"Keep a close watch, and if nothing unusual happens, prepare to play the long game," said Nagashima Masato.
He pondered, "Once any unusual behavior is detected, make a secret arrest immediately."
"Understood." Yuu Muto nodded.
……
“Zhou Changliu is your neighbor, so you should be quite familiar with him,” Muto Yuichi said, glancing at Xue Yongze. “Tell me your initial impression of him.”
"Sir," Xue Yongze blinked, "what do you mean by 'intuitive feeling'?"
“Just tell me what kind of person you think he is, you can say whatever comes to mind,” Yuichi Muto said.
"He's handsome." Xue Yongze blurted out.
"Hmm?" Yuichi Muto frowned slightly. "I was asking about Zhou Changliu, not his wife Tao Peipei."
“It’s Zhou Changliu,” Xue Yongze said. “His daughters are already very beautiful, but if Zhou Changliu wore women’s clothes, he would be even more beautiful than his daughters.”
"You mean, Zhou Changliu is a very handsome man?" Muto Yuichi said thoughtfully.
“Yes.” Xue Yongze nodded, even giving a thumbs up, and said, “If he were to put on a costume, he would definitely be a leading man.”
“Interesting.” Yuichi Muto chuckled.
……
"Alright," Cheng Qianfan said to Hou Pingliang. "You take some men and stay at the villa to protect Madam, Miss, and Young Master. Haozi can come out with me."
"Brother Fan, Brother Haozi might not have anything to do by himself. How about we let Zhao Yi go with him?" Hou Pingliang said.
“That works.” Cheng Qianfan nodded. “Then let Zhao Yi come along.”
Just then, Li Hao drove up, parked his car, got out, and ran over, calling out, "Brother Fan."
"Was the journey smooth?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"Nothing's wrong," Li Hao said with a smile. He didn't come to Nanjing by ship with Brother Fan, but instead brought a group of people to Nanjing by train.
"Let's go," Cheng Qianfan said, handing the little sesame seed he was holding to his wife and then greeting the little baby who was playing in the garden.
……
Zhuqiao Bridge.
Li Hao parked the car on the side of the road.
"Pick me up here in three hours," Cheng Qianfan said to Li Hao as he got out of the car.
“Yes, Brother Fan,” Li Hao said.
Watching Cheng Qianfan get out of the car and leave, Zhao Yi couldn't help but ask Li Hao, "Brother Hao, aren't we going to follow and protect Brother Fan?"
"No need," Li Hao said, shaking his head.
“But,” Zhao Yi hesitated.
Then, he saw a graceful figure in the distance who walked up and took Fan Ge's arm.
"Remember, if you didn't see anything, keep your mouth shut." Li Hao started the car and drove away, turning slightly to Zhao Yi in the passenger seat as he said this.
"I know," Zhao Yi nodded and said hastily.
He vaguely heard his brothers mention that Fan was incredibly lucky with women, having many relationships, among which one of the most famous was Concubine Zhang. Could this be Concubine Zhang?
……
"Why did you suddenly come to Nanjing?" Zhang Ping asked softly, linking her arm with Cheng Qianfan's. "Are you doing well in Shanghai?"
“Nothing’s wrong in Shanghai,” Cheng Qianfan said. “They had some conflict with No. 76, so they came to Nanjing to complain.”
Zhang Ping nodded. "Nothing's wrong" means something is wrong, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly come to Nanjing.
Of course, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, because it shouldn't be anything serious that threatened her safety.
……
Zhang Ping now lives at No. 39 Zhuqiao.
This was the accommodation arranged for Zhang Ping by Li Mingzuan's wife, at Cheng Qianfan's request.
"Su Zhe sacrificed himself." Cheng Qianfan picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and then suddenly said, holding the cup with both hands.
Zhang Ping, who was peeling an apple, paused for a moment, then looked up at Cheng Qianfan.
After a long while, she murmured, "How, how could this be?"
She knew Su Zhe; he was a comrade sent by the Shanghai local party organization to infiltrate the police station.
Listening to Cheng Qianfan recount the process of Su Zhe's sacrifice.
She looked at Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan spoke at a moderate pace and in a calm tone, as if he were recounting something completely unrelated to himself, where the deceased was merely a name.
However, Zhang Ping, who was familiar with Cheng Qianfan, was able to sense the immense and painful sorrow behind Cheng Qianfan's calm demeanor.
“I looked at him and knew he was going to shoot himself,” Cheng Qianfan said. “I couldn’t even bring myself to stop him, because there were people from number 76 in the hallway outside the door.”
“You’re right,” Zhang Ping said softly.
“I really, really, really wanted to tell him, to tell him that I’m one of us, that we, we are comrades…” Cheng Qianfan said, then took a sip of water and shook his head, “but in the end I didn’t say it.”
"Do you want to have a good cry?" Zhang Ping looked at Cheng Qianfan. "It'll make you feel better if you cry it out."
"You cried." Cheng Qianfan looked at Zhang Ping, seemingly thinking for a moment and recalling the time she cried, before saying this.
Zhang Ping suddenly felt an overwhelming pang of sorrow and grief.
……
Stone Granny's Nunnery.
"Tofu! Tofu from Lao Zhang Ji! Hot tofu!"
Xia Xiaoying heard the tofu vendor's cries from inside the house, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Tofu seller." With a creak, the door opened, and Xia Xiaoying saw Qi Zhihong carrying a tofu pole. She waved and said, "Give me a piece of tofu."
"Alright." Qi Zhihong arrived at the door, put down his tofu stand, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the towel draped over his shoulder. "Which piece do you want?"
"The station chief was targeted by the enemy, but he has escaped safely," Qi Zhihong said in a low voice. "Find a way to evacuate; someone is waiting for us at the south bridgehead."
"Is the stationmaster really alright?" Xia Xiaoying asked worriedly, pointing to "this area."
"It's alright. Who's the stationmaster? The Japanese devils who can hurt him haven't even been born yet," Qi Zhihong said. "Okay, make sure you've got this spot."
"I've got it right," Xia Xiaoying said.
……
Yuichi Muto put down his binoculars, pondered for a moment, and then handed them to Xue Yongze beside him. "Do you know that person, the tofu seller?"
"I've seen him before." Xue Yongze looked at him, nodded, and said, "Zhangji Tofu, this man often sells tofu around here."
Hearing Xue Yongze say this, Muto Yuichi felt relieved.
……
house.
Xia Xiaoying calmly began to cook.
She added water to the pot and placed the meat buns on a steamer rack to steam.
She struck a match to light the stove, and after igniting a piece of wood, Xia Xiaoying quickly and methodically stuffed the confidential documents into the stove to burn.
During this process, she would use a fire poker to stir the paper, ensuring that the ashes were also destroyed, giving the enemy no chance to restore or examine it.
……
North Bridgehead.
Cheng Qianfan got off the rickshaw, paid the fare, looked around, and then pulled down the brim of his hat.
