Chapter 122 Big Counterattack
Seeing this, Jin Dayong's eyes flickered. He walked outside the study and called Luo Yining.
"lady!"
After Luo Yining took his seat, the three of them began to draw cards.
Jin Dayong's bet was the gold fountain pen he had always used, and Luo Yining placed the sapphire ring on her hand.
For ten consecutive games, Jin Dayong and his wife did not win once.
Xie Wuwei picked up the gold pen and pinned it on his shirt pocket, thinking that Tangtang would definitely like it. He then picked up the ring and looked at it, nodding with satisfaction.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt."
Jin Dayong was very unhappy about losing his things, but when he thought that Xie Wuwei could bring him more money, he was immediately tempted.
"Next time you play cards, don't call me!"
Luo Yining lost and left the study with a sullen face.
"Why don't you do this in Shanghai? We'd make a lot of money that way."
Hearing Jin Dayong say this, Xie Wuwei said helplessly:
"Uncle, look at this place now. Who has the final say? I still want to live here. If things continue like this, we won't have a peaceful life. It's different over there. We can just make a quick buck and leave."
Jin Dayong also turned around and walked into the inner room. He took out a small box from the safe. He held the box reluctantly and said to Xie Wuwei:
"Here are 100 small yellow croakers. You must hold them carefully. They are my uncle's lifeblood..."
Hearing this, Xie Wuwei looked calm, put his hand on Jin Dayong's money box, and took the money into his own hands with a clever move.
"Uncle, don't worry, I won't just take the things and run away."
Jin Dayong was stunned. The box in his hand was gone?
After hearing Xie Wuwei's words, Jin Dayong's expression changed drastically. If Xie Wuwei ran away with the money, where would he go to find him? He saw Xie Wuwei's back and quickly chased after him.
"Thank you!"
Xie Wuwei turned his head and looked at him with a puzzled look. Jin Dayong glanced at the gun on his waist, swallowed his casual words, and just laughed dryly.
"Be careful on your journey and come back soon. My niece is waiting for you."
Xie Wuwei waved his hand to show that he understood, then drove away.
Lin Ruotang looked at the gold bars in front of him and said in surprise:
"How could you get so much money from that stingy guy?"
"I'll take Jin Dayong's money and go to the casino to make a big bet. Then I'll use the money to buy more food."
Xie Wuwei told him about his plan. He felt sad when he thought about the soldiers who were still not getting enough to eat. He wanted to move Jin Dayong's safe away and use all the money to buy food.
Before leaving, Xie Wuwei had to go to the dock to get the funds provided by the organization.
When Xie Wuwei left, he was wearing a suit and a black top hat.
He was looking for a man in a blue gown, a grey hat and a black leather suitcase.
The two glanced at each other across the crowd, and each walked to the middle. When they passed each other, the suitcase was in Xie Wuwei's hands. Xie Wuwei turned around and got on the boat immediately. Looking at the crowded dock, he took a deep breath.
After Xie Wuwei left, Lin Ruotang was bored and went to play mahjong with Niu Batian and his wife.
After returning home, she saw that the house was empty. She sat down on the sofa with a blank look in her eyes.
When Xie Wuwei was at home, she never felt that the house was lonely. They had a lot to talk about and a lot to do. But when Xie Wuwei left, no one responded to her words.
No cell phone, no TV, not many friends, I can only stare at the neon lights outside the window.
She came back to her senses, and thinking about the mission she still had, she slapped her face and said:
"Don't think about it, let's think about how to save Li Haojie first!"
She stood up, took a deep breath, went back to the bedroom, opened the cabinet, saw the bedding roll in the cabinet, and thought of Xie Wuwei again. She wondered where he had gone.
Lin Ruotang had only been quiet for two days when the Military Control Commission and the National Salvation Army began to take action.
They wanted to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army and puppet forces.
This raid came extremely quickly, with the Military Control Commission setting fires, bombings, harassing and attacking everywhere.
They also blew up the railway bed and even raided the artillery battalion.
Shanghai was in chaos. The Military Control Commission sent a lot of people this time, and many traitors and Japanese officers died.
The streets were much quieter, and everyone was staying at home, fearing that they would be affected.
The Secret Service Bureau also suffered heavy casualties. Cheng Wang was slightly injured on the first day, but he later claimed to be seriously injured and has been staying in the hospital ever since.
Seeing Lin Ruotang coming, Cheng Wang told her,
"Secretary Lin, be careful these days. If you can stay at home, don't go out. The Military Control Commission is crazy and will kill us if they catch us."
Lin Ruotang of course knew about this, and she said to Cheng Wang:
"I see. Are you okay?"
Cheng Wang raised his arms and said with a smile:
"It's all over now. Section Chief Xie once said that you don't have to risk your life to catch someone. If you can hide, hide. Life is precious..."
Lin Ruotang smiled and nodded, then said to him:
"He's right. I'm here with Director Zhou to visit someone in the hospital. You know a lot of Japanese soldiers have been injured recently, and she wants to come and see them..."
Hearing this, Cheng Wang curled her lips and whispered:
"We have so many brothers in the hospital, but she hasn't come to see us..."
Lin Ruotang smiled but did not answer, so Cheng Wang just complained. He knew that although Lin Ruotang was Zhou Qin's secretary, she usually would not say these things to Zhou Qin, and there was also Xie Wuwei between them.
This time, there was also Taya Yufu who came to visit the injured people. Zhou Qin came out with him and first watched him get in the car and leave. Lin Ruotang had just opened the car door and Zhou Qin was about to get in.
"boom"
Hearing the explosion, Zhou Qin immediately raised her head and saw that Taya Yufu's car exploded.
"what!"
People screamed and everyone ran away.
Zhou Qin's face changed and she immediately got out of the car.
Lin Ruotang decisively closed the car door and ran away after her.
Seeing the car explode, Lin Ruotang said:
"Director Zhou, should we go over and take a look?"
Hearing this, Zhou Qin reacted and took a deep breath.
"Come and have a look!"
Lin Ruotang followed Zhou Qin and saw Taya Yufu lying on the side of the road. He didn't know where his glasses had fallen. Lin Ruotang couldn't help but mutter,
"You won't die in this way?"
Zhou Qin stepped forward to feel Taya Yufu's pulse and breathed a sigh of relief.
"He's not dead. He probably realized something was wrong and jumped out of the car. He was just hit by the aftermath."
Hearing this, Lin Ruotang and Zhou Qin supported Tian Gu Yufu to the hospital. After taking two steps, a black gun muzzle was pointed at them.
"hiss!"
Zhou Qin was injured in the leg. She was half-kneeling on the ground, covering the bleeding wound.
Lin Ruotang left Tian Gu Yufu and helped Zhou Qin up.
"Director Zhou, are you okay?"
She raised her head slightly and looked at the building next to her. A figure flashed by, and it was Luo Yining as expected.
She had discussed with Luo Yining before that in order to rescue Li Haojie and get out of Zhou Qin's sight, she had to injure Zhou Qin, so that Lin Ruotang's movements would not be restricted.
Besides, it's such a chaotic time, it's normal for the Military Control Commission to target Zhou Qin.
Li Chengwang from the hospital heard the noise and rushed out with his men, firing several shots at the place where the shooting occurred.
Seeing that Cheng Wang and the others were still trying to chase, Lin Ruotang immediately shouted:
"Stop chasing him, send Section Chief Tian Gu to the hospital!"
She supported Zhou Qin and took her to remove the bullet. Zhou Qin's foot and thigh were hit and she had to stay in bed for a while.
During this period, Lin Ruotang ran between the Secret Service Bureau and the hospital to handle her work.
During this period, the number of people in the Secret Service Bureau decreased. These people were either in the hospital or outside helping the Japanese capture members of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Lin Ruotang first went to the detention center and saw that the detention center was lax. He already had a plan in mind. He needed someone to take charge of this matter.
She returned home and called Luo Yining first.
