Chapter 321: Those who speak righteousness lightly

Two days later.

Zheng Yumin appeared on Ma Shi Street.

Sergeant Li from the special attack team and his two subordinates mixed in with the crowd, following secretly from a close distance. They received an order from Somekawa Kazuo to keep an eye on Zheng Yumin and find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Didi!

Suddenly, a police car came speeding from the side and stopped right between Zheng Yumin and the special attack team. Six or seven policemen jumped out of the car, led by Lieutenant Liu.

"Why is it him again..."

Sergeant Li frowned.

Lieutenant Liu shouted, "Everyone, get your documents ready for a surprise inspection!"

Nowadays, this kind of situation is common, whether in the Kuomintang-controlled areas or in the occupied areas. The people are no longer surprised and have long been accustomed to it.

Seeing Zheng Yumin walking further and further away, Sergeant Li became anxious. He pushed aside the people in front of him and squeezed in front of Lieutenant Liu. He whispered, "I am Sergeant Li of the Kanto Army's Jiandao Special Attack Team. I have been ordered to carry out a secret mission. Please let me pass!"

"Certificate."

Captain Liu was unyielding.

Sergeant Li had no choice but to show his ID. Since it was a secret surveillance, if he had an argument with the police, he would be actively exposing his identity.

Lieutenant Liu opened the ID again, carefully compared the photo, and looked at Li Juncai: "It doesn't look like you, is it you?"

Li Junshi glared at him and said, "I warn you, stop talking nonsense. Can you afford to delay Major Somekawa's work?"

Officer Liu said with a playful smile: "It was just a joke, why are you so angry? You Chaoxian people are really hard to resist. Besides, this is just routine work...Okay, you can go ahead."

Sergeant Li snatched the certificate, squeezed through the crowd, and tried to find Zheng Yumin, but he didn't know where he had gone.

There are many small streets and alleys in this area, and they are interconnected, like a huge maze. Outsiders who are not familiar with the terrain will not be able to get out for a while without someone to show them the way.

……

Zheng Yumin walked along the narrow alley and turned several turns before arriving at a private house. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Liu Shufen came towards him from the other end of the alley with an expressionless face.

"Shufen?"

Zheng Yumin was surprised.

Liu Shufen said nothing.

Zheng Yumin came forward, pulled Liu Shufen away, and then said, "I went to your house many times in the past two days, and every time you said you were not at home. Shufen, are you deliberately avoiding me?"

"Before, you always said that I was weak-willed, and I admit that, but no matter what, I will never sell out my conscience or my friends!"

Liu Shufen was extremely disappointed.

Zheng Yumin said: "I knew you were angry with me... I also have my own difficulties. I did this all for you."

Liu Shufen sneered: "For me? Zheng Yumin, you are really good at making excuses! I now know that to recognize a person, you can't look at what he says, but what he does. The ancients said it so right, those who talk about justice lightly will betray in battle!"

Zheng Yumin's face turned red, but he had no way to defend himself and kept sighing.

Liu Shufen asked, "Why did you come to see Xiao Liang today?"

"I got him some medicine."

Zheng Yumin took out a bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine.

Liu Shufen snorted: "If you are so kind, why betray him?"

Zheng Yumin said: "You also heard it at the time. The Secret Service Department already knew where Xiao Liang lived. How can you say that I betrayed him?"

Liu Shufen's expression eased a little, and she said to herself, "Strange, knowing that Xiao Liang lived here, why didn't they come to arrest him?"

"I'm going to see Xiao Liang, you go back."

Zheng Yumin turned and was about to leave.

Liu Shufen said, "I'll go too."

Zheng Yumin said: "You don't have to go."

Liu Shufen said: "If you can go, why can't I? Oh, you are afraid that I will tell Xiao Liang that you betrayed and surrendered to the enemy."

Zheng Yumin was helpless: "Shufen, can we be reasonable? Given the situation at the time, what's wrong with saying something insignificant in exchange for our freedom?"

Liu Shufen said, "It's not a question of right or wrong, you are trying to change the concept." Zheng Yumin was a little emotional: "Gao Kejian told me that if we don't cooperate with the investigation, we will both be sent to Pingfang Military Area. I am a man, so it's easy for me to deal with it. At most, I will die. You are a woman, what will you face, do you know!"

Liu Shufen choked back, "I'm not afraid!"

Zheng Yumin surrendered: "You are not afraid, but I am... You can go see Xiao Liang if you want, but you can't mention what happened that day. You know Xiao Liang has a bad temper and won't tolerate any explanation."

Liu Shufen said: "I will try my best."

Zheng Yumin said: "If you don't want to see Xiao Liang and I fighting, you'd better try your best."

Liu Shufen curled her lips and said, "Xiao Liang knows martial arts, can you beat him?"

Zheng Yumin said calmly: "So, do you want to see one of us die?"

Liu Shufen was speechless.

Zheng Yumin suddenly discovered that in front of Liu Shufen, he was always particularly eloquent and could convince the other party with all kinds of reasons.

The two came to the door and Zheng Yumin knocked: "Xiao Liang, it's me."

After a while, the door opened halfway, revealing Liang Hao's pale and surprised face: "Why are you here? Come in quickly."

Zheng Yumin entered the room, followed by Liu Shufen. Liang Hao locked the door and stood at the doorway, listening for a while before turning around and looking at the two of them: "Did they have a fight?"

Zheng Yumin smiled and said, "We didn't quarrel, we just had a few words..."

"That's not the same thing."

Liang Hao didn't ask any more questions and put the dagger on the table. It was common for couples to quarrel, and it was not easy for an outsider to dig into the matter.

Liu Shufen couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing with the knife?"

Liang Hao laughed and said, "I just thought in my mind that if Yumin betrays me and brings the police to arrest me, I will give him a beating, haha."

"Just talk nonsense."

Zheng Yumin looked at Liu Shufen guiltily.

Liu Shufen thought to herself that if she told the truth, judging from the situation, Xiao Liang might really kill Zheng Yumin in a rage.

Liu Shufen and Zheng Yumin were childhood sweethearts and had a deep relationship. Although she was dissatisfied with Zheng Yumin's surrender, she still favored him in her heart.

"I haven't been out these days. Have you seen Mr. Han?"

Liang Hao asked Zheng Yumin.

Zheng Yumin said: "He didn't go."

Liang Hao frowned: "Didn't go? You shouldn't go. You agreed to go. Why didn't you go? Did something unexpected happen..."

Liu Shufen was about to speak.

Zheng Yumin hurriedly said, "Xiao Liang, how is your injury?"

Liang Hao smiled bitterly, shook his head, and took off the cotton coat he was wearing.

In order to facilitate the dressing change, he only wore a vest on his upper body and his shoulder was wrapped in a bloodstained bandage. The wound had already festered and was oozing yellow fluid. The surrounding area was obviously red and swollen, and it was obviously infected.

Liang Hao said lightly: "The iron thorn is covered with rust and infected."

Liu Shufen asked: "Didn't you apply the medicine?"

Liang Hao said: "It doesn't work."

Liu Shufen leaned in and looked carefully for a while: "Xiao Liang, let's go to the hospital."

Liang Hao shook his head slightly: "Mr. Han specifically instructed that if you are injured during the operation, you must not go to the hospital, clinic or pharmacy. The enemy will definitely send people to monitor these places."

"What should I do..."

Liu Shufen was extremely anxious.

Zheng Yumin said: "Xiao Liang, judging from the current situation, we cannot solve the problem on our own. We can only ask the Military Control Commission for help."

Liang Hao said: "They can find us, but we can't find them."

Zheng Yumin asked tentatively: "How did Mr. Han find you in the first place?"

Liang Hao's eyes lit up: "The school worker, Old Yang, must know Mr. Han!"
