Chapter 70 Entering the City
dusk.
The sunset glow on the horizon is in succession, layer upon layer, creating a spectacular picture.
The red light of the sunset shines on the ancient city gate, emitting a holy glow.
There was a squad of puppet soldiers at the city gate, checking passers-by.
A thin man was leaving the city with a few packets of herbs in his hands, but was stopped by a puppet soldier.
"Stop, what's that in your hand?"
The thin man said cautiously: "Boss, this is herbal medicine. It's for my mother's treatment."
The puppet soldier was of medium build, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth. He said sternly, "Nonsense! This is clearly for treating the wounds of anti-Japanese elements. You want to deceive me? No way! Brothers, take him away."
"Boss, I am innocent."
The thin man kept arguing, but was still forcibly dragged away by two puppet soldiers.
At this time, Song Yun's Chevrolet slowly drove over.
The Huang Ya puppet soldier recognized the car and quickly took two steps forward, standing next to the car window, acting arrogantly and respectfully with a fawning smile on his face.
"Miss, you're back so soon. I thought you were staying at your uncle's house for the night."
Song Yun poked her head out and frowned, "It's so chaotic outside, I won't stay here. Didn't you hear the gunfire outside the west gate last night?"
The yellow-toothed puppet soldier nodded and bowed : "Miss is right, look at my memory, hey, you have friends in the car."
Song Yun said calmly: "Yes, what? Do you still want to check them?"
The Yellow Teeth puppet soldier chuckled and said, "That's impossible, Miss, please do as you please."
Song Yun didn't waste any words and slowly started the car.
The Yellow Teeth puppet soldier shouted, "The young lady is coming, everyone get out of the way."
Entering the city was so easy, Chen Wei was relieved, but at the same time she was full of questions, who was this Song Yun? Even the puppet soldiers guarding the gate were respectful to her.
Liu Zhengfeng was not disturbed at all. He guessed that Song Yun's family was either rich or noble. In this turbulent era, there were many young people like Song Yun who were impacted by new ideas. Although she was restricted by her background, she was eager to integrate into this era.
The current trend of the times is to resist Japan and save the country. It is obvious that Song Yun is eager to do something for the fight.
Song Yun's Chevrolet had just passed the city gate when a handsome young man suddenly came out from the side. He was wearing the uniform of a puppet army officer. He saw Song Yun at a glance, was slightly stunned, and then quickened his pace and walked over.
"Xiao Yun, why are you here? Stop for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Song Yun's face changed drastically. She stepped on the accelerator to get rid of the puppet army officer, but there were too many pedestrians in front of her, so she honked the horn in a hurry.
Seeing this, Liu Zhengfeng
"Miss Song, who is this person?"
Song Yun drove the car in a panic, saying, "It's my brother. I don't want him to know about my affairs."
Chen Wei suddenly became nervous. No wonder Song Yun could enter and leave the city gate freely . It turned out that her brother was an officer of the puppet army. She couldn't help but doubt Song Yun's motive and purpose for bringing her into the city.
Liu Zhengfeng saw that Chen Wei looked at Song Yun with a bit of hostility, and even reached for the gun, so he quickly stopped her. He knew that in this turbulent and magnificent era, there were many families with different political views. Song Yun's brother was a traitor, but she might not be, and she might even be the opposite.
"Xiaoyun, wait for me..."
Brother Song Yun chased and shouted.
Song Yun's face was tense, and she tried her best to get rid of her brother, but there were too many pedestrians on the road and the car was not driving fast enough, which made her so angry that she honked the horn frantically.
"Song Sang, why are you chasing that car? Is it an enemy?"
Suddenly, a Japanese officer and two Japanese soldiers rushed over. The officer took out a pistol and asked Song Yun's brother.
Brother Song Yun was startled and quickly shook his head.
"No, no, no, Fukuda-sama, we are not enemies, don't shoot, my sister is in the car, and we had a quarrel."
The Japanese officer's expression suddenly relaxed. He put away his pistol and left with the two Japanese soldiers.
After just a short delay, Song Yun had already gone far away. Song Yun's brother shook his head, sighed softly, and turned away.
Chen Wei saw Song Yun’s brother talking with a Japanese military officer. She became more and more confused. Her brother was a traitor, but her sister helped her. What was going on?
Seeing that her brother was no longer chasing her, Song Yun let out a long sigh and patted her chest with her hand.
"I'm so scared, why is he here?"
Liu Zhengfeng said calmly: "Ms. Song, thank you for taking us into the city. Please stop and let us get off here."
Song Yun was stunned and asked, "Why? Do you have any urgent matters? Your business will not be completed in a short time, right? Do you have a place to stay?"
Faced with Song Yun's rapid-fire questions, Liu Zhengfeng and Chen Wei looked at each other in bewilderment.
Chen Wei said calmly: "That's our own business, just let us go."
Song Yun was very smart. Just by looking at Chen Wei's expression, she knew what was going on.
"Do you think I will sell you to the Japanese?"
Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "That's not the case, Miss Song, you misunderstood."
Song Yun said coldly: "I didn't misunderstand, that's what you think."
Liu Zhengfeng could tell that her words sounded a little angry and sullen, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Song Yun continued driving with no intention of stopping. Suddenly, she sighed deeply, her face looked sad, her eyes were red, and she actually shed tears.
"Yes, that's right. My father is the vice president of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, and my brother is the head of the Suzhou Security Corps. They all made their livings under the Japanese. My family is a family of traitors."
"But so what? They are traitors, and I am not a traitor. Why do you look down on me?"
She spoke these words at the top of her lungs, and was on the verge of collapse.
Chen Wei frowned. Deep down, she didn't believe Song Yun. Song Yun's family environment was too complicated. She didn't dare to believe that Song Yun could remain untainted.
Liu Zhengfeng chose to believe Song Yun. Because he believed in her, he wanted to get off the car, because what he was about to do was very dangerous and if he was not careful he would implicate her.
"Ms. Song, calm down. I believe you and will never look down on you. We just don't want to get you into trouble."
Song Yun felt a little better and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I'm not afraid. Death is death. It's no big deal."
What a stubborn child! Liu Zhengfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Ms. Song, you think the problem is too simple. If we implicate you, then your parents and your brothers and sisters will also be implicated, so I hope you will think twice before acting."
Song Yun couldn't help but be stunned, and sighed softly after a long time.
"I used to live a very happy life. My parents and brother loved me very much and I lived a rich life. But everything changed when this Japanese came."
"Although my parents and brother still dote on me, I feel bad inside. I always feel like someone is scolding me and stabbing me in the back. I even feel like even the servants in my house look down on me."
