Chapter seven hundred and twentieth six preemptive arrest
Robert's attitude surprised the other senior management of the concession. They didn't know what to do for a moment. The person who had just spoken looked extremely ugly.
He wanted to say something, but Robert had already left the hall without any intention of stopping. He obviously didn't want to pay attention to these people.
When Robert walked out of the hall, the assistant military attache of the consulate was the first to follow the British consul.
The military attache of the consulate also thought to himself, no wonder the consul didn't stop those people from searching for their families. He originally planned to abandon them.
The assistant military attache at the consulate was not dissatisfied with Robert's approach, but actually had some approval.
After all, the fewer people leaving, the higher the security. If they all bring their families, they may not be able to leave.
The rest of the people saw Robert and the consulate military attache leaving one after another, and hurriedly followed them, even though they were tied with ropes, they were very fast.
Seeing this situation, the person who made the suggestion had no choice but to follow him immediately, but his face didn't look very good.
"Mr. Robert, is there anyone else?"
When leaving the hall, Li Yunsheng asked by the way. After all, he had heard what he just said.
"Don't worry so much, Mr. Li just needs to take us away safely."
Robert didn't say much, after all, he had already made preparations and planned to give up on those people.
In fact, in Robert's mind, he didn't even want to take a few other British people with him. After all, the appearance of white people was too conspicuous. With so many people together, the risk would be greater.
But if he left alone, it would be difficult for him to explain to the British government in the future, and he would be accused of fleeing before the battle, so he took those people with him.
Fortunately, Li Yunsheng's method made Robert feel relieved. After all, pretending to be a Japanese army to escort the prisoners was very safe, so he took those people with him without hesitation.
"That's good."
Li Yunsheng did not continue to ask, after all, the white man's matter had nothing to do with him.
What's more, in Li Yunsheng's mind, it would be better if more British people died. In the future, white people would be able to fight harder against the Japanese.
Robert's ruthlessness was beyond Li Yunsheng's expectation. He did not expect that this white consul would abandon his companions without hesitation.
This situation reminded Li Yunsheng that during the Japanese march south, the Chinese Expeditionary Force seemed to have been betrayed by the British, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
Just as Li Yunsheng thought about the expeditionary force, he heard a burst of intense gunfire coming from nearby.
"Get in the car quickly."
Hearing gunshots nearby, Li Yunsheng didn't think much and immediately asked Robert and others to get in the car and signaled others to prepare for defense.
The sound of gunshots was so close that Robert and others became frightened. They climbed onto the car quickly, with very agile movements, as if they had been trained.
As soon as several senior concession officials climbed into the car, Li Yunsheng saw several white people running from a distance.
These white men and women, including two children, were running towards the Ministry of Industry Bureau in a hurry.
Behind a few white people, there were also a few Japanese soldiers, chasing after them quickly and firing a few shots from time to time.
Maybe the Japanese soldiers wanted to capture them alive, so the bullets didn't hit a few white people, so they allowed a few white people to escape.
Even so, the few white men were in a very embarrassed state, while the Japanese soldiers behind them were chasing faster and faster, and the distance between them was gradually shrinking.
"It's Hogg!"
At this time, a white man suddenly spoke, with a bit of excitement in his tone, mixed with some nervousness.
The white man's voice was not loud, and there were gunfire all around, so it didn't reach very far.
But Li Yunsheng still frowned and said viciously: "Shut up."
After he finished speaking, he signaled to his agents with his eyes to tell them to take care of these white people.
The military commander's agents were not slow in their actions and responded immediately. They immediately blocked the mouth of the person who spoke, showing a fierce look.
The person who spoke knew that he had done something wrong and wanted to say something, but the white people around him all commented on him with cold eyes.
Especially Robert, he whispered: "If you dare to speak again, I will kill you first so as not to harm us."
Robert's tone was very stern and his attitude was very clear. He also looked at the person who spoke with fierce eyes.
The gaze of his companion and Robert's words made the speaker nervous for a moment, and he immediately stood still, not daring to say another word.
Although Robert's voice was very low and his speaking speed was very fast, Li Yunsheng still heard clearly and couldn't help but nodded, thinking that this white consul was not too confused.
“Play it by ear.”
After saying something to the people around him, Li Yunsheng looked at the few people running over.
At this time, the few white people who ran over were already less than fifty meters away from Li Yunsheng and others.
From a distance of fifty meters, everything could be seen clearly, so when these white people saw Li Yunsheng and others wearing Japanese military uniforms, they couldn't help but look desperate.
Several white people also looked around and found that there was no other way. Knowing that it was a dead end, they gave up escaping and immediately knelt on the ground and raised their hands high.
Seeing the reactions of the white people, Li Yunsheng narrowed his eyes, waved immediately, and then walked towards the white people.
Although several agents around Li Yunsheng didn't know what their boss was planning, they quickly stepped forward and followed Li Yunsheng.
As he stepped forward again, Li Yunsheng whispered: "We will take action first and treat these people as our prisoners."
Upon hearing Li Yunsheng's words, several of his men immediately nodded and then accelerated their advance.
Because they were closer to the white men than the chasing Japanese soldiers, Li Yunsheng and others reached the white men first.
"Arrest these people."
Arriving in front of several white people, Li Yunsheng immediately gave instructions, speaking in Japanese of course.
Although the agents under his command did not understand Japanese, they were very familiar with each other. Coupled with the gestures made by Li Yunsheng, they immediately understood and arrested several white people.
While his men were arresting people, Li Yunsheng was not idle either. He quickly grabbed the suitcase carried by the white man and carefully placed it behind him.
"This is our prisoner."
At this time, Japanese soldiers chasing several white people also rushed over.
But these Japanese soldiers were a step late. When they arrived, several white people had already fallen into Li Yunsheng's hands.
"We caught this first. You guys are late. Go somewhere else."
Li Yunsheng responded immediately, with a very proud look on his face, as if he wanted to rob the prisoner.
After listening to Li Yunsheng's words, the Japanese soldiers who were chasing them said in a very aura: "These are the people we have been chasing. It would be too much for you to suddenly come out to rob them!"
These Japanese soldiers chased these white people all the way down the street. Naturally they were unwilling to face such a result, so they came over to negotiate and wanted to take the white people back.
As this man asked for prisoners, other Japanese soldiers stepped forward one after another, making the situation tense, as if a conflict was about to occur.
