Chapter 131 The Secret in the Schoolbag
Wang Juan held the note nervously. She couldn't understand it and could only recognize a few simple words.
The first person she thought of was Lin Ruotang, so she called Lin Ruotang.
"Miss Lin, do you want to play mahjong tonight?"
Hearing this, Lin Ruotang's mind moved. It seemed that something happened over there. He smiled and said:
"Okay, I'll come over tonight."
When Niu Batian came back, Wang Juan told him,
"Jiaqi is missing. She seems to have left. She also left me a note. I saw my name on it."
Niu Batian looked at Wang Juan in surprise.
"You know so many words?"
Wang Juan was very proud and said modestly:
"I only know a few words, and I'm just guessing..."
Niu Batian gave a thumbs up with admiration on his face.
"Juan, you're really capable. You're a woman who can accomplish great things. You can learn to read and drive as soon as you're told to."
Wang Juan felt a little shy after being praised, and she cleared her throat and said:
"Now is not the time to talk about this. We need to find Jiaqi. She's injured, why is she still going out? I'm really worried about her health..."
In the evening, after getting off work, Lin Ruotang drove to Niu Batian's house.
Wang Juan handed the note to Lin Ruotang.
"Jiaqi is gone?"
Lin Ruotang read the note, which basically said thank you to Wang Juan. She was going to look for someone, and if she didn't come back, she would give the things to Wang Juan. After Lin Ruotang told Wang Juan, she continued to ask:
"When did she leave?"
"He left before daybreak and hasn't come back yet. It's been a whole day. Lao Niu has sent people to look for him."
After Wang Juan finished speaking, her tone was a little low. She was worried that Chen Jiaqi had encountered an accident.
Lin Ruotang was curious about what Chen Jiaqi left for Wang Juan, so she said to Wang Juan:
"Chen Jiaqi left a schoolbag for you. Let's look for it first to see where she hid it."
The three of them searched the room. Lin Ruotang felt the bed and found it was a little uneven. She found a schoolbag under the bed and pulled it out.
Lin Ruotang handed it to Wang Juan. Wang Juan took the schoolbag and asked curiously:
"Isn't there some important document in here?"
After she finished speaking, she opened it and took a look, then said in surprise:
"Is it a bag for photos?"
Niu Batian reached out to take it, but Wang Juan dodged.
Niu Batian was worried that this thing would be dangerous if it stayed with Wang Juan.
"What if it's something important? We'll take a look first before we know who to give it to..."
"Jiaqi hasn't come back yet..."
After Wang Juan finished speaking, she was naturally snatched away by Niu Batian and fell on the bed.
When Lin Ruotang saw these photos, his breathing became rapid, his eyes were red, and his fists were clenched.
She saw a Japanese soldier using a bayonet to pick up a breastfeeding baby. Next to the child was a bare-breasted woman with wide-open eyes and blood on her chest, indicating that she had been dead for a long time.
Lin Ruotang knew how cruel these invaders were. They had competitions to slaughter their compatriots, took out their compatriots' hearts to eat with wine, and even subjected their compatriots to inhumane experiments.
They were taught from childhood and will remember a piece of history forever.
Niu Batian gritted his teeth and said:
"These beasts!"
When Wang Juan saw these scenes for the first time, she covered her mouth and ran out, crying and vomiting.
Lin Ruotang picked up a certificate.
"Chen Yongfeng, war correspondent."
It can be seen that these photos were taken by him at the risk of his life, and they can also guess that this person is Chen Jiaqi's father.
No wonder Chen Jiaqi was determined to keep these photos at all costs. They are evidence that exposes the ugly faces of these invaders.
"These photos must be preserved. Otherwise, given the nature of the Japanese, I'm afraid they won't admit to invading us and will erase these events from the long river of history."
Hearing Lin Ruotang's words, Niu Batian's eyes turned red and his fists clenched.
Lin Ruotang thought that if Chen Jiaqi fell into the hands of the Japanese, the consequences would be disastrous.
"This thing must be kept safe. If the Japanese find it, the evidence must be destroyed."
Wang Juan held onto the door frame, tears streaming down her face. She said firmly:
"Ms. Lin, don't worry, I will definitely keep these photos safe..."
"Let's find Chen Jiaqi first. We have to save her if we can!"
Lin Ruotang returned home only after making all the arrangements.
She told Xie Wuwei about this. Xie Wuwei thought about it and realized that it was extremely dangerous to use the telegraph now. The Japanese and the Secret Service drove detection vehicles every day to search for hidden personnel.
I could only find a way to send the photos out of Shanghai and back to my hometown.
"Find Chen Jiaqi first. We can't let her father's sacrifice be in vain."
After Xie Wuwei finished speaking, he was very worried that Chen Jiaqi had been found by the Japanese Special High Police.
Niu Batian sent people to look for her for two days and finally got news about Chen Jiaqi.
It turned out that Chen Jiaqi went to find a university professor named Wang Fen, and then disappeared.
After he got the news, he immediately informed Lin Ruotang.
Lin Ruotang thought about it and decided to go and take a look with Niu Batian.
Wang Juan was also worried about the thin and weak Chen Jiaqi, so she immediately asked:
“Take me with you!”
Lin Ruotang was very pleased to see Wang Juan's transformation, from an illiterate woman to a thoughtful, progressive and anti-Japanese young person.
She seemed to have broken free from the cocoon that bound her like a caterpillar, and her whole body was like a sapling, growing positively with a longing for sunlight.
Even though Wang Juan could not read, she was courageous, cautious, and could also transmit some intelligence.
The three of them drove to the building where Wang Fenshou lived and saw a thin man, about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a middle-parted hairstyle and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
Lin Ruotang frowned. This man had greasy hair and powdered face, and his eyes were wandering. She couldn't help but say:
"This guy doesn't look like a good person..."
Niu Batian sat in the passenger seat and glanced at the man outside the window.
"I agree. He certainly doesn't look like a good person."
Wang Juan also nodded in agreement. The man's greasy hair and small eyes looked like a cockroach that had crawled out of nowhere. She said hesitantly:
"Is this what people who read a lot of books look like? If you read too many books, you'll become like this. I'd better not read any more!"
Lin Ruotang was at a loss for words and could only say:
"People like him are a minority. Most people who have read books are sensible. But there are also those who read too much and have crooked minds..."
After Lin Ruotang finished speaking, she parked the car in the corner and got out.
She was wearing a white shirt, a black long skirt, a blue plaid jacket, and had delicate curly hair that reached her shoulders, looking extremely fashionable.
Wang Fen, who was about to go upstairs, was stunned. Wang Fen glanced at Lin Ruotang and pushed his glasses.
Lin Ruotang walked towards Wang Fen and asked him:
"Excuse me, does Professor Wang live here?"
The corners of the man's mouth curled up slightly, and he nodded arrogantly.
"I'm the only professor here."
Lin Ruotang blinked her eyes, looking innocent, and said in surprise:
"Oh, you must be Professor Wang. A friend of mine came to see you, but she hasn't come back yet. I'm so worried. Do you know where she went?"
Wang Fen was still very proud, but after hearing the rest, his expression changed and his eyes became panicked. He pretended to be calm and said:
"Chen Jiaqi left early!"
Hearing this, Lin Ruotang's eyes flashed with understanding. This person was too guilty to even look into her eyes, which showed that he was lying. She smiled.
"Really? Then she might have gone somewhere else. I'll look for her again."
Seeing Lin Ruotang's exquisite beauty, Wang Fen couldn't help but warn her,
"Chen Jiaqi's father offended the Japanese. This lady should not get so close to her, or you might get into trouble."
