The two ran with difficulty, followed closely by several people not far away.
Su Ying didn't want to be caught by them, so as soon as they reached a corner where there was cover, she immediately pulled Gu Sinian into the space.
After catching his breath, Gu Sinian finally understood what had happened.
"They've entered the space," Gu Sinian said to Su Ying in disbelief, then chided her playfully.
"Are you crazy! You dare to enter a spatial dimension on the middle of the street!"
Knowing she had done something wrong, Su Ying rubbed her hands together tightly, afraid the man would scold her.
After all, she was wrong to do this. She dared to enter the space with only a little bit of cover. Wasn't that indirectly telling others that they had a secret?
"I had no choice. There was a group of people behind us who were about to surround us. You were only focused on running and didn't have time to observe the road conditions, but I was different. I kept looking back."
"They almost caught us. If we don't enter the space, we're doomed."
"Besides, we were disguised today, so no one knows what secrets we have. And it's not like I disappeared in front of them."
"Even if they have any guesses... they can't figure out why we could disappear into thin air. They can only think it's a ghost."
Gu Sinian licked his lips. It was indeed dangerous outside. He might not be able to get away with it while he was nearby, but the people who were supposed to capture them were definitely lying in wait nearby.
Actually, he wasn't blaming his wife; it was just that what she did was too risky, and he lost his temper and scolded her.
He didn't do it on purpose.
He pulled her into his arms and hugged her. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be mean to you. It's just that you were too reckless. You dared to disappear on the spot at such close range. What if they saw us and reported us? How were we supposed to live?"
Su Ying didn't take such a small matter to heart at all. "There's everything in the space. Are you afraid of going hungry? Even if we wait for you to come to us, how long can we wait? We have so many supplies for you, even if you disappear for a month, it won't matter. Let's see who can outlast whom."
"Don't talk nonsense. There's still a tractor in the space. Sun Xuelin has to deliver goods tomorrow. They've been so considerate of us, we can't let them be wronged."
Su Ying muttered to herself, "I was just saying. What I just mentioned was only the worst-case scenario. We'll go back once things have calmed down."
"The villagers of Liushu Village are quite nice. They have never mistreated us. When I was sent to the countryside, they knew that I was the daughter of a capitalist and did not make things too difficult for me."
"For the sake of these matters, I won't make things too difficult for them. The most important thing in doing business is integrity, and I won't make things difficult for Sun Xuelin."
"That's good. Let's unload the equipment first, and then go out in an hour."
Okay. I'll do whatever you say.
The two changed back into their original clothes in the space, so even if they appeared in front of those people, they wouldn't recognize them.
After finishing her work, Su Ying became very interested in what had just happened, since people like to hear gossip when they're free.
"What kind of people do you think that chubby man and that woman look like?"
Gu Sinian carefully recalled the chubby man's physical characteristics, "His leg was injured, but I couldn't quite figure it out."
"However, I am certain that he was shot. Just like you said, he deliberately concealed the wound, so it doesn't look like a gunshot wound, but rather like some kind of fall injury."
Su Ying recalled the scene from earlier, "When that woman sprinkled the powder on that fat man, his wound became infected. How could a proper hospital have such poor bandaging techniques?"
"Even someone as mediocre as me could have treated his wound."
Gu Sinian frowned. "So they just bandaged that wound hastily."
"At this point, this is the only assessment we have: generally, someone who has been shot will not survive without penicillin to reduce the swelling."
Gu Sinian knew this. Back then, Bai Yuchuan almost became mentally impaired from the fever, but a single injection of penicillin immediately changed her condition, saving her life.
"Yes. He survived a gunshot wound, so he must have had a lot of scarce medicines, but not all of them."
Su Ying nodded, "That's the only way to deduce it for now."
"But how could someone who frequents the black market get so many drugs?"
"What's so difficult about that? People who frequent the black market have their own ways of dealing with people."
The man frowned. "But why were you shot?"
Su Ying stroked her chin thoughtfully, "I don't know either. Could it have been the regular army that attacked?"
"That's possible. Otherwise, why wouldn't they go to the hospital for treatment?"
Gu Sinian slapped his thigh. "That's right. It was the regular army that did it, so they didn't dare go to the hospital, afraid they'd be arrested if they did. Even if they had connections, they wouldn't dare."
"That's it. Should we report it to the police after we get out?"
He definitely needs to report the case, but right now he doesn't know what reason to give.
I can't exactly tell the police that I took my wife to the black market today and discovered a big secret.
A man who had been shot was searching for expensive medicine on the black market. Was he trying to tell others that he was breaking the law?
no.
Absolutely not.
Once his involvement in the black market is exposed, he'll never be able to serve in the military again.
The military was the place he had always longed for, and he absolutely could not ruin his future.
He couldn't pretend nothing had happened. What if the other person was a very important fugitive? What if he let him go this time, and then he came back to kill someone else?
He doesn't deserve to be a soldier at all.
When Su Ying turned her head, she saw the man's tightly furrowed brows. Was her question so difficult to answer?
"Never mind... if it's too much trouble, I won't report it."
The man shook his head firmly. "No. Now that I've discovered this, I can't just sit idly by. I've been in this line of work; I can't just do nothing. What if this person is a fugitive? If we don't report it, wouldn't that be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, allowing him to harm even more people?"
Su Ying shook her head desperately, "No way. Bad guys should be caught and eaten like peanuts. These two siblings are obviously not good people. They look like they've taken lives."
"But we can't just report it to the police directly. The hardest part now is finding a suitable reason to report it, is that what you mean?"
Gu Sinian nodded, "I can't just tell the person who reported us that we knowingly broke the law by selling on the black market."
"It's really not something I can say, it would be bad for our family's reputation, and it might even implicate my father."
"That's exactly right. My family just had a bad accident, and we absolutely can't afford to have another one happen this time."
"Then just pin this on me."
The man disagreed, "How can that be? What does this have to do with you?"
"How can it be nothing? The painkillers I gave him will keep him from feeling any pain for a week. If I had known he was this mean, I should have put some itching powder in there."
