Chapter 349 Qian Xing is a spy
349
"They told my father to tell everyone that he accidentally pricked his leg while climbing the mountain. They also said they would arrange for me to go to South Island as soon as possible. At the same time, they would keep a close eye on my family. If I didn't obey, they would kill everyone in my family."
"If they find the chance, they will get rid of me."
Lin Cuicui couldn't believe her ears. How could those Japanese people be so cruel? Uncle Qian's family and theirs were just neighbors, relatives in the village, and yet they dared to threaten them like this? It was completely inhumane.
Lin Cuicui looked at Qian Xing with a complicated expression. She knew she shouldn't hate Qian Xing. Thinking about it, it was their family that had implicated Qian Xing's family. However, Lin Cuicui covered her mouth tightly with her hands. How could their family be so innocent?
Tang Shengkai and Tang Yue had both seen a lot of things, so their faces remained expressionless. Tang Yue continued, "Then why didn't you put the poison in the water tank just now?"
Lin Cuicui let go of her hand, her eyes widening even further. She turned to look at the water tank, then back at Qian Xing, speechless. This was too dangerous.
Qian Xing remained expressionless. "I can't bring myself to do it. I know my mission will be accomplished if I can just put the drug in the water, but I will never forgive myself in this lifetime."
"Even my life would be ruined. Those spies are ruthless. Even if the army finds out and punishes me, my family won't be safe. There's a good chance they'll be silenced as well."
At this moment, a look of dejection flashed across Qian Xing's face. "No matter what, we're all going to die, so why should good people go to hell? I accept it. Just consider us a family. It's just bad luck."
Tang Yue didn't expect that Qian Xing was so clear-headed. What he said was very likely the real thoughts of those spies.
"Who gave you the medicine?"
Qian Xing shook his head. "I haven't seen that person. The day after Tang Yue came back, I received a note after class asking me to get something from a drawer in the classroom after class."
"My heart died at that moment. These two months in the army were the happiest days of my life, and I cherished them very much. But my family was still under threat, and I couldn't ignore them.
I also knew that once I did it, there would be no turning back. But I still came. It was just that at the last moment, all I could think about was Xixi's chubby little figure.
"When I thought about losing such a chubby child in my hands, I couldn't help but hate myself. I thought, even if I die, I would never do such a thing.
I know I've let my family down, but I can't bring myself to kill my third brother's family. Just let me be a slave in my next life and atone for my sins in front of my parents."
Tang Yue had nothing more to ask, but the issue in Qiligou did need to be resolved.
"How do they know that your father is close to our family?" Tang Shengkai asked.
Qian Xing's face flashed with sarcasm. "It should be Tang Shengli and Tang Shengjun who said that. But I don't know how they are doing now."
Tang Yue ignored Qian Xing and asked Tang Shengkai to take him aside and wait for the effect of the drug to wear off before letting him go. At this time, Tang Yue's attention shifted to Uncle Xu.
Lin Cuicui didn't know what words to use to describe her mood at this moment. Isn't the Qian Xing family enough? Is Uncle Xu also enough?
Tang Yue asked Uncle Xu, "Uncle Xu, have you ever seen a Japanese spy?"
"Yes."
"when?"
"About half a year after the third brother left, one day I was coming back from another village and met two men in black clothes on the road. They pulled their hats down very low and stopped me directly."
"They asked me where my third brother and his family had gone. I really didn't know. They asked me several times, and finally put a gun to my head. I still didn't know, so they let me go."
"After that, I stopped letting Zhiwei go with me to see the doctor. But one day, when I came home, those two men were sitting in my house. Zhiwei had been knocked unconscious by them. My wife looked at me with a terrified face, desperately trying to wink at me to protect my grandson."
"Those two people still had the same intention. They asked me about the whereabouts of the third brother's family, but I really didn't know. In the end, they just told me to bring my grandson and follow Qian Xing to South Island.
If Qian Xing doesn't let us go back, we can't go back to Qiligou."
Mr. Xu's expression didn't change, but his tone changed a little, "I think everyone in the family is gone."
Tang Yue judged from Mr. Xu's face that his family should still be alive. This ability was also acquired after she absorbed spiritual power after her spiritual power was exhausted last time.
"Weren't there any other tasks assigned to you?"
"No, but I know they're definitely going to harm the Third Brother's family. But they didn't say it, and I don't know what they're going to do. But I only have this one grandson, and I really can't bear to see him die at such a young age."
"I agreed to come. I thought at the time that I would tell the third brother's family and ask them to be careful of Qian Xing. However, we are from the same village and our two families used to have a good relationship, so I couldn't say it directly."
"After all, if it is exposed, I don't know if my grandson will still be alive. Even if Qian Xing asked me to leave, I would not leave. I am thinking about what Qian Xing will do. If it doesn't work, I will definitely tell the third brother's family that Qian Xing is not a good person now."
"Did Qian Xing tell you anything?"
"No, he's a quiet person to begin with, and after coming to South Island, he joined the army. He's not allowed out, so I don't get to see him. I think this is good too. At least I don't see him, so nothing's wrong."
"But he came over last night and said Yueyue was back and that she was coming to the third brother's house for dinner today. He said that these were the only relatives he had in South Island and he wanted to get together. I felt that there was something wrong with this guy at the time, but I didn't dare to ask.
If he is already a spy, as ruthless as those spies, I am not afraid myself, but I am worried about Zhiwei."
"Fortunately, he just came to take a look and didn't do anything."
"Does Xu Zhiwei know?"
"I don't know. He was knocked unconscious from behind that time. When he woke up, we told him he accidentally hit his head while lifting something, and he believed it. This kid is not very smart. He believes everything others say. I am worried."
Tang Shengkai and Tang Yue exchanged a glance, and Tang Shengkai asked again, "You've been in South Island for so long, have any spies contacted you?"
"Really not. But I always feel like there are people following us, and when I turn around, they're gone. It's strange, every time I'm with you and Yueyue, those people are as if they don't exist."
Tang Yue finally understood. It seemed that there were quite a few insects on the South Island.
Tang Shengkai sighed and pulled the shocked and speechless Lin Cuicui out of the house, with Tang Yue following behind.
Arriving in the courtyard, Lin Cuicui sat on a chair, unable to recover for a long time. Tang Shengkai poured her a glass of water, which she gulped down before asking, tears streaming down her face, "Third brother, is what they said true?"
Tang Shengkai's expression was also grave. He nodded. "They drank the medicine made by my daughter, so what they said couldn't be false."
Lin Cuicui didn't know what to say at this moment. Hate? But, should she hate? "Then, what should we do?"
Tang Shengkai turned his gaze to Tang Yue, who shrugged, "Mom, don't worry. Qian Xing is an upright man. In the end, he didn't pour the medicine into our water tank, but stuffed it into the stove.
Their whole family is implicated by ours. In fact, we owe them a debt.”
"If it weren't for our family, Grandpa Qian's legs wouldn't have been crippled by those spies. Qian Xing wouldn't have been under such great psychological pressure."
Lin Cuicui clenched her hands tightly. She hated, truly hated, those spies. She couldn't help crying, "When will this end?"
His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he could only cover his mouth with his hands and sob softly.
Tang Shengkai looked at Tang Yue and asked, "Did you find anyone from the Hatoyama family when you went to Japan?"
Tang Yue nodded, "I killed a few, but I didn't have enough time to reach their lair. If I have the chance next time, I will definitely go straight to their lair and take them down."
Tang Shengkai sighed. He knew his daughter had done her best. Besides, it was so dangerous, and he didn't want her to stay out there all the time. However, he couldn't ignore the current dilemma.
The Qian and Xu families are innocent. "Yueyue, do you have any ideas?"
