Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

Chen Yue returned to safe house number two. The neighbor didn't see Aunt Fang and asked where they had been. Jiang Yue smiled and said, "We went back to our hometown."

"Ah, you're back home? Isn't it good to stay here? You don't even want your son anymore, haha."

Jiang Yue laughed: "I have something to do in my hometown and need to go back. I don't know when I will come."

Jiang Yue went back to the room, put on some makeup, changed her clothes, put on a hat, lowered the brim of it, and went out. The first thing she did was to report that there had been a message posted, which roughly meant that they should wait for her at safe house number three from 3 to 5 p.m. every day within seven days.

Jiang Yue looked at the time and saw that it was still early. The registration information would not be visible to Chen Xin until tomorrow at the latest. Jiang Yue originally wanted to go to Chen's house to take a look, but was afraid that there might be spies setting up controls there and he would fall into a trap if he went there. He did not dare to go to his own home or shop either. Jiang Yue thought about it and decided to go to safe house number three to take a look.

Safe House No. 3 is a department store, and several of its best-selling items are purchased from Chen's Business. Jiang Yue had previously considered how to find out information without leaving any trace if anything happened to Chen Yue or her.

In the end, Jiang Yue also opened a trading company with a fake identity. This person was sailing abroad all year round and only returned to Shanghai a few times a year. It was normal that he could not be contacted sometimes, and the shopkeeper would not be suspicious. He also did not have to go to the store at a fixed time.

In this case, once something happens, the Chen family business will definitely be stagnant or even go bankrupt for a period of time, and the store's supply of goods will also be a problem. The shopkeeper will definitely find out what happened, so he will have an excuse to ask for some information.

"The guests have arrived!"

The rickshaw stopped when Jiang Yue closed her eyes to rest. Jiang Yue opened her eyes, got off the rickshaw, paid the fare and walked towards the store. As soon as the door was opened, the shopkeeper was about to speak when he saw Jiang Yue: "Boss, you are here?"

"Well, I finally came back to take a break and see how business is going and if there are any problems."

"There's no big problem. It's just that the Chen Family Business that supplied us has been closed down. Some of our best-selling products have been out of stock for a few days. But I'm looking for other channels to supply them. I think the problem will be solved soon."

Jiang Yue pretended to be surprised and said, "Chen's Business? Isn't it an old business? What happened?"

Shopkeeper Zhang looked around, leaned close to Jiang Yue and whispered, "I don't know the details, but I heard that their boss is a member of the Red Party, and the company was closed down by the Japanese."

"Ah? That won't affect us, right?"

"It doesn't matter. I have found a new supplier and will restock the stock in the next few days."

Jiang Yue nodded and looked at Shopkeeper Zhang: "That's good. Chen Tianxiang's daughter is in charge of Chen's business, right? Can a woman become a member of the Red Party?"

Shopkeeper Zhang was a little indignant: "I don't know about that. Maybe he just has a crush on the business. What kind of people are the Japanese? There are many businesses that have gone bankrupt in recent years, and many families have been separated from their wives."

There was a reason why Manager Zhang said this. When Jiang Yue was looking for a manager, the business where Manager Zhang worked happened to be targeted by the Japanese. All of them were thrown into jail on trumped-up charges and the boss died without any clear reason. It was based on this reason that Jiang Yue chose Manager Zhang to be the manager.

Jiang Yue reminded quietly: "Manager Zhang, keep your voice down and don't say this when you get out."

Shopkeeper Zhang looked around and nodded a little embarrassedly. Jiang Yue walked around the shop and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, I will come here to check the accounts starting tomorrow. After checking the accounts, I will go out to sea again. Then I will come back next year."

Shopkeeper Zhang said that he would prepare the account books, because he had been doing this since the store opened. He only came a few times a year and didn't care about anything else but check the accounts every year.

After Jiang Yue left, he did not return to the safe house. Instead, he found a hotel nearby and stayed there. He was thinking about Chen Xin's situation. He didn't know how he was doing now, whether he was arrested or injured, and why he didn't come to meet her even though he had sent her a signal to meet him.

Jiang Yue actually hoped that he was injured instead of arrested. Jiang Yue thought that if Chen Xin didn't come to meet him within seven days, he couldn't wait any longer. Even now it was still very risky. Although Chen Xin was the protagonist, she was not necessarily the protagonist of the positive side. What if she was a big villain? He would just walk into her trap. Now Jiang Yue could only take a gamble and believe in her loyalty to the party in her two lives. However, Jiang Yue also made the worst plan. If the situation was not right, he would commit suicide decisively to suffer less. After completing the mission, he would let No. 8888 take him away.

The next afternoon, Jiang Yue wore a loose robe, carried a grenade and a gun, and went to the store when she saw that it was almost time. When she got there, the shopkeeper had already made all the arrangements. He had set a table for Jiang Yue and brewed a cup of tea. Jiang Yue nodded to the shopkeeper to signal him to go about his business and not to worry about her.

Jiang Yue was drinking tea, and seemingly looking at the account book leisurely, but in fact he was observing everyone who entered the store. Because Jiang Yue knew that Chen Xin could also disguise himself, he placed a copy of Water Margin on the table, and they also agreed on a secret code for contact. Now there was no other way but to wait for Chen Xin to show up.

On the surface, Jiang Yue stood up to stretch his body after sitting for a long time, but in fact he was observing whether there were any enemies outside, and whether he was being followed or surrounded. After observing for a while and finding nothing unusual, he went back to continue looking at the account book.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yue did not wait for Chen Xin. He talked to the shopkeeper and left. Today was another fruitless day. Jiang Yue returned to the hotel, entered the room and observed the street outside, but did not notice anything unusual.

Jiang Yue's heart sank after not seeing Chen Xin for three consecutive days. Even if Chen Xin was not arrested but was just injured, his injury must have been very serious. Another possibility was that Chen Xin was no longer in Shanghai due to emergency evacuation and had no time to contact Jiang Yue. However, this possibility was very small and the two had agreed to register a missing person notice with specific content, but Jiang Yue hadn't seen it in the past two days.

On the fifth day, Jiang Yue no longer had any hope. She had considered the worst possible scenario, which was that Chen Xin was no longer alive. Jiang Yue also asked 8888, but 8888 didn't know either. He knew the same thing as Jiang Yue, which was just a rough idea of ​​the world's plot. In the real world, the story would continue to develop even if the heroine Chen Xin died.

On the sixth day, Jiang Yue had already bought a ticket for the day after tomorrow. He no longer held out hope that Chen Xin would show up. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yue greeted the shopkeeper as usual, picked up "Water Margin" and prepared to return to the hotel.

Jiang Yue was a little absent-minded when he went out. As soon as he went out, he bumped into someone and the Water Margin in his arms fell to the ground. Jiang Yue didn't see who he bumped into. He said sorry and bent down to pick up the book on the ground. Unexpectedly, the person opposite him was faster and picked it up first.

He patted the book in his hand and said, "You also like to read Water Margin? I like it too! Who do you like best in it?"
