Chapter 99: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
"You dislike my thinness, huh!"
Ning Caiwei couldn't help but growl softly.
Xiang Chu tapped out the warning code with his fingers and continued deliberately:
"We've been married for more than two years, it's time for you to have a baby. Alas!"
Ning Caiwei understood immediately and pretended to be angry and said:
"Okay! I'll listen to you and eat it."
The boss was so busy, but he still said:
"It turns out that you two have been married for more than two years. I thought you just built a new house and got married."
Ning Caiwei was stunned, feeling that this boss had good ears and had the potential to be a spy.
The restaurant outside the Party Affairs Office will inevitably be developed into spies by party spies.
If you want to conduct reconnaissance in this place, you do have to take certain risks.
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Boss, hurry up, we are in a hurry to get back to work."
"Okay! Right away. Haha!"
The boss quickened his pace and couldn't help laughing.
Soon, the boss wrapped 20 baskets of dragon robe crab roe soup dumplings and 60 butter cakes in oil paper, put them in a big basket, and brought them to Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu paid the bill and left with the basket.
Back in the car, Ning Caiwei asked:
"Brother Chu! Do you think there's something wrong with the boss?"
"I'm just worried that he might be a spy from the Party Affairs Office."
Xiang Chu nodded, started the engine and slowly left.
As the car turned, he glanced to the side at the Hesheng Restaurant and found that the owner was staring at his car.
Ning Caiwei also saw it and couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"How come I run into spies just when I'm having a meal?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "He is not a spy either. He has just been influenced too much by spies and has the potential to be a spy. Take off the mask."
After saying this, he took off the mask on his face.
Ning Caiwei took off her mask and said with a smile:
"I used this mask once for surveillance last time. Let's change it to a prettier one tonight."
"Of course! But no matter how beautiful she is, she is not as beautiful as you are."
Xiang Chu smiled and drove fast, and soon arrived at Ninghai Road.
However, he absolutely could not arrive at Ninghai Road in advance, so he drove around to the road behind Datong Hotel to see if Liu Zhengxiong had arrived in advance.
Shockingly, there were 3 trucks parked behind the Chase Hotel.
There were many members of the action team in plain clothes standing under the truck, smoking.
It seems that the three trucks sent by the Party Affairs Office at night were all parked here.
Ning Caiwei whispered, "How could this happen? Ninghai Road is wide, and these cars should park on Ninghai Road if they want to."
"Something's wrong!"
Xiang Chu was caught in a dilemma, so he simply turned the car through the alley onto Ninghai Road.
A truck loaded with cargo came roaring over and almost hit the Buick.
Xiang Chu was surprised and said, "It has no license plate. It's our car."
Not long after, another truck loaded with goods came roaring over.
Ning Caiwei asked curiously, "Who told these cars to go through Ninghai Road?"
"This Liu Zhengxiong! His cleverness backfired."
Xiang Chu cursed inwardly and drove hurriedly to Pier 44 in Xiaguan.
He drove the car to the place where Liu Zhengxiong hid the truck and got out far away from the truck.
Fortunately, Liu Zhengxiong was sleeping in the car. When he heard the knock on the door, he quickly got up.
Xiang Chu said anxiously, "Old Liu! Was it your idea that the trucks carrying goods from the department go through Ninghai Road?"
Liu Zhengxiong smiled and said, "Yes! I want to use this to cover up our actions."
Xiang Chu didn't want to give him too much explanation, and scolded him: "Comrade Huamei! Although what you are doing has certain benefits, it will bring unexpected consequences, do you know?"
"do not know!"
Liu Zhengxiong shook his head.
Xiang Chu spoke rapidly, "First, you asked the Party Affairs Office to park all its cars on the road behind the Datong Hotel. Second, you blocked the retreat route. Third, you exposed yourself completely. Fourth..."
Liu Zhengxiong trembled when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Okay! Okay! I was wrong, okay? I will change it immediately and let all the trucks take another route."
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "Your arrangement is wrong. You must have a suitable reason to change it."
Liu Zhengxiong said anxiously: "In order to change to Ninghai Road, I threw a lot of goods down, blocking the road leading directly to the office."
"Is that so? Then there's no need to change it, otherwise it will only make things worse."
Xiang Chu nodded, thought for a moment, and asked anxiously,
"By the way! Has the TNT explosives in the basement been transported away?"
“It’s been transported away!”
Liu Zhengxiong nodded, and seeing Xiang Chu was very disappointed, he smiled and said,
"What do you want explosives for?"
Xiang Chu said with regret: "Alas! I should have saved some TNT explosives in advance. Now the Party Affairs Office has sent three trucks with at least a hundred people to No. 3 Ninghai Road. They are now parked behind the Datong Hotel. If I had two bundles of TNT explosives, I could have lured the tiger away from the mountain."
"I secretly kept three bundles! Bring them to you."
Liu Zhengxiong smiled and hurried to Warehouse No. 44.
"Quite smart."
Xiang Chu couldn't help laughing.
He hurriedly jumped into the car and took two submachine guns and a dozen magazines.
Then he returned to the Buick and put the submachine gun and magazine in the back seat.
Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "You also got a submachine gun?"
Xiang Chu handed her one and said with a smile, "Feel it."
“I can use it!”
Ning Caiwei took it, turned on the safety, and pulled the bolt, very skillfully.
"Yeah! Not bad."
Xiang Chu praised, and seeing Liu Zhengxiong running over, he hurried back to the truck.
Liu Zhengxiong handed three bundles of TNT to Xiang Chu and said with a smile:
"I was more careful and secretly took three bundles before registering them with the logistics department."
Xiang Chu thought he should be encouraged, and praised him: "Comrade Huamei! You are an excellent agent."
“I’ve always been great.”
Liu Zhengxiong said happily.
Xiang Chu warned, "Old Liu! I will go to the Party Affairs Office now to plant a time bomb, set to explode at 11 o'clock, and get to No. 19 Ninghai Road before the explosion. As soon as the truck from the Party Affairs Office leaves, we will immediately launch the action."
Liu Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Yes!"
"See you at 19 Ninghai Road!"
Xiang Chu patted his shoulder, turned and ran towards the Buick.
"Phoenix! This is too difficult."
Liu Zhengxiong looked at Xiang Chu's back and muttered to himself.
Xiang Chu knew how difficult it was, but it was impossible for him to give up rescuing his comrades.
"Caiwei! Where can I buy an alarm clock around here?"
Xiang Chu asked urgently, started the engine and drove away from the dock.
Ning Caiwei thought for a moment and said, "There's one at the Wenqi Watch Store on Taiping Road. It should be open at this time."
"Okay! Let's go to Taiping Road."
Xiang Chu drove all the way and arrived at the watch shop just before it closed.
He changed into a suit, put on a sophisticated mask and walked into the store.
"Boss! Give me three alarm clocks. I want one for each of my three lazy bastards."
When the boss heard this, he laughed and said, "One for each person, there will be chaos in the house in the morning. Haha!"
"This is the effect I want!"
Xiang Chu smiled and paid the money quickly.
He took three alarm clocks, deliberately took a detour, and bought some electrical wires, iron wires, etc. at a nearby hardware store before getting to the car.
He immediately drove off Taiping Road and headed straight for the Party Affairs Investigation Office on Zhonghua Road.
Ning Caiwei couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chu! Why are we back again?"
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Oh! Give Boss Mao a time bomb gift."
Ning Caiwei asked in surprise: "You can also set a time bomb?"
"Of course! I learned it in the Soviet Union."
Xiang Chu smiled and parked the car under a street light.
He connected three alarm clocks to three bundles of TNT explosives, but did not start the timer yet.
After all this busy time, the time has already reached 10:10.
Xiang Chu hurriedly started the engine and headed straight for Zhanyuan - the Party Affairs Investigation Office.
