I had successfully found a way in and managed to build a nice relationship between Miss Carter ( me ) and Hidetora Tojo . Yang ’ s father had been forced to work for Tojo before and when Yang ’ s father died , he was forced to carry on for his father .
It was Monday . Yang told me he sensed danger was coming . I was worried . In the afternoon , I quickly finished the appointment with Tojo and went off to the restaurant . In the twinkling of an eye , a familiar tall figure fell down to the ground together with splashed blood and a single bullet . I was shocked , not by the huge sound , not by the brush burn , not by the guy behind me who was saying “ calm down ”, but by the guy lay weltering in blood . “ Yang ! Don ’ t die ! Don ’ t leave me !” I cried . It was a familiar feeling . Tojo came up to give me a few words of comfort , afterwards he just disappeared into the fog , with another guy who held a silent gun . Following that , hot tears welled up in my eyes and I quickly walked away from this dreadful place , right before I would lose control . I was alone … again . His sweet handsome face lay on the ground in front of me . I couldn ’ t do anything .
Days passed and my grudge against Tojo had doubled . I decided to form a plan and kill Tojo once and for all .
Two days later , in the hotel room , I was picking up my clothes and some Japanese soldiers cropped up and gave me a punch , then everything just turned dark . When I came to my senses I was sitting in a cell and Tojo was looking down at me . I could feel that I was being bound tightly . “ Why am I here , Mr . Tojo ," I asked . " You really don ' t know ?" " … no ," I whimpered . “ All right , tell me where the organisation is ?" Tojo shouted . " What organisation ?" " Don ' t disguise any more , the Communist Party ! WHERE ARE THEY !" " Ok , last chance , tell me where it is !"
I bit through a capsule kept inside my mouth . " Now , tell me where it is !" Tojo shouted . Sweat came out from my forehead , my brain felt like it was trouble . “ Renmin Tearoom ," I answered after all . Everything became blurred . The last sight before my world had switched off again was soldiers going out , and Tojo look back at me with a smile .
Eventually , I regained consciousness . There were few Party members beside me , I could see the happiness and sadness appeared on their faces . Thus I knew , my enemy was dead . But I knew I would be soon as well . The capsule I bit through was the antidote of the drug but it was also poisonous . I have told Tojo the trap address with packs of dynamite in it , and the price for blowing up them is my life . My last wish was that I could go and see the Huangpu River once more . Therefore , the others brought me there and left me alone as I watched on .
Waves rolled in on the beach , water was flowing past in an endless stream . It took me back to my childhood . I walked into the water and put my entire body in the cool water . Looking up , the cloudless azure sky seemed to be within my grasp . My eyes closed gradually , but this time , I saw brightness .
