Then he spoke again, "As long as you are willing to help me successfully complete this arduous task, all problems will be solved. Then, you will be able to return to the warm embrace of your parents and live a normal life from now on."
"Please rest assured, we will definitely catch these bad guys and bring them to justice. Once the dust settles, I will report your heroic performance and great contributions to my superiors and ask them to commend you and arrange a satisfactory job for you. I believe that with this new job, your future will be full of hope and brightness."
Daya was standing there nervously, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corners of her clothes. When she heard Zhao Lihan's words, her eyes suddenly lit up and a smile of surprise appeared on her face.
She tilted her head back slightly, her voice trembling with excitement as she asked, "Comrade Zhao, you...was what you just said true? Did I hear correctly?"
"Yes, I won't lie to you."
Jiang Daya, upon hearing what Zhao Lihan said, was very excited and said, "Comrade Zhao, can you please tell me what the mission is?"
Zhao Lihan quickly and skillfully reached into his bag. After a moment's searching, he pulled out a slightly worn but well-preserved notebook. He gently flipped open the book and picked up a fountain pen. The tip of the pen glided smoothly across the paper as he wrote a few key words. After finishing, he carefully tore off the page and folded it several times, making it small and neat.
Zhao Lihan then fished a specially crafted rubber hose from his pocket. It was pitch black, hard yet flexible, and had a carefully designed seal at the end. He placed the folded note securely inside the hose and closed the lid tightly, ensuring it wouldn't fall or get damaged.
He solemnly handed the hose to her and said in a serious tone, "This mission is crucial. You must deliver this message safely and accurately to the hill ahead. Remember, there can be no mistakes!"
Zhao Lihan then began to describe the specific location to her in detail. He also explained to her who he was looking for and the code words he would use when contacting her.
Finally, before Daya left, Zhao Lihan handed the flashlight to her.
Then, Zhao Lihan bent down again and picked up an extremely sharp, gleaming long knife from his side. This knife was exactly the one they had brought out from the deep and mysterious cave together.
Zhao Lihan solemnly handed the long sword to Daya with both hands, and said in a firm and steady tone: "Miss Daya, the journey is long and the dangers are unknown. Take this long sword with you just in case. It can protect your safety at the critical moment."
After doing all this, Zhao Lihan still seemed unsure, so he reached into his bag again and fumbled around. After a while, he pulled out a tightly packed pack of compressed biscuits.
He handed the package of compressed biscuits to Daya and said seriously, "Comrade Jiang, this is some dry food. Although it's not much, it can temporarily relieve the pain of hunger. You must keep it well and eat some when you get hungry on the road."
Jiang Daya was very touched to see Zhao Lihan was so attentive. She took the dry food Zhao Lihan handed over and put it away. Then she disappeared into the night.
When Zhao Lihan saw her leave, he thought of the people in the cave. In order to prevent them from waking up, he went into the cave again, gave them some medicine, and then tied them up with ropes.
When he was done, he began drawing simple maps of the places he had passed in his notebook.
…
Wang Xiaolan, who is far away in Kyoto.
The family came to the campus of Kyoto University in a grand procession, and their appearance attracted a lot of people's attention.
For those who were admitted to university, it was undoubtedly a major joyous occasion, and the whole family would not come to see them off. In those days, people were generally financially challenged, and traveling far required considerable expenses, so these freshmen arrived at the university alone, carrying their luggage.
The appearance of Wang Xiaolan and her family instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. They were not carrying a lot of luggage, but Zeng Cheng was carrying a small duffel bag, and Wang Xiaolan also had a small shoulder bag on her shoulder. They did not look tired or sleepy after a long journey.
Such an image appearing at the freshman registration site undoubtedly left a bad impression on other freshmen and seniors who came to greet them.
The seniors who were in charge of reception looked at the family in silence, their eyes revealing a variety of complex emotions.
Some people's eyes were filled with curiosity; others were tinged with envy; and still others were annoyed, feeling that the arrival of this family had disrupted the orderly registration process. In short, everyone had different thoughts and feelings in their hearts.
Wang Xiaolan was not affected by this, but said to Yu Wenlin and Zeng Qiang: "Mom and Dad, you take the two little ones around, and it's enough to have Big Brother here."
While Wang Xiaolan was talking to her parents, Zeng Cheng, carrying a simple bag, quickly walked up to a male classmate and asked, "Classmate, how do I get to the freshman registration office?"
The male student, named Li Hao, looked at Zeng Cheng, then at Wang Xiaolan, who was talking to her parents, and asked, "Are you a freshman?"
Zeng Cheng shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to accompany my sister."
Li Hao couldn't help but look back at Wang Xiaolan who was not far behind him. He saw her standing there gracefully, talking to her parents and teasing the two children.
He subconsciously pushed the thick glasses on his nose and muttered to himself, "The gap between people is really huge! Such a beautiful woman is treated differently. She even has someone to see her off. And look at the crowd of people who have registered. Who isn't alone..."
Thinking of this, Li Hao couldn't help but sigh secretly.
At this moment, Zeng Cheng's face was filled with anticipation. He stared at the other person without blinking, anxiously waiting for his answer.
At this moment, a female classmate named Zhang Fengjiao standing next to Li Hao gently pushed Li Hao's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Hey, are you stupid? Did you see a beautiful woman? The person standing in front of you is a grown man. Don't be in a daze here, hum! I'm leaving, I won't waste time with you anymore." After saying that, she walked away angrily.
Just now, Li Hao was in a trance, staring blankly ahead, as if his soul had left his body. However, at this moment, Li Fengjiao's clear and loud voice pierced the fog in his mind like a flash of lightning.
"Hey! Li Hao, are you stupid?"
This shout instantly woke Li Hao from his daze. He turned around blankly and saw the person in front of him staring at him. He wanted to explain something guiltily.
This person was not someone else, but his recently successful girlfriend, Zhang Fengjiao. Not only was she his classmate, but their relationship had only just begun.
