Chapter 48 You Are Escaping
In response to Zhang Sen's rebuttal, Lü Jiangnan did not answer directly, but instead smiled at him with deep meaning.
Seeing Lü Jiangnan's expression, Zhang Sen's head suddenly became big!
If there are two people in the world who understand Lü Jiangnan, and one of them is himself, then the other person is undoubtedly Zhang Sen, who slept on the upper and lower bunks with him for four years and was unexpectedly selected by the National Security Bureau to be sent to Japan together for a special mission in their senior year!
Zhang Sen knew that once Lü Jiangnan made this expression, it meant he was at least 80% sure about something!
At this moment, Zhang Sen glared at Lü Jiangnan with a bad temper and a hint of tension. However, Lü Jiangnan lifted his spirits, calmly picked up the coffee, and savored it with ease!
Zhang Senqiang suppressed the urge to scold him, and thought about the various possibilities of Ma Pei's relationship with the Dark Night Gate in his heart, but no matter what, he couldn't connect the two.
Just as I was feeling depressed, I suddenly heard Lü Jiangnan's voice: "First come first served, this is also an unavoidable thing. No matter how excellent the police officer is, once they are involved with someone they have trusted for many years, they will be at a loss for a while. You can't even think clearly now, because in your subconscious mind, you don't believe that Ma Pei would have any problems at all, right?"
Zhang Sen nodded subconsciously, but when he looked up, he saw the other person's playful expression and couldn't help but smile wryly: "Cut the crap, just say it already."
Lü Jiangnan also smiled, he could see that Zhang Sen's patience was already at the limit, after all, Zhang Sen's bare-handed black belt exceeded eight segments and approached nine segments of skill, which he knew too well.
In those four years at the police academy, the two of them had fought over 200 major battles and over 500 minor skirmishes, with Zhang Sen emerging victorious almost every time. His skills in empty-handed combat and free fighting were unmatched, always ranking first in school! Not to mention his three-year undercover stint, where he faced life-or-death situations, and his experience starting martial arts training at the age of five, winning numerous awards, which earned him a spot among the top three in the national public security personnel martial arts competition. If he didn't speak up, Zhang Sen might just give him a demonstration of his skills, like an "over-the-shoulder throw" or a "back kick", leaving him with some painful bruises. His own fighting skills were not bad either, but he couldn't guarantee that he could withstand Zhang Sen's attacks, and he didn't want to leave G City with a humiliating story to tell.
He rubbed his nose, smiled leisurely, and said seriously: "You're escaping! Your subconscious is escaping the 'but' I just told you! Escaping the 'but' that I repeatedly asked you to pay attention to! Think back carefully to the conversation between Ling Ziyu sisters that you overheard, as well as the content of the instructions given to them by 'Changjiang'.
Ling Ziwei's initial target was you, and it was because of Ma Pei that Ouyang Feifei was added. However, if there was no Ma Pei, you wouldn't have gone to "Dream Paris" in the first place, so where did Ling Ziwei's mission come from? How could she possibly get close to you at "Dream Paris"? Moreover, according to the information Xu Ju found, it is very likely that the other party also arranged for people to approach you two at the places Ma Pei would appear, and the time is roughly the same as when Ling Ziwei and her sister arrived in the city.
"If Ma Pei really had no problem, and if he decided to go with you to the city just two days before your departure, how could the other party have set everything up half a month ago? How would they have known that Ma Pei was going to the city?"
Zhang Sen rubbed his slightly swollen forehead and muttered, "Yeah, how did they know that Ma Pei would call me in half a month because of a bad mood to drink? How did they know I'd tell Ma Pei that I'm going to the city? And how did they know Ma Pei would want to go with me and set everything up half a month ago?"
Lv Jiangnan sighed and said with a hint of blame, "Ah Sen, it's not that I'm saying you're wrong, but our identities are special, and the nature of our work dictates that we can't reveal our whereabouts to anyone outside. Not even our loved ones are allowed to know. This is a discipline that was drilled into us in police school, how could you so casually tell Ma Pei your whereabouts? With all your years of experience, how could you make such a rookie mistake?"
"I admit it was my fault. To be honest, this is the first time I've made such a mistake. At that time, I was dealing with some things at hand, so I was speaking very casually to Ma Pei. Moreover, I have never had any guard against Ma Pei, because based on my understanding of him, he knows the nature of my work and would absolutely not say anything inappropriate to outsiders, so it just slipped out."
Looking at Zhang Sen's self-reproaching appearance, Lü Jiangnan couldn't help but feel some sympathy: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Ah Sen, do you still remember the third force we mentioned that day?"
