Chapter 35: The Mercenaries of the Year
Jin Lingling was silent for a moment, raised her head to look at Pang Jindong, and said word by word: "Actually, I already knew what the relationship between you and Sister Yaoyao was. I checked all your files and found that Sister Yaoyao's household registration was in your family until she was a teenager until you emigrated with your family. ”
Pang Jindong sighed and asked, "But why don't you say it!"
"Because ......" Jin Lingling said this, lowered her head again, and her voice became very low: "Because I want to know what the relationship between the two of you is!"
"So, when you met Shen Jiayao here that day, you became suspicious?"
"Yes! Because of the relationship between the two of you, I wonder why Sister Yaoyao is so cold to you. She said that the company had something to deal with, and asking you to go back with her was simply a lie. Sister Yaoyao is a very dedicated person, if the company really has something, she will not accept Chen Gongzi's invitation to come out for dinner. In other words, the two of you must have gone out together to deal with things. ”
"So you can assume that I'm part of it. ”
"Not only that, but you're also the mastermind!"
At this time, Pang Jindong already admired Jin Lingling. Professor Chen has always appeared in Wang Li's case, Shen Jiayao has only been directly involved once, and Pang Jindong has never appeared. Finding out the truth of the case requires enough wisdom and observation, and Jin Lingling goes one step further and is able to find out what is hidden behind the scenes according to some clues, which also requires careful logical reasoning.
Pang Jindong laughed and said to Jin Lingling: "You really have confidence in me!"
"Sister Yaoyao doesn't have such scheming, but you do!"
Pang Jindong looked at Jin Lingling, nodded incessantly, and said: "Lingling, you are too impulsive and inexperienced, if you take time, you will be a very good policeman!" After a pause, Pang Jindong continued: "If you have the opportunity, you will be an even better soldier!"
"Thank you for the compliment!" Jin Lingling clenched her fists and shook Pang Jindong, recovering her playful and cute appearance in the past.
However, the conversation between the two did not get easier, because Jin Lingling decided to get to the point. She said slowly: "You told me about your history, I promised to keep it secret for you, and I did." But I want you to tell me the whole truth. ”
Pang Jindong turned his head sideways, no longer looked at Jin Lingling, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Lingling, although the acquaintance between us may not be very pleasant, I admit that I like you very much!"
Hearing the word "like", Jin Lingling's face turned red and lowered her head deeply.
Pang Jindong did not react to Jin Lingling's expression, but continued: "Especially after you made an accurate analysis of Wang Li's case, I have a new understanding of you. Therefore, out of the sake of protecting you, I am not willing to tell you everything. In this world, it is better not to know many things than to know. ”
Jin Lingling raised her head and looked at Pang Jindong blankly, not knowing what to say. At this point, her cell phone helped her out - Thompson called her.
"Excuse me, beautiful lady, are you busy right now?" Thompson's well-rounded British accent made it difficult for anyone with a good level of English to communicate with him.
Jin Lingling glanced at Pang Jindong and replied, "I'm not busy with anything." Is there anything you can do?"
"I'm in the largest antiques market in your country, and I'd love to bring some antiques back to collect, but I'm worried about ......"
"Got it! You wait for me there, I'll be there in ten minutes!" Jin Lingling said, and hung up the phone.
"Is there something wrong?!" Pang Jindong narrowed his eyes, crossed Jin Lingling's shoulder, and looked at Qingzhu behind her.
Jin Lingling lowered her head and fiddled with her mobile phone, and replied: "Yes! A few colleagues from abroad have come to communicate, and I have been busy accompanying them in the past few days, and then I am dealing with Wang Li's case......
"Then let's meet again another day!"
"Good!"
Jin Lingling was about to call the waiter to pay, but Pang Jindong stopped her: "I'll come!"
Leaving the taste of China, Jin Lingling slowly started the car, and her mind remained on Pang Jindong's side. If someone held a car slow driving competition, she would definitely win a prize.
If Jin Lingling was asked to make a choice between Pang Jindong and Thompson, she would not hesitate to choose the former. But the conversation with Pang Jindong just now really can't continue. She even blamed herself for not asking that question to the point of ruining what should have been a nice atmosphere today.
When Jin Lingling finally arrived at the antique market, she found Thompson pacing back and forth boredly.
"Beautiful lady, there must be a lot of traffic jams on the road, right?" Thompson said with this very tactful sentence, implying that Jin Lingling had made him wait for more than an hour.
"Yes!" replied Jin Lingling absentmindedly.
With a look of longing, Thompson said to Jin Lingling: "I have always admired the greatness and profound culture of your country, so I would like to bring back some symbols of your culture so that I can show off in front of my friends." ”
"Yes!" Jin Lingling replied casually. As much as she loved to hear praise about her country, Thompson's compliments were too old-fashioned.
"Now, please be a tour guide and take me to fully appreciate the testimony of your ancient glorious civilization!"
As Thomson was talking, he suddenly felt someone gently tapping his back, and he was about to look back intuitively, but he heard a cold voice coming: "Long time no see!"
This voice was very familiar to Thompson, and Jin Lingling was no stranger to it, and the two of them turned around together and found Pang Jindong staring at Thompson with a sneer.
"Pang Jindong, ...... you" Jin Lingling still figured out what was going on for a while, and looked at Pang Jindong in surprise.
"Pang Jindong, it's been a long time!" Thompson looked calm and smiled back at Pang Jindong.
"Don't you know his Chinese name?" Jin Lingling asked Thompson strangely.
"You didn't sue me either, it turns out that you know Jerry. Thompson replied.
"He has been a mercenary with me for two years, how can he not know my Chinese name!" Pang Jindong said to Jin Lingling, and asked Thompson instead: "You're right, Tim!"
"Is he Tim?" In the story of the No. 3 Heights told by Pang Jindong, Jin Lingling knew that there was such a person as Tim, who had fought side by side with Pang Jindong.
Pang Jindong did not answer Jin Lingling, but continued to say to Thompson: "I'm sorry, maybe I should call you Agent Thompson!"
"I didn't expect that after so many years of separation, we would be able to meet again here!"
"It's an accident to me, but I'm afraid it's not! I hope you don't tell me that you're only here for tourism or research!"
"You're right, I'm here for you!" Thompson shrugged his shoulders and admitted very calmly: "What I really didn't expect is that this beautiful lady next to me actually knows you, and the world is really too small......
Pang Jindong interrupted Thompson: "However, you thought of using her to investigate me!"
Hearing this, Thompson's smile stiffened, and his right hand slowly touched his lower back.
"Don't waste your efforts, I know you're used to putting your gun on your back!" Pang Jindong noticed Thompson's action, waved his right hand, and told the other party: "Your gun is here!"
Pang Jindong held his right arm, and a piece of clothing hung on his forearm, and the length of the clothes was spread out longer than his forearm. Thompson knew that under the cover of the clothes was a gun, which Pang Jindong had stolen from him just now.
"How do you have a gun?" Jin Lingling asked Thompson in surprise.
Like Pang Jindong, Thompson did not answer Jin Lingling. He looked around and said to Pang Jindong confidently: "There are many people here, you definitely don't dare to shoot me!"
"I will!" Pang Jindong said, pointing the gun at Thompson: "But I won't kill you, but I will injure you! Then, your country will investigate why I shot an agent in public, and I will tell you everything you have done! I hope you might as well imagine how your great motherland will deal with you after knowing those things! I personally guess that it may make you worse than being killed by me, right?!"
Pang Jindong's words caused a certain deterrent to Thompson, and the latter's face turned iron-blue.
Jin Lingling looked at the two people in front of her, and gradually began to understand that not only did Pang Jindong not tell her the whole story, but Thompson was not all the truth.
"Let's talk in another place!" When he said this, Pang Jindong still kept smiling, but there was a murderous aura in this smile.
The three of them came to a remote corner, where a few parasols were propped up, and a few tables and chairs were placed underneath it, so that the tired people could rest, but there was no one else at this time.
"It's a great place to talk!" Pang said, gesturing his gun and motioning for Thompson to sit down.
After Thompson sat down, Pang Jindong sat opposite him, and the muzzle of the gun did not leave Thompson for a moment.
"Now, I can tell you something you don't know yet. Pang Jindong said to Jin Lingling, but his eyes still stayed on Thompson's face: "Tim, one of the members of the mercenary force back then, his real identity is an agent of the Drug Control Bureau of Country M. The Drug Control Bureau has the largest drug intelligence network in the world, and there are undercover agents in various drug-producing areas around the world, and Agent Thompson was the undercover agent sent to us back then. ”
"But it's not that simple, right?" asked Jin Lingling.
"That's right, because this brother is guarding himself!"
Thompson shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Do you have proof?"
