Chapter 167: Showdown with Xiao Ting
I didn't dwell on it, and although I couldn't believe that Jack would do something to me, he was the only suspect, and I had to guard against him. I won't go through this matter, I want to see how he will behave. However, Jack's performance was very calm, and he did not look like a thief at all.
I quickly told Jack and Xiao Ting about the new grouping decision. Jack didn't react, he took it for granted. Xiao Ting was obviously dissatisfied with this grouping, but seeing my weak expression, she didn't show too strong opposition, but insisted on saying, "I need an explanation." ”
Xiao Ting's attitude was already very unexpected to me, and I immediately said to her: "Yes, I will talk to you about this matter alone." ”
Then I told Jack and Siew Ting about the possibility of the Vietnamese being picked up in groups, which was one of the main reasons why the four of us acted separately. Of course, the purpose of my initial group was to leave a group of people searching for clues about Cao Mingzhe.
Finally, I casually asked Jack, "AOE knows, let's meet in Zhenfeng." ”
Jack shrugged and said, "Of course, I asked them to bring the search and rescue team and supplies here." Whether it is Beipanjiang Town or Bangui Township, it is not suitable to be our base camp. I also reported to them the location of the hotel, and the first batch of supplies will probably arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. ”
The fat man kept his head down and kept silent, and after listening to Jack's words, I saw that his eyes suddenly lit up, and a fierce light flashed. I didn't want to see anything unpleasant happen here, so I coughed and said, "You guys just came here and worked the road, take a break, and talk about it tomorrow." ”
The fat man got up and left, and he forgot to even do the matter of offering hospitality to Xiao Ting. Xiao Ting glanced at me. I understood what she meant, and was asking me for the Dharma. I nodded to her slightly, and Xiao Ting reluctantly went upstairs.
I didn't stand up because Jack tugged me under the table and motioned for me to stay and have something to say.
Watching the fat man and Xiao Ting turn around the staircase, Jack leaned closer to me and said, "There is a certain risk for the two of us to act together with the Vietnamese Gang, doesn't Song Gang have an M16 there?" Let's use it for self-defense. ”
I smiled and said, "That's the fat man's stuff, I don't think it counts, you can go and ask him, if he is willing to lend you that's the best." I can't help it. ”
Jack smiled awkwardly at this, shrugged his shoulders and walked away. I don't think he will hit a wall, and after he and the fat man got to know each other, they got on each other's bars, as if they had a grudge in their previous life. It is impossible for him to beg the fat man.
I walked to the elevator and saw the fat man leaning against the wall smoking, and it seemed that he was really worried about Jack. When he saw me coming, he immediately asked me, "What did he tell you?" ”
"He wants to borrow your M16."
"You promised?"
"I'll ask him to ask for you."
The fat man snorted and walked into the elevator. I walked out of the elevator first on the floor where Xiao Ting lived, and the fat man asked me, "Where are you going?" ”
"Let me explain to Xiao Ting, don't go wrong when the time comes."
The fat man hurriedly said, "You tell Xiao Ting..."
"It's nothing wrong with you." I interrupted him and walked to Xiao Ting's room, I didn't want to be a mouthpiece between them. There was a disgruntled roar of the fat man from behind.
I knocked on Xiao Ting's door, Xiao Ting knew that I was coming, and did not change her clothes. But still blushing and letting me into the room. The two of us sat on the bamboo chair in front of the window, Xiao Ting's attitude was very restrained, and even a little nervous. It was a standard room, and there was a double bed in front of us, and I guess that hinted at it made her nervous.
I didn't want to cause her more tension, let alone cause misunderstanding, so I immediately gave her an explanation.
"I didn't run into any thieves, the wound on my chin was worse than I said, and here." As I spoke, I unbuttoned my two shirts, revealing the bandages wrapped around my chest. "A knife to the sternum, a little bit or my bones aren't so hard, I won't be here to talk to you now."
Xiao Ting didn't expect me to show her this, let alone that my injury was so serious, I saw her tears flowing down directly, and her hands were shaking. Although I could not bear to look at her like this, it was necessary for me to tell her the gravity of the matter, lest she should make a misjudgment by despising the hidden enemy.
"This person's death hand against me is that he wants my life, and my life is not my life if I don't die. I don't think he's just going to do it to me, you're just as dangerous. I now wonder who you told Jack that you told me about after I told you and Jack to change the place of their meeting, even if you didn't mean to mention it. After saying this, I stared at Xiao Ting's eyes.
"No, I didn't say anybody, and I didn't call."
"Well, only the four of us who know about this matter, you, me and the fat man have not leaked the location of Zhenfeng, and the only one who said this location is Jack. Do you know Jack? ”
Xiao Ting shook her head blankly. "I don't know him, but I don't believe he's going to kill you."
"Frankly, I don't believe it's him. But I had to suspect him, at least he was. Of course, the AOE behind him is more suspicious. Whoever tried to kill me, I could only face it, and it was impossible to escape. I'm worried that their target will still be you, because I don't have such a deadly personal enemy, they want to kill me for only one purpose, and that is to prevent me from investigating Xiao Guolin's whereabouts or this incident, if I guess correctly, you will definitely be one of the targets. We have to have one of us as bait to lure the opponent out, and I'm more suitable than you. ”
Xiao Ting heard me say this and stood up emotionally. I made a quiet gesture to sit her down.
"I didn't die when he attacked me, and I wouldn't capsize if I was prepared. Let you be in a group with the fat man, first of all, for your safety, and the most important thing is to rely on the two of you to answer and protect me. The fat man is rough, but I can trust it, and I can only rest assured that you are with him. You have a mission with him, to restrain him. ”
My words made Xiao Ting's face ugly, it seems that Xiao Ting has little confidence in restraining the fat man. But someone has to do this, the fat man is not a human temper, my attack on him this time has stimulated him a lot, if someone else really follows us behind, it will definitely be a life-and-death fight if he finds out. I can't restrain him by his side, so I can only entrust this matter to Xiao Ting.
"Don't be afraid of him, especially when he's playing tricks. He belongs to the kind of character who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, and when you are tougher than him and more insistent than him, he will listen to you. You don't have to worry that he will get rid of you, he doesn't dare to do it, maybe he will use this excuse to threaten you, this is his usual trick. At this time, you must persevere, and if you hold on, he will compromise. ”
"Are you betraying him?" Xiao Ting suddenly asked such an embarrassing question.
I blushed and said, "No." It's for his good. ”
"Okay, I'll try. What do you want me to restrain him? There's always a directional hint. ”
"You'll know then, you don't need a hint, it's too obvious." I took a deep breath. Hopefully, nothing irreversible will happen.
PS: It's Sunday again, and the support on Monday is very important, so please don't be stingy, thank you.
