Getting the best from Tarkov

Chapter 120 A Secret Conversation Between Girlfriends

After getting off the plane, Liao Fan first sent Mao Youyou and Du Jie back to their dormitory opposite the Municipal Bureau, and then took Tang Yunong directly home.

Not long after Liao Fan left, Du Jie pulled Mao Youyou to her bedroom.

"What's wrong? Xiao Jiejie, why did you call me over?"

"Go to hell, you're itching for trouble, right? Speak properly!"

"Tsk, tell me, why are you pulling me?"

Seeing that Mao Youyou had stopped teasing her, Du Jie paused for a moment and said, "Huh... Tell me the truth, do you know anything about Liao Fan?"

Hearing Du Jie's question, Mao Youyou's pupils shrank slightly, but she sighed in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Du Jie, don't ask. There are some things you'd better not know."

After hearing what Mao Youyou said, Du Jie suddenly became very excited and said, "You said that again! I've noticed that ever since you, Mao Youyou, joined that special forces team, you've become very secretive. I want to know if I'm still your best friend!"

"Ajie, listen..."

"Okay, I understand." Seeing that Mao Youyou was about to say something, Du Jie interrupted directly: "You don't have to explain, I understand, it's confidential. But I don't understand what does Liao Fan have to do with your department's confidential information?"

After hearing Du Jie say this, Mao Youyou didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

Indeed, Liao Fan’s secret had nothing to do with the unit she was in, but if she told Du Jie about her suspected Liao Fan’s secret, it was hard to guarantee what Du Jie would do given her temper.

Just as Mao Youyou was hesitating, Du Jie spoke again, "Youyou, please, I'm begging you. I'll just ask you a few questions, and you just say yes or no. Is that okay?"

Seeing Du Jie's almost pleading eyes, Mao Youyou finally gave in.

After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said, "Ask me, I'll tell you what I can."

Hearing Mao Youyou's agreement, Du Jie's mouth curled up happily. She took out a notebook from underneath her body. Looking at the cover, it was the notebook that Du Jie used to record her conversations with Liao Fan.

"Okay, first question: Is the information Liao Fan has been able to find true?"

When Mao Youyou saw Du Jie's expression and the movements of her hands, her heart skipped a beat. Why did she feel like she had fallen into a trap?

But since I have already agreed, I can't go back on my word on the spot.

When Mao Youyou heard her first question, she knew she couldn't fool him this time, so she had to tell the truth: "I'm not sure, but I feel the basic information should be true."

Du Jie's brows furrowed when she heard Mao Youyou's answer. This was completely different from what she had guessed. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "So, are the details about Liao Fan's orphan status, his past education, and his subsequent employment all true?"

"Yes, I've verified all that information through special channels, and it's all true. Whether it's his former schoolmates or the orphanage he lived in as a child, I've found them all, so it shouldn't be fake."

"...Is it possible that this was intentional?"

"Probably not. From what I've heard, if they had prepared such comprehensive information, the cost would have been astronomical. If that were the case, Liao Fan would be holding a high-ranking government position or even a key military officer in a sensitive department, rather than being an unemployed vagrant like he is now."

After listening to Mao Youyou's explanation, Du Jie also felt that it made sense, but it was very different from her guess. Finally, she asked in disbelief, "Has he received any professional training? Military or special agent training?"

“…I think so.”

"what?"

This answer once again greatly exceeded Du Jie's expectations, and even made her a little confused for a while.

"Are you saying that during these 27 years, he received systematic military training without anyone noticing?"

"should be."

Du Jie was a bit hesitant, pondering it for a long time before finally accepting it reluctantly: "Huh...Okay...Second question: Based on your intuition, could Liao Fan be the culprit behind the fire on Antique Street after the Spring Festival?"

Looking at Du Jie's expectant expression, Mao Youyou became even more hesitant this time.

But on second thought, the authorities have not found any relevant evidence yet, which means that everything Du Jie has heard now is just speculation.

After thinking this through, Mao Youyou finally nodded slightly.

Seeing Mao Youyou nod, Du Jie did not feel surprised, but suddenly felt a sense of panic.

At this moment, she didn't know why she reacted this way.

The feeling came so suddenly that Du Jie couldn't even control her expression for a moment, and even Mao Youyou noticed something was wrong.

But before she could ask, Du Jie continued, "Third question: Is he working for someone?"

Okay, okay. Mao Youyou shook her head uncertainly, then added, "I'm not sure about that either, but from what I know about him and my intuition, he doesn't seem like someone who would risk his life for others."

After saying this, Mao Youyou really saw Du Jie breathe a sigh of relief for a moment.

If what happened just now might have been an illusion, what about now?

This girl is not...

Thinking of the possibility that emerged in her mind, Mao Youyou looked at Du Jie in disbelief. But before she could ask a question, Du Jie asked first: "Fourth question, and this is also my last question: What do you think his attitude towards the country is?"

This time, Mao Youyou didn't even hesitate and blurted out, "Love, he is patriotic."

This reaction really confused Du Jie: "Why are you so excited?"

Mao Youyou also felt that she had been a little too radical just now, and quickly explained: "Ahem, I was a little excited. But because of some things, I am very sure that he is patriotic, or rather, he loves his nation very much."

After hearing Mao Youyou's explanation, Du Jie looked at him suspiciously, and after a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Can you tell me what happened between you two?"

Mao Youyou thought about it and finally didn't tell the truth, and once again used confidentiality as an excuse.

Du Jie seemed to have guessed what the other party would say, and she closed the notebook in her hand before Mao Youyou could speak.

Seeing that Du Jie had finished asking the question, Mao Youyou smiled mischievously and pounced on Du Jie. She grabbed both of her hands with one hand and stretched them above her head. Then, she used her free hand to gently tap Du Jie's chin and said playfully, "Hey, little girl, are you in love with him?"

Du Jie, who was tied up, subconsciously wanted to resist.

But she was different from Mao Youyou. Although the police also trained their physical strength, their focus was different from that of the military. Therefore, she was unable to break free all of a sudden, and in the end, she could only be pressed down and teased by Mao Youyou in such a very shameful posture.

Seeing Du Jie didn't answer, Mao Youyou smirked and lifted the hem of Du Jie's shirt with his right hand, and put his hand inside her clothes, threatening her: "Tell the truth, don't wait until you suffer the consequences, why bother doing this~"
