The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Jiang Cheng sighed.

This woman may be pitiful, but the complicated interests and the intertwined power conflicts involved cannot be explained in a few words.
As a woman, Yu Fengzhi felt sorry for Duan Xinyu, a victim of politics... But think about it carefully, in this great era, how many women were poor and didn't even have the chance to grow up.

Some even ended up in a place of fireworks, with a miserable ending...

"Sister, I don't know how to reply to you."

Jiang Cheng understood that she was moved by the scene. After all, as a woman, the suffering she experienced after marriage was enough to make her empathize with Miss Duan to the greatest extent.

"But Fei Lan must have taken what elder sister said to heart—"

Looking back at Yu Fengzhi's expression, Jiang Cheng felt sorry for a moment, and then he thought that his business and stocks depended on the daughter-in-law of the old Zhang family, and immediately said,

"From now on, I will definitely be nicer to Duan...ah, I mean, I will be nicer to Xinyu."

Yu Fengzhi heard the reluctance in his tone, but did not expose him on the spot. Instead, she just shook her head and smiled, gave him a few instructions in a very calm manner, and then said goodbye.

The gentle smile on Jiang Cheng's face suddenly disappeared when he watched Yu Fengzhi's figure disappear deep in the corridor.

Jiang Cheng turned his face away with a cold expression, nodded to Xu Fushan who just came over and said, "Tomorrow morning, report everything about the Marshal's Mansion to the Assistant Marshal."

Understanding what their leader meant, the guards immediately stood at attention and knocked their boots.

Jiang Cheng then turned around and walked in. However, as he closed the door, he took out a cigarette from his inner pocket.

"What are you still pretending?"

Jiang Cheng sat down heavily on the sofa, crossed his legs and said to the woman on the bed, "You don't have to pretend in front of me, right?"

no answer.

But Jiang Cheng clearly felt that the woman was holding her breath. Just now, he clearly sensed that Duan Xinyu was extremely nervous. However, now——

"You're still planning on pretending with me, aren't you?"

Faced with the woman's silence, Jiang Cheng suddenly became angry. He pressed the half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray in front of him and stood up.

She immediately gasped, but Jiang Cheng suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her up.

Before anything could happen, a small heavy object fell from her body, hitting the ground with a crisp sound.

Even without looking, Jiang Cheng knew that this girl actually hid a weapon close to her body.

"What do you want to do?"

Pushing her onto the bed, Jiang Cheng slowly bent down and picked up the shiny dagger. "Oh, that's interesting!"

"How come you, a rich lady from the capital, have something like this on you?"

The woman sitting sideways on the bed supported her weak body with one hand, and covered her right face tightly with the other hand...

She almost buried her whole body in her curly long hair, shaking like a fallen leaf in the biting cold wind outside the window.

"Still not talking, are you?"

Jiang Cheng sneered, "The origin of your knife is easy to find out... If I find out, or report it to Master Shuai and let them find out, you will definitely be thrown into the military law enforcement department."

At this point, his tone became even colder, and even more so, a bit more threatening and mischievous. "A beautiful girl like you, if thrown there, would probably be a piece of delicious fat meat, right?"

Suddenly, Duan Xinyu shook as if she had received an electric shock. She didn't know where she got the strength from. She stood up and rushed towards Jiang Cheng like a madman: "Jiang Cheng! I, I... you are a villain who only cares about reputation. I will kill you. I will do this now."

On the one hand, they loudly rebuked him for his shamelessness and baseness, and actually scolded him for how shameless he was, and how he used his silver tongue to deceive his superiors and subordinates;
He relied on nepotism to get to the top, but ended up killing all the heroes who had contributed to his career.

Jiang Cheng frowned, but he soon understood: this girl must have a close relationship with the Cai family.

Otherwise, why are all these words centered around the previous 2nd Regiment and the Cai Family?

Jiang Cheng suddenly seemed to remember something, and his voice was a little surprised: "I remember now, you are Cai Yuanming's..."

When we were in the Military Academy, several brothers had joked about recognizing each other as relatives more than once...

But no matter who it was, except for the few who were actually getting married, no one took the joke seriously.

Cai Yuanming mentioned twice that he had a childhood sweetheart; at that time, Bao Yulin and Wu Taixun often joked about this, saying that he was bragging.

But no one expected that this childhood sweetheart would actually go around in circles and...

"I understand. The assassination of me in Tianjin was also arranged by your father and Cai Yuanming, right?"

This was like pulling out a radish with dirt. Jiang Cheng grabbed her elbow and pressed her heavily against the wall.

Whether in terms of body shape or physical strength, he completely crushed her. "Also, you put on this drama today just to embarrass me in Fengtian and the Marshal's Mansion, right?"

Duan Xinyu twisted her body with all her might, but when she found that all her efforts were in vain, she gave up struggling and stared at Jiang Cheng viciously:

"Yes! It was my father who arranged it... You are lucky that he didn't kill you, a despicable person-ah!"

I used a little force on her shoulder, and the fragile beauty was in so much pain that she was completely speechless.

"It seems that you not only want to kill me, but also want to drag your father to hell with me?"

Jiang Cheng's words were filled with arrogance as he showed her the dagger. "Then I want to ask, where did you get this Japanese sword as a young lady from the capital?"

"Don't tell me that besides having a childhood sweetheart, you also have a Japanese lover?"

Duan Xinyu was speechless for a while, blinking her eyes repeatedly in a daze.

"You can't answer that, right?"

Jiang Cheng leaned closer to her, "Then, let me tell you?"

"It's true that Cai Yuanming is your childhood sweetheart, but your father never had the chance to arrange that assassination—"

"It was the Japanese who did it, right? This knife was also given to you by the Japanese... They just wanted to borrow your knife. As for whether they can kill with one strike, they can just use you to get rid of this turmoil and come back to cause trouble again."

Duan Xinyu avoided his gaze, but her breathing became heavy again.

Her consciousness was clearly blurred, and the cut on her wrist was not fake. Moreover, such a great shock was enough to make this weak girl faint on the ground.

"You're cruel, but so stupid."

Jiang Cheng released his hands that were pressing on her hands and shoulders, and laid her horizontally on the bed.

There is no point in killing her. The real purpose is to use her to lure out the Japanese behind the scenes and then let her father take back Shandong.

"I know you hate your father - he repeatedly treats you like a commodity, giving you away to this and that. So, you want to blame these things on your father, right?" (End of this chapter)
