A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

Unexpectedly, two days later, Battalion Commander Xu received news that he had rushed to the county committee compound to find Cheng Ying.

At this moment, Cheng Ying was discussing with Yu Jianshe that they planned to make another trip to the Dayue Mountains. "Captain Yu, I'm thinking of making another trip to the Dayue Mountains. The problem now is that we don't know how many people in the county town are colluding with the bandits."

Yu Jianshe, however, had a different opinion: "Cheng Ying, it's because we don't know if things will get chaotic in the county town, so you can't go there yet!"

If there's no news from here in a day or two, then I'll go with you.

Cheng Ying was actually a little anxious. "With your help and Captain Xu's assistance in the county town, we should be able to resolve this. I have my own special abilities, so I'll first go to the bandit's den in the Dayue Mountains to check out the situation. That way, I'll have a better understanding of the situation."

Just as Yu Jianshe was about to argue with Cheng Ying, he suddenly heard Captain Xu rushing in from outside, "Captain Cheng, Captain Yu, are you there?"

Yu Jianshe had no choice but to stop talking and open the door. "Captain Xu, is there something we need here?"

When Captain Xu saw that it was Yu Jianshe, he said to him, "Captain Yu, the companies we've been keeping an eye on have made a move!"

Yu Jianshe raised an eyebrow, thinking that finally there was some movement. He should resolve things here as soon as possible so that he could attack the bandits in Dayue Mountain and at least have no worries about the rear.

When Yu Jianshe and Battalion Commander Xu entered the room and saw Cheng Ying there, they said happily, "There are five major families in the county, and four of them are on the list."

"At first, I was worried that the remaining family might also be connected to the bandits, so I kept all five families under surveillance."

Cheng Ying asked with interest, "How many places are making noise?"

Battalion Commander Xu: "These five families are the Qian family, the Zhou family, the Li family, the Qin family, and the Luo family!"

Last night, the Zhou, Li, Qin, and Qian families were the ones who made a move—these four families were on the list. The only one that remained silent was the Luo family; it's unclear whether they were hiding their activities well or truly had no connection to the bandits.

Captain Xu took a breath and then continued, "The four families we were keeping an eye on last night, around 10 p.m., the heads of each family gathered at the Qian family with their people!"

They seemed to have something to discuss, but since they couldn't enter the Qian family's residence, they couldn't hear what they were talking about.

But one thing is certain: the day after their gathering, each of the four families sent people out of the city to the Dayue Mountains. Those who had been following them returned with news that they had gone to the bandits' den.

After pondering for a moment, Cheng Ying said, "It seems that these four families must be colluding with the bandits. However, the Luo family is strange; they are completely silent at this time."

Yu Jianshe nodded in agreement, "In any case, we have to take action now. Now that we know they are colluding with bandits, we can no longer let it go unchecked."

Captain Xu scratched his head. "But we don't have any conclusive evidence that they've betrayed the country and colluded with bandits. If we act rashly, it might be difficult to explain to our superiors."

Yu Jianshe frowned. "That's true, but we can't just sit idly by."

It would be better to send someone to secretly investigate the specifics of the dealings between these four families and the bandits, and find concrete evidence before making any further moves.

As for the Luo family, vigilance cannot be relaxed; continued surveillance is necessary.

Cheng Ying stood up, her eyes resolute. "I agree with Captain Yu's idea."

Furthermore, I'd like to visit the Luo family to investigate; perhaps I can uncover some useful clues.

Yu Jianshe was somewhat worried, "Isn't this too dangerous for Cheng Ying? After all, the other four families have already given themselves away. What if the Luo family is also an enemy? You're going alone..."

Cheng Ying smiled and said, "Don't worry, Captain Yu, I'll be careful."

Better to be lucky than early, so Cheng Ying strolled over to the Luo family's house after dinner!

Cheng Ying hadn't been idle these past two days either. She had inquired about the addresses of all the prominent families, and soon arrived near the Luo family's residence.

She first walked around the entire Luo family mansion and found that the Luo family was indeed the richest family in the whole county. Although there were many grand mansions in this area, the Luo family's was the most magnificent.

Cheng Ying waited at the door for a while longer, and then the main gate of the Luo family's house was closed and locked. Judging from this, Cheng Ying realized that the Luo family was planning to close up and rest.

Cheng Ying used her invisibility to pass through the wall and enter the Luo family's residence. At this time, lanterns were lit in all the courtyards of the Luo family. After observing for a while, Cheng Ying found the house that should be the residence of the head of the family and walked towards the Luo family's study!

However, Cheng Ying went to the wrong place. This was not the Luo family's study; this should have been a reception room, where people were talking at that moment.

The seat at the head of the table was occupied by an elderly man, who was likely Luo Zesen, the father of the Luo family patriarch. To his left was an elderly woman, presumably the mother of the Luo family patriarch.

Luo Zesen turned to his son, Luo Rongjie, who was sitting to the left of him and was the current head of the Luo family, and said, "Rongjie, have those four families been causing trouble again lately?"
