After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

Chapter 115 Showdown

Because Mei'er could not hear any sound from Tong Jia and Tao Junle in the dungeon, she separated the two people and imprisoned them separately under Pan Meiying's order.

The two cells were not far apart, separated by only a wall.

But Tao Junle couldn't speak, nor could he use sound to convey Morse code, which made the two people who couldn't communicate normally and couldn't see the sun quickly become anxious.

The dungeon door is not a fence type. Except for a small window on the door, the rest of the door is a solid wall.

Tao Junle was taken out again at the last minute, and Tong Jia didn't even have the chance to give him chocolates and candies.

There was no food, no water, and no place to go to the toilet.

In just one day, the dungeon was filled with the smell of mold and the stench of excrement.

Tao Junle was also very embarrassed, but before he was put in solitary confinement, he had been eating and drinking normally with Tong Jia, so his excretion was naturally normal.

He had been holding it in for a long time, and finally resolved it when he couldn't hold it in any longer.

In order to reduce the stench, he even covered it with the quilt from his own dungeon, which worked, but because the two dungeons were too close to each other, the effect was only marginal.

On the first day that Tao Junle was held in solitary confinement, the two were hit by a severe stench.

The next day, Tao Junle was extremely hungry, but he could still bear it. Because the dungeon was very humid and the area for movement was limited, he did not feel particularly thirsty.

On the third day, perhaps because he was too hungry, Tao Junle didn't feel hungry, but his mouth was very dry.

All aspects of his body's reactions had become slow. When Tong Jia shouted and asked about his condition, he could only slowly knock on the wall a few times.

The knocking sounds were sometimes loud and sometimes soft, but this was not a pre-arranged signal, but rather that he ran out of strength while knocking.

From the knocking sound on the wall, Tong Jia knew that if this continued, Tao Junle would have no chance of survival.

She shouted directly, "Pan Meiying, Commander Pan! It's me you suspect, it's me you think is problematic. Just come straight to me, why are you torturing a child like this?"

We have been locked up here for quite some time, and you have never given us any food. The fact that we are still living so well has confirmed your guess.

Send Lele back to me. As long as I confirm that he is fine, I will agree to whatever you want me to do."

About five minutes later, Mei'er appeared.

Not only did she let Tao Junle and Tong Jia stay together, she even took them to the conference room on the fifth floor while Tong Jia was awake.

Pan Meiying was already waiting for her there.

Seeing the two of them, Pan Meiying smiled and greeted them: “Xiaotong looks really good, but it’s a pity for us Lele.

Mei'er, take Lele to wash up, eat something, and change into clean clothes.

Dress him up neatly and bring him here.

He is my trump card. If it weren't for him, how could his sister agree to have a good talk with me?"

The last sentence was said to Mei'er and Tong Jia.

What she meant was that she would not take Tao Junle's life now. After all, she still hoped to use Tao Junle to threaten Tong Jia. Tong Jia could safely hand the person over to Mei'er.

Tong Jia was about to let go of Tao Junle's hand when the scene of Tao Junle forcing her to express her stance many times and swearing that she would never abandon him and act alone under any circumstances flashed through her mind.

The hand that was about to let go clenched again.

She said: "I am worried about Lele's current condition.

I have to see him sober up with my own eyes before I talk to you, otherwise..."

"Do you think you are still qualified to negotiate with me?" Pan Meiying looked at Tong Jia with a sneer.

Tong Jia looked back at her and said solemnly, "If it's really like what you said, I'm insignificant to you, and you don't need to spend so much time on me.

If someone hadn't been monitoring us, you wouldn't have been able to bring us up so quickly.

Since I am useful to you, my weaknesses are also exposed to you.

Then why can’t we cooperate and achieve win-win results?

At first, I didn’t want to say it, just because I didn’t want others to think of me as a monster.

You can think about it from another perspective. If you were me, and suddenly something similar to the Qiankun bag appeared in your mind, would you let everyone know?

I'm just an ordinary person who just wants to live an ordinary life with my brother, that's all."

"Okay, I'll give you this chance.

Mei'er, give Lele to her and give the two sisters an hour. If they can't show up here on time after an hour, there is no need to bring them to me again.

No need for trial, just send him directly to be buried with Lan'er and Zhu'er.

Didn't they both often say they missed your makeup teacher? The executioner asked her two younger sisters to come.

Tell them that whoever takes action first will be the team leader and will be paid twice as much as ordinary team members.

Anyway, their sister cares more about the safety of her stepbrother than the two of them, so it doesn't matter whether she has this sister or not.

This sentence must be conveyed to the Rong sisters exactly as it is. "Pan Meiying and Tong Jia stared at each other for a long time, their expressions gradually turning cold as they uttered these increasingly heartless words.

Tong Jia ignored her and quickly fed Tao Junle a bottle of glucose. Then, under Mei'er's guidance, she took him to clean up and change into new clothes.

He woke up when Tong Jia was changing Tao Junle's clothes. Seeing Tong Jia dressing him, his dizzy head suddenly became clear.

He grabbed his collar and stood up from the bed, which scared Tong Jia.

Tong Jia smiled when she saw him like this.

He asked, "Your old clothes are almost pickled and smelly. I gave you a new set of clothes, but you are not happy about it?

Why are you acting like I'm taking advantage of you? Are you unhappy?

It's just right, you're awake now, so get dressed and have something to eat, then we can go meet Pan Meiying together."

Knowing that Tong Jia had told Pan Meiying about her space for his sake, Tao Junle felt guilty but also a little secretly happy.

His sister cared about him, and for him, she was willing to confess such a big secret.

More importantly, there is a feeling that the shoe is finally about to drop.

Ever since he met the old Taoist priest on Mount Tai, he has cherished every minute and every second with Tong Jia. Later, when he saw the scene of Tong Jia in the fire through the novel, he dared not be separated from Tong Jia for a moment.

The current situation makes him feel that that scene may come soon.

Although he was heartbroken to be separated from Tong Jia.

But if after this life is over, he and Tong Jia can really enter the life in the book they read, it can be regarded as making up for the regrets in his life.

However, he had to stand by Tong Jia and he absolutely could not just watch Tong Jia struggle alone in the fire.

Tong Jia didn't know about his inner thoughts. Seeing that Tao Junle had the strength to eat by himself, she began to think about how to negotiate with Pan Meiying.

Although Tao Junle didn't know Pan Meiying's time limit, he didn't want to waste time eating. He quickly grabbed a couple of bites of food, wolfed down a steamed bun, and drank a glass of water. He immediately ran to Tong Jia and used sign language to say, "Sister, did you agree to some conditions to bring me out?"

Tong Jia touched his head and said, "Not yet, doesn't this still need to be discussed?

But you don't have to be afraid. I promised you that I would never abandon you no matter what.

Are you full? If you are, let’s go talk to Pan Meiying.”

Tao Junle nodded, and Tong Jia stood up, holding her hand and walked out.

Mei'er followed behind him and opened the door. Rong Xinzi and Rong Xinzhi were standing outside.

When Tong Jia saw them, she was stunned at first, but when she thought of Pan Meiying's words, she felt relieved about their appearance.

She smiled and asked, "Mei'er, has it been more than an hour now?"

Mei'er checked her watch and said, "No, five more minutes."

"Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Rong, you've made a wasted trip." After saying that, Tong Jia walked around Rong Xinzi and Rong Xinzhi and went straight forward.

Without Mei'er leading the way, Tong Jia directly pushed open the door of the conference room.

At this time, Pan Meiying was sitting on a chair, looking out the window.

Hearing the sound, he lowered his head to glance at his watch, turned back to Tong Jia and smiled, and said, "It's only four minutes to the hour. It seems that you cherish your life very much."

“Who wants to die when they can live well?

Especially... I'm carrying a huge treasure, right?" Tong Jia dragged two chairs out from the side.

He dragged one person in each hand to the window and sat down next to Pan Meiying. At her signal, Tao Junle also sat down.

After sitting down, Tong Jia said, “Just tell me what you want me to do.

As long as I can survive, I will never refuse anything I can do."

Pan Meiying said, "Can you tell me how big your Qiankun bag is? Only by knowing how much you can hold can I judge your true value.

Also, what's in your Qiankun bag now?"

Tong Jia didn't hesitate and directly laid out all the clothes in the RV, and then moved one-third of the tables and chairs in the conference room into the RV.

Pan Meiying looked at the clothes, most of which were exquisite cheongsams. Each set came with a box containing the matching jewelry and handbags.

Looking at the empty space after the tables and chairs disappeared, she frowned.

He asked in disbelief, "Is your Qiankun bag only able to hold this much? Are you sure it's full now?"

Was it full before? Why did you only put clothes and jewelry in it?

Tong Jia spread her hands and said, "It's really only this big. If you don't believe me, I can't let you verify it.

But you can think about it, now I am completely under your control.

I want to live a good life and gain your trust, so I must let you see my greatest value.

It's just my space... the bigger the Qiankun bag is, the more valuable I am to you. I won't hide this and deliberately say it's small.

As for why I only put clothes and jewelry in it, it was because I was scared by the previous shipwreck experiences.

In fact, there were more than just clothes and jewelry. It turned out that there were also some snacks and water in it. It's not that you kept us locked up for so long, we ate them all.

Those clothes are all made of the best materials and are made by the best tailors in Jiangcheng and Shanghai. If they are left outside and get lost or dirty, they will be wasted.

As for those jewellery pieces... Actually, if you look closely, some of them don't match at all. I use this method to save some pocket money for myself.

In today's world, who knows what will happen tomorrow.

No one can be trusted, only money is the most reliable.

But I didn’t have any other way to make money before, so I could only keep some jewelry, which I could use as money in a pinch.”

Pan Meiying didn't know whether she believed it or not, but she nodded anyway.

Then he waved to Tong Jia, stood up and walked out.

As he walked, he said, "Come out with me and put all the tables and chairs you just put into your Qiankun bag into the corridor. I want to see how much you can actually put in this time."

Tong Jia pulled Tao Junle to the door, only to see Mei'er and Zhu'er already standing outside, but Rong Xinzi and Rong Xinzhi were nowhere to be seen.

Mei Er seemed to see through her confusion and explained, "Commander Pan said that your matter is confidential. Except for us, everyone else must keep it secret."

Tong Jia nodded and glanced at Pan Meiying, becoming even more certain that Pan Meiying would not take her life now. She definitely needed her to do something for her.

So, Tong Jia said, "Stand further away. When the things inside are released, they may not fall anywhere. Make sure they don't hit you."

After saying that, she scattered all the tables and chairs out without caring whether others had stepped back or not.

Mei'er failed to dodge in time and her foot was hit by a table.

Pan Meiying looked at the tables and chairs in the corridor, which took up about 11 or 12 square meters, and asked, "The floor space is fixed, so is the height also fixed?"

Tong Jia nodded, and Pan Meiying raised her chin towards Mei'er and said, "Take them there first, and I'll think about it."

Afterwards, Mei'er took Tong Jia and Tao Junle to the attic.

About two hours later, Pan Meiying came to find Tong Jia.

She said, "There are three locations on the outskirts of the provincial capital where Fusang soldiers are stationed. They have some military reserves, and I need you to help me steal them back."

Tong Jia widened her eyes and looked at her with an expression that said, "Are you crazy?"

Seeing that Pan Meiying was still calm, she asked, "Soldiers who can be described as stationed shouldn't be guerrillas, right?

Not to mention thousands, there should be hundreds of people, right?

My place is so small that it can’t even hold the military reserves of one place, let alone three places?

If you want my life, you can just take it. There's no need to give me an impossible task to make things difficult for me."

Pan Meiying nodded and said, "There are quite a few people, but... I only asked you to transport the weapons out, not anything else.

I have already figured out the situation. They don't have many weapons and equipment. The weapons and equipment from the three places combined can just make up for the weapons we lost before.

The three places are far away from each other, so we will take you there by car and go to the three places in one night, and bring back as much as we can.

You don't have to worry about anything else. Your safety will be taken care of by someone who will definitely not let anything happen to you."

Tong Jia had no room for bargaining and had no choice but to agree to it.
