Chapter 84 Noble Substitute

Ning Caiwei was about to turn on the light when Xiang Chu stopped her.

"Caiwei! Don't turn on the light. I'll go to the balcony and take a look first."

"Ok!"

Ning Caiwei immediately understood what he was going to do.

Xiang Chu tiptoed to the balcony and looked around.

Suddenly, in a two-story room not far away across the street, a faint fire flickered.

Needless to say, there was someone smoking, and facing him.

In addition to this surveillance house, in the woods across the street, birds would occasionally flap their wings and chirp alertly, indicating that there must be people hiding in the woods as well.

"If you are so motivated, why don't you deal with the Japanese spies?"

Xiang Chu cursed in his heart and turned to go into the house.

Ning Caiwei whispered, "What's going on?"

Xiang Chu said bitterly: "There is a room rented across the street to the right front for surveillance. There are at least two people in the woods opposite, responsible for mobile surveillance of the surrounding area. I really want to kill them."

Ning Caiwei held his hand and said in a deep voice:

"Don't be impulsive! They are casting a wide net to catch fish."

"Of course I understand. Let him enjoy himself for a few more days."

Xiang Chu nodded, helped her take off her coat, hung it on the coat hook, and said thoughtfully,

"Caiwei! Li Daguang came into my office to search openly today, and he came here to inquire today. I have a feeling that he will definitely come in to search during the day tomorrow."

Ning Caiwei was shocked and asked, "What should we do? The radio, sniper rifle, and valuables are all hidden here."

Xiang Chu pondered and said, "I have observed that there are very few people living in this mansion, and there is a small attic on the top, so no one would step on the roof tiles to enter the attic.

I can hide the sniper rifle and radio in the attic, and even if they are found, we can deny it. As for the property, bring it to the car tomorrow morning, and we will go to the British Bank at noon. You can open a personal safe deposit box and deposit Wang Fengguang's property in it."

Ning Caiwei nodded and said, "Yes! That's very good. Oh, and hide your flying knife, too. It's your signature weapon."

"Okay! Listen to you."

Xiang Chu laughed heartily.

Before going to bed, Ning Caiwei suggested, "Brother Chu! Let's keep the radio on. I always feel there will be news about my brother."

"Just turn it on! There's nothing to worry about in receiving state."

Xiang Chu turned on the radio and set it to Ning Caiwei's call sign.

At three o'clock in the morning, a telecommunications signal suddenly sounded from the radio station.

Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei were both awakened and got up. Ning Caiwei immediately copied the code.

After transcribing, she handed the telegram to Xiang Chu and said happily:

"Based on the way this person sent the telegram, it should be Zheng Zhili."

"Really? That's great, I'll go back to the house and decipher it."

Xiang Chu smiled, took the telegram, picked up the pistol, walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.

He listened carefully at the door and opened it gently.

A smell of smoke wafted in the wind, and he rushed out of the room, deliberately opening the safety of his pistol.

A figure was at the stairs, running down the stairs at the fastest speed.

The people who were monitoring us were too brazen, they even thought of eavesdropping at the door of the house.

Ning Caiwei heard it, walked to the door, and said in surprise:

"what's the situation?"

"Someone is trying to get close to eavesdrop. Go back to the house first."

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and pushed her into the room.

Then he went into his room and took out "The Art of War".

He thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it from Ning Caiwei. He took the book back to Ning Caiwei's room and translated the message under the dim bedroom light:

"Your brother is now the substitute of Minamoto Akifumi, the legitimate son of the top Japanese noble family Minamoto!"

Ning Caiwei took the message and asked in confusion:

"Why does this noble son want my brother to be his substitute?"

"In ancient times, there were nine sons competing for the throne. How many brothers from the collateral or direct line wanted to kill the legitimate son and make him the heir?"

After Xiang Chu finished speaking, he felt bad and quickly changed his words.

"I know Minamoto Akiyoshi, he only uses a substitute for fun."

Ning Caiwei shook her head and said, "But my brother is his substitute, how can he get away?"

"I am there?"

Xiang Chu patted his chest, held her in his arms, and comforted her,

"I will find a chance to replace your brother, and then get away from Yuan Mingwen."

Ning Caiwei said angrily: "What if you don't come back? I will be a widow. Go to sleep!"

At dawn the next day, Xiang Chu picked up the radio and sniper rifle and walked out of the room.

He walked up the stairs to the third floor and stepped through the window to the rooftop.

He moved aside the rainproof wooden board, stepped onto the roof tiles and entered the attic.

He placed the radio and sniper rifle on the wooden beams above the attic, then took off his coat and took out all 28 willow-leaf throwing knives from his vest.

He lifted up a floor tile, hollowed out the bottom, hid the willow-leaf throwing knife, and then covered it with broken tiles and bricks from the attic.

Although unique skills are good, they are also easy to be exposed. When you are in the intelligence department, hiding a flying knife on your body is always a huge hidden danger, not to mention that the opponent has already touched the door.

After hiding, he immediately erased all traces and returned along the same route.

After breakfast, the two men took out all the money from the hiding place.

After checking that there was nothing wrong in the house, they picked up the suitcases and walked out of the room together.

The two got in the car and went straight to the Bank of England without rushing to work.

The person who was following him had no car and after following for a while he couldn't catch up. By the time he turned around to look for a rickshaw, Xiang Chu had already driven away in his Buick and disappeared.

Ning Caiwei clapped her hands and laughed, "Brother Chu! If we are late, just say we were followed by Japanese spies and couldn't get to work in time in order to escape."

Xiang Chu praised: "That's a good idea! I didn't even think of it."

Soon, the two drove to the Bank of England.

However, I waited for about half an hour before the bank opened.

Ning Caiwei paid for a small yellow croaker before opening a personal safe business.

Xiang Chu carried the suitcase and followed her to the personal safe business warehouse.

A female staff member in her 30s stood at the door of the warehouse.

She reached out to stop Xiang Chu and said politely:

"Sir! You don't have personal safe business, you can't enter."

"I have!"

Xiang Chu took out Wang Fengguang's personal safe receipt and key.

The female staff member took a look and bowed, "Please come in, Mr. Wang!"

Xiang Chu smiled and asked, "Madam! Does your bank have a service that allows me to deposit money in your bank and allow my relatives in other places to withdraw it?"

The female staff member smiled and said, "Sir! The British Bank has opened a new account service. You only need to provide your account number and password to withdraw cash from any British bank in the world, but a higher handling fee will be charged."

"That's great!"

Xiang Chu was so happy that he almost jumped up. This made it easier to give money to the organization.

Ning Caiwei had the same idea as him and asked with a smile: "Madam! May I ask which cities in our country have British banks?"

"Shanghai, Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Qingdao, Shenyang..."

The female staff member mentioned more than ten cities in one breath.

"Okay, thank you."

Ning Caiwei smiled and pulled Xiang Chu into the warehouse.

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

There are countless cabinets in the personal safe storage room.

Xiang Chu found Wang Fengguang’s personal safe based on the receipts.

I didn't expect that in addition to the key, the safe also has a password.

Ning Caiwei took a look and said softly, "Can you open it?"

"That doesn't bother me."

Xiang Chu smiled, put his ear to the safe, gently turned the knob, and quickly opened it.

The safe was full, with hundreds of gold bars of various sizes and 50,000 pounds.

There is also a photo below, as well as a volunteer form to join the Japanese spy intelligence agency.

Ning Caiwei took the photo and exclaimed, "Isn't this person Nong Ruhu? Was he instigated by Wang Fengguang to rebel?"

"Get down to business first!"

Xiang Chu smiled and quickly put the photo and volunteer form into his pocket.

Ning Caiwei whispered, "Do you want to deposit all the money into the account business?"

Xiang Chu thought about it and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid the new business is not safe, and if the account password is leaked during the transmission on the radio, the loss will be too great. It is better to store it in several batches, and deposit another batch after taking one at home."

"it is good!"

Ning Caiwei nodded heavily with a bright smile on her face.
