As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Shuoyu didn't come to cause trouble, but to express his gratitude. He persuaded He Shuguang to go in and inform him with five dollars in cash. He didn't care about the money, because money was not as important as their leader's life.
Besides, if he had no money, even if he went to the West Coast to steal from the Japanese, he would redeem their leader. Tang Ji appeared very quickly with a kind expression. If you ignore the military uniform on him, he really looks like an ordinary old man.
Because there was no conflict of interest between Shuoyu and him, and there was no need for any conflict of interest at all, not to mention that there were more than a hundred people who had escaped from the west coast, and they could not be easily ignored.
Shuo Yu revealed a corner of the box in his hand, and got a chance to talk privately.
Tang Ji looked up and down at the young man in front of him and said with a smile,
"I know you, a young talent, well-educated, and having fought on the other side of the battlefield, it's all right for you to think of Master Yu in your heart. So what are you doing?"
Shuoyu pushed the box over with a sincere look on his face.
"What are you talking about, Deputy Commander Tang? If it weren't for the people he sent to keep an eye on us, our small group would have been a hotbed of trouble. And if it weren't for the doctor you arranged, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly, right? This is the money we saved for our straw mats before we left for Burma. Here they are, a token of our appreciation, isn't it?"
A sedan chair is carried by thousands of people. Shuo Yu had seen many people and knew what to say. He declined Tang Ji back and forth and said a lot of polite words to pave the way. After watching Tang Ji say that it was better to obey than to be respectful and accept the three thousand dollars in cash, he finally told him his ultimate goal.
"Deputy Commander, I won't beat around the bush. I'm here mainly to ask about our regimental commander, Long Wenjian, the one who was personally tortured by Commander Yu that day. We all know that if it weren't for Commander Yu's artillery support that day, there would have been no trace of us left. There were simply too many casualties. More than a thousand people died in just one day and one night, and only a few are left. I don't know what mistake our regimental commander made, but please let me see him."
Shuo Yu spoke in a sincere tone and with a flexible posture, almost saying, "As long as you name a number, I will give their leader as many as you want. As long as you name a number, it will be fine."
Tang Ji had lived for most of his life, but this was the first time he had seen such a person. He was naive. He was well versed in the rules of the world. He did not go to find his equally naive nephew Yu, but came to him instead.
He was slick, but he'd already said the lieutenant was an imposter, and yet this guy wanted to ransom him. And three thousand dollars is a lot of money, right? He just handed it over without hesitation. What kind of person is he?
Tang Ji didn't know whether this guy was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, but he didn't care whether it was true or not. Anyway, the matter of Long Wenjian had not been concluded yet, so it was okay to meet him. Besides legal principles, there was also human feelings.
Tang Ji looked at the box filled with three thousand dollars, and was already thinking about where to spend it. Whether the Long Wenjian incident was a big deal or not depended entirely on whether the higher-ups would investigate. The matter had not yet been concluded, and he could not guarantee anything.
Tang Ji still looked sympathetic on the surface. He helped Shuo Yu up from his kneeling position and agreed to his request to see his leader, but the time could not be too long, otherwise it would be difficult for him to do so.
Shuo Yu nodded quickly. It was enough to see him. He promised not to embarrass Deputy Commander Tang.
He was taken to a basement, which was surrounded by walls and had only a small door. Some light would come in during the day and at night to prevent the people locked up there from going crazy.
Long Wenjian covered his eyes with his hands because of the sudden light from the door. He blinked to adapt to the light and looked at Shuo Yu who suddenly appeared here. He was a little overwhelmed and stood up immediately.
"Why are you here? They arrested you too. That's not right. You didn't do anything." Long Wenjian's face was full of inquiry and anxiety.
"No, I came to see you, Captain. They said you were shot, and we were all worried. As soon as I got better, I thought of a way to come and see you. I have spent all the money that Milong earned from selling her body. If it is still not enough, I will collect more. I will definitely rescue you." Shuoyu, who was very clean, was obviously not from the same world as the dirty Long Wenjian. There was a certain distance between them, and there were people arranged by Tang Ji watching from behind to prevent any accidents.
Long Wenjian looked at Shuo Yu who was in the backlight, his facial features wrinkled as he tried to see something clearly. He didn't even know why the other party still called him the captain. He should have known that this captain was a fake, right?
"Why save me? I'm fine here. No need to save me. I'll be out in a few days. You don't know how expensive food and oil are until you run the household. You're such a spendthrift. Have you ever experienced poverty? You're such a heartless person!"
Shuo Yu sighed in his heart that their leader could really speak dialects from all over the place. It had been a long time since he heard anyone scold him in his hometown dialect. He really missed it. There was about a meter between them. Their leader's face was a mess and his hair hadn't been taken care of for a long time, but he was still smiling. That smile seemed to be growing on his face.
Tang Ji didn't give him much time. After all, it was good enough to just let him take a look. The time was very short. When he was leaving, Shuo Yu only had time to tell him that he must wait for him. He would definitely get him out. He must wait for him!
After coming out, Shuo Yu bowed sincerely to Tang Ji. No matter what the reason was, he wanted to thank him for letting him meet their leader.
"Deputy Division Commander, our regimental commander is actually quite good, really."
