She Only Cares About Cultivation

She reacted in time, hugging her head, crouching in the corner of the wall, only getting a few scrapes, unlike the civilians walking on the street, who were directly blown away, let alone the already burning houses and the collapsing and smoking buildings.

The street was indistinguishable now, this grim reality couldn’t be captured in a TV drama. She had never experienced such cruelty before and was momentarily blinded by tears, while her hatred for the pirates grew by the day.

She couldn’t afford to worry about her wounds and joined her compatriots in rescuing people. The sight of ruins and corpses everywhere made her feel like she was at a disaster site after an earthquake. If you think it’s quiet in the morning, you’re wrong; the working people are extremely diligent, and market vendors are everywhere early in the morning, though the flow is not as large as during the day, there are still plenty of people. Even if you’re lying in your home at this time, you could be crushed by a bomb. Buildings could collapse regardless if you were sleeping or walking on the street.

This is the cruelty of the pirates; they want to strike you with a fatal blow when you’re least prepared.

This time, two places were bombed: the hospital and pharmacy. Everywhere, people were crying for help. Yishui helped wherever she could. Initially, she helped rescue people, then she simply ran to the hospital to help the nurses, who were severely lacking in manpower, bandage the patients. She didn’t do it directly herself; she just helped by holding the medicine tray.

Outside were minor injuries; severe cases were directly taken to the operating room. Unfortunately, few could be saved. Many of these Western hospitals were built by foreigners. It wasn’t clear whether the pirates targeted them or what. They remained undamaged, but as the crowds gathered initially, they were patient, until they finally shut the doors, forbidding anyone else from entering because there was no standing room left inside, the noise was driving people to collapse.

Yishui didn’t expect someone to take advantage of this gap to assassinate the hospitalized pirates. By coincidence, she saw it happen, and unluckily, her figure was very similar to the assassin’s, which led to her being surrounded by the Japanese plainclothes team.

Yishui was calm enough and fortunate that she spoke Japanese. When they pulled her into a room for questioning, she furrowed her brows, somewhat displeased.

"How do I look like a Chinese to you? I’m your compatriot. My father is Ito Kentaro, and my name is Ito Shizuka. He dedicated his life to Japan as a spy and had me with a Chinese. He taught me Japanese and I grew up here. If you hadn’t mistakenly caught me, I wouldn’t even recognize us. Anyway, you’d misunderstand me as a Chinese. As for everything about my father, I can’t say because I only know he was a spy from Japan. I was just passing by earlier, not the person you were looking for. However, the person you’re looking for is about my size, and I don’t even know how to use a gun..."

Woman?

The spies exchanged glances, starting to search for flaws in her words. They asked several questions, and she shook her head, indicating she didn’t know.

She definitely couldn’t know, because she’s born to a spy. How could a spy reveal these secrets to her? But when asked where her hometown was, she responded fluently; of course, this was fabricated. She’s been to Japan, had some research on Japanese surnames, so this lie could be covered.

She knew clearly where the ancestors came from.

Asked about her father’s work, she was clueless.

Such responses fit the profession, at least showing a basic work attitude.

Especially the female spy they dispatched to search her body didn’t find any trained marks on her; she was just a common civilian among the Chinese.

Initially, these people didn’t recognize she was a woman. Until the female spy cleaned her up and put her in clean clothing, presenting her in front of them, their eyes lit up. Yishui knew this wasn’t a good sign; she hadn’t expected to infiltrate the Japanese base in such a way.

Afterwards, she was kept there, these people said nothing, did nothing, just kept her like a caged bird. She knew they were investigating her; whether they’d find something out, she didn’t care. For now, her life wasn’t in danger. If there’s risk, she’ll find a way to escape.
