The bearded man is a Chinese-American, Chinese named Yin Zhihong, who once taught at St. John and is now Xie Yuelan's boyfriend. To be honest, Chu Jiao has only met the bearded man once, and her impression is not very good, but she can't say what's wrong.

"Gillian, you should persuade Yuelan not to be with that guy." Chu Tian continued: "He is a dangerous element. ”

Chu Jiao shook her head and said, "I persuaded my cousin, but she couldn't listen. As long as it is related to anti-Japanese resistance, she will do it, and by the way, her impression of Yin Zhihong will improve. After a pause, she smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, haven't you heard that sentence, the IQ of a woman in love is zero." ”

Chu Tian blinked his eyes and thought about it, smiled helplessly, and said, "I hope that my sister will not become like that one day, and no one will listen to her words." ”

"That's—definitely not." Chu Jiao is quite confident in this.

Turning into the alley, the car slowly stopped. When the newspaper arrived, Chu Tian and Chu Jiao looked at the smashed windows, and then walked into the newspaper hall, Xie Yuelan saw them and hurriedly greeted them.

"What's going on?" Chu Jiao wanted to know the details of what happened.

Xie Yuelan shrugged her shoulders and said, "That's it when we get here. ”

"It's a good thing you're not here, if something happens—" Chu Tian said with a frown.

"If we're here, they won't dare to do anything?" Xie Yuelan said stubbornly: "It's just that a few gangsters want to scare us away, we will be more careful in the future." After a pause, she frowned again and said, "The bodyguard my brother is looking for is unreliable, Gillian, didn't you say that you would arrange it for me?" ”

"Didn't my cousin find a brother from the patrol room, I thought you didn't need it anymore." Chu Jiao shrugged her shoulders and said, "Do you know who did it?" Is there a specific name or something? ”

"Some gang members." Yin Zhihong came over and said, "A traitor scum who was bought and used by the Japanese." ”

"It could also be that the government is dissatisfied with your remarks." Chu Tian had to contradict and said: "I have read your newspapers, not only scolding the Japanese as barbaric and cruel dwarves, but also speaking ill of the government. ”

"It's well-intentioned criticism." Yin Zhihong sternly corrected: "Moreover, the two parties are now united in resistance to Japan and have formed a united front. Therefore, this sabotage was not done by the Kuomintang. ”

Chu Jiao secretly pulled Chu Tian's clothes and stopped Chu Tian's rebuttal.

It's not too much to scold the Japanese for being ruthless, but there is a real danger, especially her cousin, Chu Jiao is caught in a contradiction. She looked at Xie Yuelan, her cousin's expression had already expressed dissatisfaction with Chu Tian.

"Cousin-" Chu Jiao greeted with little movement, and entered the office with Xie Yuelan.

The office is small, with a rudimentary iron desk and two folding chairs.

Chu Jiao first pulled out a chair and asked her cousin to sit down, and then she sat opposite her cousin and muttered for a long time before she spoke: "It's not a way to go on like this, and I'm afraid adding bodyguards won't solve the problem." That's-"

"We're not going to back down." Xie Yuelan said resolutely: "We are collecting and exposing the crimes of the Japanese, as well as the gang leaders who are fighting for the tigers. The gang leaders were very close to the KMT, and if they became traitors, the KMT would abandon them. ”

"I'm afraid that's why the bomb was dropped, right?" Chu Jiao seemed to say to herself: "This may be the revenge and intimidation of the gang figures, but it may not be instigated by the Japanese." After all, it is not your family that is propagating anti-Japanese resistance in the concession. It's just that the gang may not have much scruple about acting. Cousin, I'm really worried about your safety. ”

"Yin Zhihong has a U.S. passport and friends to scout for us, which is very helpful." Xie Yuelan said with a smile: "Just now, the patrol room has promised to send additional guards to prevent such incidents from happening. As for my safety, there should be no problem with Zhihong. ”

Chu Jiao stared at Xie Yuelan with some suspicion, and asked tentatively, "Together?" What is the meaning? It can't be- hehe, definitely not, right? ”

"I've moved out of my house and live with Zhihong." Xie Yuelan didn't have a shameful expression, and said very calmly: "Fighting for the united front, fighting for the anti-Japanese struggle, nothing can tie me up anymore." ”

Chu Jiao's mouth opened into an O-shape, and she didn't close it for a long time. Although this cohabitation was not shocking at the time, she still did not react for a long time.

The sound of quarreling came from outside the house again, Xie Yuelan frowned, got up and left. Chu Jiao sighed helplessly and slowly followed.

Chu Tian and Yin Zhihong quarreled again, and the strange thing was that there was a uniformed patrolman standing at the door, watching and listening expressionlessly.

"You say that you are Chinese, and you love the motherland to interfere in China's politics, but you don't take a Chinese passport, this is really a clever two-sided bet!" Chu Tian sneered sarcastically.

"My passport is just a strategic convenience." Yin Zhihong sternly retorted: "It's just a useful document, that's all." ”

"Is it like a marriage certificate? You lie-barred scumbag. Chu Jiao just glanced at the patrol next to the door, and vented her dissatisfaction at Yin Zhihong, and the words almost blurted out.

For some reason, she suddenly hated this guy with an antique mustache in a messy tent, and the scene of the bearded face on her cousin's chest flashed in her mind, and she felt even more blocked. This big badass, big liar!

"Worldly prejudices." It was Xie Yuelan who ridiculed her, she probably didn't expect Chu Jiao to suddenly become cold and stern, was it love, or instinct, anyway, she didn't waver, "Gillian, I didn't expect your mind to be still in the feudal era." ”

The four eyes looked at each other angrily.

Chu Jiao didn't say anything more, withdrew her gaze, turned around and left. She didn't even glance at the patrol when she passed the door.

At this time, it is superfluous to say anything, a liar is doing the right thing, a woman is not only fighting for her ideals, but also falling in love, this is really difficult to figure out the complexity. While walking, Chu Jiao was still thinking angrily and helplessly.

That's right, it's Chu Jiao, the girl she once dominated and controlled. When Shen Chen passed by Chu Jiao angrily, he gave way very knowingly, and the two passed by.

But then, Shen Chen walked out of the newspaper hall.

The unexpected encounter with Chu Jiao would of course cause a fluctuation in his heart, but that was all. He didn't know what had happened to Chu Jiao, and how these changes were actually influenced by him.

I will only start my duty tomorrow, and today's leisure is to be enjoyed. What's more, Shen Chen still has important things to do. Renting a house and living alone is safe and convenient.
