After listening quietly to Li Dabao's explanation, Qin Xue asked:
"So Chu Molin was injured because he was covering someone else from a gunshot, right?"
"Yes!" Li Dabao nodded.
"Why did Chu Molin cover that person?" Qin Xue thought about the key point of the incident.
"Because that person is one of ours, sent by the higher-ups to be an undercover agent.
The reason we could find out about the weapon case so quickly was because of the information he provided."
Li Dabao recalled the order they received before going to the village:
They must protect a person named Jing Xin, who was hidden within the enemy ranks.
Li Dabao was beside Chu Molin at the time, and as he was not a member of the research institute before, he did not know Jing Xin.
However, the deputy director knew him and was even surprised to learn that Jing Xin was alive.
So when they found out that Jing Xin was in danger, the deputy director used his body to block the bullet.
