When Shen Wanqing heard this, she felt her heart wouldn't jump anymore. She gave Lin Yuan a hard look, and said with a sneer, "Okay, Lin Yuan, you're still putting on airs with me. I really regret knowing you!"

When Shen Wanqing ran back to her room, it was already dark. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help crying. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Lin Yuan's voice sounded: "Wan Qing , it's me, can you open the door?"

Shen Wanqing didn't move, didn't even say a word, and soon heard the sound of using a key to open the door. As soon as the door opened, Lin Yuan walked in, shook the key in his hand, and said with a smile: " You see, I knew you wouldn't open the door for me, so I asked the administrator for the key."

Shen Wanqing still didn't speak, Lin Yuan walked up to her and sat down beside her with a smile, then said, "Are you still angry?"

Shen Wanqing moved to the side, staying far away from Lin Yuan, turned her back to Lin Yuan, did not speak, Lin Yuan leaned forward again, and said with a smile: "I am talking like that today for your own good, you Look, none of the soldiers and Master Li here today know about us, and they don’t know your real identity. You speak to me in that tone when you come up. Your identity is in doubt."

"You're not like me. I'm usually either in the government office or in the army, so people who want to harm me can't get in at all, but you are different. In society, you often have to contact all kinds of people. In case What should someone do to harm you? I know your skills are good, but it is easy to hide from the open, but hard to defend from the back. No matter how good your skills are, you don’t have eyes behind your back, and accidents are inevitable, so I just say those words, and they won’t guess randomly. Our relationship is over, and you are safer."

Shen Wanqing still didn't move, Lin Yuan said again: "About Wang Tianmu's matter, I apologize, I didn't think carefully, not only fell for his tricks, but also let Cailing kill him, don't be angry, okay? "

Lin Yuan tentatively stretched out his hand to pat her on the shoulder. When her hand touched her shoulder, she didn't resist, but let him hold it obediently. Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he thought: "She must not be angry anymore. . " Simply exerting force, he directly turned her body around.

Lin Yuan looked at her eyes that were red from crying, and smiled softly, "Okay, okay, don't cry."

Shen Wanqing said apologetically: "Actually, there is something wrong with me. In front of so many people, I shouldn't have talked to you like that. I will never do that again."

Lin Yuan hugged her gently in his arms, and said softly: "As for that Japanese spy, let's think of a way. We've got rid of the biggest spy, and these leaky fish won't make any waves."

Shen Wanqing nodded in his arms, rubbing against his chest, Lin Yuan hugged him tighter, Shen Wanqing suddenly said: "I have a way to find the Japanese spy."

Lin Yuan quickly asked, "What way?"

Shen Wanqing said: "You remember those women, they were sent by the Japanese, maybe they will know about their situation."

Lin Yuan said, "Okay, let's go find them."

After Lin Yuan caught those girls, he didn't think about how to deal with them for a while, so he locked them in the big house. Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing found a room with lights on. Just as Lin Yuan was about to go in, Shen Wanqing Wan Qing stopped him and said, "Let's wait and hear what they have to say."

Lin Yuan listened intently, only to hear an immature female voice inside say: "Mom, I'm hungry."

Another woman's voice sounded: "Mom will find something to do tomorrow, baby, just bear with it."

After hearing this, Lin Yuan whispered to Shen Wanqing: "I didn't expect that the youngest and the oldest are actually a pair of mother and daughter!"

Shen Wanqing sighed, at this time the lights in the room were blown out, Shen Wanqing said: "Let's go in." After speaking, she walked forward and knocked on the door.

The lights in the room were turned on again, and the older woman opened the door, looked at Shen Wanqing, and said, "Do you have anything to do? Please go inside and talk about it."

After sitting down, Shen Wanqing asked, "Have you guys not eaten yet?"

The woman nodded and said in a low voice, "I haven't eaten anything since I was arrested."

Lin Yuan frowned, called the guards outside, and asked, "Why don't you give them something to eat?"

The guard said, "They are all Japanese, why give them something to eat?"

Lin Yuan said: "Go to the kitchen and get something, this is an order."

After the guards went out, Shen Wanqing looked at the little girl curled up on the bed and asked, "Is she your daughter?"

The woman said helplessly: "That's right, the family really has no money, so they can only come out to do this. She can suffer less suffering by following me."

At this time, the guards brought some steamed buns, and the little girl hugged the steamed buns and gnawed on them. Shen Wanqing asked, "How did you come to China?"

The woman said: "The county magistrate goes to our village to recruit people. Anyone who can't survive can go to China."

Shen Wanqing asked in surprise: "What? The government organized you to come here?"

The woman nodded and said, "That's right, when we arrive in China, we will be sent to those places, and we will keep a small part of the money we earn, and most of the rest will be handed over to the government through foreign banks."

Lin Yuan whispered to Shen Wanqing: "These things are not surprising. Since the Meiji Restoration, there have been Japanese women who came to China to sell sex and exchange foreign exchange for the Japanese government. Such people are called 'Tang sex workers', and they are in the same situation. Quite tragic."

Shen Wanqing nodded, and then asked: "Then how did you get to Wang Tianmu's house?"

The woman said: "It was sent by a person, but I don't know who he is. We were all blindfolded when we came."

Shen Wanqing shook her head lightly, and said: "It seems that this clue is not good. If we follow along, at most we can find out the dens of prostitution. As for the clues of Japanese spies, there will be no clues at all."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Well, let's send people to secretly monitor their prostitution dens first, and if we find anything suspicious, we'll do it again."

The two came out and asked other women, but found no clues, so the two returned to Shen Wanqing's residence helplessly, and then Lin Yuan asked: "Didn't you say you have something important today? What the hell is going on?"

Shen Wanqing took out a document from the cabinet and said, "This is the information I just got today, it is an internal accounting statement of HSBC Bank."

Lin Yuan took it, and saw that it was full of numbers and tables, Lin Yuan asked, "What can you see on it?"

Shen Wanqing said: "This accounting statement is used to bribe officials of the Qing court."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Bribe? Why don't they come to me?"

Shen Wanqing said: "The people they bribed were all officials from the Ministry of Finance. Their purpose was very simple, that is to get the Ministry of Finance to accept British railway loans."

Lin Yuan said: "It seems that the British are sure that we have no money. We need a lot of money to build the railway. Now the household department has insufficient silver deposits. We must borrow from foreign countries."

Shen Wanqing asked: "Then should we borrow from foreign countries?"

Lin Yuan shook his head lightly and said, "We must find a way to settle this batch of money by ourselves."
