Chapter 1160 Don't worry, it's all taken care of.
Xu Tian couldn't understand how Yuta Itai could change his attitude so quickly and so completely.
However, regardless of how Yudai Itai's attitude changes, the most crucial thing is that he has already agreed to his proposal.
Xu Tian finally felt relieved. He nodded slightly and said solemnly, "As long as you can guarantee the safety of my family, I will never reveal any of your secrets."
Maintaining contact with you is fine, but I will not act as your spy, much less pass on any information from the Nationalist army to you.
"Yoshi!" Yudai Itai immediately responded excitedly, a bright smile spreading across his face—a smile completely different from his previous demeanor: "I don't care about intelligence!"
"Don't worry, as long as you keep your promise, I will protect your mother and Shen Suqiu, and I will absolutely not let them get hurt!"
His tone became extremely solemn, and his eyes were filled with sincerity: "You don't need to worry about Yingzuo Zhenzhao. With me here, Yingzuo Zhenzhao is not a threat."
Regarding the specifics of your departure from Shanghai, I will arrange it as soon as possible and inform you when the time is right.
"Okay." Xu Tian replied somewhat bewilderedly, not knowing what else to say.
The sight of Itai Yudai before him made him feel both unfamiliar and wary; this feeling of unease was even stronger than when he had faced Yudai's murderous intent earlier.
He even felt that the man in front of him was even more unpredictable than the aloof and sinister head of the military police section he had met before.
Yudai Itai seemed completely oblivious to Xu Tian's discomfort. In high spirits, he called out to the window, "Come here."
Upon hearing the order, the driver, who was standing guard ahead, immediately hurried over, his steps even more rapid than before, clearly worried that something might have happened inside. He walked to the car door, respectfully opened it, and bowed, asking, "Section Chief, what are your orders?"
"Send Mr. Xu back to Tongfu Lane," said Banji Yudai in a deep voice, his tone regaining some of its previous authority, but much gentler than before.
"Hi!" the driver replied, his eyes filled with doubt.
He had clearly felt the atmosphere in the carriage was extremely tense, even carrying a hint of murderous intent. How come less than half an hour later, the section chief asked him to take Mr. Xu back?
Moreover, judging from the section chief's attitude, it seems that his relationship with Mr. Xu has improved considerably.
Although his mind was full of questions, the driver dared not ask any more questions or look any further. He simply closed the car door silently and returned to the driver's seat.
He started the car, much more gently, clearly no longer daring to drive as fast and aggressively as before.
The car slowly started and drove towards Tongfuli.
Silence fell again in the carriage, but this time it was not the heavy and oppressive silence of before, but an eerie quiet.
Yuta Itai leaned back in his chair, his gaze occasionally falling on Xu Tian with a mixture of admiration and warmth, as if he were looking at a rare confidant.
Xu Tian remained leaning back in his seat, calmly watching the street scene flash by outside the window, but his mind was constantly pondering everything that had just happened.
He still couldn't understand Itai Yudai's transformation; the shift from cold, murderous intent to neurotic, manic enthusiasm was simply too bizarre.
He even wondered if Yudai Sakai had completely let go of his concerns because of the proposal he put forward, which was why he showed this side of himself.
Or is this his true nature, and his previous aloofness and murderous intent were just a disguise?
Regardless of the situation, Xu Tian knew that his path ahead would not be easy.
Although he temporarily resolved the trouble with Kagesa Yoshiaki and ensured the safety of his family, his connection with Itai Yudai undoubtedly planted another time bomb for himself.
A man like Yudai Itai is deep-thinking and fickle; no one knows if he might change his mind later for some reason.
But for now, this is the best possible outcome.
Xu Tian took a deep breath, suppressing the various thoughts in his mind, and his eyes became firm again.
As long as he could leave Shanghai, join the National Revolutionary Army, and contribute to the war of resistance, he was willing to walk the difficult road ahead.
As for Yudai Itai, since he is from his cousin's side, as long as he keeps his promise and protects his family, they should be able to live in peace for the time being.
The street scene outside the window gradually became familiar, and the archway of Tongfuli came into view.
The car slowly came to a stop, and the driver turned around and said respectfully, "Mr. Xu, we have arrived at Tongfu Lane."
Xu Tian nodded, opened the car door, and got out.
He didn't turn around and walked straight into the depths of Tongfuli.
Only after his figure disappeared into the shadows at the alley entrance did Yudai Itai withdraw his gaze, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, and say to the driver's seat, "Let's drive."
The car started again and drove in the opposite direction.
Inside the carriage, Yudai Itai leaned back in his seat, his eyes growing deep as he murmured to himself, "Mr. Xu, I hope you won't let me down... Our cooperation has only just begun."
His tone carried a hint of expectation, as well as a subtle desire for control. That neurotic enthusiasm gradually subsided, transforming into a more complex emotion.
When Xu Tian returned home, his mother immediately rushed to greet him the moment he opened the door, her face full of worry. "Tian, you're finally back! Where have you been? Did something happen?"
Looking at his mother's worried eyes, Xu Tian felt a warmth in his heart, and a gentle smile appeared on his face. This was the first time he had smiled tonight.
He stepped forward, gently patted his mother's shoulder, and said calmly, "I'm fine. I just went to see someone and talked about some things. Don't worry, it's all resolved."
Although he still harbored doubts about Yudai Itai and worries about the future, he didn't want his mother to worry about him anymore.
His composure was not only for dealing with the enemy, but also to give his family peace of mind.
Seeing his calm expression, his mother's worries eased a little, but she still couldn't help but remind him, "Tian, things aren't very peaceful outside lately, so you have to be careful and don't run around anymore."
"I understand." Xu Tian nodded and helped his mother into the house to sit down. "I'm tired. I'll go back to my room and rest for a bit."
Back in his room, Xu Tian closed the door, leaned against it, and slowly closed his eyes. Only then did he feel a deep weariness.
The murderous intent surrounding his family and the intense tension in the train carriage had almost exhausted all his energy.
The strange change in Yudai Itai's attitude still lingered in his mind, making him feel inexplicably irritable and uneasy.
He knew that his life had been completely changed from the moment he proposed leaving his family as hostages, and Yudai Itai agreed to his suggestion.
Leaving Shanghai, joining the National Revolutionary Army, and maintaining contact with Yuta Itai—all of this was fraught with unknowns and dangers.
But he had no way out; he could only keep going step by step.
Xu Tian walked to the bedside and sat down, looking calmly at the night outside the window.
He needed to think carefully about how to tell his mother that he was leaving Shanghai—whether to tell the truth, that he was going to join the army to fight against the Japanese, or to find an excuse.
And on the battlefield, guns and cannons have no eyes; he didn't know if he would ever be able to return after leaving Shanghai.
