Chapter 54: Banquet Attacked
The shot hit the chandelier in the center of the hall directly.
The banquet hall was dark.
The person who was so bright and beautiful just now is now running around like a mouse chased by a cat.
The screams and cries mixed together, and no one could see what was happening.
Lin Ruotang slid along and hid under the table, secretly thinking it was a great idea.
What a good trick to divert attention and lure the tiger away from the mountain. Now the guards of the banquet have been taken away. I am afraid that many traitors will die today.
He looked panicked on the surface, but was smiling in his heart.
After a while, a few more people came into the table. Lin Ruotang almost squeezed out. She said angrily:
“This is the spot I found first!”
"What do you mean by you first, me first? Do you have any sympathy, little girl..."
As these people were talking, they pushed Lin Ruotang, trying to push her out.
The gunshots became more and more frequent. Lin Ruotang looked carefully and found that Zhou Qin had nowhere to hide. She turned her head and looked at the person who was still pushing her.
She crawled out from under the table with a snort.
"If you don't let me hold an umbrella, I'll tear your umbrellas apart!"
She just raised her hands and lifted the table. When the bullets came, several people under the table were exposed and screamed in fear.
"what--"
In the blink of an eye, a group of people pushed and shoved and ran away.
Lin Ruotang didn't bother to deal with that group of people before, but they went too far and almost pushed her out.
Besides, anyone who can come here, even if they are not traitors, is a pro-Japanese element, so she has no psychological burden in doing this.
She turned the table over and carefully moved to Zhou Qin's side.
She lowered her head and pushed the table, then carefully raised her head and looked around like a vigilant groundhog, only to see someone aiming a gun at Zhou Qin.
Lin Ruotang came up with a plan, thinking that this was an opportunity to gain Zhou Qin's trust. If the Intelligence Department had a new leader, it would be very disadvantageous to her as the newly appointed secretary.
She also wanted Zhou Qin, the big spy, to die, but not now.
She rushed out from behind the table and rolled around a few times while holding Zhou Qin.
The bullet passed by Zhou Qin's cheek, and she didn't even come to her senses. This was the closest she had ever been to death.
"Director Zhou, are you okay?"
After Zhou Qin came back to her senses, she saw Lin Ruotang's worried face. She didn't know what to feel in her heart, so she just whispered:
"fine!"
When the gunshots were heard, Lin Ruotang immediately pulled Zhou Qin up.
"Director Zhou, let's go!"
After taking two steps, Lin Ruotang realized something was wrong, so she pulled Zhou Qin and hid behind a pillar by the wall.
"Director Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Ruotang pressed tightly against the wall, leaning against the half-exposed pillars around him to block the bullets around him.
"My ankle is sprained!"
Hearing Zhou Qin say this, Lin Ruotang's expression tightened, and she quickly said:
"Director Zhou, what should we do now?"
Zhou Qin smiled bitterly. Before coming in, they put away their pistols.
Except for the guards and agents on duty, everyone else in this room is a group of lambs to be slaughtered.
At this moment, Lin Ruotang saw a civilized stick thrown by someone on the ground.
She carefully squatted on the ground, quickly picked up the stick, and got something to defend herself, which made her feel much more at ease.
She held the stick tightly and comforted Zhou Qin:
"Director Zhou, don't worry, my performance in combat class is pretty good."
Zhou Qin's eyes were bright and dark as she looked at Lin Ruotang's face.
Lin Ruotang wanted to take this opportunity to win Zhou Qin's favor, or at least gain her trust, so that he could get more intelligence information in the future.
At this time, a black shadow approached them. Lin Ruotang blocked Zhou Qin behind her. Just as the black shadow approached them, she raised her stick and swung it hard.
Her stick was caught, and she could not strike any further. She heard a familiar voice,
"it's me!"
The person who came was Xie Wuwei. Seeing this, Lin Ruotang immediately shouted in surprise:
"Thank you, Wuwei!"
Xie Wuwei threw a gun to Lin Ruotang, and secretly thought in his heart that Lin Ruotang was quite strong. His hand was numb just now. He saw Zhou Qin behind Lin Ruotang and said in surprise:
"Director Zhou!"
Zhou Qin saw Xie Wuwei and asked quickly:
"What's going on now!"
"I don't know what's going on outside, but our people seem to be held back..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an explosion outside.
The three of them stood against the wall, as if they had turned into three geckos, and did not dare to move at all.
Until the intensive gunfire was heard outside, Xie Wuwei rushed out with the two of them.
Lin Ruotang's eyes turned and she put the gun into Zhou Qin's hand.
Zhou Qin instantly understood what was going on.
She thought to herself that Lin Ruotang was worthy of being Jin Dayong's niece, she knew how to handle things.
Lin Ruotang glanced around and saw Fujiwara Nanako hiding in the corner. She immediately called out in a low voice:
"Wait, look!"
Xie Wuwei and Zhou Qin in front turned around and saw Cai Caizi hiding in the corner. The two of them immediately thought of the benefits of this place.
Zhou Qin's eyes flashed, and he immediately said:
"We'll cover you, go and bring Miss Fujiwara over!"
The two of them protected Lin Ruotang, and Lin Ruotang stepped forward and grabbed Fujiwara Nanako.
Fujiwara Nanako huddled in the corner cautiously, unwilling to leave. Lin Ruotang said in Japanese:
"I'm Lin Ruotang, secretary of the Intelligence Department of the Secret Service Bureau. We'll take you away. The lady over there is Director Zhou of the Intelligence Department."
Fujiwara Nanako looked over and her expression relaxed. She had seen Zhou Qin before.
Lin Ruotang protected her with one hand, and the two of them quickly came behind Zhou Qin and Xie Wuwei.
When they came out, they met Yuuichi Taya.
"what happened?"
Zhou Qin was limping with the gun in hand, and with the wound on her face, she looked very miserable. She stepped forward and said:
"We were caught in a surprise attack and were worried about what was happening outside, so we rushed out with Ms. Fujiwara."
Taya Yufu looked unhappy, but he still asked Fujiwara Nanako,
"Ms. Fujiwara, are you okay?"
"Taya-kun, I'm fine, I just got separated from my father."
Fujiwara Nanako was only in her early twenties, had a student-style haircut, and looked pretty.
Although women do not have a high status in Japan, it depends on the family. Chief of Staff Fujiwara is involved in the entire land combat plan, so his identity is still very important.
Seeing Lin Ruotang standing next to Fujiwara Nanako, Zhou Qin immediately said:
"Secretary Lin, take Miss Fujiwara home."
Lin Ruotang stretched out her hand, and Fujiwara Nanako pulled Lin Ruotang away. She still had great trust in the person who rescued her.
Seeing Lin Ruotang open the car door and drive away, Tian Gu Yufu glanced at Xie Wuwei.
Xie Wuwei understood and immediately said:
"Director Zhou, I'll go gather the brothers and see how many people are left."
After Xie Wuwei left, Tian Gu Xiongfu said with a gloomy face:
"Mr. Kurokawa was assassinated!"
Zhou Qin's eyes flashed, and now she had to get rid of the suspicion of the Secret Service, otherwise she could not bear the responsibility. She looked surprised, as if she didn't know before.
"how come?"
Taya Yufu narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhou Qin closely.
"You weren't the one who leaked the information?"
Zhou Qin knew that Tian Gu Yufu was trying to shift the blame onto herself, so she quickly said:
"In the early days, it was our Secret Service who protected Mr. Kurokawa. During our protection, Mr. Kurokawa was always safe. I even visited him often."
Zhou Qin saw that Tian Gu Yufu was a little impatient, so he slowly said:
"The ones who protected Mr. Kurokawa in the later period were members of the Special High Police."
Zhou Qin’s meaning was very clear, it must have been a leak from the Special High Section.
Takeo Taya's face looked grim. He stared at Zhou Qin closely. The two looked into each other's eyes and both decided not to characterize Kurokawa Akigen's death as an intelligence leak.
In order to keep their positions, the two reported to their superiors that it was the Military Control Commission or other anti-Japanese organizations that discovered it.
Here, Lin Ruotang drove to Fujiwara's house.
Fujiwara Nanako also calmed down, but her expression was very panicked. She held Lin Ruotang's hand,
"Ms. Lin, please don't leave!"
Lin Ruotang supported Fujiwara Nanako, speaking in a gentle tone,
"Okay, Ms. Fujiwara, I'll stay with you."
Lin Ruotang passed the inspection of the guard at the door and quickly entered Fujiwara's house.
