Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 412: Miss Wu - Moving Back to the Old Community

Zhang Shouyi racked his brains to figure out the true identities of his fourth brother and sister-in-law. Besides being blood relatives, did they save him because they shared the same beliefs?

Yang Yunqi had set up a tight net but someone escaped. After he was angry, he took swift action. He led a team of well-trained men and searched every household along the street, not missing any clues.

The magazine was naturally within the search scope. Intelligence workers disbelieve in coincidences the most. There were anti-Japanese communist elements in the closed original Guili magazine, and problems occurred near the new magazine. This coincidence made people suspicious.

Yang Yunqi personally brought people to the magazine office.

Zhou Leng smiled politely, stood up to greet him and motioned him to sit down. At the same time, other people in the magazine were arranged to different rooms to have individual conversations with relevant personnel. The originally bustling office area became quiet, with only occasional light conversations coming from behind the closed door.

Yang Yunqi got straight to the point:

"Xiao Min, I never believe in coincidences. Logically, I should turn your magazine upside down to see if there are any secrets. But I don't want to do that to you. Tell me, have you joined any democratic parties?"

Zhou Leng did not think that the other party was doing this for the so-called past feelings, but that this occupied city needed stability, and they needed to tell everyone that as long as they did not resist, they could get peace and stability.

"I can answer you with a clear conscience that I have not joined any democratic party. I just want to live a peaceful life. You ask me this. Do you suspect that the gunfight that day had something to do with me?"

"It may not be you, it may be someone around you, otherwise why are there always active anti-Japanese elements around you. Xiao Min, I'm doing all this for your own good. If you want a stable life, you should stay away from those people. Our country no longer has the power to resist. From weapons, logistics supply, to the faith of our people, we will definitely lose! Why must we shed our last blood and kill the last person to face the reality? I'm also saving the country! Defending to the death cannot save the country. Only in this way can we save the country."

Zhou Leng looked at the other party's excited words and expressionless face. She thought that maybe the other party really wanted to save the country. However, she had traveled through many planes, and the blood and tears of countless people told her that no matter which plane this country was in, someone would stand up. They would rather die standing than live on their knees. They didn't know whether they could win in the end. Even if the country was destroyed, the people would die before the country would die. Thinking of this, Zhou Leng acted helpless. She said distressedly:

"What you said is too far away from me. Whether you believe it or not, I really just want to live a stable life. If the country continues to be in chaos, I will go to the United States to seek refuge with my third aunt and stay away from these disputes. Now I also want to know why there are always these people around me who disturb my life. The house where my magazine used to be was privately owned by my third aunt. Look at the place I rent now. The furniture in the house is simple. If you have any doubts, search it. I am not afraid of anything."

Yang Yunqi suddenly laughed, and said in a doting tone, "I was just teasing you. I came here today to tell you that the case is closed and you can move back to your original magazine office. There was another gunfight here recently, and it's very unsafe. I brought a lot of people with me today, so we'll help you move."

Although the tone was extremely gentle, it contained a smile that brooked no refusal.

"The case was closed so quickly. Last time, didn't you say it would take at least half a year?"

"It's your business! I have to pay attention to it."

"Moving today?"

"Why, what are you worried about?"

"Then move it, thank you for your help."

Zhou stood aside calmly, watching expressionlessly as those people turned the entire magazine upside down under the pretext of moving. Faced with such a chaotic scene, she did not stop them. When she was asked to open a drawer or move a pile of files, she did it without hesitation, with elegant and calm movements.

The result was as expected, Yang Yunqi and his team gained nothing!

Zhou Leng still stood there quietly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

The next morning after Zhou Leng moved back to her original magazine office, when the sun shone through the mottled window onto her desk, she keenly noticed something strange. After a careful search, she discovered that someone had secretly installed a monitoring device in the office!

That evening, the night fell quietly, and the moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard like water. The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. At this moment, the courtyard seemed particularly quiet and warm.

The thrilling rescue scene a few days ago seemed to have become a distant memory and no one mentioned it. They all seemed to be enjoying this moment of quiet time.

Zhou Leng swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "We moved back to the original magazine office. There was a monitoring device installed in my office. I don't know why they suspected me. I am obviously just an editor-in-chief, a weak woman without any party or faction."

Zhang Shouhe was already used to his wife's way of speaking, but Zhang Shouyi almost choked himself to death after eating a mouthful of food. However, he knew that his sister-in-law was conveying two messages to him. One was that the other party only saved him because his brother saved him, and they were not in the same boat. The second was that someone had already started to watch him, so he had to be more careful.

"Sister-in-law, a few friends and I have decided to set up a freight company, mainly to help important government officials deal with some of their unused items. I would like to invite you to come and support us when the company opens in a few days."

Zhou Leng looked up at him. He had a flattering smile on his harmless face. His words went through her mind again and again, and she knew what he was planning. In the past, their transportation line was secret, and they were always investigated by various parties and paid for their lives. Now they want to put it in the open, turn the transportation line into an upper-level smuggling line, use the ocean to open the way, and let all parties protect it. This requires a very wide network of people.

"We are just a small family and we might be embarrassed if we go there. Your business is really huge."

Zhang Shouhe lowered his head and ate his meal. He decided not to join in the conversation.

"Don't worry, Sister-in-law, they are all familiar classmates and friends."

"Let's eat. If I have time, I will go with your fourth brother. But today I received a telegram from home saying that your mother is worried about you and has already left the county with father. You should go to the station to pick her up tomorrow."

"what!"

Zhang Shouhe gave him a sympathetic look.
