At noon, Jin Ye changed into ordinary clothes, tied a long ponytail into a bun from the back of his head, then picked up the cloth bag and took the initiative to ask Yanni to have lunch.
At Jin Ye's request, Yanni also changed into simple clothes. At the same time, she divided a thick black braid into two parts and tied two knots on each side behind her ears.
Yanni is not a fool. Judging from Jin Ye's dress requirements, this is clearly a conspiracy.
He passed several restaurants along the way, but Jin Ye didn't pay attention to the appearance and walked south along the street.
Approaching an "X"-shaped intersection, seven or eight Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared on the west side. Walking in front was a small leader armed with a pistol.
As the Japs headed east, Jin Ye and Yanni followed them.
Yanni asked: "Jinye, do you want to take action?"
Jin Ye said: "I'm not sure yet, we'll decide based on the situation."
After walking forward for more than a hundred meters, the Japs suddenly turned left and walked into a hotel with a luxurious appearance. Judging from the door plaque, the name of the restaurant was Delicious Restaurant.
When Jin Ye and Yanni entered the hall, there were no ghosts in the hall, only civilian diners in groups of three to five and tables of four to five.
Jin Ye secretly concluded that the Japanese must be upstairs.
After looking around for a moment, Jin Ye walked five meters across from the stairs, stopped in front of the first dining table, and sat opposite Yanni.
While the waiter was carrying water and making tea, he asked Jin Ye what kind of food and rice he wanted.
Jin Ye said, a chicken stewed with pine mushrooms, a plate of braised fish fillets, and two bowls of rice.
Just as Jin Ye was ordering, a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat walked into the hall and sat down at the third table opposite Jin Ye.
After the waiter finished serving the golden leaves, he asked the man in the straw hat to order food.
The man in the straw hat raised the brim of his hat, first ordered a plate of fried tofu with chili, then a plate of fried shredded potatoes, and finally a bowl of old soju.
When the waiter brought the rice, Jin Ye asked for the check.
After adding up, the waiter told Jin Ye that the total was seven yuan and fifty cents.
Jin Ye took out a twenty-yuan local coin from his pocket and continued: "Little brother, I see that you are diligent and fast. There is no need to give change for the remaining money. I will give it to you as a tip."
Leng Buding received such a large tip, and the waiter was very grateful, but he didn't know that it was Jin Ye's hush money that he intentionally gave to him.
Anyone who is familiar with it knows that Jin Ye devours his meals very quickly on weekdays, but today he ate very slowly and deliberately delayed his time.
In my anxiety, I didn't realize that more than an hour had passed. The diners in the hall left one after another, and there were less than twenty people left.
When no one was paying attention, Jin Ye stretched the bag hanging on his shoulder under the table, then took out a shell gun and asked Yanni to pick it up.
Yanni glanced left and right and quickly hid the shell gun in her coat lapel.
After another ten minutes, there was a buzzing sound from upstairs. Jin Ye quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks and told Yanni to pay attention to her password.
After a while, the leading Japanese officer was the first to step into the stairs. Jin Ye and Yanni held their breaths and grasped the handles of their guns in unison.
When the Japanese entered the stairs one by one, Jin Ye shouted: "Hit me."
Along with Jin Ye's roar, Yanni stood up suddenly, fired two shell guns side by side, and the bullets flew away from the barrels of the guns.
In an instant, the Japanese leader and two soldiers screamed to death. Some of the remaining soldiers clung to the wall, some leaned against the railings, and quickly raised their guns to fight back. Bullets hit the dining table, and plates and bowls clinked.
All the diners were stunned by the sudden gunfire. Some screamed and ran away, while others hid under the dining table. Only the man in the straw hat did not move at all.
Jin Ye and Yanni kept adjusting their postures while shooting.
At this time, a Japs pointed their guns at Jin Ye, but were shot dead by Yanni. Another Japs just pointed their guns at Yanni, and were shot twice by Jin Ye, causing him to fall down crookedly.
The remaining three Japs roared and rushed over like trapped animals.
Jin Ye's eyes widened in anger, and he fired wildly at the approaching Japanese soldiers. He saw the Japanese soldiers falling into a pool of blood one after another.
As soon as the gunshots fell, Jin Ye rushed up the stairs and took off a small pistol from the Japs waist.
When Jin Ye and Yanni ran out of the hotel, the man in the straw hat had already boarded the rickshaw: "Girl, my surname is He. I work as a helper at Xianghe Hotel. Get in the car quickly."
Jin Ye and Yanni immediately understood Lao He's identity and hurriedly boarded the rickshaw without saying a word.

In order to avoid a large-scale search by the Japanese, Jin Ye and Yanni stepped into the guest room, first restored their clothes and hairstyle when they entered the city, then packed up their luggage, and soon arrived at Auntie Ma's home.
Sure enough, Xianghe Hotel was raided twice in the afternoon and night.
According to Station Commander Li's judgment, after completing the search of the hotel and inn, Ando most likely changed direction and turned his target to residential buildings.
At dawn the next day, Station Commander Li instructed Ma Xiaoyue to go and inquire about the security situation at the checkpoint.
As soon as Ma Xiaoyue walked out of the accounting room, stationmaster Li ordered Lao He to take Jin Ye and Yanni back to the hotel.
According to Jin Ye's plan, after breakfast today, he will go to visit his nephew first, and then he can set off and return to camp that day.
But things backfired, and Ando's martial law order wasted gold leaf's wish.
Listen to Ma Xiaoyue say——
Among the Japanese killed yesterday, one was a squad leader. Although his official position was not high, his status was very special. He was the biological son of the commander.
The captain of the regiment instructed Ando to declare martial law and no one was allowed to enter or leave the county for three days.
Not only that, Tahara also sent an inspector. Without the inspector's personal approval, even Ando couldn't even think of stepping out of the city gate.
Ma Xiaoyue went on to say that when she returned from the checkpoint in the south of the city, she was interrogated and followed by plainclothes dogs again.
As soon as he heard that the whole city was under martial law, Jin Ye couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, because Shanzi only gave him two days, and if he couldn't return today, he would definitely be in big trouble.
But Jin Ye is Jin Ye after all, a strong woman who can take things and let them go. Now that the matter has come to this, she can only relax her mind and face it calmly.
At noon, a rickshaw drove into the west alley of Kaiyuan Middle School.
Jin Ye was carrying a bag of candies. After getting off the bus with Yanni, the waiter drove back.
Walking to the door of Bao Yulian's house, Jin Ye called for his sister-in-law and knocked on the door.
Bao Yulian could hear the sound of golden leaves and hurriedly opened the door bolt.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Jinye asked, "Where is Baozi?"
Bao Yulian smiled bitterly: "I waited for you all day yesterday, but I never saw you coming. Today I went to his second uncle's house with my grandma. I will call him back later."
Jin Ye scolded: "You're so damn big, it's really not the right time to be drying yourself on a rainy day."
After returning to the hall and making tea, Bao Yulian suddenly asked: "By the way, Ye Zi, the Japanese are under martial law today. How did you and Yanni get into the city?"
Jin Ye said: "I came yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Bao Yulian's eyes were filled with surprise: "Jin Ye, tell the truth to your sister-in-law. What happened to the delicious restaurant yesterday must have been done by you two, right?"
Jin Ye asked back: "So what, you can't tell the truth, right?"
Bao Yulian said: "The whole city will be under martial law for three days. Let's see how you go back."
Jin Ye said: "What's so difficult about this? Just wait."
Bao Yulian continued: "It's a good idea. Even if you are allowed to leave the city after three days, the checkpoints will not relax and all suspicious people will be detained and interrogated until the real culprit is caught. How long can you and Yanni wait?"
When Jin Ye heard this, he almost fainted: "Nonsense, how do you know this?"
Bao Yulian smiled slightly: "Not only do I know, everyone in the county knows."
Jin Ye was speechless, as if he was about to cry.
Seeing her sister-in-law's sad eyes, Bao Yulian softened her tone and said, "Yi Zi, there is a saying that says, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. After three days, my sister-in-law will send you two out of the county."
Jin Ye was stunned and asked with wide eyes: "Sister-in-law, can you do this?"
Bao Yulian still smiled slightly: "The name of the Japanese deputy captain is Shiro Ishikawa. I love Chinese culture very much. I often go to calligraphy and painting shops to buy books, calligraphy and paintings, and we become familiar with it."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Jin Ye cursed angrily: "The next three are bad."
Bao Yulian sighed softly: "I knew you would misunderstand my sister-in-law, but please believe that my sister-in-law is innocent and at least knows how to be a Chinese."
Bao Yulian spoke sincerely, Jin Ye was half-convinced and even more confused.
