493, just want to ask me to stay for two more days!
"Don't worry, it should be fine!"
"In addition, I have another worry. I wonder if the Japanese soldiers will come to check. If they come, please don't say anything and be patient. Mr. Gao, who rented the boat, hasn't come yet. We can't leave until he comes.
"
Chen Zifeng nodded to him but said nothing.
"Then, I'm going to do my business." Officer Zhang closed the iron door of the coal bunker and walked away quietly.
29-24
The fierce fighting on the dock stopped a few minutes ago. The losses on both sides were huge!
Many of Peng Shaoyong's brothers died, and some were seriously injured and captured by the Japanese army! Those who were not captured were evacuated in accordance with his orders.
To be honest, tonight's action paid a huge price! It was almost like burning the boat!
At this moment, he was hiding in the corner of the cargo yard and observing. He had to watch Hongyuan sail out of the port before he could go back!
Otherwise, he cannot report to Chief Gu and Chief Gong!
29-25
Ying Si led the soldiers to clean up the battlefield after the fierce battle. What he saw was also huge casualties!
The dead Japanese soldiers had been carried over and placed in a long row beside the Hongyuan ship! The injured soldiers had blood stains on their faces or bodies and were sitting next to them. The medical soldiers were bandaging their wounds.
Those Chinese are simply crazy! Even if they grab the boat, can they sail away? They can't even get out of the Huangpu River Estuary!
Therefore, Yingji was also full of doubts.
He feels that tonight's fierce surprise attack is inevitable, but also unnecessary! As long as the Chinese have some sense, they will never do this! The question is, what do the Chinese want to do?
He boarded the ship with doubts, took a group of soldiers, and inspected the entire ship again.
The cargo hold was so full of cargo that not even a mouse could squeeze in, let alone hide a person! He still asked the soldiers to look up and down with flashlights.
There was no problem in the cabin. Except for the room where Gao Zongwu lived, which could only be occupied by distinguished guests, the other rooms were occupied by Japanese soldiers escorting the ship. To be on the safe side, he checked them one by one!
He also inspected the cockpit and the steerage where the crew lived, looking at every corner.
But finally, when he reached the door of the engine room, he had to stop.
The engine room was full of smoke, the fire was shining, and the heat wave was hitting our faces, it was like hell!
The flames in the boiler spurted out of the furnace mouth from time to time, emitting scorching heat to all directions.
Workers, shirtless and covered in oil, were adding coal to the furnace mouth. The iron door at the furnace mouth opened and closed like a devil's mouth. The huge coal shovel made a harsh sound on the iron floor, as if
The devil is sharpening his knife!
This is a hell of cannibalism! And it’s a place where living people are cut into pieces and gobbled up!
Yingji frowned, looked inside again and again, but turned back and left. He felt that no one could be hidden here! Anyone who wanted to hide here would be burned into dried meat by the flames in a short time!
He left the engine room, walked through the winding corridor, and finally walked to the deck. He stood on the side of the dock, waiting for Gao Zongwu's arrival! As soon as he arrived, the Hongyuan could set sail!
His last task tonight is to wait for the Hongyuan to set sail!
29-26
Ten minutes past twelve o'clock at night, in Gu Yaozong's living room, Gao Zongwu finally couldn't sit still.
With a stern expression on his face, he stared at Gu Yaozong and said, "Tell me, will the Chairman of the Committee still have any instructions? Tell me!"
At this time, Gu Yaozong still has to perform tonight's scene to the extreme!
He looked at Gao Zongwu helplessly and finally told the truth: "Mr. Gao, I actually have no other intention. I just want you to stay in Shanghai for two more days! Just two days! I will never keep you longer! After two days, I
How about I send you off?"
Gao Zongwu glared at him and shouted in a low voice: "Why?"
Gu Yaozong sighed helplessly, "If you stay for another two days, our mission may be completed!"
At this moment, Gao Zongwu was really angry! Why did the head of the committee have instructions? Why did the head of the committee go to ask the head of the committee in person! It’s all a lie! You just want me to stay for two more days! What do you have?
The task can't be completed! It's none of my business!
He yelled: "Never! I won't stay for a minute! I'm leaving now!"
He rushed to the door of the living room and turned back to glare at Gu Yaozong.
Gu Yaozong looked at him and waved helplessly to Gong Binsheng, "There is no other way. Please send Mr. Gao off."
29-27
Gao Zongwu sat in the car, watching the night scene passing by outside the car, still very angry in his heart.
These bastards used such a despicable method to delay his trip! It's really abominable! No one else can do anything about them! But I will at least report them in front of Chief Dai! At least I will make them suffer!
At this time, Gong Binsheng, who was sitting next to him, said softly: "Mr. Gao, please don't be angry. We had no choice but to do this. I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, our mission..."
Gao Zongwu turned around and yelled at him, "Okay! Stop talking! I don't care what tasks you have!"
Gong Binsheng sighed and had no choice but to shut his mouth.
29-28
When Gao Zongwu returned to Room 903 of the International Hotel, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Takahashi sitting in the room. He became even more angry and slammed the door.
He walked to the table, poured a glass of water, and took a big sip.
Takahashi turned to Yuan Qinxin and said gently: "I'm sorry, Ms. Yuan, I want to have a few words with Mr. Gao alone."
Yuan Qinxin stood up and said, "I'm a little hungry. Let's go see what's available down there." After that, she quietly left the door.
Gao Qiao said gently: "Mr. Gao, I see you are very angry. What happened? Did you have an argument with Luo Jiang?"
Gao Zongwu turned around suddenly and said loudly: "It's not Luo Jiang! Luo Jiang has left long ago!"
Luo Jiang has left? This is something Takahashi didn't expect, "Then, who is looking for you?"
Gao Zongwu turned around and stared at him, finally waking up at the last second.
He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, please don't ask! I can't tell you about their affairs!"
Takahashi nodded, "Yes, you are right. After all, it is because of diplomatic matters, right?"
At this time, Gao Zongwu finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and shouted to him: "What's the matter of diplomacy! They just lied to me! They said that the head of the committee had instructions for me! They told me to wait! But there was nothing.
! You just want me to stay for two more days! It’s so abominable! You’ve deceived me! You even used the chairman of the committee to deceive me! I won’t stay here anymore! I have to leave tonight!”
Takahashi looked at the furious Gao Zongwu in great surprise, his thoughts whirling like a whirlwind in his mind.
What he didn't expect was that those Chinese agents were not only crazy and brutal, but also so stubborn! They had to get the medicine away! They also wanted Mr. Gao to stay for two more days! They just wanted to find new opportunities! They had only one purpose.
! Just want to get away the medicine! This is the purpose of their crazy raid on the dock!
Looking at it now, the sooner these drugs are shipped out, the better!
By this time, the vague doubts and uneasiness in Takahashi's heart had disappeared unconsciously! As soon as the Hongyuan sailed, those Chinese agents could only despair! They could only stop! In addition, they could
What to do!
"Mr. Gao, are you really leaving tonight?" he asked calmly.
"What's going on! Do you also want me to stay for two more days? Are you on the same side with them? They used the chairman of the committee to lie to me, what did you use to lie to me! Tell you, I won't stay! Never!
Stay no longer! Leave tonight!”
Gao Qiao showed a faint smile on his face and said kindly: "Well, Mr. Gao, I sincerely hope you can come again in the future. I will host a banquet for you."
Gao Zongwu stared at him, "Don't even think about lying to me!" He shouted to the door: "Qin Xin! Qin Xin!"
The door opened slightly, and Yuan Qinxin stood at the door holding a plate of snacks, seemingly looking at him in surprise.
Gao Zongwu shouted to her: "Throw away that piece of shit and take your things! Let's go!"
29-29
Takahashi was in a happy mood and volunteered to drive Gao Zongwu and Yuan Qinxin to the dock in his own car.
At this time, the dock was already very quiet. The area around the Hongyuan had also been cleaned up and was clean and tidy. There were no blood stains or corpses. It seemed as if nothing had happened here.
Yingji stood motionless beside the boat, watching Gao Zongwu and Yuan Qinxin walking over, as well as Gao Qiao behind them.
Takahashi smiled at him and pointed to the ship. Takahashi understood that Takahashi had been confirmed and the doubt was eliminated!
They accompanied Gao Zongwu up the gangway and took them to the cabin.
The captain ran over from the aisle and stood at the door of the cabin, looking at Gao Zongwu.
Gao Zongwu shouted to him: "Set the boat! Set the boat now! Let's go!" Then he turned back and said: "Mr. Gaoqiao, you two, please go too! I won't keep you! Let's meet again if we have the opportunity in the future.
!”
Takahashi and Takashi nodded to him and got off the boat without saying anything.
They stood on the pier and kept watching the Hongyuan, which was gradually leaving the pier with its whistle blowing.
The Hongyuan soon sailed into the dark river, with only the navigation lights on the mast flickering on and off like ghost eyes.
They all breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and walked towards the car.
29-30
The news that the Hongyuan had set sail was delivered to Du Mansion like lightning.
Mr. Du and Liu Yingui, who had just received the news, breathed a long sigh of relief.
Liu Yingui stood up, stretched out his hand to Mr. Du and said, "Boss Du, I hope the Hongyuan has a smooth journey."
Mr. Du smiled and nodded to him, shook his hand vigorously, but said nothing. He still had Boss Zhang in his heart, and he didn't know how to deal with it!
29-31
At this time, in the "Yueke" small department store on Weitoma Road, Liu Richen and Huang Hanhui also received the news that the Hongyuan had left the port. It was brought by Lin Jiatai.
He had been staying at Shiliupu Pier, closely observing the situation on the pier. He did not return until he saw the Hongyuan sailing.
