Chapter 135 The Moon of Yesteryear

Liu Yun took a big bite of his cornbread, feeling resentful. He didn't suspect Yan Lixuan, but he felt that Yan Lixuan was too unlucky. He had only helped out and then got dragged into it.

Of course, he still harbored some resentment towards Yan Lixuan. He felt that if Yan Lixuan hadn't asked him to fetch the incense ash, he wouldn't have gotten into this mess. Although nothing serious happened in the end, he still had to write a self-criticism. He regretted it, but he found it hard to refuse whenever someone asked him for help.

However, these are secondary. What Liu Yun fears more is Xie Ning's attitude. He is not a particularly talented student, but he is more diligent than most students. In addition, he has a good foundation, which is why he has climbed to the position of Xie Ning's assistant.

If all his hard work goes to waste because of this, he'll have nowhere to turn and cry.

Although one can dedicate oneself to the revolutionary cause and the anti-Japanese cause anywhere, it is ultimately different. By Xie Ning's side, he can not only learn more, but also receive better treatment. In the future, the places and positions he is assigned to will also be better.

When Liu Yun took a stack of documents to Xie Ning and was allowed to enter, a huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.

Xie Ning wasn't sure how accurate her judgment of people was, but after spending so much time together, she was about 70-80% accurate. That's why she immediately called the security department after noticing something unusual about Liu Yun. Since she could smell the incense on Liu Yun, it was highly likely that Liu Yun had gone to a temple.

Therefore, the security personnel stationed around the temple will definitely keep an eye on Liu Yun. When Liu Yun is arrested and interrogated, he might scare his already small courage out of control.

Only then did she communicate with Lu Yong. If the security department had seven points of suspicion about Liu Yun before the interrogation, Xie Ning only had three points. After all, Liu Yun was docile, sensible, timid, and a good-natured person. He also had his own little thoughts. He was imperfect and had flaws, but overall he was normal. She had also looked into his background and there were no major problems.

But fearing she might be mistaken, she harbored a sliver of doubt in her heart.

In the end, the security department did not find any results from the investigation, but only added Liu Yun and another person named Yan Lixuan to the surveillance list.

No, that student named Yan Lixuan should have been under the surveillance of the security department for a long time.

Unlike Liu Yun, Yan Lixuan was an ambitious young man who had come from the Kuomintang-controlled area with a delegation. Before leaving, he specifically requested to stay and "participate in the revolution."

Yan An naturally welcomed such an ambitious young man, but the necessary investigation was still required. So far, the security department had not found any problems with Yan Lixuan. Even with the "incense ash" incident, Yan Lixuan only insisted that he was feudal and superstitious, and then made a self-criticism. No one could do anything about it.

After all, Yan Lixuan did not make any other moves.

Seeing Lu Yong's furrowed brows, Xie Ning nodded to Xu He, letting him go out first, before saying to Lu Yong, "Don't we have hallucinogens? Although we can't completely trust the confessions obtained through hypnosis, and we can't easily use such methods, it's better to be safe than sorry. I think we should use extraordinary measures in extraordinary times, after all, safety is the most important thing."

Lu Yong relaxed. "I will report this to my superiors."

They used Lü Yueran, but not entirely, because they had to be careful when dealing with someone who had special skills and had been a spy.

Liu Yun was led into the study first, and only then did Lu Yong leave. Otherwise, he would have been frightened again. Of all the people who interrogated him, he was most afraid of Lu Yong, even though Lu Yong had only said two words from beginning to end.
