Chapter 424

Zhu Yuyan was writing a letter, a letter of advice. But not to a specific person, but to the families and their children still in the city.

The atmosphere in the society is getting more and more dangerous, and the Japanese force all the primary and secondary school students to go to school, the Japanese teachers will visit every house and “persuade” the children of every family to go to school, of course, the boarding school, the children may only be released once a year to go back to their homes, and she has even heard that some of the Japanese schools are not in the city at all, but in the countryside.

I don’t know when the Japanese built schools in the countryside, and even if I ask Su Chunjun, he can’t tell me if anyone has ever reported similar information.

After all, there are so many important information, each one is more important than the Japanese building houses in the countryside.

This letter of exhortation is nominally an exhortation – otherwise the newspaper would not have published it. But in fact she hoped that the people would try to stop the internal conflict, run away if they could, and try to stay together as a family if they couldn’t run away, so as not to leave any regrets.

Most of the people in the city who still had to stay instead of fleeing were poor people, and there were also those who could not flee in time and were displaced, no matter where they used to live and whether they had husbands, children and families, they were now semi-forced to stay in the city.

She couldn’t force everyone to leave, and she didn’t know what it would be like to flee outside. Compared to that, at least being here where she could be with her family wasn’t too bad.

Other than that, it seemed that the rest of the world outside of the city wasn’t exactly peaceful, with people fleeing into the city every day.

The city had always been huge, so people had more confidence in her, thinking that it must be safe here.

Su Chunjun has recently opened a few more relief centers to give food and clothing and medicine.

But it’s not much use, just a drop in the bucket.

The city was becoming more and more chaotic, with forces from all sides intermingling and skirmishes becoming more and more frequent.

The scarcity of intelligence also left them in the dark, not knowing anything, and not daring to plan for anything, but only taking one step at a time.

Guo**’s intelligence officers seemed to have withdrawn from all lines, they all dived deeper and no longer ventured out, and there was no intelligence circulating in the market.

After Zhao Shuli left, they lost their most important source of intelligence.

Zhu Yuyan saw Su Chunjun stop and look at the door for a while when he passed by Zhao Shuli’s former room before he left.

There was nothing she could do to comfort him.

In addition, she began to arrange for Wu Xiaoping to leave.

Leaving by sea was impossible, Wu Xiaoping had no experience of living in a foreign country, and letting her go outside was a dead end.

She planned to have her leave by train to find Zhu Yanshu and the others.

Although there was only one direction, there was nothing else she could think of.

She did not explicitly say that she would let Wu Xiaoping go on her own, but instead, under the pretext of needing her to deliver a letter for her, she planned to send her on the train just like that.

Wu Xiaoping had more or less grown some meat in the meantime, but was still terribly thin.

A single young girl on the road alone was bound to be dangerous.

And she couldn’t find a person she could trust to protect her.

It made her feel derelict in her duty.

She only hoped that she would be able to find Zhu Yanshu and their trail safely and follow them, and even if she couldn’t, she would still be able to survive with the help of the good people.

In order to train Wu Xiaoping, she taught her all the hygiene and medical knowledge she had learned in school, so that if she was in danger she could pretend to be a nurse, and if she encountered the army, it would be good to be sent to a military doctor.

She also found out Fu Peixian’s letter and wrote a letter to Fu Peixian. Although it may not be possible for Wu Xiaoping to meet, but if she did, it would be a blessing, and she hoped that Fu Peixian still remembered her and could take care of Wu Xiaoping a few more times.

Everything was ready, she was ready to send her away in the next few days.

After writing the persuasive letter, she read it again, changed a few inappropriate words and phrases, and then gave it to the correspondent to send to the newspaper for publication.

At half past nine, the operator informed her that there was a call from the Japanese Concession.

Operator: “Ms. Zhu, that person identified herself as Guizi, a young lady.”

Zhu Yuyan: “I see, put it through.”

Operator: “Ms. Zhu, duty calls, I need to record this call.”

Zhu Yuyan: “Yes.”

Operator: “Ms. Zhu, take over.”

After a pause, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out over the sound of the current.

“Hello, Yanji, it’s your son.” The voice trembled, “I miss you terribly, can you come visit me? Come today.”

This call was suspicious to the extreme.

So suspicious that Su Chunjun came over in less than thirty seconds.

Obviously the person who had just listened in on this call was him.

Su Chunjun wrote on a piece of paper, “Reject her, it’s a trap.”

Zhu Yuyan did not say anything into the microphone as she exchanged glances with Su Chunjun.

Suzuki Saburo ran away, and Suzuki’s house was burned to the ground.

Zhao Shuli was stabbed to death, and the assassin was most likely Japanese.

Su Chunjun and her spread a lot of unfavorable information about Japan outside.

The false facade of moderation between her and Yamamoto, and the Japanese no longer exists.

This call was definitely not well-intentioned.

But it was Juri Kim who made the call, the only innocent person and the one she was trying to save in the first place.

If it wasn’t for that information about the orchid that caused all of this, she might have been in her plan to be asked out by Yoshiko Suzuki for a date at Suzuki’s house, and she would have been able to take advantage of the opportunity to save someone.

Up to now, is she no longer able to be saving her.

To give up on her.

The voice on the other side of the receiver was still trembling, Jinjuri’s voice was tiny, she was so upset and scared that she was talking non-stop, in pretending that everything was okay.

In the end, she even started to recite English poems.

She was going crazy, wasn’t she? She was about to be driven to collapse.

Zhu Yuyan looked at Su Chunjun, who grabbed a pen from the table and scribbled “orchid” on a piece of paper, then circled it.

When she finished writing, she didn’t wait for him to say anything else, and said to the other end of the phone: “Yes, I was just about to go and play with you. How’s your health? Sick yet?”

There was an eerie silence on the other side of the receiver, like she hadn’t even expected her to say yes.

It was a long, long time before a voice came from the other side, shrill and shaky English, “I’m okay, not too bad. I …… will wait for you, friend.”

Zhu Yuyan hung up the phone and snatched at Su Chunjun, “This is an opportunity.”

Su Chunjun can understand her choice, even he in this position of her, may be difficult to stand by. They had gotten used to rescuing, and if someone reached out to them for help, they could not ignore it.

But he couldn’t take his anger away!

He was very angry! And yet there was nothing to be done.

“What chance?” He huffed.

Zhu Yuyan: “I can use the orchid.”

Su Chunjun: “The orchid could be the very disinformation the Japanese created!”

–Unless, of course, you are the real Orchid.

Zhu Yuyan affirms, “I am not an orchid. But I could be an orchid.”

Su Chunjun: “What do you mean? Do you think you can disguise yourself as a chi*? You know, the Japanese will be even more cruel to Akira*.”

Zhu Yuyan: “Right now, we are in their sights. Jinjuri is just the beginning, we have to take the initiative from the start.”

Without Jin Julie, there would be the next bait to lure them in.

In that case, it was more convenient to pick Jin Juli because she knew Jin Juli better.

Zhu Yuyan: “I can borrow Jin Juli’s mouth, reveal some information, pretend that I am an important person, like orchids, in a high position, know a lot of information, the Japanese if they want to put a long line to catch a big fish, they will not be in this time to directly kill me or catch me to torture, we will be successful, and then fight for a period of time, and may even turn a disadvantage into an advantage. Failure if ……” she gritted her teeth, “Failure is a dead chant. But I don’t think they’ll just want to take me out, they’ll definitely want to take you out too. If I go to find Jin Juli, and then they try to get you right after that, then we’re both in danger for sure. But as long as they don’t make a move on you for the time being, then there’s a huge possibility that they’ll release me back, and our plan will succeed.”

Su Chunjun: “This is too risky!”

Zhu Yuyan: “There are dangers every day. But I think that Yamamoto’s idea of using me to manipulate you was when he asked Jin Juli to come to me.”

Su Chunjun: “Have you ever thought about what will happen to you?”

Zhu Yuyan took a deep breath and said, “Honestly, I have thought about it. Poison* or force* I guess, both of these are the most powerful torment to one’s will and spirit, the latter is especially true for women.”

Su Chunjun: “That’s why I can’t let you take the risk!”

Zhu Yuyan: “I want to gamble. Bet that this time I go, Yamamoto won’t figure it out. The first time, it might be a test run. Only after they realize that there’s no progress will they possibly go up to the tactics. And I just need to appear more willing to cooperate, for example, I will be willing to betray you, or you will be willing to betray *, then ……”

Su Chunjun interrupted her, “How about this, then you can just tell Yamamoto that I intend to betray the country** and am willing to become a Japanese.”

Zhu Yuyan was stunned and reacted, “Now? That is, will it work?”

Su Chunjun: “Yes, just say that to Yamamoto. I am willing to become a Japanese, change my surname, and recognize Yamamoto as my father.”

Zhu Yuyan: “But you don’t have to sacrifice yourself so much.”

Su Chunjun: “It’s fine, my father won’t mind.”

Zhu Yuyan: “…… His old man is also fortunate to have you as his son.”
