The Bravest

In the office of Gangcun, the military police commander, Lin Jie began to tell Gangcun about his difficulties.

"Mr. Gangcun, I am very welcome to take care of Miss Yuelan, but I am afraid that Miss Yuelan will be wronged. You see, I have my own married life, so I may be more casual in my daily life. For example, we may wear cooler clothes and be more passionate when we are not paying attention. You know, how bad it would be if Yuelan ran into this?" Lin Jie did not mention that the house was too small, but was concerned about whether Miss Yuelan would get used to it. "Also, Mr. Gangcun, there is only one bathroom upstairs, which is not convenient when taking a shower. What if the door is not closed properly and pushed open by hand, what do you think..."

"Okay, Mr. Lin, just say that your house is too small and can't accommodate one more person. What are you talking about? Besides, are you cured of your illness? Why are you making so many fuss?" Masao Okamura was also confused by Lin Jie and started to expose Lin Jie's shortcomings.

Lin Jie's chance had come, and he immediately pretended to be angry but aggrieved, lowering his head and saying nothing. "Hmph, Gangcun, you want my help now and you're exposing my shortcomings. You should get some compensation, right?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, what I meant is that Yuelan is marrying and living with you, so you shouldn't treat her as a guest. Just do as you please. There's nothing embarrassing about it. Besides, what I said is right. Your married life should be very peaceful now. It would be more lively if there's one more person living there, which will be good for your condition." Although Masao Gangmura is known as a child of a big family, he is actually from an ordinary family. He would rather spend every penny in two, so how could he give in so easily?

Lin Jie saw that he was such a stingy person, and he wanted me to support him without spending a penny. This was not my style. If one way didn't work, I would try another way. "Mr. Gangcun, first of all, you have to consider that I will be well by that day. If I accidentally make a mistake that all men would make, I will be sorry for you. Secondly, Miss Yuelan will have to hold a wedding banquet when she marries me, which will definitely attract the attention of the Military Control Commission. I am not safe anywhere, so I have to find a safer place to live. What do you think, Mr. Gangcun?"

Masao Gangcun had never thought about this question. After thinking about it for a while, he thought that what Lin Jie said made sense, so he had to make concessions: "Mr. Lin, after all this time, you just want me to give you a little dowry. No problem, I'll find a better house. Can your wife handle it? Otherwise, I'll go and talk to her."

"Gangcun, it would be better if we all make an appointment to discuss it together. This matter came too suddenly, and my wife may not be able to accept it for a while. Although we dare not refuse Gangcun's arrangement, we still have to live together in the future. Discuss it in advance so that we can get along in the future, right?" Lin Jie knew that he could not refuse, but he still had to delay for a while and let Ye Wulian accept an outsider woman to insert into his family life. In addition, Lin Jie did not know whether Ye Wulian had any shady secrets? After all, Ye Wulian was a special agent of the Military Control Commission. If there was any, he had to move or hide it in advance.

After some bargaining, the two reached a deal. Miss Yuelan married Lin Jie, Gangcun funded a western-style building with a small garden as a dowry, and Lin Jie had to ensure Sun Yuelan's safety and a happy life. As for the time of marriage, it was still up to both parties to negotiate. Lin Jie still wanted to see when the small western-style building was in place, and this principle could not be changed.

This principle of Lin Jie is also the source of Masao Gangcun's trust in Lin Jie. If a person has nothing to ask for, then he is uncontrollable. In less than an hour, Lin Jie had a new fiancée. Sun Yuelan, a Japanese teacher at the welfare home.

Before Lin Jie said goodbye and left, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Mr. Gangcun, what if my wife doesn't agree?" Holding on to the hope that there might be a chance, Lin Jie asked a stupid question.

"Hehe, if Mr. Lin is divorced or widowed, I think Mr. Lin wouldn't need to ask for other people's opinions, right?" Masao Okamura smiled sinisterly.

"It's just a joke, Mr. Gangcun misunderstood. What I meant was, what if Miss Yuelan and I have been together for a long time and have developed feelings for each other?" Lin Jie had to talk nonsense to avoid the stupid idea.

"I have no problem with this. As long as Yue Lan is willing, it's Lin Sang's ability."

······

When he got home in the afternoon, Lin Jie didn't mention what happened in the military police headquarters in the morning, and accompanied Ye Wulian to the welfare home to see the children. It was just because of the drama in the morning that Lin Jie found that Teacher Sun Yuelan always looked at him with a smile, and became so cute. It was no longer as official as before. Did Sun Yuelan bring up this matter herself? When did she fall in love with me? Lin Jie thought a little self-indulgently.

Lin Jie found an excuse to let Ye Wulian play with the child, and he had something to deal with, then called Sun Yuelan into the office. "Teacher Sun, is Major Gangcun your brother? And what's the matter with us getting married?"

"Ah, Dean, don't talk nonsense. When are we going to get married? If you do this again, I will call someone." Sun Yuelan's frightened look scared Lin Jie. Something was wrong. Could it be that Masao Okamura hasn't told her yet? It would be better to ask clearly.

"Teacher Sun, this is what happened. Today, Major Gangcun told me that he wanted to marry you to me. Do you know about this?" Lin Jie asked, looking into Sun Yuelan's eyes.

"Oh, that's impossible. You're already married, who would marry you? If you want to marry a concubine, go find Teacher Liu. She likes you and might agree. Hehe." Sun Yuelan's expression was clearly mocking Lin Jie. But Lin Jie felt that her eyes were teasing. It turned out that there was no honest person in this line of work, especially women. None of them spoke the truth.

"Oh, I misunderstood. It's okay. Teacher Sun, you can go back first." Lin Jie wanted to send Sun Yuelan away. Unexpectedly, the little girl got excited. She stood up and leaned forward on the desk, staring at Lin Jie across the desk: "Dean, do you like me?" After saying that, she turned around and left without even closing the door. There was also cheerful laughter coming from outside.

Damn it, they’ve been fooled. Lin Jie realized that he and his wife were actually being controlled by the two siblings. There was no room for resistance unless they left Shanghai.

······

At home at night, it was time to rest, but Lin Jie hadn't figured out how to tell Ye Wulian about this. It was really too unbelievable. In broad daylight, someone would ask if you wanted a wife? If not, it wouldn't work. What should I do? "

Lin Jie hugged Ye Wulian from behind, but he was thinking about another woman and couldn't fall asleep. How could he hide this from Ye Wulian, who had been sleeping with him for almost a year?

"What's the matter? Just tell me if you have something to say. I felt like you were acting weird this morning and afternoon. Do you have something to say to me?" Ye Wulian sat up and looked at Lin Jie with a worried look on her face.

Seeing this, Lin Jie knew that if he didn't say it today, there was no other way, so he sat up, took a deep breath, and organized his words: "Wulian, I have something to discuss with you. Gangcun came to me today and told me about this matter. He wants to send the Japanese teacher in the welfare home, Ms. Sun Yuelan, whom you have met, to live in our house. That's it. You decide how to solve it." Lin Jie decided to take it step by step so that Wulian could be mentally prepared.

When Ye Wulian heard this, she knew that Lin Jie had not gotten to the point, so she simply did not let Lin Jie beat around the bush. "Xiao Jie, just say what you want to say. Do you want to marry that teacher Sun?"

"It's not me who wants to marry, it's Gangcun who wants me to marry her. No, it's Gangcun who wants me to marry her sister, Teacher Sun. It's fake, don't worry, Wulian, it's fake." Ye Wulian's directness disrupted Lin Jie's rhythm, and he was a little flustered for a moment.

"Xiao Jie, I don't blame you. It's my own fault. It's been a year, and I still haven't accepted you. I know you're upset. It would be nice if you have someone to accompany you in the future." Ye Wulian was mentally prepared. It was not easy for a man of this generation to tolerate a woman like her for a year before asking to marry her. "But Xiao Jie, why not Teacher Liu?" This was beyond Ye Wulian's expectation. She had always thought that Lin Jie and Teacher Liu might have been together outside.

"Wulian, listen to me, is this true or not? Didn't I tell you before that this Teacher Sun was sent by the Japanese to monitor me? How could I be involved with her? Don't say anything yet, just listen to me." Lin Jie was afraid that Ye Wulian would interrupt him, so he greeted him in advance, otherwise the more he talked, the more confusing it would be.

"Gangcun explained it clearly today. Sun Yuelan has been monitoring me for almost a year and has not found any problems. Then Gangcun may end his monitoring of me. In this case, Teacher Sun may be sent to another place. This is similar to the Military Control Commission. Gangcun does not want his sister who grew up with him to be sent out, so he came up with this idea and reported it to the Military Police Headquarters. That's about it."

"Then why did they choose you? There are not many young, unmarried traitors, but they chose you. Is it because that teacher Sun likes you?" After understanding what happened, Ye Wulian, who was relieved, began to feel jealous. She stretched out her hand and twisted Lin Jie's waist, causing Lin Jie to gasp in pain.

"Oh, it hurts. It's all your fault. Who told you to tell Mei Zi about my plan so quickly? We need to take our time. Now, Gangcun thinks it's best to find me, an incompetent man, to be a shield for his sister. First, you can continue to monitor me and report to the gendarmerie headquarters. Secondly, since I'm incompetent, I won't do anything to his sister. Now, you help me find a little wife." Lin Jie was helpless. It was embarrassing enough to spread the word that people thought he was impotent. Now he had to cause such trouble. It was really a headache.

"Are you very happy? You can marry a wife again, and you have to pretend to be helpless. Hum, I will ask her to serve me as her elder sister in the future, hehe." Ye Wulian heard this reason and smiled and lay in Lin Jie's arms. After a while, she raised her head and whispered in Lin Jie's ear: "Xiao Jie, why don't you make it real for him, so that Teacher Sun will be one of your own, what do you think?"

Knowing that Ye Wulian would only joke when she was happy, Lin Jie also relaxed: "I dare not. According to Gangcun, Teacher Sun is a seventh-degree black belt in karate and I can't beat him. You have to be careful too, don't let her become your sister and you have to serve her. Haha."

"Xiao Jie, our military has a medicine that will make her active. If you want it, I heard it works very well." Ye Wulian whispered something mysteriously in Lin Jie's ear that made Lin Jie's heart beat. But Lin Jie would never admit it. If this woman gets bad, it's really hard to guard against. It seems that it's better to have more Wulian.

"Ahem, no need for that. How could a gentleman like me resort to such despicable means? It's too late. Let's go to bed and discuss it tomorrow."

"Xiao Jie, you really don't want it. I will throw it away tomorrow. There is only one pack. What a pity." Ye Wulian really had this medicine, which she prepared for herself. She was worried that one day when Lin Jie couldn't bear it anymore, he would take this medicine. When Lin Jie heard this, he said, "Then keep it for now. Don't waste it. Ah, it hurts. Don't twist it. Wrong, wrong, just do as you say."

"Humph, you really want to use it, shameless! If you want to take advantage of someone's body, you can just go after her yourself. You even want to use drugs to harm others. Really, did you learn these dirty tricks from someone after being in No. 76 for so long? I warn you, don't mess around, or I'll cut you off." Ye Wulian's aggressive look was quite pretty. Lin Jie wanted to do it, but he held back, muttering softly, "You said you wanted to use it yourself."

"Humph, you just agreed to it, but you didn't even come back to discuss it with me."

"Well, there is no room for negotiation. I asked tentatively, and Gangcun said, Mr. Lin, he is either divorced or widowed, so there is no need to go home to discuss it. Do you think I can refuse it?" Lin Jie was also helpless.

"Okay, stop pretending. With your personality, you're not that easy to get rid of. What do you mean by dowry?" Ye Wulian knew Lin Jie very well.

"Hey, not much, just a small western-style building with a garden. Wulian, we are going to live in a big house. Isn't that great?" Lin Jie became excited when he talked about this, and began to brag vividly, from the beginning to the end, bragging about himself as a hero who endured humiliation for the sake of the overall situation and then tore off a large piece of fat from the enemy. Ye Wulian listened quietly, she just liked Lin Jie's true appearance. ...

After a long time, the two finally felt sleepy. After turning off the lights, they hugged each other as usual, but tonight Ye Wulian could clearly feel the changes in Lin Jie's body, and his body temperature was as hot as a fever. After a long time, the two slowly fell asleep.

Time passed unknowingly until June 1941. Although the bloody incident caused by the Central Reserve Bank's notes had long passed, the struggle between the Military Control Commission and No. had never stopped. It was just that these were bloody fights between Chinese and Chinese, while the Japanese hid aside and watched the excitement. So the head of the Military Control Commission, Dai, changed his strategy and ordered an indiscriminate assassination of the Japanese. Anyone wearing a Japanese military uniform, regardless of their position, was listed as a target of the operation. For a time, Japanese soldiers were attacked by the Military Control Commission almost every day, with heavy casualties. Now many Japanese dared not go out alone.

As a result, Lin Jie was able to postpone his marriage with Sun Yuelan, and all of this has not been made public.
