Chapter 312 [Wind Chaser 11]
After Lin Qiaosong gave the order, his men quickly took action. They dispersed to every corner of the city and collected all the major newspapers. These newspapers piled up in front of Lin Qiaosong like snowflakes, and each one might hide important clues.
Lin Qiaosong personally went to the battle and carefully read every newspaper. He stared wide-eyed, not missing any details, and read the notices word by word. Once he found information related to the target, he immediately circled it with a red pen and extracted the key numbers and locations in his notebook.
After several hours of hard work, Lin Qiaosong finally completed this arduous task. His notebook was already densely filled with various data and addresses, but he was not satisfied with this. He spent a long time screening, filtering and sorting this information one by one to ensure that no valuable clues were missed.
Finally, Lin Qiaosong successfully extracted a page of concise and key information from the complex data. The information recorded on this page seems simple, but it contains huge secrets. Lin Qiaosong held the page tightly, with a determined light in his eyes. He knew that the next investigation would revolve around these valuable clues.
At the same time, Wei Ruochuan was extremely worried when he learned that his brother Wei Ruolai was injured. He was eager to see his brother and learn about his injury. He originally planned to inform Youyou first, but after looking for her everywhere, he could not find her. In desperation, Wei Ruochuan decided to go ahead and visit Wei Ruolai.
Before leaving, Wei Ruochuan hurriedly wrote a letter for Youyou. In the letter, he expressed his concern for his brother and his apology for not being able to accompany her temporarily. After writing the letter, Wei Ruochuan carefully placed it in a conspicuous place, hoping that Youyou would see it as soon as she returned.
With a heart full of worry and concern, Wei Ruochuan set out on the road to find Wei Ruolai. Along the way, he kept praying for his brother's safety, and at the same time secretly made up his mind to find the people who hurt his brother and make them pay the price.
In the evening, the sun sets and its afterglow falls on Qibao Street in Zhabei, Shanghai.
Wei Ruolai hummed a little tune happily and walked briskly back to his little room in the attic.
However, the moment he pushed open the door, a strange feeling came over him.
The room was completely dark, unlike usual. Wei Ruolai became alert and asked softly, "Who are you?"
After a moment's silence, a familiar figure slowly walked to the table and lit the oil lamp.
With the dim light, Wei Ruolai finally saw the other person's face clearly and couldn't help but yelled, "Brother! Where have you been all these years?"
Wei Ruochuan looked at his brother's excited expression, smiled slightly, and replied softly: "Ruolai, don't you even recognize your brother?" As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Ruolai, with tears flashing in his eyes, quickly stepped forward and hugged his brother tightly.
After calming down a little, Wei Ruolai noticed that his brother was holding a bottle of ointment in his hand and asked curiously, "Brother, how did you know I was injured? Also, where did you get this bottle of ointment? It doesn't look cheap."
Wei Ruochuan gently patted his brother's shoulder and explained, "I heard from someone a few days ago that you were injured, so I specially found this bottle of ointment. Try it quickly, it will help the wound heal."
Wei Ruolai nodded, carefully took the ointment, opened the bottle cap and smelled it. A faint fragrance came to his nose. He said in surprise: "Brother, this smells really good, and it feels cool and comfortable."
Wei Ruchuan smiled and said, "Of course. This is made with precious medicinal herbs, so the effect is naturally good. Come, let me help you apply it." After that, he dipped a little ointment with his fingers and gently applied it on Wei Ruolai's cheek.
Wei Ruolai felt his brother's warm fingertips and the cool and comfortable ointment, and his heart was filled with emotion. He murmured to himself: "Brother, it's really cool, and the pain feels much less. Thank you!"
Wei Ruochuan patted his brother's head lovingly and said with a smile, "Why are you being polite to me? As long as you get better soon, I'll be relieved."
"Brother, will you leave now that you're back?" Wei Ruolai looked at the man in front of him with anticipation, with a gleam in his eyes.
"I'm not leaving for the time being. I'll stay in Shanghai." Wei Ruchuan's voice was low and firm.
Hearing this, Wei Ruolai felt delighted: "Really? That's great! Then brother, will you live with me? This way we can take care of each other..." However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wei Ruchuan who gently shook his head.
"No, brother, I have a place to live. I came here today just to see how you are doing." Wei Ruchuan's eyes were full of love and care.
The smile on Wei Ruolai's face disappeared a little, and he looked a little disappointed, but he soon cheered up again and asked, "Where do you live now, brother? Can I visit you often?"
Wei Ruchuan hesitated for a moment and replied, "The place where I live is quite remote and not easy to find. Also, brother, I hope you can remember one thing - don't tell anyone that you have seen me, otherwise it may cause you trouble and even affect your future development." His expression became extremely serious, which made Wei Rulai nervous.
"Why can't you tell me, brother? What happened?" Wei Ruolai asked anxiously, trying to find out the reason.
Wei Ruochuan took a deep breath and explained slowly: "Some things cannot be explained in a few words. In short, you just need to know that doing what I say is the best protection for you. When the time is right, I will tell you everything."
Seeing Wei Ruochuan's serious expression, Wei Ruolai immediately realized that his brother and he were in different camps, otherwise his brother would not have said such a thing, so he tentatively asked, "Brother, you are on the Communist Party side, right?"
Wei Ruochuan said directly, "Yes."
"Brother, when did you join the Communist Party? How come I didn't know? You didn't join after you came to Shanghai," Wei Ruolai guessed.
"No, your brother joined it back home, so if you come, why don't you join the Communist Party and fight with me?" Wei Ruchuan suggested.
"I'm sorry, brother! I have always believed in the Three Principles of the People since I followed you, so I really can't agree to your request." Wei Ruolai looked at him firmly and rejected him without any room for negotiation. It seemed that no matter what he said or did, he could not change his deep belief and persistence in the Three Principles of the People. This belief has been deeply rooted in Wei Ruolai's heart and has become his principle and bottom line in dealing with people.
"You don't have to agree now. I believe you will agree later because only the Communist Party can save China. The Kuomintang only fights among themselves and they only care about their own interests," said Wei Ruchuan.
"Brother, everyone has his or her own beliefs and persistence, and so do we. You have what you firmly believe in, and I also have my own persistence. We don't understand each other's true pursuit deep in our hearts, so please don't continue to persuade us about this matter, okay?" Wei Ruolai said seriously.
Wei Ruochuan looked at his brother's determined expression and knew that it would be futile to say anything more, so he sighed softly: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will not force you. But I still hope you can think carefully about the interests involved. I will go back first, take care of yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Ruochuan turned and left, leaving behind a lonely figure and the unopened bottle of ointment. Wei Ruolai silently stared at his brother's figure walking away, with mixed feelings in his heart. On the one hand, he was worried that his brother would lose his job because of him; on the other hand, he was worried about the risks his brother might face.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for Wei Ruolai. He tossed and turned in bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. The various scenes that had just happened kept appearing in his mind, making him feel more and more anxious and irritable.
