Even Tang Susu, who had suffered all kinds of hardships growing up, suddenly felt that she got away lucky.
At this moment, Sang handed him the watch. “It’s the boss’s.”
Tang Susu took it hesitantly. She didn’t know what it meant. It was a communicator similar to a sports watch. It looked a little heavy and mechanical, but it was just right in her hand. It didn’t seem cumbersome, either. The screen was filled with all kinds of icons and could be used by touching the screen.
She knew that this was the latest communication device developed by the country. It has played an important role for a long time. It could receive text messages, just like the pagers in the past. It didn’t need to be recharged, as the battery simply needed to be changed.
The best part was that they could keep in touch under any extreme conditions, as the signal was very stable.
“For you.” Sang continued.
It was the boss’s. And now it was yours.
Tang Susu’s suspicion grew deeper and deeper. This thing was as important as an identity card. It contained a lot of contact records and information. Moreover, Shen Zhiting’s communicator was different from the others’, so he would definitely receive more information.
From the country, the other squad members, and even from various other agencies, it was extremely private.
If he gave it to her, it would be equivalent to exposing his naked body to her. It was like giving her his phone before the apocalypse, and that phone contained national secrets.
Tang Susu immediately returned it. “If he gave it to me, what would he use?”
Sang didn’t answer her directly. “The Boss rarely uses a communicator. Although we don’t know how he does it, he can always find us. Besides, each of us has one, and that’s enough. There’s a lot of important information inside, especially about Shichang City. You should take a look.”
Tang Susu flipped through it and saw that it was a document sent by a person called “Changming”. It was especially detailed. It was likely that all the information about Shichang City, big or small, was here.
However, she still felt that it was more than enough to take his identity card. It would be strange if she also accepted the communicator.
“Why don’t you lend me your communicator and return this to him? I just need to take a look.” Tang Susu still wanted to refuse.
Sang could feel her determination, so he stood his ground. “I’m sorry, Miss Tang. Boss trusts you and gives you his important personal items for your use. I don’t know much about you, however…”
Tang Susu was stunned. “I’m sorry.”
She had always had a sense of boundary, but to think that she actually made such an unreasonable request.
The boundary between her and Shen Zhiting seemed to be blurring, and the intimacy between them was getting more and more indescribable. This change was gradual, and she didn’t even notice it before it slowly eroded her.
If he was doing this for the sake of the promise he had made back then, to gain her trust, she had to admit that he was about to succeed.
Sang didn’t care at all, however. He smiled and said, “If you want our communicator, you can tell the boss. The boss will definitely agree. When the time comes, you can just tell us and we can give it to you.”
Sang might look upright on the surface, but in his heart, he was screaming, ‘Go find the boss, go find him right now!’
Tang Susu naturally didn’t agree to this even stranger suggestion. “Then I’ll borrow it for a while and return it to him later.”
Sang was about to smile when the girl suddenly said, “But I won’t accept a reward for nothing. I have to pay him for borrowing his things. Considering that it’s something so important, the usual pricing won’t work. How about this?”
She took out a black T4 crystal core, the one Eleven had given her.
Sang thought that he was in trouble. How could he take it back to his boss?
Tang Susu forced it on him. With that, she felt that the knot in her heart was instantly cleared, but she also felt a little heartache.
She would be a fool if she didn’t take advantage of the situation, but she was that fool in the idiom. Even though a T4 was nothing compared to the information that she could gain.
However, she could tell that she had to draw a line between them in order to maintain her sense of self.
Sang walked away with a bitter expression. He was secretly angry at himself for coming up with such a bad idea. A girl like Miss Tang was indeed more suitable for the boiling frogs method.
Tang Susu felt a little amused when she saw her family’s expressions were like the sun revealing itself after a terrible storm.
She had been watching their reactions, but she didn’t think too much about it. After all, they were always on guard against anyone of the opposite sex who approached her.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about the motives behind Shen Zhiting’s actions.
However, every time she thought of the short relationship in her previous life, the “loyal man “who had come forward to help her when she was at her most helpless was actually just a scum that Chang Ya had found to play with her feelings, to ride on her popularity, to covet her assets, and to even ruin her reputation…
Tang Susu felt that she shouldn’t be too narcissistic in order to avoid getting herself hurt again.
Very soon, Eleven, who had gone to buy a pass, returned. He had a Tanghulu, hawthornes in a wooden skewer laced with hardened rock-sugar syrup, in his mouth and another one in his hand. He walked straight toward Tang Susu without any hesitation.
“Here you go.”
Tang Susu hesitated for a moment before she rejected him.
Eleven then walked back to his group in confusion. “What’s wrong with her? Ah, what happened, boss? Did you encounter a T4 zombie?”
He looked at the black crystal core in the man’s hand and felt as if the surrounding air was in freezing temperature.. It was suffocating…
