Chapter 391
“This is your medicine.” Zhu Yuyan carefully placed the box on the table and opened it.
A row of exquisite medicine bottles were neatly arranged on a black velvet cloth, all tied with ribbons.
Included with the box is a small steel knife, about the size of a fingernail, the blade has a notch, which is used to open the cap of the bottle.
There was a steel stamp on the cap of the vial from the American pharmaceutical company, and when the outer tin cap was opened, there was a rubber stopper for sealing, and then there was the powder, which was as fine as dust, but with a faint blue light.
The look on Yamamoto’s face could not be described as joyful, but rather had nothing to do with “happy”.
He wrinkled his eyebrows and said with a fierce look, “I am very surprised, very surprised.” He looked at Zhu Yuyan and said, “Yan Ji’s means and connections are indeed extraordinary.”
Zhu Yuyan knew that today was not a good day, this medicine came too fast, honestly, if they couldn’t find it, maybe Yamamoto would be happier – how could the medicine that could save his life be in someone else’s hands?
Zhu Yuyan’s face is calm, even with Yamamoto’s expression is different, also a little less happy suspicion.
She said, “You are too flattering. I should have happily accepted your compliments, but I am really ashamed to receive them. This medicine …… was obtained by accident. A small-time crook, who tried to trick me with his deception, probably thought the medicine was fake.”
Yamamoto immediately asked, “Where is the person?”
Zhu Yuyan: “Dead.”
Yamamoto raised an eyebrow, “So it’s not death without proof?”
Zhu Yuyan nodded: “Yes, but that would have been an outcast, the other party should not have let him know too much, how much gold bars he earned from me, are his life money. So I thought about it, I think we should get into their trap, so that we can see what they want to do next. If they want to get to know you through me, then this medicine will not be given only once. If they want to harm you through me, the medicine won’t be delivered only once, and they’ll always come back for more.” She lifted her chin and gestured to the medicine chest, “Because I proved that I can actually deliver the medicine to you, there’s no worry that they won’t come back for more.”
Yamamoto’s eyes widened, and after a long while, he laughed hoarsely, and the stiffness of a moment ago was swept away, becoming gentle once more.
Yamamoto: “Yan Ji, you are truly a woman of honor. But it’s China and Japan, I’ve never seen a braver woman than you!”
He also looked towards that medicine box, and with his own hands, slowly, pulled the medicine box to him.
Zhu Yuyan continued, “I changed the case, and also gave all the medicine bottles a fresh wipe with a clean cloth. But I don’t know much about this medicine, I only know that it will glow in the dark, these medicines do glow, as for the authenticity, I don’t know, I’m afraid I need you to check it yourself to find out.”
Yamamoto waved his hand, “There is no need to check again, there is indeed no mistake that it is my medicine.”
He looked up and asked, “What about the other medicine?”
Yamamoto knows very well that although the efficacy of this drug is amazing, but when it works is unknown, the other insulin is what he can’t live without every day.
Zhu Yuyan: “I met with the German drug dealer and he promised to find it, but it will take at least three months.”
This length of time was normal and Yamamoto could accept it.
He nodded, “I am very grateful for your help, Yan Ji, you and your husband saved my life. You are my most precious friends, and when my compatriots started to turn their backs on me, only you two Chinese stood by my side.”
He was even so moved that his eyes became moist.
Zhu Yuyan, whose acting skills had soared in recent years, immediately also had slightly reddened eyes and was moved to say, “Mr. Yamamoto, it’s a great honor for us as a couple to be able to gain your friendship! My husband and I will serve you with all our efforts!”
The two of them are acting against each other, both know that the other may not believe, but this process can not be saved, should be acting, this is the lubricant in the contradictory relationship, the lack of it will not be right.
Of course, the acting is not flavorful.
Both are a good hand, are good at giving others to pouring soup, and now the chess match, they are appropriate, red eyes, show a show of loyalty to stop.
Yamamoto receives the medicine and gently asks Zhu Yuyan to visit Guizi.
Yamamoto: “You are good friends, and Guizi has been looking forward to your arrival.”
Zhu Yuyan complies and follows the maid to the garden where Ms. Jin lives, and when she arrives she notices something is wrong. There were at least six maids of honor standing under the porch.
When she entered the house, she understood because Miss Jin was tied up.
Zhu Yuyan immediately went forward to check on Miss Jin who appeared to have fainted.
She brushed aside her hair and saw her eyes.
She was not crazy and her eyes were still awake.
Zhu Yu Yan was relieved.
Turning her head to the maid, she said, ”Is your son sick? Or is she in a bad mood? I can introduce excellent doctors to treat your son. Please let go of her first.”
As she said that, she took it upon herself to undo the cloth on Miss Jin’s wrist.
Of course the maid was about to come over to stop her, and Zhu Yuyan immediately cursed, “That’s so rude! How can you come and pull me! I’m going to protest to Mr. Yamamoto!”
The maid was startled and hurriedly backed away, but really didn’t dare to leave. The maid outside the door was also probing.
Zhu Yuyan’s hands were quick and had already untied one side of the cloth, but there were too many ways the cloth was tied, and she untied Miss Jin layer by layer.
Miss Jin couldn’t wait at all, desperately moving her hands, giving her a look to let her go to the other side, she clenched her mouth tightly, but she didn’t dare to shout and speak.
Zhu Yuyan went to untie the other side, taking the opportunity to block the maid’s gaze, wordlessly asked Miss Jin: “What’s going on?”
Miss Jin’s tears flowed, but she couldn’t say anything.
Seeing that Zhu Yuyan was about to untie both hands, the maid couldn’t help but shout, “You can’t untie it! She’ll kill herself if you untie it! She is pregnant! Mr. Zhu wanted her to give birth, but she refused!”
Zhu Yuyan froze, when the second hand was also untied.
Ms. Jin began to struggle frantically.
Zhu Yuyan realized that Miss Jin’s two legs under the quilt were tied together and she couldn’t run at all.
She struggled like a tied fish and also started to shout loudly, “Let me die! I’m going to die! I want to die!”
All the maids rushed in, Zhu Yuyan cursed while trying to help Miss Jin, but it was obvious that she couldn’t do much to help amongst a bunch of women, Miss Jin was being held down, and these women were holding her down as ferociously as they could.
Zhu Yuyan was pushed to the outside, raising her hard leather handbag and hitting the maids’ heads with the corners of the bag, throwing the bag to call out their faces, cursing at the same time: “Too bold! You are too rude! I’ve never seen anything like it! Get out of here! All of you!”
While these women are dealing with Ms. Jin, Zhu Yuyan uses her purse to give them a hard time, while the maids dare to make a move on Ms. Jin, they don’t dare to make a move on her, they can only futilely raise their arms to ward off, or push her out of the way.
Zhu Yuyan: “Get lost, all of you! Mr. Yamamoto sent me to visit your son and told me to come and talk to her, all of you get out!!!”
The maids were bruised and swollen from her beatings, each with resentment in their eyes, but they still didn’t dare to resist.
They in the end tied Guizi up again before exiting.
Zhu Yuyan returned to the couch, gathered Guizi’s hair up and asked her, “Can you tell me what’s going on?”
Miss Jin was also pinched several times by the maids just now, she could only be at the mercy of the maids during this period of time, she was unable to resist at all, her screams and cries could not even be transmitted out of this courtyard, and she had almost despaired.
It was only now that she saw Zhu Yuyan that she seemed to be alive again.
There is still someone there, there is still someone who remembers her.
Zhu Yu Yan saw that there was water in the teapot next to her and fed her a little water.
Ms. Jin drank the water and said, “I’m pregnant.”
Zhu Yuyan: “Whose baby is it?”
Miss Jin shook her head, “I don’t know.”
She had been ordered to serve too many people, originally she wouldn’t have gotten pregnant under these circumstances, her body was so bad that she hadn’t even had her period for a long time, she thought she had lost the ability to get pregnant a long time ago. It turned out that the pregnancy was detected during a routine medical check-up.
The reason for her regular checkups is to make sure she’s healthy and free of STDs that could harm those “great imperial warriors”.
Oh.
When she found out she was pregnant, she thought Yamamoto would make her abort the baby. Because her value is “Mr. Yamamoto’s adopted daughter”, “precious noble girl”, so that she will be rewarded to the “great imperial soldiers”, those Japanese soldiers will feel proud and honored. The Japanese soldiers would feel proud and honored, and would work harder for Yamamoto.
What Yamamoto didn’t expect was that after hearing the doctor’s report, he came to see her in person and told her to give birth to the child, saying that he wanted the child to be his adopted son.
If it’s a son, then it will be Yamamoto’s adopted son, and will be a “loyal imperial soldier” in the future. If it’s a daughter, then it will be Yamamoto’s adopted daughter, and will be the same as her, and will become the most precious prize in Yamamoto’s hands.
How could Jin Juli accept it? It was unfortunate enough that this fate had appeared to her, and now even the child she gave birth to could not be spared?
Almost immediately, she decides to seek death.
But that night, she deliberately tried to suffocate herself in the water basin but was discovered by the maid guarding the door for making noise, and then she was tied up like this.
She grabbed Zhu Yuyan’s sleeve and said to her with a pair of horrible eyes, “I can’t give birth! Help me!”
Zhu Yuyan looked at her blankly, not knowing how to answer for the first time.
Of course she was willing to help her, but how.
This was not a period of advanced medicine, where one could go to the hospital and make an appointment for an abortion, or take pills for an abortion.
In this situation right now, first of all, it was impossible for her to smuggle Miss Jin out of the country, and secondly, she didn’t have any medicine in her hands that could help her have an abortion without much after-effects, and the legendary ones where a charm could be drank and an abortion could be immediate were almost always at the cost of a woman’s life.
Now, at this moment, being able to help her miscarry was tantamount to helping her commit suicide.
She could leave her with a knife, a gun, a mouthful of poison, anything that could take a life and fulfill her hopes while killing her.
And …… Julie Kim thought exactly that.
She wanted not just a miscarriage, but the hope of getting out of it all.
Zhu Yuyan thought about stealing Jin Juli out, but at that time she thought there was still time to wait for the right moment, now there was no more time.
Jin Juli couldn’t wait any longer and neither could her stomach.
Zhu Yuyan held her hand and said wordlessly: wait for me.
Wait for me and take you to run out.
Wait a little longer.
Jin Juli looked into her eyes, her eyes were gentle and beautiful, as if she was still the same Miss Jin sitting in the hotel.
She slowly let go of her hand and revealed a gentle and desperate smile.
Good.
She also said wordlessly.
