The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 583: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (122)

It was still the private room that Su Xiangran often used in the western restaurant. She sat gracefully on the sofa, holding a cup of fragrant coffee in her left hand, and gently picked up a piece of exquisite little cake with her right hand, and put it into her mouth slowly.

Through the glass windows of the restaurant, you can see a group of mysterious people stationed outside - spies.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and she secretly felt a little amused.

Once, when she watched those TV dramas known as "anti-Japanese miracle dramas", she always thought that the spies in the dramas were extremely stupid.

However, after experiencing it personally, she had to admit that these people in reality might still be quite smart.

After all, in this era lacking modern technological surveillance methods, it is really amazing that they can pin the suspicion on themselves so accurately.

Su Xiangran couldn't help but start thinking, what role did her cousin Cao Shixun play in all this?

I'm afraid that if he hadn't been fanning the flames behind the scenes, these people wouldn't have invested so much energy in themselves!

The men in the Cao family always seem to hold the creed of "if you can't get it, destroy it", which is really sad.

Not long after, Su Xiangran saw Cao Shixun's car slowly parked downstairs of the restaurant.

He was not wearing a military uniform today, but a long black coat, which made him look more scholarly than usual.

After getting off the car, Cao Shixun looked up at the restaurant and his eyes happened to meet Su Xiangran.

Su Xiangran discovered that her cousin Cao Shixun, who usually had good eyesight, was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses today. Not to mention, he looked unusually gentle.

But in a moment, she withdrew her gaze and continued to focus on the book in her hand, so Su Xiangran did not see the disappointment in Cao Shixun's eyes.

He changed his clothes and put on glasses today just to let his cousin see that he has a different side. However, he never expected that Su Xiangran just took a glance and completely ignored him.

Feeling somewhat unhappy, Cao Shixun walked into the box, sat opposite Su Xiangran, took off his glasses, and stared at her intently.

Su Xiangran raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly: "Cousin, I thought you wouldn't come."

Cao Shixun smiled and said, "Why not come? It's rare that my cousin takes the initiative to invite me. Let alone just a western restaurant, I would go there even if it's a dangerous place."

"You still know how to embarrass your wife!" Su Xiangran continued to read with his head down, and said in a calm tone, "I asked my cousin's wife to bring a message to you, just to make you retreat when you see difficulties."

"In the dictionary of soldiers, there is only facing challenges head-on." Cao Shixun took off his gloves and threw them on the table. "Cousin, why do you think of me like this? I just want to protect you. The troubled times are coming. Only with a strong backing can you survive."

"Protect me?" Su Xiangran sneered, "Why do you want to protect me? On what basis do you protect me? Or should I ask, how do you plan to protect me?"

It was rare to see Su Xiangran being so aggressive, and Cao Shixun was speechless for a moment: "I..."

"If you really wanted to protect me, you shouldn't have fanned the flames and asked them to send more people to monitor me." Su Xiangran finally put down the book in her hand, her expression becoming colder, "You also shouldn't have said that you wanted me to marry you because you liked me.

But the last thing you should have done was that in order to get rid of Brother Ajing, you went against national justice and sold out his whereabouts to the GZ soldiers.

In your dreams at midnight, have you ever felt a little bit of self-blame? But after all, Brother Ajing is a friend who grew up with you, and what he is doing is to save the country.

People along the way tried their best to let him pass, because they all knew that he was Chinese, and the Chinese soldiers were everyone's common enemy anyway, but what did you do? "

After being rebuked by Su Xiangran, Cao Shixun's face turned pale. He did not regret what he had done, but he was afraid that such a thing would be made public.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Cao Shixun tried to defend himself, "What evidence do you have to prove that I did it? Song Chengjing's actions were so big, and there were so many people who knew about him along the way. It's normal for the GZ soldiers to get the news."

"It's true that the GZ soldiers will get the news, but only a few of them can set up such a precise ambush and guess that Brother Ajing will stay behind to cover the rear." Su Xiangran has stood up now, looking down at Cao Shixun who was sitting in his seat.

Seeing his face becoming increasingly grim, Su Xiangran gave what she thought was the most reasonable inference: "The purpose of the GZ soldiers is to intercept supplies, why would they bombard a rearguard vehicle that has nothing on it?

So I think that in that incident, someone must have taken advantage of the situation to kill Brother Jing. Cousin, have I made it clearer?"

Cao Shixun's scalp tingled under the questioning, but within a moment, he smiled: "Cousin, this is just your guess. There is no evidence, right?"

"Two years ago, the adjutant who blocked the bullet for you could have survived." Su Xiangran suddenly said, "Why did he have other wounds on his chest when he was only shot once?"
