How unlucky were we to meet such a scoundrel?
Little uncle was also fuming with anger, but there was nothing he could do.
Suddenly, a static sound came from the computer, followed by a loud bang.
Qu Hao took out his communicator and called, “Report the results! Report the results!”
A reply came from the communicator. “Reporting, Chief Qu! Mission accomplished! Reporting, Chief Qu! Mission Accomplished!”
“Retreat! Be careful of any tricks!” Qu Hao ordered.
We all looked at him.
He put down his communicator and looked at us innocently. “What’s wrong? We’ve snatched Lin Nan and found Tong Zhuo’s approximate location. A bomb has been dropped. It might not cause too much damage, but it might be of some use.”
My little uncle was speechless as he shook his head.
Jing Tian was displeased. “Why did you snatch Lin Nan back?”
Qu Hao was very certain. “To do research! It was her own fault that she turned into a poisonous person. She will be the perfect living specimen for Mr. Li to study. It’s not like we can use a living person as an experiment. This is a specimen delivered to our doorstep. Don’t waste it.”
Jing Tian said helplessly, “How do you know Tong Zhuo didn’t send her here on purpose and then use public opinion to suppress us? If she can’t be saved, we’ll be the ones who killed her. If she can be saved… Even if she’s saved, her life won’t be good, right?”
Qu Hao was a little surprised. It was obvious that he hadn’t expected such an outcome.
My little uncle said coldly, “In this world, we’re not afraid of strong enemies but weak teammates.”
Qu Hao countered, “As long as we have a clear conscience, we’ll be fine!”
Jing Tian rolled his eyes at him and didn’t say anything else.
I helped Qu Hao out of his predicament. “What’s done is done. Who cares?”
Qu Hao let out a sigh of relief. “Nanxing is the one who understands the situation the most.”
Xiaoyi knocked on the door and came in. He looked around. In the end, he said to me, “Sister Xing, we’ve brought her here. The bomb has been defused. We’re afraid that there might be other dangers, so we’ve placed her in Room 2. Why don’t we use the surveillance cameras to observe her first?”
I praised her. “Xiaoyi, your thoughts are really getting more and more meticulous!”
Xiaoyi was a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and went away.
Gao Jing opened the surveillance cameras in Room 2.
Lin Nan lay quietly on the gurney.
“Is she dead?” Gao Da looked at her for a while and whispered.
“Move the camera closer. Let me see her face.” I stared at Lin Nan and felt that something was wrong.
Gao Jing shook his head. “This is the best I can do. Is there anything wrong?”
I stared at Lin Nan and said softly, “Why do I feel like she’s smiling?”
The camera’s angle was aimed at Lin Nan’s face. Gao Jing said, “You’re making my hair stand on end. Why would she be smiling? Isn’t she poisoned?”
I turned around to look at the others. Everyone was looking at Lin Nan very seriously. They shook their heads and denied my misconception.
I sighed. “I was probably too nervous.”
Jing Tian said, “Just to be careful, don’t let Mr. Li go over yet. He is not a fighter. We can’t afford to let anything happen to him. Gao Da, let someone go in and lock this woman up. It’ll be safer. Then, let Lin Hua go in.”
Jing Tian instinctively rejected Lin Nan. The anger that he felt from being schemed against hadn’t faded away yet.
“Invite Mr. Li over. Let’s observe for a while first.” Everyone still took my observation seriously. This made me feel a little more at ease.
