Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2962 Hero, I was wrong, let's talk this out!
"Young lady, don't be afraid, we are good people. What's your name? How did you get captured by this Chairman Wang?"

Tang Jiujiu quickly stepped forward, took the bride's hand, and comforted her.

Perhaps because they were both women, the bride trusted Tang Jiujiu completely, and sobbed as she said, "My name is Xiaolian, and I'm from Lijia Village outside the city. A few days ago, Chairman Wang brought a group of people to our village, saying that my family owed him a debt and that they wanted to take me to pay it off. My parents begged and pleaded, but they wouldn't listen and even beat them up. I... I was taken here by them like this."

Upon hearing this, Tang Jiujiu gritted her teeth in anger: "This Chairman Wang is simply lawless, actually doing such a heinous thing! Xiaolian, don't worry, we will definitely rescue you."

Xiao Lian looked at the two of them gratefully and nodded: "Thank you. I, Xiao Lian, will always remember your great kindness."

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, followed by the guard's voice: "President, you're back! Do you need us to serve you?"

Chairman Wang had drunk a bit too much and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, go downstairs. I'm going to consummate my marriage!"

"Yes, President!"

The two traitors obeyed the order and quickly withdrew, closing the door behind them.

The room fell silent, with only Chairman Wang's heavy breathing remaining.

He staggered towards the bed, his eyes lecherously fixed on Xiaolian, who sat upright on the edge of the bed. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and teased, "Little beauty, today you belong to your master. Obediently submit to your master, and you'll have a good life from now on."

Xiaolian was so frightened that her face turned pale, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands.

Seeing Xiaolian like this, Chairman Wang became even more excited and reached out to touch Xiaolian's face.

But just then, a dark gun barrel was suddenly pressed against his head.

Then, Duanwu's cold voice rang in Chairman Wang's ear: "Don't move. If you dare to move, I'll blow your head off."

Chairman Wang instantly sobered up, his body stiffened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He slowly turned his head and saw Duanwu and Tang Jiujiu standing behind him with angry expressions. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Please spare my life, sir! Please spare my life!"

Chairman Wang pleaded for mercy in a trembling voice. Although he recognized Duanwu and Tang Jiujiu as the distinguished guests who had just arrived in Fuyang County, with a gun pointed at his head, even if he was stupid, he would understand that the other party might not be in business.

As for those ten small yellow croakers, even a fool would know they were fake; the other party might even be trying to rob them.

So he quickly said, "I don't know which gang you two are from. Let's talk this out. As long as you don't kill me, I'll give you whatever you want!"

Tang Jiujiu stepped forward, glared fiercely at Chairman Wang, and angrily rebuked him: "You wicked traitor, who forcibly abducts women and oppresses the people, today is your day of death!"

Upon hearing this, Chairman Wang was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Grandma, I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time. I was forced by the Japanese devils. If I didn't become the chairman, they would cut off my head!"

Duanwu sneered, "Spare you? Who will spare those whose families you've ruined?" But then he paused, adding, "Actually, sparing you isn't impossible, but you have to tell me about the Fuyang County arsenal. You should know about that, right?"

Chairman Wang's eyes flickered, and he stammered, "Good man, I... I don't know anything about an armory. You must have made a mistake."

Duanwu frowned, tightened his grip slightly, and pressed the gun barrel against Chairman Wang's head again: "Don't try anything funny with me. If you don't talk, I'll send you to the Western Paradise right now."

Chairman Wang felt the cold, piercing muzzle of the gun on his head and was terrified. He hurriedly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk! The armory is in the west of the city. It's guarded by the Imperial Army, no, no, by the Japanese. There's probably an infantry battalion and a security regiment, about three hundred people."

Duanwu continued, "You should also know about their deployment, right?"

Chairman Wang waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "How would I know? These are military secrets; the Japanese wouldn't tell me."

But Duanwu didn't believe it at all. As the president of both the Chamber of Commerce and the Public Security Association, it was impossible for Chairman Wang to know everything.

He slightly raised the muzzle of the gun and pressed it against Chairman Wang's forehead again, saying, "I know what you're up to. You're trying to fool me with some useless information. And you're also certain that I won't dare to fire, because if I do, your men will hear it immediately, the Japanese will impose martial law on the whole city, and I won't be able to leave, is that right?"

Chairman Wang suddenly seemed like a completely different person. The look of fear and pleading on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a sinister and arrogant expression.

He straightened his back, looked coldly at Duanwu, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Now that you know, I won't pretend anymore. This is really what I think. I don't believe anyone is unafraid of death!"

Duanwu scoffed, keeping the gun pressed against Chairman Wang's forehead, and retorted, "Are you really sure I won't dare to shoot?"

Chairman Wang laughed defiantly: "Haha, go ahead and shoot! As soon as the gun goes off, the people outside will rush in, and then you, your little lover, and this little bitch will all die without a burial place!"

As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Li Xiaolian.

Li Xiaolian trembled with fright and instinctively hid behind Tang Jiujiu.

Tang Jiujiu's eyebrows shot up, and she shouted angrily, "You traitorous dog, you still dare to talk back even when you're about to die!"

Duanwu waved her hand slightly to stop Tang Jiujiu, and then slowly pulled out a dagger from her lower back.

He gave Chairman Wang a fake smile with the corners of his mouth curled up: "Chairman Wang, look, I specially prepared this. This way, there won't be any gunshots, right?"

Upon seeing the dagger, Chairman Wang knelt down again with a thud: "Hero, I was wrong, let's talk this out!"

Duanwu sneered, "Now you're scared? If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place! Tell me the detailed layout of the armory, not a single word is left out, or you know the consequences. Of course, you can also bet that I dare not kill anyone, or that I've never killed anyone before!"

Chairman Wang's expression turned ugly as his lips twitched. He thought to himself, "You've prepared guns and daggers, and now you want me to bet you won't dare to kill anyone? Isn't that like asking for trouble?"

Without hesitation, Chairman Wang revealed everything he knew about the Japanese arsenal's defenses.
