The reason for transporting the guns and ammunition first was also discussed by Yang Jixia and Guo Xin.

Although food is important, Yang Jixia also has the identity of a businessman to the outside world, so it is not conspicuous to use his merchant ships to transport food later.

But these guns and ammunition are different. The longer they stay in Shanghai, the greater the possibility of being discovered, and the more unrealistic it is to transport them out safely and smoothly.

We can only take away the guns and ammunition first before anyone discovers that the grain store’s warehouse has been emptied, and then find a way to get the food later.

Along with the guns and ammunition, the more than 100 boxes of gold that Tong Jia had taken away from the Fuso Consul's office were also taken away.

After the granary and the batch of guns and ammunition below were all moved away, those people left directly from the suburban county dock and would not return.

Only Tong Jia stayed. After everyone left, Tong Jia closed all the doors in the warehouse, and carefully swept away all the footprints on the ground with a large broom before leaving.

Tong Jia, who had stayed up for two consecutive nights, went to the suburbs to look for a Feng Shui site on the third day. He walked unsteadily and had dark circles under his eyes like a giant panda.

But the more she acted like this, the more she looked like a sister who was worried about her younger sister in the eyes of others.

In fact, Qiao Hua’s grave had already been found in a cemetery in the suburbs.

This was originally the family cemetery of a wealthy local tycoon in the suburbs, where only members of their family were buried.

But later, all the promising members of the family went abroad, and no one stayed in the country, leaving only two servants to look after the ancestral grave.

After the two servants died, their descendants could not find any other way to make a living, and the overseas company stopped paying them, so they started selling cemeteries.

In any case, the descendants of that local rich man are all developing abroad. In the minds of the locals, they think that this must be because smoke is coming out of their ancestral graves, and that only with good feng shui can the descendants be successful.

Therefore, the descendants of the two servants lived well by relying on this business.

Tong Jia bought a piece of land for Qiao Hua here, but she didn't plan to bury Qiao Hua here right away.

Building the cemetery takes time, and moving things from other warehouses also takes time.

After Rong Xinzhi was discharged from the hospital, her home could no longer be used as a warehouse, so they needed a place to store their belongings.

This cemetery is actually a very good "warehouse".

Most people nowadays think that cemeteries are unlucky. Except for the days when people have to visit the graves, no one comes here at other times.

The two grave keepers rarely come here except when someone buys a cemetery plot and then brings people here.

Tong Jia used the excuse that she would hire someone to do a major renovation on the tombstone, and specially set up a temporary shed at the entrance of the cemetery as a place for the tombstone repair workers to sleep at night.

In fact, all the workers who repaired the tombstones were members of the organization.

In three days, they found all the warehouses and prioritized transferring guns, ammunition and a batch of gold. Before Rong Xinzhi was discharged from the hospital, they also successfully loaded and shipped the grain temporarily stored in her home.

As of now, Tong Jia's mission has been completed.

Next, it is the work of other comrades.

After Tong Jia and Rong Xinzi accompanied Rong Xinzhi out of the hospital, Rong Xinzhi found that her home was different from before. She asked excitedly, "Has any of you been back?"

The two servants waved their hands and said, "We have been in the hospital taking care of Madam. We haven't even changed our clothes and haven't been back at all."

Tong Jia said, "I came here and asked someone to clean up for you. But I definitely didn't touch anything in your room. If there's anything different from before you were in the hospital, it must have been messed up by Qiao Hua when he was rummaging through your things.

Do you have any valuables at home? Go and check if they are still there. If not, let's call the police now.

If it's still there, don't think too much about it. Just go back to your room, lie down and have a good rest.

I have already bought the plot for Qiao Hua's grave. I am currently working overtime to build the tombstone and dig the grave chamber. The coffin is also being built in an expedited manner.

You rest at home for two days, and we'll wait for your brother-in-law's notification before we go get Qiao Hua's body and take care of the funeral."

Rong Xinzhi shook off the arms of Rong Xinzi and Tian Ma who were supporting her, and climbed the stairs with difficulty, holding on to the handrail.

Rong Xinzi and the two servants wanted to follow, but Tong Jia stopped Rong Xinzi and Tian Ma stopped the two servants.

About ten minutes later, Rong Xinzhi's voice came from upstairs: "Everything is still there, big sister, please come up."

Tong Jia didn't move, and shouted upstairs: "I won't go up, let your second sister stay here with you.

I haven't slept well these days, so I'm going home to catch up on some sleep.

I have to accompany your brother-in-law to a follow-up visit tomorrow, so I can't come. If you have anything, you can ask someone to come to my house and tell me, or you can call me.

If your brother-in-law is okay, we'll come see you together the day after tomorrow."

After saying that, she took Tian Ma away.

When she got home, Tao Junle was already waiting for her at the door.

As soon as I saw her come back, I pulled her upstairs, took her back to her room, and told her to go to bed quickly.

Tong Jia rubbed Tao Junle's head and said, "Our Lele is the one who cares about others. I haven't had time to rest these past two days, and you haven't had any rest either, right?

Now, although things are not completely over, at least my mission is completed.

I can sleep well, and so can you."

Yang Jixia has been busy dealing with the customs clearance documents for those cargo ships these days and has not returned.

So, Tao Junle lay on Yang Jixia's bed in the cloakroom, watching over Tong Jia who was sleeping on the big bed in the master bedroom. He felt the long-lost peace in his heart and slowly fell asleep.

This dream was not a very pleasant one. I fell asleep with a smile on my face, but woke up drenched in sweat.

In his dream, he saw Tong Jia buried in a sea of fire. He wanted to save her, but his limbs were unable to move. In the end, he could only stay by her side and turn into ashes with her.

In fact, Tao Junle was not afraid of death. He had been willing to beg for food and become a beggar to survive, just to find a chance to avenge his parents.

Now Tong Jia has avenged his parents for him, and he no longer has any obsessions in this world.

After his parents passed away, Tong Jia became the person closest to him.

It was also a blessing for him to be able to die with Tong Jia.

However, he was not afraid of death, but he did not want Tong Jia to die in such pain and be burned by fire before dying.

After waking up in shock, Tao Junle left the cloakroom and stood beside the bed in the master bedroom, looking at Tong Jia who was still sleeping soundly without blinking, for fear that something might happen to Tong Jia in the blink of an eye.

He wasn't sure whether this dream represented some kind of omen, nor did he want to tell this dream and make Tong Jia upset.

But he silently made a decision in his heart, that is, no matter what mission Tong Jia went on in the future, he would follow her, so that he could discover anything wrong at the first time.

Tong Jia had no idea what Tao Junle was thinking. She had hardly slept at all in the past two days. Now that she finally had a comfortable bed, she slept straight through the night.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Tao Junle sitting on the carpet beside the bed reading a book.

Tong Jia looked out the window, then turned around and asked, "Why is Lele sitting here reading? I slept too long and got jet lag. It's already dark."

Tao Junle used sign language to say: "Sister, you have been too busy recently and I have no time to spend time with you. I wanted to spend more time with you, so I came to your room to read."

Mother Tian had already prepared the meal and was keeping it warm in the pot.

Let's go downstairs to eat now, and then I'll take you out for a walk. When we come back, you can play chess with me.

Also, I haven't been inside for a long time since I moved here. Could you take me in to read a book today?

Seeing Tao Junle's sign language, Tong Jia suddenly realized that although she still took Tao Junle with her when she went out during this period, the communication between the two was indeed not as much as before. She immediately promised with a little guilt: "Of course I can.

Yang Jixia and Guo Xin probably won't be back these days. After dinner, let's go to your room. I'll take you into the RV to read a book for an hour before coming out.

If they ask, just say I'm teaching you how to read."

Tao Junle was very happy and hoped that Yang Jixia and Guo Xin could stay busy for a while longer. She used sign language to show her concern: "Sister, will it take a long time for them to come back this time?"

Tong Jia shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Those Japanese are so cunning. They have warehouses everywhere, and the things inside are all kinds of things.

The most important guns, ammunition, food and medicines have been shipped away, and it is estimated that cotton and boots will be loaded onto the ship tomorrow.

The remaining fabrics are a bit of a problem. The quality is very good, thick, stain-resistant, and wear-resistant, but that's the problem with the color...

Yang Jixia said that they had to find a dyeing workshop to re-dye the cloth before they could ship it out.

This is quite time-consuming, and it will take at least half a month to finish it."

When Tao Junle heard that Yang Jixia and the others would not be back for about half a month, he jumped three feet high and was extremely happy.

When he took Tong Jia downstairs to eat, his steps were much lighter than before.

When Tian's mother saw this, she smiled and said, "What good thing happened? Why is our Lele so happy?"

Tao Junle smiled brightly at Tian's mother and wrote in his notebook: "My sister said that she is done with her work these days and will come to my room every night to continue teaching me to read and learn knowledge."

"Then this is indeed a good thing, we should be happy." Tian's mother naturally likes children who like to study very much.

But during the meal, Tong Jia found that she always seemed to be hesitant to speak, especially when she said she wanted to take Tao Junle out for a walk, she wanted to open her mouth to stop her.

Tong Jia was worried that something had gone wrong with the supply delivery. When she asked Tao Junle to go upstairs to get her coat, she asked, "Mother Tian, you seem to be worried. Could there be something wrong with their cargo ship?"

Tian Ma waved her hands and said, "No, no. There's no news from over there, so I guess everything is going well.

I do have something to tell you, but... well... Diao Ren discovered this and told me before dinner.

He asked me to ask you what to do.

I have also been thinking about how to start the conversation.

Don't tell me? I'm afraid that Diao Ren's worries will become true and your sister will make a mistake. Tell me? Neither of your two sisters is a worry-free person. You have to be busy again and have no time for yourself. "

Tong Jia asked, "What exactly happened? Diao Ren came over and told me about it, so it should be about Rong Xinzi. What did she do?"

Tian's mother said: "She is not doing anything now. This afternoon, she returned to her home.

As soon as she got home, she took a pen and paper and walked around the house. She asked Diao Ren about the origin and purchase price of each of the ornaments on the antique display cabinet. For some things that Diao Ren didn't know, she went directly to ask Diao Yongting.

Diao Ren thought her behavior was very abnormal, so he wanted to ask her what she wanted to do. She could tell him directly and he could help.

But when I went to look for him, I found that Rong Xinzi had even written down the jewelry in his dressing table on a piece of paper. This behavior was very strange.

It was not until the servant of Rong Xinzhi's family asked Rong Xinzi to go to Rong Xinzhi's house again that he and Diao Yongting learned that Qiao Hua had passed away and left a house to Rong Xinzhi.

Diao Yongting's face turned very ugly at that moment. He was so angry that he picked up a Ming Dynasty porcelain vase at hand and smashed it without thinking.

This matter... you see..."

As early as when she was in the hospital, Tong Jia felt that Rong Xinzi's mood was not right. When she arrived at Rong Xinzhi's house, this feeling became even more obvious.

However, she didn't want to interfere.

Originally, Yang Jixia wanted to get rid of Diao Yongting for the safety of his family, but he was worried that it would affect his mission, so he couldn't do it on his own.

If Rong Xinzi could really accomplish this task for them, it would be a blessing in disguise.

However, Diao Yongting must not be allowed to get into trouble in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, otherwise, neither she nor Yang Jixia would be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Tong Jia changed the route of her walking tonight and took Tao Junle directly to Rong Xinzi's house.

Coincidentally, Rong Xinzi had also returned from Rong Xinzhi's house after having dinner, and the three of them met at the door.

Tong Jia didn't go in, and let Tao Junle stand at the door. She took Rong Xinzi a few steps away and whispered to her, "Did you have any inappropriate thoughts about Xiaozhi's matter?"

Rong Xinzi's eyes widened, unable to believe how Tong Jia knew this. She stuttered and denied, "What...what shouldn't you be thinking? Big...big sister, I...don't understand what you're saying."

"You are my sister, I don't want you to be confused. I know Diao Yongting treats you badly and you feel resentful.

But you need to know where this is? This is Shanghai. We have connections, and Diao Yongting and the Diao family definitely have as many connections as we do. Your brother-in-law and I are just starting out, but they've been running this business for decades.

You are the type who can't hide things. You just came back for a while in the afternoon and someone discovered something.

If you really do it, can you still get away with it?

Listen to my advice and bear with it for now. I'll ask your brother-in-law to help think of a way to get him transferred as soon as possible.

Try to transfer back to your hometown. At least there will be someone to support you there. What do you think?"

After knowing that Tong Jia did not object to his plan and was willing to help him, Rong Xinzi was so happy that he cried.

Tong Jia patted her on the back to comfort her, and left with Tao Junle without entering the house.

In the next few days, both Rong Xinzi and Rong Xinzhi calmed down.

Half a month later, Yang Jixia and Guo Xincai returned to Shanghai exhausted.

From the tired but happy expressions on their faces, Tong Jia knew that all the things they moved out of the Japanese warehouse this time were sent to places in need of support.

Tong Jia felt happier when she thought about how her efforts would help reduce unnecessary casualties among those on long marches and battles.
