There are no roads in the entire manor, and the sightseeing cars walk entirely on the lawn, just like a golf course today.
The surroundings were quiet, and the intoxicating fragrance of flowers drifted from time to time.
"Why were you unwilling to save Putina when you were in the hospital?" Catherine, who was sitting in the car and had been silent, suddenly asked.
It is estimated that this black girl was also dissatisfied and questioning, so she translated the words and wanted to hear how Zhang Yang explained.
"I was petrified at the time, so I didn't react," Zhang Yang lied.
At this moment, he didn't want to tell this girl and He Shuqing about the attack on the medical aid workers. After all, this manor seemed very peaceful, but it was full of crises.
It's better to hide it for now and tell them later after leaving here.
Of course, is there still a chance to leave? Zhang Yang himself doesn’t know this...
"How is that possible? Stop lying. Now that everyone's lives are tied together, how long are you going to keep it a secret?" Catherine frowned.
Putina was stunned, then thought that Catherine had noticed something, and couldn't help but ask: "Liar? I didn't think there was anything wrong with him, how could you think so?"
"Really? You are their translator and you have more contact with them than me. Do you really think his behavior is no different from the previous two days?" Catherine brushed the hair on her forehead and asked with a smile.
She came into contact with Zhang Yang at that meeting. She felt that he was just a green-headed young man with no culture and quality. He only acted mischievously and did not pay attention to the situation. It could be said that the impression was extremely bad.
However, after these two days of getting along, my impression has undergone earth-shaking changes. Behind the seemingly reckless appearance, I am actually very careful and steady.
Playing tricks makes him very generous, and he doesn't care about details with others. Helping him carry his box is the best example.
More importantly, his wild imagination and unique temperament are very distinctive.
It is undeniable that in China, unrealistic imagination is more like wishful thinking and is despised, but for education in the United States, it is an advantage.
"You mean he didn't save me in the hospital ward, right?"
Putina breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she understood that she just felt a slight change in Zhang Yang. She smiled and said: "The situation at that time would be scary to anyone who encountered it. It is normal that he did not dare to help. There is no need to blame him.
.”
"If I was really scared, how could I suspect that there was something wrong with him?"
Catherine asked with a smile and continued: "If you are afraid, you will be afraid from the first sight of the bloody man. He is not afraid but hesitant, or he is considering whether to save you or not."
She still watched very carefully. At that time, she and Putina both called Zhang Yang to save him, but he turned a deaf ear. Even if it was fear, he should have reacted at that time.
But when Putina was rescued and the bloody man attacked again, he struck without hesitation, cleanly and without any sloppiness. At that time, she began to have doubts.
"Perhaps he feels that I am not worth his risk at all." Putina shrugged her shoulders and said with a helpless smile.
"Why do you have to defend him?"
Catherine glanced at Zhang Yang next to her and continued: "You are their translator, and your personality is very similar to Zhang Yang. We should get along well with each other, but he does not trust you."
"That's his business. Translation is just my job." Putina's answer was ambiguous.
"We have experienced such a dangerous thing together, but the danger continues, and we may even die at any time. In this case, everyone should be honest and help each other get through the difficulties instead of hiding anything from each other."
What Catherine said was so reasonable and generous that it was hard to bear to hide it any longer.
"I am also an armed member of the Fanzhengfu. We planned the attack on the convoy of medical aid workers. It was I who told them the news." Finally, after a moment of silence, Putina said calmly.
"Are you with them?"
Catherine's pretty face showed a look of horror, she glanced at the two black men in camouflage uniforms and continued: "Zhang Yang already knew, why didn't you tell us earlier?"
"If I were with them, would I still be caught here?"
Putina smiled bitterly and continued: "We are different from them. We mainly oppose the government, but we never kill innocent people indiscriminately. This attack on the convoy is just to enable the government to transport medicines to treat the plague to various cities as soon as possible.
.”
"Zhang Yang also always misunderstood me because he knew about this matter. He may have been hesitating about this matter at the time, so he refused to save me."
…
"Things have to be settled. Since I have misunderstood you, I should speak out openly. Is it still a man to be secretive and refuse to save me?"
Catherine is also a very independent girl. Although she was very surprised by Putina's identity, she did not feel that this black girl was a bad person because of this. Instead, she felt more favorable for her confession.
What's more, after the person who attacked the convoy sent several of her people to the hospital, she saw that although the people's behavior was arrogant, it was very different from today's gang of people who killed innocent people indiscriminately, so they began to believe her words.
At this time, she felt that Zhang Yang's attempt to use the blood man to kill the black girl was too insidious...
"What did you say?"
Zhang Yang saw the two of them chatting with each other, and glanced at himself from time to time, feeling that the topic must be related to him.
But unfortunately, he couldn't understand a word of the English both of them spoke. He was anxious but had no choice. When he saw the two of them being silent, he couldn't help but ask.
"It has nothing to do with you."
After Putina glanced at him sideways, she continued indifferently: "I have confessed my identity to Catherine, and she also hopes that everyone can unite to overcome the danger, instead of playing tricks on each other."
She deliberately emphasized the tone of the last sentence, which was undoubtedly a mockery and disdain for Zhang Yang's actions.
"Unite? How to unite? That's nice to say."
How could Zhang Yang not understand the meaning of her words? Thinking of the more than thirty medical personnel and peacekeeping soldiers who died, he immediately became furious.
He continued: "It is because I believe your words so much that so many people died. You keep saying that you are only threatening the government for the sake of the people, but why did you take advantage of the rainy day to carry out a sneak attack and kill more than 30 people? They were not Liberians, but
Is it fair to the people who have traveled thousands of miles to help you, they also have wives and children, but they die here without knowing why?"
"Zhang Yang, don't be impulsive. What happened?"
He Shuqing had vaguely noticed something when he heard his words, but she couldn't believe it, so she came over anxiously and asked.
"Fanzhengfu armed forces took advantage of last night's heavy rain to attack the medical aid convoy. A total of thirty-seven people died, including Director Wang and Captain Gu."
Now that Catherine already knows Putina's identity, Zhang Yang doesn't need to keep hiding it, so as to avoid this black girl from stirring up discord and playing tricks again, he simply tells her directly.
"How can this be?"
He Shuqing trembled all over and continued with a trembling voice: "Didn't we all agree at the time? How could the other party go back on his word? How did you know?"
This news was like a bolt from the blue to him...
"Don't slander me. This is absolutely impossible. We just want to blackmail the government. If we wanted to kill people, we would have done it long ago."
After Putina heard what he said, she was even more excited than He Shuqing, and she spoke angrily.
"My friends in China called me and told me that it has been reported in China News and the whole world has already known about it. Are you the only one who doesn't know about it?"
"It's impossible..." Putina saw that what he said was righteous and confident. Although she said it was impossible, she was beginning to lose confidence.
"You can call your friends and ask them to know if it's true?" Zhang Yang stared at her and said.
It can be seen from Putina's excited and tangled expression that all this is not a disguise, she really doesn't know about this matter.
Could it be that she didn't know about this matter? Or was she deceived by Cannide? Did she blame this girl wrongly?
Putina did not answer, but hurriedly took out her mobile phone, looked for the phone number and dialed it...
At this time, He Shuqing listened to the conversation between the two, her whole body was shaking, and her eyes were filled with tears.
The corners of his mouth twitched violently but he didn't say a word, which showed that he had believed everything and was excited and painful inside.
After dialing several phone numbers in succession, Putina slammed the phone on the car seat. Her pretty face was full of panic and nervousness. It was obvious that no one answered the phone.
"Don't worry, no matter what happened, put it aside for now. We are all in the same boat now. The most important thing is to work together to overcome this danger."
Catherine could not understand the words between them, but she could understand from the angry and excited expressions of the two that there must be a dispute or conflict about something.
But the current situation is not the time to deal with these conflicts. After all, once everyone dies here, will all the conflicts be meaningful?
Thinking of this, he continued: "As for the conflict between you, it is better for everyone to find a way to leave here first. It is not too late to resolve it after we are out of danger."
"I have no problem, as long as they trust me, I will definitely get to the bottom of it if I have the chance."
…
Putina translated Catherine's words and her own thoughts to Zhang Yang and He Shuqing. Neither of them answered. This silence was naturally a kind of acquiescence.
Even though their hearts were filled with anger and hatred, they understood that there was no need to make things difficult for the black girl in front of them. She could only be regarded as an accomplice at most.
Of course, it is possible that she was also deceived, but these are no longer important. The most important thing is to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible (to be continued)
