Shanghai morning

That night Ivan didn't sleep all night, and Wang Yao tossed and tossed for half the night. Although he calmed down later, his condition was still not very good. Ivan had to watch by the side to prevent him from doing anything extreme.When Wang Yao finally fell asleep at dawn, Ivan leaned against his bed and took a nap.

Early the next morning, Wang Yao woke up from his fatigue, and when he tilted his head, he saw the silver head of the Russian not far from him, and he subconsciously pushed it away.

"Are you awake?" Ivan asked sleepily.

Wang Yao has completely calmed down, but his mood is still gloomy and heavy: "How did you find me yesterday?"

As soon as Ivan woke up, he asked a question right away. He rubbed his eyes and replied, "I felt that something was wrong with you a few days ago. I asked Torres to investigate, and then I found out that you were trying to mess with that stunned young man. But Torres didn't inquire about the exact location, but only knew that it was a teahouse in the concession, and I searched for it one by one, and found you later."

"You asked someone to investigate me?" Wang Yao became angry.

"I was afraid that something would happen to you!" said Ivan, "but something happened."

Wang Yao didn't say anything, he was silent for two seconds, and he still said, "Thanks, Ivan."

"It's good that you're alive." Ivan stood up and stretched himself, "Make me up for breakfast!"

Since the teahouse incident, Wang Yao has been anxious every day. He is worried about his sister's safety and fears that he will be captured by the Japanese at any time. It would be good if Honda Chrysanthemum appeared at this time. Ju didn't show up again, and didn't send his men to arrest him, so he could only wait meaninglessly.Wang Nianjing also seemed to have disappeared during this period. In the past, Wang Yao could always "encounter" him, but now he took the initiative to look for him, but he disappeared.In desperation, Wang Yao had to reflect. Maybe those so-called encounters were arranged by Wang Nianjing. They felt that Wang Yao was a person who could be used early in the morning. Thinking of these, Wang Yao became more anxious, and he couldn't help resenting Wang Nianjing and his partners. .But after thinking about it, they tried their best to rescue Wan Wan, and even brought several of their own people in. Wang Nianjing should be avoiding him at this time because he was afraid of being implicated.

At the same time, Ivan also became more cautious. He moved too much last time. It is impossible for Honda Ju not to pay attention to him. He can no longer secretly protect Wang Yao as before. The Japanese found out.

Torres revealed to Ivan: "Mr. Braginski, I have contacted our informant, and the arrangement has been made in the United States. You can get a new identity and settle down there, and you will not be hunted down again. .”

Ivan asked, "Is it just the two of us going?"

Torres said embarrassingly: "The more people there are, the easier it is to be exposed. If you want to bring Mr. Wang Yao, I can find a way to get another boat ticket, but this may cause unnecessary trouble."

"The trouble caused to Yao is not unnecessary!" Ivan said arrogantly, "He is in a very dangerous situation now, I can't keep him here."

Torres couldn't help Ivan, so he had to say: "I will do my best, but Mr. Wang Yao is now being watched by Honda Chrysanthemum, and it will take some effort to get him onto the boat safely."

"I don't care about the middle process, the result must be that Wang Yaoan can go with me safely!" Ivan said resolutely.

Torres had no choice but to nod: "Okay, I'll find a way."

While Ivan was away, Al happened to visit.When Wang Yao heard footsteps going upstairs, he thought it was Ivan who came back, and then he heard a knock on the door.

"Don't bother me!" Wang Yao didn't want Ivan to enter the house.

The person outside the door paused, and then asked, "Yao, are you feeling unwell?"

Only then did Wang Yao realize that it was Al, and he jumped out of bed, opened the door: "Al, don't you need to go to the foreign firm today?" He let Al into the room, frowning at his messy bed.

Al didn't dislike the messiness of the room, and sat down calmly: "Arthur has decided to leave Shanghai next week."

Wang Yao's eyes darkened: "It's so fast." Wang Yao couldn't help feeling disappointed when familiar people left one by one, but the meaning of Arthur's departure was different. Arthur was the only link between him and Gangzai. After leaving, Wang Yao had no way to know about his younger brother.

"What about you? When are you leaving?" Wang Yao raised his head and asked Al.

"I haven't decided yet." Al turned his face away.

Wang Yao lowered his head again and remained silent.

"Yao, did something happen to you?" Al heard about the riot in the teahouse a few days ago. At that time, he didn't connect it with Wang Yao, but today he heard that the person involved in that incident was Honda Chrysanthemum. , and also involved a Chinese man, Al immediately thought of Wang Yao, so he left his job at a foreign firm and came.

Wang Yao lowered his head even deeper, neither admitting nor denying it.

Al understood: "The incident at the teahouse has something to do with you, right? Did you go to see Honda Chrysanthemum again?"

Wang Yao smiled miserably: "I didn't go to him, I didn't go to him."

Al looked at Wang Yao, waiting for him to continue.

Wang Yao raised his face slowly: "Al, no matter what, please keep a secret for me."

Al nodded, gesturing for him to continue.

Want to tell Al everything?The person Wang Yao is most unwilling to deceive is Al, but the person he is least willing to hurt is also Al. Al was once unhappy because of Wang Yao's reservations, thinking that Wang Yao did not trust him enough, but when trust and protection conflicted , no one can have the best of both worlds.

Wang Yao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Wanwan has been under house arrest by Honda Ju for a long time. I begged a friend to rescue her. After that, I planned to take Wanwan away. We made an appointment to meet at the teahouse that night, but somehow I leaked the news and let that bastard Honda Ju find out that he captured Wanwan and my friend, and now the lives and deaths of a few people are unknown." He sighed and covered his eyes, as if these few words had exhausted him.

After listening to Wang Yao's narration, Al didn't know what it was like: "Have the Japanese become so arrogant? Are they blatantly arresting people in the concession?"

"I thought it was safe in the concession." Wang Yao said dejectedly, "When I think about what kind of crime Wanwan is suffering now, I feel extremely uncomfortable!"

Al didn't know what he expected. In the dark place in his heart, there was a voice that expected Wanwan to disappear from this world, so that nothing could hold Wang Yao back in this dangerous city.But if Wanwan really died, Wang Yao would be so heartbroken that he couldn't live, that was not the ending Al wanted to see.

"Yao, I know you're having a hard time, but do you think it's still possible to rescue your sister now?" Al said persuasively.

"As long as she is alive, she must be saved!" Wang Yao jumped up excitedly.

Alla sat down: "I'm sorry, I said too much."

"Wanwan is still in the hands of the Japanese, in the hands of that Honda chrysanthemum, how did I get into this evil!" Wang Yao tugged at his hair in pain.

Al gently held Wang Yao's hand, and took his hand from his hair: "Don't be so sad, I will go to Arthur to discuss whether I can negotiate with Honda Ju." Al was not sure about this, and Jardine Matheson Already preparing to withdraw from Shanghai, it is no longer possible to use the cooperative relationship to win favors at this time, but for Wang Yao's sake, I always have to try.

"I don't want to involve you anymore," Wang Yao sighed, "Ivan has tried his best to help me, but Honda Ju can always be one step ahead of us."

Hearing Ivan's name, Alton felt uncomfortable. He stood up: "Anyway, I will tell Arthur. You stay at home and don't cause trouble again."

Wang Yao raised his face and nodded uncertainly: "I have nowhere else to go."

Al put his hand on Wang Yao's shoulder, and pressed heavily: "Wait for my news." After that, it was the first time he didn't have to be chased away by others, and he left decisively.

After Al left, Wang Yao fell into loneliness again, and his restlessness once again controlled him. He couldn't stop thinking about what kind of torture Wanwan would suffer, and he was afraid that he would read the news of Wanwan's execution in the newspaper tomorrow morning.

That night Wang Yao had an endless nightmare, repeating Wanwan's death in the dream, Wanwan was shot to death by Honda Chrysanthemum in front of him again and again, but he couldn't move like being tied up, not even his eyes Shut up, he could only watch Wanwan helplessly call him for help, and then was shot in the head by Honda Ju.Finally, Wang Yao finally struggled to wake up, and found that Wanwan's one million deaths were all his dreams, and his heart was still as heavy as a millstone.

No matter how painful it is, the anxious mood cannot last forever. After several days of confusion, Wang Yao had to calm down and start to think seriously.Ivan comforted Wang Yao every day, saying that he would find a way to make Wang Yao and Wanwan all right, but Wang Yao didn't believe these gentle words, he clearly knew how capable Ivan was.

Xiaofei became Wang Yao's channel for getting information. She had the most contacts with the most miscellaneous people. Although her own ability to screen information was zero, there was always something valuable in the content she used as a chat material.

This day, Xiao Fei yelled again when she came back: "Oh! This is getting more and more uneven! The Japanese, just caught a few rebels a few days ago, and now the investigation is even stricter. All the guests were chased away, really let people live! Hey Brother Wang, do you know that there is a girl in this chaotic party, I heard that she is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was captured by the Japanese and she didn’t know how to spoil it Woolen cloth!"

Wang Yao was annoyed and angry: "The Japanese are all animals!"

Xiao Fei answered immediately: "That's right! Hey, I heard that the Japanese kept those few rebels from killing them in order to catch big fish for a long time, and they wanted to get rid of all the rebellious parties in Shanghai."

Wang Yao was startled when he heard this, and a flash of light flashed in his mind: "Look for a long line to catch big fish?"

"Yes, yes," Xiaofei said, "The revolutionary party in Shanghai has deep roots, and they have been active recently. Of course the Japanese want to catch them all!"

Wang Yao thought about it, he didn't care what Xiao Fei said later, he was full of thoughts about the Japanese and the Revolutionary Party.

"Brother Wang? Brother Wang?" Xiaofei's voice brought Wang Yao back to his senses.

It was only then that Wang Yao realized that he had been in a daze for a long time, and Xiao Fei yelled in his ear with a fussy face, that Ivan came back at some time, and was looking at him with concern.

Iwan pushed Xiao Fei away: "Don't talk about such nonsense!"

"Oh, I'm sorry! Brother Wang doesn't like to listen to me so I won't say anything, I won't say anything!" Xiaofei's mouth was still chattering non-stop.

Wang Yao shook his head and said: "It's okay, I was thinking about other things just now, I'm going to cook."

"Are you really okay?" Iwan asked after Wang Yao.

"It's all right, take the bowl and wait for dinner." Wang Yao entered the kitchen.
