Su Xingran slowly opened her eyes, and a few rays of sunlight shone through the window. She stretched, finally feeling refreshed. The dormitory was somewhat backlit, so the light wasn't very bright, and Su Xingran hadn't checked the time, unaware that it was already noon.
Last night at dinner, Duan Yuming was about to wake Su Xingran, but Doctor Huang stopped him. "No need to wake her, she's exhausted and hasn't slept for days. Let her sleep; if she's hungry or has had enough sleep, she'll get up on her own."
Because Doctor Huang intervened, no one bothered to scold Su Xingran or call her for breakfast afterward. There was nothing they could do; her master was worried about his disciple not getting enough sleep and wanted her to get enough rest.
Gu Moting could only chuckle inwardly at this. He remembered that back when Taihe and Taizhou were still in school, sleeping in was out of the question. Their uncle would make them get up early every morning to exercise.
Now, he treats this apprentice like a precious gem, cherishing him dearly. Gu Moting reasonably suspects that his uncle's acceptance of an apprentice is a pretense; his real intention is to have a granddaughter.
My aunt really liked girls and always hoped for a daughter or granddaughter. But all she got were boys, which left her quite disappointed. My uncle always listened to her every word; whatever she wanted, he would do anything to get it for her.
Although his aunt had passed away, his uncle seemed unable to move on. Gu Moting sensed that Xingran didn't seem like an apprentice his uncle had taken in, but rather like a granddaughter his uncle had chosen for his aunt and himself.
Stepping outside the dormitory, Su Xingran realized the sun was already high in the sky. The police station had a canteen, and she walked there alone; it was lunchtime.
As soon as Su Xingran entered the cafeteria, Huang Tai'an and the others who were eating there saw her. "Xingran, come here, come here." Huang Tai'an waved to Su Xingran.
Su Xingran walked over and said, "Master, Uncle Huang, I slept so soundly that I didn't realize it was already noon when I woke up." Su Xingran felt a little embarrassed, as she was the only one who had slept so soundly.
"Haha, we wanted to call you for dinner, but your master stopped us and told us to sleep. You'll wake up and look for food when you've had enough sleep," Huang Tai'an said with a smile.
"Xingran, go see what you like to eat and bring it over to eat with us. After we finish eating, someone will probably want to talk to us. Xingran, don't worry, just tell them whatever they ask you. Master is here, they won't make things difficult for you."
Su Xingran understood; the military had sent people to inquire about the process. After all, many aspects were involved, and the military always demanded meticulousness in its work.
“Master, I understand. I’m not worried. I’ll speak my mind about what I’ve seen and experienced. I’ll go get the food first and then come back. You and Uncle Huang, please eat first.”
Dr. Huang was right. After lunch, Su Xingran was led to a room. Su Xingran sat on a stool with a table in front of her.
The door opened, and three soldiers in uniform walked in. The three soldiers sat down opposite Su Xingran.
"Comrade Su Xingran, we are officers sent by the military to handle this incident. My name is Qiu Guangming, and the two men next to me are Zhang Zhipeng and Li Lishan."
"We mainly want to know what happened in the lab. How did you injure Sato and knock out those enemies? And how did you learn to fire a gun? Please tell us these things so we can write them down."
“Okay, I understand. Let’s start from when my master and I were tied up and taken into the lab. When my master and I were taken into the lab, we were taken directly into a room.”
