Chen Ping'an was somewhat hesitant, and Qin Huai could see that he wanted to say something, but he felt that he was already a burden and had no standing to speak.
Zhao Cheng'an seemed a bit out of the loop. He looked at Chen Qiusheng, then at Chen Ping'an, then at Liu Sheng, and finally at the group of half-dead wounded in the cellar, directly asking Chen Ping'an, "Ping'an, do you want to keep them here?"
Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Ping'an!" Chen Qiusheng scolded sternly.
"Father, they also defended the city for us," Chen Ping'an said softly. "I want to leave but can't, and Brother Sheng can leave but doesn't. Now the Japanese Army must be searching the entire city. In their condition, where can they go if they leave tonight? Letting them out is like sending them to their death."
Chen Qiusheng hesitated as well.
