Seeing Yuan Ye's expression of forgiveness, He Li also understood that Yuan Ye was a Chinese after all and did not want to offend the Japanese gendarmerie.

If he knew his true identity, perhaps he would not have said that.

Of course, I will never let this matter go easily.

However, Colonel Shirakawa of the gendarmerie rarely apologized to the Chinese. Would Shi Kaijun suspect that something was wrong?

He is so smart, will he doubt his true identity?

If he asked, how should I answer? Should I tell him my true identity? Or not?

Thinking of this, He Li felt a little confused. She didn’t know how Yuan Ye would react after knowing her true identity. Would he leave him because of this?

It is not impossible. After all, she is a Japanese, and the eldest daughter of one of Japan's top nobles. What would Shi Kaijun think?

She also didn't know what Shi Kaijun really thought of the Japanese. Did he like the Japanese or did he hate the Japanese?

She knew that the vast majority of Chinese people hated the Japanese because the Japanese had done so many evil things in China. This was something she gradually learned and also something she had experienced personally.

This also shattered her dream of a paradise under imperial rule. The Japanese coming to China only brought great disaster to the Chinese.

She knew that Shi Kaijun was cooperating with the Japanese on the surface. This might be a necessity for survival, but it did not mean that he liked the Japanese. Maybe he hated the Japanese in his heart.

If Yuan Ye alienated her and left her because of this, this was something she didn't want to see. Just now, Yuan Ye stood up for her regardless of his personal safety, which moved her again. She felt that she could no longer live without him. Losing this beloved man was a pain she could not bear.

She must not let this happen. She hoped that Shi Kaijun would not ask about it. She was not ready yet.

After listening to Yuan Ye's statement, Shirakawa Yoshio nodded and said:

"Thank you so much!"

Although he said this, he knew that this matter would not be let go so easily. When he saw He Li's cold gaze behind Yuan Ye, he understood.

This disaster was caused by his subordinates, so he had to discuss it with Takemiya Yoshio and find a time to sincerely apologize to He Li in private in order to seek her forgiveness. He knew that if he had offended the Tokugawa family, his life would not be easy and his future promotions might be affected.

As for Seya, he must be punished. As long as He Li is happy, any punishment is fine. He can only blame himself for being unlucky. Who made him offend the eldest daughter of a top aristocratic family?

Masako Nanyun also witnessed all of this. When she saw Yuan Ye step forward and protect He Li regardless of his own safety, she looked at Yuan Ye with a new respect, and felt a little admiration for him, but also became more worried.

Who could resist such a real man?

If you ask yourself, you might also fall in love with a man like this!

He Li is no exception.

It's a pity that he is a Chinese. Although this Chinese man is very outstanding, she doesn't want to see He Li fall in love with this Chinese man.

But what happened tonight might be a good thing. Will Yuan Ye become suspicious of He Li's identity? This is possible. Colonel Shirakawa's apology was very unusual.

But maybe I am too suspicious. After all, I know He Li's identity and I think so. Maybe others may not think of it.

But no matter what, He Li is no longer suitable to stay in the city government. I believe Section Chief Takemiya would also think so. If I tell the section chief to transfer He Li back to the Special High Section, he will probably agree.

This is for He Li's safety, and He Li should have no reason to refuse.

After what happened just now, Yuan Ye knew that He Li would not want to stay here any longer, so he said:

"Lili, you are tired too. Let me take you home."

Indeed, He Li was frightened and no longer in the mood to dance. She nodded and said:

"Okay, let's go."

Chai Ruhai on the side said quickly:

"Shi Kai, I don't want to stay here anymore. I'll drive you guys."

Li Qunshi personally escorted Yuan Ye and the other two to the door of No. 76 and said to Yuan Ye:

"I feel really bad about the poor hospitality today and some unexpected incidents.

In two days, when the special commissioner comes to inspect our work, I will treat you well and apologize to you."

Li Qunshi also realized tonight that Yuan Ye must be no simple person. Even Colonel Shirakawa of the gendarmerie apologized to him, which was very telling. This person must not be offended.

Yuan Ye smiled and said:

"Director Li, you are too polite. This has nothing to do with you tonight. Don't take it to heart. I will bother you again another day.

Farewell, Director Li, please stay."

Li Qunshi watched Yuan Ye and the other two get into the car and leave, and sighed in his heart. This was the first time the special envoy came to his house today. He hoped that what happened tonight would not make him hold a grudge against the secret service headquarters. After all, he was the landlord, and this unpleasant incident happened in No. 76, so he was also responsible.

But what else could he do? He couldn't afford to offend the Japanese if they acted recklessly.

Yuan Ye sent He Li to the door of the villa and watched her enter the yard before turning around and leaving.

He Li entered the yard and just as she reached the door of the villa, Li Hao came out to greet her and said respectfully:

"Miss, you are back. I have already done what you asked me to do. I bought back the cursive calligraphy of Li Shangyin's Untitled."
