Chapter 468 She Didn’t Pass On Any Information
The old man looked at Wang Xue and sighed, "So that's how it is! How many of you are there now?"
"There are only about ten of us," said Qin Shili.
"Okay, you can come and live here! It's very safe here. The Japanese devils didn't come here to search when we killed devils several times in the city before," said the old man.
"We also think it's very safe here. We just climbed over the wall to take a look. We thought this was an empty house, but we didn't expect you to be here helping to guard it. Old man, you have very good kung fu." Wang Xueliu said.
"I used to be the head guard of this courtyard. After the master left, the guards were disbanded. I was grateful for the master's kindness to me in the past, so I volunteered to stay and help them look after the house. They said that they would come back after the Japanese devils were driven away," said the old man.
"Where are your family members?" Wang Xueliu asked.
"I have no family left. My family members were all killed by the Japanese. I know kung fu and I managed to escape with great difficulty," said the old man.
"Those Japanese devils deserve to be killed! They owe us Chinese too much blood debt!" said Qin Shili.
"If you two trust me, let your people live here! If it's inconvenient, I can go out and rent a small house to live in, how about that?" said the old man.
"Uncle, what are you saying? How can we not believe you? Who among us Chinese doesn't hate the Japanese? Besides, you also have a deep hatred." Wang Xueliu said.
"Just believe me. Don't worry, I will ask what I should ask and won't ask what I shouldn't ask. I will say what I should say and will never say what I shouldn't say. I have worked as a guard for wealthy families, so I understand this." said the old man.
"Old man, can you join us in fighting the Japanese?" Wang Xueliu asked the old man.
"I also want to fight the Japanese, but I am unable to do so. Now that you are here, I will help you and do what I can. Don't worry! Okay, you two follow me in to see the house!" The old man said as he led the way.
Wang Xueliu and Qin Shili followed the old man into the room. They observed carefully and found that what the old man said was right. The house was a good house, but it was empty. There was nothing else except the bed.
Wang Xueliu believed the old man even more. She thought that no one would know that she had come to the city to look for a house, and the old man didn't know either at first. However, every word the old man said was true.
Wang Xueliu followed the old man around the courtyard and said, "Uncle, we'll live here and pay the rent for you."
"What are you talking about? You live here and fight the Japanese, and I still collect rent? Am I still a Chinese? Not to mention not wanting rent, I will also help you with things, such as cooking and other things. I know how to do it." The old man said with a smile.
"How can we let you do these things? After we live here, there will be someone to cook for us, and you will eat with us. You should let us serve you. By the way, what is your last name?" Wang Xueliu looked at the old man.
"No need to bother, my surname is Wang and my name is Zhixuan. You can call me Uncle Wang!" said the old man with a smile.
"Hello, Uncle Wang!"
"Hello, Uncle Wang!"
Wang Xueliu and Qin Shili shouted happily.
"Okay, you're welcome to move in earlier so we can fight the Japanese." Uncle Wang said with a smile.
Wang Xueliu and Qin Shili were very happy with the old man's straightforwardness and enthusiasm for fighting the Japanese. They decided to choose this place, and immediately said goodbye to the old man and prepared to go back to the mountains to report to Que Dongjin.
Que Dongjin waited until night, then he sneaked into the training camp and saw that everyone was basically asleep. He came to Li Lexuan's door and wanted to secretly pry open the door, but after thinking about it, he knocked on the door gently. He guessed that a woman like Li Lexuan, after eating the forbidden fruit with him in the river, would not be able to bear the loneliness after returning to the training camp, and she might have another man.
Li Lexuan heard a knock on the door and thought it was Lao Ji coming. She said softly, "I just lay down. Wait a moment."
Que Dongjin's heart tightened, aching. His suspicions had become reality, and he couldn't bear it. The woman he once loved had always been cold and indifferent. It hadn't been long since she'd been close to him before she'd started dating another man. Of course, Que Dongjin didn't know she'd been with several men. If he had known, he wouldn't have known how agonizing it would have been.
The door opened, Que Dongjin slipped in and closed the door.
"Why are you here?" Li Lexuan blurted out with a strange expression.
Que Dongjin looked at Li Lexuan with a sneer on his face, "Who do you think you are?"
"I……"
"Tell me, who do you think it is?" Que Dongjin stared at Li Lexuan.
"I thought it was Lao Ji." Li Lexuan answered truthfully.
"Are you in a relationship with Lao Ji? I told you not to come here, why didn't you listen to me?"
"I have nowhere to go, Dongjin. Believe me, I'm a Japanese spy, but I haven't provided any intelligence. I've lost contact with the organization. I don't want to be a spy anymore. Can you let me go?" Li Lexuan's words were half-truths. The long period of no contact was because her boss, who was her only contact, was dead, but she didn't know this. Of course, she really wanted to live like this. She had seen the cruelty of Japanese soldiers and didn't want to be a weapon of massacre for the Japanese Empire.
Que Dongjin remained silent, looking at Li Lexuan, trying to determine the extent of her truth. He thought, while he was with her, she had indeed not passed on any information; otherwise, the training camp wouldn't have been so peaceful.
"Dongjin, I love you, I have always loved you. You and I were in the river, and you found out that I was a Japanese woman. If you could forgive me, I would follow you and would not help the Japanese Empire. I am willing to follow you and help you. But you didn't forgive me." Li Lexuan said as she wanted to lean her head on Que Dongjin. She knew that Que Dongjin was here to kill her, and she wanted to use her tenderness to save her life.
Que Dongjin moved his feet, dodged, looked at Li Lexuan and said, "Li Lexuan, I'll still call you by your Chinese name! Let me tell you, a person's greed will stimulate desires, and his desires will make him do many things he shouldn't do. Desires will trigger regrets, and then, regrets will accompany him forever! Do you understand what I mean? I already regret it!"
"Dongjin, you said you regretted being in the river with me...right?" Li Lexuan looked at Que Dongjin. She thought that when they were in the river, Que Dongjin's feelings for her might not be completely love. There was indeed desire mixed in it, and perhaps even hatred.
That’s right, Que Dongjin’s heart was very complicated at that time. There was love, desire, and the pleasure of revenge!
"You are right to understand it this way. I can't let desire control me! Li Lexuan, please follow me out!" Que Dongjin said.
"Dongjin, you want to kill me, why not here?" Li Lexuan said.
"I asked you to follow me out, will you go?"
"Let's go! It's worth it for me to die in your hands." Li Lexuan said and followed Que Dongjin out the door.
Li Lexuan knew that she could not do anything to Que Dongjin. Besides, she didn't want to go against Que Dongjin. She made the worst plan, which was to die at Que Dongjin's hands.
Que Dongjin didn't say anything else and took Li Lexuan to the grass in the woods. Li Lexuan saw that this grass was the place where she killed the radio operator Xiao Gao. She thought, is this my fate?
Que Dongjin stopped, looked at Li Lexuan, and said, "Sit down! I'll ask you a few questions."
"Dongjin, if you really want to kill me, let me lie in your arms when I die, okay?" Li Lexuan said as she sat down.
"Stop talking so sentimental! Let me ask you, why do you want to go back to the training camp? Do you want to lie low, wait for instructions from above, and steal important information?" Que Dongjin looked at his former lover, not knowing what to feel in his heart.
"Dongjin, believe me, it's not what you think. I really have nowhere else to go. I won't help Japan steal intelligence. I came here just to survive."
"Didn't I tell you that you will only die if you come here? I reported to Director Li Mengman that you are a Japanese spy. How did you deceive her?" Que Dongjin stared into Li Lexuan's eyes.
"I told her that I left you because I didn't want to leave the organization like you did. Your telegram was to alienate us and make me return to you. But I wanted to stay, Dongjin, you must believe that I have no ill intentions." Li Lexuan said.
"If you come back, you'll end up dead, you know that?"
"Dongjin, you still won't let me go? Well, just kill me! But let me lean on your shoulder. I really love you." Li Lexuan said as she tilted her head and leaned on Que Dongjin's shoulder.
Que Dongjin did not move, but he was very alert. He wanted to see if this female agent wanted to use her sex appeal to attack him. If so, he would kill her without mercy and make her die miserably.
Li Lexuan leaned on Que Dongjin's shoulder for a while, then moved away and said, "Dongjin, go ahead! I'll die without regrets."
Que Dongjin looked at Li Lexuan and said, "Li Lexuan, I'll give you one more chance. Leave the training camp immediately, don't bring anything back, and disappear from my sight forever. I'll give you a chance to survive, okay?"
"Dongjin, if you really give me a way to live, take me with you. I know I am not worthy of you, but I promise to be with you and not do anything that harms China. I will fight the Japanese with you, okay?" Li Lexuan said.
"Is this even possible? Not only do I find you uncomfortable, but Wang Xueliu and the others will also find you awkward. Just go!"
"If you don't want me, just let me stay in the training camp. Otherwise, just kill me!" Li Lexuan closed her eyes.
What exactly does Li Lexuan want to do? Does she think I can't bear to kill her and want to continue lurking? Or does she really want to help China and oppose the Japanese Empire? Que Dongjin really can't be sure.
"Li Lexuan, don't force me." Que Dongjin said.
"By the way, Dongjin, I forgot to tell you that Director Li Mengman has been transferred. Now Lao Ji is the director and I am the deputy director." Li Lexuan said.
"why is that?"
