Chapter 344 [Wind Chaser 43]
The next morning, the sun was shining on the earth, and Mingda came to Shen Tunan's home early. He had a hint of nervousness on his face and held an important document in his hand.
"Brother Shen, this is given to you by the higher-ups." Mingda said softly, handing the document in his hand to Shen Tunan.
Shen Tunan took the document and read the text carefully. It turned out that this was an order from Chiang Kai-shek, ordering Shen Tunan to handle the aftermath of the construction treasury bonds. This task seemed simple, but it was actually full of challenges and pressure.
Chiang Kai-shek also gave Shen Tunan a Zhongzheng sword as a token of trust and expectation. Shen Tunan knew the meaning of the sword very well. If he could not handle this incident properly, the consequences would be disastrous.
Faced with such a difficult situation, Shen Tunan felt a strong sense of responsibility. He decided to go all out and live up to Chiang Kai-shek's trust. However, he was also worried that his family would be implicated.
"Cishu, I hope you can take Xiaoyuer back to your hometown in the countryside to take shelter for a while. It may be dangerous here, and I don't want you to get hurt." Shen Tunan said earnestly to Su Cishu.
Su Cishu frowned and shook his head firmly after hearing this: "No, Tunan, our family will be together forever. Wherever you are, we will be there. We will advance and retreat together with you. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together."
Shen Tunan looked at Su Cishu with emotion. He knew his wife's character and knew that once she made a decision, she would not change it easily.
"Okay, in that case, let's face it together. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties." Shen Tunan clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination.
Youyou also came to Shen Tunan's house and said that she had something to discuss. Shen Tunan took her to the study.
Youyou said, "Brother Shen, do you really want to compromise like this? Do you know how many people they have harmed? How many people have lost their families and wives because of this construction bond? I know that the higher-ups have given you an order, but have you forgotten your original intention?"
Shen Tunan had a headache and said, "I have no choice. Look at that Zhongzheng Sword. If I'm not satisfied with my handling and it's even a little bit related to it, what do you think will happen to me? What about my family and Xiaoyuer?"
"Brother Shen, perhaps you have another choice. Sister Su and Xiaoyuer can both be safe." Youyou said meaningfully.
"What choice?" Shen Tunan asked hurriedly.
"The Kuomintang is rotten from the root and cannot be saved. Brother Shen, do you still plan to stay here?" Youyou said.
"You want me to go to the Communist Party?" Shen Tunan said.
"Yes." Youyou nodded.
"Are you kidding? I believe in the Three Principles of the People, and it is impossible to change my beliefs." Shen Tunan said.
"You can take a look at the Kuomintang today. You don't have to agree now. You can think about it." Youyou said.
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell the higher-ups and have you arrested?" Shen Tunan asked.
"You won't, and Sister Su is also one of ours, and your sister Shen Jinzhen is also one of ours. Of course, on behalf of the organization, I welcome you to join us at any time." Youyou said with a smile.
Shen Tunan couldn't believe it for a moment. His wife and sister were both on the Communist side. Did he poke the Communist Party's lair?
Youyou continued, "You may not know much about our organization. You can go ask Sister Su. I'm leaving first. You can consider it. If you want to join us, you can let Sister Su be your introducer." After saying that, Youyou went out.
After going out, Youyou saw Su Cishu. Youyou hugged Su Cishu and whispered in her ear, "I have already told him your identity. Sister Su, you can go and enlighten him."
Su Cishu was a little surprised that Youyou told him so quickly, but thinking about the current situation, he knew why, so he said, "Okay, take care of yourself."
Youyou nodded and left.
Su Cishu knocked on the door and went straight in. Seeing Shen Tunan sitting on the ground, he quickly said, "Tunan, why are you sitting on the ground? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Then he helped Shen Tunan up.
Shen Tunan stood up with the help of Su Cishu and said, "When did you join?"
Su Cishu was stunned for a moment before he understood what Shen Tunan was talking about. He smiled and said, "Before I married you, I was already a member of the Communist Party. You You was my introducer to the Party. At that time, you cancelled your engagement with me. Then I came to Shanghai to work hard and met You You. Later... I joined the Communist Party just like that."
"For all these years I didn't realize that you are a Communist, and so is she," Shen Tunan said.
"What did you say? Jin Zhen is also one of ours?" Su Cishu asked in surprise.
"Don't you know?" Shen Tunan asked.
"I really don't know. Although I joined the party very early, I have always been silent and I don't know much about many things in the organization," said Su Cishu.
"So that's how it is." Shen Tunan said.
"By the way, what have you thought about it? What do you think about what Youyou said?" Su Cishu asked.
"But I don't know you very well." Shen Tunan said.
So, Su Cishu introduced the development of the Communist Party to Shen Tunan. Shen Tunan also had some understanding of the Communist Party, but Shen Tunan still wanted to go to the Communist Party’s base to see it with his own eyes. Su Cishu said that there would be an opportunity later.
Shen Tunan agreed to join the Communist Party, so Su Cishu took Shen Tunan to Youyou's house and formally swore to join the Communist Party. Youyou expressed the hope that Shen Tunan would continue to lie dormant, as the Communist Party was still very weak and needed to lie dormant. Shen Tunan also understood this, so he just pretended to know nothing and continued his work.
……
Feng Ju drove Aunt Zhou to the mental hospital. Aunt Zhou kept mumbling to herself along the way. Feng Ju looked at Aunt Zhou's appearance and was filled with anger and sadness. She believed that Wei Ruolai was the sinner who made her aunt become like this. She secretly vowed to find Wei Ruolai and make him pay the price.
At this time, a large group of excited citizens had gathered in front of the central bank in the city center. They held up placards and shouted loudly for severe punishment of the mastermind behind the scenes. Wei Ruolai stood not far away and watched all this quietly. He knew very well that these people were so angry because they were affected by financial fraud.
At this moment, Niu Chunmiao came over and said to Wei Ruolai: "Look, things have become like this now, you have to find a way to solve it quickly!" Wei Ruolai sighed helplessly and said: "I lost all the treasury bonds I bought, and now I can't get a penny." Niu Chunmiao thought for a while and said: "How about this, you pay Aunt Zhou's hospitalization expenses first, and we can talk about the rest later." Wei Ruolai nodded in agreement.
However, when Niu Chunmiao mentioned that he wanted to take Wei Ruolai back to his hometown, Wei Ruolai shook his head firmly. He said with a firm look: "No, I can't leave. I want to stay here and avenge those who died." Niu Chunmiao looked at Wei Ruolai and knew that he had made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
Wei Ruolai took a deep breath and turned to the group of citizens who were making trouble. He shouted, "Everyone, listen to me! I am also a victim of this incident. I know how you feel, but we can't just be defeated like this! We must unite and work together to find the mastermind behind this and let them receive the punishment they deserve!"
When the citizens heard Wei Ruolai's words, they all quieted down. They looked at Wei Ruolai with hope in their eyes. Wei Ruolai continued, "Although I don't have any money now, I will do everything I can to compensate everyone for their losses. Please believe me, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties!"
Encouraged by Wei Ruolai, the citizens gradually calmed down. They began to discuss how to deal with the current situation and jointly find solutions to the problem. Wei Ruolai quietly left the crowd, with a powerful force surging in his heart - the determination for revenge.
