Li Changfeng had no idea that he was about to be promoted again.

At that moment, he had just finished drinking with Lin Dajiang, the head of Operation 76, and others.

Then they went into a tailor shop by the roadside.

The tailor shop was a liaison point for the Military Intelligence Bureau. After arriving at the Huamao Hotel, Li Changfeng delivered a message to Viper.

Two hours have passed since he asked someone to bring the little girl here.

Seeing the little girl shivering as she ate an apple, Li Changfeng smiled slightly.

He placed the takeout box on the table.

"Little girl, are you hungry?"

"Uncle brought you something delicious."

"This is a reward for you; you were great today!"

Li Changfeng squatted down and stroked the little girl's nose with his finger as he spoke.

Once upon a time, I also had a little niece who often came to my house to play.

However, after his unexpected death and transmigration, he never saw her again.

"Thank you... Uncle!"

“Aunt Xu often pinches my nose like this too.”

The little girl looked at Li Changfeng timidly, feeling a sense of familiarity from him.

She then smiled slightly and walked directly to Li Changfeng's side.

Li Changfeng opened the food box and waved to the two tailor shop assistants.

"You all go outside and keep watch. I want to say a few words to the girl."

Li Changfeng looked at the two of them and said very seriously.

He knew he was in danger, even though he had already put on some disguise.

But if this young girl and these intelligence agents in front of her were exposed, they would be suspected by the Japanese.

However, he was, after all, a patriotic young man, not an executioner wielding the Death Note.

Once I've arranged for these people to leave and sent the little girl and her family away, I'll be safe for now.

"Uncle, please ask whatever you want to know."

“Niu Niu wouldn’t talk nonsense…”

"Mother Xu once said that all the Japanese devils were bad people."

"Anyone who fights the Japanese is a hero."

"So Niu Niu helped you today..."

The little girl, Niu Niu, looked at Li Changfeng and stared at him with her bright eyes.

Hearing this, Li Changfeng was deeply moved.

The little girl in front of me is only eight or nine years old, which would be considered school age in later generations.

While other children live under the care of their parents, she has to go out and make a living.

Life must have been very difficult in this vast city of Shanghai.

Seeing her constantly staring at the food box in Li Changfeng's hand and swallowing her saliva, Li Changfeng knew that she must have been hungry for a long time.

"Eat, and we can talk while we eat."

Li Changfeng opened the food box, patted Niu Niu's little head, and said gently.

"Ah."

Niu Niu nodded without being coy and picked up a steamed bun to eat.

Li Changfeng picked up his chopsticks and fed her vegetables, which Niu Niu ate with great relish.

A few minutes later, Niu Niu had eaten two steamed buns and finished off all the side dishes.

Li Changfeng took out a handkerchief and wiped the grease from her mouth.

"Niu Niu, what's your full name?"

"Uncle, I don't have a formal name, so I'll just call myself Niu Niu."

"Then who is this Xu Mama you just mentioned?"

"Uncle, Aunt Xu is my closest relative. She has adopted many children."

"........."

The two exchanged questions and answers, and Li Changfeng fell silent.

It turns out that the girl in front of me is an orphan.

"Where are your parents?"

Li Changfeng asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Niu Niu's eyes immediately reddened.

“When Niu Niu was very young, her parents gave her away to others in order to get something to eat.”

"They traded Niu Niu for half a bushel of rice, and Niu Niu doesn't blame them..."

"But I'll never see my older brother and sister again, sob sob sob..."

As Niu Niu spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Would someone sell their own flesh and blood to someone else for half a peck of rice?

This world is truly indescribable.

Li Changfeng couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart.

In this era of war, people die every day.

Many places suffered from famine for years, and a considerable number of people died of starvation and disease.

"Then how did you get here?"

While wiping away Niu Niu's tears, Li Changfeng continued to ask questions.

"Thanks to Mama Xu."

"After Niu Niu was given away, the bad people beat and scolded her, and didn't even feed her."

"It was Xu's mother who took pity on Niu Niu and bought her back."

“But Niu Niu knows that Xu’s mother has no money and her family doesn’t acknowledge her.”

Niu Niu wiped away her tears and threw herself into Li Changfeng's arms.

Based on Niu Niu's words, he could already imagine that Xu Mama, whom Niu Niu mentioned, must be a good person.

"Come on, Uncle will take you to find Aunt Xu."

As Li Changfeng spoke, he picked Niu Niu up and carried her directly.

He draped a coat over Niu Niu's shoulders and then walked outside.

........

An hour later, Li Changfeng brought Niu Niu to a shantytown.

After making inquiries, a group of people were found in an old house that was about to collapse near the City God Temple in the shantytown.

The leader was a woman, not yet thirty years old, who looked very haggard.

"Sir, thank you for bringing Niu Niu back."

"I took her to the station to sell flowers this afternoon, but she got lost."

"Thank you so much..."

When the woman saw Li Changfeng return with Niu Niu, she greeted him warmly.

The children around him timidly took a few steps back, staring at Li Changfeng with cautious expressions.

The oldest child here is eighteen or nineteen years old, and the youngest is only five or six.

Li Changfeng glanced at everyone and then put Niu Niu down.

Li Changfeng removed the scarf covering his face and smiled slightly.

Immediately, a foul stench wafted from the house.

"Forehead..........."

Li Changfeng immediately suppressed his discomfort and squatted down on the ground.

Seeing Li Changfeng's expression, the woman smiled slightly, as if she understood something.

"Sir, let's talk outside."

"Several children have recently had stomach problems because the food doesn't taste very good."

The woman looked at Li Changfeng and pointed to a thatched house outside.

Li Changfeng nodded and then followed the woman out.

“Ms. Xu, this child helped me today.”

"But it also caused trouble."

"The agents from No. 76 have seen her. I hope you will move."

I saw the middle-aged woman rubbing the hem of her clothes, about to say something.

Li Changfeng spoke first.

This woman probably wanted to thank him for bringing Niu Niu back.

However, Li Changfeng felt somewhat apologetic.

If it weren't for Niu Niu in the afternoon, he might have been able to watch Shen Mo die.

Even the sacrifices of Li Ningyu and the others might have been meaningless.

"Sir, you want us to move?"

"But... I have so many children with me."

"Where can we go...?"

Upon hearing Li Changfeng's words, the woman looked troubled and immediately became anxious.

She could tell that Li Changfeng was no ordinary person, as he was carrying a gun.

If she disagreed, she had no doubt that the person in front of her would kill her and Niu Niu to silence them.
