This is a blind spot; you can't see it at all from the doorway.
"Bai Wei, what are you doing!" Wang Xiaoya finally sensed something was wrong, her whole body turned ice cold.
The vulnerability and regret on Bai Wei's face vanished without a trace the moment she closed the door.
She turned around and slammed the water room door shut again, this time locking it with a heavy bolt.
“Let’s chat.” Bai Wei smiled, slowly turning around inch by inch. Her smile resembled that of a venomous snake flicking its tongue. “Now, we can have a proper chat.”
...
Meanwhile, the armory was brightly lit.
Su Tang looked at the red-headed document spread out on the table and frowned almost imperceptibly.
The document was issued directly by the Equipment Department of the Military Region, and its title was very eye-catching: "Emergency Notice on the Establishment of a Technical Task Force for the 'Type 71 Muzzle Device'".
"Type 71" was the temporary code name they gave to that multi-chamber recoil brake.
"Urgent Notice"
"Comrade Su An, did you see that!" Sun Dahai rubbed his hands excitedly. "It's an 'emergency notice'! It was personally signed by Minister Zhao of the Equipment Department! He also sent a messenger to say that two top experts from the Ministry of Ordnance Industry in Beijing will be flying over early tomorrow morning to hear your design concept report! This is an incredible honor!"
Experts from Beijing?
Su Tang tapped her fingertips lightly on the document.
Things unfolded even faster than she had anticipated.
It seems that her avant-garde design really hit a nerve with the bigwigs.
"Master Sun, isn't it a bit too rushed to arrive tomorrow?" Su Tang asked.
"Urgent? This is nothing!" Sun Dahai slapped his thigh. "Minister Zhao originally wanted you to go there overnight! Take a military vehicle to the military district guesthouse and meet with his technical staff first! It was me, it was me and Instructor Lei who pleaded and begged to get you a seat for tomorrow! I told him it wasn't safe for a young girl like you to be running around outside the camp in the middle of the night, and that's how I persuaded him to stay."
Su Tang understood.
It seems that Lei Kuan shielded her from it.
"Does Instructor Qin know about this?" she asked, seemingly casually.
“Instructor Qin?” Sun Dahai was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, “Oh, you mean Instructor Qin who is in charge of our combat training? Of course he knows! Instructor Lei reported to him. Instructor Qin… well, he didn’t say anything, just that everything should be done according to regulations.”
Didn't say anything?
Su Tang's lips curled into a very faint smile.
Given Qin Ye's domineering nature, the fact that he didn't lose his temper on the spot when he knew he was going to be called away in the middle of the night was already a testament to his restraint.
I bet he's seething with anger right now.
"Su An, you need to prepare well," Sun Dahai said earnestly. "This is a golden opportunity for you to rise to the top! If you can make a name for yourself in front of the experts in Beijing, your future will be limitless! Our Third Battalion will also benefit from it!"
Su Tang nodded, but was thinking about something else.
She won't be back for at least a day or two.
The dormitory area...
She always felt uneasy.
Bai Wei's unusual behavior tonight was like a small thorn stuck in her heart.
"Master Sun, I'll head back to my dorm now. I'll pack my things and get ready to go tomorrow," Su Tang said.
"Okay, go ahead, you need to prepare well." Sun Dahai agreed without suspicion.
Su Tang strode out of the armory. The cool night breeze helped to clear her jumbled thoughts.
