Special Forces Medic-Chapter 825 - 798: Am I a Woman?

"Go to the gas station and take a look, the distance from here to there is less than four meters." The bald guy managed to escape from here, but no matter how skilled he is, without backup he can't get far. There are street lights nearby, but the illuminated area is limited; one side is the river, the other is farmland, and the only place left to flee via the road is the gas station.

"Young Master Xiao, it's too late now, shouldn't we wait until tomorrow?" Guo Liang reminded Xiao Lin.

With a deep sigh, Xiao Lin's steps seemed heavy, a bit defiant even, and the short four-meter distance made every step difficult. "Let's drive over! Isn't the car out of gas, hehe!"

Guo Liang pouted in annoyance; they had their own makeshift fueling station outside, and regulations stated that no vehicles could refuel privately elsewhere. This master completely ignored these rules. "Young Master Xiao..."

"I know your regulations, what's there to be afraid of? It's me after all, it's fine. Besides, do you expect me to walk there if I'm really going?" Guo Liang knew he couldn't win against Xiao Lin in an argument, so with a bitter smile, he got into the car and headed towards the gas station.

Upon turning into the gas station, under the bright lights, there was no one in the driveway. Guo Liang honked the horn. A middle-aged woman came running from the service room, her eyes still sleepy, not even glancing at them before she asked, "Are you getting 97 or 93?"

"Do you have 98?" Guo Liang casually asked without thinking. The middle-aged woman glared at him. "Not here, go to the city," she said, as she was about to hang the pump and leave.

"Sis, our car always uses number 98, will there be an issue if we use 97 now?" Xiao Lin got out of the car, showing his signature smile, which made the middle-aged woman blush, her attitude becoming much more pleasant.

"Not a big issue, but for good cars, it's best not to mix fuels. Is this a military vehicle?" The middle-aged woman stopped and took a few more glances at the handsome man.

"Yeah, we just passed by here on a mission." Xiao Lin scratched his head, showing a hint of embarrassment. "We're capturing a fugitive. If the gas runs out on the way, it'll be troublesome."

"What? There's a fugitive here? No way, a real fugitive?" the middle-aged woman exclaimed in shock, the middle of the night making it even scarier.

"Yeah, our squad passed by before to capture the fugitive who fled here. Be careful on your night shift, sis; this criminal is very fierce, and if regular folks encounter them, it's extremely dangerous!" Xiao Lin wasn't intent on scaring the woman, Guo Liang got out of the car and dashed towards the restroom.

"Just now, a few vehicles similar to yours stopped over there." The middle-aged woman recalled that when she was fueling a diesel vehicle, it blocked her view and she heard some commotion, which prompted her to step outside and take a look.

"Sis, did you see anything?" Xiao Lin glanced towards the restroom where Guo Liang went; he'd been in there for a while now.

"It was too dark to see, just noticed some people fighting, then I went back inside. This kind of thing often happens around here; you meddle, you suffer."

"Ah, thank you, sis, it's better to be careful at night. I'll check on my companion." Xiao Lin walked straight to the restroom, hesitated with his hand on the door handle, but then pulled it back, smiled at the middle-aged woman heading back to her service room, and then pulled hard. Guo Liang faced him, eyes wide, his expression strangely illuminating the darkness with a peculiar white.

Xiao Lin entered, shutting the door with a loud bang.

In the cramped space, accommodating two people was already difficult, adding another one left no room even to turn around. Xiao Lin couldn't help but think more as he realized the light was off after Guo Liang entered; it was a signal there was someone else in the restroom besides him.

No one spoke first, Xiao Lin took a deep breath. His night vision habits allowed him to see Guo Liang and the bald guy behind him clearly. The walls and the squat toilet flanked them, the bald guy stood before a tightly closed window, with the door behind him. Aside from opportunities to escape forward or backward, there was no way out on either side. In his current situation, he could fight evenly with the bald guy, but with Guo Liang around, he'd be at a disadvantage.

The bald guy retreated to the window, suddenly pushing Guo Liang towards Xiao Lin, then jumped onto the water platform, broke the window, and dashed out.

"Guo, are you alright?" Xiao Lin didn't intend to pursue.

"I'm fine, but he got away." Guo Liang noticed something was off as soon as he entered the restroom, his hand on the light switch stopped as he sensed someone inside the squat toilet. Instinctively, he kicked the door open, only to see the bald guy glaring menacingly at him. If Xiao Lin hadn't come in timely, he might've been strangled by this guy.

"He won't get far."

Returning to the car, Guo Liang kept glancing at the silent Xiao Lin. His hesitant manner prompted Xiao Lin to open his eyes. "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Uh..." Caught by Xiao Lin, Guo Liang responded awkwardly, eyes forward. "It's like this, the kid you brought back before, to be honest, there's a bit of an issue..."

"It's not convenient keeping him with your team; I'll take him away this time when we go."

"That's not what I meant!" Xiao Lin misunderstood him; Guo Liang stopped the car by the roadside. "I'm saying the kid, he has an issue."

"The kid? An issue? What do you mean?"

"When we brought him back, there was no noticeable problem, but he seems autistic. No matter how we try, he doesn't speak at all. Just think, if he were an ordinary child, would he react like that?"

Xiao Lin gasped in surprise, this was unexpected. "Really, not one word since he was brought back?"

"Exactly, we are indeed in a bit of a dilemma."

"Got it!"

Guo Liang drove into the jurisdiction of the Sword unit, passing some roadblocks before arriving in front of the barracks. They passed by the military hospital; Guo Liang made another remark, silenced by a glare from Xiao Lin. "Has Qing Yi arrived yet?"

"Received word just a moment ago, he's still on the way; do you want to interrogate those three right now, Young Master Xiao?"

"Take me to see that child; Qing Yi will handle the interrogation. Guo, importantly, don't mention my matters to Qing Yi."

"Haha... Understood." Guo Liang led Xiao Lin to a building. "The child is upstairs on the second floor, watched by female soldiers. This is the girls' dorm, I'll not go up, it's inconvenient."

"Uh... I'm a man too, isn't it inconvenient for me, and convenient for you?" Xiao Lin found Guo Liang's words a bit odd. He looked over Guo Liang, wondering if he regarded him as a woman. "You think I'm a woman?"

"Ah!" Although Xiao Lin's tone remained casual, the rising pitch raised goosebumps on Guo Liang. "I..." (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
