Chapter 171 Old Li blames himself
171
In Commander Kang's office, Chang Yin and the others sat with solemn expressions. Commander Kang took a sip of water and asked Tang Yue, "Captain Tang, do you think this incident was done by Japanese spies?"
Tang Yue thought about it and shook her head, "I don't know, it's very likely, but I can't rule out other possibilities."
A gleam flashed in Commander Kang's eyes. "Oh? Tell me what you think."
Tang Yue had thought about it on the way, and it wasn't hard to talk about it now. "The news that we got the US warship back should have spread."
Teacher Kang and Chang Yin exchanged a glance, then turned away. They had both forgotten to tell Tang Yue about this, which had led her to speculate. But Tang Yue continued.
"That Albert must have passed on information to the United States. I was the one who fought him head-on at the time. It might have been retaliation from the United States."
Tang Yue felt that both Japan and the United States were possible, but she really didn't know who had come up with this shady trick.
Commander Kang felt that Tang Yue had considered everything very thoroughly and took out a few newspapers from the drawer. "Take a look at these. You were busy on the warship a while ago and I didn't have time to tell you."
Tang Yue inexplicably took the newspaper in her hand, and flipped through it. The more she looked at it, the worse her expression became. Teacher Kang had been paying attention to Tang Yue's expression. He was waiting for the little girl to question him. However, Tang Yue raised her head and a sharp flash of light flashed in her eyes.
"So, you're planning to return all those American soldiers and warships?"
A chill flashed through her usually soft voice, as if if Commander Kang said "return", Tang Yue would strangle them to death. Even the air around them instantly grew colder.
Teacher Kang looked at the bright sun outside the window and wondered why the temperature in the room suddenly dropped.
Commander Kang knew that the little girl was not angry about her own safety, but because she was considering the entire China. He was both relieved and felt that the little girl was not living like a child.
Although he couldn't stand the negative pressure from Tang Yue, Commander Kang still answered honestly, "They should be allowed to go back."
Ignoring Tang Yue's murderous look, he said, "But China won't let them go so easily. They have to get some benefits from the United States."
"Is it that simple? What can you ask for in return?"
Teacher Kang......
How should he respond? The US certainly wouldn't give them any advanced technology.
"It must be something that China can use now." As for what the United States has eliminated and no longer uses, he did not say anything. He was afraid that the little girl would lose control and come up with some poison to spread to Albert and his people.
Tang Yue had withdrawn her aura. Although she did not understand the actions of those upper-class people in China, she seemed to understand more clearly the saying that those who fall behind will be beaten.
Teacher Kang? Why is it a bit hot again? Hey, it's summer, it's good for the little girl to be angry. At least it keeps her cool.
"Commander, when will the test be available?"
Tang Yue now regrets that she learned so little in her previous life. If she had worked harder and paid more attention to alchemy, she might have discovered what was smeared on the dishes today.
Although she doesn't know how to do it, she has read many books in the collection, so she can study it herself when she returns.
Teacher Kang felt that it was unlikely to be found out, but he could definitely determine the medicinal properties.
"We've already done some testing, but our technology is limited here, so we're not sure if we can find out. But the efficacy of the drug can definitely be tested."
Tang Yue nodded, "If there's nothing else, I'll go home first."
Commander Kang wanted to ask her if she wanted to go to the garbage station, but seeing that the little girl was not in a good mood, forget it. He had already said that he would give her two days off, so he decided not to rush her.
After Tang Yue left, Commander Kang's face immediately fell. "Investigate, investigate thoroughly, and catch all the spies hiding in South Island. This is outrageous, they've even extended their hands into the army. They're really too rampant."
Chang Yin obeyed his orders, and for the next two months, spies across South Island suffered. The crackling of gunfire was a common occurrence, and the people were in a state of panic, fearing that spies might be among them, and they acted with extreme caution. This is a later story.
When Tang Yue returned home, everyone in the family looked unhappy, and Lin Cuicui looked even more haggard as she sat in a chair in a daze.
"Mom, I'm back."
Lin Cuicui finally came back to her senses. "Yueyue is back. How's it going? What did the commander say? Can we catch those damn Japanese spies?"
The three Tangbei brothers also looked at Tang Yue with hope. They hadn't even gone to training today, just to see how the army would handle this matter. Old Li sat on the threshold, feeling ashamed, his pipe in his hand, lost in thought.
Tang Yue smiled and said, "Grandpa, Mom, and brothers, don't worry. The army will definitely not let this go. They will definitely get to the bottom of this. We can just live our lives peacefully."
Everyone in the family looked at her, with no expression on their faces.
Tang Yue......
Does this mean you don't believe her?
"Mom, have you made breakfast? I'm hungry."
While speaking, Tang Yue touched her belly, indicating that she was really hungry.
Old Li seemed to wake up and quickly stood up. "Your mother doesn't need to go. Grandpa will make it for you." After saying this, he went to the kitchen without even raising his head.
Seeing that Old Li was in a bad mood, Tang Yue followed him into the kitchen.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Old Li lowered his head to scoop water and said, "Nothing, go out now, the meal will be ready soon."
Tang Yue knew that Old Li had a mental block, which was not acceptable. Her grandfather had not been able to sense the spiritual energy around him until now. If he had a mental block, it would be even more difficult for him to practice.
Tang Yue sighed, "Oh, grandpa doesn't like me anymore."
With a "pop", the watering can in Old Li's hand fell to the ground.
Tang Yue......
Old Li glared at Tang Yue, "Nonsense! When has grandpa stopped caring about you? It's you, on the contrary. Look, grandpa can't even hold the water scoop steadily."
He lowered his head to pick up the water scoop in a bad mood. Tang Yue came forward with a smile to help, "Grandpa, look, this is what my grandfather would say. Grandpa, no one in our family blames you. Besides, it's not your fault that the vegetables were poisoned.
Grandpa works so hard to grow vegetables just for me to eat. I know that, and so do Mom and the others. Grandpa, if you blame yourself, then we will all blame ourselves too."
Old Li couldn't help but his eyes turned red again, "What are you talking about? Get out now. Why would a child enter the kitchen? Grandpa is going to cook."
Tang Yue didn't leave. Old Li was still squatting there. Tang Yue stared into Old Li's eyes and said, "Grandpa, we are a family. Now the spies are trying to attack our family. We must always be vigilant against the retaliation of those Japanese spies. We are all waiting for your protection."
Old Li...
How could this child be so considerate? However, the awkwardness in my heart was indeed gone.
Rubbing his eyes, Old Li reached out and touched Tang Yue's head. "Hey, Yueyue, Grandpa, I feel so bad. How could those spies be so wicked? How could they poison someone?"
Tang Yue......
She remembered the drug she had given to the spies in the mountains. If she hadn't been eager to learn something from them, she might have been able to make some poison for them.
Tang Yue's mouth twitched. "Grandpa, don't think about it. Tell me, if it were you, with such a huge hatred between us and Japan, and you had a deadly poison, would you find a way to give it to them?"
Old Li...
He seems quite willing. But is it really a good idea to put yourself in someone else's shoes like this?
Old Li looked at Tang Yue with a puzzled expression. Tang Yue patted Old Li on the shoulder and said, "Grandpa, that's why I say that no one is wrong. We just have different standpoints. You don't have to feel bad. We can retaliate when we have the chance in the future."
Old Li...Oh my god, I suddenly don’t know how to reply, what should I do?
Seeing that Old Li had regained his spirits, Tang Yue stopped staying in the kitchen and came out.
As a result, there was no one in the main room. She felt it lightly and found that everyone had gone into the room to practice.
Tang Yue...why is she suddenly so hardworking again? Isn't this too much? Mom and brothers are all this way, so what's she supposed to do?
Wait, that's not right, this aura?
Tang Yue ran away.
The author has something to say: My dears, what’s wrong with guessing quickly?
