Qin Huaiyun repeated the key points to Mu Yang, and only then did Mu Yang realize that this time's mishap couldn't be counted as their team's mistake. They were just unlucky, coincidentally bumping into someone who was caught and confessed, which led to their downfall. However, they had suffered a complete defeat; except for Qin Huaiyun, everyone else was dead.
"You're still lucky, at least you're alive. As long as you're alive, there's hope. But your mission is no longer worth considering." Murong Yang consoled.
"Because of this task, more than a dozen people have already died. Now it's just me left. Even if I report to the higher-ups, I estimate they won't send anyone else over, and now time is also running out." Qin Huaiyun said with low spirits.
"Yes, time is running out. In three days, that batch of antiques will be shipped out of the port and you'll have no more time." Murong said.
Qin Huaiyun raised his head and looked at Mu Yang: "How did you know that the antique would leave the port in three days? We've been investigating for a long time, but we didn't get any accurate information about that batch of antiques. How did you know?"
Hehe, "Who am I? Have you forgotten? I'm now a key protected person by the Japanese. Want to know these things? It's as easy as reaching out and grabbing them."
At this time, Qin Huaiyun adjusted his face and looked at Mu Yang solemnly, asking: "Who are you after all? Why do the Japanese hold you in such high esteem? How did you know these things? Why did you save me? And why come to Shanghai? Can you tell me?"
Mu Yang also became serious, furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before saying: "For now, I can only tell you that I am a Chinese person, a Chinese person with patriotic sentiments. I don't belong to any organization or political party, you can consider me a lone wanderer. As for why I came to Shanghai, I have my own matters to attend to, and these are things I cannot share with you."
"You once told me that your name was Mu Yang, the one who killed the chief of staff of the Japanese 27th Division in Tianjin. Is that you?" Qin Huaiyun asked.
"It's me." Mu Yang replied frankly, without anything to hide.
"In such a situation, how did you manage to kill Lieutenant General Kojuro in his quarters with so many Japanese officers outside?" Qin Huaiyun asked curiously.
"Hmm, it's a secret." Mu Yang said after being silent for half a day.
Qin Huaiyun said, "Here we go again. How do you have so many secrets? Ah, is it because of your disguise skills? If I didn't recognize your voice, I wouldn't be able to tell what you look like at all. How did you do it? Can you teach me?"
"This is also a secret, exclusive craftsmanship, and will never be passed on." Murong said with a smile.
Many people in Muyang have reservations about Qin Huaiyun, not because they are afraid that Qin Huaiyun will betray them, but because they feel it is unnecessary. If a matter is brought up, women's curiosity will prompt them to continue asking the next question, and at that time, there will be no secrets left unspoken.
A man who has no secrets in a woman's eyes will be greatly discounted. Mu Yang doesn't want that, his motto is "can't spoil women too much".
"Never mind about me, what are you going to do from now on? Are you still working as a secret agent for the Nationalist Party?" Mu Yang asked the woman.
"What else can be done?"
"Don't talk to me about dignity and sacrifice, you've already died twice, I think you've done enough for this country. Have you ever thought of living the life you want?" Mu Yang asked.
"The life I wanted, I once fantasized about it, but for me, that was just a luxury, something that could never be achieved." The woman said, bowing her head and burying her face in her curled up thighs.
"Why can't it be realized, the Japanese will not jump around for a few more days, and one day they will be beaten back home by us. Moreover, you are now facing an opportunity, an opportunity to get rid of all this."
"What chance?"
Qin Huaiyun turned her face sideways, looking at Mu Yang with a somewhat childish gaze. Mu Yang felt that at this moment, Qin Huaiyun had regained her feminine nature and was no longer the female special agent who thought about fighting and killing all day.
"Your entire team is dead, the mission is impossible to complete, you should leave now and go outside. The world will keep spinning regardless of who's here or not. Take this opportunity to go to a safe country and live the life you want." said Mu Yang.
He thought that anyway, Japan would surrender next year and then there would be a civil war. It's all going to be troublesome, so it's better to let Qin Huaiyun leave early and avoid experiencing those cruel trials. Who knows, maybe in the future she'll make the wrong choice and end up on the opposing side of the people, and get eliminated. That would be such a waste, especially after he had risked his life to save her twice.
"To a safe place? Now in this world, everywhere is at war, where is safe?"
"There are many safe places. At least Switzerland and Sweden are neutral countries, the war has not affected them at all. The United States is also possible, the war did not involve their mainland, it's still very safe." Murong said.
The woman shook her head and didn't answer.
"You'd better take a bath, look at you, you're all dirty." Murong said, looking at the woman's dirty clothes.
Qin Huaiyun herself frowned, now that her legs were better, she got out of bed quickly and ran into the bathroom. The door was closed with a "peng" sound, and the sound of locking the door could be heard, Mu Yang curled his lips.
First, I went to the living room and put all the tea leaves piled in a corner of the room into space. Then, I took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, and then took out sausage, bread, and a bag of roasted duck from space, and placed them on the table in the living room. There were no plates, so we had to make do with tea saucers.
Arrange things well, take a look and feel quite sumptuous, nodding in satisfaction.
The time it takes for a woman to take a bath is generally very long, and Mu Yang feels like he has read half a book by the time Qin Huaiyun comes out, wearing a white bathrobe with a towel wrapped around her head.
Muyang took a look and found that the woman's appearance after bathing and before makeup didn't change much, indicating that she wasn't the kind of person who would die in the light. Due to the hot water, her skin revealed a delicate red color, which was quite thought-provoking.
"Have you eaten dinner?"
"No. 76 hadn't even had time to eat his meal when you brought him here."
"Great, let's have some midnight snacks together."
He brought the woman over to the table and said, "Sausages, bread, roasted duck, red wine, and finally another glass of milk, unfortunately it's cold, what do you think?"
"You're really impressive, you're so full and prosperous."
The woman was really hungry and ate elegantly, but her movements were very fast, anyway faster than Mu Yang's.
"How did you train yourself to eat so elegantly and quickly at the same time? It's a very confusing feeling."
The woman looked up at Mu Yang and said, "If you can't do it this way, you'll go hungry, you'll be punished. I'm sure you'll practice it out."
"It seems you've been through a lot."
"This is just the simplest thing, you haven't seen the real bitter part yet." The woman said with a lot of feeling.
"Is there anything else? Physical training?"
"After being caught, you will be interrogated and tortured, subjected to all kinds of insults, flogging, and suffering, but you still can't speak. And when we were receiving training, the instructor's most frequently spoken sentence was: if discovered, it's better to choose to escape and risk death rather than being captured, because the consequences would be even more miserable, not as good as suicide."
"Have you thought about killing yourself today?" Mu Yang looked at the girl with some sympathy.
"It's not that I wanted to die, but rather I've already been executing it. I left myself the last bullet, only unfortunately, the last bullet jammed."
Mu Yang's heart still had lingering fear, he shook his head and said: "It could also be your good luck, if the bullet wasn't jammed, you'd already be dead."
The woman raised her head and looked deeply at Mu Yang, saying: "Yes, my good fortune, maybe the luckiest thing for me is meeting you."
