"What? Does practicing with a gun bother you? Nowadays, many people practice with guns!" the other party said calmly.
Song Ning shook her head, "The callus on your index finger is not just on the sides, but almost covers the entire index finger. You don't just practice with a handgun, you also practice with a rifle."
There might be many people who practice with handguns, but the group that practices both handguns and rifles long-term can almost be pinpointed.
No wonder she was so confident.
"Pan Tuozi" quietly scrutinized her, and after a long while, he clicked his tongue, "Alright! What else?"
"I heard human traffickers say that the situation is very tense lately! When I saw you guys openly preying on each other just now, I found it strange. 'Brother Da' fears the Public Security Bureau, and Pan Tuozi should fear them too! For him to show off at this critical juncture is seeking his own death! It goes against common sense! Then, when I saw these two 'younger brothers' make their move, I made a judgment..."
"They used standard military grappling techniques. Although their moves were fierce, they consciously avoided vital points, which is very different from the conduct of the rumored gangs! So... I wanted to come over and confirm!"
The people around were all shocked. They had broken through here with their "black eats black" approach, unstoppable and triumphant!
They never expected this girl... to see through it at a glance.
"Pan Tuozi" tilted his head, stared at her for a moment, pushed his tongue against his cheek, and chuckled:
"Fine! Seeing how confident you are, I've already been in your grasp, haven't I? And you even went through all this trouble to act it out with me!"
Song Ning couldn't help but smile. Although she had determined the identities of these people step by step, she did want to see how far this "boss" could act...
The facts proved... the "boss" didn't even dare to start!
..
Laughter erupted from the surroundings again. Compared to the earlier heckling, the laughter was much more sincere.
At this moment, the man stood up straight, reached out, and pushed back the hair that had been covering his eyes. As his hair lifted, it revealed a smooth forehead and a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, along with a smiling face.
He took a step forward and extended his hand to her—
"Gu Zheng! The captain of this anti-gang operation! You truly... gave us a big 'surprise'!"
Song Ning also extended her hand to him—
"Song Ning! It's a pleasure to meet you all here! You can ask me any questions you have, and I will cooperate as much as possible!"
So Gu Zheng put his hands on his hips and looked her up and down again, frowning and asking:
"First question, how did you, who are so bold and slippery, get abducted by human traffickers?"
Song Ning paused...
This question... was too to the point!
She knew Gu Zheng's suspicion was reasonable, so she could only chuckle dryly and answer, "I had a fever for several days before, my head was unclear, and I was groggy... I didn't expect to fall into their trap!"
The fever was a fact; whether it was before or after being abducted was up to her to decide.
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes, but didn't dwell on it, and continued to ask, "Second question, why do you know so much about the military, and know it in such detail?"
Song Ning paused again...
Why do I know so much about the military?
Because I grew up in the military since childhood!
Others enlisted when they reached a certain age; she was "enlisted" from birth!
Because her father's lifelong wish was to join the army, but he couldn't pass the political review after growing up. He went into scientific research but couldn't let go of his obsession with joining the army, so he found a female military officer to be her mother.
The result was that her military officer mother gave birth to her in the military and raised her in the military. She grew up on the military training grounds.
Therefore, her lifelong wish was also to enlist.
When other girls were learning to dance or paint, she was running five kilometers with a loaded pack and practicing military boxing with new recruits.
When she reached the age to enlist, her political review still failed!
The reason was the same as her father's, due to the case involving her grandfather, Old Man Song, many years ago.
Even with a military officer mother, she couldn't pass the political review.
Her grandfather's case became an obsession for the Song family.
Since she couldn't enlist, she studied medicine and later opened a hospital, and not just one... However, despite her successful career, she hadn't found a partner yet, and her grandfather's case remained unresolved...
Then she opened her eyes and transmigrated here...
Becoming an ignorant woman who was abducted!
She had a belly full of grievances and didn't know where to start!
In fact, besides what she had just said, there were some things she couldn't say—
She had been around soldiers since she was young and was too familiar with their actions, movements, and body language. Their gazes, reactions on the spot, and even habitual gun-handling gestures... Perhaps these combined to form the unique "righteousness" or "aura" of soldiers, which she could sense upon approaching them. This was the confidence that made her "fearless."
"What? Is it hard to answer?" Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"My grandfather fought on the battlefield. When I was very young, he told me about the military in great detail, and I also liked to read books and listen to the radio. Anything related to the military was deeply etched in my mind!" Song Ning answered earnestly.
Anyway, the original owner's grandfather had already passed away, and he had indeed fought on the battlefield, even if he was just a medic.
"So, your combat skills were also taught by your grandfather?"
"Yes! Grandpa taught me military boxing since I was young. He said it's always good for a girl to learn some self-defense! That's why I found those common moves familiar at a glance."
Sweat beaded on Song Ning's forehead. She knew that once she revealed their identities, she would face such questioning. However, since they were here for these human traffickers, joining forces with them was clearly the wisest and safest option!
It's just that the person in front of her was clearly more perceptive than she had imagined. She had only used two moves by the window earlier; to be precise, she had only completed half of each move before he firmly countered her. Yet, he still saw that she had combat skills...
She felt it was necessary to remind him—the most important thing right now should be related to the human traffickers!
And also—Lan Ying was still waiting for her!
Just as she thought this and was about to speak—
She heard the captain say seriously, "Alright! Comrade Song Ning! Thank you for coming to find us! The priority now is to understand matters related to the human traffickers. Since you appeared here, is there also a girl with an injured face nearby?"
Song Ning reacted and was stunned again!
She asked in surprise, "How did you know Lan Ying's face was injured?"
Gu Zheng showed that half-smile again and said, "'Except for one who was about to die, and another with an injured face who was captured, everyone else made a move!' Oh! This is one of the latest statements from the human traffickers!"
"Ah... this..." Song Ning suddenly faltered again...
Gu Zheng quietly scrutinized Song Ning, his tone serious yet with a hint of playfulness, "Although I don't know what the problem is, theoretically speaking—you should be the one they called 'about to die'!"
