Chapter 45 The Young Communist Party Member Huang Jia
"Want to live?" Yan Shuo asked, looking at the girl.
"Waaah, um!" The girl nodded fearfully. The person in front of her was so fierce. Although she wasn't afraid of death, who would want to die just like that if they could live? Besides, this person killed a spy, so he must be a good person. So she boldly answered, making sure she didn't show any fear. But her trembling hands and legs, her pale face, and her stuttering tone—goodness, she was definitely a rookie. She had completely let her guard down.
"Go ahead and wait for me. I'll dispose of the body around the corner. Don't run away, or I'll kill you!" Yan Shuo threatened her menacingly.
The girl nodded, then nimbly jumped over the corpse and ran to the corner of the alley. She nervously clenched her fingers, still clutching the box of sulfonamide she had bought. She wanted to turn back and watch Yan Shuo dispose of the body, but she was too nervous to look. She closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them again, then closed them again, trying to encourage herself. When she finally mustered up the courage to turn around and reach the corner, Yan Shuo was already standing in front of her.
"What are you peeking at?" Yan Shuo teased the little girl, finding it rather amusing; she was quite adorable.
"No, I didn't see anything! By the way, is the body properly disposed of? Will it be discovered? Don't worry, if it is discovered, I'll just say I killed it, and it has nothing to do with you!" The little girl was even trying to come up with ideas for them, thinking she knew best.
"Okay, let's go, let's get out of here quickly. I've taken care of the body, but we might still be discovered." Yan Shuo pulled the little girl out of the alley, hailed a rickshaw, and took her to a restaurant a few blocks away. They got a private room, ordered food, and ate. As for the body, he had already stored it in his spatial storage; why bother investigating it?
"Eat slowly, don't rush!" Yan Shuo said, adding more food to the young girl's plate as he watched her eat voraciously. It seemed the Communist Party's funds were limited; the girl probably hadn't had a decent meal in a long time, eating as if this was her only meal and it would be the last one.
"Mmm! You eat too. By the way, thank you! What's your name? Thank you for saving me!" The little girl asked while eating, so carefree that she wasn't afraid that Yan Shuo would sell her or carry her away.
"My name is Liu Jie, I work for a foreign firm, and what's yours?" Yan Shuo asked.
"My name is Meng Jia, Meng from Mencius, and Jia from Jiaren, the same Jia as in 'The Country of the Beautiful Women in the North'! Hello, Brother Liu Jie! Thank you for saving me!" Meng Jia happily wiped her mouth and stretched out her greasy hand to shake hands with Yan Shuo.
"Get out of here! Hurry up and eat, your hands are so oily, did you wash them?" Yan Shuo rolled his eyes and shoved his greasy hands away, gesturing for her to continue eating.
While eating and chatting, Yan Shuo learned that Meng Jia was a graduate of Hubei Normal University. In this era, students from colleges of this level were practically university graduates, and they were highly sought after and had to be given priority in any job.
Yan Shuo then pondered how to cultivate a relationship with this girl so that he could facilitate smuggling in the future.
Don't assume the Communist Party is poor just because they often operate in secluded corners. Anyone who thinks that is a fool.
The Communist Party simply didn't hold the official position at this time; it was essentially the opposing side of the ruling government. You see, in foreign countries, the ruling party and the opposition forces—you could understand the Communist Party that way: the opposition forces of the ruling party. Since they didn't hold the official position, their procurement channels weren't officially recognized, making it easy for legitimate suppliers to refuse them transactions. That's why they seemed poor; it wasn't that they were truly broke, but rather that they had money but nowhere to spend it.
"Where do you work? Do you want me to introduce you to a job? You're just buying medicine, why are you looking back all the way? It's like you're telling the spies you're suspicious. What's wrong with your brain? If I hadn't noticed this today, you would have been in trouble with the spies." Yan Shuo asked, pretending to be curious.
"What?! How did I get messed up by spies?" Meng Jia finally finished eating and drinking, rubbing her belly as she stubbornly said, her tone very unconvinced.
"Then tell me, how did you end up being followed by the spies? Why did they follow you and not others? Is it because you're just a young girl, not even that pretty, and your figure hasn't fully developed yet, not big in the right place, not small in the right place? What makes you so attractive that people would follow you? There are so many beautiful young ladies on the street, why don't the spies follow you and not others? Isn't it because you move suspiciously and walk in a strange way? Like you're a ghost, I was attracted to you and followed you all the way here."
"Who are you saying hasn't grown up yet? Who's not big enough when they should be, and not small enough when they should be? Who are you talking about? Who are you talking about?" Meng Jia got angry and was about to throw a punch when Yan Shuo blocked it.
"Then tell me, why are you being followed? You didn't join some weird organization, did you? A cult? Even if it is a weird organization, a cult or something, it wouldn't attract spies that much, would it? You're not telling the truth?" Yan Shuo deliberately provoked her.
"I'm telling the truth! I haven't joined any organization! I'm just buying medicine normally! My family member is sick and needs sulfonamides!" Huang Jia said, lacking confidence.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense! You're not suited to buying these things on the street. It's like you're a ghost. If I hadn't saved you today, you would have committed suicide. Do you really think I didn't see the pills in your collar? Are they for suicide? Are you a Communist? Or a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau? Who's injured?" Yan Shuo was too lazy to argue anymore and asked directly, his face close to hers.
"I can't say!" Huang Jia couldn't argue with Yan Shuo, so she pretended to be dead.
"Alright, fine, I won't say anything then. Just give me an address, and don't buy any more medicine. Tell me what medicine you need, and I'll buy it and deliver it to you. Look at you, you haven't been whipped by society yet, you look so stupid. Sooner or later, you'll be eaten alive by spies. Consider this me doing a good deed, saving you this time, and doing you a good deed for me."
"Sigh... I have no choice! If I don't buy medicine, my elders in the family will die! This is only sulfonamide; I still need several other medicines and a doctor," Huang Jia said, scratching his head.
"Go to the hospital if you're sick!"
"I can't go!" Huang Jia hurriedly said, then covered her mouth.
"Hmm? Give me the address. I know a doctor, a really good one. Don't worry, if I were a bad guy, I would have sold you out long ago! Remember, tonight, give me an address. When you get nearby, have someone blindfold you take him in to treat the patient, then blindfold my people and take them out. I'm not going in. Treating the patient is the priority. With you doing this, the patient will die a long time ago."
"But..." Huang Jia wanted to say something, but Yan Shuo glared at her and she immediately shut up.
"Nothing can be delayed by saving your life. Stop rambling and trying to talk nonsense; are you even going to save anyone?"
"Help! Okay, come to the entrance of Shicao Alley tonight, I'll bring the doctor in."
"What illness? I need to prepare some relevant medications; without them, the doctor can't help!"
"Shot in the stomach! Bleeding a lot!"
"How many days has it been?"
"Two days!"
"You're really something, still dawdling like this. Hurry up and go back, wait for the doctor to come. I'll go arrange for the doctor to prepare the medicine," Yan Shuo urged. This girl really doesn't know what's important.
"Okay, then I'll head back!"
"return!"
"What's wrong now?"
"Put down the sulfonamide pills. Pour out a few and wrap them in paper. Don't look back or around on the way. Don't act like a fool and get in the wrong hands with the spies who will follow you. I'll send a doctor over tonight with enough medicine!"
"What if there are still spies following me in the future?"
"Get lost!" Yan Shuo spat out. Huang Jia panicked and threw out a few sulfanilamide pills, wrapped them in paper, and ran out of the room. He really didn't look back as he walked back.
Yan Shuo sent out a weapon doll to hang at a distance, and only after seeing that she had arrived home safely did he stand guard at the entrance of a nearby alley.
"What a headache!" Yan Shuo muttered.
