"I can understand why the Japanese arrested me. They are beasts after all. But it is a bit hard to understand why your people arrested me." Jiang Jiyun looked at the people in front of him helplessly.

Lin De'an smiled bitterly and explained, "To be honest, we've been sidelined since we came back. Although we've been promoted, we have no real power. I'm just the acting brigade commander."

There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in his words.

Cheng Gong also sighed and said regretfully, "Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have gone with Lao Qian and the others to save money."

He seemed quite unhappy with his current situation.

Liu Meng scratched his head and said, "Besides, we are not in the same system as the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."

After hearing this, Jiang Jiyun simply said, "Uncle Qian is no longer the same as you are now."

This sentence made Lin De'an and Cheng Gong fall into deep thought.

Lin De'an suddenly stood up, walked over to Jiang Jiyun, squatted down, and said sincerely, "I can guarantee that none of us have betrayed you. Even the medicine your brother gave us, no one else knew about it. We really didn't know you were arrested, otherwise we would definitely do our best to protect you."

"I am Xiaoyun and Xiaoyuan's uncle. Your younger son and sister should have seen me when we were in Yu Province. I was worried that they would tell others our identities, so I didn't allow her to go out." Jiang Wenming spoke at this time.

Lin De'an and the others looked at Jiang Wenming. Zhang Jin remembered and asked, "When we met them, you had already crossed the river, right?"

Jiang Wenming smiled and nodded. "I've heard about you from Xiao Yuan's brother and sister, but I've never met you."

"We did too. We heard them talk about you, Sixth Grandpa, and the little girl's brother Xiaobao." Yuan Guoliang still remembered what the little girl said when she said she missed them.

Jiang Wenming looked at Lin De'an and said, "Since we are not outsiders, I have a favor that I need your help with."

"Since we are not strangers, just tell us what you have to say. We will definitely help if we can." Lin De'an saw that the little girl trusted her uncle very much.

"Here is a list of Japanese undercover agents lurking among you. You should hurry up and deal with it. Let us see your sincerity." After saying this, Jiang Wenming took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Lin De'an.

Lin De'an took the list, took a look at it, and his expression became solemn.

He knew the importance of this list and that the consequences would be disastrous if it was not handled properly.

Ma Chao smiled and watched quietly from the side. He had no objection to Jiang Wenming's decision. As long as they were not traitors, they could do this much more efficiently than his group.

Lin De'an reached out and took the paper that Jiang Wenming handed over.

His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes gradually became solemn, because he found that the paper was filled with a series of names, and his face became more and more gloomy.

He held the paper tightly, his fingers turning slightly white from the force, as if he wanted to crumple the paper into a ball.

Seeing this, Yuan Guoliang hurriedly took the paper from Lin De'an and read it carefully.

His brows furrowed more and more as he read deeper. Finally, he looked at Lin De'an with a sympathetic look. He didn't expect that his son's tutor was actually a spy.

Lin De'an looked around and sighed, "Did you destroy that Japanese stronghold?"

"Did you really do it?" Liu Meng looked at them in surprise and gave them a thumbs up.

Jiang Wenming and the others didn't say anything, neither admitting nor denying.

"We'll go back and deal with this matter right away. Just wait and see the results!" Yuan Guoliang took a deep breath and said firmly, "But we're here mainly to buy braised dishes. You can't let us go back empty-handed, right?"

After saying that, his eyes turned to the steaming pot not far away.

Hearing Yuan Guoliang's words, Chen Meng, who had been observing silently from the side, immediately walked quickly to the pot and said enthusiastically, "Let me fill it for you. This time there are pig ears, pig trotters, pig tongues, pig tails..."

"Pack them all up, we'll buy the whole pot." Liu Meng thought about taking it back for his family to try.

Lin De'an and the others didn't say much. They silently took out all the money they had and put it on the table.

Yuan Guoliang noticed that Zhang An seemed a little hesitant, so he explained, "We originally wanted to buy something for the little girl, but now we think it's better to let her choose what she likes."

Seeing this, Jiang Jiyun smiled brightly and said, "Thank you so much, uncles! But we have other things to do, so we won't keep you here any longer."

She also made a "please" gesture naturally.

Several people saw that there was still a pile of unprocessed pig heads, pig trotters and pig tails in the yard. If they were doing business, they would have to be busy for a long time tonight.

Lin De'an and his friends each held a hot braised dish in their hands and walked out of the yard as if nothing had happened. It was obvious at a glance that the braised dish had just come out of the pot.

The people who had been watching them secretly couldn't help but feel suspicious when they saw that they were really just here to buy braised dishes.

These officers came in person to buy the braised dishes. What is so special about these braised dishes?

These people secretly decided that they would buy some to try tomorrow to see if the braised dish was really worth the officers' trouble to make the trip.

In the next few days, Jiang Jiyun stayed in the yard without taking a single step out, and no one came to ask about the portrait. It was people from the neighborhood who came knocking on the door one after another to buy braised dishes.

In this way, the reputation of their braised dishes spread, and Jiang Jiyun's work became even busier.

Until one day, Ma Chao and others returned to the courtyard and brought a piece of news: "We can't go out tomorrow for the time being. The mountain city has become chaotic."

Zhang An quickly explained to Jiang Wenming and the others, "The people from the Lin Mansion have finally taken action. Recently, people have been mysteriously disappearing every day, and the people in the city are in a panic."

"Furthermore, those people disappeared without a sound, without making any movement at all. This doesn't seem like the style of Lin De'an and his group." Liu Zhiming frowned and muttered softly, "It's a bit like the methods of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics."

"It must be the Central Bureau of Investigation who took action." Zhang An said thoughtfully as he cleaned up the empty basins containing the braised dishes.

Jiang Jiyun gritted his teeth and remained silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "It's not as easy for them to act as it is for the Central Bureau of Investigation. Besides, they are definitely much more familiar with the people on the list than the Lin Mansion."

The next evening, Lin De'an and Yuan Guoliang came to the courtyard under the pretext of ordering braised dishes.

Lin De'an looked at the things in the yard and said, "Hurry up and pack your things. We have received news that the Japanese bombing has been advanced. You should hurry up and evacuate!"

"All the people on the list have been secretly arrested and dealt with. We decided to take this opportunity to secretly send our families to your side. They live here, and we are worried about them going to the battlefield. Can you help?" Yuan Guoliang asked Jiang Wenming and others.
