Chapter 74 Special Team
Chapter 74 Special Team
Upon hearing Qin Su's words, Jiang Songchu was momentarily at a loss for words.
Indeed, she was fully capable of handling the situation at the time; it was simply a matter of whether she used words or actions.
But if those relentless entertainment reporters and paparazzi take photos of them and exaggerate them online, it could cause an even bigger uproar, and Chen Yun and her colleagues would have to work overtime again.
So ultimately, she should thank these two for their help.
Although it was just a small favor for them, she genuinely accepted their help. So why dwell on the initial reason?
"I still have to thank Uncle Qin and Aunt Guan. They really helped me solve a big problem today."
Jiang Songchu expressed his gratitude, then asked, "The fire that day is all in the past, and it's good that everyone is alright. I just don't know whether it was determined to be an accident or intentional?"
Qin Su and Guan Qianyun nodded in agreement as they listened to Jiang Songchu's words, expressing their sincere admiration for the girl's keenness and intelligence.
"Let your Uncle Qin tell you about this."
As she spoke, Guan Qianyun picked up the fruit basket from the table, pointed to the fruit inside, and said, "Take whatever you want to eat."
Jiang Songchu smiled and nodded, her gaze falling on the apples in the fruit basket, but she did not reach out to take them.
At this moment, in this elegantly decorated, antique-style mansion, the afternoon sun shines through the exquisite window frames, filling every corner of the living room.
In the living room, Qin Su and Guan Qianyun sat opposite Jiang Songchu at a carved long table.
Qin Su coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the room.
He spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful: "Songchu, if I were to tell you that the fire at that National Day gala was not accidental, what... would you think?"
His words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Songchu frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
But the surprise didn't stem from the content of Qin Su's words themselves, but from the fact that he was willing to tell her the truth about this matter—an ordinary girl with whom they had no close relationship.
"Isn't it obvious? They're only targeting you."
She spoke softly, her tone carrying a hint of certainty.
A slight smile appeared on Qin Su's lips, as if he had already anticipated Jiang Songchu's reaction.
His eyes gleamed with a profound light as he spoke.
"After that seemingly accidental fire, we conducted a thorough investigation and were shocked to discover that the fire was not accidental, but a carefully planned conspiracy."
"After careful investigation, we finally discovered that it was an assassination operation meticulously planned by dark forces abroad and hidden spies."
“When they learned that Qianyun and I would be attending the National Day gala, they cunningly disguised themselves as a foreign performance group, attempting to take advantage of the raging fire to eliminate us.”
"That night, the venue was packed and the atmosphere was lively."
"Therefore, due to the limited seating inside the venue, some bodyguards had to wait on the perimeter."
"Just then, they were suddenly attacked by an unknown force, and the bodyguards on site were also cleverly restrained by the other side using various means. The situation instantly spiraled out of control, like a chaotic nightmare."
As he spoke, a shadow crossed Qin Su's face. The harrowing events of that night seemed still vivid in his mind, leaving an indelible impression on him.
Guan Qianyun gently placed her hand on the back of Qin Su's hand, offering him silent yet firm support and comfort.
At the same time, her gaze gently turned to Jiang Songchu, her eyes filled with deep gratitude.
“Songchu, do you know? That night, if you hadn’t stood up for me, Lao Qin and I might have…”
Her voice trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and strength, making one wonder if that vulnerability was just an illusion.
Qin Su's gaze became deep and distant at this moment, as if he was recalling every thrilling detail of that night.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, things are unpredictable. Your appearance caught everyone off guard, leaving them surprised and shocked."
"You went into the fire all by yourself without hesitation, not only helping the bodyguards subdue the murderers disguised as a performance troupe, but also rescuing me and the unconscious Qianyun."
"Your courage and wisdom have earned our sincere admiration and gratitude. They have also shown us your extraordinary potential."
As Jiang Songchu listened to their stories, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.
She never imagined that her unintentional act would uncover such a profound conspiracy and danger, forging an inextricable bond between her and the couple.
She smiled slightly and said humbly, "Uncle Qin, Aunt Guan, I just did what I should do."
“At that time, even if it wasn’t you inside, if it were someone else in danger, I would definitely have lent a helping hand if it were within my power.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Su and Guan Qianyun's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation and satisfaction.
Qin Su spoke solemnly: "Songchu, we invited you here today to express our deepest gratitude to you."
"Secondly... we hope you can join our country's special forces."
"Your abilities, courage, and wisdom are exactly what our team needs."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Songchu seemed to freeze, unable to move, yet a series of ripples stirred within her heart.
In Gu Tianrong's time, only men were allowed to fight on the battlefield; women were never recognized.
She never imagined that she would be drawn into the tide of this era in this way, becoming a warrior protecting the safety of Tianrong Kingdom and its people.
Seeing that Jiang Songchu was deep in thought, Qin Su spoke again, his voice sincere.
"Songchu, after my detailed investigation, you fully meet our selection requirements."
"You are not only exceptionally skilled and handsome, but also of upright character and from a respectable family."
"What's even more remarkable is that you are only fifteen years old, yet you have already begun to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry and have gained a certain level of fame and influence."
His words carried a hint of admiration and expectation: "We believe that your conditions are practically a cheat barrier tailor-made for special teams."
"In this complex world, sometimes we need special means to protect the safety of the country and its people."
"And you, as someone who is about to become a star or someone known to the public, have an advantage that others cannot match."
"Your identity and influence can enable us to take some unexpected actions at critical moments."
As soon as Qin Su finished speaking, Jiang Songchu was taken aback, her brows furrowing slightly before she gave a puzzled look: "A cheat barrier? What does that mean?"
