Chapter 223 Liberation
"It's alright, listen to Nan! Isn't this what you're here for? If you work hard and become a diplomat, you can make up for my regret." Song Yanchu had already adjusted his mindset, even though entering the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had been his childhood dream.
Hearing Nan clutch her chest, trying to cheer Song Yanchu up, she said, "Uncle, I feel like you're trying to trick me, but I have no proof! My heart has been on and off all day because of you, it's so exciting!"
Song Yanchu was quite optimistic. Every cloud has a silver lining. "Hahaha... Tingnan, today is a good day. Let's go get some wine and cook some hearty dishes. We must celebrate. It's a pity Ah Huo isn't here, otherwise we would definitely drink until we drop."
Leave the professional tasks to the professionals. Listen to Nan and focus on reviewing for the final exams.
Two days before winter break, the verdict against Tian Song—no, 'Teng Tian Songben'—was handed down. This hidden Japanese spy received the trial he deserved. His distant relative was also punished because the Japanese spies had something on him, so he was used by them to help them hide their identities and also harmed an innocent girl.
"Uncle, I just don't understand. He's been hiding for so many years, how come he suddenly showed up?"
"His superiors were furious and desperate, trying to cause trouble during the Spring Festival, which we value. Teng Tiansong was just a scout."
"Don't you even consider the possibility of him being exposed?"
"Who cares about his minor role? He's just a pawn. I heard that experts have cracked the code on the tape, and they've got Tengtian and Matsumoto using their positions as teachers to secretly spread pro-Japanese rhetoric. They even want to gradually revise our history textbooks so that children will stop hating them."
"Hmph! Dream on! Don't even think about it, you little Japanese devils!"
After the final exams, Ting Nan visited Ning Xueyan again, the pitiful woman who had been deceived and used as a shield.
When I entered Ning Xueyan's house, she was packing her luggage. When she saw Ting Nan, she greeted him, "Xiao Gao, you're here."
"Sister Ning, are you alright?" Ting Nan didn't know how to comfort her.
Ning Xueyan found a chair and sat down. "Pity me? Sympathize with me? Xiao Gao, don't make that face. You know what? I feel relieved. Living with someone like that for so many years, we were like strangers roommates. He was heartless. Hehehe, thankfully, I didn't fall for him. Without love, there is no hate."
He listened without answering Nan's question.
"Xiao Gao, you should actually be happy for me. He was discovered, and I've ended this depressing, boring, and hopeless life a long time ago. He was arrested before he could cause trouble, so I'm no longer in danger, and I won't be coerced into doing anything bad."
"Look, I still have this house. He probably bought it in my name to avoid being exposed. I'm planning to sell it and buy a smaller house to live in alone. That way, I won't bother my parents and brothers anymore. It'll be so much more comfortable!"
Hearing Nan nod, it seemed like it really was a good idea!
“I am truly grateful to our government. They are very discerning and did not discriminate against or punish me in any way. I confessed the little bit I knew and they let me go home.”
Of course, I also have to thank him for his contempt for me. After all, I don't know anything, so he looked down on me and didn't drag me down with him. "Xiao Gao, what do you think I can do in the future?" Ning Xueyan's voice trailed off as she spoke. Who says there's no hurt? She felt lost about life. A woman nearing forty, childless, and confined to her home for years...
