She just knows the things happened after the brain wash. She is now just a Japenese slave. She simply does what I tell her. About , he is not a Japenese. But he wants to destroy the union because he is a communist. So he is the enemy of the union,too. We joined together to plan the explosion. On that night, Tsuei Er and I were in the office to prepare the explosion at 9:00 pm. Came back from his school to meet us. Tsuei Er passed thriugh the arsenal and pretended to faint in front of the guard. And the guard thus took her to the first-aid room. Before he came back, we went inside the arsenal and set the time bomb. The whole building was then bomd! It was gone! I don't expect that you will descovered that. Althhough you reveal our secret.our great nation, Japan will conquer you stupid Chinese someday!
