Chapter 47 Encouragement
Lin Ruotang stared at Luo Yining's back with tears in her eyes. Why was this person so cold-blooded?
She seemed to have swallowed a lump of cotton wool and said in a hoarse voice:
"I really should let you see what Wang Shumei looks like now!"
Luo Yining paused, but still strode away.
She was unwilling to put Lin Ruotang and Xie Wuwei in danger for a disabled person. These two people were the biggest bargaining chips in her hand.
She was unwilling to be inferior to others. She would rather die than live a hopeless life like that. She wanted to make achievements and climb up the ladder. This was her only way out.
Lin Ruotang lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Only now did she clearly understand what she would face after her identity was exposed.
It was an inhumane, chilling torture that would give people nightmares.
She shuddered, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and buried her head in it.
"Knock down!"
Hearing the knock on the door, Lin Ruotang thought it was Luo Yining, turned around and faced the door, and said in a muffled voice:
"Enter!"
As if she didn't hear the footsteps, Lin Ruotang turned around and saw Xie Wuwei standing beside her bed. She sat up in surprise.
"How did you come?"
Xie Wuwei looked at Lin Ruotang's expression and saw that her eyes and nose were still red, which showed that she had just cried.
"I just called. Luo Yining said you were not feeling well. I came to see you."
Lin Ruotang curled her lips, seeming unwilling to say more.
"I saw Wang Shumei."
Hearing this, Lin Ruotang was like a wilted grass, hesitant to speak, and finally lay back in the quilt silently.
"Afraid?"
Xie Wuwei pulled her quilt, and only then did he see that Lin Ruotang's eyes were red.
"I don't!"
The voice was very soft, filled with a guilt that she herself was not aware of.
"Fear is a normal human reaction."
Hearing Xie Wuwei say this, Lin Ruotang wiped her tears, sat up again, looked into Xie Wuwei's eyes as deep as the ink sea, and said honestly:
"Well, I'm a little scared, but not too scared. I carry a poisoned pen with me. If I were discovered, I would never go into the interrogation room."
She said this because she was worried that she could not endure the torture and was still afraid of it in her heart.
Xie Wuwei didn't expect Lin Ruotang to think of that. He sighed and ran his rough big hands through Lin Ruotang's curly hair without a trace of ambiguity, only pity.
"I know you were just an ordinary person before, and you didn't even have much training. It's normal to be afraid. There's no need to be ashamed..."
Xie Wuwei had things in his heart that he couldn't say out loud. He was the backbone of the group and he couldn't show any of his emotions, otherwise Lin Ruotang would be even more scared.
Lin Ruotang raised her head and looked at Xie Wuwei's sharp chin. The man who was always aggressive now exuded a determined light, which dispelled the last trace of fear in Lin Ruotang's heart.
She was just an ordinary and timid person. She couldn't bear that kind of torture. She thought that as long as she died, she would not expose others.
Otherwise, if they are discovered, death will be a luxury for them.
Xie Wuwei looked at Lin Ruotang's stubborn face and whispered in her ear:
"Last time, in order to avoid exposing us, you had surgery. The 'Carrier Pigeon' even praised you, calling you a cautious 'Magpie'. You must have confidence in yourself. You are truly outstanding and the most promising person I have ever met."
The two of them were very close, and Lin Ruotang could hear the steady heartbeat in his chest. Her heart also calmed down. She asked quietly:
"Have you ever been afraid?"
Xie Wuwei was silent for a long time, his voice was very soft.
"I am even more afraid that we cannot stand up straight on our own land. I am afraid that we in this land will become slaves of invaders who will kill our compatriots, violate our sisters, and occupy our land."
After Xie Wuwei finished speaking, countless fallen comrades flashed through his mind.
Don't be afraid, you are not alone, 400 million compatriots are with you! "
"Even if we fall, there will still be countless 'Xie Wuwei' and 'Lin Ruotang'. We will definitely win. The power of the people is invincible. We have faith and strength."
Lin Ruotang heard this and sobbed softly.
"We will definitely win!"
She said silently in her heart,
"Because I come from a prosperous world paved with your blood!"
The two hugged each other tightly, without any other emotions, just simply feeling the power of faith in each other.
The door was suddenly opened, and Xie Wuwei's expression changed, returning to his ruffian-like self.
Luo Yining came in and saw the two hugging each other.
"Am I disturbing you?"
Xie Wuwei's eyes flashed with displeasure. Luo Yining never knocked on the door when she came in. He turned his head expressionlessly, his stiff brows furrowed.
"Remember to knock on the door next time."
He put Lin Ruotang down and followed Luo Yining out of the room.
He was standing at the gate of the Jin family smoking, and happened to see Jin Dayong. Jin Dayong saw Xie Wuwei, as if he saw a savior.
"Xiao Xie, why are you here?"
"I came to see Tangtang. She's feeling a little unwell."
After Xie Wuwei finished speaking, Jin Dayong winked at him and the two of them went to the study.
As soon as he arrived at the study, Jin Dayong said quickly:
"What should I do? Sekino Nagaku is such a dog. He's got the scent and is testing me overtly or covertly."
After he finished speaking, he walked around the room, looking a little anxious, and couldn't help asking:
"Are you sure you didn't tell him that I was involved in the drug incident last time?"
Xie Wuwei was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Isn't Sekino Chokushi tracking down the missing medicine and gold?"
As soon as these words came out, Jin Dayong slapped his head.
"It's not that I don't believe you, I just remembered that there was an auction before, and I listened to that guy Shen He and bought a pair of jade ornaments. He said that these things would be valuable in the future. I guess I was showing off my wealth."
Jin Dayong sighed, Xie Wuwei picked up the cigar on the table and handed it to Jin Dayong, Jin Dayong took it, and Xie Wuwei lit it.
"Director Jin, maybe he didn't believe what I said before. He probably guessed you were involved in the drug smuggling last time."
Jin Dayong took a puff of his cigar and then said:
"So what if he guessed it? He can't do anything to me, and he's already been paid. I heard he's recently celebrating the birthday of Chief of Staff Fujiwara's daughter. It seems he's trying to climb up the social ladder."
Xie Wuwei's eyes darkened. Thinking of Chief of Staff Fujiwara's birthday party, many high-ranking Japanese military officials would be there, and those traitors would definitely be there too. It would be a good day for assassination, so he immediately said:
"Director Jin, this is good news. Guan Ye Changquan must be short of money right now. As long as we can help him..."
Jin Dayong hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but say:
"Is there no other way?"
"We're here to apologize. After all, Director Jin, you hid this from him. He must be angry, but not mad. After all, he still relies on us to help him make money."
Jin Dayong had no choice but to pay money and tie Guan Ye Changquan to a boat again.
At this time, the atmosphere in Lin Ruotang's room was heavy.
"This is potassium cyanide. Give Starfish a ride."
Luo Yining placed a white pill on the table and took two steps before she suddenly said:
"Whether you can do it depends on your ability!"
Luo Yining closed the door casually and looked at Lin Ruotang's room behind him with a gloomy look in his eyes.
This is also the method Luo Yining came up with after repeated consideration. He cannot let Lin Ruotang feel disappointed now. If Lin Ruotang is not under his control, it will be troublesome, and Xie Wuwei will not take him seriously.
After Luo Yining left, Lin Ruotang bit her lip, her eyes firm as she sat up from the bed.
Lin Ruotang's mind is now extremely clear, and he plans what to do step by step.
Looking at the pills on the table, she took out a pen from the drawer, poured some water from the kettle, crushed the pills, mixed them in the water, and sucked them into the pen.
After Xie Wuwei left, he became a rickshaw driver and arrived at the meeting place.
