Chapter 273 Birthday
"Those old guys are causing trouble again! Oh no - I have to check my experimental data first. I worked hard for several years to get them! Don't let them be destroyed again!"
Professor Wen said this and hurried away, apparently returning to the "laboratory" he had just been to.
Yang Cheng came over and motioned Su Tong to follow him.
Su Tong was full of doubts. She turned around and looked at the direction where the explosion came from. She took the opportunity to scan the surroundings, but did not see Zhou Jin.
"Don't think too much! The experiment just failed again!" Yang Cheng said coldly, his voice full of sarcasm.
"The experiment failed?" Su Tong asked involuntarily.
"With so many labs here, it's no wonder they fail a few times!"
"What kind of experiment is this? It's so dangerous!"
"Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about!"
Yang Cheng said as he took the black hood and put it on her without any hesitation.
After returning to Area B 2D and making sure it was safe, Su Tong locked the door and took out the things Zhou Jin handed to her.
It was a bamboo tube about the thickness of a thumb, sealed with wax.
It can be seen that Zhou Jin must have prepared it in advance, just waiting for the right time to send it out.
There is a piece of paper in the bamboo tube.
Unlike the simple two words last time, the note is not big, but it records a lot of content.
Su Tong was surprised after reading it.
Area A is the core area. Zhou Jin had only been there for a few days and had learned a lot of information.
The note recorded that 6-7 professors were under control, and there was a bracket with the letter Z in it, which should mean that Professor Zhai was among them.
There is another exit in Area A, which Zhou Jin specifically described. The exit faces a mountain shaped like a gold ingot and an especially tall tree.
The number of people with weapons and the time and pattern of patrols were also recorded.
This news is very important.
According to the earlier plan, while Qin Yi led the special operations team into the mountains, the joint team of the Sichuan Provincial Public Security Bureau and the Southwest Military Region would sneak into the area in batches. After they found the "treasure", they would attack from both inside and outside and arrest in one fell swoop this smuggling criminal gang that had been entrenched for many years and committed numerous crimes of extremely serious nature and a huge amount of money.
Qin Yi and his team have been in the mountains for six days. According to the previous plan, they should be able to return in about three days.
How cunning Mr. Peng is——
There are hills of all sizes surrounding Xiaoya Village. He built the base in the belly of the mountain. Outsiders entering and leaving have to wear masks. Without accurate intelligence, you have no way of determining which mountain the base is located in. Even if more police and troops come in, they have no idea where to start.
Considering the scale of this base, even if people were to surround the mountain, it would take the people inside several months.
What's more, there may be more than one exit that Zhou Jin discovered.
She believed that even the tunnel in the house that Lao Wan had been in before must have many confusing tricks and would not be easily discovered.
Therefore, she must send this information out as soon as possible. As long as there is evidence, the comrades outside can formulate targeted rescue and capture plans.
Su Tong didn’t know who Qin Yi would arrange to contact her, but she had to prepare in advance.
Fortunately, she now has her own "studio" with complete equipment and facilities, so it is not difficult to achieve some things.
The next day, Yang Cheng knocked on her door again and said that Zhang Huaian wanted to see her again.
Su Tong felt strange. It was Zhang Huaian again?
Although she had thought about it last time, could Zhang Huaian be sent by Qin Yi...
But she quickly denied it.
Not to mention that they had known Zhang Huaian for a limited time and were far from trusting each other, Zhang Huaian's identity alone made it impossible for them to be on the same front.
His father Zhang Yitian was born a bandit. In his early years, he bullied men and women, occupied the mountains and did all kinds of evil. Later, as he grew older, he did less fighting and killing, but started to engage in smuggling business. Zhang Yitian has always been the number one target of the Sichuan Provincial Public Security Bureau's crackdown on criminal gangs.
This time, although the Sichuan Provincial Public Security Bureau cooperated with Qin Yi's operation, they were also determined to eradicate this local cancer and get rid of it as soon as possible.
Although Su Tong's thoughts were racing, he did not stop and followed Yang Cheng to the "lobby" where he met Zhang Huaian last time.
But when I saw it, I was a little surprised.
Zhang Huaian wore a suit in the cold weather, which might be too thin, so he put on a thick cape on the outside. His hair was combed back shiny, and although he looked energetic, his face was still pale.
When he saw Su Tong coming out, Zhang Huaian's face was full of joy, and he quickly walked up to him and shouted:
"Sister Alan! You finally came out! I came to see you again!"
After saying that, he showed a slightly mysterious expression on his face and stared at Su Tong.
Su Tong was just wondering when she saw him suddenly take out a hand from his cloak and hold a few red things in front of her.
Those are a few wintersweets in full bloom.
"Haha! Sister Alan! I went up the mountain to look for these myself. It took me a long time to find them. Do they look good? I'll give them to you!"
Zhang Huaian's face was full of excitement.
Su Tong was somewhat speechless. Did this person really think that he was a young man who was ignorant of the world? In this situation, he still had the mood to look for flowers all over the hillside.
Before she could figure out how to react, she saw Zhang Huaian continue to smile mysteriously, "Dang-dang-dang-gear-there's more!"
As he spoke, his other hand stretched out from his cloak, holding a small box tied with colorful strips of cloth to look like a gift.
Su Tong was confused, but Zhang Huaian was excited, "Sister, come over here! Come quickly!"
As he said this, he walked to the table next to him, placed the flowers and the small box on it, and then quickly untied the knot on the box.
The box opened up, and in the middle was... a piece of cake?
Su Tong didn't wonder for long, because Zhang Huaian shouted at her:
"Sister Alan! Happy birthday!"
Su Tong's heart suddenly froze.
Ma Lan lost both her parents when she was young, and the information on her birthday does not show when she was born.
The second day of the second month was Wu Tong’s birthday originally registered on his household registration.
Although this date should have been made up by Wang Guilan, the only person who knows this date should be Qin Yi.
She showed a surprised expression on her face at the right time and asked:
"Zhang Huaian! How do you know today is my birthday?"
Zhang Huaian took out a small piece of red candle from his arms, put it on the cake, then took out a lighter and lit the candle with a "click".
"Oh my - Sister Alan! Make a wish first! And then blow out the candles!"
Su Tong watched him busying himself and did not move.
"Sister Alan! Do you know? This is how Westerners celebrate their birthdays! Don't look at me like this, I've studied abroad!"
Su Tong was actually a little surprised, "Have you been abroad?"
"Yeah! You don't believe it!"
Zhang Huaian felt a little embarrassed at this time. He touched his sleek hair and said:
"The old man said that he had been a bandit all his life and he couldn't let me be illiterate like him. Since he had money, he found a way to send me abroad. But I couldn't get used to bread and milk, so I came back after only half a year!"
"Oh no! Don't mention that! It's such a bummer! Come on! Blow out the candles! No one here knows how to make a cake. I spent so much effort to get this, and there's no butter! Just make do with it!"
Looking at Zhang Huaian's stubborn look, Su Tong had to put his hands together and close his eyes in a proper manner, and actually made a wish - he hoped that everything would go smoothly!
Then he blew out the candle.
