Chapter 79: Making a Mistake? Enemies on All Sides!
"Xiaobai~"
Tang Jingmo's voice came from the other side of the cliff, low and restrained.
He strode over, his eyes sweeping over Xiaobai quickly like an eagle. After confirming that she was safe, he turned to Gu Xicheng and Su Po, put his military boots together, and gave a standard military salute.
"Chief Gu, Advisor Su, everything is ready outside. Should we evacuate first to avoid causing panic among the villagers down the mountain?"
Gu Xicheng nodded slightly: "It's time to go."
He walked to the pine tree, patted the trunk gently, and turned around to see another armored warrior.
The two of them led their teams away, and Su Po always felt that he had forgotten something.
Until Mu Shengyu trotted over and said, "Advisor Su, have you retrieved the fragments?"
He then secretly said "Oh no!"
He turned around abruptly and swept his eyes across the empty cliff, but there was no sign of Xiaobai and Tang Jingmo!
These two naughty boys actually took advantage of the chaos to slip away!
"Advisor Su?" Mu Shengyu saw his expression change and asked cautiously, "Did Comrade Lin forget to return it? Should we send someone to get it back?"
Su Po let out a long breath, then suddenly smiled, and slowly straightened his cuffs, saying in a light voice: "Fragment, died heroically while rescuing Comrade Lin Xiaoan!"
"Ah?!" Mu Shengyu was stunned and suspected that he was hallucinating.
"Go back and write a good report. Make sure it's perfect and take credit for our 976. It will be a worthy death for the fragments!"
Mu Shengyu opened his eyes wide and said in confusion: "But, Consultant Su, you concluded before that the fragments were matter from the universe... indestructible..."
"Are you questioning my judgment?" Su Po's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his aura was so strong that Mu Shengyu was immediately silent.
"No, no...I just can't figure it out..." Mu Shengyu scratched his head.
"If you can't figure it out, forget it." Su Po patted his shoulder, his tone so gentle that it made people's hair stand on end. "There is so much work to do, why bother about something that has already been decided?"
Su Po turned and walked towards the jeep, his back full of the expression "this matter ends here".
Mu Shengyu opened his mouth, but finally followed with his head down. The leader had spoken, so what else could he do? Fortunately, he couldn't figure out what that thing was, so it wasn't a pity.
On the mountain road, Xiaobai and Tang Jingmo were walking very fast.
"Why are you running so fast?" Xiao Bai complained, but his steps were not slow at all. "Su Po doesn't really want to chase you."
Tang Jingmo listened attentively to the engine sounds in the distance, and slowed down his pace after confirming that it was safe: "Just in case. It's a bit troublesome to explain."
His gaze fell on the inside of Xiaobai's right wrist - the seventh fragment had already merged with the other six.
"Is there anything unusual?"
Xiao Bai concentrated for a moment and shook his head: "No, my abilities haven't increased, and my body hasn't changed."
She frowned, "But it feels like...something's wrong."
Tang Jingmo's eyes darkened slightly.
The origin and operating mechanism of the SO1 ring remain a mystery to this day, and this feeling of being out of control makes him feel like a thorn in his throat.
He gently held Xiaobai's hand: "Maybe it's a good thing that there is no change."
He stroked the mark on her wrist with his fingertips, and the cold touch made his heart tighten - is this thing really safe?
When the door of the Lin family courtyard was pushed open, Lin Guohua was squatting by the well washing vegetables.
"Xiao, Xiaobai?!" The cucumber in his hand fell into the water with a splash, "Why are you back?!"
Lin Shuhua rushed out of the kitchen, flour still on her apron.
She walked forward and hugged Xiaobai: "Why are you back? Are you on vacation or did something happen? Are you injured?"
As he spoke, he looked up and down.
"It's okay!" Xiao Bai said with a smile, "Tang Jingmo and I are on vacation, and I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you in advance."
"I'm glad you're back..."
Soon, the aroma of braised pork wafted from the kitchen, and the magpies chirped under the eaves...
The SO1 ring on Xiaobai's wrist flickered imperceptibly.
The next morning, when Xiaobai opened his eyes, he was met with a pair of bright big eyes.
"Hey!" Xiaobai subconsciously threw a straight punch, but when he saw who was coming, he retracted his punch just before Song Wan's eyes.
"Song Wan! What are you doing squatting beside my bed so early in the morning? Do you want to eat my fist?"
"Cousin!" Song Wan held her chin with both hands, smiling so hard that her teeth could not see her eyes. "Good morning, I'm your cousin! Be good, call me cousin!"
"What?" Xiaobai looked confused, his brain just waking up and still couldn't wrap its head around it.
She touched Song Wan's forehead and said, "You don't have a fever. What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I knew you wouldn't understand!" Song Wan spread out a crumpled piece of paper like she was presenting a treasure. On it was a crooked family tree.
"Look! I made a character relationship chart just for you!"
She cleared her throat and acted like a storyteller:
"Speaking of the current head of the Su family, Su Boting, a leading figure in the scientific research community, he has married two wives.
My ex-wife gave birth to a daughter, Su Jing, who is my mother; my second wife gave birth to a pair of children, the son Su Po, who is your uncle, and the daughter Su Xiao, who is your biological mother! "
Xiaobai yawned, and his eyelids began to twitch again, "So?"
Song Wan danced with excitement, "So, according to seniority, you have to call me cousin! And Gu Zhongzhang, he is your cousin! I didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, we are all family!"
"Are you done?" Xiao Bai asked in a daze, then fell back onto the kang with a thump, "Then I'll continue sleeping..."
Song Wan opened her mouth and finally sighed helplessly.
What she actually wanted to say was: The storm is coming, and since we are all in the same boat, why not face it together and not keep everything in our hearts...
Longshan Village was filled with gentle breeze and drizzle, and the spring was warm, but over in the military district—
Gu Xicheng pushed open the door of the military district conference room, and four armed guards surrounded him.
"Please hand over your gun!"
Gu Xicheng raised his eyebrows and took a quick glance, taking in the entire situation in the conference room.
He took off his pistol slowly and deliberately let it slip as he handed it over.
With a "bang", the pistol hit the guard's feet, scaring the young guard.
"Sorry, my hand slipped!" Gu Xicheng gave a typical "Gu-style fake smile" and observed the two people sitting in the first seat calmly from the corner of his eye.
At the end of the long conference table, a man and a woman sat upright.
The woman had short, neat hair and her nails were neatly trimmed.
The man wore gold-rimmed glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses were as cold as a venomous snake.
"Sister Wang, Director Ning!" Gu Xicheng strode to the table, his military boots tapping out a crisp rhythm on the floor, "What brings you two to this remote place?"
"Gu Xicheng!" Ms. Wang slammed the table and stood up, making the teacups on the table jingle.
"How dare you be so cheeky here? Do you know how big a mistake you've made?"
