"It's true, what's wrong?"

"I heard on the radio today that there was a problem with the railway and service was suspended this afternoon. It won't be back on until it's repaired. How did you get back?"

At this moment, Sun Xiaolan also looked at Zhang Tianhao with some doubt, after all, this matter really didn't make sense.

“Who told you I came by train? I came back in a car. There were three of us: the hostess, the driver, and me.”

"You're riding in a car, not a train. I thought it was a train!"

What are you thinking about?

Seeing her puzzled expression, he reached out and gently flicked her nose, asking with amusement.

"Oh, it's nothing."

As she spoke, she pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed, put her arms around his neck, and leaned down to kiss him.

An hour and a half later, she leaned against his arm, wrapped her arms around his waist, and whispered, "The news from Lao Zhou is that the Japanese seem to be planning a war against northern Jiangsu. I don't know the specifics. They're also gathering information."

"There's no need to worry about the war starting in northern Jiangsu. It's not a big deal, and it's unlikely to escalate into a full-blown conflict."

He smiled and didn't say anything more, but instead kissed her cheek.

"What else did you say?"

"The Doi-Yuan organization and the Tanaka organization seem to have joined forces to come up with some kind of plan to suppress people in various parts of southern Jiangsu and to prevent population loss."

"Population loss?"

"Yes!"

"It seems the Japanese have already discovered quite a few problems!"

His thoughts also began to emerge, and he immediately thought of many things. After all, in the southern Jiangsu region, if there was an opportunity, special operations teams would go to various places to mobilize and then arrange routes to send ordinary people to northern Jiangsu.

Is there anything else?

"Also, there's a symbol on the wall to the left of our front door. I don't know who drew it, but it's a C. Take a look. Maybe someone wants to see you, but you're not here, so they want to contact you."

"Wipe it off before dawn. There's nothing there. It's probably just some kid's prank drawing on it."

"Oh, by the way, a Miss Hou, Hou Mingyue from the Hou family, sent a letter over and left it on this table."

Have you seen it?

He smiled and reached out to gently pinch her nose, laughing indulgently.

"No, you didn't show me, how could I dare to look!"

"It's alright, I guess the envelopes aren't enough to make a living, are they?"

"how do you know?"

Upon hearing this, she looked at Zhang Tianhao with some shock.

"Did the higher-ups also tell me to thank Dr. Wang and, if I have the opportunity, to go and see her in person to express my gratitude?"

"How did you know..."

Before she could finish speaking, she immediately realized that Zhang Tianhao had tricked her. After all, she had indeed read the letter and had been tricked into revealing it.

"hehe!"

What's going on?

"I went to check on her face on Friday afternoon. The gauze has been removed and her face has basically recovered. The only thing that hasn't recovered yet is the color difference on her face, which will take some time to adjust. After all, the skin on her thighs is still somewhat different from the skin on her face."

"Oh, I see. Didn't you say it would take at least a month for her stitches to be removed? How come they were removed after only twenty-odd days?" "It's nothing, she's recovering well. I used some good medicine to speed up her recovery."

"No wonder!"

"You can go and see her when you have time. After all, you cured her face, so you will definitely reward her handsomely."

"No need, she has already left Shanghai, we don't need to worry about her."

After talking for a while, Sun Xiaolan got sleepy again and slowly fell asleep leaning against him.

Zhang Tianhao, however, was not sleepy at all. After all, if Arui wanted to cause him trouble, how could he be polite? He hadn't had time to deal with it the past two days, but now that he was back in Shanghai, he wasn't so tired, so he naturally wouldn't hold back and resort to underhanded tactics.

Thinking of this, he carefully put Sun Xiaolan's hand aside, then got up and walked directly into the courtyard.

He changed back into all black clothes and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

Half an hour later, he returned to the courtyard again, a faint, cold smile creeping onto his lips.

Half an hour is enough for him to do a lot of things in Shanghai. As for the situation of Arui's family, he naturally needs to take good care of it.

But when he returned to the courtyard, the Arui family on the other side had already changed.

Arui's leg was broken, and it was the kind that could never be repaired. His family's wealth also disappeared almost entirely in an instant.

Some of the family's precious treasures, and even a large amount of gold and silver, all disappeared.

The Arui family, already in complete chaos, had no idea who they had offended, who had robbed them of their money and even injured Arui.

However, the family members clearly sensed that this incident was related to Arui, since only Arui had been beaten to this extent.

Back home, Zhang Tianhao hugged Sun Xiaolan again, then slipped under the covers and began to rest.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was dawn.

……

Inside the Tufeiyuan machine, Tufeiyuan, his eyes bloodshot, looked at Xiaoze in front of him and took a deep breath.

"Xiaoze, has any news come in? Any updates from the Empire?"

"No, we haven't received any news from the Empire. We've inquired, but they still haven't received any new information about the fleet."

"Chief, also, the planes we sent out from Shanghai and Shandong should be returning soon, but the airport hasn't received any news. I suspect the entire fleet might have encountered an accident."

"If the entire fleet is destroyed, the impact will be enormous. Notify the airport to continue sending planes to scout ahead. We must find out where the fleet went!"

"Hi!"

He rubbed his temples, looked up at the window, and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

It was already dawn outside, but having not slept all night, he felt no sleepiness whatsoever and was even filled with a sense of fear.

If the fleet is indeed missing or has disappeared, it means that the fleet may have encountered other unexpected events, been directly destroyed, or experienced some strange occurrence.

This made him feel boundless fear. Faced with such an unknown enemy, even someone as composed as him could not withstand the pressure.

After all, he was powerless to stop the bizarre events.

"Investigate! We must find out where these warships went. Even if they've disappeared, we must find them."

"Hi!"

With his order given, Japanese aircraft from across North and Central China flew at breakneck speed toward the East China Sea, searching for the lost warship. (End of Chapter)
