The Bravest

"Nanzō Yunko was hit by at least three bullets, and blood gushed out on the spot. She should not survive, that's for sure. Lin Jie and his woman happened to be there, and we originally wanted to kill them together, but they reacted too quickly. When we just shot Nanzō Yunko, he knocked down his woman, retreated back into the gate, and fired back, so we had to give up. We didn't have time to shoot Nanzō Yunko again." The gunman who returned to the base reported the situation to Zhang Wu.

"It's all thanks to the traitor Lin Jie. This woman showed up too suddenly. If Lin Jie hadn't happened to greet her at the door, we might have had to go inside to do it. Who knows how many Japanese are there?" added another gunman.

"That's great. You have done a great job by getting rid of the evil woman Nanzō Yunko this time. We will verify it tomorrow. If it is correct, I will directly ask Boss Dai for credit for you. Finally, Lin Jie doesn't have to worry about him anymore. We'll talk about it later when there is a chance." Zhang Wu was very excited.

"Everyone has worked hard. Go and have a good rest first. Remember, keep a low profile these few days and try not to go out unless necessary. The Japanese will definitely intensify their search."

"Okay, we'll remember that."

At the Military Police Headquarters, Kenji Doihara received the news and was surprised that his most proud disciple, the flower of the empire, Nanzō Yunko, could be assassinated so easily.

"Someone shot you in the back, and you had no defense at all?"

"Yes, sir. But there are still people at the scene, and they are firing again. We have brought them back for questioning."

"Oh, it's one of ours?"

"It was Lin Jie and his wife, Miss Kyoko. The guns at the scene have been checked. Miss Kyoko fired a total of six shots, emptying a magazine, and Lin Jie fired three shots. Their initial answer was that they met by chance and were talking at the door when the gunman suddenly rushed over from the opposite side and called Miss Yunzi's name in Japanese. When Miss Yunzi turned around, the gunman pulled out a gun and shot. Miss Yunzi and the bodyguard were shot and fell down. Lin Jie and Miss Kyoko retreated back into the door in time to fight back, and the gunman retreated afterwards. That's all for now. They are still trying to separate what happened and their itinerary for the past seven days."

The subordinate briefly reported the preliminary confessions of Lin Jie and Sun Yuelan.

"Let's do everything according to the procedure. However, if there are no suspicious points, just detain him for a few days. There is no need to make a fuss internally. We need to strengthen the external investigation." Doihara Kenji waved his hand and let his men go out.

Lin Jie was arranged by Gangcun to work in the concession, which Kenji Doihara knew. In addition, Sun Yuelan was by Lin Jie's side, so Kenji Doihara had no doubts about Lin Jie. It was just that Nanzō Yunko was one of the pawns he sent to infiltrate the financial high-level of the concession. Unexpectedly, she died at the beginning of the operation. It seems that the water in the concession is indeed deep enough.

Kenji Doihara attributed the death of Nanzō Yūko to a long-standing conspiracy by Chongqing or even Europeans and Americans, or to an assassination attempt against Japan's infiltration into the concession. He would never have imagined that the Military Intelligence Bureau did not actually link Nanzō Yūko's death to the Japanese struggle for control of the concession, and that it was just a simple assassination.

The next morning, the seriously injured Nanzō Yūko did not survive and died in the Japanese Army Hospital. This famous Japanese spy ended her sinful and legendary life.

Lin Jie and Sun Yuelan were still detained in the Military Police Headquarters. Fortunately, they were not abused because of Kenji Doihara's words. They were just repeatedly questioned about their schedules in the past few days. The Military Police tried to find loopholes in Lin Jie. Sun Yuelan was in the same situation. However, for professional agents like Lin Jie and Sun Yuelan, such questioning was just child's play. Besides, they also had plans and actions against Nanzō Yunko, so there was no loophole to speak of.

Finally, at night, Lin Jie and Sun Yuelan were released, and Gangcun personally escorted them out of the military police headquarters. "Lin San, don't blame the teacher, something really happened. Do you know who the woman was who greeted you last night? Nanzhao Yunzi, a senior in our industry, how did you get together with her? I tell you, my sister has married you, what else are you not satisfied with? Don't go out and flirt with other girls. The women who appear in those places in Shanghai are simple, so it's better not to flirt with them."

"Mr. Okamura, look at what you are talking about. Is there anyone like me who takes his wife out to have affairs? I met this Nanzō Yunko last time when I was saying hello to Smith from Citibank. Last night, I found that the security of the dance hall seemed to have been strengthened. I didn't want to cause any trouble, so I planned to go home early. Who knew that I would run into her at the door, so I stood there to say hello. In the end, I encountered such a bad luck. Three people rushed over and opened fire. Fortunately, we were close to the gate and hid inside. If I hadn't let you, you might have come to see me in the morgue."

"Why are you two talking so much nonsense? Go home quickly." Sun Yuelan grabbed Lin Jie and pulled him into Gangcun's car.

In silence, Gangcun left Lin Jie and Sun Yuelan at the door and left. After entering the house, the two women in the house surrounded Lin Jie and looked around. They were relieved when they found no signs of torture. But they pestered Lin Jie and asked what happened. Sun Yuelan, who was left alone, ran upstairs in anger.

Lin Jie finally calmed down his two wives. "You guys take a rest first, I'll go up to see Yue Lan, I don't know what she said in there yet." Ye Wulian and Haitang also knew that Lin Jie wanted to compare Sun Yue Lan's confession in the military police headquarters with his, to see if there were any loopholes. Although the Japanese had already released them, who knew if there were any omissions, or if the Japanese just didn't notice it for the time being, or if they had already noticed it but pretended not to know and were playing the long game to catch a bigger fish?

After comparing the two, Lin Jie did not find any problem with the answers of the two people in the Military Police Headquarters, so he relaxed. After washing up, Lin Jie was exhausted and ready to rest, but he found that Sun Yuelan did not move. She kept staring at him.

"What's the matter? Go take a shower and go to bed early. You've been busy for a whole day and night. Aren't you sleepy?" Lin Jie asked Sun Yuelan curiously.

"Lin Jie, tell me honestly, when did you get together with Nanzō Yunko? Aren't the three of us enough?" Sun Yuelan questioned Lin Jie with red eyes.

"Ah, what are you talking about? I'm with you guys every day, so when would I get involved with someone else? And how could you doubt her when she's so much older than me?" Lin Jie thought Sun Yuelan's sudden jealousy was a bit ridiculous.

"Humph, the instructor has said before that some men just like mature women, not to mention an expert like Nanzō Yunko who specializes in seducing men. Who knows when you will fall for her?"

"Really not, we only met once, and we haven't even exchanged more than three sentences. By the way, Yuelan, why are you so nervous when you see her? Your reaction last night was not right. Can you tell me about it?" Lin Jie was curious about Sun Yuelan's reaction. Logically, this shouldn't have happened.

"Nothing? I can feel that she is hostile to you, or wary of you, and you said that someone has been spying on your actions recently, so your reaction was a bit excessive." Sun Yuelan was also concerned about Lin Jie's safety, which was why she was so nervous.

"Then what do you think I have with her? Isn't this a contradiction?" Lin Jie laughed. How come a professional agent like Sun Yuelan would sometimes act like a little girl and have some strange thoughts popping up in her mind?

"Who knows if you have offended others, that's why they are so wary of you?" Sun Yuelan said this without any confidence. Maybe it was just the natural hostility that women have towards women who are better looking and more capable than themselves.

"Okay, stop thinking about it. It's impossible. Besides, this is not your style. You, Sun Yuelan, have always been full of confidence. With you around, your husband won't be seduced away so easily. Besides, I'm a small figure and no one will compete with you for him." Lin Jie had no choice but to coax her. No matter what Sun Yuelan's identity was before or now, in Lin Jie's eyes, Sun Yuelan was the wife he mentioned, and Lin Jie was confident that he could win her heart to himself.

"Humph, of course. With me here, no one can seduce you. If I had known you first, there would be no chance for Ye Wulian. Lin Jie, I'm warning you, if you dare to look for someone outside, I will kill one of them. Do you believe it?" Sun Yuelan did not say that she would kill Lin Jie, but she said that she would kill the women outside Lin Jie. It can be imagined how serious the Japanese chauvinism is. All the mistakes will not be attributed to men.

“Yuelan, why don’t you seduce me now and let me see it clearly, so that I won’t be fooled in the future.” Lin Jie said with a smile. Looking at Sun Yuelan’s cute jealous look like a lover in love, all his fatigue disappeared without a trace.

"Dean, I'm a teacher, how could I seduce someone?" Sun Yuelan said seriously, but her body was wrapped around Lin Jie like a snake, making Lin Jie's blood boil. It had only been a few days since the wedding, and it was time to savor the endless aftertaste. Lin Jie's hands began to be dishonest and explored Sun Yuelan's body. Seeing that the two were panting and about to meet each other frankly, Sun Yuelan pushed Lin Jie away at this critical moment.

"Hmph, have fun by yourself. I'm going to take a shower." After saying that, Sun Yuelan got up, took her clothes and went into the bathroom, leaving Lin Jie lying on the bed alone, muttering to himself, "Fairy."

Looking at the quiet bedroom, Lin Jie's restless heart calmed down. He closed his eyes and recalled the experience of last night. When he gradually fell into a daze, he heard a scream of "Ah" from the bathroom. Lin Jie was startled and rushed into the unlocked bathroom, but what appeared in front of Lin Jie was a sexy scene.

"Dean, my back itches and I can't reach it. Can you help me?" Sun Yuelan, naked, said to Lin Jie with her back to him. Lin Jie's Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, and he uttered the word "OK" with difficulty.
