Qin Yi caught all the bad guys for me, I figured it out. If there is still one person in this world who gives me a reason to live, it is Brother Qin Yi!"
Lin Jiao spoke without pause, and was so straightforward that she left no room for maneuver. Su Tong sneered in his heart and asked:
"Why are you telling me this?"
Lin Jiao said word by word: "I want you to know that as long as I am alive, I will marry Brother Qin Yi! If I can't marry him, I will die!"
Su Tong let go of his hand, and Lin Jiao fell to the ground with a thump.
"Ouch--"
"What's wrong? Why did you fall?" Lin Li, who was following behind, ran up and asked.
Su Tong said coldly: "I can't carry it anymore, whoever wants to carry it can do it!"
"Please make way - please make way -"
At this time, two soldiers came from the front in the opposite direction, carrying a sedan chair.
"Sorry! We were supposed to pick up Comrade Lin Jiao! We're a little late!"
"It's okay! You didn't walk far!" Lin Li helped Lin Jiao up and let her sit on the sedan chair.
After Lin Jiao sat down, she turned her head and said to Su Tong in a soft voice:
"Thank you, Sister Su, for carrying me! You must be exhausted!"
Su Tong looked at her and replied with a half-smile:
"Not bad! It was worth it to carry you on my back once."
Lin Li looked at her. "What, what happened?"
"It's okay! Go ahead and keep an eye on her, don't let her fall!"
Lin Li was a little confused. He felt that the atmosphere just now was not right, but he couldn't understand the undercurrents between the women. He scratched his head and ran forward.
Jiang Ying stepped forward, looked forward, and asked Su Tong in a low voice:
"Did Lin Jiao say anything to you?"
Su Tong looked at Jiang Ying, "Why do you ask that?"
Jiang Ying looked at the sedan chair moving away in front of him and whispered:
"Do you...know Lin Jiao's identity?"
"Identity? Do you mean the identity of the Qin family's benefactor? Or the identity of Qin Yi's ex-fiancée?"
"So you know everything. I saw that you and Boss Qin have such a good relationship, and I have been wanting to remind you. I think... I think Lin Jiao is not as weak as she looks on the surface, and she may not be happy to see you two doing well!"
Su Tong thought about it and said bluntly: "She just told me that she would either marry Qin Yi or die!"
Jiang Ying opened her mouth wide, and after a while she said, "She is too childish. She actually wants to threaten you with death?"
"She's not threatening me... She's threatening everyone! Me, Qin Yi, and even her family and Qin Yi's family. Since she dares to say it so bluntly, she's not afraid of being known by others."
"W-What do you mean?"
Su Tong looked at Jiang Ying and said, "She is not childish at all. Moreover, she is not just threatening. When she says she will die, she really dares to die! If she dies, she will become a thorn, not only between Qin Yi and me, but also between our two families. There will be no peace forever."
Jiang Ying was silent. After they walked a long distance forward, Jiang Ying could not help but speak:
"So, what should you do?"
Su Tong smiled and asked, "What kind of person do you think your Boss Qin is?"
Jiang Ying thought for a moment and said, "He is a very capable person. He possesses all the excellent qualities of a soldier. In our military region, he is a role model for almost everyone."
“Does he have a sense of responsibility?”
"That's just the most basic quality of a soldier. If he doesn't have a sense of responsibility, no one will have it."
"So, what should I worry about? Such an outstanding Boss Qin dared to make a promise to me, what should I worry about? Besides, I dared to promise your Boss Qin, so I was mentally prepared! Am I such a weak person? Originally, I still had some pity and guilt for this girl, but now I don't have to worry about it! That's great!"
Jiang Ying tilted her head and looked at Su Tong, seeming a little uncertain about what she said.
Su Tong said, "Okay, let's skip this question. Now you can tell me what unreasonable things you found in her?"
Jiang Ying opened her eyes wide, "Did I say that?"
Su Tong nodded, "You didn't say it, but I heard it!"
