"Professor Ye, if you still have anger in your heart, you can do it a few more times," I said with a shy face.

"Hehe," Ye Lanxin couldn't help laughing, "Do you really think I'm a messy old woman?"

"Kidding, Professor Ye, we took the liberty to come to you this time, in fact, we wanted to learn something about the mystery of your ex-husband's background from you. As far as we know, your ex-husband Wang Xiaoshan is not Chinese. But we only know one thing, we don't know the other, and I ask you to give us advice. ”

Ye Lanxin suddenly raised her eyes and looked directly at me and said, "Can I dare to ask? Do you suspect that this leak of secrets in Huaguo has something to do with him?"

"Exactly. I nodded, solemnly.

Ye Lanxin's expression was grim, and there was a confused look in her eyes, as if she had fallen into some kind of memory.

I looked at each other and were silent, waiting for her to reply.

After a long while, Ye Lanxin sighed softly and said, "My father expected that there would be this day. It's a pity that as his only daughter, I failed to complete the task he entrusted me and became a deserter. It is really a shame to cultivate and nurture the country and the people. ”

I comforted him: "Professor Ye doesn't have to be like this, although Wang Xiaoshan is currently the most suspicious, we can't be sure that he has a direct connection with this matter." What's more, he is him, and you are you, even if it really involves him in the end. You have been divorced from him for 20 years, and no matter what he does, it has nothing to do with you, so why should you blame yourself, Professor Ye?"

Ye Lanxin's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, and she said forcibly: "After my father learned about his life experience, he often advised me to guide and persuade him, and never let him have too much to do with the Japanese forces, but in the end, I was powerless to find that Wang Xiaoshan was a stubborn person who was obsessed with deep obsession, and he could not be moved by words. He was unwilling to give up his identity as a Japanese, and he was also unwilling to give up his reputation and status in China. It is all my fault that he is now in a shameless act that has brought disaster to the country and the people. ”

I couldn't help but ask: "Why did Professor Ye say this? Even if we now confirm that he is a Japanese spy in China, what does that have to do with you? Could it be that Wang Xiaoshan had already committed some shameless act 20 years ago?"

Ye Lanxin nodded again and again, teary eyes.

Lie Shengnan hurriedly handed over a pack of tissues and gave her an encouraging look.

Ye Lanxin nodded in thanks, took out a tissue, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then told the story.

Back then, as a high-achieving student who returned from studying in Japan, Wang Xiaoshan was ambitious and high-spirited. As a university tutor who recommended him to study abroad, my father Ye Zhengxing has a deep relationship with him as a mentor and apprentice. Therefore, on the day Wang Xiaoshan returned from studying abroad, he came to Tianxin Medical University as soon as possible, looked for my father to thank the teacher, and prepared a table of thank-you banquet on the Yingfeng Tower, the largest restaurant in Tianxin City at that time. Be sure to be there as a family. My father was very pleased to see that his protégé was so attentive. ”

So, he gladly took me and my mother and the whole family to the banquet together. It was at this banquet that I met Wang Xiaoshan for the first time. Although I had heard the name of this young talent of the same age from my father countless times before, when I first saw Wang Xiaoshan himself, I was immediately deeply attracted by his unique temperament. ”

"At that time, I was innocent and thought that it was poetry and books, but many years later, I realized that that unique temperament was actually an exotic style. Wang Xiaoshan has been Japanese since he was born, although he grew up in China, his parents are Japanese. I later learned that his father was already thirteen years old when he was adopted by the Chinese, and he had received an orthodox Japanese militarist education, although it was not long, but it was deep in the marrow. This kind of education, in the subtle ink, has gradually penetrated into Wang Xiaoshan's bone marrow, so his father, when he was born, had already given him a Japanese name, called Koyama Kazuo. ”

This name, from childhood to adulthood, has been hidden deep in his heart, and only in front of the Japanese can it be truly revealed. Even I, a few years after marrying him, learned the truth from the mouth of a Chinese translator who knew Japanese. ”

It turned out that in front of the Japanese, he had always claimed to be of Chinese-Japanese descent, and he had always called himself Kazuo Koyama, saying that Wang Xiaoshan was just his Chinese name, just as it was normal for many Japanese to have English names. He worked hard to establish his own character in front of the Japanese, so he quickly became one with those Japanese who came to China to look for investment, and they called each other brothers and sisters. ”

He used the network of contacts that he has been deeply cultivating in China for 30 years, quickly bridged the contradiction between the official representatives of China who are eager to attract investment and the capital predators who are eager to invest in Japan, and has promoted a number of major joint venture projects one after another, greatly promoting the cultural and economic exchanges between China and Japan, and thus laying the cornerstone of his own career and becoming a successful ambassador of cultural and economic exchanges between China and Japan. ”

"All this is a positive and good thing for the country and the people. Therefore, I have been hiding from him that he thinks he is Japanese. Later, one night, he got drunk, and under my repeated questioning, he finally confessed his true identity as a Japanese remnant in China, and begged me not to tell my teacher, that is, my father, Ye Zhengxing, about this. ”

"During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were many martyrs who died for the country, and those painful experiences are still vivid, and my father was a very traditional Chinese literati, and he was worried that my father would not be able to tolerate his deception, so he broke with him. I also feel that if my father and I had known that he was a descendant of Japanese remnants, we would never have recommended him to study in Japan. It is impossible to agree to any dealings between me and him. Our marriage was based on a lie. Knowing all this, I felt cold all over my body, like falling into an ice cave, and I never thought that I would marry a pure Japanese. ”

But at that time, the country had entered a period of rapid economic and cultural development, and everything was changing with each passing day. Sino-Japanese relations have also been developing rapidly and have long been different from the past. I privately thought that there was nothing wrong with the deception of their whole family back then. This is an act of self-preservation. ”

"Just imagine, if he had exposed his Japanese identity since he was a child, it would be impossible for him to grow into a qualified high-achieving student smoothly in that historical period in China, and it is unknown whether he could receive an education. Therefore, although I did not forgive him on the lips, in fact, in my heart, I was full of sympathy for him. just sighed at the ruthlessness of fate, and complained about why he was so obsessed with him back then. It didn't bother to expose him in the slightest. Later, after my father heard some rumors, he deliberately tried to protect him, until one day, I discovered an even more terrible truth. ”
