Chapter 309 Congestion
Su Tong handed over his letter of introduction at the front desk.
The front desk clerk took one look and immediately said:
"Comrade Su, you're here! I called you the day before yesterday and yesterday, and there were messages for you."
Su Tong took it and saw that it was left for her by Lin Li, meaning that they had set out yesterday to accompany Lin Jiao and Professor Zhai to leave Da County and return to Beijing. He asked her to stay in the military district guesthouse after arriving in Beijing and wait for him to return to Beijing to find her.
Apart from this, there was no mention of Qin Yi, which probably means there is no news about him yet.
Su Tong calculated that he took a train from Gansu Province to transfer in Zhengzhou, which was a detour and took several more days on the road. If they had left Da County by car yesterday and drove slowly, they would have had more time and could have reached Beijing in three days.
She thanked the waiter and asked him to open a room for her.
After a quick wash, she lay down on the bed.
She received too much information today and her mind felt a little confused. She needed to sort it out carefully.
She was picked up by Old Lady Wu from the Daxian Temple in Shuanggouzi Village.
And Zhang Shoucheng, who came out of Shuanggouzi Village... happened to violate Lin Jiao who was waiting for Qin Yi in the park?
Isn't this... too coincidental?
She shook her head. She never believed in coincidences, but at the moment, she couldn't figure out the reason behind it.
She put the question aside for the time being.
Continue to analyze below...
Lin Jiao had clearly expressed to her her attitude towards Qin Yi.
It is now confirmed that she got the opportunity to go to the southwest with Professor Zhai through Mr. Qin.
At the same time, it can also prove that she didn't know that Qin Yi went to Hubei Province to perform a mission and was not in the Southwest Military Region. Otherwise, she would not have needed to seize this opportunity and get nothing.
So, how did she know that Qin Yi would go to Xiaoya Village?
She thought of her doubts about Jiang Ying that she couldn't express...
What was written in the note that Professor Zhai received? Why would such a gentle and polite professor who had no ability to protect himself go to meet the robbers in the middle of the night without regard for the danger?
As he said, it was related to the research materials of his research topic. He could obviously notify his superiors or security personnel first, and then meet with the other party after taking security measures.
…
And Lin Jiao...why would she risk exposing herself by following Professor Zhai's car?
How did she know that taking that bus would take her to Xiaoya Village?
She has no ability to protect herself, why does she dare to do that?
Was she blinded by love? Or was she sure that it would not be dangerous if she was exposed?
…
Su Tong shook his head. He couldn’t think about it. Any time he thought about it, he was filled with doubts!
She thought of the woman in the detention center again. Who was she?
She clearly knew me, she ran away because she saw me! But she ran away and then came back, came back to spy on me?
Is she watching her?
Or is she conflicted?
She knew Zhang Shoucheng! But before today, she had never seen Zhang Shoucheng!
And Qin Ran.
And there is the Su family.
She was a little overwhelmed by what happened today.
For the first time, she knew that Lin Jiao was the daughter of the Su family and that it was the Su family that had an engagement with Qin Yi.
My surname is Su, simply because it was Su in my previous life.
But, is it such a coincidence?
She had just expressed her feelings to Qin Yi when she found out that his engagement partner was also from the Su family.
She thought to herself with self-mockery: I wonder if the Su family has lost a daughter?
…
Su Tong felt his mind was in a mess and he fell into a deep sleep without knowing when.
At seven o'clock the next morning, she packed up and walked out of the guesthouse.
There was a car parked on the street opposite the gate, and a tall young man was leaning against the car door.
She wore a short puffy cotton jacket on the upper body, overalls on the lower body, high-top boots on her feet, and a white cashmere scarf around her neck. She looked tall and fashionable, attracting a lot of attention from passers-by.
Su Tong couldn't help but sigh that Song Shaoyang's fashion sense was really good, but the expression on his face looked a bit asking for a beating. What did he mean by being so blatantly arrogant?
"Why are you here?" Su Tong asked.
"What do you think? Your brother came all the way to pick you up! He even dressed up specially to come here. Doesn't that show his sincerity?" Song Shaoyang was a little excited.
Su Tong stepped forward and whispered, "But, Professor Wen and I made an appointment at nine o'clock, and I reserved time for the bus, so there's no need to go so early."
She was somewhat unaccustomed to the scrutiny from those around her.
Song Shaoyang opened the car door and urged, "Get in the car! If you want to go faster, we'll drive faster! If you want to go slower, we'll just go slowly! What's so difficult about this?"
Su Tong had no choice but to get in the car.
Then, I found the breakfast I had bought on the back seat of the car.
Still...quite a lot.
Song Shaoyang pointed them out to her one by one, "Jianbing Guozi, Youtiao, Baozi, Shaobing... There's soy milk in one cup, and milk in the other. I don't know what you like to eat, so I prepared a little bit of everything."
Su Tong looked at the full breakfast, feeling a little overwhelmed...
"Thank you so much! You came all the way to pick me up. Don't you have to go to work?"
"What's the point of attending the class? I'm going to be transferred anyway." Song Shaoyang didn't care.
Su Tong picked one and said to Song Shaoyang while eating:
"Why don't you take me to the People's Hospital as soon as possible? Then go to work, I should be there in time."
"Tsk! It's okay! Those old stubborn people keep repeating the same old things every day. My ears are almost callused from hearing them."
Su Tong glanced at him and said, "You are about to become the factory director, but you are still so unstable and skip work all the time. How can you attract those R&D talents?"
Song Shaoyang narrowed his eyes at her and said, "Tsk!"
"Are you serious? If I just work hard, I can attract R&D talent?"
"Of course!" Su Tong took a big bite of the bun.
Song Shaoyang squinted at her for a while and said:
"Then I'm serious! Some people can't regret it! I'm going to speed up! I'll take you there first! And then I'll go to work!"
Su Tong gestured "OK" to him.
There was no traffic jam on the streets of Beijing in 1977.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the intersection near the People's Hospital.
The road was smooth all the way, but there was some traffic at this intersection. A large group of bicycles, pedestrians, and several buses were stuck ahead.
Song Shaoyang stopped the car and waited for the red light. He asked Su Tong, "By the way, I forgot to ask you yesterday, how did you find your way around when you first came to Beijing?"
Su Tong thought, I recognized him in my previous life.
But she still took out a map of Beijing from her bag and said, "There is something called a map."
Song Shaoyang was a little unconvinced, "Is the map so detailed? So detailed that you can find the way just by looking at it?"
Su Tong pointed to his head and said, "Add IQ to it."
Song Shaoyang was about to retort, but Su Tong pointed at the light and said, "Green, green."
However, even though the light turned green, the traffic jam did not decrease and the car still could not move forward at all.
Su Tong said: "Why don't you turn this way? It's only a few steps away, I can walk over there."
Here, you can see the outpatient building of the People’s Hospital.
Song Shaoyang looked up and saw that the congestion had indeed not eased at all.
He nodded and said, "Okay! Then go by yourself! Oh, by the way! Don't rush to leave at noon, wait for me to come and have dinner with you! It just so happens that my aunt is in the hospital here, so I'll stop by to see her."
"Your aunt?"
