Chapter Thirty-Nine: Dispelling Clouds to Reveal the Sun
"Haha, now we shouldn't have to worry about this anymore. If Zhang Yun Tian really told Er Shu, the Wu Gong team would definitely make a move against the Lei family. By now, they probably would have succeeded. If the Lei family suffered heavy losses, it's likely that the Lei and Mei families would immediately launch a large-scale counterattack. With the current strength of the devils, if they were to launch a full-scale attack on the People's United Party's base, the Wu Gong team would definitely not be able to hold out for long. After all, their formation is only one company, no matter how powerful they are, they can't last much longer. At this time, if Zhang Yun Tian still has his wits about him, he would probably only think of self-preservation. As long as he hasn't become so arrogant and ignorant that he thinks he's invincible, he must be even more anxious than us."
Yan Jufan slowly narrated, stopping for a moment when he got to this point. He stretched out his hand towards Yu Nong, who was intently listening beside him. Yu Nong immediately realized that Yan Jufan was thirsty and wanted tea. However, before she could even move, Qin Si Jiao had already jumped up in an unusual manner, holding the tea and handing it over to Yan Jufan.
"Heh heh" Yan Jufan smiled and carefully took a sip, this was a good habit. He was often teased by his two good apprentices and didn't dare to be careless at all. But this time Qin Siyu had no intention of teasing him.
Yan Ju raised his eyebrows and let out a comfortable sigh, leaning back in his chair. The people who had been listening intently earlier were already accustomed to his personality and no longer felt anxious, much to the disappointment of the mischievous kid who had been waiting with bated breath for everyone to urge him on.
He continued, "From Chen Jian's words, it seems that this time he has decided to teach a lesson to the Lei family, but I think there's more to his personal thoughts. With Zhang Yun Tian's character and age, it's unlikely that he would be so reckless as to send someone to kill the Lei family members. After all, this wouldn't deal a blow to the Japanese devils or punish the traitors, but rather might cause those who are currently observing from the sidelines to lean towards the Japanese devils and traitors. This is absolutely not what Zhang Yun Tian, that cunning old fox, would want to see. This time, they've got a real headache on their hands."
After finishing, he comfortably took a sip of tea and closed his eyes to await the praise from everyone present. As expected, the crowd burst into applause, and the little rascal once again thoroughly enjoyed himself, greatly satisfying his vanity.
However, among these praises were Qin Si's shrill voice shouting "Little Fox" and Yan Yu Nong's "Brother Jiu Fan is so awesome" and other discordant voices. With his thick skin, he was naturally immune to such comments, let alone a few noisy kids.
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, this kid is really clever. The clouds in the sky were analyzed by Yan Jufan and immediately dispersed. Everyone was even more curious about Yan Jufan's brain, what's inside?
However, everyone still decided to provide support for the Wu Gong team as much as possible, because after all, those who were harmed were their own compatriots. Yan Xiawu and Yan Xiweng, Qin Wanjun discussed it for half a day and decided to make a diversion when the devils attacked the Wu Gong team's base. As for these things, Xiaozi was not specifically participating in them, after all, he was not very familiar with the deployment of troops yet.
The sky was still dark, and the hardworking people had already started shouting in the streets. Several night-soil collectors were also shouting as they pushed their large carts through the streets. For a time, Tongcheng, which had just awakened from the darkness of night, was filled with vitality.
A loud noise came from outside Mei Huan-yu's bridal chamber, accompanied by the sound of knocking on the door. Mei Huan-yu was furious and scolded: "Which blind fool is making a racket so early in the morning!" He had only fallen asleep late last night and was still in a good dream when he was disturbed, naturally filling him with anger. However, Lei Ya-tong seemed to sense that something might have happened and hastily advised: "Maybe there's some urgent matter, otherwise who would disturb you at this hour?"
Mei Huan-yu nodded, put on her clothes and walked out. Xue Qing and Shui Xiang had already prepared the washbasin and were waiting for her. Mei Huan-yu hastily finished washing up and rushed outside. Several puppet army officers were walking back and forth, their faces looking somewhat strange.
Mei Huan Yu asked in surprise: "What's going on? What's with your expressions?"
"Report to the battalion commander, yes, yes... something has happened at the Lei family, Lei Zhenhai was killed at the silk fabric store, all 23 people in the silk fabric store were killed." A company commander stuttered.
Mei Huan Yu was shocked: "What? Say it again, who died?"
A crashing sound came from inside the house, followed by Snow Qing and Shui Xiang's anxious cries: "Miss, miss, what's wrong?"
Mei Huan-yu grabbed the company commander and asked loudly: "What's going on? Say it again!"
That fake soldier's mouth trembled as he repeated himself, and Mei Huan-yu was furious, stretching out his hand to throw him away: "You bunch of rice buckets, didn't you promise to protect the Lei family well? Yet you've caused such a big mess."
Mei Huan-yu reached out and grabbed the gun, causing several puppet soldiers to tremble. Seeing him put the gun into his waist, they finally felt at ease. "Let's go! Take a look!" Mei Huan-yu waved his hand.
"Wait, I'll go with you too." Lei Ya Tong had already come out dressed in a simple white outfit, with a black veil covering her face. Xue Qing and Shui Xiang were also dressed in military attire, standing guard behind her.
Mei Huan-yu sighed, "Sorry, it's my subordinate who didn't protect your second uncle well. Otherwise, you shouldn't have gone home first." Mei Huan-yu comforted in a soft voice.
Lei Ya Tong didn't say a word, just looked at Mei Huan Yu, "Forget it, let's go together then." Mei Huan Yu waved his hand and led the way, protecting Lei Ya Tong as they rushed to the South City Brocade Store.
Yamamoto Kitaro had already received the intelligence, but he was delighted about the death of Lei Jia Er Ye. He made an exception and drank a cup to celebrate in the early morning. Since the Imperial Japanese Army entered this country under the pretext of protecting the Golden Dynasty, he had been sneering at these wavering guys, occasionally suppressing them, but not pushing them to desperation. He thought he had grasped the measure well. Now, a group of bumpkins helped him greatly, and now let's see if those wavering guys would come crying to beg for themselves.
Yamamoto Kamejiro poured himself another cup of sake, this one to thank the Wu Gong team for their help. From today on, they would face the combined siege of the Imperial Japanese Army and local forces, hoping that those guys could live a little longer.
The third cup is for Mei Huan-yu, let's see if he can still muddle through in front of himself. Let's see how they use the "rare foolishness" of their ancestors this time. Yamamoto Kitaro was somewhat eager to see Mei Huan-yu's reaction.
Of course, the fourth cup can't be drunk anymore. Drinking with the Japanese national's capacity would expose one's true nature. Moreover, later on, I still need to go pay respects to that dead "Hakka" and take advantage of the opportunity to embezzle some military funds to avenge him, getting drunk wouldn't be sincere.
Nancheng Silk Warehouse, surrounded by fully armed puppet troops outside. Mei Huan-yu led the crowd in. A bloody smell wafted out of the courtyard, with people being carried out from various rooms one after another, all having their throats cut off. The puppet soldiers carrying the corpses all lowered their eyes and dared not look, these people might be their own future fate.
