Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 3032 The Suffering in Watanabe's Heart!

At this moment, seeing that Watanabe had failed, Suzuki became eager to try.

He cursed Watanabe inwardly for being such an idiot, messing up even a simple connection.

He took out a small piece of paper he had prepared beforehand from his pocket. He deliberately dropped his pen on the ground, then bent down to pick it up, intending to take a few steps toward the podium and drop the paper inside. This way, Li Xiaolian would have a chance to pick it up and complete the rendezvous.

At this moment, Li Xiaolian naturally noticed Suzuki's action. She pretended to write on the blackboard, but was ready to drop the chalk on the ground at any time, and then take the opportunity to pick up the chalk to collect the note.

Just then, a chubby hand picked up the pen that had fallen to the ground and handed it to Suzuki, who was still in a daze.

Suzuki's eyes widened; he didn't even realize the pen had been placed in his hand.

Good heavens, his flawless rendezvous plan was thwarted by such a chubby big hand.

But then, the owner of the hand complained, "Li Er, you're so careless! You even managed to lose your pen while writing a few words, and I had to pick it up for you. But don't worry, we're brothers, hahaha!"

Liu Jinbiao was laughing heartily, while Suzuki was cursing under his breath, thinking, "What kind of friends are these? Why do they keep ruining my plans?"

But on the surface, he still had to smile apologetically and say, "Look, my hand slipped and the pen flew out. Thanks, Brother Liu. Hehe!"

Suzuki gave an awkward laugh, but in his heart he had already cursed Liu Jinbiao a thousand times over.

Seeing this situation, Cangjing felt that he had to take matters into his own hands.

Moreover, he thought Watanabe and Suzuki's methods were utterly stupid. Going to the toilet, dropping a pen—none of them worked, right? In the end, it's up to me, Kurai, to do it.

Thinking of this, Cangjing suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Teacher Li, I have a question I don't understand and would like to ask you about it."

Li Xiaolian smiled and nodded, thinking to herself that she had finally found someone reliable.

So Li Xiaolian said, "Then come up here, and I'll explain it to you in detail!"

Just as Cangjing was about to get up, Chen Yushan jumped out again and said, "Dachun, there are only a few words. If you don't understand something, I'll teach you when we get back. So don't waste everyone's time. Let Teacher Li explain a few more words so that everyone can learn more."

As he spoke, he kept giving Cangjing meaningful glances.

Cangjing was so angry that his face turned red, but he was helpless and could only sit down dejectedly.

So, after the whole class, Watanabe and the others didn't get a single chance, and they were extremely frustrated.

On the contrary, Liu Jinbiao and Chen Yushan acted as if nothing had happened, and even joked with them from time to time, asking them how they learned in the class.

Watanabe and the others could only force smiles, but inwardly they cursed, "These two guys are like leeches, we just can't shake them off!"

Li Xiaolian, standing on the platform, witnessed everything and was puzzled. Were Liu Jinbiao and Chen Yushan friends of Watanabe and his group? Why were they always causing trouble? She had to find a time to ask them about it.
The next morning, the camp was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and the sun had just risen a little, with the sky still showing the first hint of dawn.

Watanabe got up early and, while everyone else was still asleep, quietly headed toward the center of the camp.

Although the rendezvous yesterday did not succeed, Li Xiaolian said in class: "If you don't understand anything, you can go west from the center of the camp and find her in a detached wooden house. If she is there, she will answer your questions."

But actually, this sentence was telling Watanabe and the others where she lived.

So Watanabe came looking for him early that morning.

Li Xiaolian had just gotten up, not yet wearing her outer coat, and was washing her face. Just then, Watanabe sneaked in furtively.

Li Xiaolian became alert, turned around and saw Watanabe, and only then did she feel relieved.

Watanabe strode forward and said in a low voice, "We've finally found a chance to meet with you. We've been so bored these past few days."

Li Xiaolian also lowered her voice and said, "You all continue to lie low. Without my orders, you are not allowed to make any rash moves. After a while, go to the usual place to meet Tu Gou and let him know you are safe."

"Yes!"

Watanabe accepted the order and turned to leave. The meeting was complete, and he already knew Li Xiaolian's instructions; all that remained was to hurry back to avoid being discovered.

But just then, Li Xiaolian said, "Now, I have something to ask you. What exactly is going on between Liu Jinbiao and Chen Yushan?"

Upon hearing this, Watanabe immediately began to complain bitterly, saying with a helpless expression:
"Sigh, don't even mention it. Back then, in order to successfully infiltrate the anti-Japanese brigade, we thought we should make some Chinese friends so that it would be easier to prove our identities and to better infiltrate the enemy."

But who knew that Liu Jinbiao and Chen Yushan were like two leeches, sticking to us like glue ever since they made contact. They were inseparable from us, following us everywhere we went and interfering in everything we did, leaving us no room to maneuver and making rendezvous even more difficult.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolian frowned slightly, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes. She said, "Didn't you ever suspect that these two people were agents sent by the Anti-Japanese Brigade to monitor you? You know, the Anti-Japanese Brigade has an intelligence department. Maybe they already realized that your identities were questionable."

Upon hearing this, Watanabe hurriedly patted his chest and assured him, "That's absolutely impossible! We entered the mine separately, and we each chose our own targets. If the Anti-Japanese Brigade really had a plan, how could it be such a coincidence that Suzuki and I just happened to run into them, and that we chose them ourselves? Moreover, from the time we've spent getting to know them, they seem like ordinary people, one is a businessman, and the other is a laborer, with nothing unusual about them."

Li Xiaolian pondered for a moment and felt that Watanabe's words made some sense. She slowly nodded and said, "Alright, since you're so sure, I'll trust you for now. However, you still need to be careful and not give anything away. If you find anything amiss, report to me immediately."

Watanabe nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, we'll be careful. So, what should we do next?"

Li Xiaolian thought for a moment and said, "You should remain still and continue to lie low. I will try to find an opportunity to test Liu Jinbiao and Chen Yushan to see if they have any problems. During this time, you should not clash with them to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion."

Watanabe replied, "Okay, I understand. I'll head back now; if I stay too long, it might arouse suspicion."

After saying that, Watanabe peeked out of the wooden house, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then ran off in a flash.

Li Xiaolian watched Watanabe's departing figure, still feeling uneasy. She didn't know who Liu Jinbiao and Chen Yushan really were!
