"it is good!"

Hearing that there was hope, she naturally understood that if it really worked, she would be overjoyed.

"Alright, I'm here. You didn't even invite me to get a proper rest. Honestly!"

"Aren't you angry with me and don't want me anymore?"

"Don't you know you don't want me? If I don't leave, are we both just going to sit there and wait to die? You're brainless! Even your dad knew how serious this was, that's why he sent you away, and now you're blaming me!"

"why?"

"Both the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Zhongtong) and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Juntong) want me to treat their injuries. Do you think the Japanese will let me go or will they let you go? Don't you know what our relationship is?"

"Aren't you afraid they'll find out you've come to Shanghai?"

"It's okay. It doesn't make much difference whether I know or not. I'm going to have an interview in a few days now that I'm in Shanghai."

"you you you……"

"Hehe, it's not like we haven't been through this before, what's there to be embarrassed about!"

He smiled and looked at her, a smile now appearing on his face.

……

The next day, he went to the concession and went directly to one of his secret safe houses, where he could get some rest.

As for Song Wen, she was also brought along by him, but she was dressed up to prevent others from recognizing her, which was unavoidable.

Looking at the new room, Song Wen breathed a sigh of relief. It was a small courtyard, quite ordinary inside, without any outrageous decorations or luxurious items.

What he needs to do now is pack everything up and tidy up this temporary home.

"Xiaowen, you rest outside for a while, I'll take care of the cleaning."

"Shall we go together?"

"No need, it'll be ready in a moment!"

He smiled, entered the house, and with a casual wave of his hand, countless streams of spiritual energy enveloped the entire room. Immediately, countless specks of dust vanished into thin air and reappeared on the ground to one side.

The furniture looked as if it had just been wiped clean.

He went to the other two rooms again and used the same method to clean the dust in several rooms. He smiled with satisfaction, picked up a rag, fetched some water, and began to wipe various places.

Even though he used his mental power, there were still some blind spots, or stubborn dust on the furniture that hadn't been cleaned properly.

Outside, Song Wen watched as Zhang Tianhao went in and came out with a basin to fetch water a few minutes later, and a smile involuntarily spread across her face.

They also came up to help, and took all the things on the bed out to wash and dry.

That way, I'll have a place to sleep at night.

Seeing that the house was lacking in various things, he gave a wry smile and then said directly to Song Wen, "I'll stay here, I'll go out and buy some things."

"it is good!"

Looking around the house, Song Wen realized that the house was missing too many things.

Zhang Tianhao went outside and found a tricycle.

Three hours later, a whole truckload of things was moved into the small courtyard, followed by a little girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old.

"Brother, who is this? Why is she a little girl?"

"I bought it on the way here. There's no one home, so I bought one to keep you company. It can also help you cook, since you can't cook!"

"Oh, I see. Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Song Wen blushed. After all, the food she cooked was truly inedible. Having never cooked before, she had been suffering terribly lately.

"Xiaoyue, this will be your home from now on. This is Miss Song. She is not in good health. Your main job is to take care of her, cook for her, do her laundry, and even buy groceries."

"Can you do it?" "Mr. Wang, I can do it, thank you!"

"No need. Just do your job well, and I won't treat you unfairly."

"Yes!"

Although Xiaoyue is only twelve or thirteen years old, she is at most the height of a ten-year-old child, only 1.2 or 1.3 meters tall. She is quite thin and small, and she might even be blown away by the wind.

"Miss!"

"Xiaoyue, call me sister. I'm not some kind of young lady. And don't listen to your brother. He's just concerned about me."

Song Wen smiled, beckoned Xiaoyue over, and then began to talk about family matters.

Meanwhile, the three of them started tidying up the house together, and Xiaoyue was assigned a small room.

Although it's only about ten square meters, it's enough. A bed, a cabinet, a small table—it looks much better than her house.

"Xiaoyue, tonight we're going to have something nice to eat, rice, and two meat dishes. Do you want to?"

"Ok!"

An hour later, the three of them sat at the dining table, chatting and laughing about interesting things that happened in Shanghai.

"Xiaoyue, what's your family situation? Why were you sold?"

“There are eight people in my family. I have five younger brothers and sisters. My father pulls a rickshaw, and my mother washes clothes for others. We often don’t know where our next meal will come from. Life was so hard. I was originally going to be sold to a brothel, but luckily the master bought me.”

"Ugh!"

Zhang Tianhao knew that children from poor families mature early, but he never expected Xiaoyue's family to be like this.

"Well, it's fate that we met. How about this, tomorrow I'll take your indenture to the police station and help you get a new household registration. You can register it under my name. My surname is Wang, you can call me Dr. Wang."

"I'll name you Wang Yue!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Xiaoyue then realized that she had been sold to a good family. After all, she was a doctor who bought her to take care of people, and the people she needed to take care of were not in very bad health.

"Also, Xiaoyue, you can go to a literacy class. I'll pay for it for you, but you have to get up early every day to buy groceries and cook. Can you manage that?"

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhang Tianhao glanced at Song Wen, smiled, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"Xiaowen, let's change your name tomorrow too. How about Wang Wen?"

Is this okay?

"It's alright, your parents will be very happy to hear that, really. Besides, your health isn't good, so you still need to be extra careful sometimes!"

Upon hearing this, Song Wen understood his meaning perfectly and could only nod in agreement. After all, having a household registration would make everything much easier.

After the three finished eating, Xiaoyue, who was standing to the side, looked at the remaining food on her plate, swallowed hard, and at Zhang Tianhao's request, ate it all up, letting out a satisfied burp.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I ate too much."

"Alright, go wash the dishes!"

"Yes!"

Xiaoyue happily took the dishes and chopsticks to wash. At least for now, she was quite happy. Being able to eat her fill was already a great thing.

"Xiaowen, this is the medicine I bought. I'll have Xiaoyue brew it for you in a bit, and then you can drink it!"

"Ok!"

Song Wen nodded, her smile widening. She rarely enjoyed this feeling of being the sole focus of attention; it was truly a rare treat. (End of Chapter)
