CHAPTER 243: 243: ARE YOU THE ASSISTANT SENT BY UNCLE WU?

"What do you think?"

Gu Tong replied with a question, maintaining an attitude of casual conversation.

An attitude that seemed completely indifferent to Chuan Er’s doubts, confident and assured.

It was precisely this demeanor that could easily create an illusion for others.

They were all puzzled in their hearts about what ability Gu Tong had to prove her identity or what trump card she hadn’t revealed...

This is what psychological warfare is about. It’s like gambling; gaining a momentum advantage is half the victory, and the rest is the real battleground!

Chuan Er was slightly taken aback and became uncertain about Gu Tong’s identity. He frowned and didn’t speak for a long time, focusing more on weighing the truth of her words!

Fifth Master is a cautious person. He has never sent anyone up the mountain for years for fear of provoking Chuan Er and creating a dilemma. Yet now, during such a crisis, he actually sent someone. What is happening...

"Are you a helper sent by Fifth Master?"

It’s a critical time now. Down the mountain are the Spec Ops trainees of the Academy. If Fifth Master has a backup plan at such a crucial juncture, it’s understandable!

"Is there a second possibility?"

Gu Tong’s lips curled into a disdainful smile. She slowly got off the tricycle and said calmly, "We’re surrounded on all sides! Without a strategy to deal with it, we’ll end up dead on the mountain sooner or later. You all alone can’t escape the Spec Ops trainees’ net!"

"Can you lead us out? Or stay in the mountain to continue making munitions?" Chuan Er was skeptical, sneering, and said, "If you’re so capable! Why didn’t Fifth Master use you earlier! Why wait until such a critical moment."

It’s always beneficial to be more cautious to avoid more trouble, so Chuan Er’s actions had a purpose! Moreover, the situation was already urgent, and he had to remain highly vigilant.

"Who said we have to stay on the mountain! Didn’t Fifth Master tell you about retreating? His newly chosen base is a hundred times safer! As long as we find a breakthrough point to get down the mountain, we can completely relocate to the new hideout! Fifth Master has already solved all the travel issues!"

Chuan Er frowned again, recalling his conversation with Fifth Master. Fifth Master indeed mentioned the new base issue...

But he wasn’t as detailed as the person in front of him, half-truths mixed, making it difficult to gauge the authenticity!

Moreover, the current situation is special! He couldn’t just deal with the person in front of him based on a mere suspicion. If she truly was Fifth Master’s informant, Chuan Er would be cutting off the only hope of getting down the mountain!

"Then why did you agree with Huang Shou, even if it’s to stabilize him, it’s too reckless. He and Zhou Li don’t have an ordinary relationship, arranging them together is bound to cause problems sooner or later, and if they escape, who will bear the consequences!"

If it were for immediate benefits, it wouldn’t have mattered to them, but they wanted a long-term supply of devices. Huang Shou was their trump card, and they couldn’t afford to lose him easily!

"Knowing Huang Shou’s pivotal status, do you still want to kill him?"

Gu Tong’s lips curved into a slight mockery as she looked at Chuan Er with playful eyes and said, "If I hadn’t said that earlier, Huang Shou would already have a device loophole by now. Who would then make the devices for us? Maintaining the current machinery design would become a problem, right!"
