Now, after listening to Si Yang's detailed account of what happened back then, he wished he could skin that vicious woman alive.
However, Pei Tingyu's mood was inexplicably complicated. He stared lazily at the cinnabar mole at the corner of her eye with a dark and unclear look.
"Even if your explanation barely makes sense, how did you seriously injure the two spies in the poplar forest? Why did you deliberately conceal it?"
Sure enough, it still comes back to this matter. This Pei Tingyu is really difficult to deal with.
Now that the atmosphere has reached this point, it might be a good idea to reveal a little bit. At least you don't have to feel constrained trying to hide your abilities.
"Yes, I was the one who stabbed them with a knife, but does that mean I'm a spy?"
Si Yang's cold and aloof tone was totally unlike that of an eighteen-year-old girl. The faint smile in her eyes gave her an inexplicably mature and cold charm.
"As far as I know, you were not on the list of the food delivery team. What were you doing in the woods?"
Si Yang held his forehead helplessly. "I was abused by my adoptive mother before. I stayed in that cold and gloomy place for too long, and my body was affected by the cold. Every winter, my whole body would be freezing. I heard that there was ginseng in that forest, and eating ginseng in winter can greatly replenish vitality, so I thought I would try my luck. But I didn't find any ginseng, but I met two scumbags."
What Si Yang said was not false. The original owner had indeed developed some illnesses due to the cold.
Pei Tingyu was momentarily distracted, then suddenly retracted his gaze. "Based on the skills of those two, not to mention you, a woman, even your brother might not be able to handle them both at the same time. This is enough to show that your skills are not simple."
"Captain, stop praising me. I'm not that formidable. As the saying goes, the weak are afraid of the strong, and the strong are afraid of the desperate. I was just risking my life. Plus, they were trapped in the woods for so long that their bodies were frozen stiff, so naturally they weren't very agile. That's why I was lucky enough to subdue them."
Pei Tingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes darkened a little. "Then why did you deliberately conceal it, even deliberately misleading me, to prevent me from finding out the truth?"
Si Yang curved his lips and smiled calmly, "Because I don't want to be selected by Captain Pei to join that armed group. I just want to herd sheep on the pasture and live a life of leisure."
"Salted fish? What does that mean?"
Both men frowned.
"I'm just someone who has nothing to do and is superfluous, like lying around and herding sheep. I like that kind of life."
Si Yang's words were not false at all. Being a salted fish was her ideal life.
"Company commander, do you dare to say that you parachuted down here not to form an armed group?" Si Yang asked seriously.
Pei Tingyu's mind suddenly emerged the scene of seeing her lying down, eating melon seeds and herding sheep.
He sneered playfully, "You are quite cunning."
"I just had a miserable time over the past decade or so, so I want to be more relaxed and at ease in the future." Si Yang regained his innocence, gently tugged at Pei Tingyu's sleeve, and pleaded eagerly, "Captain, will you grant my wish?"
Pei Tingyu did not answer her, but looked up at Qin Lingxiao and saw that his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Joining the armed group is a testament to your abilities and an opportunity to serve the country. Yet, you only think about being lazy and indolent. You are truly bringing shame to the Qin family."
Si Yang paused after hearing this, then blurted out, "Then I won't be named Qin from now on. I'm not from your Qin family anyway. Tomorrow I'll go to the Hundred Family Surnames and pick a surname at random. Whichever one sounds good is fine. It's free enough!"
"Qin Siyang——"
Qin Lingxiao was so angry that his fists were clenched into pieces. If he hadn't thought of Si Yang's miserable childhood, he really wouldn't have been able to bear the slap.
Pei Tingyu almost laughed out loud when he saw this man who was usually as steady as a mountain and never showed his emotions, but today he was so angry at his sister that he lost his composure one after another.
Si Yang raised the corners of his lips and looked at the two men and said, "If you don't have any other evidence to prove that I am a spy, let me go! It's time for me to eat..." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
