At this time, Meixiang, who was wearing a cheongsam and stockings, was sitting side by side on the large single sofa. With one hand, she held the small pistol and rested it on the leg exposed at the slit of the cheongsam.

He looked at the Japs who came in with disdain and arrogance, their faces full of lust.

Diagonally opposite her, Youmei was sitting dignifiedly. She didn't seem to care about the Japs who broke in. Instead, she focused all her attention on the Guangling San piece played by Tao Canhua not far away.

"rest assured"

Wei Ran stood behind Mei Xiang's sofa and said, while gently touching the other party's slender neck with the bayonet blade hidden in his sleeve.

When the sharp and cold tip of the knife touched her neck and caused delicate goosebumps, Mei Xiang felt at ease inexplicably and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Wei Ran also temporarily put back the Mauser bayonet hidden in his sleeve into the metal book, and looked at the Japanese who surrounded them with a smile.

"What are you going to do?"

Yumi stood up with a cold face and asked coldly in Japanese just as the Japanese soldier with the rank of Commander Cao was about to walk towards Meixiang.

"we are..."

"Snapped!"

Before Cao could finish his words, Yumei slapped him in the face, "Who asked you to come here? Call your commander over!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After this slap, the rosy-faced Cao Zhang was also a little confused, but after taking a closer look at the kimono on Yumi's body, he immediately

His expression changed, he bowed his head and said "Hi!", and then hurriedly greeted the few Japanese who followed him and temporarily retreated into the yard.

"Sorry, Sister Meixiang, I frightened you." Yumi said apologetically while squeezing the hand she had just used.

"It's okay" Mei Xiang quickly stood up and waved her hands, "They..."

"Leave it to me," Yumi thought for a while and said, "I want to go upstairs and make a phone call."

"Okay, I'll go with you." Meixiang followed Youmi to the second floor without saying a word.

"It's pretty much like that..."

Wei Ran muttered to himself. He was not stupid. He could naturally tell that most of the time this group of devils came here to cooperate in the acting. As for the final result of the acting, whether he would directly ransack the house and turn it upside down, or let Youmei sell it.

If favors are completely penetrated, I'm afraid it all depends on whether Yumi found anything "forbidden" in the book apartment in the past few days.

At the moment, it seems that Yumi probably has nothing to gain. The man behind her, Mr. Ueda, is probably preparing to continue to take root with the help of this love letter.

Just as he was thinking wildly downstairs, a Japanese sedan also stopped at the door of the study apartment. Following him, Yukio Someya, who was wearing a suit, also pushed the door and got out of the car with Junko Someya, who was wearing a kimono.

, ignoring the few Japanese who bowed to them, and hurriedly walked into the study apartment.

"Are Miss Meixiang and Miss Yumi okay?" Junko Someya asked hurriedly as soon as they entered the door.

"fine"

Wei Ran replied with a grateful face, "Miss Youmei had just dismissed the soldiers and is now on the phone upstairs."

Hearing this, Someya and his wife breathed a sigh of relief, and then Yukio Someya said, "Wei Ran, come here and help."

"good"

Wei Ran nodded, and looked at each other without trace at Jasmine again, and then followed Yukio Sometani out of the hall, helping him take out a few suitcases from the trunk of the car.

"Mr. Sometani, what is this?"

"I will be interviewing those soldiers in the next few days. To facilitate my activities, I plan to ask Miss Meixiang to borrow a house as a temporary office."

Yukio Sometani replied seriously, "After all, I live in the Japanese Concession. Although it's not far from here, it's not as convenient as this, so I asked Mr. Wei Ran to help negotiate a deal. Of course, I will pay the rent."

"Mr. Someya, you're welcome."

Wei Ran said with a grateful look on his face that he didn't know what the other party was thinking. This couple with Japanese nationality planned to protect Meixiang and everyone in this book apartment through their reputation as journalists.

By the time he helped Someya Yukio carry several heavy suitcases with the Asahi Shimbun stamped on them into the lobby on the first floor, Meixiang and Yumi had also returned to the first floor and were talking to Someya in kimono.

Shunzi was sitting on the sofa, listening to Tao Canhua playing music on the guqin and talking about something in Japanese.

At the same time, the suitcases belonging to Youmei that had just been moved into the storage room were also moved upstairs by Jasmine and a few young men.

Seeing Wei Ran and Yukio Sometani come in, Meixiang immediately stood up and said hello, then switched to her native language and ordered, "Cousin, in the next few days, the storage room will be lent to Mr. Sometani for office use. You and your brothers

Please help me organize it and see what is missing and buy it in time."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Wei Ran immediately responded and sent the things belonging to Yukio Sometani into the storage room.

As soon as the Sometani and his wife's belongings were placed, a Japanese lieutenant hurriedly walked into the yard. Without saying a word, he slapped each of the Japs a few times, and then said something to the Japs.

Soon, the soldiers who just broke in quickly ran out of the study apartment and guarded the door of the study apartment.

Immediately afterwards, the lieutenant also walked to the door and knocked lightly.

"Invite him to go upstairs to talk?" Yumi suggested to Meixiang in Japanese, and stood up at the same time, "Mr. Someya, Mrs. Junko, let's go upstairs together?"

"good"

Someya Yukio nodded, took his wife, and followed Yumi up to the second floor.

"Jasmine, please ask the soldiers outside to go up to the second floor. The others are waiting on the first floor." Mei Xiang ordered as she stood up, and then followed Youmi up to the second floor.

It was only then that Jasmine opened the door, politely invited the lieutenant in, and led the lieutenant up to the second floor amidst the unstoppable guqin music.

What these people talked about on the second floor was unknown to Wei Ran and others downstairs. But before Tao Canhua finished playing the music, the lieutenant hurried downstairs and bowed politely to Wei Ran and others.

After bowing, he quickly left the study apartment.

Soon after, Mei Xiang and Someya also walked downstairs.

"Let Shunzi take care of Miss Yumi here."

Yukio Sometani stopped and said, "I have to go out for interviews, so I won't delay here."

"Be careful along the way," Mei Xiang said gratefully.

Yukio Sometani nodded, looked at each other again with his wife, then walked into the storage room that temporarily belonged to him, took out a camera, walked out of the study apartment alone, and got into a car that was already waiting at the door.

Sidecar motorcycle.

"Everything is business as usual," Mei Xiang told Wei Ran and others, "There is no need to close the courtyard door."

"Where are Qiushi and the others?" Jasmine asked.

After a moment of hesitation, Mei Xiang said, "Let them hide in the basement for a while."

"What should I do about Miss Youmei's illness?" Wei Ran asked the second question immediately.

"Don't worry"

It was Junko Sometani who answered Wei Ran, "The soldier just now went to help Miss Yumei find a doctor."

Having said this, Someya Junko looked at Meixiang and said, "I'll go up and take care of Yumi first. You can arrange your people first."

"Sorry for bothering Mrs. Junko." Meixiang thanked her politely, watched Junko Sometani go upstairs, and then sighed quietly.

"What's going on now?" Wei Ran asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Yumi and Someya serve as guarantees."

Meixiang said tiredly, "The Japanese outside shouldn't make things difficult for us for the time being, but our people can't get out for the time being. I'm afraid... we'll be walking on thin ice from now on."

"I understand, Mr. Someya, Yumi... what did she use as a guarantee?" Wei Ran asked doubtfully.

"Whether she refuses to listen to her pledge, it's hard to say whether it's true or not." Mei Xiang sighed with a particularly sober look, obviously not blinded by the drama just now.

"How will the next play be performed?" Wei Ran asked Mei Xiang in a low voice as he looked at the Japs standing guard outside the courtyard.

"I don't know either..." Mei Xiang sighed, almost mumbling, "Let's take a step and see..."

"Then let's take one step at a time..."

Wei Ran sighed and felt that the confusion and despair that permeated Mei Xiang's body had become so thick that it seemed to have substance.

Just when Meixiang was worried about the life and death of everyone in Xu Qing Letter Apartment and the four girls hidden under Xu Qing Letter Apartment, the lieutenant devil who left before also brought with him a man wearing a white coat, but there was something hidden inside.

A middle-aged man wearing a Japanese military uniform and carrying a medicine box walked into the yard.

"Let's finish singing the current scene first."

As she spoke, Mei Xiang put out her cigarette butts, opened the closed door with a smile on her face, walked out first, and met the two... enemies who were about to walk up the steps.

Behind Mei Xiang, Wei Ran, who was watching silently, sighed secretly.

On this extremely cold morning of December 8, 1941, those arrogant Japanese soldiers did not yet realize what the opening of the Pacific Theater meant to them.
