Chapter 111: I don't know if I want to continue to help you
I looked at Gu Zuoyan in front of me dumbfounded, and he was also looking at me with interest. I really can't figure out how thick a person's skin must be to be so natural to make such an impersonal request to someone without being half ashamed. I puffed out my face in dissatisfaction, and the floor-to-ceiling mirror projected that I looked like an angry pufferfish.
In order to calm my mood and avoid being led by the nose by the person in front of me, I took the time to drink coffee and let me quickly go through several questions in my mind. However, the bitterness of the coffee was beyond my surprise and made me frown involuntarily.
I smacked my lips and said helplessly, "I used to believe in your words, but now I don't. You asked me to approach Cao Yu'an, and I also investigated; You asked me to check Cao Yu'an, and I checked it too. But if you look at the results, it's not that you can't find any clues. I always believe that no matter how capable the bad guys are, they will always show their feet. But Cao Yu'an couldn't find any flaws after so long, I believe that he is not too good at acting, but really fine. β
I knew that the person on the other side was weighing the credibility of my words, but the twinkle in his eyes clearly told me that he didn't trust my judgment. I lowered my head and carefully stirred the liquid in the cup with a small silver spoon: "And I am about to marry him now, and I will inevitably feel guilty for finding out the news for you so secretly." Unless you can give me a good reason, I don't know if I'm going to continue to help you. β
It was obviously a completely unexpected situation, but there was neither loss nor shock on Gu Zuoyan's face, on the contrary, he still smiled lightly as he did most of the time: "Oh? So you're going to tell me that your husband and wife are of the same heart, and your original sense of justice and mission will be written off? β
He knew me very well and hit me right as soon as he opened his mouth. And I am also very cooperative every time, and I have never been able to be as calm and breezy as he is. I shook my head: "It's not that I've changed, it's that I feel at a loss." It's not that I don't want to help you, but you'll have to come up with enough reasons to convince me. β
Gu Zuoyan stretched out his slender fingers and tapped lightly on the table, I thought this was a manifestation of his inner anxiety, but I didn't expect that after a few clicks, a gentleman sitting deep suddenly sat next to me and Gu Zuoyan with a cocktail glass. He politely handed us his business card and introduced himself in a matter-of-fact manner.
My emotions gradually changed from the initial shock to the realization that Gu Zuoyan's actions were to convey some kind of message to his companion, and the other party would immediately appear after receiving this kind of information, which gave me a new level of understanding of the special profession of "spy". It seems that the situation that Gu Zuoyan usually faces is much more exciting than I imagined.
The man who followed the sound claimed to be surnamed Wei, and his full name was "Wei Guojia". I didn't think of Wei Zifu, the famous queen of the Western Han Dynasty, whose life is the same as her name, for the son and the husband. So I can be sure that this "Wei Guojia" is definitely not my real name. But his thoughts are well expressed through this name, and what he does is also a true portrayal of "for the country", just hope that his road will not be difficult.
Seeing that I was still thinking freely, he took the initiative to talk to me: "Miss Zhu, thank you very much for your support and dedication to the cause of the war during this time. You may think that what you are doing is a trivial matter, but for us, without your help, not only would our work not be able to carry out smoothly, but in some ways it would almost be impossible to move an inch. So........." He suddenly stopped and looked at me quietly, and the just right amount of silence showed his seriousness and seriousness: "Please stop being presumptuous, and please seriously consider what you have just said." β
I can righteously reject Gu Zuoyan, but this Mr. Wei's words have a kind of magic, which makes people powerless to refuse and at the same time can't help but follow his train of thought. I didn't realize that my tone had softened, and my old tough attitude had softened as much as my tone.
Rather reluctantly, I repeated what I meant: "My tone just now is not very good, but I don't mean that I don't want to cooperate with you anymore. I think you should know that I'm about to marry Cao Yu'an. In your eyes, he may be a heinous villain, who is doing things that harm the motherland and the people while secretly communicating with the Japanese. Originally...... I used to be suspicious of him, but after all this time I didn't find even a clue. No matter what happens, there must be evidence, I really can't find evidence of Cao Yu'an's treason, I don't think I can doubt my fiancΓ© without evidence. β
Wei Guojia thought for a moment and agreed with my words: "I understand your situation, so I won't force you to do anything. But I want you an answer, if we have conclusive evidence that Mr. Cao does have a cooperative relationship with the Japanese secret services, will you continue to help us continue to collect intelligence? β
I didn't answer him directly, but I asked, "But then didn't I send him to prison with my own hands?" β
Wei Guojia smiled and leaned his back on the back of the chair, his hands around his chest showed the prudence and nervousness in his heart, which was by no means the relaxed state of mind when they met just now. He was silent for a few seconds and suddenly laughed, with a smile on his face, as if he had heard something happy: "Miss Zhu is really interesting." But I really can't argue with that. Originally, our work was hard and dangerous, and there was not necessarily a good reward. As you said, you did something for us, and maybe even put your husband in it, which is doing you more harm than good. However, if everyone had looked ahead and feared, no one would have thrown themselves into the torrent of revolution, and the Japanese might have really destroyed China in three months. So, what I want to say is that it takes courage and selflessness to spill your head and blood, and what you've done before is a good proof that you have these qualities. The current situation may make you feel that you are busy and helpless, and you may want to give yourself a little time to think about the way forward. β
He said as he took out the bill from his wallet and put it on the table: "In that case, we don't bother, you think carefully, we are going to go to our own work." You have Xiao Gu's contact information, and when you figure it out, you can naturally contact him. He didn't wait for me to speak, then put on his coat and said something to Gu Zuoyan, and the two of them walked away.
