Chapter 258: Frequent Strange Events
"Yes, yes, yes."
Cheng Sinian nodded frantically on the side.
He feels the same way.
It's like a puzzle. Even if a few pieces are missing, you can still see the general pattern, but once a few pieces are missing, the puzzle can no longer be put together.
Qiao Yu pursed her lips and said, "What Cheng Sinian just said is pretty much right, but it's missing a key point."
Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows, "331st Legion, right?"
"Yes." Qiao Yu touched his chin, "I think this is very likely our breakthrough point."
"Qingchuan, is there any movement from Xie Ping'an?" Qiao Yu suddenly asked loudly.
Yu Qingchuan shook his head. "I don't know. Commander Xie's actions are highly confidential. If you want to find out, you have to go inside the military region."
"But I've been busy with exchanges and drug research with Professor Kang and Professor Shen recently, so I haven't visited him."
Qiao Yu sighed softly after hearing this, "Then we can only wait a little longer."
It was obvious that this itinerary was deliberately designed by someone. As long as this person takes action, there will definitely be loopholes.
--
For the next two days, there was some unrest in the convoy.
The five mercenaries that day were like a probing signal sent by someone behind the scenes, tearing a huge hole in the peace of the team.
"Colonel Chu, have you counted the number of mercenaries lost today?"
After nightfall, Yan Zijin came to Chu Yi's tent and asked in a low voice.
Chu Yi's expression has become uglier over the past two days.
Every day, mercenaries in the convoy would suddenly go out of control. They were manic, violent, irrational, and had no rules at all. He didn't know where to start when he wanted to investigate.
In just two days, nearly fifty mercenaries in the convoy lost control, were killed, or were seriously injured.
Chu Yi was worried every day, fearing that something might happen in the team again, but what he feared came true.
"Captain Yan." Although Chu Yi's expression was grim, he still nodded politely to Yan Zijin. "We've counted the number of mercenaries killed today."
Yan Zijin frowned when he heard this.
How come this number keeps getting bigger?
Yan Zijin pursed her lips, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Chu Yi hadn't heard Yan Zijin speak for a long time, so he looked at him with some confusion, and found that he was embarrassed, as if saying "I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."
"Captain Yan, if you have anything to say, please speak frankly."
Yan Zijin sighed softly, "Then I'll be frank."
"I wonder how much Colonel Chu knows about the situation over at the Pendulum?"
Chu Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, "I don't know much, I don't know what Captain Yan means?"
Seeing a hint of defensiveness on Chu Yi's face, Yan Zijin quickly waved his hand and said, "Colonel Chu, please don't misunderstand me. I just want to say that if there are some things you really can't figure out, why not try to ask others for help?"
Chu Yi heard the hidden meaning in Yan Zijin's words and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Captain Yan means... the pendulum...?"
Yan Zijin smiled and said, "I just think that more people mean more ideas, and they seem to be quite capable."
There were some things Yan Zijin didn't dare to say openly. He didn't know why, but every time he mentioned the pendulum, he would inexplicably think of the look Jiang Zhan gave him when he was talking to Tang Ran that day.
So he always subconsciously avoided topics related to the pendulum.
He was not a person who meddles in other people's business, but seeing that the number of mercenaries killed in the past two days was really large, he thought of persuading Chu Yi to try his luck at the pendulum.
After all, everyone is in the same boat now. Although the team he leads has not encountered any problems yet, if things keep going wrong on the military side, he probably won't be in a much better situation either.
After hearing what Yan Zijin said, Chu Yi thought silently for a few seconds.
He still had some admiration for Yan Zijin.
Being able to lead the team to stand out among so many mercenary hunting teams in G City requires more than just supernatural powers.
As for the pendulum...
Although he didn't think those people had anything special except for their good looks and arrogant temperament, but since Commander Xie personally arranged them into the research institute's team, it shouldn't be just because of Yu Qingchuan's face, right?
Moreover, Yan Zijin came to talk to him in person today. No matter how dumb he was, he would be able to understand the hidden meaning in his words.
"Okay, I understand." Chu Yi nodded, "Thank you Captain Yan for your guidance."
"You're welcome." Yan Zijin smiled at him again, turned around and left without saying anything else.
That was all he had to say. Whether or not Chu Yi listened was up to him.
The two thought they were talking in secret, but they didn't know that Jiang Zhan had already heard everything about their conversation.
After dinner today, Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan returned to their room early in the morning and were now leaning against the headboard and talking.
"This Yan Zijin is a smart man."
Qiao Yu lay in Jiang Zhan's arms, and after listening to Jiang Zhan's conversation, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
Jiang Zhan put his arm around Qiao Yu's waist, caressing it gently with his fingertips. "Indeed."
Compared to idiots like Chu Yi and Tang Ran, he is indeed very smart.
"Ah Zhan, who do you think is smarter, Yan Zijin or Baili Zhuo?"
Jiang Zhan thought for a moment, "Yan Zijin."
"Why?" Qiao Yu's face was full of interest. "Is it because his mercenary hunting team is at the top of the base rankings?"
"No." Jiang Zhan shook his head slightly, "Because Baili Zhuo is prouder than Yan Zijin, but not as sharp as Yan Zijin."
The clues can be clearly seen from the attitudes of the two of them towards their team.
Although Baili Zhuo was polite, he always felt that he was superior to others and thought that they were just a second-level team and not to be feared.
Although Yan Zijin had not dealt with them many times, he never concealed the vigilance and fear in his eyes.
Jiang Zhan had looked into his eyes twice, and his sharpness had far exceeded his imagination.
What should I call it?
Beastly instinct?
After hearing Jiang Zhan's evaluation of the two, Qiao Yu's smile deepened. "So what do you think... is Yan Zijin a good person?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhan looked at Qiao Yu quietly, "Ayu wants to form an alliance with them?"
Qiao Yu chuckled and moved closer to Jiang Zhan, giving him a kiss. "The one who understands me best is Ah Zhan."
Just as he was about to stand up, Jiang Zhan grabbed the back of his head and pushed him back down.
"Um... Ah Zhan, you haven't answered my question yet..."
Qiao Yu noticed that Jiang Zhan's hand had dishonestly reached into her clothes and was slowly drawing circles on her waistline. She couldn't help but feel alarmed. She quickly pushed him away a little and asked anxiously.
Jiang Zhan's eyes were filled with lust, but he paused and replied softly, "Yes."
Then, regardless of Qiao Yu's resistance, he dragged her into the quilt.
In the midst of passion, Qiao Yu was still distractedly thinking, Chu Yike please don't come to talk to them now...
