Chapter 220 Invitation to Live Together
Takahashi Yui hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell Jiang Shiyuan about the "Sakura" operation.
"Ayako, I have something to tell you."
"what is the matter?"
"Senior Sister Yunzi, she received a secret mission from Mr. Doihara."
"What mission?"
"Next month we will secretly arrest an important Red Party member who will come to Shanghai."
Jiang Shiyuan was shocked but remained calm.
"Red Party members?"
"Yeah." Takahashi Yui nodded and sighed, "This mission is not easy, and..."
He paused, seeming to find it difficult to speak.
"And what?" Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Besides, Senior Sister Yunzi actually didn't let me tell you..."
"Ah? Why? Am I not also your colleague?" Jiang Shiyuan pretended to be confused.
"She said... because you are not a real Japanese."
Takahashi Yui's voice was low, with a hint of helplessness and anger.
Jiang Shiyuan sneered in his heart, but a hurt expression appeared on his face.
"It turns out... in her and the teacher's eyes, I have always been an outsider."
"Ayako, don't be sad, that's not what I meant..." Takahashi Yui hurriedly explained.
"I know you never think so." Jiang Shiyuan forced a smile and said, "I'm just... a little disappointed."
She lowered her eyes to hide the coldness in them.
"Operation Sakura..."
Jiang Shiyuan repeated the code name in a low voice. It seemed that she had to pass on the message as soon as possible.
"Youyi, you must be more careful on this mission."
"I will." Takahashi Yui clenched his fists. "I am willing to give everything to end this war as soon as possible."
Jiang Shiyuan looked at his determined eyes and felt a little uncomfortable.
She knew that Takahashi Yui was a kind-hearted man who longed for peace, but he was just overwhelmed by the cruelty of war.
And she must find a way to make him see more of the truth about the atrocities committed by the Japanese pirates.
If possible, she would like to convert him into her own.
The cold wind was howling outside the window, making the window frames creak.
The two people in the room sat in silence, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Only the bright yellow sunflowers emit a soft glow in the sun, as if telling something silently.
At this time, Jiang Shiyuan took the initiative to break the silence and asked with concern: "Youyi, do you have a place to live in Shanghai?"
"I don't have a fixed place to live yet, but the Military Police Headquarters arranged a Fujisan Apartment for me nearby."
Takahashi Yui paused, as if mustering up his courage, and continued, "After you finish your work at Sacred Heart Hospital, you can also move to Fujisan Apartment."
"It will be very convenient for commuting to get off work, and it will be very close to me..." He hurriedly added, with a glimmer of anticipation behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
Jiang Shiyuan couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Was he trying to keep a close eye on her?
Or, does he want to take his relationship to the next level?
"I don't want to live here for the time being." Jiang Shiyuan declined awkwardly, with a barely perceptible hint of alienation in his tone.
"I'm used to living in the International Apartments in the French Concession. I don't like moving all the time. It makes me feel like I don't belong."
She paused, then added with a smile, "Anyway, I have a car, and the drive from the International Apartments to the Military Police Headquarters takes only half an hour, so it's not a hassle."
When Takahashi Yui heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
He pushed up the frame of his glasses and smiled gently, "Well, after all, it's your freedom to live wherever you want. I'm just making a suggestion."
"First, you should take care of your work at Sacred Heart Hospital this week and complete the resignation handover."
"You will officially report to the Special High Section at 9am next Monday."
"Got it, Section Chief Takahashi!" Jiang Shiyuan stood up, stood at attention and saluted.
Takahashi Yui held his forehead helplessly, "Ayako, there's no need for this between you and me."
"Of course, if it's a formal occasion, you still need to pretend."
Jiang Shiyuan smiled and said, "I know, I was just teasing you just now!"
As she spoke, she picked up her pearl handbag and waved at him, "Youyi, I'll be leaving first. See you next Monday!"
"Okay, see you next Monday." Takahashi Yui stood up and saw him off in a gentlemanly manner.
Jiang Shiyuan walked to the door and suddenly stopped.
"By the way, Yui." She turned around and looked at Takahashi Yui.
"That Sakura Operation..." She paused, and said with worry, "You must be careful. I'm still a little worried."
Takahashi Yui felt warm in his heart when he saw her concerned eyes.
He nodded solemnly, "Ayako, I will act cautiously, you don't have to worry."
Jiang Shiyuan smoothed his hair and said with a smile, "That's good. I'm leaving now. Sayonara!"
Takahashi Yui walked her to the office door and watched her figure disappear at the end of the corridor.
Then he took a deep breath and turned back to his desk.
He looked at the bunch of bright sunflowers in the vase, smiled knowingly, and then continued to pack up.
Jiang Shiyuan walked out of the Special Higher Section's office building with light steps, but unexpectedly saw Nanzō Yunko, who was smoking a cigarette with her right hand, at the door of the building.
"What a coincidence, Junior Sister Ayako, you're going back so soon?" Nanzō Yunko blew out a smoke ring and smiled with her lips curved.
Jiang Shiyuan pretended to be unaware of Nanzō Yunko's prejudice, and fully played the role of a little fan of an excellent senior.
"Ahhh, Senior Sister Yunzi looks so handsome even when she's smoking!"
"Oh, your damn charm that has nowhere to go!" She held her face with both hands, acting like a crazy fan.
Nanzō Yunko was somewhat amused by Jiang Shiyuan's unique way of praising her. She threw the almost burnt cigarette butt at her feet and put it out with her leather combat boots.
Then he crossed his arms, looked at her with interest, and said with a smile: "It seems that Junior Sister Ayako watched a lot of Hollywood movies when she was studying in the United States!"
"But it's better to watch less of that kind of movies. It's easy to be misled and ruin the place!" She said, and deliberately touched her temple with her hand.
"Ah? Why do Hollywood movies ruin people's brains?" Jiang Shiyuan was very puzzled and asked immediately.
Unexpectedly, Nanzō Yunko turned around and waved with her back to her, saying loudly, "See you next Monday, Junior Sister Ayako!"
Jiang Shiyuan saw that she had completely gone away, and then he put away the naive expression he had been pretending to have.
She gathered the red cashmere scarf around her neck, walked quickly to the parking lot, and slowly drove away in the black Ford sedan that had a pass from the Military Police Command.
Jiang Shiyuan glanced at the gendarmerie headquarters building in the rearview mirror, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes.
"Operation Sakura..." She repeated the code name in a low voice, secretly planning the next plan in her mind.
She had to pass on this message as quickly as possible while also protecting herself.
This game lurking in the dark has just begun...
