"Sir, could you please let me sit down? I'm exhausted from running all the way from the inn. I hope you can understand!"
She nodded slightly to the man, and after getting his permission, she pulled out a chair and sat opposite him.
Sitting on the chair with his back straight and his legs naturally together, he looks relaxed yet dignified.
You can tell at first glance that he is well-educated, neither reserved nor reserved.
This is definitely not something that can be taught in a day or two. It seems that she is already familiar with it to the core.
If Jiang Cha could hear the man's inner voice, she would definitely nod repeatedly and praise him for his sharp vision!
She must be familiar with it!
In my previous life, I wore Japanese kimonos for so many years, and I had a pillow on my waist all day long. If I sat in the wrong posture, I would expose myself.
Anyone who wears that thing knows that it has no advantages other than being uncomfortable and easy to expose!
After a long time, you have developed a comfortable and acceptable sitting posture. You can't be like the Japanese and sit up all day long and end up with bow legs, right?
"Someone come!"
"Sir, what are your orders?"
"Take a few people to Xinglong Inn and bring back all the people who caused trouble this morning! Also, bring those girlfriends as well!"
The adjutant took people to arrest the troublemakers. Jiang Cha drank the tea brought by the attendant and looked around the office in front of him.
A solid wood desk, a green desk lamp that is very common in spy dramas, a telephone that looks very old-fashioned, and a large radio.
The tea in my hand is Longjing tea from before the Qingming Festival, and the glass feels nice too.
The man opposite wore a neat and clean uniform, and it was obvious that it had been ironed by someone.
His hair was parted in the middle, and you could faintly smell the hairspray on his head.
If it weren't for the sound of artillery fire on the other side of the river, she would have thought she was in an office building in Shanghai.
Compared to the cannon fodder all over the town, it's like heaven and earth.
On one side is the well-dressed young master, and on the other side are the poor cannon fodder. Who would have thought that they all came to fight but were divided into different classes.
I had heard before that the Japanese recruited soldiers into different levels according to their height and physical condition, and those who were over 1.5 meters tall and in good health were classified as Class A soldiers.
Those who are over 1.45 meters tall are Class B soldiers, those who are relatively thin are Class C, those with hypertension and diabetes are Class D, and those with infectious diseases including tuberculosis and other diseases are Class E and are directly eliminated.
When it comes to the Kuomintang, membership is judged based on personal connections, regardless of ability.
"May I know your last name, young lady?"
"No need to mention my surname Jiang, just call me Miss Jiang!"
After saying that, she tidied her hair. She had just been running all the way and her hair was a mess.
"Excuse me, why did you come here? Don't most girls like big cities like Shanghai?"
"It's boring to see too much bustling things. These authentic things are more beautiful. Besides, there's a war going on here, and I want to see it up close. After all, we don't have such things in the United States. We only talk about business, not politics."
"It's not safe here. The Japanese may drop a bomb here at any time. I suggest you leave as soon as possible. Even if you are curious, you should pay attention to your safety. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall!"
"I wasn't standing by the wall! I just came to see the Japanese's atrocities. I'll give a speech when I get back. I'll tell everyone what I saw and heard along the way. War brings only disaster to ordinary people!"
When saying this, Jiang Cha's expression was serious, his eyes were firm and full of passion.
It seems like they can rush out at any time, holding banners, waving flags, and speaking for justice.
After saying this, he made the sign of a cross on his chest and muttered a few words with his head down.
Isn’t it normal for people who grew up abroad to have some kind of faith?
Although she didn't believe it, she could still demonstrate it.
"I didn't realize you were such a righteous girl. Aren't you afraid of being accidentally hit by a stray bullet? Bullets on the battlefield don't have eyes. You never know when you might be in danger.
Once the matter is resolved, I'll send someone to take you back to Shanghai. Don't run around anymore, so your family won't worry about you!"
The man's expression was so sincere that if it wasn't their first meeting, she would have thought he was a familiar boy next door.
In her opinion, this guy looks like a decent person, but he is actually not a good person!
"No, I'm not done yet! Yesterday I had dinner with a group of beggars and they told me stories about the battlefield. I was so excited that I wanted to follow them to the other side to take a look!"
Neither of them spoke a word of truth, and they talked for a long time, all of it was nonsense.
After testing each other for a long time, no one told the truth. No one was a fool, and it was impossible to open up to each other the first time they met.
What's more, Jiang Cha looked down on the man in front of her. He was a domineering boss who would throw checks at people at any time!
He didn't even care about his men who worked hard for him, and just watched a group of people in the town become weak from hunger and wear tattered clothes.
Either he is a born cold-hearted and cold-blooded animal, or he puts profit above all else and doesn't take human life seriously at all.
"Miss Jiang, there are all kinds of people out there. You'd better not wander around. If something really happens, how sad will your parents be?"
He didn't say that those people were heroes who had managed to survive the battlefield, he just said in passing that they were a mixed bunch.
"Oh? Which bad guy is so brave as to cause trouble near the base? Oh, right, it's your men! I've been here for a few days, and except for your men this morning, everyone I met on the street was very nice.
Some things really are believing when you see them. Rumors heard abroad are often unbelievable! I'm really looking forward to your speech; it'll be interesting to listen to more!"
The bald man's wife loves to go abroad to make speeches and smear Hong Party. Every relief money goes into her pocket, when the common people of the whole country are struggling.
This old woman lived an extremely extravagant life. Not only did she embezzle relief funds, she also misappropriated military supplies to buy herself a mansion, jewelry, etc.
With the influence of the top leaders, the corruption of the Kuomintang is becoming more and more serious.
Those among them who were truly committed to resisting Japan were gradually squeezed out of the center of power.
On the contrary, those who flatter others get promoted and make money, and rise to the top by relying on nepotism.
The person in front of me is obviously someone with status and background, but I wonder who is behind him?
"Miss Jiang, I advise you to be more careful with your words. I don't care who you are, but you should know your place. You should obey whoever is in your territory!"
The man's expression was slightly sarcastic, probably because he felt that Jiang Cha's words just now made him lose face.
That's why he warned her with a mocking tone.
This guy is petty and narrow-minded. He's a big man but he's narrow-minded!
"What? You still want to attack me? Is it because I caught your men breaking the law and harming the people? Or is it because your wife is someone else to you?
Although I'm here alone now, my family elders will always follow the signs I left behind to find me. I just don't know if you can withstand your family's wrath when that happens!
She acted like a lady, and the more she smiled and spoke clearly, the less likely she was to be manipulated.
No one knows whether what she said is true, but a woman who dared to say so alone must have something to rely on.
If you didn’t see her smiling and chatting happily, you would have thought this was her home!
