Book 4: Chapter 57: Jin Xingsan
As I stared blankly at the darkness in front of me, Jin Xingsan was still waiting beside me. I didn't need to look at his face to know that he was still looking at me.
There were a lot of puzzling bits of information in my mind, but at this time, the links began to appear.
Jin Xingsan had handed me the walkie-talkie and asked me to call Xiao Hua. If he was acting in good faith, then his behavior seemed to indicate that the walkie-talkie could communicate both ways.
But why did the walkie-talkie seem to be malfunctioning when Urmei called Jin Xingsan and only Urmei's voice could be heard?
To explain it in detail, the story probably went something like this: when Urmei called, her radio was only transmitting signals instead of receiving them, so she couldn't hear how they answered. But this malfunction didn't happen to the radios that Jin Xingsans team had.
If Jin Xingsan hadn't been by my side and paying attention to me the whole time, I probably would have thought about the problem in this way. But he kept staring at me so intently, which I felt was a bit abnormal.
If I were to speculate on him from a malicious viewpoint, then the smoothest logic I could come up with was that he deliberately didn't reply when Urmei called. I knew many people in the team had radios on them, so Jin Xingsan definitely wouldnt be the only one who could respond to Urmei. That meant that even if Jin Xingsan didnt respond, other people should have been able to.
But why didn't anyone respond, and why didn't Xiao Hua force Jin Xingsan to respond?nove(l)bi(n.)com
The real situation was still unclear right now, but Jin Xingsan had remained by my side and was watching me the whole time, which was starting to make me feel extremely uncomfortable. When I had been chatting with Xiao Hua up there before, he didn't tell me this information, so did that mean that Jin Xingsan had a way to listen to our conversation?
Or, was I putting too much thought into it?
Little Master Three?
Just as I was thinking about my next course of action, Jin Xingsan started talking to me again, "What should we do next?"
I looked at him. If I really was right about this teams situation, then why would he be so polite to me?
I put myself in his shoes and realized that it was because of Poker-Face.
Although there were more than a dozen of them, the combination of me, Xiao Hua, Fatty, and Poker-Faceespecially Poker-Faces presencehad actually broken the balance. This guy had attacked us directly when we approached, but the bullets didn't kill us and we were still able to approach them.
I didnt know what Jin Xingsan was using to control the team, but after the three of us appeared, it was obviously difficult for him to directly order his men to fight with us since we were very famous in the business.
