Chapter 181 I Want the Truth
Chen Qingqing observed the dagger in her hand for a while.
The dagger had some wear and tear, which meant it had been well used.
When it was taken out of the box, it was clean, which meant it had been carefully taken care of before being delivered.
And it was delivered at such a special time on New Year's Eve...
Chen Qingqing was not sure if this was considered a provocation.
Shang Li suddenly had an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Sister, I know!"
"This must be a gift from her!"
"Maybe she wants to please us, but she is afraid that you don't know her identity, so she expressed it in this way on this special day."
"And sister, when you took You Zhi and the people from the 73rd Base to deal with them, did they deliberately avoid the people from our base?"
"It must be Xiaoling's instruction!"
"She remembered your help to her before, so she deliberately showed mercy."
In this way, everything can be explained.
Why did the boy contact Xiao Huan, and why did they avoid the team led by You Zhi.
Everything has been answered.
But Chen Qingqing still doesn't understand one thing.
"Since they don't want to hurt us, why can't they cooperate with us earlier?"
Instead, they use this strange method to communicate in a roundabout way again and again.
"Xiaoling can just come to me directly. After all, I am definitely more willing to cooperate with them than Chu Yiyi."
Their attitude was very strange. They put Chen Qingqing and Chu Yiyi in the same hostile position, and deliberately avoided Chen Qingqing, obviously not wanting to offend me.
Now that they sent this dagger on New Year's Eve, it was even more obvious that they wanted to show goodwill and reveal their identity.
Chen Qingqing didn't understand at all.
Shang Li touched his chin and thought: "Maybe they have something to hide?"
"Mom, your cell phone is ringing!" Xiaohuan ran over with his hand raised.
Chen Qingqing took it and saw the three words "Chu Yiyi" on it.
Shang Li frowned: "She must know that our base has sounded the alarm, so she wanted to call and ask what happened."
"Should we tell her?"
Chen Qingqing subconsciously wanted to deny it, but then she thought, Xiaoling dared to send a dagger so openly, doesn't it mean that she has no intention of avoiding suspicion?
Is it possible... that she made such a big fuss just to let Chu Yiyi know?
Chen Qingqing had an idea in her mind.
"Even if we don't tell her, Chu Yiyi will find out in various ways sooner or later."
After saying this, Chen Qingqing immediately answered the phone.
Chu Yiyi pretended to be anxious on the other end of the phone: "Sister Qingqing, why did you answer the phone just now? I was so worried!"
"I heard you called the police? Did something happen? Can I help?"
Although Chu Yiyi deliberately made an anxious voice, Chen Qingqing still heard that she was looking at the excitement.
Chen Qingqing said calmly: "Oh, nothing, someone just went to great lengths to send me a gift."
"What gift?" Chu Yiyi's appetite was really whetted.
Chen Qingqing suddenly changed the subject and asked back: "By the way, why are you afraid of that team of superpowers? Did you have any grudges with them before? Or do you have any conflict of interest with them?"
Chu Yiyi changed from the questioner to the person being questioned, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
A few moments later, Chu Yiyi's laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Sister Qingqing, your question is very strange. Why should I be afraid? Isn't that our common enemy?"
"She wants to annex our two bases. Of course we have to work together!"
"This is a win-win situation. How can I have a conflict of interest with them?"
Chen Qingqing continued to ask: "Then how do you know that he wants to annex the 75th base?"
"After all, our base has not been affected for such a long time."
"..."
Chu Yiyi did not reply.
Chen Qingqing held the phone farther away and said in a relaxed tone: "I now suspect that they have no hostility towards my 75th Base."
"After all, they just gave me a big gift."
"This gift is enough to make me reconsider whether we should continue to cooperate."
Chu Yiyi's tone suddenly became panic: "Sister Qingqing, don't be deceived!"
"Just a little benefit and a small gift, don't be blinded! What good intentions can they have?"
Chen Qingqing almost laughed out loud.
They didn't have any good intentions, so could it be that Chu Yiyi had any good intentions?
"Don't worry, I won't be carried away. I'm much more rational than you."
"I'm not interested in the value of the gift, but this gift reminds me that I can cooperate with them."
"You said... If I sit down and talk with them, will we find new opportunities for cooperation?"
"Sister Qingqing!"
Chu Yiyi gritted her teeth to interrupt her, and forced a smile.
"Let's not beat around the bush! After all, we have been together for so long, even strangers should have some feelings for each other, right?"
"I can also offer the same conditions as they can... Don't worry, I'll go to the 75th base now, wait for me!"
The phone was hung up in a hurry, Shang Li looked at Chen Qingqing and silently raised a thumb.
"Sister, can we get any information from Chu Yiyi?"
Chen Qingqing glanced at the dagger in her hand.
"Of course... and it's information about whether we can change from passive to active in the future."
Soon a guard called and said Chu Yiyi had arrived, and brought Xun Na and Xiaoyu with her.
Chen Qingqing and Shang Li looked at each other.
It seems that Chu Yiyi is really anxious.
Chu Yiyi was brought to Chen Qingqing's office. As soon as Chu Yiyi entered the room, she began to look around: "
Where are the people?" Chen Qingqing, who was standing in front of the window, turned her head: "Who?"
"It's the people sent by the superpower team to deliver gifts!"
Chen Qingqing: "You are talking about this, they left a long time ago."
Chu Yiyi became nervous in an instant: "Sister Qingqing, you haven't already reached a cooperation with them, have you?"
"How is that possible?"
Chen Qingqing sat down and pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit down and talk."
Chu Yiyi smiled and sat opposite Chen Qingqing: "I knew that Sister Qingqing would never abandon me."
"Sister Qingqing, I brought Xun Na and Xiaoyu this time. If you want to keep them here to help you, I don't mind."
Chen Qingqing glanced at the two people behind her.
When Jiang Cuiping was critically ill, she did plan to send someone to pick up Xiaoyu.
But now Jiang Cuiping is out of danger, and Chen Qingqing doesn't need Xiaoyu at the moment.
As for Xun Na, Chen Qingqing doesn't need her even more.
Chen Qingqing paused: "I don't want them."
Chen Qingqing's eyes were sharp, and she said straight to the point: "I want to know the truth."
"The truth about... you and that superpower team."
