The battle at the hospital that afternoon was ultimately explained by an accidental explosion.
As long as the matter is kept vague on the surface, how many people will actually believe it is another matter entirely.
At least when Tongsu went downstairs to get a drink of water, she happened to see Gu's father returning and discussing things with Gu Chengzong while they were arguing.
"It must have been done by mutants! If you ask me, they're no longer normal people. The government should designate a special area for them and let them live there instead of with us ordinary people—it's too dangerous!"
Gu Chengzong said, "There are no reports of death."
"It's definitely been covered up! Those lunatics! I can't stay here anymore, no human rights, no freedom... Foreign countries are better, lower taxes, sooner or later I'll get my whole family's citizenship waived..."
Gu's father possesses the unique mindset and temperament of a modern keyboard warrior.
When he was poor, he was filled with righteous indignation and often insulted those who had money to go abroad, mocking them for betraying their motherland. If he saw his compatriots suffering, he would even applaud.
Now that they've become rich and successful, they've started complaining about all sorts of bad things about China, seeing problems in everything, and wishing they could change their nationality the next day and become superior to others.
How did this kind of person manage to get ahead?
Tong Su was completely baffled.
Late at night, the man came again. His clothes were soaking wet, clearly indicating that he had just come ashore from the water. Fortunately, his scales had healed him, so he wasn't seriously injured.
Tong Su had just finished treating his wounds when she heard her superior's cold voice through the communication device: "Turn on the video!"
She could only hurriedly grab her laptop, put on her headphones, and the screen immediately lit up to show her superior's gloomy face: "What's going on with the mission?!"
The assassination mission was undoubtedly a failure. Director Zhen, who was supposed to be killed, was alive and kicking, while Ye Qingxi and Professor Hua, who were caught in the crossfire, were seriously injured.
The officer was furious but couldn't vent his anger. Although he was angry, he also understood that launching an attack within Chinese territory was extremely difficult.
China is a no-go zone for mercenaries!
This battle is a major operation that international terrorist organizations can boast about!
The officer did not notice Tong Su's little tricks with the elevator, and assumed that the elevator breaking down was just a coincidence.
This coincidence was small, but the butterfly effect it caused was huge. Since Director Zhen was not killed immediately, the base was already on high alert. If he then ordered Wu Ming to lead people to invade the base, it could only be said that he was courting death.
He gave Tong Su and Wu Ming a good scolding, and finally said, "Let's call it a day for now, we'll find another opportunity for the mission later. But it's not all without gains, at least Xin You has gained the trust of the Special Forces, which will make it much easier for you to join as an undercover agent."
Wu Ming suddenly interrupted, "No."
"What do you mean, 'not'?"
“To go undercover, no,” he said, his eyes dark and unfathomable as he stared intently at his superior on the screen, gripping Tong Su’s hand beside him. “It’s very dangerous.”
The officer looked at him strangely, and after a long while, raised an eyebrow: "Danger? What's dangerous about being an undercover agent? Even if she's discovered, will they kill her? But you, when did you become such a lovesick fool!"
He was impatient and quickly cut off the video call. The coldness on Wu Mingjun's face intensified. Tong Su's hand was gripped so tightly by him that it hurt a little. He suddenly turned around and said anxiously, "You're not allowed to go. It's dangerous."
"It's okay, don't you believe me?" She chuckled and patted his hand reassuringly. "I may not be able to beat others, but I can still escape. Have you forgotten that I have superpowers? I won't die."
The man grew increasingly agitated, his eyes even flashing red light. Tong Su was startled—was he starting to lose control of his reason again?
"Wu Ming!"
She whispered, raised her hand to his forehead, and forced her consciousness into him.
