Chapter 743 The collapsed British ambassador
When Lin Yue brought Fang Xingwen into the room, Xie Jinyuan was talking to Yang Ruifu in front of the long table about the Japanese fighter planes' attack on the British airship in the morning. If the Japanese really wanted to break up with the British, the Sixings Warehouse would be in danger. Although
I don't want to admit it, but Shangfeng chose to station troops here because he had the idea of "backing up to a big tree to enjoy the shade".
"How did you come?"
Yang Ruifu was surprised to see Lin Yue walking in with Fang Xingwen. Although this guy's actions have won the recognition and gratitude of the grassroots soldiers, he has always hunted Japanese soldiers single-handedly and played with personal heroism, never
To participate in command matters, I don’t know why I went crazy today. I actually came to the Continental Bank warehouse and brought a group of people with me...
Um?
When he saw the flower trap held by Li Xiang who came in behind, his expression suddenly changed and he was about to take out the pistol in his waist.
"do not move."
Yang Ruifu took out his pistol halfway, and a pistol as black as ink with no visible patterns was pressed against his head.
"Lin, do you want to rebel?"
"That's right."
Lin Yue winked at Li Xiang, who pushed Yang Ruifu onto the chair, took out the hemp rope he had prepared and tied him up.
"I should have killed you early in the morning, I should have killed you early in the morning, come here, come here...give me..." Yang Ruifu was stopped by Li Xiang in the middle of his words.
Xie Jinyuan did not pull out his gun, but looked at Lin Yue and said, "What are you planning?"
"..."
Lin Yue did not answer the question, and instructed Li Xiang to hand over Xie Jinyuan's weapons, tie him to a chair next to Yang Ruifu, and then threw two pieces of black cloth to Yang Shusheng and Li Xiang.
"Cover your face."
The two men didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, but they still tied the black cloth on their faces as he was told.
"Hey, answer my question."
Xie Jinyuan struggled to move his body, but the result was that the chair legs moved forward less than half an inch.
"Fang Xingwen."
Lin Yue turned around, walked to the piano, sat down, opened the cover, placed his hands on the black and white keys, and pressed lightly with his ten fingers.
Ding~dong~
The crisp notes burst out and the brisk melody flows in the room. Together with the colorful neon lights opposite, it seems to take people to a world without worries.
The tension outside the door evaporated, and everyone looked at each other, wondering what was going on in the room and why anyone would play the piano.
Many people know that Xie Jinyuan does not have this ability. If he did, he would definitely not hesitate to play a song to relax the nervous soldiers after the battle.
On the other side, Yang Ruifu looked at Fang Xingwen, who was holding a camera to take pictures of himself, and then at the back in front of the piano. He felt like his mind was in a mess. What on earth is this guy going to do?
After the song "Adilina by the Waterside" ended, Lin Yuexu pressed the keys for a moment, put the cover back on, looked at Fang Xingwen and said, "Did you finish the photo?"
"The photo is ready."
After receiving a positive answer, he told Li Xiang to untie Xie Jinyuan and Yang Ruifu and walked out of the room.
The soldiers on the first floor watched Lin Yue come out and then watched him leave with the deserters, with brisk notes still echoing in their ears.
He... didn't come here to play the piano, right?
When Lin Yue walked to the stairs, he met Shangguan Zhibiao who came after hearing the news. Although there were seven or eight people behind him with guns in their hands, he did not say anything or ask anything in the end and allowed the deserters to leave.
Continental Bank warehouse.
"Liu Nanyang, Wang Puzhao, give me..."
Yang Ruifu rushed out of the room and was about to tell the orderlies to wake up the sleeping soldiers of the 524th regiment to settle accounts with the deserters, but Xie Jinyuan stopped him.
"I think he has no malicious intent."
"No malice? No malice in bringing people here to cause trouble and tying us up?"
"He should be planning something we don't know about."
"Why do you keep talking to him?"
"Because I'm not as good as him."
Yang Ruifu replied to Xie Jinyuan with one sentence, opened his mouth, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't hold it in. Tuan Fu said that he was not as good as Lin Yue, how could he still belittle him? That would not make Tuan Fu feel bad.
Has it been shot underground?
…
after an hour.
South bank of Suzhou River.
Fang Xingwen looked at the knife with a disgusting face, and then at the high-sensitivity figure sitting in front of the gambling table with his cheeks dragging his cheeks, staring at Lin Yue playing the harmonica opposite him without blinking. It still feels unreal to this day.
How I got to the other side, I don’t know.
I don’t know what Lin Yue wants to do.
How he managed to deal with Sister Rong, Du Yuesheng and that woman, I don’t know.
Fang Xingwen looked at the woman standing in front of the window - she was wearing a black cardigan with a deep V-neck, a long white skirt underneath, and a mink shawl on the elbow-length gloves to keep out the cold. There was a sense of elegance.
Elegant style.
He did not admit it wrong, she was Lu Xiaodie, the most beautiful woman in the Republic of China.
"Back, Sister Rong is back."
When he was removing the ashes from the knife, he glanced out the window and noticed that there was a car at the door. He quickly walked over and opened the door.
The driver of the car pushed open the cab door and walked out, then went over and opened the rear door.
Du Yuesheng and Liu Rong got out of the car and walked to the casino hall.
The two walked through the door, Lin Yue put down his harmonica, Gao Min was stunned for a moment and realized that the person was back, and turned to look at the door.
Lu Xiaodie turned around and said, "How's it going?"
Liu Rong looked strange: "Baden wants to see you."
Not only could she not understand it, but Du Yuesheng also found it difficult to accept it. Last time Lin Yue yelled at Baden in the consulate and almost put a knife on the ambassador's neck. Everyone thought he was crazy. This time, the British were greatly offended.
Well, how did I know that when I went to the consulate today to check the British population, I "casually" said thank you to the group leader that his friend came to the South Bank again, and Baden said that he wanted to meet him.
In the past, I had to ask my grandfather to tell my grandma before agreeing to meet. Now I just need to report the news. This is really... ironic.
Lin Yue handed the harmonica to Gao Min and said with a smile: "What did I say?"
"Yes, yes, you've got it figured out." Gao Min took the harmonica and didn't mind that he had just used it. He held it in his mouth and tried to play it twice, but found that he couldn't grasp the rhythm and couldn't play Lin Yue at all.
The mellow and melodious tune I just played on the harmonica.
Lin Yue stood up and said to Fang Xingwen: "Let's go."
"You just took him there?" Liu Rong was referring to the injuries on Fang Xingwen's face. His left eye was bruised and swollen, and there was a ball of blood at the corner of his mouth. It looked like he had been beaten. It was really unsightly. According to the British,
Being picky will definitely not be a good impression.
"Injuries sustained while fighting the Japanese are called honor, right?"
Fang Xingwen felt that his face was a little hot, and he tried his best to squeeze out a smile. What kind of injury did he get from fighting with the Japanese? It was obviously caused by this guy.
"You guys just wait here, I'll just go with Reporter Fang." After saying this, Lin Yue and Fang Xingwen got into the car. The driver nodded to Du Yuesheng and drove them to the ambassador's residence.
…
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Yue and Fang Xingwen were led by the reception staff to the living room.
Different from last time, Baden had been waiting inside for a long time. When he saw him arriving, he stood up and greeted him: "Mr. Lin, good evening."
"Good evening."
Lin Yue exchanged greetings with the old guy, briefly introduced Fang Xingwen's identity, sat down on the sofa opposite Baden, and said straight to the point: "I wonder what the ambassador's orders are for the late-night summons?"
"Since Mr. Lin is a friend of Xie Tuanfu, can I persuade Xie Tuanfu to lower the flag on the rooftop of Sihang Warehouse?"
Lin Yue's face changed: "Mr. Baden, don't you think this request is too much? Sihang Warehouse is our territory, can't we even raise the national flag on our own? What if I tell you, let you put the British flag in the concession?
Descend, will you agree?"
This time it was Baden's turn to look ugly. After the last contact, he knew that this young man was not easy to talk to, so he was mentally prepared before the meeting. Unexpectedly, he still choked half to death on one sentence.
"Mr. Lin, I think it is necessary to remind you that the situation in Sihang Warehouse is different from that in the concession."
"Different? Mr. Baden, please stop talking to me about these useless things. You know why the flag is lowered." Lin Yue snorted coldly and continued: "Because of what happened this morning, the relationship between Japan and Britain is very tense now.
Raising the flag at this critical moment is tantamount to provoking the Japanese army. If they do not attack, it will be a blow to the morale of the army and domestic public opinion. If they attack, after experiencing the crash of the airship and the death of the sentry, if the concession side turns a blind eye and continues
Appeasement, Chamberlain's cabinet will be under great pressure, and the Brussels Conference is about to open. The words "the Empire on which the sun never sets" will become an international laughing stock. If the concessions take revenge, the conflict will further escalate, which is equivalent to attacking Japan.
War has been declared, am I right?"
Baden opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Fang Xingwen, who was accompanying the guest next to him, cursed three "Niang Xipi" in his mind. This guy looked like he was only 20 years old, and his grasp of the current situation was absolutely amazing.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Lin Yue was unreasonable: "The Japanese killed all your military observers. What you want is not to avenge the dead and rectify the name of the country, but not to continue to provoke the enemy. You know, before us
There is a word in the dictionary called 'coward', and I think it is appropriate to give it to you British people."
Niang Xipi?
Mom wants to pit her grandpa!
