Seeing Li Qiang suddenly stunned for a moment, Ming Jing on the side couldn't help but stepped forward and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I just seemed to see an acquaintance. Maybe I was dazzled!" Li Qiang took the last box out of the trunk and looked at the watch. "It's almost time! Sister, are you there?"
Wait for me for a while, I’ll go through the boarding procedures!”
"Okay, go and come back quickly!"
"Got it." After saying that, Li Qiang walked straight to the check-in window.
At this time, there was already a long queue in front of the acceptance window, but Li Qiang did not queue at the end of the queue. Instead, he went directly through the staff passage and entered the office connected to the acceptance window from the back door.
"Who are you? Who asked you to come in?" As soon as he entered the door, a fat man who looked like a manager scolded him sharply.
However, Li Qiang just casually took out his ID and flashed it in front of the man's eyes, and then said in a more stern commanding tone: "Trainee Inspector Huang Qifai of the Central Arrest Room is secretly hunting down an important fugitive. Please cooperate."
, show me this shift’s license plate!”
As soon as these words came out, the fat man in charge was immediately frightened. Without saying a word, he asked someone to bring the package and handed it to Li Qiang tremblingly.
How did he know that Li Qiang actually just made up a random reason, and even his name and ID were all fake, just to check the license of this shift. And the reason why he was so blatant was that he had calculated it accurately.
Even if that person had suspicions, he didn't have the guts to verify it.
After getting the license, Li Qiang started searching without saying anything. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he found the record on it that a passenger named "Wang Chengdong" had successfully completed the boarding formalities.
Then he took out a boat ticket with Mingtai's name on it from his pocket, handed it back to the fat man in charge, and said to him: "Okay, help me register this ticket by the way."
Before he finished speaking, the fat man in charge couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "Hey, don't you just want to add a gag! If you have to talk about hunting down fugitives, you really take off your pants and fart..."
"What are you mumbling about? Can you hurry up? You are taking your time. Could it be that you want to challenge this inspector's patience?"
"The little ones don't dare... don't dare..."
The fat man in charge went through the boarding procedures at Mingtai while trembling almost the whole time. Li Qiang didn't say anything after getting the ticket and registration receipt. He just gave the fat man in charge a warning look and turned around to leave.
.
…
"Woo——!"
As a long whistle sounded, the "Taikoo Lun" Mingtai boarded slowly left the customs pier.
On the deck, Mingtai, like other passengers who were reluctant to say goodbye, tried hard to lean out of the railing, waved his arms to the shore and shouted loudly: "Sister! I'm leaving, you have to take care!"
The mirror on the shore stared deeply at his brother on the deck. Although he didn't say a word, his eyes were filled with care and reluctance.
Even Li Qiang, an outsider, couldn't help but be moved by this scene. He silently stayed by Ming Jing's side and watched the cruise ship gradually go away.
This station lasted for more than an hour. It was not until the crowd on the pier dispersed that Ming Jing finally withdrew his gaze reluctantly and said to Li Qiang: "Let's go back!"
It was only then that Li Qiang discovered that Ming Jing's voice had become very hoarse.
…
On the way home, the two of them kept a tacit understanding of silence until the car drove into the French Concession. Li Qiang suddenly stepped on the brakes without warning and stopped the car.
"What's wrong?" Despite the suddenness of the incident, Ming Jing still immediately recovered from the emotion of separation from his brother and asked urgently.
Li Qiang pointed across the street with his hand, "Sister, look, it's the No. 76 bus!"
As soon as he said this, Mingjing quickly looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough he saw a black car across the street. This kind of car was originally a prison car used by the police station to escort and transfer prisoners. Due to its large passenger capacity, it was
It was used by No. 76 as a special vehicle for carrying out missions.
And this car was able to appear openly in the French Concession. You didn't have to think twice to know that something big must have happened.
Sure enough, not long after Li Qiang stopped the car, a group of No. 76 agents wearing light gray uniforms escorted a man in a long gown into the car.
"These dog spies are so arrogant! They went to the French Concession to arrest people in broad daylight. I really don't know what those people in the Public Security Bureau were thinking!"
However, Li Qiang did not make any statement. He only waited for the person No. 76 to leave before silently restarting the car and sending Ming Jing back to Ming Mansion.
That night, in a hidden attic in the French Concession, Li Qiang, who sneaked out of the Ming Mansion in the name of working overtime, was about to report Wang Manchun's convert plan when he suddenly received a series of urgent messages.
"The situation is critical, the fisherman will go into hibernation immediately!"
Although the content of the message was very short, it was sent seven or eight times in a row, and the method of sending the message became faster and faster each time. You must know that this is a serious violation of the discipline of sending and receiving messages. You can imagine what will happen over there.
situation.
Although the message repeatedly ordered him to enter hibernation immediately, Li Qiang still tried to call twice using the emergency code, but did not receive any response!
This made Li Qiang's heart twitch unconsciously, and then his eyes fell on the shell gun on the table involuntarily, and he said to himself: "General, please don't let anything happen to you!"
After that, Li Qiang sorted out his emotions a little, put on the headphones again, and quickly pressed the buttons with his fingers to send out the latest information obtained one by one.
"Recently, there are rumors that Jason did not leave Shanghai after completing the assassination mission. Please verify it. If it is true, please give instructions whether to assist him in evacuating immediately!"
"It is reported that No. 76 is secretly planning and executing the convert plan, intending to use a fake convert to lure us into taking sanctions."
"The poisonous bees have been successfully transferred a few days ago, and the cover mission has been completed."
This time, the telegram was sent and he received a reply soon after. What interested Li Qiang the most was the last sentence in the reply: The strategic latent team is in place, codename: Viper!
"Viper..." After hearing the code name of Viper, Li Qiang couldn't help but ponder for a moment. Then he burned the message he just received and said to himself, "Who could it be? I hope Boss Dai can be more reliable this time.
, don’t send a ‘madman’ over like last time! Then I’ll really be in trouble!”
