Upon hearing the news, Comrade Flame said somewhat playfully, "A strike by accident? Or does it take a villain to grind down another villain?"
But no matter what, Sugawara Kosuke had eliminated a degenerate.
Perhaps his motive was only for money, but the outcome was good.
So, about her husband "stumbling into a fortune," Qu Anni was not too angry, instead, she felt a faint sense of anticipation—
Was the victim this time also a traitor, a degenerate?
"...That Mr. Qian, some entertainment magnate, he honored every Japanese of the Shadow Organization, and he just had to leave me out."
"He thinks lowly of me, seeing me as just a nonessential journalist, daring to shame me so easily!"
"I, I took Captain Miyamoto directly to the Qian Family, haha, Annie, you should have seen it, the old guy was so scared he nearly pissed his pants..."
Annie feigned pride and laughed heartily.
While talking, she stretched out a palm, "Five big yellow croakers, exactly five! That old man really is rich!"
He Tiantian pulled out two gold bars from her bosom and slapped them on the table, "I gave two bars to Captain Miyamoto, kept one for my uncle, and these two are ours now."
"Right, you like going to that Orphanage, don’t you? Let’s , we have money!"
"As long as you’re happy, spending any amount of money is no problem!"
He Tiantian acted like a nouveau riche, boastfully telling Qu Anni: Money’s no object! You can’t buy happiness even with all this money!
Qu Anni also broke into a smile.
She was genuinely happy, for two reasons—
Firstly, that Mr. Qian, the entertainment magnate who owned a movie company, had just made a movie last month praising the traitors and flattering the Devil.
Mr. Qian himself was a great traitor, bowing and scraping to the Devli while smearing the resistance forces against Japan.
He tried to curry favor with Chairman Wang, but unfortunately, he couldn’t succeed.
He was already on the Guo Party’s blacklist but the Guo Party had been hit hard recently and hadn’t found time to deal with him.
Sugawara Kosuke extorting him was indeed another "accidental strike."
Such news was absolutely invigorating!
Secondly, her husband had become more generous after stumbling into money.
The money Qu Anni received from her husband was either taken to the Orphanage to improve the food for the children or saved up to be handed over to the organization.
The organization desperately needed money.
Local forces needed weapons, medicines, various secret fronts needed operational funds...
Qu Anni really wished she could empty her husband’s safe and send it all to the organization.
Now, Sugawara Kosuke, for Qu Anni, was not only a cover identity for protection, a source of intelligence, but also a never-ending cash cow.
Today another sum of money had come in, an amount that could buy a few more guns or crates of medicines for the troops in the mountains, and this money was even provided by such a traitor as Mr. Qian...
Haha, just thinking about it made her feel utterly exhilarated.
Qu Anni hummed a little tune while washing and chopping in the kitchen, while He Tientian played with her son in the living room.
Watching the child’s innocent, lovely face, He Tiantian silently vowed that she would protect this child and as many other children as possible.
Without coming to this era, it really wasn’t possible to truly empathize.
And having lived here for a while, even if it was just a fictional world derived from a novel, He Tiantian could understand why the martyrs were so persistent, courageous, loyal, and fighting.
This era was truly too dark.
And the people under the national turmoil lived too miserably.
The days of the people who lost their country were unimaginable.
He Tiantian had finally understood what it meant for life to be as light as a feather, to rather be a dog in a peaceful time than a human in a chaotic time.
The cruelty and dehumanization of the Devils, their unimaginable crimes against the people of Hua Country, had to be ended.
The suffering had to end, and the kind and hardworking people of Hua Country needed to have the good days they deserved.
However, the power of one person was too minuscule.
Even with great skills and vast scientific knowledge, He Tientain felt deeply powerless.
But no matter, the effort of one person might be too small, but as long as everyone tried hard, combining those efforts, it could become a terrifying force.
"...Annie, I’m really happy!"
"You don’t know, my childhood was so pitiful, eating one meal and not knowing if there would be another, being cursed at, chased by stray dogs, which was quite common."
At night, facing a table full of sumptuous dishes, He Tiantian drank one glass of wine after another.
Before long, she got drunk.
Her face was flushed, her eyes filled with drunken haze, and her speech slurred.
"I now have you, have a son, and have money...haha, those who bullied me back then could never have imagined that I, He Haotian, would have such a day."
Qu Anni was shocked, had she heard wrong?!
Heart pounding, Qu Anni leaned towards He Tiantian, and whispered in her ear, "He Haotian?"
"Yes! I am He Haotian, not some damn Sugawara Kosuke. Sob, I am a Hua Country person, not a Devil, my parents were killed by bombs from a Devil’s airplane, and I, I had to pretend to be that bastard Sugawara to scrape together a living..."
