Su Bai was not like Han Xiaoxiao and Wan Qili who had almost memorized the code book. Except for some unfamiliar words that required looking up the code book, he could almost write down the contents while receiving the telegram.

Su Bai had to write down the received telegram first and then translate it using a code book.

Some commonly used characters can also reach the level of Han Xiaoxiao and Wan Qili.

When Su Bai wrote down the translated messages on paper one by one, Xu Tianyi, who was watching from behind, cursed: "Ma Da, you bastard, what's the big deal about bullying a whole yard of women!"

"Liu Yiyan..." Xu Tianyi interrupted Zi Yan before she could finish her words: "Don't you know that Liu Yiyan is his alias? Wearing a broken eye patch should be called keeping one eye. Sooner or later, he will lose both eyes!"

"Shut up, if you hadn't caused trouble and prevented us from going there..."

"You shut up too!" Su Bai turned around and shouted angrily.

Zi Yan kept her mouth shut normally, but Xu Tianyi was different. Zi Yan's words touched his sore spot and he completely wilted.

"What did you want to say just now?" Su Bai turned around and asked Zi Yan.

Zi Yan meant that Liu Yiming kidnapped the entire family of the Kong Mansion, which has nothing to do with us. It is our duty if we intervene, and it is also our responsibility if we do not intervene. She asked Su Bai to think about how they bullied people when they were in the Kong Mansion.

"Kong Man and Kong Yun have never bullied me, right? Neither have the Third Miss and the Fourth Miss, right?" Su Bai asked.

"What should we do? If you want to save them, you have to sacrifice yourself. Liu Yiyan wants to force you to go back!" Zi Yan was anxious. She turned around and asked Xu Tianyi who was already standing in the back: "We shouldn't save the people in the Kong Mansion, right?"

Xu Tianyi was already feeling uneasy about the trouble he had caused to Su Bai by rashly killing Dr. Kang. Although Su Bai did not blame him, Zi Yan's blunt rebuke just now made him extremely painful and he fell into deep self-blame. Now that Zi Yan asked him again, he just nodded woodenly.

At this time, Kong Man called again and told Su Bai that they were all on the mountain, but not on Wohu Mountain.

I was blindfolded when I went up the mountain and had no idea what kind of place this was. When they kidnapped people, they also brought the radio up the mountain.

At this moment, Liu Yiyan's people were watching them sending the message from behind, but they didn't understand and didn't know what she sent.

This time the telegram was sent at the instruction of Liu Yiyan, asking her to inform Su Bai that from tomorrow onwards, one finger of each person should be chopped off every day. If Su Bai comes back sooner, perhaps she can see one or two people with fingers.

Su Bai quickly sent a telegram asking, "Whose body are you going to chop off tomorrow?"

I don’t know yet. Liu Yiyan’s people didn’t say.

Su Bai looked back at Zi Yan and Xu Tianyi. The two immediately responded to Su Bai's expression. They wanted to hear their opinions. Was Liu Yiyan trying to scare people, or could he really do such a thing?

Zi Yan shook her head. It was hard to say and she was not sure.

Xu Tianyi lowered his head and said only four words: "He is a bandit."

The meaning is very clear. For Liu Yiyan, chopping off someone's fingers is no big deal.

After thinking about it, Su Bai told Kong Man that he was under surveillance in Shanghai and could not go back even if he wanted to.

Zi Yan gave Su Bai a thumbs up behind her.

Kong Man’s next telegram surprised Su Bai and moved him.

She told Su Bai that she, Kong Yun, the third daughter Kong Hong and the fourth daughter Kong Ling all missed their sister-in-law very much, but they did not want Su Bai to come back, and they could not let their sister-in-law be defiled by saving them.

She told Su Bai not to worry, she and Kong Yun would discuss it carefully and they would find a solution.

Kong Yun and Liu Yiyan had a good relationship before, so he felt that he should give him some face.

All Su Bai could do was to let Kong Man delay time and deceive Liu Yiyan, saying that he was trying to escape and would return to Longxing once he escaped surveillance.

After finishing the telegram with Kong Man, Su Bai suddenly had another guess. It was not only Liu Yiyan who wanted him to return to Longxing, but also Kong Man and Kong Yun.

Could it be that these two little brats were colluding with Liu Yiyan to deceive me and put on a show?

He contacted Zhou Beiwang immediately. Since it was almost midnight, Zhou Beiwang happened to be at his brigade headquarters.

Su Bai asked Zhou Beiwang to send someone to Confucius Mansion to see how many people were left inside and who they were.

She told Zhou Beiwang that her radio station had been on 24 hours a day in recent days and she would send him messages at any time if there was any news.

Zhou Beiwang's brigade headquarters was the earliest headquarters of the Longxing Garrison Battalion, which was just opposite the Confucius Mansion. In less than half an hour, Zhou Beiwang got the news that there were only a few servants in the Confucius Mansion.

According to these servants, they slept very deeply last night, as if they had been drugged. When they woke up this morning, they found that all the ladies and their personal maids in the mansion were gone, and the housekeeper was also gone.

These people originally thought that they were out for fun, most likely to Linhua's business. It was not until dark when no one came back that they felt something was wrong and prepared to go to the police station to report the case early the next morning.

"It seems to be true?" Su Bai looked up at Zi Yan who had been standing next to him, and Zi Yan nodded.

Su Bai remembered that the last time Kong Man reported that Yang Huasen was missing and Kong Dai went into the mountains but couldn't find him.

He asked whether this matter was related to Zhou Beiwang, and whether the news that he was planning to go into the mountains to suppress Yang leaked out, which led to Yang Huasen's transfer.

No, Zhou Beiwang said that Yang Huasen has five or six hundred people, and his independent brigade currently has less than five hundred people. Although their equipment is better than Yang Huasen's troops, they will not gain any advantage by going into the mountains and fighting on terrain that Yang Huasen is familiar with. Even if they can severely injure Yang Huasen, his losses will not be small.

He had no plan to suppress the bandits at all, let alone Yang Huasen, not to mention Xu Laohei who had a close relationship with Yang Huasen. He would not even suppress Liu Yiyan, the weakest bandit at the moment.

Although Zhou Beiwang recruited his own soldiers, the money was given by the provincial government, and the independent brigade was also equipped with the latest equipment. In addition to the security guard of Longxing City, the most important task was to keep an eye on Kong Li. Chairman Han also wrote a letter to Zhou Beiwang, asking him to be prepared to eliminate Kong Li if he was found sending ore to other places.

Although Yang Huasen went into the mountains, he was different from Xu Laohei and Liu Yiyan. He was not a bandit and never went down the mountain to disturb the people, so there was no need to fire at him.

As for Xu Laohei and Liu Yiyan, they have not taken any action in recent days.

According to Zhou Beiwang, as long as these people on the mountain do not come to Longxing City to cause trouble, everything will be fine. Zhou Beiwang's energy is all on expanding the army and training new recruits. Seeing the Japanese army moving south, even if there is no conflict with Kong Li, he has to be prepared to deal with the Japanese army that is likely to arrive soon.

"Kong Man lied to us when he sent a telegram last time!" Zi Yan said immediately.

"She didn't lie to us," Su Bai spoke for Kong Man, saying that Zhou Beiwang had a plan to eliminate Yang Huasen, which led to Yang Huasen's transfer. It was she and Kong Dai who guessed it. Kong Dai had never seen Yang Huasen, so he had no way to confirm it.

Because of Zhou Beiwang's relationship with Su Bai, it is no exaggeration to say that Kong Man and Kong Dai hated Zhou Beiwang to the core. Kong Dai even shot Zhou Beiwang.

It's normal for them to think of Zhou Beiwang when they have problems.

Su Bai thought about it and sent another telegram to Zhou Beiwang, telling him the approximate location of Wohu Mountain and asking him to send troops into the mountain. If it was confirmed that the people from the Kong Mansion were kidnapped by Liu Yiyan, then he should help rescue them.

Zhou Beiwang quickly called back: What about Liu Yiyan, should I still spare his life?
