Chapter 310 A glimmer of hope ignites in my heart
Just as Su Ming was about to board the boat, he heard footsteps behind him. His body tensed instantly, his hand reaching for the gun handle at his waist, but before he turned around, he heard a familiar whisper.
"I didn't expect you to find this place."
It was Jiang Ling's voice. Su Ming's heart sank. Could it be that this person had been following him? He turned around quickly.
"I didn't expect you'd actually find this place." Jiang Ling's voice was playful, like a hunter observing his prey. Su Ming's heart tightened, and his alertness instantly increased. This person had actually followed him?
"Why are you here?" Su Ming asked calmly, trying to conceal his shock and uneasiness. His fingers tightened slightly on the handle of his gun, ready to respond to any emergency.
Jiang Ling smiled slightly, seeming amused by Su Ming's reaction. "I thought our conversation was pleasant, but I didn't expect you to be so distrustful of me." He slowly approached, raising his hand to indicate his non-hostility. "Relax, I'm not here to cause you any trouble."
"Really?" Su Ming's voice was low, unwavering. He understood that Jiang Ling's relaxed demeanor might be hiding some conspiracy. The more information he had just gained, the greater the danger. This person, with whom he had a vague relationship, might become an even greater threat.
Jiang Ling's gaze was penetrating, as if he could see through Su Ming's exterior and grasp the inner struggle and doubt. "I understand your wariness, but everything you do on this island is of concern to me. If I hadn't intended to let you escape, I would have taken action long ago."
Su Ming remained wary. Although Jiang Ling showed no hostility, his relaxed attitude made him even more uneasy. He didn't want to be led around by the nose, so he decided to fight back. "What exactly do you want? You know how important those things on the film are."
Jiang Ling was slightly stunned, then a smile appeared on his lips. "You're really smart. You're right. Those negatives aren't just ordinary scientific research records. The secrets they contain could change the entire situation."
Su Ming's heart trembled, but he quickly calmed down. He pondered Jiang Ling's words, realizing that this man might actually know what he was looking for. "What evidence do you have to prove that what you say is true? I have no reason to believe you."
"Evidence?" Jiang Ling shook his head, a half-smile still on his face. "How many spies have you seen who can directly give you evidence? My existence itself is a kind of evidence. I'm here because we have common interests."
"Common interests?" Su Ming raised his brow. Although he was filled with doubt, he understood that the complexity of the current situation far exceeded his expectations. This person was not just an adversary, but perhaps a potential ally.
"Yes," Jiang Ling said seriously, "I believe you are looking for the truth behind those negatives, and I am looking for the same thing. Our goals are the same, so why not join forces?"
Su Ming felt a surge of unease. Join forces? He didn't trust this man. However, in this dangerous situation, was there really any other option? He began to wonder if this hesitation would cause him to miss an opportunity.
"Even if we can join forces, I still can't completely trust you." Su Ming's voice remained calm, his eyes sharp as he tried to see through Jiang Ling's heart.
"I understand," Jiang Ling said softly, seemingly mulling over Su Ming's every word. "But I hope you understand that I'm not here to become your enemy. The truth behind those negatives could affect the fate of both of us."
Su Ming's heart was stirred. He could sense that Jiang Ling's words were not empty words, and the sincerity in his tone seemed to be true. "If what you say is true, then how should we cooperate?"
Jiang Ling smiled, as if he saw hope. "First, we must protect the negatives and make sure they don't fall into the hands of others. Second, I know the situation here is much more complicated than you imagine."
Su Ming thought for a moment and decided to let down his guard. "Okay, tell me what you know."
"I know the 'core' you're looking for was developed by a group of technological elites. They've hidden too many secrets on this island," Jiang Ling began, a hint of nervousness in his tone. "And these secrets aren't just about technology. There are also some out-of-control experiments. Those experiments could have an impact on the entire environment."
"An experiment gone awry?" Su Ming suddenly felt uneasy. Jiang Ling's every word was revealing layer upon layer of truth, and the danger behind it seemed far more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Yes, out-of-control experiments," Jiang Ling continued. "These experiments cover a wide range of areas and may be related to many things in our real life."
Su Ming pondered for a moment, realizing that Jiang Ling's "runaway experiment" could lead to a series of unimaginable consequences. This was beyond his ability to bear, and it also ran counter to his original goal. "So what should we do?"
"First, we need to find all the key individuals involved in these experiments and understand their goals and motivations. Second, we must get the negatives out of here safely as quickly as possible." Jiang Ling looked directly into Su Ming's eyes. "If we can get more information, perhaps we can find a way to crack this."
Su Ming nodded, deciding to trust Jiang Ling for the time being. He knew that continuing to harbor hostility would only sink him deeper into the quagmire, and that cooperation at this moment might bring him closer to the truth.
"So, where do we start?" Su Ming asked, already starting to make a plan in his mind.
Jiang Ling smiled faintly and pulled out a small device from behind him. "I've already infiltrated some key data. We can start with this." He handed the device to Su Ming, which contained some basic information and clues.
Su Ming took the device and clicked on the file. He frowned slightly. The information displayed on the device shocked him: "These are..."
"These are the names of people involved in the core experiments, and their activity records," Jiang Ling explained. "Some of them may become our next targets."
"Who is on this list?" Su Ming asked nervously as he flipped through it.
"We're focusing on these three people now." Jiang Ling pointed at a few names on the screen, his expression growing serious. "They're all key figures. One is the core scientist for the experiment, another is the director responsible for safety, and the last one is in technical support."
Su Ming stared at the list, a trace of doubt flashing through his mind: "Why them? What do they have to do with the negatives?"
"Their research is closely related to the information on the film, and one of them may be directly responsible for the uncontrolled experiment." Jiang Ling said seriously, "We must capture them and force them to reveal more information."
"Are you sure you want to take action?" Su Ming felt uneasy. Although they now shared the same hatred for the enemy, he did not want to make a radical decision under Jiang Ling's instigation.
"Of course, we don't have time to hesitate." Jiang Ling's eyes were firm. "We are already at a disadvantage. We must take the initiative to find a breakthrough."
Su Ming sighed and decided to give Jiang Ling a chance in this operation. He also knew that he had little time left and had to take action. He engraved the names on the list deeply in his mind: "Okay, how should we act?"
"I'll distract some people and give you a chance to approach the core scientist. As for the other two, we'll split up." Jiang Ling's tone became decisive. "We must be swift and efficient."
"Understood." Su Ming made up his mind and began to plan his next steps. He knew that this cooperation would not be easy, but only by piecing together all the clues could they move forward and uncover the truth of this secret.
"This road could be dangerous. We could run into other people at any time." Jiang Ling's eyes showed a hint of worry. "You must remain vigilant."
"I will." Su Ming nodded firmly, mentally prepared for the worst. No matter how difficult the road ahead, he must face it bravely. He knew that in this situation, there was no turning back, only forward.
After Su Ming and Jiang Ling agreed on an action plan, he tightly grasped the device in his hand and secretly swore in his heart: This time, he must find the truth behind the core, no matter what the cost.
As the sky gradually brightened, a glimmer of hope ignited in Su Ming's heart. He knew that tomorrow would be a new beginning. The two of them moved separately in tacit understanding, preparing to face the next challenge.
There are too many unknown secrets hidden on this island. Su Ming took a deep breath. Every moment that flashed through his mind told him that he must keep moving forward until he found the path to the truth.
At the same time, Jiang Ling was secretly observing his surroundings, ready to respond to any unexpected situation. Although their cooperation was fragile, it was the only option at the moment.
As the operation unfolded, Su Ming began to feel nervous. He knew that the target they were looking for was not far away, and everything was getting closer.
Su Ming's heartbeat quickened, his palms sweated slightly, and his nerves tensed, as if every breath could be detected by a lurking enemy. He stood in a hidden spot, gripping his device tightly, his mind replaying Jiang Ling's instructions. Every detail needed to be memorized, no step could be missed. He silently told himself: All of this is leading to the truth.
The sky gradually darkened, and moonlight shone through the treetops, casting a faint glow, as if casting a veil of mystery over everything. Su Ming frowned slightly, feeling vaguely uneasy. Perhaps it was the target he was about to encounter that made him a little uneasy, but he knew that this opportunity was hard-won and must not be missed.
