Chapter 56 The Moon of Yesteryear
When Xie Ning returned to the villa after debugging the machine, she bumped into Cai Huai, who was covered in blood, as soon as she got out of the car. She rushed over to ask what had happened.
Cai Huai had his men take the man inside, and then he quietly recounted what had just happened.
It was their fault for not making proper arrangements and alerting the enemy, which caused chaos. As a result, several brothers were injured, and several civilians died at Lin Zhishu's wedding. He had set a trap in conjunction with the government, but he only caught a few small fry while the biggest fish got away.
"Send someone to deliver some compensation to the deceased's family." That was all Xie Ning could do. "By the way, what are your plans regarding Lin Zhishu?"
Cai Huai frowned slightly. Lin Zhishu had cooperated with the arrest operation on his own initiative, so he shouldn't be blamed for the mistake. At first, everyone thought the other party was on the Kuomintang side, but they didn't expect it to be a Japanese spy.
Moreover, Lin Zhishu concealed the most important point: he said that He Nai had surrendered and that the other party was from the Kuomintang, which is why everyone made the wrong judgment. However, what needs to be corrected is that he lied to the police station, saying that it was a Japanese spy den, which turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Furthermore, they gave Lin Zhishu a weapon for self-defense, but he didn't use it.
"We'll hold a meeting to discuss solutions, but one thing is certain: Lin Zhishu can no longer stay here." A man with a Japanese woman in his heart cannot be allowed to stay.
This really comes at a snail's pace. The investigation into the interception of military equipment hasn't even been completed yet, and now there's a Japanese spy involved.
It seems the factory has been under surveillance for a long time. Cai Huai had anticipated this day, but when it actually came, he was still a bit flustered. The interception of military equipment must have been due to an internal leak, and a self-investigation would have to be arranged.
Furthermore, the factory needs to strengthen the loyalty of its workers and students; otherwise, such incidents will certainly not be isolated incidents. Power, wealth, and lust—there will always be people who cannot resist temptation.
Xie Ning nodded to indicate that she understood. She looked up and saw Yun Ai'ai holding a child with a blank expression. After thinking for a moment, she decided to ask Aunt Liu to comfort her.
Her identity couldn't be exposed, so Aunt Liu was the only woman left.
After hearing about Yun Ai'ai's ordeal, Aunt Liu cursed the Japanese devils under her breath. She didn't go to see Yun Ai'ai immediately, but instead cooked a pot of shredded pork porridge before going over. There was still a child there; she needed to eat something, and once she was full and warmed up, she would feel better.
Yun Ai'ai couldn't eat anything, so she just patted Hanwazi's head to encourage him to eat. But Hanwazi, who usually couldn't resist food, didn't eat. He just gently tugged at Yun Ai'ai's sleeve and said, "Sister, when are we going home? Hanwazi is scared and misses his parents."
As soon as she finished speaking, tears rolled down Yun Ai'ai's cheeks, startling the simple-minded boy. He didn't know what he had done wrong. Aunt Liu sighed, picked up the boy, and said softly, "The simple-minded boy is a big boy now. Auntie will put the porridge on the small stone table outside. Can the simple-minded boy eat by himself?"
"I can eat by myself." The simple-minded boy dared not say anything more, and did whatever others said. He behaved very obediently, and his little eyes would occasionally look at Yun Ai'ai, hoping that if he was so good, his older sister would stop crying.
After settling the simpleton, Aunt Liu didn't force Yun Ai'ai to eat. She just gently hugged her and patted Yun Ai'ai's back again and again.
His chest was soaked with a cool liquid, but the child didn't utter a single cry.
