Chapter 331 Four Traitors

Yu Li nodded slightly and said, "Thank you very much, Commander Du."

Watanabe Daichi also made a gesture of invitation and turned to leave. His Japanese plainclothes men were not used to Chinese food and did not dine with the four traitors; they usually ate separately.

At this moment, only four people remained in the room. As they watched the Japanese leave, the slight tension they had felt eased.

Yan Kai slowed down and took two steps, wanting to sit down in a chair. However, he had been severely tortured and his leg injury had not fully healed in the past few days. He accidentally stumbled, and Qi Jingwu, who was beside him, quickly caught him.

However, Yan Kaiding shook off Qi Jingwu's hand, took another step forward, sat down in his seat, his face gloomy, and didn't say a word.

Yu Li's face darkened as he watched the scene. He knew that although these three men could not withstand the Japanese torture and eventually surrendered and betrayed the country under the threat of death, the feeling of being a traitor was certainly not pleasant. Betraying one's country and nation and going against the beliefs one had upheld since childhood was not an easy process. He himself had struggled for a long time before bowing his head in the face of life and death and ultimately becoming a traitor.

He didn't want to say much. He just sat down, picked up his wine glass, poured himself a drink, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Yan Kai stared at Yu Li with hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour the bastard.

Yu Li didn't look up, but slowly said, "Don't blame me. You've experienced the Japanese torture before, and you didn't survive it yourself. Do you really want to be riddled with bullets like Gong Ping? It's better to live a miserable life than to die. If you don't have the courage to commit suicide, don't complain about heaven and earth! It's been several days already. Haven't you given up yet? The Japanese are right outside. You can go and fight them to the death!"

Yu Li's words pierced the hearts of the other three like knives, and like an inflated balloon deflated, they were all speechless. None of the three had made it through the final hurdle. If they had had the courage to end their lives, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

"The intelligence unit's assassination squad has probably already set off and is secretly watching us! Oh well, let's just take it one day at a time!" Xing Shengrong found a seat and sat down. He looked dejected but helpless. "I just don't know if my family in Nanchang will be implicated. I'm afraid the intelligence unit won't let them off the hook. Sigh, I can't worry about anything else now! I'll just have to take it one step at a time!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, then said nothing more.

The other two remained silent, sitting quietly in their seats. After a moment of silence, they picked up their chopsticks and began to eat.

Meanwhile, in a room next to them, Watanabe Daichi, who had been listening to their conversations and actions, finally put down his listening earpiece and said to his assistant with a cold smile, "These Chinese have no backbone at all. They've already obediently bowed their heads. Dealing with them is to make them realize the current situation and serve us wholeheartedly!"

His assistant, Tomoyuki Ishiyama, also laughed and said, "People are inherently lazy. Over time, they will gradually get used to and accept their current identities. Besides, they know there's no going back! Even if we let them out now, they'll soon be shot by Chinese agents and die anyway!"

He then asked, "Mr. Watanabe has been lurking in China for so many years, you really understand their mentality very well, you truly are a China expert!"

Watanabe Daiji was also slightly taken aback. Although Ishiyama Tomoyuki's words did contain a hint of flattery, he did not want to talk about his undercover experience, nor did he want to boast about this history. In his heart, it was not a pleasant memory.

Watanabe Daichi smiled faintly and said, "In the future, give them opportunities to be alone, monitor their conversations, and keep track of their true thoughts. This will help us utilize them. Team Leader Imai values ​​these Chinese people highly, and they will still be useful in the future!"

Tomoyuki Ishiyama nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Watanabe-kun, I will monitor them at all times."
