Brother Long nodded. "More than a dozen, all locked up separately. I'm only responsible for four of them, and others will take care of the rest."
"Do you know where these people are being held?"
Brother Long nodded. "Zhiyu, why are you asking this? You don't want to rescue all these beggars, do you?"
Song Yun asked, "No?"
Long Ge said, "Are you really not afraid of Mr. Yamamoto?"
"Don't be afraid. They're just little devils. What's there to be afraid of?" Song Yun said calmly.
No matter how dumb Brother Long was, he figured it out by now. He stared at Song Yun and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"I am Chinese, and these beggars are Chinese too. Yet, you, a Chinese, are helping the Japanese to harm our compatriots. How is your behavior any different from that of those traitors and running dogs?"
Long Ge immediately retorted, "The fact that they are now like this has nothing to do with me. I was just running errands. Besides, I don't know who these beggars are or why Mr. Yamamoto is targeting them."
"Targeted?" Song Yun asked.
Long Ge nodded. "Yes, Mr. Yamamoto said we must not let them die. We must make them suffer all the hardships in the world, and make their lives more painful than death. But even though he said that, I didn't do anything. At most, I dragged them out every day and pushed them into the crowd to extort money."
"Mr. Yamamoto, are you from Hong Kong City?" Song Yun asked coldly.
"Well, he's been staying in a temple on Longhua Mountain these days. He said he's going to perform a ritual for his deceased wife and will be back in the city tomorrow."
Song Yun stared into Long Ge's eyes and asked, "Are you sure it's true?"
Brother Long raised his uninjured hand and said, "If I tell a lie in one word, let me be struck by lightning."
"Tuo, I need you to lead the way for me. I'm going to Longhua Mountain."
Brother Long was dumbfounded. "What did you say? You want to go to Longhua Mountain? Why?"
"I have always hated evil. This Yamamoto devil doesn't treat us Chinese as human beings. I can't swallow this anger. I must get rid of this anger before I can move on."
Long Ge's legs began to tremble. "What do you want to do?"
"I want Yamamoto dead." Seeing Long Ge's miserable face, Song Yun continued, "If Yamamoto doesn't die, and you don't accomplish this today, will you go back with nothing?"
Brother Long shuddered when he thought of Mr. Yamamoto's methods.
"It looks like there will be some punishment. Maybe even your life will be lost, right? After all, in the eyes of the Japanese, the lives of us Chinese are not really lives, are they?"
Brother Long's face became even uglier.
He saw with his own eyes that brother being dragged out from Mr. Yamamoto's place, bleeding all the way, and died with his eyes open.
Hasn't he seen enough of this kind of thing?
But once he got on Yamamoto's boat, it was not so easy for him to get off. If he wanted to survive, he had to work harder, try not to make mistakes, and make sure to satisfy Mr. Yamamoto.
"But if I kill Yamamoto, will you no longer be punished? Will you be free from now on?" Song Yun coaxed.
