Chapter 479: Chapter 205 Scum of Spy Literature (Part 9)

Qu Anni paled with shock, almost crying out in alarm.

She quickly covered her mouth with her hand and stared intently at her drunken husband.

How could this be possible?

Her husband wasn’t Japanese, but, but a Hua Country person?!

For the sake of intelligence, Qu Anni had married Sugawara Kosuke.

For years, the couple had a rather good relationship and even had a child.

Although Sugawara Kosuke was Japanese, he wasn’t a devil; despite his various flaws, he had never harmed Hua Country people.

Even her contact and comrade Huo Miao had told her to unite all potential allies to collectively resist Japan.

And Sugawara Kosuke was such a person who could be united with and won over.

Yet, Qu Anni understood all this, but there was always a barrier between her and her husband.

Qu Anni knew that the barrier was nothing else but her husband’s identity as a Japanese.

She was always worried. Her husband may have been no devil in the past or the present, but what about the future?

What if he, like other Japanese people, got brainwashed by militarism or pressured by the devils into pillaging and plundering?

Qu Anni couldn’t face such a possibility.

Therefore, she could never fully trust her husband, even though he had saved her half a month ago.

In recent days, he had even generously given her a lot of money.

Such pampering and affection could intoxicate any woman, but in Qu Anni’s heart, there was always a red line—he was Japanese.

Japan had committed countless atrocities against Hua Country; even after the war ended, the people of Hua Country must not easily forget this suffering.

A blood feud, the two countries were destined to become eternal enemies.

Becoming the wife of a man from Japan was also destined to never have complete happiness.

Facing a husband who was becoming increasingly kind to her and her child and whom she had used and deceived several times, Qu Anni’s heart was truly tormented.

But just when Qu Anni didn’t know how to get along better with her husband, she heard him say in his drunken stupor, "I’m not a devil, I am a Hua Country person."

Was this a drunken truth?

Or was it a deliberate test?

As a professional spy, one must always maintain a suspicious attitude toward all people and things.

No one could be completely trusted, not even family or comrades who had shared life and death.

She had to always stay rational and alert.

"He Haotian, are you from the Northeast?" Qu Anni clutched her chest, as if to suppress the tumult within.

She leaned in and whispered in He Tiantian’s ear.

"Mmm-hmm!" He Tiantian replied with a Northeastern dialect she’d picked up from modern sketches.

"Then how did you come to know Sugawara Kosuke?" And how did he manage to impersonate a Japanese person?

"Back when I was begging... Ah, why keep bringing him up, that guy’s dead, I burned his body to ashes with my own hands!"

He Tiantian muttered impatiently, then mumbled something unclear and fell back asleep, snoring.

Qu Anni stood dumbly beside him, completely at a loss for what to do next.

After quite a while, Qu Anni managed to gather her thoughts and helped her husband to the bedroom.

She struggled to get him onto the bed, then brought over some hot water to wash his face and feet.

Perhaps the comfort of a big bed helped, for He Tiantian turned over and slept even more soundly.

Qu Anni tucked him in, then went downstairs to tidy up the dining table.

After getting everything in order and lulling her son to sleep in his crib, Qu Anni tiptoed back to the large bed.

She had no intention to sleep, leaning against the headboard in her clothes, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes staring blankly at her slumbering husband.

She didn’t know how much time had passed until the western clock downstairs struck twice, prompting Qu Anni to say to herself: It’s already two in the morning.

At this time, most people are in their deepest sleep.

Not to mention "Sugawara Kosuke," who was already drunk, his mind should be most relaxed and vulnerable.

Qu Anni drew near to He Tiantian’s ear, murmuring softly as if whispering in a dream, "He Haotian, how did you get to know Sugawara Kosuke?"

"...Sugawara, that wretched fellow, lost his parents to mountain bandits, but he was clever, stayed a few days in their hideout and somehow managed to escape..."

It seemed He Tiantian was finally able to vent, muttering away as he recounted the process of how He Haotian and Sugawara Kosuke had met.

Qu Anni listened intently. Putting aside her professional training as a spy, she could ascertain from her intuition alone: Sugawara, oh no, He Haotian, he wasn’t lying!
