Chapter 196 A Faint Hope



Because Liusu and her friends only had a car driven by Liu Xiaobao, Liu Xiaobao first took Liusu to a hospital in the western region to treat her injuries, and then took Liusu back to Dr. Xiaoliang.

Liusu only had a broken arm. After being bandaged and fitted with a fixator at the hospital, she was told she needed to rest and was then discharged.

Not long after sending Liusu, who had been silent, back, Shao Silin and his team's investigation was also completed. Liu Xiaobao hurriedly drove to Kunlun Mountain to pick up Shao Silin and his team.

When picking up Shao Silin and the others, dozens of vehicles had already stopped at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and many soldiers and staff could be seen taking care of their equipment.

On the way, the atmosphere in the car was very heavy and silent. Everyone lowered their heads and did not speak.

"Um... did you find anything?" After a while, Liu Xiaobao, who was driving, forced a smile and spoke, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere in the car, but her voice was a little hoarse.

Shao Silin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took a deep breath and took out a silver-white pistol from his arms.

"This is..." When Liu Xiaobao saw the delicate "Su" on the gun, his pupils shrank slightly and he quickly stepped on the brakes: "Liu Su's standard pistol?"

"When Boss Shen became a special agent, Liusu gave him his standard pistol. When Boss Shen got his own standard pistol, he also gave his standard pistol to Liusu..." Shao Silin said in a deep voice.

“…”

The atmosphere in the car became even heavier.

Several of them understood very well what the special agent's standard pistol meant to them.

If a special agent loses his service pistol, it's a felony!

Every special agent will keep his standard pistol as if it were his own life. As long as the person is alive, the gun is there; if the person dies, the gun dies.

"Brother Chen didn't forget to return the gun to Senior Liusu before he fell off the cliff..." Ji Yuanqiu grabbed his hair, his eyes red, and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Chen will be fine. Just wait for the rescue team from the Institute of Biological Sciences to arrive..." Dong Yuanhua patted Ji Yuanqiu on the back, his eyes also red. "He has so many beautiful girls at home to take care of. If it were me, even if the King of Hell himself came to pull me out, I would slap him twice to drive him away..."

"Go to hell, you can't even take care of your own sister, so you have to leave it to me to take care of from now on..."

The two of them exchanged a few jokes in hoarse voices, but it did not help to ease the atmosphere in the car.

Soon, the car fell into silence again.

Liu Xiaobao stepped on the accelerator and the car started again.

When they returned to Dr. Xiaoliang's house, Dr. Xiaoliang came out to greet them personally.

"How is Liusu now?" Liu Xiaobao got out of the car, looking at Dr. Xiaoliang and asked, holding Liusu's standard pistol tightly.

What Chen Cheng means to Liusu, people like Liu Xiaobao who know Liusu well can tell at a glance.

Liusu's predecessor was a Bombay cat raised by a special investigator from the Institute of Basic Sciences of Biology. To Liusu, that special investigator was her father.

Liusu's father has a very gentle personality and always has a faint smile on his face. He is very popular in the Institute of Basic Biological Sciences, takes good care of the younger generations, and has a high reputation.

Unfortunately, Liusu's father was killed during the mission.

In fact, when they first met Liusu, she was not such a capable person. On the contrary, she was very lively, like a girl next door, and everyone took good care of her.

After Liusu's father passed away, Liusu seemed like a different person. The lively smile on her face disappeared, and she stopped expanding her social circle. She shut herself up all day long, practicing shooting and the fighting skills her father taught her.

This is also why the Institute of Basic Biological Sciences gave the heartless Shao Silin to Liusu as her partner when Liusu became a special investigator.

Even though Liusu's mood had improved somewhat after becoming a special agent, her capable and calm personality had also become fixed. At first, her lively smile seemed to be just a fleeting glimpse to everyone.

Younger generations like Ji Yuanqiu and Dong Yuanhua naturally had never seen what Liusu looked like at the beginning.

The reason why Liusu chose to give her standard pistol to Shen Cheng was probably because she saw the shadow of someone in Shen Cheng, so she didn't want to put him in danger...

But... the fact is...

Dr. Xiaoliang shook his head and sighed, "Come in and take a look."

Shao Silin and others walked into the room with heavy steps and saw Feicui standing in front of the open refrigerator with his eyes blank and motionless.

Liusu sat silently on the sofa, lowering her head and gently stroking a black pistol. The golden word "Cheng" engraved on it was shining dimly.

Her long hair covered most of her face, making it difficult to see her expression at the moment.

The living room was very quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, as if the pause button had been pressed. Only a faint heavy atmosphere was spreading and growing in the living room.

Liu Xiaobao held Liusu's standard pistol, pursed his lips, and for a moment he didn't know how to hand it to Liusu.

"You... are back..." Feicui came back to her senses, closed the refrigerator door, turned to look at Shao Silin and others, with tears still on her face.

"Hmm..." Looking at the jadeite, Liu Xiaobao showed a very forced smile on his face.

"Let me do it." Shao Silin reached out and took the pistol from Liu Xiaobao's hand, walked forward and sat opposite Liusu.

"How is your injury?" Shao Silin wanted to show his usual squinting smile, but the corners of his mouth seemed to be hung with lead blocks and he couldn't lift them up.

"..." Liusu did not answer, but continued to rub the black pistol in her hand blankly, like a stiff puppet.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but turn his head away, unable to bear to watch this scene.

When Liusu heard the news of her father's death, her reaction was no different from her current behavior.

Seeing Liusu's eyes seem to have lost their color, Shao Silin placed her standard-issue pistol on the coffee table and pushed it into Liusu's sight: "This is what we... picked up at Mianlong Cliff..."

At the end, Shao Silin's words were even slightly choked with sobs, but he still forced them back.

Even though they knew that the chances of Shen Cheng surviving were slim, several people still held on to that almost slim hope in their hearts. At this time, no one chose to cry.

When Liusu saw the silver-white pistol coming into view, his movements finally stopped and he stood there stiffly, motionless.
