Uncle Shazhu, a simple-minded man in a courtyard house, persuades people with reason.

The next morning at 8:00 AM, at Xiangyang Teahouse...

He Ping'an arrived as promised. Zheng Chaoyang, who had been waiting for a long time, was about to greet him when a small head popped out of He Ping'an's arms.

"Mr. He, what's wrong...?"

He Pingan gently placed the little one on the soft couch beside him before he had a chance to explain, "This is my little niece. There's no one else at home, so I'm helping to take care of her."

After carrying him for over two years and taking him for a few walks, he started calling him "Uncle, Uncle." He Ping'an figured there wasn't anything too serious to do today, so he simply carried him out.

At the tea table, Zheng Chaoyang reported in a low voice:

"Sir, we have news about Comrade Tian Dan. She was arrested by the Kuomintang reactionaries on the day of the incident. She is currently being held in Beiping No. 1 Prison, and she is safe!"

He Ping'an's brows furrowed more and more, and he subconsciously closed his teacup, looking at Zheng Chaoyang seriously.

"What do you mean 'nothing's wrong'? And why is he being held in Beiping No. 1 Prison?"

Zheng Chaoyang, a seasoned underworld figure, naturally understood the meaning behind He Ping'an's words. He quickly explained:

"Please don't misunderstand. From what I understand... Comrade Tian Dan is currently 'safe.' The reason the Kuomintang hasn't used torture is because of the protection of the high-ranking officials of the North China Suppression Headquarters. This is also why she's being held in Beiping Prison and hasn't been taken away by the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics!"

For an arrested underground party member, safety often has two meanings: one is his own safety, and the other is the safety of the comrades he is involved with. The safety Zheng Chaoyang speaks of is primarily about confirming that Tian Dan has not betrayed the revolution.

"The North China Suppression Headquarters?"

"Yes, the North China Suppression Headquarters! Bao Tiandan's advisor was a senior advisor named Shen Shichang. He was quite a prominent figure during the Beiyang period, very shrewd and resourceful. Even during the Japanese occupation, he still had his own personal guards at home, and he still does!"

He Ping'an felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. "Shen Shichang... isn't that prison warden named Jin Hai?"

"Yes, it's Jin Hai! He also has two sworn brothers, one is a secret service agent named Tie Lin; the other is Xu Tian, ​​a dark-skinned guy!"

"Jin Hai, Tie Lin, Xu Tian, ​​Tian Dan..." He Ping'an chuckled and shook his head.

"The New World" is great...it saves a lot of trouble!

At noon, at Beiping No. 1 Prison—

Jin Hai, a ruthless figure even more cunning than the mafia, had just finished dealing with a call from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. The shrill ringtone sounded again…

"I am Jin Hai!"

"Boss, your sworn brother Xu Tian's father, Xu Yunnuo, wants to see you. He says it's urgent and he's right at the door!"

At the prison gate, He Ping'an fiddled with the personal items he had taken from Tie Lin and Xu Tian. Knowing the plot, he naturally chose the simplest method. Honorable or dishonest methods? Ha…

"Hello, Mr. Jin! You should recognize these two little things. No need for further words, I just need one person... Tian Dan!"

He Ping'an showed Tie Lin and Xu Tian their personal belongings, directly demanding their presence.

Jin Hai's eyes turned cold as he looked at the pendant in He Ping'an's hand. "Threatening the warden at the prison gate, you're incredibly audacious, even more so than the Secret Service! What if I don't release it?"

"You will!" He Ping'an said firmly. Jin Haiyuan was the nanny of the two brothers in the drama, and he would never disregard their safety.

Half an hour later, Tian Dan was reluctantly pushed and shoved out of the prison. While the prison restricted her freedom, it also ensured her safety! Now…

He Ping'an looked at Tian Dan, who looked like she was about to be executed, and explained in a low voice,

"My hometown is deeply saddened by my uncle's death and has specially assigned me to handle his funeral arrangements. My family is very worried about your safety and is eagerly awaiting your return home."

Tian Dan understood, and she chose to believe He Ping'an. If it were the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, since they had already rescued him from prison, there was no need for them to go through this trouble.

Thank you!

Beside the two, Jin Hai stared intently at He Ping'an with his small eyes. "I've handed the man over to you. What about my two brothers?"

"Zhushikou, Pingyuan Hutong, your woodshed!" He Ping'an glanced at the gun barrels protruding from the prison wall and casually stated the hiding address.

At noon, when the yang energy is at its peak, evil spirits will retreat!

Jin Hai watched the two figures disappear into the distance, his mind racing. Finally, he signaled to his men to lower their guns. Tian Dan understood He Ping'an's almost explicit words, and so did he!

The Communists! Even the General Headquarters of the Suppression Headquarters wouldn't dare mess with them, so why should I get involved? As long as my brothers are safe!

Zheng Chaoyang's warehouse is now He Ping'an's temporary residence. Tian Dan thanked him politely again, but also made another request.

"My father died tragically, his mission is not yet complete, I cannot leave!"

He Ping'an frowned. He had disliked the character from the first time he watched the TV series. It wouldn't matter if Tian Dan had his skills, but she was just a weak woman with a little kung fu, acting more arrogant than the King of Heaven himself.

This is probably... the kind of repulsion that comes from pretentious people!

"I'm sorry, Comrade Tian Dan! My mission is to escort you safely out of the city! As for the old man's revenge, I will help you avenge him..."

With the advantage of the storyline, He Ping'an certainly knew who the murderer was who killed Tian Dan's father. However, he had only arrived in Beiping yesterday and had no evidence whatsoever. Moreover, for Tian Dan, the identities of those two people were far too special…

Shen Shichang and Feng Qingbo! One is Tian Dan's uncle, and the man she and her father are vying for. The other is her lover, with whom she has vowed to hold their wedding in the new world after the revolution's victory.

"Commander He, you... uh!"

He Ping'an didn't want to argue with a woman as arrogant as Tian Dan, so he knocked her unconscious with a karate chop and handed her over to the soldier beside him to take care of. He then turned on the radio to contact his comrades outside to confirm the time and place of the rendezvous.

The "wild" in Higashino... is the "wild" in "truly wild"!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky over Beiping was gradually darkening. A Cadillac L with a license plate from the General Headquarters of the Pacification of the Japanese Army arrogantly drove away from Beiping, ignoring the sentries at the city gate.

He Ping'an was afraid of trouble; in Beiping at that time, there was no better title than the General Headquarters for Suppression. Disguise, infiltration, borrowing a car—all were easy.

As for whether the people in charge of the suppression headquarters would think this was a show of force from the army, or have other miscellaneous thoughts, that's none of their business!

"Uh...where is this?" Tian Dan asked, rubbing her swollen temples from the back seat.

"Outside the city!" Sitting in the driver's seat, He Ping'an focused on observing the movements ahead. Not far away, a carriage creaked as it approached them.

"Alright, Comrade Tian Dan's people are here to meet you!" He Ping'an gentlemanly opened the car door, smiling and "threateningly" asking, "Comrade Tian Dan, did you twist your ankle? Do you need my help?"

He emphasized the word "help" very heavily.

Tian Dan glared at the rude and heartless He Ping'an, and gritted her teeth to squeeze out two words: "No need!"

Before parting, He Ping'an smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes and gave a solemn bow.

"Comrade Tian Dan, please rest assured, I will definitely help Mr. Tian avenge his blood debt!"
