Chapter 323 Saber's Expectations
Ma Anqi listened quietly, not missing any of Ma Dao's subtle expressions and movements.
But the conversation between the two people was like a riddle, and she couldn't understand a word.
Especially, she didn't know what He Shu said in the last sentence, but she saw that Ma Dao, who had been in a relaxed state, had begun to change his eyes.
"You know what I want most. I've said it before, intellectuals like you are insidious. In fact, you are the ones who know how to take advantage of others the most."
After the excitement subsided, Ma Dao murmured back as if he was relieved.
"Since you understand, I am also very happy. It is still the same injustice I suffered before. After I die, I hope you can send me back to my hometown."
"Okay." He Shu nodded: "I promise you, no matter whether you will help me this time or not."
"There is no interest or exploitation in this matter. Just because we know each other, I am willing to fulfill your last wish."
"Because I believe that you, Saber, still have a trace of conscience in your heart."
Ma Dao smiled, and it was an ugly smile: "Haha, if that's the case, then you can go."
He Shu frowned slightly. Is Ma Dao still unwilling to confess?
That’s right, who is not afraid of death?
He Shu sighed. Even if Ma Dao didn't say anything, since he had agreed, he would do it.
"Did Chen He really not tell you anything before he died?"
He Shu, who had already turned around to leave, stopped and turned his head away: "No."
"Think about it, he is a very talented person, otherwise I wouldn't admire him so much and believe in him."
"Actually, when I first met Chen He, I knew that my fate would be changed by him. So he was somewhat successful, right?"
Ma Dao sighed, "Boy, I don't know who will live longer, you or me. Anyway, the result is the same. I hope you can show me a miracle. What Chen He can't do, you can do!"
He Shu stood with his head tilted for a long time. He suddenly understood the meaning of saber, but he felt very depressed and heavy about his expectations.
The world is not black and white, some people are gray...
When leaving the room where Ma Dao was imprisoned, He Shu turned around again, and at the moment when the door was about to be closed, he heard Ma Dao singing.
A hoarse voice sang a ditty in the Lisu language. The lyrics meant: "I am still a little boy. I want to return to my mother's arms and run in the picturesque scenery. My mother's sweet milk is waiting for me..."
After leaving the detention center, He Shu remained silent all the way, and Ma Anqi quietly observed him from the side.
Tang Can made sure that he had finished his work and drove them back to the military district guesthouse.
It was almost midnight when they arrived at the residence. Seeing that He Shu wanted to talk to Ma Anqi, Xiao Zhang and Brother Dong stood guard outside the door.
Ma Anqi sat in He Shu's room, and they both sat there for a long time before speaking.
"Sister Anqi, did you see anything?"
Ma Anqi recalled carefully: "This person has a very high psychological quality. One thing I can be sure of is that he is not afraid of death."
He Shu nodded. This was the same feeling he had before.
"Since you two are keeping us in suspense, I won't speculate. I'll just tell you what I saw. When he first met you, he didn't seem to trust you, so he was testing you."
He Shu continued to nod, signaling Ma Anqi to continue: "He has no confidence in you."
"Sister Anqi, are you saying that he didn't tell me the truth?"
Ma Anqi asked He Shu: "Did you get the answer?"
He Shu shook his head: "I need to verify it."
“When an emotion is hidden or suppressed, the true emotion may show up as a micro-expression.”
“A fleeting facial expression that is inconsistent with the emotion being expressed, typically suppressed for 1/25 to 1/5 of a second, and is strongly associated with deception.”
Ma Anqi analyzed: "People who lie will have instinctive reactions or anxiety, but people with strong inner strength or great acting skills may be able to overcome this instinctive reaction of their bodies."
"Most of the time, a person's words can be fabricated, but the person's non-verbal behavior, including micro-expressions, unconscious movements, etc., will reveal his true condition."
"According to my observation, this person was very relaxed when talking to you tonight. He didn't make any small movements or even uncontrollable subconscious expressions."
"He had already anticipated your arrival and was mentally prepared."
"What really made him react was that after you said that to him in another language, he cared about what you said. Did you promise him something?"
He Shu was silent. Seeing this, Ma Anqi did not continue to ask, but continued: "After that point, what he said should be serious, you can believe it."
After saying so much, Ma Anqi took off her glasses and rubbed her nose: "Actually, I think the effect will be the same if I don't come this time."
He Shu felt a little guilty when he saw Ma Anqi was so tired: "Sister Anqi, thank you for your hard work."
"Nothing, this is my job."
Ma Anqi stood up: "Then is my mission completed?"
"Sister Anqi..." He Shu suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words: "Sister Anqi, you should take a rest first. I will ask Brother Tang to arrange for you to return to Dadu later."
Originally He Shu wanted Ma Anqi to accompany him to meet someone, but he remembered what Ma Dao said: "I don't know who will live longer, him or her?"
Ma Dao has already anticipated the danger, so at this time, he should not drag Ma Anqi into the water.
Ma Anqi smiled and said, “He Shu, I’m already here. If I can help, you shouldn’t hesitate.”
"Sister Anqi, I'm afraid that what happens next will be too dangerous. The enemy is in the dark now, and I'm afraid that the news that I saw the saber today has already been known."
"Then can I get away? I feel safer with you."
Ma Anqi walked up to He Shu and said, "He Shu, we can put aside our private cooperation for now. But you have to understand that I am also a soldier."
He Shu was stunned: "Sister Anqi, what I mean is..."
"I understand what you mean. Don't be nervous." Ma Anqi's voice seemed to have the magic to soothe people: "Although I didn't know about this case of your Special Intelligence Bureau before, I also paid attention to it because of Zhou Zhensheng's accident."
"Your Director Zhou and I have been good friends for many years."
She smiled and raised her hand, seemingly casually tidying up He Shu's slightly messy collar: "Do you think I'm so easy to please?"
"Okay, Sister Anqi, then please accompany me to meet someone else."
"Well, that's settled. Now go to sleep. Sister is not young anymore. Staying up late all the time will make you age quickly."
He Shu saw Ma Anqi out of the room and watched her return to her room.
Xiao Zhang came over and asked, "He Shu, how is it?"
"Brother Zhang, I need to meet someone else."
"Any clues?"
He Shu was not in a good mood, unlike Brother Zhang who was excited.
"I don't know if my guess is right. There are surveillance cameras over there. He is on guard against someone. His words are so vague."
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang patted He Shu on the shoulder and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Your brother Dong and I will protect you. It doesn't matter even if they don't find out."
It's embarrassing for the people in their Special Intelligence Bureau to count on help from a young man like He Shu who hasn't even graduated from university.
"Brother Zhang, I'm not afraid."
"Okay, go to bed early. With me and your brother Dong here, you can sleep peacefully."
