The sudden question made Lu Yang's heart tighten. He calmly put down his chopsticks, picked up the teacup, and took a sip, hiding his inner panic.

"Ms. Wenjuan, you're joking. Why would I arrest a doctor?" Lu Yang smiled casually, trying to get away with it.

However, Li Wenjuan obviously didn't buy his trick. She put down her chopsticks, supported her hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Lu Yang's eyes sharply.

"Li Wenhan, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" Li Wenjuan lowered her voice, a hint of warning in her tone, "I'm telling you, that doctor is my friend. If you dare to touch a hair on his head, I will never let you go!"

Lu Yang sighed inwardly. This little girl looks innocent, but she is actually very smart. It seems that today's test will not be easy.

His eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind. He decided to turn the tables and test Li Wenjuan's background.

"Ms. Wenjuan, you misunderstood. I arrested that doctor because..." Lu Yang deliberately lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious.

"Why?" Li Wenjuan took the bait and asked.

Lu Yang looked around and made sure no one was paying attention. Then he leaned over to Li Wenjuan and whispered, "Actually, I suspect that doctor is a Communist!"

"What?!" Li Wenjuan exclaimed, stood up suddenly, and almost overturned the table.

"Shh! Keep your voice down!" Lu Yang quickly grabbed her and pushed her back into her seat, saying in a low voice, "This matter is between you and me, and you must not let anyone else know!"

Li Wenjuan finally realized she had lost her composure. She took a deep breath and lowered her voice, asking, "Are you telling the truth? Is that doctor really a Communist?"

Lu Yang nodded mysteriously and said in a low voice, "It's absolutely true! I've suspected him for a long time, but I just didn't have any evidence, so I wanted to arrest him and interrogate him thoroughly."

"Then why did you tell me?" Li Wenjuan looked at Lu Yang suspiciously.

"Because..." Lu Yang paused, looked into Li Wenjuan's eyes sincerely, and said slowly, "Because I believe in you!"

"Trust me?" Li Wenjuan repeated, her eyes full of suspicion. "Why should you trust me? Aren't you afraid that I'm sent by the Communist Party?"

Lu Yang smiled secretly in his heart. This little girl is quite cautious.

Of course, he would not tell Li Wenjuan that he already knew her identity. He chose to confess to Li Wenjuan because, on the one hand, he wanted to test her background, and on the other hand, he wanted to use her identity to cover up his next move.

"Ms. Wenjuan, you're joking. You're the daughter of Prince Yixun, how could you be a Communist?" Lu Yang pretended to be surprised. "The reason I trust you is because I can see that you're a kind-hearted girl. You definitely wouldn't sit by and watch those Communists wreak havoc in Harbin!"

Lu Yang's words were half true and half false. He complimented Li Wenjuan and stated his own position at the same time. It was absolutely flawless.

Li Wenjuan felt a little embarrassed by his words. She lowered her head and was silent for a moment before she whispered, "You're right. I really hate the Communist Party. They killed my relatives and destroyed my home. I must bring them to justice with my own hands!"

There was a barely perceptible gleam in Lu Yang's eyes. It seemed that Li Wenjuan had been brainwashed by the Japanese devils.

"Ms. Wenjuan, don't worry, I will definitely catch all those Communists in one fell swoop and avenge your relatives!" Lu Yang vowed.

"That's good." Li Wenjuan nodded, a fierce look flashing in her eyes. "Li Wenhan, you did a great job this time. I will ask my father for credit for you!"

Lu Yang was secretly happy. It seemed that his plan was successful!

He deliberately approached Li Wenjuan in order to gain her trust, and then use her identity to help the Anti-Japanese United Army with its treatment.

Now it seems that everything is going according to his plan...

In late autumn, Harbin is getting chilly. The leaves of the trees lining the streets have begun to turn yellow, swaying in the chilly autumn wind, as if announcing the change of seasons.

Under the cover of night, a carriage pulled into a quiet alley in the north of the city. Zhou Qing tightened his cotton jacket. Although it wasn't yet freezing cold in Harbin's late autumn, it was still chilling enough to make one feel the bone.

He jumped off the carriage and carefully identified the house number in the dim moonlight. After confirming that it was correct, he gently knocked on the gate.

"Dong dong dong..."

The knock on the door was particularly clear in the silent night, and Zhou Qing's heart beat with the sound of the knock on the door.

The waiting time was not long. The courtyard door creaked open and Lu Yang's familiar face appeared in front of him.

"Brother Zhou, you're here." Lu Yang said in a low voice, stepping aside to let Zhou Qing and the carriage enter the yard.

"Brother Lu, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Qing patted Lu Yang's shoulder. The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

This safe house was specially prepared by Lu Yang in order to deal with emergencies. It is in a hidden location and rarely visited by people. It is the perfect place to hide the wounded soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

Zhou Qing jumped off the carriage and called out to his comrades behind him to carry down the two unconscious wounded soldiers.

"How are they? Are they seriously injured?" Lu Yang asked anxiously while helping.
