Chapter 517: How Did It Change All of a Sudden

Li Benzhong looked at Yu Hua: "Young Master Yu, is there something you need?"

Yu Hua stepped forward, "Captain Li, I have a matter I would like to trouble you with."

Hearing this, Li Benzhong's brows furrowed slightly, "Young Master Yu, I am sorry, our Police Force is directly under the leadership of the Commissioner."

"This matter still requires you to contact our Commissioner; I dare not make the decision myself!"

To this, Yu Hua waved his hand: "This matter is simple!"

"I will call the Commissioner inside right now; I am very familiar with him."

Saying this, Yu Hua looked at Wang Qiang: "Boss Wang, prepare a telephone for me; I am going to contact Commissioner Liao of the Police Department."

Nowadays, the Sichuan Army's influence is powerful, and even the Military Statistics Bureau fears them by three points!

Yu Hua sought out Yang Xiangchu: "Old Yang, this is a batch of goods; there are no munitions inside."

Commissioner Chen trusted the words of He Gang Xia Ye and let him take pictures as he pleased, wanting to take them however he wished.

He Gang Xia Ye raised his camera and took a few photos, then he walked up to a soldier.

"However, I want to know your true identity; an ordinary merchant could not possibly know these circumstances."

"Logically speaking, this matter is not for us in the Police Department to manage, is it?"

"Japanese Army spies have arrived in Changsha; I don't need to say it for you to know what they are doing."

Yu Hua patted Li Benzhong on the shoulder: "Benzhong, I know you are a Changsha local."

Afterward, Li Benzhong stood before Yu Hua: "Young Master Yu, from this moment on, Commissioner Liao has ordered me to follow your command."

"After they finish taking photos, they are going to a teahouse to drink tea."

"You take a few trusted brothers and specifically keep an eye on the East Asians taking photos of refugees in Changsha."

Other matters can be turned a blind eye to.

"I can also give you a large sum of remuneration!"

Yu Hua looked at Li Benzhong: "Benzhong, let me tell you the truth: Changsha must be defended."

He told Li Benzhong: "I am an Adjutant of the 2nd Army of the Sichuan Army, 22nd Group Army."

After entering Changsha City, the man in the gray-black checkered suit hailed a Rickshaw!

He Gang Xia Ye said he wanted to taste the refugees' rations!

After Liao Xingkai finished his call with Li Benzhong, Li Benzhong handed the phone to Yu Hua.

Speaking of this, Li Benzhong, who was on the side, frowned and said: "Young Master Yu."

In the afternoon!

"Then the shop boss will see this scene and take the initiative to offer to pour tea."

He Gang Xia Ye still insisted on tasting it, and Commissioner Chen had no choice!

"Good!" Yu Hua patted Li Benzhong: "Remember that!"

"Anyway, this news is spreading everywhere now; I have heard some people from the Police Department mention such news as well."

"You can even find this out!"

Commissioner Chen brought him to the Refugee Ration Point;

"I have already spoken with Mr. Chen Jiageng; I am just informing you now."

"Fine!" Li Benzhong nodded.

Liu Er sighed: "I don't know either."

"Sigh..." Li Benzhong sighed: "This matter is almost spreading throughout Changsha City now."

He revealed his identity to the soldier and used the same rhetoric he had just used to fool Liu Er to fool a disaster relief official.

To this, Yu Hua smiled slightly: "Benzhong!"

"I can promise you that!"

Liu Er took the Wotou and, much like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit, ate it with great relish.

"The little Japanese devils kill my compatriots, occupy my land, rape and pillage, and commit every evil; are they not a pack of beasts?"

"No, no, no..." Liu Er hurriedly waved his hands: "Master... I am not an educated man; you are!"

Dai Chunfeng also gave instructions to Yang Xiangchu: as long as the Sichuan Army does not solicit anti-Japanese war funds from Chen Jiageng or threaten the safety of Mr. Chen Jiageng.

Upon learning of Yu Hua's identity, Li Benzhong was still startled, because the reputation of the 22nd Group Army is quite resounding right now.

"You say you are a Reporter; are you using a Camera to take pictures of the common people and then publishing them in newspapers?"

"Wait for my signal for everything, then we will strike together."

A man wearing a gray-black checkered suit passed the inspection of the garrison at the Changsha city gate and entered the city.

"Ah?!" Commissioner Chen, who was on the side, widened his eyes upon hearing this; he looked at the Reporter Huang before him.

After Li Benzhong took the phone, he agreed with several "Yes"s in a row.

Glancing at Liu Er, He Gang Xia Ye threw the Wotou in his hand to him.

"Master, I see you are somewhat reluctant?"

Saying this, Yu Hua gave Yang Xiangchu a check, "Old Yang, this is the remuneration for this transport."

Soon, a Rickshaw arrived in front of the man: "Master, where are you going?"

"This time we are only scouting; absolutely do not strike."

"Master!" Liu Er looked the man in the suit up and down: "Are you not a person of the Republic of China?"

Bitter, foul-smelling, hard on the teeth and tongue!

"Thinking that the higher-ups won't defend Changsha, the morale of the army is scattered, and they certainly wouldn't be willing to do things honestly."

"Deep down, you don't want to leave Changsha either."

Li Benzhong, who was on the side, fell into deep thought after hearing Yu Hua's words, then he looked at Yu Hua: "Young Master Yu!"

"Defend Changsha!!"

Yang Xiangchu looked at the check Yu Hua handed over, took a glance, ten thousand silver dollars!

This was a significant amount of money!

The Sichuan Army personnel boarded Chen Jiageng's special train; Dai Chunfeng was aware of this matter.

Subsequently, Yu Hua signaled for Li Benzhong to follow as well.

"I can hear it every time; I can't help but listen even if I want to."

"Liu Er, you said the higher-ups are not planning to defend Changsha City; where did you get this news?"

Liu Er, standing to the side, saw this scene and happily stroked his beard, though unfortunately, he only had three or five hairs on his chin.

He Gang Xia Ye stared at the wotou in the basket; the color inside made him feel uncomfortable, so he took a photo.

"I don't mind, give it to me to eat!"

Afterward, He Gang Xia Ye unleashed endless verbal abuse against the Japanese Army.

"What you are transporting are just woolen textiles, not any contraband."

"I, Liu Er, am very familiar with Changsha City; there isn't a place I don't know."

The two of them chatted intermittently.

"Ba..." He Gang Xia Ye almost blurted out the classic catchphrase of the Japanese Army.

"These words of mine were all learned from university students!"

"You are catching spies now, both for your own sake and for the sake of the entire country."

"Reporter Huang!" Director Chen waved his hand and said, "This wotou tastes terrible; these have been stored for several days and have already started to stink."

"No, no, no..." He Gang Xia Ye hurriedly waved his hands: "I am a citizen of the Republic of China!"

Hearing this, Yu Hua did not intend to hide his identity either.

He raised his camera and went *snap-snap-snap* in a frenzy of shooting!

Afterward, He Gang Xia Ye arrived at the place where disaster victims were being relieved, where the local Changsha government was distributing food to the victims.

Seeing the reluctant behavior of the man in the suit, Liu Er frowned slightly, and furthermore, this man in the suit before him.

The man in the suit smiled slightly and said: "Liu Er, I am a reporter!"

Yu Hua dialed Liao Xingkai's number, and after it connected, he immediately said: "Uncle Liao, I am Yu Hua, Xiao Ningxin's husband!"

"Anyway, right now, people in the city are panicking, and in the sky, there are still the devils' airplanes bombing."

"The common people in the city are really suffering!"

"Pigs, dogs, chickens, ducks, fish, and the like can still satisfy our hunger."

There was none of that shared hatred among compatriots, that collective spirit of cursing the Japanese Army.

The man in the suit did not expect that he was only slightly reluctant, and it had already made this Liu Er in front of him suspicious of him so quickly.

"Some university students spontaneously organized parades and promote things to us common people every time."

Therefore, when Yu Hua gave the check to Yang Xiangchu, he took it and said softly: "Old Yu!"

The first time the Revival Office appeared was to bomb the Low-key Club in Hankou, and the second time was to bomb Kang Ze's Special Action Team.

"Director Chen, I would like to have a taste, may I?"

"Recently, after the Sino-Japanese War fell into a stalemate, our next focus of operations is in Changsha."

"While drinking tea, he first picked up the teacup and placed it upside down on the teapot!"

Regarding this, the man in the suit feigned a smile: "Liu Er, what you said is correct."

At this moment, the Chief of the Changsha Police Department was very happy after hearing Yu Hua announce his name!

"Nephew!"

The cargo inside the special train... was just, damn it, a bunch of socks worn by women, not any valuable items.

When He Gang Xia Ye took a bite, that taste almost made him explode.

Under Yu Hua's initiative, the Paoge Organization was reorganized into an agency similar to the Military Statistics Bureau, publicly known as the Revival Office.

"Remember, observe first; these people taking photos are a group."

"However, these beasts of the little devils are a waste of food from the moment they are born; even their breathing pollutes the air!"

In order to complete the mission without exposing himself, the man in the suit immediately began to act.

If it weren't for Kang Ze being away on business, he reckoned his life would not have been saved!

Moreover, the Sichuan Army had previously had the people from the Revival Office bomb the Low-key Club in Hankou.

"Adjutant Yu!" Li Benzhong looked at Yu Hua: "I agree to your terms!"

When the man in the suit heard Liu Er mention the phrase "not defending Changsha City," his eyes couldn't help but light up!

He began to speak slowly, cursing forcefully: "These little devils are indeed beasts; everything they do is inhumane."

Back then, Kang Ze's Special Action Team wanted to take advantage of Marshal Liu's passing to make big moves in Sichuan Province.

Upon learning of this, the Paoge Organization drove trucks directly there, using machine guns and artillery to bomb the office of Kang Ze's Special Action Team in Sichuan Province.

"I will accept this money as the escort fee you mentioned."

"This time I came to Changsha City specifically to interview the living conditions of the people in the city and to demonstrate the spirit of our Chinese nation in the War of Resistance."

Today, the Sichuan Army transported goods onto Mr. Chen Jiageng's special train, a matter the Military Statistics Bureau had already investigated clearly.

Liu Er took He Gang Xia Ye around Changsha City, and whenever He Gang Xia Ye saw places where refugees gathered, he would have Liu Er stop.

"You have arrived in Changsha; where are you now? Come to your uncle's house tonight for a meal."

He Gang Xia Ye prepared to throw away the wotou in his hand, but Liu Er, seeing this, said: "Sir... give it to me... give it to me..."

"This matter, our Military Statistics Bureau had already investigated clearly long ago."

"Because the Garrison Commander of Changsha City has not been officially determined, the troops are relatively undisciplined."

Afterwards, Li Benzhong and the Xiao Family guards loaded all the socks from the warehouse onto trucks and transported them to the train station.

Looking around, Li Benzhong whispered again, "Besides, I heard something!"

"I am just a rickshaw puller."

Upon learning this, Liao Xingkai said directly: "Nephew, give the phone to him, I will speak to him."

Fortunately, he remembered he was in the National Government-controlled area and immediately changed his words: "The wotou tastes terrible!"

"Let the countries of the world come to help us!"

"Writing some words in the newspaper to express the spirit of our Chinese nation's arduous resistance and eternal refusal to submit, right?"

Yu Hua hurriedly said: "Uncle, eating is not urgent, there is an urgent matter now."

At this, the corners of the man in the suit twitched, and he unwillingly made a sound from his nose: "Hmm!"

"My name is Yu Hua, my Sichuan Army unit will also arrive in Changsha City before long!"

Seeing the surrounding disaster victims, after they picked up the wotou to eat, they had an expression of intoxication.

"Could it be that your family has no relatives who died tragically at the hands of the little Japanese devils!!"

"It's just that, in recent days, there have been rumors in the streets that the higher-ups do not intend to defend Changsha City."

"Regarding the matter of catching Japanese Army spies, I don't trust the military, because these troops are just as you said until now."

Upon hearing this, Liu Er asked: "Master!"

Speaking of this, Yu Hua patted Li Benzhong on the shoulder very sincerely: "Benzhong, I know you just got married, and your wife is from Changsha."

Now arriving at the place where rations were distributed, Liu Er's eyes stared at the wotou in the basket, emitting a sharp glint!

"Therefore, I think the matter of catching Japanese Army spies should be left to the military."

Speaking of this, Liu Er looked at the man in the suit: "Master, do you think these little Japanese devils are animals!"

"Young Master Yu, the higher-ups don't plan to defend Changsha and are preparing to abandon this place."

"The people you mentioned couldn't be Japanese Army spies, could they?"

Look at the Kang Ze Special Action Team in Sichuan Province; they are as docile as cats now.

At this moment, He Gang Xia Ye thought to himself: Could it be that these wotou just look ugly, but actually taste excellent!?

"These little Japanese devils are just animals!"

As for Liu Er, he had been following behind He Gang Xia Ye.

"Due to your marriage, your family's current finances are not very good."

You must know that previously, when the Kang Ze Special Action Team was suppressing the Red Army, they were also vicious toward the Sichuan Army; everyone in the Sichuan Army feared the Military Statistics Bureau.

"Sometimes, they are not even as good as animals!"

Wang Qiang nodded quickly: "Son-in-law, the phone is over here, please come in!"

"Your father also doesn't want to leave Changsha!"

"You kid are quite well-informed!"

Yu Hua understood what Yang Xiangchu meant!

"That is, I want you, Captain Li Benzhong of the Police Department, to handle a matter for me."

"Helping me catch Japanese Army spies now is a great merit, and you will be promoted faster."

"For us to cooperate, we need mutual trust; you know so much about me, but I don't know anything about you."

"From now on, I will be searching for Japanese Army spies within Changsha City."

Yu Hua chatted with Liao Xingkai for a few sentences, then hung up the phone.

"You must know that since the Wuhan Battle, there hasn't been a unified opinion within the National Government on whether or not to defend Changsha."

"You are a local, and you are more familiar with Changsha."

Dai Chunfeng's order to Yang Xiangchu was not to allow the Sichuan Army to use Chen Jiageng's special train to traffic contraband!

Since they were just ordinary goods, Yang Xiangchu had no intention of tangling with the Sichuan Army; the Sichuan Army was powerful now, and the Military Statistics Bureau was also a bit afraid of them.

"You can exchange it at the American Bank in Hunan Province!"

However, ever since the Sichuan Army units flourished during the War of Resistance!!

The suggestions Yu Hua raised received the support of the Sichuan Army commander Liu Xiang, including those regarding the intelligence department!

"I already said... Reporter Huang, this wotou is unpalatable, yet you still want to try it." Bureau Chief Chen said.

"Go ahead and say it, what do you want to do!"

Touching it was just touching for nothing!!

Afterwards, He Gang Xia Ye let Liu Er pull him around Changsha City.

"Moreover, my stamina is the best in Changsha City; I pull the rickshaw fast and steadily."

"It seems you are also a cultured person!"

"Your Military Statistics Bureau branch in Hunan Province is tight on funds; take this check as a token of appreciation for the brothers' hard work."

Yu Hua handed the phone to Li Benzhong: "It's Bureau Chief Liao's call, you take it."

"Uncle will host a welcome banquet for you!"

Liu Er, who was to the side, also heard Bureau Chief Chen and Reporter Huang chatting, and heard Reporter Huang say he was a Sichuanese who grew up in Sichuan.

Liu Er glanced at Reporter Huang; just a moment ago you told me you were from Shanghai and grew up in Shanghai!

How did you suddenly become a Sichuanese?!
