The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Seeing her curled up in the quilt, shivering and crying, Jiang Cheng continued, "Miss Duan, I admire your courage to assassinate me in this way...

"But what you are doing now is just being a dog for the Japanese - do you think it's worth it?"

It was obvious that the young woman was trembling all over and her expression quickly dimmed.

She was not stupid, so she listened to him.

No wonder when Zhang Jinghui was about to die together with that old man, she took out the Japanese melon grenade.

It is still unknown what kind of promises the Japanese made to her, but her desire to avenge Cai Yuanming is real.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng really wanted to strangle her to death——

But right now, he couldn't touch this woman.

Apart from anything else, this dagger should have been given to her by the Japanese recently.

No matter how dangerous the situation was before, I never saw this woman take it out.

This means that the devil has been in contact with her recently... in his Jilin Prefecture!

This happened not long after Zhang Tingshu set out.

We have to use this woman to lure the Japanese out, and now we have to use the power behind her to advance into the interior of the country.

It would be easy to kill her to vent his anger, but Jiang Cheng felt that it would not maximize his benefits.

Moreover, he had observed carefully and found that Duan Zhigui should have nothing to do with the Japanese.

If the Japanese really won over her father, would they allow such a weak woman to assassinate her?

Although the Japanese are hateful, each one of them is difficult to deal with.

But... the Japs must have run out of tricks to allow such a little girl to carry out the assassination.

Throwing his coat aside the bed, he took off his shoes, pulled back the quilt and went to sleep with his clothes on - the woman beside him had almost no reaction.

But after a few minutes, she actually said hesitantly: "Since you know, why don't you kill me?"

Jiang Cheng smiled sarcastically: "Killing you, wouldn't that be giving you relief?"

"Hmph, take good care of your life. At the moment... it's very valuable."

After saying this, without paying any attention to her, Jiang Cheng rolled up the quilt and fell asleep.

There was no need for him to be afraid of such an unarmed woman - besides, she had actually cut her wrist in order to put on this big show.

After a sleepless night, the Marshal's Mansion delivered breakfast to the two of them early.

Jiang Cheng called Yanni, the maid that Zhang Tingshu had arranged to work at Duan's house, and asked her a few questions in detail.

In addition to training many agents, Snow Fox also carefully selected many women.

Some working women have natural advantages. Yanni was placed in the Duan family. In addition to taking care of their daily life with the mother-in-law, another important purpose was to monitor the father and daughter.

It was she who brought back all the previous news to the Governor's Mansion...but there was no indication that the two had ever come into contact with the Japanese.

Jiang Cheng thought he could get some clues today, but Yanni's answer disappointed him.

"Master, I am useless and I asked you to..."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand to interrupt her frustrated apology and said indifferently: "Just be more alert in the future."

But it's really strange -

The female agent stays at Duan's house all day. She seldom goes out. Occasionally, she goes to the commercial street to buy some needles and thread. She doesn't contact anyone at all.

"Go down." Jiang Cheng waved his hand to send Yanni down. Just as he was about to go back to his room, he saw Duan Zhigui rushing over.

After asking about his daughter's situation, Duan Zhigui bowed and nodded to Jiang Cheng with great apology. He first said that he had not taught his daughter well, and then said that the girl was so stubborn. Since she was your person, Master Jiang, you could do whatever you wanted with her.

"Disposal? How should I deal with her? Beat her up or lock her up and starve her for two days?"

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng felt extremely disgusted with him.

Although he had no good feelings towards this young woman, Duan Zhigui's eating habits were extremely ugly.

Knowing what he meant, Duan Zhigui quickly changed the subject: "This, this... What I meant is, yes, it's to let me vent my anger. After all, such a big thing happened in the Marshal's Mansion."

Jiang Cheng glared at him and didn't respond. Instead, he glared at him again and asked, "Who has Xinyu been seeing recently?"

"You haven't noticed that your personality has changed so much, haven't you?"

His words startled Duan Zhigui: "This... doesn't exist?"

Such a drastic change in expression would be strange if no one had passed by.

Jiang Cheng grabbed his shoulders and used a little force, and the old man started howling.

Facing the several guards of the Marshal's Mansion who suddenly appeared in the corridor, Jiang Cheng fanned his hands at them and sneered: "Haha, my father-in-law, are you kidding me?"

As he said this, he pulled out the dagger from his waist.

When Duan Zhigui saw this thing, he thought the other party was going to kill him. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he almost knelt down in front of Jiang Cheng, begging for mercy repeatedly.

It turns out that the old guy has nothing to do with the Japs - the Japs will only cooperate with people based on their background and will not use such a fool.

"How could I kill my own father-in-law in the Marshal's Mansion?"

Jiang Cheng said sarcastically, "Let me ask you, where did this thing come from? Your daughter, are you planning to kill me with this thing?"

When these words were spoken, Duan Zhigui's reaction was even greater than when Jiang Cheng had just drawn his knife. He immediately started to curse and said that she would be in trouble and that she was so bold as to assassinate Master Jiang.

Jiang Cheng pulled him out and interrogated him coldly, and only then did he understand that the girl had indeed been much more disobedient recently and often quarreled with him.

But as to whether he had seen any suspicious person, Duan Zhigui racked his brains for a long time but could not think of one.

Jiang Cheng was not surprised by this. The Snow Fox people were very smart and even they didn't notice it. The possibility of this stupid former commander-in-chief noticing it was even smaller.

Glancing at him sideways, he kept muttering: Master Jiang, you have to believe that I am sincerely cooperating with you. We must take it back to Shandong together and become famous, etc.

His words were half true and half false, but Jiang Cheng also understood that the old man must want to deal with Shandong——

Needless to say, once he gets it back, it's his; such tangible benefits are much more important to him than his daughter's life.

When he asked about Duan Congbin again, Duan Zhigui's answer surprised Jiang Cheng -

Not only did he not know that his nephew had met Zhang Hanqing in his name... Jiang Cheng had even just told him that he was in Fengtian.

This means that both Zhang Hanqing and Duan Congbin had been hiding the truth from this guy from the beginning to the end, intending to work on their own.

"So, do you want to meet him?"

Jiang Cheng lowered his eyelids and gave a meaningful smile, "What I mean is, since we want to cooperate, we might as well speak frankly!"

…………

The meeting took place on the same day. Jiang Cheng watched helplessly as the uncle and nephew started arguing over meaningless topics - why didn't you tell me you were coming, are you planning to steal the credit, and so on.

Of course, the one with the red face and thick neck is Duan Zhigui, this noble young man from the interior of the country, who is clear-headed and speaks calmly all the time. (End of this chapter)
