Period drama: Old Cao's carefree life

Chapter 164 You dare to flirt with me, Master Duo!

"uh-huh."

Liu Rusi woke up in a daze and felt herself being held in someone's arms. She was startled at first, but when she looked up and saw Cao Weida's face, her memory instantly recalled everything that had happened last night.

Her tense muscles softened quickly, and she buried her head in his chest with a mixture of longing and shyness.

Seeing her ostrich-like demeanor, Cao Weida initially wanted to make a joke, but then thought better of it and said softly:

"I'll go to the police station to check in and find out the Japanese's attitude today. It should be safe here for now. I'll lock the door after I leave. Be careful."

Liu Rusi gave a muffled "hmm," her attitude unusually obedient and sensible.

On the way to the police station, Cao Weida, sitting in the rickshaw, looked around seemingly unintentionally.

The number of military police has increased significantly today, and checkpoints have been set up at various intersections. They start questioning anyone they catch, and even Cao Wei Da was forced to stop.

He was only able to pass through after he produced the identification that Ono Oda had given him.

Upon arriving at the police station, as soon as I entered the office building, I was pulled aside by Duomen.

Looking around to make sure no one was watching, he whispered, "Where did you go last night, kid?"

"Of course I'll stay home and sleep. What else can I do at night if I'm not at home sleeping?"

"Don't try to fool me, kid. I called both of your concubines last night, and you weren't even home!"

"Uh..." Cao Weida suddenly regretted it. Why did he have to install a telephone at home?
There is always a loophole in a perfect plan. There is always a loophole in a perfect plan!

You'll have to be more careful in the future and never make such a mistake again.

However, last night's situation was indeed special. Who knew that Liu Rusi would be in danger? He couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

He asked cautiously, "No one else should know, right?"

"Don't worry, only I know." Duomen sighed inwardly. When Cao Weida was still living in his courtyard, he killed someone for the first time. Duomen knew that this kid was definitely not someone to be trifled with, and definitely not the harmless person he appeared to be.

He did have some suspicions, but he just pretended not to know.

He looked intently at Cao Weida and said earnestly, "Cao'er, I don't want to interfere with what you do; you have your own ideas."

“I know your character; you would never do anything immoral.”

"However, you should think twice before acting. You are no longer alone. You have a woman to support. Your safety should be your top priority."

Cao Weida grinned, "Don't worry, Master Duo. You know I'm a coward and afraid of death."

"Besides, I'm greedy and lustful. I just took a concubine, and I'll take two more tomorrow or the day after. I'll take another one in a couple of days. With so many women for me to enjoy, how could I bear to die?"

With his current skills, as long as he doesn't foolishly get surrounded and his identity isn't exposed, he's the one killing others, and others are the ones trying to kill him.
Arabian Nights!

Duomen was taken aback. "You're going to take another concubine? And three at once?"

"Of course, who can blame me for being handsome, young, and rich?" Cao Weida tossed his hair smugly, looking incredibly irritating.

Duomen rolled his eyes, feeling incredibly bitter inside.

Well, your master doesn't even have a single woman, but you've got five already.

He said irritably, "You're still young, so be a little more restrained. With so many women, how can you manage? Aren't you afraid of dying on a woman's belly one day?"

Cao Wei Da patted his chest triumphantly and said, "Who told me to be so tough!"

Duomen curled his lip in disgust. "Forget it, I can't be bothered with your nonsense. Just don't let me see you staggering along the wall again."

"Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. I'm really sleepy right now, I have no energy, and I'm not in the mood to chat with you."

"Huh? What's going on?" Cao Weida seemed to have noticed something amiss, and winked at him.

"My third sister-in-law told me she found you a woman. Could it be that you went to see that woman last night?"

"Master Duo, you're in too much of a hurry! You need to take it easy. Although matters between men and women are indeed addictive, and you've been holding back for quite a while, this can't be right. Look how tired you are."

"Go away, what nonsense are you spouting? You dare to tease your grandpa like that?" Duomen Mantou's face darkened, and he even blushed slightly.
"Last night, the military police discovered that the Kuomintang was conducting an intelligence transaction, and a gunfight ensued when they tried to arrest them."

At this point, he gave Cao Weida a deep look. "Judging from the traces of the battle at the scene, one of the Kuomintang agents must have been injured and trapped in a dead end, about to be captured alive."

"Then another person appeared and shot all the military police with an automatic rifle, and rescued the man." "Although the military police reinforcements arrived quickly, they were too late and the man was carried away."

At this point, Duomen paused, then looked away helplessly and said:

"I was sleeping soundly at home when someone woke me up from my bed to set up a checkpoint."

"It's been a whole night, and I haven't closed my eyes once. How can I not be sleepy?"

“Unlike you, kid, you’re just a patrol officer who doesn’t do any real work and just wanders around all day doing nothing.”

Cao Weida rubbed his nose. This was really not his fault; he had just happened to be there.

Who would have thought that things would happen so coincidentally right in front of him?

To be honest, he still didn't expect the story to develop like this. Liu Rusi, who had no connection with him before, suddenly became his woman. It was all too magical.

"By the way, Master Duo, do you know who this person is? Male or female? They're incredibly impressive! They did something so big and still managed to escape unscathed!"

Duomen: "Who knows? All the Japanese soldiers who knew the details last night are dead. The pursuers are too far away, and we can't see them clearly at night. Who knows who they are?"

Oh, so you didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl. That puts my mind at ease.

Just then, a dog barked, and Cao Weida asked in surprise, "When did our police station start keeping police dogs?"

“What police dog? That’s a military dog,” Duomen replied. “I was just about to tell you. They were transferred from Changxindian last night to track down the Kuomintang agent who escaped last night and the person who rescued him.”

"They've even started using military dogs?" Cao Weida frowned, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

If this hadn't been brought up, Cao Weida wouldn't have realized he'd overlooked this!
After the fall of Beiping in 1937, the Japanese army selected a railway factory in Changxindian and converted it into a dog breeding base. The base was surrounded by a wall with electrified barbed wire installed on the wall, and guard towers and eleven dog kennels were built to train military dogs.

At its peak, this place housed over a thousand ferocious Japanese wolves. To ensure their aggressiveness, the Japanese army even used Chinese prisoners of war and civilians as live food for the wolves!
According to war criminal interrogation records, between 1938 and 1940, an average of three people were thrown into the wolfhound pit every two days.
After the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan, the soldiers and civilians of Changxindian stormed the base. The angry people used farm tools to end the lives of these military dogs and discovered 378 human skeletons while clearing the site.

But is that all?

Definitely not. How many of them haven't been discovered yet?
No one knows!
The Japanese devils' madness is simply outrageous.

Those keyboard warriors and public intellectuals who later whitewashed the Japanese are either fools, have ulterior motives, or may even be bribed traitors—a walking 500,000!

Those who say that World War II is a thing of the past and should not be repeatedly mentioned, and who forgive the atrocities committed by the Japanese on behalf of our ancestors, are scum of the Chinese people!

If people truly want to forgive the atrocities committed by the Japanese army on behalf of their ancestors, the country should establish a special institution to allow them to personally experience the tragic fate suffered by their ancestors.

If they later felt that these things shouldn't be remembered, then Cao Wei Da would definitely give him a thumbs up.

"We still haven't killed enough Japanese devils. There are only about one year and four months left until the victory of the War of Resistance. We need to hurry up and kill more Japanese devils, otherwise, it will be much more difficult to kill them after Japan surrenders."

"Also, we need to find a way to take down this military dog ​​base!"

"That's right. After the military dogs were brought in last night, they started searching along the way. I heard they were heading towards the Peking University Red Building. They're pretty bold."

Cao Wei Da was slightly startled, but remained calm and asked, "Was the investigation ultimately successful?"

Duo glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. "No, I heard that too much time has passed and the scent has dissipated, so we were unable to track it down. However, the Peking University Red Building and all the streets and alleys nearby have been sealed off, and they are being inspected door-to-door."

Cao Weida breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that he had been cautious last night and moved to a different location overnight; otherwise, he might have been in real danger today.

After relaxing, he said in a light tone, "Go ahead and investigate. It's better to find out sooner rather than later, so that Beiping won't be under martial law every day and people won't dare to go out."

Duomen gave him a meaningful look. Seeing how relaxed he was, he felt relieved, yawned widely, and said sleepily, "Alright, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to find a place to take a nap. Don't bother me unless it's important, and don't look for me if you need anything."

"Oh, by the way, I have a list on my desk. It lists people who were arrested by the Japanese and their collaborators. The prices are written on it. Go and talk to them to get them released when you have some free time."

"Okay, I'll take care of it in a bit. You can go and get some rest, Master."

Looking at Duomen's back, Cao Weida was filled with mixed emotions. He wasn't stupid, so how could he not see that Duomen had already guessed what was going on?
I said all those things on purpose for him to hear!
Otherwise, how would Duomen know so much?
He's not the type to meddle in other people's business; he's just trying to gather information for me so he can keep me informed!
Call Little Ears over and entrust this matter to him.

At first, he might have had to do these small things himself, but now that the business has gradually expanded, he no longer needs to do these small things unless necessary, as he has already informed everyone in charge.

Little Ears confidently assured him that he had done this more than once.

He whispered in her ear, "The people we arrested yesterday were made to denounce each other, and some torture was used. Five of them had blood on their hands, including the cat who went to the hospital to have his wounds bandaged. They were all secretly detained."

"The rest were sent to the Beijing Prison early this morning. Xiao Jianbiao's house was also searched, and a total of more than four thousand silver dollars, two large yellow croakers and five small yellow croakers were found. They are all in your office."
