Chapter 128 Lin Ling's affected manner
When Lin Ling walked out of the interrogation room, she saw Tang Haoran waiting to the side.
"Captain Tang, thank you for today." Lin Ling stepped forward to express her gratitude.
Tang Haoran coughed lightly, "No need to be polite. Um, where's the weapon?"
"I'll send it to you tomorrow." Lin Ling smiled slightly and continued, "I'll need Captain Tang's help again."
"Oh, Deputy Captain Lin, tell me about it."
In fact, Tang Haoran had guessed what Lin Ling wanted.
"I need to know the truth about this and whether there is someone behind it."
"An investigation is fine, but we need to add five more supernatural weapons."
Tang Haoran was originally a very serious person, but because he was tricked by Zuo You, a shrewd businessman, so many times, he actually became quite clever.
Lin Ling remained silent. She wasn't very good at bargaining, but five weapons was an outrageous demand.
Lin Ling was too lazy to waste words and turned to leave, which made Tang Haoran anxious.
"Hey, hey, hey, three superpowered weapons it is!" Tang Haoran shouted as he chased after them.
Lin Ling remained unmoved and continued walking back, saying, "Two of them, two supernatural weapons, that's the most I can get."
"One, take it or leave it. You know how rare and precious supernatural weapons are, and you're not the only one who can investigate this. I'm just too lazy to spend the time." Lin Ling said mercilessly.
Tang Haoran watched as Lin Ling rambled on and on, but was defeated. No wonder Jian Hong, who was such a talkative person, always got the short end of the stick from them.
He was actually aware of the scarcity of superpowered weapons. If they resold them, their team wouldn't even need to go out to collect crystal cores.
He hesitated for two seconds, then Tang Haoran nodded in agreement.
This shouldn't be difficult for him. He can do this business. He seems to have discovered a way to make money. He'll wait for Jian Hong to come back and discuss it with him properly.
As soon as Lin Ling got home, she lay down on the sofa and acted like a complete idiot. What happened today wasn't exactly unexpected.
When Zuo You and her group arrived at the N City base, even if they tried to keep a low profile, they would still be spotted by those with ulterior motives.
Three women and a dog—to outsiders, they were nothing short of easy prey.
If Zuo You hadn't revealed her true strength at the right time, scaring away some people, they would probably have had even more trouble.
Tang Haoran provided the information very quickly; within two hours, Lin Ling knew the whole story.
Jiang Daxing had his own forces. Because he was so hungry for dog meat, he sent his underlings to steal it. Of course, he didn't expect his underlings to actually steal the dog; he just wanted to find an excuse to lock them up.
At that point, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wants?
He was originally just an unofficial member of the government. In the two months since the apocalypse, because he was a power-type awakener, the base's higher-ups had to give him some face, which made him a little arrogant.
He coveted Zuo You's three women and also craved dog meat. Instigated by his subordinates, he set his sights on Zuo You and the others.
Lin Ling finally relaxed after realizing that there was no one behind this.
Not long after Tang Haoran left, the villa door opened, and the two people and the dog immediately turned around and stared at Zuo You as she entered.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Zuo You asked, completely bewildered.
"Youyou! You're finally back!" Lin Ling rushed into Zuo You's arms like a little rabbit, her sobs filled with grievance.
Zuo You stroked her back, her heart skipping a beat. "Don't cry, tell me what happened? I'll get revenge for you."
"Woooo..."
On Zuo You's shoulder, Lin Ling's small face was still as beautiful as ever, with not a trace of tears on her fair and radiant face.
In reality, it was all talk and no action; all she did was cry. She kept trying to wink at An Yingying and Gouzi, trying to make them look more aggrieved.
An Yingying and Gouzi recalled the unfair treatment they had just received, and without any pretense, their faces instantly showed a layer of grievance.
Who knew that Zuo You didn't even look at the two of them.
She gently patted Lin Ling's back to comfort her, saying softly, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here for you."
Zuo You put her hands on Lin Ling's shoulders, trying to pull her off. What kind of bastard bullied Lin Ling?
Seeing this, Lin Ling, who was perched on her shoulder, quickly took out the eye drops she had prepared and used them as artificial eye drops.
In the rush, I accidentally sprayed eye drops all over my face.
Seeing Lin Ling's tearful appearance, Zuo You chuckled inwardly, sensing Lin Ling's earlier behavior!
To cooperate with Lin Ling, she pretended to be furious, wiped away Lin Ling's tears, and turned to look at An Yingying and Gouzi.
"You two tell me what happened this afternoon."
An Yingying and Gouzi gave a lively demonstration, replaying what had happened earlier.
After listening to the whole thing, Zuo You's face fell, as if the whole world owed her eight million.
"You stay at home, I'm going to find Tang Haoran."
"Don't go!" Lin Ling pulled Zuo You to sit on the sofa, feigning weakness, and took Zuo You's arm, resting her head on her shoulder, saying in a affected manner, "I've already asked Captain Tang to help investigate, but I'm really upset. You weren't here just now, it scared me to death!"
As she spoke, she patted her chest lightly, looking as if she was still in shock.
An Yingying and Gouzi could no longer stand Lin Ling's affected manner. She had just been acting like a cold and aloof older sister, but now she was turning into Lin Daiyu!
The man and the dog exchanged a glance and, as if on cue, retreated to the basement.
Upon hearing this, Zuo You's lips twitched! What was with Lin Ling's voice with that double-pitched tone? Why did she have such a... weirdly cute vibe?
I'm afraid I've been bewitched by her.
The possessed Zuo You listened attentively as Jia Ziyin finished recounting the investigation results, which gave her goosebumps.
"Youyou, how do you plan to resolve this?"
"Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it tonight. I want to eat bear paws, will you make them for me?"
"Okay, take the meat out, I'll go stew it now."
……
Jiang Daxing received a verbal warning from Lieutenant Colonel Wu for this incident, and he thought that the matter was over.
After all, he was one of the guard captains, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he represented the base. Moreover, he hadn't had time to do anything after arresting Lin Ling and bringing her into the guard team, so his reasoning was also plausible.
Unexpectedly, the day after the incident, Captain Jiang Daxing and all the members of his hunting teams disappeared.
No one knows where they are; they have vanished without a trace, neither alive nor dead.
For a time, the base remained tight-lipped about the matter.
Even the higher-ups were alarmed and sought out Tang Haoran to understand the situation. Tang Haoran only subtly reminded them: "It's understandable for base officials to have selfish motives, but if they are too selfish, they might offend people they shouldn't."
Tang Haoran was also wary of Zuo You. He didn't even know where the fourth-level bottleneck was, but this woman had already reached the fourth level, and her advancement speed was extremely fast.
He also knew about Zuo You and Jian Hong's encounter with the fourth-order mutated zombie.
According to Jian Hong, Zuo You can instantly kill a fourth-tier mutated zombie, which is terrifying.
The base's higher-ups understood Tang Haoran's unspoken meaning.
The higher-ups held several meetings on this matter. Some suggested incorporating Zuo You and the others into their ranks, while others suggested a more conciliatory approach. After all, Tang Haoran would certainly not miss the opportunity to be incorporated.
The high-level representative asked Tang Haoran to act as a go-between and arrange a meeting with Zuo You.
No one knows what the two sides talked about. The next day, Zuo You registered a hunting team at the Awakener Management Center. The team consisted of Zuo You as the captain, Lin Ling as the vice-captain, and An Yingying and Er Dan as members.
The team is called the Left and Right Team, and they usually keep such a low profile that they are virtually unknown.
