Chapter 928 Zhen Xiaorui was arrested
Chapter 928 Zhen Xiaorui was arrested
Early morning, Yueyang South.
The camp was already bustling before daybreak.
It rained last night and the tent was filled with a musty smell. Li Eryazi didn't know whether he was woken up by the noise or the smell of the rain. When he opened his eyes, he still missed the comfortable life at home three months ago.
He is from Star City and has only been in the army for three months.
He was not conscripted into the army. Two years ago, his eldest brother died on the battlefield. Two years later, Li Erya grew up and his parents sent him to the Ninth War Zone.
He still remembered that his father shed tears before leaving, glaring at him and yelling, "Protecting our country is a big deal. You must train hard and move forward bravely. You must be able to hold up the sky!"
Before I could continue reminiscing, the company commander yelled from outside, "Get up! Don't dawdle, pack your things!"
Li Erya got up and put on his straw sandals. The sandals were wet and sticky and uncomfortable.
Breakfast consisted of thin porridge so thin you could see your reflection in it, and each person was given a finger-long dried radish.
Li Erya took a sip of porridge, took a bite of dried radish, and then screamed - the dried radish was as hard as stone and it hurt his teeth.
"How can you eat this? Are you going to fight the Japanese with this?"
The veteran Zhang Mazi beside him ate with gusto, his rotten teeth showing when he smiled. "Boy, go hungry for three days and you'll know that this dried radish tastes better than bacon."
The second boy said nothing, muttering in his heart, how can dried radish compare to bacon? Do you think I have never eaten bacon?
After breakfast, the troops set out and evacuated to the southeast.
Eryazi was puzzled, "Japan is in the north, why are we heading south?"
"I heard there are going to be planes bombing us, so let's hide first."
"Fuck them! Are they trying to tease us? Are the higher-ups' intelligence that powerful? Before, the planes were the ones chasing us away, but this time, they have the sky's eye and know they're coming to bomb us!"
The company commander yelled, "What nonsense! If anyone yells again, I'll hit him with the sole of my shoe! Save your strength for the fight against the Japanese!"
By noon, the troops retreated into the mountains.
Then we had lunch, which was slightly thicker rice soup, still with dried radish.
After lunch, the Japanese planes actually arrived.
This made some veterans very happy. "Oh, the intelligence from the higher-ups was really powerful this time! If we hadn't gotten out of the way and stayed there to be bombed, who knows how many people would have died!"
................
Chen Mo did not go to find Zhu Wanyao today, but went to find Zhen Xiaorui instead.
He knew that his classmate Zhu Wanyao always liked to make "rebellious remarks", until the Japanese gendarmerie headquarters arrested a large number of people and she began to restrain herself.
Chen Mo invited Zhen Xiaorui to dinner at a restaurant run by a Japanese, and Zhen Xiaorui gladly accepted the invitation.
When he was in school, Chen Mo was a star-like figure in several surrounding schools. Not only did he have good grades and could speak foreign languages, he could also play the most fashionable tennis, dance waltz, and was very generous. I wonder how many girls he was the Prince Charming of!
While eating, Chen Mo casually asked, "Is Zhu Wanyao busy?"
Zhen Xiaorui smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, the great talent, is still thinking about Wanyao?"
After laughing, Zhen Xiaorui's expression turned gloomy again, "What a pity..."
"What's a pity?"
"It's a pity that Wanyao is now working as a translator at the Military Police Headquarters. I heard she's very respected. She seems to enjoy her job, but all she does is help the evil. We've studied for so many years, even if we can't serve our country, we shouldn't..."
Chen Mo interrupted her and said seriously, "You shouldn't say that. It's not good for you, and it's not good for Wan Yao either."
Zhen Xiaorui lowered her head and just ate.
Chen Mo sighed, "It's not easy to survive now, Xiao Rui, don't blame her."
Zhen Xiaorui suddenly asked, "Chen Mo, if Wan Yao went to Japan, would you go with her?"
Chen Mo thought about it, then said firmly: "For me, love is priceless. No matter what Wanyao does, I will support her and accompany her."
"Even if she's committing treasonous acts?"
Chen Mo suddenly put down his chopsticks. "Xiao Rui, do you think resistance can lead to victory? I used to think so too, but now..."
Neither of them was in the mood to eat anymore, so Zhen Xiaorui said goodbye early. Before leaving, she looked at Chen Mo deeply.
After she left, Chen Mo picked up the bowl again and ate mouthful by mouthful, eating very carefully and enjoying himself.
...........
"What? Xiao Rui was arrested!?"
As soon as Zhu Wanyao returned to the girls' school dormitory, she heard her classmates anxiously telling her the news.
"The Military Police Headquarters arrested her, saying she was a rebel. She posted flyers and had connections with people from the south. Wanyao, you work for the Military Police Headquarters. Can you please save her?"
Before Zhu Wanyao could think clearly, someone from the gendarmerie headquarters arrived again.
"Miss Zhu, you have to come with us."
Zhu Wanyao got in the car and went to the headquarters with several military police.
In the interrogation room, Zhen Xiaorui was seen with disheveled hair, being fastened to a torture device. There were no noticeable wounds on his body, but he was in very bad condition.
Shigeto Kenbun sat on a stool with a gloomy face. Seeing Zhu Wanyao coming, he angrily said, "This rebel lives in the same dormitory with you. Zhu Wanyao, why didn't you report it? If you can't explain it clearly today, you and your father will die. Tell me! Are you also in contact with the resistance forces? When you contacted that Chen Mo, were you carrying out the mission I gave you, or were you secretly colluding with him?"
Zhu Wanyao's face turned pale. "Commander, how much have I done for you? I...I! I didn't report Zhen Xiaorui's situation because we've been classmates for three years and live in the same dormitory. We've long been like sisters. I thought she was just talking and wouldn't do anything. I've been trying to persuade her!"
Shigeto Kenbun snorted coldly, "Zhu Wanyao, you're protecting someone who spews protesting rhetoric all day long. How can I trust you?"
Zhu Wanyao gritted her teeth, suddenly stepped forward, and slapped Zhen Xiaorui twice. "You bastard! Hasn't the Imperial Army treated you well? Hasn't the headquarters treated you well? Others can't even eat, but you can still attend dinners all day long. If you can be noticed by an important person, that's your blessing! Why do you do these things? You're hurting yourself, and you're hurting me too!"
Zhen Xiaorui uttered a "Pah" and cursed, "I'm not like you who willingly became a traitor!"
Zhu Wanyao was a little crazy. "I just want to go to Japan. I just want to serve the East Asian Co-Prosperity Belt. What's wrong? Why are you trying to harm me?"
She ran to Shigeto Kenfumi and said, "Commander, I absolutely have no private dealings with the resistance. I was only in contact with Chen Mo according to your orders. Please allow me to torture this little bitch. I want to find out who she has been in contact with! I no longer have her as a friend. She opposed the Empire and the Imperial Army. She is my sworn enemy!"
Shigeto was silent for a long while before he spoke: "Miss Zhu, I am willing to trust you for now, but from now on, you must prove your loyalty with your performance. As for this prisoner, I will interrogate her thoroughly. Since you are unprofessional, you won't have to do it. Come, send Miss Zhu back to rest!"
