Chen Meng’er did not know if Dr. Li had the so-called name list. But when Chen Meng’er saw Dr. Li’s expression when he heard her mention the name list, she knew that she had really hit the nail on the head, Dr. Li really had a name list.
Chen Meng’er rolled her eyes and had an idea. “Dr. Li, don’t play dumb with me. Do you think that if we did not have accurate information, we would have traveled thousands of miles from Beijing to get here?”
Dr. Li lowered his head again and looked at the ground silently. Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing could not see the expression on his face, nor could they guess what he was thinking.
Chen Meng’er continued to work hard. “Dr. Li, What are you still hesitating for? Do you still want to work for the Japanese and keep your mouth shut? Do you think that the Japanese will appreciate your kindness? Will they let you off? If they did, you wouldn’t have been caught here. Do you think you will end up well if you don’t take the name list? If I’m not wrong, the Japanese are already discussing how to quietly deal with you.”
As Chen Meng’er spoke, her eyes were fixed on Dr. Li. Although she couldn’t see Dr. Li’s expression, the sharp-eyed Chen Meng’er still noticed that when she said the last words, Dr. Li’s body couldn’t help but shiver.
Chen Meng’er knew that her words had taken effect. Her words had caused a change in Dr. Li’s mind.
She continued, “Dr. Li, even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about your wife and daughter at home. You escaped to Japan on your own, and now you’re being locked up by the Japanese. You still don’t know what the outcome will be. And in China, what will your wife and daughter face? In the face of the questioning and colored eyes of the people in society, do you want them to live in the future with their heads down and hide from people when they go out?” Chen Meng’er didn’t directly say how bad his act of treason was, it was. She just told him what he had done, what his wife and daughter would pay for it.
Chen Meng’er did not believe that Dr. Li did not care about his close relatives at all.
And Chen Meng’er won the bet this time. Dr. Li slowly raised his head, which had been lowered the whole time. His eyes, which did not have any focus, also slowly focused. “You’re right. I can’t be selfish and only think about myself. I still have a daughter. My daughter is still young. I can’t let her think that because of me, a sinner of a father, that she will never be able to raise her head.” Dr. Li also regretted his decision back then. At that time, he was captivated by the other party’s conditions. That was why he made a decision that made him extremely regretful.
Dr. Li was very emotional. At this moment, Chen Meng’er actually shut her mouth. She quietly waited for Dr. Li to vent out the fear and regret that he had been holding back ever since the incident happened. She waited for Dr. Li’s emotions to slowly calm down.
As for Yuwen Jing, he had been standing behind Chen Meng’er as a protector from the moment he entered. He had not opened his mouth.
Dr. Li wiped away his tears again and again. After a long while, his emotions slowly calmed down. “What exactly are your identities?” Dr. Li wiped away his tears. He glanced at Yuwen Jing who was standing behind Chen Meng’er and asked.
Yuwen Jing was obviously of mixed-blood origin. Dr. Li was still a little suspicious of Yuwen Jing. In addition to Chen Meng’er’s age, Dr. Li became even more cautious.
“Green Gang, Elder Deng.” Chen Meng’er did not directly answer Dr. Li’s words, but indirectly replied.
Chen Meng’er’s simple words made Dr. Li’s gaze toward Chen Meng’er suddenly change. He stared at Chen Meng’er and asked, “Are you the young lady of the Green Gang?”
