Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

Su Bai looked at the translated telegram from Zhou Beiwang, hesitating.

Kill Liu?

I saved his life, and he also saved my life. He risked his life for me more than once.

I can't remember how much he has helped me.

Speaking of death, he really deserved it. He tied up so many women and children from the Confucius Mansion and took them to the mountain, and even chopped off a finger every day. It was completely inhumane.

Just when Su Bai didn't know how to reply to Zhou Beiwang, Zi Yan put forward her opinion. With Liu Yiyan's strength, it would be effortless for Zhou Beiwang to go up the mountain and destroy him.

However, if we want to suppress them, we must eradicate Liu Yiyan's forces all at once and not let any of them go.

If anyone slips through the net, it will be more troublesome in the future. They will not follow any rules when they avenge Liu Yiyan.

We know that Liu Yizhong has spies in the city, but we don't know how many spies he has. We only know about the poor woman Xiao Chunhong in Zuihuayuan.

Su Bai understood. Although Zi Yan didn't know whether Liu Yiyan should be killed or not, she gave Su Bai an idea.

She called Zhou Beiwang back: Try to capture him alive.

Zi Yan clapped her hands, she thought this was the best way. If they could capture Liu Yiyan alive, even if there were some bandits who had escaped, they would not dare to act rashly.

……

Su Bai was awakened by the ringing of the phone. When he opened his eyes, another day had passed. Today was already September 9nd.

I slept very late last night. If it weren't for this call, Su Bai would have planned to sleep until 9 o'clock, which was the time when he would talk to Kong Man on the phone.

Although he had told Kong Man that the radio station here was available 24 hours a day, it would not be as convenient for her to send messages in Liu Yiyan's hands.

The premise is that she is really in Liu Yimian's hands.

Although there were no obvious flaws in Kong Man's telegram, and the people Zhou Beiwang sent to inquire also confirmed that the ladies of the Kong Mansion were indeed not in the mansion, Su Bai still could not fully believe this matter. Everything had to wait until Zhou Beiwang returned from Wohu Mountain before a conclusion could be made.

The call was from Wan Qili, who told Su Bai that the Japanese reinforcements from Hongkou had arrived last night. They attacked southward without stopping for a moment. St. Mary's Primary School and St. Peter's Cathedral where the Ninth Medical Team was located were bombarded, causing heavy casualties.

As of early this morning, the Japanese positions had advanced nearly two kilometers to the south.

"Then... St. Mary's and the Cathedral are both under the control of the Japanese army?" Su Bai knew that St. Mary's was about one kilometer away from the fighting and confrontation positions between the enemy and us, and St. Peter's Cathedral was a little further away, but less than 1.5 kilometers away from the front line.

The Japanese army advanced two kilometers to the south, and St. Mary and the Cathedral naturally fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

"Yes," Wan Qili told Su Bai that the two sides were currently engaged in a fierce street fighting in a large residential area south of St. Peter's Basilica.

This was the residential area where Su Bai was tricked into taking photos after being kidnapped last time. More than half of the houses there had been reduced to rubble.

"How many casualties did the Fifth Rescue Team suffer? How is Sister Shi?"

Wan Qili said that the statistics and reporting of post-war losses were not the responsibility of the Military Control Commission, and there is currently no specific list of casualties.

However, she would be able to find out soon, and she advised Su Bai not to worry, saying that Dr. Shi was blessed with a good life and would be fine. She would inform Su Bai as soon as she had any news.

"No way?" Zi Yan shouted, "Doctor Shi is leaving for Wuhan in the next few days. Damn the devils, why would they attack at this time?"

Wan Qili said that it is now known that Nanjing has set up a special investigation team to investigate the murder of Dr. Kang, with a director of the Military Intelligence Bureau as the team leader. This level of responsibility shows the importance attached to this case.

Many people died on the battlefield every day. Su Bai and Wan Qili both knew that Dr. Kang’s death was just a fuse. What they really cared about was penicillin and Lan Jieru, whose name the Japanese never mentioned.

Once the investigation team arrived, the name Lan Jieru could no longer be kept secret. In fact, it was not a secret to begin with. The Japanese were just trying to be mysterious.

Wan Qili also said that after the 5th Rescue Team and St. Mary were attacked and forced to relocate, the special operations team encountered more trouble during the investigation, which would slow down the progress of the investigation.

According to Luo Pinzhang, the leader of the special investigation team has met with Shanghai Station Chief Zhou. Although he said that the cooperation of Shanghai Station is needed, he did not tell Shanghai Station anything.

We still abandoned the Shanghai station, just for the sake of face.

Therefore, it is still unknown to what extent the special investigation team's investigation has progressed.

Su Bai felt that no matter how far they went, he must leave Shanghai as soon as possible.

However, Dr. Shi’s life or death is currently unknown, so he cannot go to Wuhan immediately.

Also, Su Bai wanted to wait for news from Zhou Beiwang.

Zhou Beiwang told Su Bai last night that he would send scouts into the mountain before dawn today to find out the terrain around Wohu Mountain, Liu Yiyan's sentries and firepower deployment, and the place where the hostages in the Confucius Mansion were being held.

If all goes well, the deployment will be completed after noon, the battle will be resolved before dark, and no bandits will be left behind.

Zhou Beiwang was making preparations for the battle at this time, and Su Bai couldn't disturb him.

It was already nine o'clock. Su Bai tried to send a one-word confirmation message to Kong Man, but unexpectedly he received a response so quickly.

Kong Man told Su Bai that Liu Yiyan asked them to keep the radio on all day so that they could receive Su Bai's telegram.

So far, Kong Man and Kong Yun have not met Liu Yiyan in person. The people who are monitoring them and coming to deliver messages are all Liu Yiyan's subordinates, and Kong Yun knows almost all of them.

According to them, Liu Yiyan has been recuperating from his injuries since returning from Shanghai and rarely goes out.

These people were quite polite to the two sisters and basically did not restrict their movements. They could walk out of the cave to get some fresh air at any time, but there were always people accompanying them with guns, and their range of activities was limited to the slope outside the cave entrance.

Everyone in the Confucius Mansion was locked up in the same big cave, but the others did not have the same treatment. If they wanted to breathe, they could only stand at the cave entrance for a short while, and they would be pushed back into the cave in less than five minutes.

After finishing the telegram with Su Bai last night, the bandit guarding the radio station wanted to report the situation to Liu Yiyan. Kong Yun wanted to go with him but was rejected.

However, he brought the words of plea that Kong Yun asked him to pass on to Liu Yiyan, and came to tell Kong Yun early this morning that Commander Liu told Kong Yun not to worry, as long as she was obedient, he would never make things difficult for her.

"Shit commander!" Su Bai couldn't help but curse out loud after receiving the telegram.

But Liu Yiyan also asked the bandit to tell Kong Yun not to plead for others anymore. If he angered him, he would not even give Kong Yun special treatment.

Liu Yiyan is really cruel. He really chopped off a person's fingers this morning and dragged the fifth concubine to watch them chopping off fingers. The fifth concubine has been back for more than an hour, and she is still crying and shaking all over. She is terrified.

"Whose fingers were chopped off?" Su Bai asked quickly.

Kong Man was more skilled in sending telegrams than Su Bai and replied quickly.

The fifth concubine said that she knew the young man whose fingers were chopped off. He used to be a servant in the Confucius Mansion and left the Confucius Mansion when the fourth concubine took over.

The Fifth Concubine could not remember the servant's name, but she only remembered that his surname seemed to be Niu.

Su Bai jumped up suddenly and asked, "Your last name is Niu?"

The twelve people led by Niu Yanzi are all from Niujia Village. Except for Niu Yanzi and Niu Fuping, half of the others have the surname Niu!

This damn Liu Yiyan!
