"Didn't you see how Zuo Ling and her brother made their move?"
“I wasn’t there when they clashed with the Ning family. The next day, Ning Qiang came, and I saw a member of the Ning family fall down in front of us without warning. I’m sure they didn’t do anything.”
Afterwards, Guo Qi thought about it repeatedly, but he still couldn't figure out how Zuo Ling and her brother had done it.
The leader seemed to be deep in thought: "Hmm, go on."
The method of killing without leaving a trace is astonishing enough, but what Guo Qi described later was even more astonishing.
"Stop, stop, stop! What's going on with the Rose Kingdom officers being transferred from the warship to the island?"
Guo Qi swallowed hard, thinking to himself, "I also want to know what happened," but he really didn't know what happened, so he could only recount the situation as it was.
The commander was completely confused. If Guo Qijian hadn't insisted that many people had seen it, the commander would have thought he was talking nonsense.
That day, everyone's attention was on Rose, only the translator noticed that Zuo Ling made a grabbing motion.
The translator was perceptive and kept his mouth shut, not saying a word to anyone.
"Go on, go on," the leader urged.
Upon hearing that an underwater volcano had erupted and that Zuo Ling had used her ice powers to stop the spread of volcanic ash, the leader could no longer contain himself:
"Zuo Ling has ice powers? Isn't she a plant-based power user?"
Guo Qi didn't understand why the leader would say that Zuo Ling had plant-based superpowers; he didn't know much about superpowered individuals.
"Well... I'm not sure either. Many people saw Zuo Ling use her ice powers that day. Freezing a thousand miles is a bit of an exaggeration, but freezing a mile or two is something Zuo Ling can do."
The commander was extremely puzzled; it was different from the intelligence he had received.
"You just said that Zuo Ling found some vegetable seeds for you?"
"Yes, we brought back the planting boxes. They contain sweet potatoes, potatoes, and some green vegetables, and they are growing quite well."
"Did Zuo Ling help you plant them?"
“We grew them ourselves; she only provided us with the seeds.”
"Hmm, anything else? Please continue."
Guo Qi was in a bit of a dilemma. He had said everything he knew and had seen with his own eyes; the rest was just his guess.
Seeing his predicament, the leader asked, "What's wrong? Is it hard to say?"
"Ah, no, no, it's... some of it is just my guess, it can't be taken seriously."
"It's alright, you're talking to me. How I judge it is my business."
Guo Qi recounted his suspicions about the cargo ship, its connection to Zuo Ling and her brother, and how the Poison Scorpion had sent men to bomb Tangren Village, and how Zuo Ling had said she would retaliate on their behalf.
"The reason why we suspect the cargo ship appeared out of thin air is related to Zuo Ling and her brother."
"There wasn't a single body on the cargo ship. How is that possible? Absolutely not! If there are supplies, there must be people. But when we saw the cargo ship, there were no people or bodies except for the supplies. It was spotless. Someone must have cleaned it up."
Guo Qi hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Before the cargo ship appeared, I had no doubts. After the cargo ship incident, I started to think that the supplies in the cave were also placed there in advance by them."
The leader smiled:
"Doesn't that mean that Zuo Ling and her brother are your saviors?"
Guo Qi nodded seriously:
"They were truly saviors, and I'm very grateful to them, but alas... sigh!"
Guo Qi sighed as he thought of the villagers' insults directed at Zuo Ling.
"how?"
"No...it's nothing. Some people are blind and can't recognize gold inlaid with jade."
Guo Qi briefly recounted the things the villagers had said to Zuo Ling:
"And so, they distanced themselves from us, unwilling to associate with us. While on the island, they lived separately, and when we left, they didn't come with us. But when we encountered danger, they still showed up, it's just a pity..."
Unfortunately, once the danger was over, they disappeared again.
Guo Qi still can't believe that Zuo Ling and her brother, with their abilities, would die at the hands of the Japanese. But where could they possibly be hiding?
