The Bravest

When Lin Jie woke up, the first thing he saw was Ye Wulian sitting on a chair beside the hospital bed, with her upper body lying on the bed and asleep. Her brows were furrowed, and the worried expression on her face had not faded away.

After feeling his body, he found that his right hand and waist were in unbearable pain, but his thighs were still conscious and could move. Lin Jie was relieved. As long as he could feel it, he would be fine. It was just an external injury and would heal.

It should be late at night now. Lin Jie was mentally prepared for this attack, but he didn't expect the military control to be so cruel. They threw grenades at him. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have gone to see the King of Hell. He saw that he really had to hide for a while. Fortunately, the welfare home was on track. He just had to tell them. The special training camp had to be stopped. Let the selected twenty or so children have physical training with Liu Sheng first. Just treat it as laying the foundation. We will talk about it later. The Japanese don't care about these. What they want is publicity and face. Alas, it's already September. At this time, the European battlefield is not favorable. The French Concession and the International Settlement will not be settled for long. By then, the military control in Shanghai will have no place to hide, and life will be difficult. There were too many messy things in his mind. Lin Jie felt dizzy and fell asleep again.

In fact, Lin Jie's injury was not very serious. He was just in shock due to excessive blood loss. It was just that there were many wounds. After debridement, there would be no problem as long as there was no infection. The next day at noon, Teacher Liu came to visit Lin Jie on behalf of colleagues from the welfare home. Seeing that Lin Jie wanted to talk about work, Ye Wulian got up and went out. When she closed the door, she looked back at Teacher Liu and thought to herself, no wonder she ran to someone's house when something happened. It turned out that there was a vixen. Women sometimes have some very strange ideas.

Teacher Liu talked about the situation in the orphanage. Everything was normal, but everyone was a little worried that Lin Jie was injured and whether the funds behind the welfare home would be affected. After all, the funds were managed by Masao Okamura, and who else but Lin Jie dared to ask the Japanese for money?

"Teacher Liu, don't worry. I will be discharged in a few days. There will be no problem with funding. Just be careful when you go out. Tell the teachers and aunts to stay in the hospital for a while if possible. The people in the Military Control Commission are crazy. I will tell Liu Sheng to equip you teachers with guns. You have been studying for a week, so you should know how to use them."

"Oh, no, I don't dare to use it." Teacher Liu glanced at Lin Jie and found that he was looking at her with a smile, so he quickly changed the subject, "Well, oh, the dean, the aunts are all talking about how the dean is such a good person, but he was injured, and that the military control is blind and can't recognize people."

"Teacher Liu will emphasize to everyone that you should not say a word about the Military Control Commission or No. 76. It will bring you trouble. If you continue to say it, you will be expelled immediately once discovered. Don't let others get involved." After hearing what Teacher Liu said, Lin Jie's expression became very serious and he gave Teacher Liu a stern instruction.

“Hmph, the aunts are just concerned about you. They heard that you were injured and they feel sorry for you, so why are they saying such harsh words?” Teacher Liu was angered by Lin Jie’s tone and was a little annoyed. Logically speaking, Lin Jie was her superior and she should not have fought back like that. However, after working together for a while, she found that Lin Jie was usually very peaceful and she was used to the equal way of getting along with Lin.

She came to visit Lin Jie for a mission. The people in the welfare home knew that it was she who told the story of Lin Jie's accident. There was no way not to tell it. If she told the story, people would know that Lin Jie was in the hospital. If she didn't tell the story, Lin Jie would become missing, and the people in the welfare home would be confused. Her father told her to observe Lin Jie's character. She knew that the organization wanted to investigate Lin Jie. This was the usual practice of the organization. They tried their best to develop some people who were patriotic or who identified with the organization or even had a good impression of the organization to join the organization. When they accepted this mission, they got Lin Jie's detailed information, which was destroyed after reading it. They knew that Lin Jie had intentionally or unintentionally provided convenience for the people in the organization, and intentionally or unintentionally provided cover for the people in the organization. Although they didn't know who they were, since the organization recognized it, it really happened. Now her mission is to further verify Lin Jie's character and political inclinations.

"Teacher Liu, be serious. If the Japanese hear this, it could be fatal. Don't be fooled by the weak Japanese teacher. She has a Chinese name, but she is actually a Japanese. I didn't want to tell you, but if it gets out, it will be bad. Go back and tell your aunt secretly, tell them not to talk nonsense. Don't drag me into this. I will be killed by you instead of being beaten to death by the Military Control Commission." Lin Jie had to make the matter sound more serious, otherwise there would be more and more trouble in the future.

"Ah, that Teacher Sun is Japanese? By the way, Dean, why did you hide in our house yesterday? Aren't you afraid that I won't open the door for you? You, number 76, are still afraid. Do you have any secrets?" Teacher Liu sneaked up to Lin Jie and asked in a low voice.

"Why so many whys? It's just that we are close, otherwise all the blood would have flowed out. Hey, Teacher Liu, why did you get so close? Is it necessary to be so mysterious?" Ever since the Military Control Commission's indiscriminate assassination operations began, Lin Jie has been in a state of high alert. Now that the Military Control Commission has taken action against him, he has relaxed instead. The unknown is the most terrifying.

Because of the difference between Ye Wulian's military identity and Lin Jie's ideal, Lin Jie dared not think about what would happen after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. In addition, Ye Wulian's mental illness also made Lin Jie feel very depressed. Although both of them tried to create a relaxed atmosphere, it was not a normal life between husband and wife after all. So when talking to a young and beautiful colleague, Lin Jie's mentality was still very relaxed. Is there any man who doesn't like to talk to young and beautiful girls! In fact, there is no purpose, it's just that normal men will do this.

"Tsk, what do you mean by mysterious? You are the mysterious one. By the way, Dean, I want to ask you for a long time, does No. 76 really kill people every day? My dad is afraid that you will arrest me." Teacher Liu came closer, and their heads were almost touching.

To examine a person's true heart, you can only do so when he lets down his guard. The first step is to make an agent let down his guard and become someone he is familiar with. The second step is to become friends. Teacher Liu and Lin Jie are already very familiar with each other. When Lin Jie was injured, he thought of hiding in her house temporarily, which means that she can still trust him tomorrow. According to his father's judgment, Lin Jie doubted his identity and Tiezhu's three children. As a traitor, Lin Jie did not drive them away or arrest them, which has proved that his heart is still kind. He is different from other traitors.

Teacher Liu decided to go a step further and become friends with Lin Jie. Only true friends can talk about life, worries, ideals, etc. With these foundations, they can finally talk about politics. In this way, even if they cannot develop into comrades in the end, they will maintain a good relationship. So after Teacher Liu recognized Lin Jie's character, he first put himself in the role of a friend and spoke more casually. Since Lin Jie was leaning on the hospital bed, Teacher Liu involuntarily moved closer.

"Why would they take you back? You're just a kid, you're not from the Military Control Commission, and your family is poor. Why would they take you back as a concubine?" Lin Jie blurted out without thinking. After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong and immediately added, "Hey, don't let them take you back as a concubine. I mean you should stay away from those spies. Don't let them take you back as a concubine. I won't be able to save you then."

Lin Jie wanted to make amends, but Teacher Liu had already sat back in her chair, far away from him: "You are just a brat, you are just a concubine, you are a scumbag, you are a traitor, I will ignore you." Teacher Liu was so angry that her face turned red. "I'm leaving." After saying that, she stood up and walked out, thinking in her heart, "You touched my hand the first time, hugged me the second time, and now you want me to be your concubine. I just wanted to treat you as a friend, you scumbag, traitor, I will ignore you in the future." While thinking about it, she opened the door and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, she bumped into Ye Wulian who was about to knock on the door and come in. Teacher Liu saw that it was Ye Wulian, and didn't want to pay attention to her and just lowered her head and walked away.

"What's going on? What did you do to the girl? You look so angry."

Ye Wulian had actually been standing at the door for a while, but the voices inside were too quiet to hear clearly, so she thought about knocking on the door and coming in, but she heard Teacher Liu's voice getting louder behind her saying something like a hooligan or a traitor, and that she would never talk to him again, isn't this just acting like a spoiled child? At this time, the door opened, and the vixen blushed. "Humph, there must be something wrong with these two people." The tone of a person's speech sounds different to everyone.

"Hey, Wu Lian, stop talking nonsense. What did you do to the girl? I just told her to stay away from those spies and not to be captured as a concubine. She accused me of being a hooligan and a traitor and then ran away." Lin Jie could only quibble. What else could he do?

"Okay, you just tease me because I think I'm pretty. What happened last night?"

"I can't figure it out. There shouldn't be any omissions. Or maybe I've been watching for a long time and just waiting for it. I bumped into it myself. I didn't expect that I would have such a day."

"You'd better stay in No. 76 more often in the future. You were in the limelight a while ago, so you must have been targeted by people at that time."

After staying in the hospital for five days, Lin Jie was discharged and went home. Ye Wulian's instructor Lao Zhou sent a message asking him to hide in No. 76 for a while and to carry out the "Pledge of Allegiance" plan. The information has been given to Lin Jie.

"Liu Yang, it turned out to be him. I felt something was wrong at the time. I guess Zhang Wu had taken action in Chongqing, and Liu Yang would soon be exposed. What a useless excuse. Your Military Control Commission is very calculating. If it was him, who could do anything about it? After all, Liu Yang is still in the Intelligence Department, deputy director, and has no real power. I still have contact with him after I went back. Otherwise, it would be too deliberate." Lin Jie and Ye Wulian analyzed the issue of how to implement the plan. If this step is taken well, they will be much more stable in the future.

"The problem is, if he doesn't have any loopholes, there's nothing you can do. Are you going to frame him again? No, fake is fake after all. Last time it was an internal power struggle, and the Japanese didn't care about some loopholes and wouldn't investigate deeply. This time is different. Either you create an illusion of a power struggle, or you don't discover the clues by accident, but you specifically go looking for trouble with him in order to climb up." Ye Wulian is a veteran, and the method he came up with is not simple.

Lin Jie, who had taken refuge in Gangcun some time ago and became famous after setting up a welfare home, was targeted by the Military Control Commission and attacked and injured. He was so scared that he dared not go to work at the welfare home and hid back in No. 76 to work. Even when he walked around in No. 76, he had to be accompanied by two bodyguards and ran to Director Li Shiqun's office every day.

"Director, I won't go to the welfare home for the time being. I'll arrange Chen Kai to help me watch over there, so there shouldn't be any problem. I originally said that I would bury the people in No. 76 in Gang Village to cause trouble. I think we can start now. I've chosen a target, Liu Yang. Director, do you think he's suitable?"

"Why him? What's the reason? Tell me." Li Shiqun has always attached great importance to power and hated Masao Okamura to the core.

"Director, do you remember that Liu Yang came here because of Zhang Wu? We actually have no conclusion about Zhang Wu's assassination attempt, but Liu Yang explained it by saying it was an internal struggle within the Military Control Commission. I think this is a bit forced. I think we will know if there is any fruit until we get it. Anyway, we have to deal with him. Evidence is not important. It's good enough to plant a thorn in Gang Village."

"Then what reason do you have to deal with him? You are not from the inspection office. Don't offend everyone in No. 76. I won't be able to help you when the time comes."

"Director, I want to be the deputy director of the Intelligence Department, or even just Liu Yang's empty title." Lin Jie said to Li Shiqun with a thick face.

"Hahaha, you dare to say that. But that's a good reason. If you can take down Liu Yang, this position will be yours." Li Shiqun was amused by Lin Jie's shamelessness. No matter what he did, he would first consider his own interests, and everything else would be incidental. However, if a person didn't have a little greed, he, Li Shiqun, would not dare to use him. How could he talk about faith if he had become a traitor?

"Then Director, if you kick me out later, you will think that I came to you to ask for a position, but I didn't accomplish anything and couldn't make it out there, so I came back to beg for mercy. What do you think, Director? It will also show that you are not the kind of person who hires people for personal gain." Lin Jie was so evil that even Li Shiqun shook his head when he heard what he had in mind.

·······

"What do you mean by relatives? Why don't you remember your relatives in the welfare home's plan? You can't make it anymore, so you came back. Then work hard and make achievements. You were promoted to section chief a few days ago, but you want to be a deputy director. How come it was you who opened the No. 76 position, and I opened it. What? Liu Yang is a deputy director? He is a deputy director there, and you are nothing. Don't use my wife as an excuse. Get out, get out now."

When Li Shiqun came out from the inner room, he started cursing and opened the door to kick Lin Jie out.

In less than three days, word spread in Room 76 that the good-for-nothing Lin Jie couldn't make it out there, so he ran back to ask the director for a job and even brought his wife out with him. Director Li scolded him and kicked him out.

There were also rumors that Lin Jie was aiming for the position of deputy director of the Intelligence Department, and he was jealous of Liu Yang who was appointed deputy director right after he arrived. These rumors became more and more outrageous, saying that Lin Jie was a gigolo who relied on his wife to climb up the ladder and wanted to cheat on Director Li. The rumors even came out that the sisters wanted to do it together. Li Shiqun was really angry this time, and he called Lin Jie to criticize him and drove Ma Lao San, Lin Jie's confidant in the General Affairs Department, back to Lin Jie's side.

Now Lin Jie has become a synonym for a pretty boy in No. 76. Lin Jie is unwilling to give up as he didn't get his job, so he hides in that office all day with two bodyguards and his confidant Ma Lao San, closing the door and doing no one knows what. No one cares about him, after all, Lin Jie is still the director of the welfare home, and a document has been issued allowing him not to participate in the operation.

Lin Jie's office was changed to the Special Intelligence Investigation Office when Gangcun Zhengxiong was still planning to build the welfare home. It was originally the name of Gangcun's temporary office. When Gangcun left, Lin Jie persuaded Gangcun to keep the sign and merged the Special Intelligence Investigation Office, which originally belonged to the Military Police Headquarters, into the Intelligence Department of No. 76. In fact, it was just an empty shell. Now it was left to Lin Jie to sell mutton under a dog head. Every day, he went to the archives room to find a lot of information about Zhang Wu and Liu Yang for research.

Of course, these have been reported to Gangcun. Something happened in Chongqing. Although Zhang Wu has gained trust, no Chinese can gain absolute trust from the Japanese. So Gangcun is happy to see Lin Jie's investigation of Liu Yang. After all, it is not the Japanese who are investigating. It is a matter between Chinese people and has nothing to do with the Japanese. We Japanese trust people when we employ them, and we don't employ people if we don't trust them. Gangcun had already reported Lin Jie's affairs at No. 76. Some of the words were spread from Gangcun, such as those more erotic stories.
