The Bravest

Lin Jie understood Ye Wulian’s concerns, so he told her what had happened in the past two days.

Lin Jie analyzed proudly, as if he had seen through Liu Ziming. But before he could finish his words, he was slapped twice.

"You're so proud of having three wives, right? Why didn't you tell me that you have others outside?" Ye Wulian broke free from Lin Jie's arms and hit him hard on the arm twice.

"Ahem, I was just giving an example. He's easy to be suspected. Really, I hinted at him. It's all for his own good."

"Really? I think you are just making excuses for yourself." Ye Wulian looked at Lin Jie angrily. How could she have thought that Lin Jie was an honest man? She naively thought that she could pull Lin Jie into her camp.

"Wulian, I was forced to do this. It's all for you. Otherwise, I would have run away by now. Why would I have to take risks here?"

Lin Jie was as thick-skinned as a city wall and pushed all the responsibility away.

"Are you still blaming me now? Blaming me for dragging you into the Military Control Commission?"

This is the hidden worry in Ye Wulian's heart, and it is also the root cause of why she has always indulged Lin Jie in messing around outside. She feels that it was she who pushed Lin Jie into this bottomless vortex.

"Wulian, please stop thinking about it. I have never blamed you, it's just..." Lin Jie didn't expect Ye Wulian to react so strongly, and he regretted how he could be so outspoken.

"What is it? Tell me?" Ye Wulian felt as if she was being stabbed by a needle. She really wanted to spend her whole life with Lin Jie. But she really didn't know what Lin Jie was thinking.

"I'm just afraid that you'll scold me! I really have never blamed you. Also, don't underestimate me. I also want to drive the Japanese out of China. Even if you weren't there, I would have taken this path sooner or later."

"Really? You really don't blame me for dragging you into this?" Ye Wulian wiped away her tears. As long as Lin Jie had never resented her, everything was still possible.

"Of course, if you weren't here, I would definitely sneakily fuck the devils from time to time. With my professionalism, one a day shouldn't be a problem, right? That's over 300 bucks a year, which should be quite satisfying."

As Lin Jie spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck, which finally made Ye Wulian happy.

"What's the use of that? Saving the country can't be done this way. We need to unite as one. An individual can't make a big difference."

"If you don't show up, where can I find people to unite with? There are spies all around me. I can't just say to them, 'Brother, let's kill the devils together!'"

"Puchi, you can give it a try! Maybe you can really find it!" Ye Wulian looked at Lin Jie's funny expression and finally smiled.

"Humph, I'm not that stupid! If I hadn't met you, I would have gone to Pudong. There are guerrillas there. The Communist Party fights the Japanese and is much smarter than the Military Control Commission. It's just a little poor, but they are all good people!"

Lin Jie deliberately joked like this to see Ye Wulian's reaction. Sure enough, when Ye Wulian heard what Lin Jie said, her expression changed, and she took a deep breath before speaking to Lin Jie seriously.

"Xiao Jie, don't say such things casually, it could cost someone's life."

In fact, Ye Wulian was very surprised. Did Lin Jie really have such an idea? Should I tell him the truth now, or wait until the Japanese are driven away?

"Tsk, you're my wife, how could you possibly harm me? By the way, Wu Lian, after we win, you don't need to be a soldier anymore. How about you do business with me? Fighting and killing is boring."

Lin Jie looked at Ye Wulian with longing, as if he had already seen the future.

"No, if you lose your military identity, how can you prove that you are not a traitor? Our whole family will die."

Ye Wulian flatly rejected Lin Jie's idea. Not to mention whether the Military Control Commission could withdraw, just the fact that Lin Jie was a traitor must be proven by the Military Control Commission, and she had to continue fighting.

"Hey, I'm not saying that we should withdraw as soon as the Japanese leave. We should retire when the situation stabilizes. That should be fine, right?"

"It's not that simple. After defeating the Japanese, there is still the Communist Party!" Ye Wulian was also worried about the future. The Kuomintang has never given up on cracking down on dissidents.

"Hey, let me tell you a piece of news. The Communist Party intends to form a coalition government and has been active everywhere. Many democratic parties have expressed their support. The country should be stable soon."

"Where did you get the information? Is it accurate?" Ye Wulian was shocked. She had been too far away from intelligence during this period and was not clear about many things.

"What do I do? You don't think that I, Lin Jie, can only make money!"

Lin Jie smiled triumphantly, as if nothing in this world could be hidden from him.

"Humph, besides being good at making money, you are also good at finding women."

Ye Wulian rolled her eyes at Lin Jie to hide her shock. If a coalition government is formed, will there really be peace in the future? Then will her work be done?

"Be serious. I'm talking to you about national affairs now. Don't talk about love affairs all day long." Lin Jie said seriously and changed the subject.

"Let me ask you, what will you do after victory? The Nationalist government's New Style Movement requires monogamy, and let's not talk about the Communist Party. People like you will be shot several times. And Yuelan and Michiko are Japanese, what will they do in the future?"

Ye Wulian couldn't hold back any longer and said everything in her heart. She was very anxious about this matter, but it was still the Anti-Japanese War period and she didn't know how to say it. Since Lin Jie mentioned what would happen after the victory, Ye Wulian couldn't help but ask Lin Jie.

"Ah, how about I divorce them all and leave you alone?"

"Tsk, are you willing to do that? Besides, they have children!"

Ye Wulian knew, of course, that Lin Jie said that just to cheer her up, but even though she knew it was fake, she was still very happy.

"Wulian, let me ask you a question. If I hadn't met you at the beginning, and had gone to Pudong to join the guerrillas and become a communist, would you have arrested me if you saw me again?"

Lin Jie suddenly and inexplicably asked a hypothetical question, leaving Ye Wulian at a loss as to how to answer it, and she could only respond perfunctorily.

"The KMT and the CPC are cooperating now, why would I arrest you?"

"I mean, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War."

"Then catch him and lock him up in the room. You will be mine alone." Ye Wulian was a little afraid of Lin Jie's question. She didn't know whether Lin Jie had faith or not, and she didn't dare to think about it.

"Wulian, I hope we can always be together." Lin Jie hugged Ye Wulian back into his arms and stroked her hair. He was determined to pull Ye Wulian out of the quagmire of the Military Control Commission.

"Honey, what you said today was so strange. Do you have something to tell me?" Ye Wulian felt that Lin Jie was different.

"Wulian, the Japanese are almost finished. I have been wondering, can the KMT and the CPC really continue to cooperate? The philosophies of the two sides are too different. If a war breaks out, ah..."

"So, you're thinking about retiring, right?"

"Wulian, internal fighting is the most boring thing. I can't bear to see Chinese fighting Chinese. If that's the case, will you come with me?"

"The Military Control Commission has its own rules. What if I can't leave?"

"Wife, I want to come here too. I will continue to be a corrupt official and build relationships, and you will keep having children. Then you don't have to get involved in those shitty things. What do you think?"

"Puchi, do you think I'm a pig?" Ye Wulian was amused by Lin Jie's bad idea. But it seemed not bad. When Ye Wulian thought about it, her face turned red and she hit Lin Jie again.

"Hey, how about you tell me what to do? I'll listen to you."

"You really listen to me?" Ye Wulian's heart moved, and she wanted to test Lin Jie's bottom line, so she said jokingly:

"Then go and make some connections and get a job as a webmaster, and no one will care about us anymore."
