The door opened again, and a woman entered. You Yi looked up but still did not let go of Yan Wei.

"A Western woman? No, she looks like a Chinese woman, but not only her clothes and hair color but also her vibe are completely like those of a Westerner."

"Ah, it looks like I chose the wrong time to enter!" That woman looked at the two people in front of her and smiled mischievously, but she had no intention of leaving.

You Yi realize the situation. She let go of Yan Wei, wiped the tears from her face, and turned to Yan Wei.

"You receive the guest; I go upstairs for a while."

"OK"

You Yi gave that woman a warning glance again, but she smiled brightly, somewhat fondly.

"Does she hate me at the first sigh? Or is she wary of every girl who goes with you?" The woman whispered to Yan Wei.

"Do not use your mind to judge other people. She will be back soon.". Yan Wei calmly replied.

Anna walked around the shop, stared at the door that leads to the cellar window, then continued observing.

"Wei, your house is so big, can you let me stay? It's saving and convenient if anything happens at night."

"You are not short of money, find a big hotel to rent a room."

"Haiz, for our many years of sharing meals and bed, I told you the truth: I spared my life and then put my bright future on the other side. You didn't repay me back; you even drove me away!"

"Hm. Is it not because you know you couldn't kill me?"

"Don't be arrogant. In the end, I will still win the same way as before."

"We both know who is better. I won't give my opponent any mercy like I used to."

"But time you have a weak point..."

Yan Wei paused. Yes, she has a weakness—an assassin's unacceptable thing. No matter how good I am, having a weak point is mostly done!

...

It must have been an hour until You Yi returned with a new look: her face was no longer tearful, her makeup was thorough, and her clothes also changed—beautiful and haughty like the writer Xu You Yi that everyone knows. Yan Wei secretly smiled but couldn't get past the other person's eyes and immediately received an angry stare.

Anna chuckles, seeing this whole thing, and decides to "rescue" this idiot.

"Um. Hearing the name of Miss Xu You Yi for a long time, the talented and beautiful, now meet you in person; that is such an honor!"

"Please don't flatter me. Our Wei Wei went out for a long time and now unexpectedly came home with a new friend. I don't know in advance how to well receive you. Please forgive me." - You Yi raised a lovely smile; her words were not cold and warm either.

"Please don't say that. I suddenly came here without any announcement in advance. Actually, Yan Wei and I are old friends. Since I was so glad to meet her again, I can't help but visit her to recall our old stories. Oh, I forgot! Let me introduce myself. My name is Anna Fang, and I am the same age as Yan Wei. You can just call me Anna. You don't need to be polite."

"Just let me call you Miss Fang."

"OK. As you want."

Xu You Yi rarely has negative feelings for others. Inspector Jiang is obnoxious but not so bad. He is a smart, honest cop, by the way. Xu You Yi even admires and loves the generosity and confidence of the Western girls, but this girl... You Yi hates the way she is close with her Wei Wei. And Wei Wei, although she still keeps her cold expression towards others, You Yi realizes clearly that Anna Fang is not "the others", as if they have some kind of connection; they shared a period that she couldn't get in.

Anna Fang looked at Yan Wei and then glanced at the person next to her.

"It's okay. Sooner or later, I will tell her. The organization can smell it, too. She couldn't avoid this shit."

...

Xu You Yi heard the whole story and could not help but be shocked:

"This kid, I can't imagine that I suffered that much!"

Xu You Yi touches Yan Wei's head gently with a pitying expression.

Looking at the two of them, Anna smiled and shook her head, then turned to pat Good Luck's head.

Yan Wei is surprised.

"Aren't you afraid of me? Don't hate me for killing people?"

"No."

"Even when I killed A LOT of people?"

"No. They forced children like you to do those things. I can't blame children."

"But now I'm grown. I understand murder is illegal."

"You were also forced. If the law can control all, it will also take care of those kidnappers and exploiters."

Yan Wei and An Na really couldn't help You Yi's reaction!

"Xie Yifan was killed by your organization?" - You Yi hesitantly asked.

"Xie Yifan? You know him? He is an emerging political talent, not only in Beiping. He also has many connections with foreign countries. I heard he's in the Communist Party. The opposition probably sees him as a major threat in the future, so they prepared for it." Anna replied.

Yan Wei anxiously observed Xu You Yi.

"Where does your organization come from? If they only kill for money, why do they want to kill all the people they trained so hard? Isn't this a loss of both profit and capital?"

"I do not know, too. We were raised on an isolated island. Except for Sir and the guards, there is no contact with anyone else."

"Sir"? Westerners?"

"Right. A Western man trained us. We call him "Sir". We communicate in English, not Chinese."

"English? England or American troops?"

"We can't exclude the Soviet Union and other Western countries," Jiang Bin said.

"There is no way the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union supported the Communist Party, so there was no reason to assassinate Xie Yifan."

"She is right. I have met many armies of different countries, including the Soviet Union and the opposition, Sir and the people there are most like Americans. People who are like Americans, even fluent English speakers, will have different tones.

If it is indeed the US military, they cannot admit to having intervened in the battle here. On the outside is a team of mercenaries working for money, but behind is a tool to intervene and influence the war. That's also why they use Chinese children themselves to avoid suspicion. That's smart!" Jiang Bin lamented.

"Not just here." Anna pulled out a cigarette, seemingly without a trace of sadness, then put it back in its pack. "They must have set up similar teams in other countries. An English assassin, she's been missing for a while, I'm afraid... The same fate as the rest of us."

*The United States remained neutral on the surface and did not intervene in the war in our country, but Roosevelt opposed Japan and supported the Kuomintang. The United States also opposes the republican system, so it certainly does not want the Communist Party to come to power.
