The two of them were locked in a dark, gloomy cell, devoid of any light.
The Japanese woman rummaged through Jinyi's belongings, not only uncovering a secret document containing intelligence but also finding an old photograph and a newspaper.
"Give it back to me!" Jinyi exclaimed, her eyes wide with anger as she glared at her. In response, the Japanese woman shot her a disdainful look.
"Hey, what is that? I've never seen anything like it before!" Zhou Yan stretched his neck, trying to get a better look at the people in the photograph and the contents of the newspaper. In his memory, he had never seen Jinyi so anxious and out of sorts.
"What nonsense! Who cares to see it?!" The Japanese woman's hands trembled slightly, and her expression became somewhat unnatural. After saying that, she casually tossed the old photograph and newspaper onto the ground.
The photograph floated down to Zhou Yan's feet, revealing a girl about seven or eight years old, innocent and bright, with a radiant smile.
The photograph had yellowed with age, while the headline of the old newspaper was strikingly bold: "Murderous Maniac Strikes Again at Mingze Girls' School; Bomb Explosion Causes Heavy Casualties."
This was a nightmare buried deep within Jinyi's heart, a scar that pierced her soul.
Because on that day, she lost her only sister, her last remaining family in this world.
"Hey? The girl in this photo looks a bit like her!" Zhou Yan remarked as he glanced between the photograph and the Japanese woman, suddenly understanding why Jinyi was so shocked upon seeing her.
"Nonsense! Yan Yan is dead, and besides, this Japanese dog doesn't deserve to be compared to her!" Jinyi immediately retorted loudly at Zhou Yan's words. In her heart, this Japanese woman could never be compared to her sweet and lovely Yan Yan.
"You..." The Japanese woman was infuriated by Jinyi's words, her face turning red as she raised her hand and slapped Jinyi hard before storming off in anger.
Jinyi gently wiped the dust off the photograph with her sleeve, treating it like a rare treasure as she carefully tucked it back into her bosom. Tears shimmered in her eyes, and the sorrowful expression moved Zhou Yan deeply.
"They say that a brave man doesn't suffer losses in front of him, yet you insist on seeking out trouble," Zhou Yan said softly as he raised his hand slightly, tenderly brushing his knuckles against Jinyi's swollen cheek in a gentle gesture filled with warmth.
He had never imagined that the seemingly strong and resolute woman before him bore such a heavy burden.
Jinyi slowly lifted her head, and what met her gaze was Zhou Yan's eyes filled with compassion. His dark, bright eyes resembled the warm sun on a winter day, instantly enveloping her in warmth and tranquility.
After enduring several days of life-and-death trials, Jinyi found herself developing an endless reliance on Zhou Yan. It was as if, as long as he was by her side, even if they were headed to the most dangerous places, her heart could find peace.
After being imprisoned for a week, Jinyi and Zhou Yan were confronted once more by the Japanese Woman, accompanied by a brutish Japanese Officer with a face full of flesh and a fierce demeanor.
The Japanese Officer twirled his small mustache while muttering something in Japanese. The Japanese Woman nodded repeatedly and responded loudly, "Hai!" She then abruptly turned around and viciously ordered her subordinates to hang Zhou Yan up.
"You already obtained that confidential document, what more do you want?"
At that moment, Zhou Yan was bound in a crucifix position, firmly locked onto the torture rack.
Jinyi's heart tightened instantly, and she couldn't help but shout angrily at the Japanese Woman.
"Bastard! I had an expert decipher it; it’s not even real secret intelligence! So you better hand over the real document quickly so he can suffer less pain!"
The Japanese Woman threw the document she had taken from Jinyi right in front of them, her expression turning vicious and sinister in an instant.
"Impossible!" Jinyi furrowed her brows tightly, confusion etched across her face. This document had clearly been taken from Zhao Wanye's safe; how could it be fake?
"Still trying to play dumb with me? Someone, beat him hard!" At her command, several Japanese Soldiers brandished whips soaked in saltwater and relentlessly struck Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan bit his lip tightly, sweat pouring down from the pain, yet he still forced himself to mock loudly, "Come on! Little Japanese Soldier, do you think I'm afraid of you?!"
The Japanese Soldiers were thoroughly enraged by Zhou Yan's defiance, swinging their whips with increasing ferocity.
"Stop! You all, stop!" Jinyi cried out in desperation, her heart racing. She had never faced such coercion before, and the psychological torment of feeling powerless made her wish she could bear all of this for Zhou Yan.
"Don't you know? Then he must know!" the Japanese Officer said in broken Chinese as he leered at Jinyi, stepping closer with a sinister grin.
At that moment, several Japanese Soldiers immediately understood what to do. They pinned Jinyi's shoulders down and began to tear at her clothes with rough hands.
"You beasts! You will pay for this!" Jinyi screamed, struggling with all her might, but ultimately she was no match for their numbers.
With a sharp "rip," her outer garment was torn in half.
"You bastard, what are you doing?! Don't come near her! That document..." Zhou Yan, barely conscious from the beating he had received, suddenly snapped back to awareness at the sound of Jinyi's cries.
He watched helplessly as she was besieged by a pack of brutes, feeling as if countless ants were gnawing at his heart, causing him unbearable pain.
"Major Harada—" Zhou Yan's shout was interrupted by a Japanese Woman who seemed reluctant to witness the scene unfolding before her. She wanted to intervene, but Harada ignored her pleas.
Everyone was engulfed in the tense chaos, unaware that the Japanese Woman was quietly tightening her grip on the gun at her waist.
Just as she was about to draw her weapon, a flustered Japanese Soldier rushed in shouting, "Major Harada, Colonel Fujiwara wants to see you right away."
Thus, the group had no choice but to leave the cell immediately. Jinyi let out a heavy sigh of relief and collapsed onto the ground, feeling utterly drained.
