Thinking of this, Lu Yi looked at Han Ying and asked, "Could you tell us exactly where that courtyard is?"
Han Ying was shocked and quickly stopped them, saying, "You can't go! I've already told you, that area has been bought up by Wu Mei's friends. If you strangers go there, you'll definitely be discovered!"
Lu Yi frowned; this was indeed a bit tricky. "Don't worry, we know what we're doing. We just want to know exactly where it is."
Han Ying looked at him disbelievingly, but after seeing his serious expression, she sighed helplessly. "Alright! But you must remember what I said! The house is in Lianxing Lane in the eastern suburbs. It's easy to find. Just look for the largest courtyard."
Lu Yi and his group carefully noted down the address Han Ying gave them, and then prepared to leave.
Lu Yi called out to Ye Ran, and Ye Ran and the other woman came in. Both of them pretended to know nothing and looked at them. "Have you finished talking?"
Lu Yi sighed helplessly. He could tell from her excited and thrilled expression that she must have been eavesdropping. What could he do? He had to spoil his wife, or else he had to scold her.
Li Qin walked over and took Han Ying's hand. "Grandma, you've suffered so much all these years. Come with me! I'll take good care of you."
Han Ying smiled and took her hand in return, "No! Grandma is already very satisfied to be able to see you again. It's been twenty years, and today is the happiest day of my life."
Grandma can't do anything else for you, but she can help you be the bad guy for a while longer.
I've made so many mistakes over the years. Actually, I know who Wu Mei is working for. She's been in contact with a Japanese man, but I know too little about it.
All these years I've been a traitor! If Lao Niu knew, he would definitely scold me. He's a hero, and I'm a traitor. I've disgraced him, and even in death I have no face to see him.
I deserve to be scorned. I acted out of selfishness back then, but now that you're back, my wish has been fulfilled, and I can finally atone for my sins a little..."
Hearing the old man's poignant words, everyone fell silent. They could only blame fate for its cruel twists...
Li Qin paused for a moment, then said, "I respect your decision. However, I will come to see you often. I will come to pick you up again after everything is over."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Han Ying nodded in agreement, her voice choked with emotion.
The group walked away into the night. Han Ying wiped away her tears, glanced around warily, and then went back inside…
The next morning, everyone gathered in the living room. At the head of the table, Lu Tian and Yan Ning, their faces serious, said, "Yamamoto will be arriving soon..."
Although we already know quite a bit, it's still not enough. We must uproot his entire network before Yamamoto and the people in Kyoto form a united front!
“But… Wu Mei has already noticed something, and there are spies all around her courtyard. We can’t get close to her easily!” Lu Yi said with a frown and a deep voice.
Ye Ran looked at Su Ji and said, "I think the breakthrough point is that puppet. Once we break through it, many people will probably wake up and no longer be controlled by Wu Mei."
Su Ji said with difficulty, "Although I should be able to handle the doll you mentioned, I can't guarantee anything until I see the actual object!"
Just when everyone was in a dilemma, someone came to visit. It was Aunt Zhang Mi and Zheng Fei.
Upon seeing Aunt Zhang Mi, Ye Ran's eyes lit up. How could she forget that Aunt Zhang was also an official's wife...
