Jiang Qiao pursed her lips. "We've weathered the storm, but we've lost quite a few people. If you don't cherish what you have left, then those who survive will have no hope at all, because they will always be the ones who are sacrificed."
I don't care about others, I only care about my patients. If they don't eat, their health will naturally suffer. Don't blame me then. Treatment is a continuous process, and if it is interrupted, I can't guarantee that there won't be a relapse.
After you finish your medicine, everyone go back and lie down. The more active you are, the more you'll eat. If you have any problems, you can report them to your superiors. I've said everything I needed to say.
Ye Xiuhe waved for the four people to leave, and said earnestly, "Jiang Qiao, going against people is not a wise choice. Don't forget your current identity."
Last time, I wasn't bluffing. If you really push us too far, we might actually have to use morphine on you.
Therefore, I advise you to listen to me and hand over the jade pendant and medical book. Even if you don't have the medical book, the jade pendant is better than suffering on your own.
Don't forget, we have a medicine that tells the truth. Once we use it on you, let alone the jade pendant, we'll find out anything you have that we want to know.
No matter how skilled you are, can you outrun a bullet? Especially with our men lying in ambush all around, you won't even have a chance to escape.
I advise you to be smart. If that drug is actually injected into your body, you'll be in a situation where you can neither live nor die.
"We'll give you three days. If you don't reveal the whereabouts of this jade pendant, we really won't be so polite."
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "It seems you really can't hold back anymore. What, are you really planning to make a move against me? You're not expecting me to develop an antidote for you?"
Ye Xiuhe smiled and said, "This is not my responsibility. I will do whatever the superior orders. To borrow your words, it's a win-win situation for everyone."
Why wait until we've suffered enough, only to have our things still belong to us?
After saying all this, Ye Xiuhe, for some reason, suddenly dipped her finger in water and wrote the character for "escape" on the table, then winked at Jiang Qiao.
Jiang Qiao had no idea who the other party was or why they were doing this.
She now suspects that Ye Xiuhe and Bai Qingping are only superficially friendly, and that the other party is asking her to find a way to escape.
She could only shake her head apologetically, then gestured with her fingers. She was also afraid of the weapon the other person had; if they were to secretly attack her, it would be better not to run away.
In particular, Ye Xiuhe's actions made Jiang Qiao realize that there must be a bugging device in this house.
"Let me think about this. This is my lifeline. If I hand it over to you, I might really lose my life."
After saying that, he dipped his brush in water and wrote three words on the table: "You'll help me?"
Ye Xiuhe shook her head. Seeing this, Jiang Qiao continued writing, somewhat unwilling, "Why did you help me?"
Ye Xiuhe just smiled and didn't give Jiang Qiao an answer. She herself couldn't explain why she was helping Jiang Qiao.
Perhaps her conscience hadn't been extinguished, or perhaps she didn't want to see these people harming their compatriots anymore. Or perhaps she didn't want to commit any more killings and accumulate some good karma for future generations. Even she herself couldn't explain what her motivation was in reminding Jiang Qiao.
"I need to see Bai Qingping. Please tell her."
Ye Xiuhe nodded, turned and left, leaving Jiang Qiao alone in the room. She just couldn't figure out what was wrong with Ye Xiuhe. She reminded her, but didn't want to help her. She was such a contradictory person.
But then she thought about it again and realized she could understand Ye Xiuhe's feelings. She was getting on in years; in the countryside, someone her age would be almost a grandmother. She wondered what she was hoping to achieve by continuing to waste her life like this.
Moreover, she could also guess that if this group of people continued to cause trouble like this, it would be difficult for them not to be arrested.
Thinking about what Bai Qingping had asked Ye Xiuhe to convey, Jiang Qiao snorted and then got up and left.
As he walked, he muttered to himself, "They're all preparing to take action against me. I wonder what it feels like to have a morphine needle stuck in my body, and what about that 'tell the truth' drug? If this keeps up, I probably won't be able to take it anymore."
"Damn it, you've pushed me to the limit. I'm ready to fight to the death! What are you all thinking? Get yourselves to an idea right now!"
Even before Jiang Qiao could say anything, the person listening in had already reported the matter to Liu Zhanyu upon hearing Ye Xiuhe's threatening words.
We're just waiting for him to make a decision.
"Captain, what should we do? Should we take action?"
Liu Zhanyu had just spoken with Song Shutian on the phone. They had deciphered the enemy's telegram. Sato was planning to rescue him, but it seemed that the two sides had not reached an agreement.
Thinking about what Song Shutian had just said, Liu Zhanyu was in a dilemma. They had already laid a trap and were waiting. If they made a move here, would it affect Song Shutian's plans?
"Wait a minute—"
Just as he finished speaking, the radio operator came in. "Captain, look, this is a telegram the enemy just sent. I just deciphered it. The enemy wants to send grain, and there's another telegram, but the code doesn't match the Japanese code. We're coordinating with our superiors to find a way to decipher it."
"It wasn't posted by one person?"
The radio operator shook his head. "Judging from the methods used, it shouldn't be the same person."
After listening, Liu Zhanyu frowned. "Hurry up and find a way to decipher it. This telegram might give us an unexpected surprise."
In addition, we need to find a way to intercept that batch of grain and send our own people in instead.
Keep a close eye on those sentries and be ready to receive orders at any time.
Jiang Qiao didn't see Bai Qingping immediately; she seemed even busier than her. As for Ye Xiuhe, she hadn't shown her face since returning home.
When Zhang Erhu and the others came out after the inspection, they saw Jiang Qiao strolling outside and all ran over to greet him. They were worried about not being able to eat soon, and these grown men were quite concerned about it.
"Jiang Qiao, what should we do? We've used up most of what's in the ditch these days. These bastards didn't even thank us for the food we brought, and now that we're out of food, they're blaming us. What are we going to do if we can't get the food in?"
Jiang Qiao, I want to leave here. If we leave, do you think you'll continue to treat us?
Jiang Qiao glanced at the four people. Zhang Erhu was just a side note; she was focusing on the other three.
Despite the fact that these three people have been eating and drinking with her these past few days, she doesn't simply assume that they are on her side.
Those Japanese devils are so cunning, how could they not have one of their own people in there?
However, she still couldn't figure out which of the three people was the enemy's spy.
"Sigh, the idea is good, but will your boss let me out? You'd better find out more before you speak. I'm not in control of my own life right now. I'm more anxious than you are. It's almost the New Year, and I'm still stuck here. My family doesn't know my situation. They're probably very worried. Sigh—"
