Chapter 249 This will be a lonely
When the explosion sounded, Xiang Chu jumped down from the bathroom window on the second floor.
He fell into the dense woods and slid down the slope.
At this time, the sea water was at high tide, and nearly half of the 10-meter cliff was submerged.
Xiang Chu changed his sliding behavior to running forward, stretching his hands forward, and leaping into the sea like a fish.
It swam through the water for more than 20 meters and then quickly dived towards Bangchui Island.
The sea breeze was howling and the waves were rolling. No one could see him racing against time underwater.
The sea water is freezing cold, so you must not stay in the water for too long.
According to his previous calculations, after the explosion, the "Dongfanghong 1" cargo ship set sail from a nearby sheltered anchorage.
It is imperative to drive to Bangchui Island within 15 minutes, 60 degrees east-northeast and 30 meters away, just at the highest point on the island to block the view of observers on the roof of the venue hotel.
In other words, he must swim to the northeastern point of Bangchui Island and get on the boat within 15 minutes.
Xiang Chu swam hundreds of meters in one breath, stretched out the hollow bamboo pole out of the water, took a deep breath, and then swam forward again.
When the explosion happened, Yui just ran to the bathroom door.
She was unsteady on her feet and fell to the ground.
Nanzō Yunko and the other three women were all senior agents. They lay down before her and avoided physical harm.
They looked at the collapsed conference room on the third floor and the bloody corpses with lingering fear.
Yui got up and rushed into the men's bathroom. She found the window was open, so she ran to the window and looked out.
Xiang Chu chose to escape from this bathroom because the bathroom window only faces north, not towards Bangchui Island.
Yui looked at the 10-meter-high slope below the window with a bewildered look on her face, thinking to herself:
"Logically, Shadow wouldn't dare to jump even if he had 10 guts. What's going on?"
At this time, Nanzō Yunko and three others also ran into the bathroom and came to her side.
Nanzō Yunko asked in confusion: "Yui! If Yunko is not mistaken, the man next to you just now was a substitute for Master Minamoto no Akiyoshi."
Without waiting for Yui to answer, Takeshita Yunko asked anxiously, "Tell me! Is that man the assassin who caused the explosion?"
Yui was very displeased by the tone and instinctively refused to answer.
Moreover, she suddenly remembered that Genji had warned her that the secret of the shadow must not be revealed under any circumstances, and Genji must not be brought to shame, otherwise she would be sentenced to death.
Yui turned and walked out of the bathroom, saying coldly, “No comment!”
Takeshita Yunzi caught up with him and asked, "Did he enter the venue?"
Yui stopped and said loudly, "It's definitely not him. He didn't enter the venue and he doesn't have the ability. Don't throw dirty water on Genji."
Takeshita Yunko thought she was an ordinary person, but when she heard the name Genji, she was speechless.
But she still didn't give up, and turned to ask Nanzō Yunko:
"Ms. Yunzi! Could it be that the Yamashiro leader did this?"
Nanzō Yunzi now believed that the head of the Yamashiro class was her fiancé. She immediately rolled her eyes at her and said coldly, "Miss Yunzi! The head of the Yamashiro class is a warrior of the empire. How could he disrupt the empire's meeting?"
At this time, Cuilan walked out of the room with the sewn kimono and was stunned by the tragic scene below.
Yui took the kimono from her hand and said with a wry smile: "Miss! Fortunately, the guy who asked you to sew clothes didn't enter the venue, otherwise we would have lost our lives."
"is not that right?"
Cuilan said with lingering fear, crying out in her heart,
"My benefactor! You must escape alive."
At this time, Xiang Chu took three breaths and swam to 3 meters east of Bangchui Island.
Needless to say, he arrived a little earlier than the cargo ship "Dongfanghong 1".
Gan Xin slowed down the freighter and Gan Rong threw a lifebuoy to Xiang Chu.
Xiang Chu grabbed the lifebuoy, and Gan Rong and Ning Buqu quickly worked together to pull him onto the boat.
Gan Xin accelerated the cargo ship, adjusted its course, and headed south.
Xiang Chu changed into clean clothes, dried his hair, and walked into the cab.
"Plop!" a sound.
Gan Rong actually knelt down in front of him and said with tears in his eyes,
"Chief! Thank you for avenging the eighty-seven members of my Gan family."
"No! Get up quickly."
Xiang Chu hurriedly helped Gan Rong up and looked at Gan Xin with a reproachful look.
Gan Xin said anxiously, "Boss! I asked Gan Rong to kneel. We all saw you go through life and death just now. You deserve to be kneeled by my family members."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Don't do this again in the future."
Ning Buqu patted Xiang Chu's shoulder and said sternly, "Xiang Chu! I won't kneel down to thank you. I promise to let Caiwei marry you."
Xiang Chu laughed and said, "If you kneel, my parents will break my legs."
Ning Buqu rushed to the deck, spread his arms and shouted:
"Free! I am free at last."
He shouted a few words and his face was already in tears.
Gan Rong handed the camera to Xiang Chu and said happily:
"Chief! I took before and after photos of the hotel where the explosion took place."
Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Very good! This way the devils can't deny it."
Gan Xin shook his head and said, "Boss! The Japanese can't resist. The explosion just now was so loud that it shook the earth and mountains. I think it could be heard dozens of miles away."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "No! I guess the devils are definitely researching and preparing to announce it to the public. A magnitude 3 earthquake just occurred in Dalian."
"With that face?"
Gan Rong was very confused.
The venue of the double puppet meeting was a horrible sight.
In addition to a large number of traitors who were killed in the explosion, some Japanese officials and several direct descendants of nobles, including Fujiwara Takeo, were also killed.
Of course, Fujiwara Takeo brought this upon himself.
Originally, he had secured good external support in order to snatch Fujiwara no Nobita's conference card and fight for the status of a legitimate descendant.
He swindled 20 US dollars from Xiang Chu, but only squandered 1 of it. The rest was sent to the "Darini" Inn by Fujiwara no Eizo who sent Kitagawa Muxiu to be passed on to Fujiwara no Daisuke by Hua Aimei.
Of course, this is something.
At this time, Doihara Kan'er was sitting on the ruins of the meeting hall, his eyes wide open, looking extremely depressed.
He and Awei Wenzhi gathered their men to study the matter for a long time, but still could not figure out who did it.
Moreover, the Governor of Kwantung Province and the Supreme Defense Chief are both pressing for the results of the investigation.
Doihara Kan'er was forced to give the order:
"Ms. Fang Zhi! Announce to the public that a magnitude 3 earthquake has just occurred in the southeast of Dalian. Report this to the two commanders of the Kwantung Prefecture Office and say that it was done by China's ace agent Xiang Chu."
"Hello!"
Kawashima Yoshizhi hurriedly accepted the order.
Awei Wenzhi was almost killed in the explosion at the venue, and he taunted:
"Yes! Anyway, it's best to find the most powerful opponent."
Such sarcastic remarks almost angered Doihara Kenji to death.
He suddenly clenched his fists and said in a low and fierce voice: "Yunzi! Check the scene immediately. If one person dies, kill a Chinese diehard."
"Teacher! We have counted 44 dead and wounded."
Nanzao Yunzi said hurriedly, paused, and whispered,
"But we are responsible for the security outside the venue. Aren't you going to assign the internal security of this venue to Section Chief Awei and his team?"
"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that? Haha!"
Doihara Ken'er was overjoyed, slapped his head, and said bluntly,
"Section Chief Awei! This is an internal matter of the venue. Since you have been specially assigned here to provide security, you should be responsible for it."
After saying this, he put his hands into his sleeves and walked out of the venue.
This image looks very much like an old farmer returning home from the fields.
Awei Wenzhi almost fainted from anger, but when he thought that Zheng Zhili, who was going to pinch his philtrum, was not there, he held on.
He calmed himself down, waved his hand and said, "Yunzi! Call our people and return to Shanghai immediately."
"Yes!"
Takeshita Yunzi hurriedly accepted the order.
In this case, the responsibility still fell on Doihara Kan'ei.
In the end, Doihara Kan'er was suspended from his post and returned to the base camp to reflect.
Before boarding the Hatsuyuki Maru cruise ship, he looked towards Bangchui Island and sighed:
"Alas! This is such a lonely opening."
Of course, the only ones who were lonely were the Japanese outside the Great Wall.
It was very lively inside the pass, with people even singing and dancing.
The claim of a magnitude 3 earthquake was totally unreliable, but the news still spread like wildfire.
A few days later, all major newspapers published the headline: "Military Intelligence Department ace agent Xiang Chu created a shocking explosion in Dalian, eradicating 44 representatives of the 'two puppet associations' and traitors."
It’s the New Year, and such gratifying news is truly joyful.
However, neither the Military Intelligence Department nor Ning Caiwei knew whether Xiang Chu was dead or alive.
On New Year's Eve, Ning Caiwei took a bus back to Hangzhou with Ning Changde's family to celebrate the New Year.
When the New Year's Eve dinner was served, Jiang Mei even placed special bowls and chopsticks for Ning Buqu and Xiang Chu.
Amid the blast of firecrackers, many families have already started eating their New Year’s Eve reunion dinner.
The Ning family gathered around the dining table, and except for Baoer, everyone else was silent.
Ning Xiaoquan looked at the clock in the living room and finally couldn't help but say:
"Caiwei! Didn't Xiang Chu say that he would definitely come back with Unyielding before the New Year?"
"Dad! Of course I will. I'll go out and take a look."
Ning Caiwei smiled with tears in her eyes, then stood up and ran out of the house.
"Sister! I'm with you."
Baoer hurriedly ran out.
Ning Changde shook his head and said, "Brother! Everyone knows that Xiang Chu's mission this time is too difficult. You must be mentally prepared."
"I know, oh!"
Ning Xiaoquan lowered his head and sighed, paused, and ordered,
"Changde! You should go light the firecrackers instead of waiting any longer!"
At this time, firecrackers in the yard started to crackle.
Immediately, Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei ran into the house with Ning Buqu on both sides.
