——Xinyu, when you read this letter, I am already on my way back to my country. I believe that everything that happened has already been destined. When I say goodbye, I have a lot to say to you.
I don’t know where to start when I mention the pen. If I could turn back time, I think I would still like you and fall in love with you. If we are destined, we may meet again! Farewell, I love you, Mina!
Jiang Xinyu jumped out of bed, rushed out of the bedroom in a few steps, hurried back, put on clothes haphazardly, grabbed his briefcase and left the house.
After getting in the car, Jiang Xinyu stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car sped towards Baihe Pier like an arrow leaving the string!
Fortunately, it was early in the morning and there were not many pedestrians and vehicles on the road. The one-hour drive took him less than forty minutes.
When they arrived at the pier, Jiang Xinyu didn't even have time to turn off the car. He ran to the ticket office and asked, "Excuse me, is there a boat to Japan this morning?"
The conductor, who had a haircut like a chicken coop, had obviously just woken up, and yawned profusely as he said, "A ship to Japan? You have to go to the embassy to get a visa first..."
"What are you talking about about visa? I'll ask you if there is a boat to Japan!" Jiang Xinyu yelled. If the ticket window wasn't too small, he really wanted to rush in and beat this guy awake.
The conductor glanced at him and said lazily: "Sir, don't worry, I will check it for you..."
Jiang Xinyu stopped talking nonsense to him, took out his pistol and slapped it on the table.
Seeing the pistol, the conductor's movements immediately became deft. He quickly opened a blue book, took a few glances, and said respectfully: "Sir, there was a ship leaving the port in the morning, and its destination was Osaka. However, that is not
Merchant ships are Japanese official ships."
"What time does the boat sail?"
"six o'clock."
Jiang Xinyu raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was now half past seven, and the ship had already sailed into the vast sea!
His legs felt weak and he sat on the bench next to him, holding on to the wall.
"Your gun..." The conductor leaned out of the window with a chicken coop hairstyle and reminded Jiang Xinyu in a flattering manner.
Jiang Xinyu now understands why Hattori Mina was so abnormal last night. She decided to go back to Japan to leave herself the last tenderness...
In fact, in the final analysis, Hattori Mina still failed to resolve her knot.
She still can't let go of her brother's death. If she continues to choose to live with Jiang Xinyu, she will feel psychologically guilty!
Coupled with Japan's defeat and surrender, there were more and more hateful remarks about the Japanese around her, which made her feel very uncomfortable. No one wanted to live in this atmosphere!
Jiang Xinyu walked slowly in despair, recalling every moment of being with Hattori Mina, and felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Jiang? Why are you here so early in the morning?" Hang Laokan walked over and greeted him with a loud voice.
Jiang Xinyu calmed down and said, "Oh, I'll...send a friend off."
Hang Laokan said enthusiastically: "Now that you are here, come to my place and have a cup of tea before leaving."
"Let's go another day, I have something else to do."
"Don't bother me. I just have something to tell you. I can't waste a few minutes of your time."
"...Wait a minute, I'll take out the car key!"
"No need, in our territory, you just put the golden mountain here, not even an inch is missing!"
Hang Laokan turned around and shouted: "Lao Wu, Lao Wu, come here!"
"What are your orders?" Lao Wu trotted over.
Hang Laokan pointed to the distance and said, "Have you seen that car? Go over and take care of it. If a piece of paint is scratched off, I will deduct it from your wages to repair the car!"
"Don't worry, this won't be a problem!" Lao assured, patting his chest.
"Mr. Jiang, please come this way!" Hang Laokan led the way and led Jiang Xinyu into a room.
There was a lot of gambling going on in the room. They were all Hang Laokan's subordinates, managing hundreds of coolies. Without this gang of thugs, it would be impossible to control the situation.
Hang Laokan glared and scolded: "Betting early in the morning, you guys have nothing to do?"
One of his subordinates said: "Boss, work hasn't started yet. I have nothing to do to play..."
Hang Laokan waved his hand impatiently and said, "Didn't you see I have guests? Get out!"
Jiang Xinyu sat on a chair and said, "Lao Kan, you have quite a bad temper!"
Hang Laokan accompanied the smiling face and said: "We must be tougher on these guys. If we give them a good look, in a few days, they will all have their noses in their faces, and then there will be nothing to control!"
Jiang Xinyu nodded and said, "That's right."
Hang Laokan made a cup of tea, put it on the table and said, "Try the authentic Mingqian Longjing."
"It's luxurious enough to drink such expensive tea." Jiang Xinyu said absently.
Hang Laokan smiled and said: "This was given to me by Captain Iwase. In fact, everything I drink tastes the same."
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Jiang Xinyu glanced at his watch.
"Mr. Jiang, to be honest, even if you asked me to guess a hundred times a thousand times, I would never have guessed that you were from Chongqing..."
Jiang Xinyu interrupted him and said: "Lao Kan, if you have something to talk about, don't talk about anything else!"
"Yes, yes, that... Section Chief Ono is looking for you?"
"No."
"Yesterday afternoon, he came to see me!"
"Oh? What does he want from you?"
"He said he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the salt factory hasn't been handed over yet, so he can do something big again!"
Jiang Xinyu sneered: "The Northeast is full of Soviets. Isn't he afraid that as much as he transports over will be robbed?"
Hang Laokan clicked his tongue and said, "Isn't that right? The entire cargo of the merchant ships returning from the Northeast in recent days has been robbed. Without even paying a penny, the ship was almost impounded!"
"All business with the Northeast has been stopped recently." Jiang Xinyu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. The tea was indeed very good, and the fragrance left a lingering aftertaste in his mouth.
"That's what I told Xiaoye too."
"How did he say?"
Jiang Xinyu knew that the reason why Xiaoye came directly to Hanglaokan to discuss business matters was mainly because he was afraid of his current identity and worried that he would get into trouble.
Hang Laokan: "Section Chief Ono is very disappointed. He has goods in hand, but he just can't sell them..."
Jiang Xinyu put down the tea bowl and said, "Lao Kan, what exactly do you want to say?"
Hang Laokan said tentatively: "What I mean is that these goods don't need to be transported to the Northeast at all. There are big buyers in Yanjin!"
Jiang Xinyu glanced at him and said, "You mean selling it to the Eighth Route Army?"
Hang Laokan whispered: "They are in the Huanggang area. I heard that there are tens of thousands of people. They must need a lot of refined salt. Mr. Jiang, you are the deputy representative now, as long as..."
Jiang Xinyu slapped the table and said in a stern voice: "Absolutely not! Lao Kan, I tell you, give up this idea as soon as possible!"
