The living room had become a mourning hall, with Connor Whitlock's coffin on one side and Yilang's coffin on the other. The three brothers of the Zhu family, dressed in mourning clothes, sat on either side of the coffin.
Aiden Whitlock muttered, "My whole family blames me, but the situation at that time was so bad that no one could stand it. Those people broke Mr. Chen's neck with a snap. His neck was much longer than usual. He lay there with his eyes rolled back. Who wouldn't be scared? Lao Er, maybe you could stand it if you were there?" Ethan Whitlock said, "I couldn't stand it either. What's the point of standing up to him? If I stood up, I would die. My neck would be snapped! It would be great if I couldn't stand it. I could still get a job as a managing director." Aiden Whitlock said, "Lao Er, why are you beating around the bush? Didn't I just lie and lose the Shanhe Mine?" Caleb Whitlock said, "Just shut up. It's not just the Shanhe Mine that was lost." Aiden Whitlock stared and said, "Tell me, what else was lost? Tell me!"
Ethan Whitlock was annoyed, so he stood up and went to Aiden Whitlock and said, "I see you are worried about something tonight!" Aiden Whitlock nodded and said, "Yes, I'm thinking about a few things." Ethan Whitlock said, "What are they?" Aiden Whitlock said, "You see, originally, I was only preparing for our father's funeral, and now there's Yilang, and..." Ethan Whitlock said, "And you're thinking about how to go with our father and Yilang." Aiden Whitlock was a little scared, so he stood up and moved aside. Caleb Whitlock advised Ethan Whitlock, "Second brother, don't get angry tonight, just pretend he's not there." Aiden Whitlock said, "Of course I am the eldest in the family! I'm standing here!" Ethan Whitlock said, "If you keep acting stupid, I'll really beat you up." Caleb Whitlock said, "Second brother, I think you better not get angry. If you really beat him up, there won't be room for a third bed in this room." Ethan Whitlock said, "He's dreaming. Let him keep his body here, get lost! I'll beat him up and throw him into the wild to feed the dogs." Aiden Whitlock shrank into the corner without saying a word.
Morita's face had never been so gloomy as it was at this moment. Ishikawa bowed his head respectfully, not daring to breathe. Morita said: "Didn't you tell the people of Heminghui to keep a close eye on Ichiro?" Ishikawa said: "Who knew that it would happen so suddenly? I didn't see it at first glance. He..." Morita slapped Ishikawa hard and said: "My eyesight is not good, is yours too?" Ishikawa said: "President, please punish me!"
Ozaki suddenly called in and said excitedly: "I have good news for you, the Kwantung Army has taken action in Fengtian." Morita's eyes lit up and said: "Tell me more details." Ozaki said: "I just received a call from the Kwantung Army Headquarters. The Imperial Army, under the cover of tanks, has launched a general attack on the Northeastern Army's Beidaying in Fengtian." Morita said: "How did the Northeastern Army react?" Ozaki said: "They are resisting, but I don't think they can hold out for long." Morita said: "What is the next plan of the Kwantung Army?" Ozaki said: "Fully occupy Manchuria." Morita said: "Okay, thank you, teacher!" Morita put down the phone and said: "Ishikawa, what date is it today?" Ishikawa said: "Showa 6, which is September 18, 1931."
