Chapter 59: Q General's Speculation

  I looked at Ah Tian, he lowered his head and poked at the empty bowl with chopsticks. I could also feel his embarrassment. If this matter really had to be told to Grandpa Su, then it would basically be a big lie. And this lie was really hard to cover up.

  Looking at Ah Tian who was speaking fluently just now, he suddenly became dumb. Old Man Su smiled triumphantly: "Do you know Lamborghini?"

  A Tian was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Got it, got it. First mention the special forces' Old Lan Bo."

  "He has a trick when interrogating others, making them stare tightly into his eyes. This makes it difficult for the person being questioned to calm down and tell lies. Now, I want you to look into my eyes."

  Ah Tian looked up and saw him, still smiling: "Grandpa, you have more wrinkles than the last time I saw you."

  "Stop talking nonsense. Let's start from the beginning. What do you all know?"

  "General Q's surname is Qin, and he's related to the incident where Su Haicheng sacrificed himself. If our investigation is correct, he should be one of the commanding officers who participated in this mission with Su Haicheng. He must have held a position like this or higher for many years. He was involved in the mountain blasting and water diversion project decades ago, as well as the handling of the village incident nine years ago, including giving direct or indirect orders to soldiers participating in the task to cremate on the spot after a car accident. He also participated in the mission that Su Haicheng and others were involved in a few months ago. Grandfather, this time, although the media didn't report it, the entire village was killed and it was all blocked out. But last time, there was news coverage and even scientists went to study it, making an official explanation. If we follow this line of investigation, General Q shouldn't be hard to find, right?"

  After I finished speaking, both Ah Tian and Kakashi looked at me in surprise.

  Grandfather Su also nodded after a few seconds, casually adjusting the sleeves of his Tang suit and said: "Chen Siyi, you are indeed more formidable than what Suyun and I had imagined. You were actually able to investigate up to this point."

  I didn't let Ah Tian say it, but I said it myself. Also, I didn't follow Grandpa Su's request to start from the beginning, but instead focused on this Q General. Before we set off, Grandpa Su had invited several leaders of the military district for dinner. From here, it can be seen that Grandpa Su was also investigating this matter. This Q General, he knew about it beforehand, and if he wants to investigate, it shouldn't be difficult.

  And I directly said these things, first to prevent Grandfather from asking questions from the beginning, and secondly, regarding this General Q, he would also know that our purpose for entering the mountain this time is for Su Haicheng. Su Haicheng is his only grandson, even if he considers his grandson's death as a heroic sacrifice, but in his heart, he must be anxious to get to the truth. I used this clue to attract him to investigate this matter. In fact, I was just taking a gamble. It's uncertain whether Grandfather Su would temporarily forget the questions he asked us at the beginning.

  After all, this General Q should be a key point among key points.

  After saying all this, my palms were wet with sweat and cold sweat dripped from my forehead.

  "Indeed, Old Master Su let out a cold hum and said: "You took our family's money to give birth to this child. You have no relation with our family. Fourth One, Grandfather knows you truly love Haicheng, and you want to get to the truth of things. But sometimes, the truth isn't that simple. And it's not something you can investigate further. I'm telling you now, I don't permit you to continue investigating this matter, this is where it ends! Alright, Fourth One, don't forget to go to the hospital tomorrow afternoon. Ah Tian, help me send Fourth One back."

  "Yes, sir!" Ah Tian hastily stood up and saluted, saying.

  Su Ye stood up like this. Xiao Zhong hurried forward to support him, and said in a low voice: "General, look, don't get angry anymore. Didn't the doctor say that if you're happy, you can live to be 100 years old? If you get angry again and end up in the hospital, how will I explain it to the old leaders?"

  "They didn't let me off easy either! Hmph!"

  Grandfather Su and Xiao Zhong left, Kaka Xi came up to me: "Fourth Sister, Fourth Sister, you're so cool. This logic, this analysis, you didn't mention it to us before."

  "I'm also anxious, if I didn't say so, there would be too many things that can't be explained." After making sure they had left from the doorway, I lowered my voice and asked: "What about Su Haicheng?"

  A Tian also sat down, patting his chest and said: "I don't know, this is too tense. Telling a lie to Old Chief, I'm really afraid I won't do it well."

  I didn't respond to him, but in my heart I said: "Didn't we start out pretty well? Why are you now saying that you're afraid of not speaking well? If I hadn't interrupted, who knows how beautifully fabricated lies would have been made up. It's just that it's troublesome to cover them up later."

  "What about Su Haicheng?" I asked again.

  "I don't know either, we had just gotten off the car and he was still following us from behind, I don't know how he suddenly disappeared."

  "It's lucky he dodged quickly." Kakashi said, "Otherwise, he would have been caught and dissected by now. Make the call. Now can I have my tablet back? We agreed on it earlier, you scratched the screen, you owe me a new one." He stretched out his hand towards Aten.

  A Tian took out Kaka Xi's tablet from his backpack, he happily accepted it and turned it on with a smile. On the way back, at first, we were just recovering from that tense state, no one suggested turning on their phones. When the car stabilized, when I asked A Tian for my phone, he said that playing with it on the road would also expose our actions, and that he would return the phones to everyone once we got back to D city.

  We had just gotten off the car when Su Haicheng disappeared, and we were taken away for dinner.

  Now we finally have the chance to get our mobile phones back, but we also found that among the many mobile phones taken out by Tian, there is also Hai Cheng's mobile phone.

  Su Haicheng's phone wasn't turned off and put away by himself? How did it end up with Tian as well, now we're having trouble getting in touch with him.

  Kakaxi somewhat carelessly turned it on over there, saying: "Su is already a big shot. What are you still worried about him for? You should worry about how you'll deal with the hospital's examination tomorrow."

  I looked at Ah Tian, and Ah Tian nodded: "Understood, I'll go home in a bit and call my ex-girlfriend to ask for her help. It won't be a problem."

  I also nodded, with the experience of last time, I guess there won't be any unexpected things this time.

  Kakaxi dialed the boss's phone on the other side. Although before coming back, we contacted him with a public phone and knew he was already back, but at this time, it's still good to report safety to him. After all, he is our teacher, directly related to whether we can graduate or not.

  Kakaxi said with a smile in the phone: "Boss, we're back. You didn't report us missing, did you? ... We haven't returned to school yet. As soon as we got off the bus, Su's grandfather invited us to dinner. He was consoling us... Oh, he doesn't know where he went. Anyway, it's better for us to pretend he's still in that mountain tunnel under the lake."

  Kakashi's expression changed slightly, and he quickly got up to close the door. When he came back, he turned on the speaker of his phone. Then we all heard the boss's voice coming from the phone.

  "That day when I answered the phone, you were using a public phone. At that time, I was waiting at the door of the principal's office to ask for leave, and I didn't have a chance to talk to you. On the day I returned from there, I heard people say that two charred bodies had floated up on the lake surface. I guessed it might be related to you. This matter has been exposed by someone online, but can't be found in official news. Is it related to you?"

  Two charred corpses floating on the lake surface? I reckon it was when Kakashi and I passed through that passage, we disrupted the balance there, letting the corpses float freely, and indeed, two of them floated up.

  After telling the boss that they would be right back, Kakashi hung up the phone and started searching for news on his tablet.
