Chapter 42: Minamizō Keiko is not dead

Liu Huilan quickly said, "No, no, I just got cold from the wind when I came back. I'll just take a hot bath and have a good sleep!"

Zhang Yunhe touched Liu Huilan's forehead and luckily she didn't have a fever, so he said, "Then I'll go get you some hot water. Take a bath first, and then I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup!"

Liu Huilan said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Well, okay, I'll let you serve me today."

……

Changxing Company.

In the manager's office, the lights were still on late at night, the room was filled with smoke, and coughs could be heard from time to time.

Yu Xianghui sat at his desk. It had been more than an hour since he escaped, and he was still frightened.

He took a few more puffs of his cigarette, exhaled a long stream of smoke, and asked the operations chief, Chang Yuchun, who had just returned from outside: "Are all the brothers settled? What are the specific casualties?"

Chang Yuchun replied, "Stationmaster, the brothers who returned have been settled. They have not been allowed to return to their original residences. Those who did not return are probably gone. We don't know how many brothers have fallen into the hands of the Japanese yet, but I have left two brothers who are agile and have strong adaptability to go and get information!"

"There were 36 of us when we left, but only 28 returned. That means eight of us didn't make it back, and we don't know whether we're dead or alive!"

Yu Xianghui lit another cigarette and sighed, "If someone hadn't bombarded the Japanese troops blocking our way tonight, I'm afraid our entire Songhu Station would have been wiped out by the Japanese army tonight. It's really a blessing in disguise! So, send someone to find out who did it. This is a huge favor, we can't refuse it!"

"Okay, I'll secretly send someone to investigate!" Chang Yuchun agreed, then he asked, "Stationmaster, do you think this was done by the people over there in the cave? When we were breaking out, I noticed a group of people following us. I was in such a hurry to leave that I didn't observe carefully!"

"I don't rule out this possibility, but I'm a little confused. It's not that I doubt their ability. How can they get artillery in Songhu?" Yu Xianghui raised his doubts.

Chang Yuchun scratched his messy hair and asked doubtfully, "If they're not from the northwest, then who could they be from? If there's a third party still fighting against the Japanese, there's no way our Blue Shirt Society wouldn't know about it!"

"dong dong dong"

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and Yu Xianghui shouted, "Come in!"

A civilian staff member pushed the door open and walked in to report: "Chief Chang, there's a call coming in looking for you!"

"Then I'll go answer it!" Chang Yuchun said hello to Yu Xianghui and turned to leave.

Five minutes later, he returned to Yu Xianghui's office and said in a rather cheerful tone, "Stationmaster, a buddy of mine who stayed behind to gather information just now called back to report that after we left, someone attacked the Japanese army from behind, and the gunfire was extremely fierce!"

"After the gunfire stopped for more than ten minutes, another small group of Japanese soldiers rushed over and drove the nearby residents out of their homes to track down our identities and whereabouts. However, these Japanese soldiers were all killed by the people hiding in the darkness!"

"There was a squadron of Japanese soldiers dead at the scene, and the bodies of several spies were found in Zhang Yaolin's warehouse. They were all dead, not a single one was left alive, and all the goods in the warehouse were gone!"

"Also, our eight brothers who didn't return are all dead!"

Yu Xianghui gasped after hearing this: "Hiss—are they all fucking dead? And the goods are all gone too?"

"There wasn't a single living person at the scene. I don't know if they were all dead!"

Yu Xianghui was silent for a long time before sighing, "The failure of this operation is entirely my fault. We are an intelligence agency, not a violent organization. Stealing medicine and supplies is not what we should do!"

"And I thought my plan was flawless, but I didn't expect the Special High Technology Department to see through it easily and set a trap for us!"

"I will apologize to the higher-ups for the failure of this operation. We can no longer act so recklessly against the Special High Technology Department. The loss was too great. Eight brothers were killed!"

Chang Yuchun consoled him, "Stationmaster, this isn't entirely your fault. If it weren't for the order from above, our station wouldn't have taken such a huge risk to snatch this batch of medicines and supplies!"

……

Early in the morning, the streets were crowded with people and cars, and all kinds of hawking sounds could be heard one after another.

Xiong Danian's noodle shop is very busy. The prices here are relatively affordable, and the dining environment is very good and the space is spacious. Many nearby citizens come here to eat noodles.

"Extra, Extra, 20,000 Japanese troops attacked Lin'an. The battle was brutal, and the Japanese suffered unprecedented resistance and casualties!"

"Extra, Extra, the battle of Lin'an has begun, with over 5,000 casualties on both sides in one day and one night!"

The newsboy's cries came into the noodle shop from outside.

When Xiong Danian heard the voice, he looked up at the customers who were eating noodles, walked from the counter to the door and shouted, "Give me a newspaper!"

The little newspaper boy immediately ran over, handed over a newspaper, took twenty cents, and turned around and ran back to the street to continue selling.

Xiong Danian took the newspaper back to the counter and hurriedly read the contents of today's newspaper. He had already learned from other channels that the Japanese army was going to attack Lin'an, but he didn't expect that the news was so accurate!

The noodle shop was busy until around 2 p.m. when business finally slowed down.

Xiong Danian was counting his money on an abacus behind the counter when Lao Lin came in, took off his hat, and called out, "Boss, do you have any more noodles?"

"Yes, yes, yes. But sir, you see, our lobby is being cleaned. How about you eat in the back? There are tables there too!"

"Okay, then I'll go eat in the back!" Lao Lin agreed and walked towards the backyard.

After a while, Lao Cui also came and was also led to the backyard by the waiter arranged by Xiong Danian.

In a room in the backyard, Xiong Danian asked the two, "Did everyone get home safely last night?"

"Don't worry, Secretary Xiong, all the comrades have returned home safely! To be honest, it was too dangerous last night. If someone hadn't blasted open the alley entrance in time, we would all be dead. I'm still scared when I think about it now!" Lao Cui said with emotion.

"I don't know who these people are. Could it be a backup plan left by the Blue Shirts Society?" asked Lao Lin.

Xiong Danian shook his head: "I don't think it's likely them! What I didn't expect is that they were also planning to take those medicines and supplies!"

"Our top priority right now is to get some medicine to help us out. You've all read this morning's newspaper, but I don't think Lin'an will hold out for much longer. Our troops will undoubtedly be attacked by the Japanese soon, and there will inevitably be casualties, which will increase our need for medicine even more!"

Lao Lin thought for a moment and said, "Can we just buy it from foreigners?"

Lao Cui immediately objected: "I disagree. It's too risky to contact foreigners. Even if we can buy medicine from them, the news will probably leak out. By then, even if we get the medicine, it will definitely attract the Japanese. I think we should find another way!"

Xiong Danian thought for a moment, then looked at Lao Lin and asked, "The news that Zhang Yaolin got a batch of sulfanilamide was spread by Bai Ge, right? Can Bai Ge think of a solution?"

Lao Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Let me give it a try. If I let Bai Ge come forward, her identity might be..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's arranged properly, it won't arouse suspicion!"

……

Riverside.

Keiko Minamizō, who was soaked all over, woke up slowly. She opened her eyes and rolled her eyeballs a few times before she found herself lying on the beach by the river.

She turned over and tried to get up when she felt a sharp pain in her shoulders, chest, abdomen and arms. Looking down, she saw several shrapnel embedded in her chest, abdomen and left arm, and the wounds had turned white from being soaked in the river water.

She gritted her teeth, got up, and staggered ashore. She stumbled all the way to the street, stopped a rickshaw, and threatened the driver with a pistol to take her to the Special High Technology Department.

Inside the Special High Technology Department, Akao Hirokazu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Chief Akao, Miss Keiko is back!" A spy rushed into the office and reported loudly.

"What? Where?"
