Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 481 Liao Yaquan's choice? Let's end it!

New Year's Eve.

As relatives gathered together, Bao Guowei also got to know a lot of people.

The first to be affected were Zhang Nianyue’s brothers and sisters.

Zhang Taiyan had two sons and five daughters, so it can be said that he had a large family.

Historically, Zhang Taiyan had only four daughters. Perhaps due to the different world lines, there is an additional daughter, Zhang Nianyue.

As the youngest daughter, she was naturally spoiled infinitely.

On weekdays, the eldest son Zhang Dao and the first three sisters are all away from home, either studying abroad or already married.

The eldest daughter Zhang had passed away, so there were only six brothers and sisters left.

It is rare for the whole family to get together, and the occasion becomes even more grand as the youngest daughter Zhang Nianyue is getting married.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people celebrate the New Year and drink Yuanbao tea.

Welcome the God of Wealth on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Bao Guowei became familiar with his older brothers and sisters.

What’s even more hilarious is that the topic he and his brothers-in-law talked about most was the “The Return of the Condor Heroes” he was writing recently.

This shows how popular this work is.

In his previous life, Bao Guowei had never felt such a strong sense of the New Year.

In this life, Lao Bao's family didn't have many relatives. Even though the father and son had become rich, many relatives came to establish a relationship with them, but most of them were distant and there were few close ones.

So staying in Zhang’s house makes me feel even more warm.

However, after the fifth day of the New Year, the happy atmosphere suddenly changed.

There is a problem that has to be brought to the table.

That is about the marriage of the youngest daughter Zhang Nianyue.

In order to ensure that Zhang Nianyue's wedding could be held perfectly, Zhang Taiyan even expressly forbade his eldest son and his second and third daughters to leave early.

In previous years, they only stayed at home for a few days.

But how should this wedding be held?
The Republic of China was a very complicated era. In the past, there was modern life, and in the future, there was traditional feudal culture that lasted for a hundred years.

This inevitably leads to conflict.

According to Zhang Taiyan, his youngest daughter's wedding must be held in a traditional Chinese style.

From calculating the horoscope for engagement, to the matchmaker signing the contract, to the announcement date, the matchmaking and the red-clapping, and finally the wedding wine and crying ceremony, etc.

No ceremony can be missing.

In the view of Lao Zhang, who studies Chinese culture, these steps reflect the wisdom of the ancients.

"Parents' orders and matchmaker's words, the former may not be appropriate, but the latter does make sense.

If there is no matchmaker to communicate and sign a contract between the two parties, can the wedding be guaranteed?

Without this layer of protection, if one party regrets and is unfaithful, or if one party has an engagement first, wouldn't all marriages in the world be in chaos?

Besides, this matchmaking is a form of married life."

Zhang Taiyan obviously fell into his old mistake. He seemed to be discussing his daughter's wedding, but in fact he was discussing the changes in marriage customs in the world.

He spoke eloquently, quoted classics, and made an in-depth analysis of the traditional marriage system.

But his wife Tang Guoli couldn't stand it anymore.

In the Zhang Mansion, the patriarchal system where the head of the family has the final say has long ceased to exist.

Tang Guoli was an educated woman who had read many books, and she scoffed at Zhang Taiyan's idea.

Women working these days make her more supportive of Western-style weddings.

"Nowadays, people are not so conservative. Western-style weddings are also good. They also have marriage certificates and standard ceremonies, but the steps are much simpler. Aren't they better than traditional ones?"

Tang Guoli even quoted a "famous saying".

"Didn't Bingwen say that?

The wedding and funeral ceremonies of the Chinese people are so grand that many ordinary people spend their limited money on them in order to compete with each other in pomp and circumstance. A large part of the reason is poverty.

A ceremony that is too complicated is really meaningless.

It would be better to just have a Western-style wedding, which would be simpler.

Our family is a family of scholars, and Bingwen is a well-known literary giant, so we must set an example for ordinary people!"

"No! No!" Zhang Taiyan waved his hands and said, "A traditional wedding is better. We can't completely westernize and forget the treasures left by our ancestors."

"You old stubborn man!"

"You are an old woman who only knows how to westernize everything!"

The two people argued endlessly and neither could convince the other.

Finally, I threw the question to Lao Bao.

As the boy's parent, Lao Bao should have half the say.

But Lao Bao has always been a man without any ideas.

He didn't have any traditional complex and said with a simple smile.

"Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, I don't really have any ideas. It all depends on what the two newlyweds say. We'll just do whatever they want."

At this time, Lao Bao, the least educated, seemed the most open-minded.

After knowing the news, Zhang Nianyue was immediately unhappy.

She rushed into the lobby and started to contradict Zhang Taiyan in front of all the relatives.

Without caring about her father's face at all, Zhang Nianyue said with her hands on her hips.

"What does my wedding with Bao Guowei have to do with you?
He and I can do whatever we want. I don't think there's any need for any ceremony, whether it's Western or Chinese, it's just too troublesome.

I thought getting married wasn’t a big deal, so I went to get the certificate and find a place to hold the ceremony.”

Zhang Nianyue seemed free and easy, but when Old Zhang and Tang Guoli heard this, they were immediately furious.

The two people said in unison.

"no!"

Zhang Taiyan even slammed the table and stood up.

"How can you decide on marriage alone?"

Zhang Nianyue scolded again without giving any face.

"Old stubborn!"

Just like that, all matters concerning the marriage became mired in wrangling again.

Everyone found Bao Guowei and wanted him to express his opinion.

But Bao Guowei's attitude is to compromise and combine Chinese and Western cultures.

The parents of both sides are also involved, but it is mainly led by the newlyweds, and then the procedure can be simplified and that's it.

Unfortunately, another quarrel broke out.

Looking at the noisy lobby, Bao Guowei quietly returned to his room.

In the past two days, he received news from Nanjing that T.V. Soong was coming to visit him?
As soon as he received the news, he felt his scalp tingling.

No matter how you think about it, it's not a good thing for the other party to come to you.

I guess he was lobbying for Chiang Kai-shek.

But now, I don’t want to completely break off relations with the government.

So, we can only take one step at a time.

During the Chinese New Year period, the updates of The Return of the Condor Heroes were suspended for a few days, and readers in the market were complaining bitterly.

Even several of my brothers-in-law came over to ask why "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was not updated.

There was no other way; in order to cope with the public outcry, Bao Guowei had to work overtime on holidays.

Work overtime to improve and revise the subsequent content of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and provide manuscripts to magazines.

This busy schedule lasted until late at night.

When he walked out of the study, the whole yard was pitch black. Bao Guowei tightened his clothes and walked towards the room.

But halfway through his walk, he suddenly stopped, his eyes keenly noticed the movement in the corner, and one hand clenched the pistol in his arms.

"Come out."

Along with Bao Guowei's voice, a thin woman walked out from the corner.

Some cold voices were heard.

"Mr. Bingwen, you are indeed not an ordinary person. It's not just your skills and knowledge, almost everything about you is shocking."

At this point in time, there can only be one person.

Liao Yaquan was wearing thin clothes, and looked a little miserable in the cold wind.

She hugged her chest with her hands, as if trying to get some warmth from them.

I don't know what emotions were in the look in their eyes.

Bao Guowei narrowed his eyes, he noticed the change in the other party's address.

Then he said with a smile.

"Ms. Nanzō Yunko, you have been hiding by my side for so long, yet you still haven't figured out all these things?"

"Because... you are really an elusive man." Liao Yaquan's eyes were burning, but she didn't know whether she was talking about the difficulty she had in obtaining intelligence or her feelings for Bao Guowei.

"Are you praising me or disparaging me?"

Bao Guowei also smiled and joked with her.

Judging from his behavior, Liao Yaquan does seem to have turned over a new leaf, but psychologically, Bao Guowei still cannot give his trust to this Japanese.

He is also a Japanese who received special agent education and militarism training since childhood.

Can you hope that such a person can truly turn over a new leaf?
If it is a temporary change, it means danger.

I felt the vigilance and alienation in Bao Guowei's words.

Liao Yaquan's expression couldn't help but become a little gloomy, she lowered her head and said.

"I guess you already know my identity, sir? You just watch my clumsy performances quietly and wait for my actions. If I make any move beyond the rules, you will lose your life immediately."

Bao Guowei narrowed his eyes and agreed with Liao Yaquan's guess.

He never gave up his vigilance against Liao Yaquan, that is, the other party's rules of action. If he really wanted to harm the people around him, Liao Yaquan would have been killed long ago.

For Bao Guowei, who had a second life and a lot of information in his head, it was not difficult for him to do this.

Liao Yaquan sighed and said, "Now that I think about it, I was really an overly naive woman."

Bao Guowei shook his head and said bluntly.

"You are not innocent, nor are you an ordinary woman. You are a terrifying killer. Your goal from the beginning was impure. You are evil in your bones."

Liao Ya's whole body trembled, and a hint of bitterness appeared on her face. She seemed to completely understand the other party's attitude.

"Mr. Bingwen, you are very powerful, but I am not a simple woman either. I have figured out a lot of things and realized a lot these days.

I want you to give me a chance, a chance to change.

Instead of keeping me away from you.

If that's the case, I'd rather you kill me."

Bao Guowei didn't buy into the other party's trick at all and remained calm as he spoke.

“I won’t kill you for now.

On the one hand, keeping you is definitely more valuable, and perhaps we can obtain reverse intelligence and win a bargaining chip to defeat the Japanese.

On the other hand, you haven't shown any ill intentions so far, and Nian Yue likes you very much, so I have no reason to touch you."

"Is there no other aspect?" Liao Yaquan asked with hope in his eyes.

Bao Guowei asked knowingly: "What?"

"Mr. Bingwen, is there really no hope between us? I can give up everything I had before, and I can also give up any status and just stay with you and Miss Nianyue."

Liao Yaquan's expression became excited.

Bao Guowei narrowed his eyes, looked at the other party's exaggerated performance, and thought of the sickly girl in later generations.

Maybe it would be just right for the other person.

Bao Guowei sighed and said, "Calm down, Miss Liao.

We are enemies and not on the same path after all. Even if Nian Yue is willing to give me an answer, I can never treat you sincerely.

Because I can't give you trust.

I can't sleep with a time bomb like you sleeping next to me."

Bao Guowei is not Liuxia Hui, he also has normal male sexual desires.

From this perspective, Liao Yaquan is undoubtedly a very good candidate.

But he knew very well that feelings were not a stable thing.

Liao Yaquan helps me and obeys me now because of love, but he may betray me in the future because of love.

To accept her is undoubtedly to accept a bottle of poison in beautiful appearance.

This kind of woman is always dangerous.

Moreover, under the trend of the times, Bao Guowei wants to do more.

This means that he must not be able to retain this risk.

"Is that so?"

There was a trace of misery on Liao Yaquan's face. He had completely lost all his strength, as if he had given up all hope, and he collapsed to the ground.

He held his stomach tightly, as if his abdomen was in severe pain due to extreme sadness.

"Thank you for your honesty, so what will happen to me?"

Bao Guowei said without hesitation: "Submit, or die."

Liao Yaquan's body trembled, as if he was afraid of and unwilling to die.

But she was not only unable to do anything to Bao Guowei emotionally.

In fact, she had already seen Cao Yanhai appear not far away, pointing a gun at her.

If I show any aggressive attitude, I will lose my life in the next moment, right?

After a long time, she spoke slowly.

"I thought about it for a long time. I can give up everything, but there is really no way I can become a double agent."

In the past few days, Liao Yaquan has been struggling with this matter. She knows the tacit understanding between her and Bao Guowei, and the only way out is to become a double agent.

But Liao Yaquan still understood.

Based on the education she received since childhood, it was really difficult for her to be a good spy with all the things buried in her ass.

Eventually, there is a possibility of falling into the abyss again.

Obviously, she also agreed with Bao Guowei's analysis.

"But I still don't want to give up."

As he spoke, Liao Yaquan got up and approached Bao Guowei step by step.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of mechanical loading of a gun was heard from the bushes not far away.

Liao Yaquan showed no fear at all.

Bao Guowei sighed and said.

"Do you really want to go to this extent?"

He also tightened his grip on the pistol in his arms.

But unexpectedly.

The next moment, Liao Yaquan actually took out a document from his arms and pushed it to Bao Guowei from the ground.

After a moment's pause, Bao Guowei cautiously did not pick up the document.

Instead, he squinted his eyes and looked at the spread out paper.

“Thank you for your honesty, Mr. Bingwen, and thank you for your work. You have helped me understand myself and the hypocrisy of the so-called military state.

So, I still want to live."

Liao Yaquan had a smile on her face, the same warm smile she usually gave to other people in the Zhang Mansion.

But after Bao Guowei saw the document, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Liao Yaquan did not stop his story.

"This is the information about most of the Japanese intelligence bases in China, as well as spies planted in various important locations in the national government.

This is as much as I could gather.

It's time to end these meaningless and unjust actions.

I hope to gain some life force from this, and I also hope to use this to express my sincerity.”

Bao Guowei could naturally tell whether this document was authentic or not.

As long as he searches for the relevant information in his head, he can find a certain correspondence.

It may not be more perfect than Liao Yaquan's, but it will certainly be no problem in judging the authenticity.

For a moment, Bao Guowei was a little shocked. He frowned and said.

"You should be able to understand what it means to provide this material."

If discovered by the Japanese military, Liao Yaquan would be living a life worse than death.

Liao Yaquan spread his hands and said, “Bingwen Jun, you can’t believe me, and I can’t believe that I will always be sober and righteous.

But I just want to prove that, at least at this moment, I am clear-headed and want to stand on the side of justice. "

Brainwashing is more like a drug.

After saying these words, Liao Yaquan ran towards Bao Guowei.

Bao Guowei was originally tense, but he found that the other party seemed to have no weapon.

The clothes are terribly thin.

Without any obstruction, Liao Yaquan threw himself tightly into Bao Guowei's arms.

He had never felt such deep love, except from Zhang Nianyue, either in his past life or in this life.

Bao Guowei could feel the other person leaning in his arms, his shoulders twitching slowly.

"Bingwen Jun~"

Not far away, Cao Yanhai hesitated again and again, but finally put down his rifle.
