Chapter 255 Waiting for the Marriage to Come

Xiang Chu hurriedly stopped the car and Ning Caiwei drove the car into the gate.

Ye Hongguang stood up and said respectfully:

"Happy New Year, Chief!"

"it is good!"

Xiang Chu smiled and nodded, pointing at the masked man in black and asked in confusion,

"Deputy Team Leader Ye! Did you catch this?"

"Yes!"

Ye Hongguang nodded, pointed at the man in black and said excitedly,

"Chief! When I came over just now, this guy was secretly piling wood and straw by the courtyard wall. It was obvious that he wanted to set a fire, but I caught him."

"set fire?!"

Xiang Chu stepped forward and pulled off the mask of the man in black.

The man in black turned out to be an old man over 60 years old.

Xiang Chu shouted, "You old devil, you want to die."

But the old man said anxiously: "Sir! I am not a devil."

Ye Hongguang angrily asked: "If you are not a devil, why are you setting fire?"

The old man hurriedly said, "Sir! My daughter was kidnapped by the devils. They forced me to come here and set the fire. They said that I only needed to light the fire at 10 pm."

Xiang Chu immediately understood that the old man was coerced or instructed to set the fire just to provide guidance for the Japanese bombers to drop bombs at night.

However, he didn't believe that the Japanese spies, who were always rigorous in their work, would send an old man to do such a thing.

Seeing him thinking, the old man said worriedly, "Sir! You won't put me in jail, will you?"

Xiang Chu waved his hand and said, "No! That would be a waste of public food."

The old man said gratefully: "Great! Thank you, sir."

Xiang Chu said coldly: "Can't you hear it? I will shoot you directly."

The old man cried, "Please spare my life, sir."

Xiang Chu said coldly: "If you tell the truth, I will spare your life. Tell me! Who asked you to do this?"

At this time, Ning Xiaoquan and others also came out.

The old man said helplessly: "Sir! The Wu family asked me to do it. They said you all went to the Peace Hotel for dinner, so it was a good opportunity to set the fire."

"what?!"

Ning Xiaoquan was so angry that he was shaking all over.

He never expected that the Wu family invited him to dinner as a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

"Treat others in their own way!"

Xiang Chu sneered, looked at his watch, and ordered,

"Deputy Team Leader Ye! Take this old man with you. Let's go to a place."

"Yes!"

Ye Hongguang hurriedly accepted the order and handed the gift to Ning Caiwei.

"Madam! This is a little gift from me to your parents."

"Thank you, Captain Ye!"

Ning Caiwei took it with a smile.

"It's Deputy Team Leader Ye!"

Xiang Chu smiled and paused.

"We'll go back as soon as we go."

Ye Hongguang smiled and said, "Section Chief! Isn't it just to set a fire at the Wu family? You don't have to go for such a small matter. I will drive this old man there."

Xiang Chu said with satisfaction: "That's right! Remember to burn it early so that the fire can be bigger."

"Yes!"

Ye Hongguang hurriedly accepted the order.

He put the old man and the firewood by the wall into his car and drove away quickly.

Xiang Chu was still worried, so he looked around Ning's house and finally came to the backyard.

The backyard faces the West Lake, with several fishing rods leaning against the wall and a small bamboo forest next to it.

Ning Xiaoquan and Ning Buqu also followed. Ning Xiaoquan said with a smile on his face:

"Xiao Xiang! Please teach me how to fish."

After knowing that Xiang Chu was the "Thousand-Faced Brother Kui" and that he was treated with the utmost courtesy at the Peace Hotel, his attitude towards Xiang Chu took a 180-degree turn.

"Row!"

Xiang Chu readily agreed and began to choose a fishing rod.

Ning Buqu hurriedly said, "Brother Kui! There's also me."

Jiang Mei brought a plate of fruit and placed it on the stone table by the lake, and scolded:

"Stop! He's your brother-in-law."

Ning Buqu smiled bitterly and said, "I am still immersed in the atmosphere of the Peace Hotel."

Xiang Chu was busy selecting three fishing rods and preparing fish hooks and baits.

Soon, everything was ready, and he explained and demonstrated fishing.

Under his guidance, Ning Xiaoquan caught a big carp and said with emotion:

"Xiao Xiang's guidance is really extraordinary. It feels great!"

Xiang Chu and Ning Buqu sat down near the bamboo forest, chatting while fishing:

"Brother-in-law! Do you really like Yui that much?"

Ning Buqu nodded and said, "Of course! If Yui hadn't rescued and comforted me many times during the six years I was imprisoned by that bastard Minamoto Mingyi, I would have died long ago."

"It seems that Yui is a good woman."

Xiang Chu nodded, paused, and said thoughtfully, "Yui is from Ryukyu, and her judo skills are so good. Was she forced by Minamoto no Akie to stay by her side?"

Ning Buqu nodded and said, "Yes! She is the daughter of the chief of Liuqiu. Yuan Mingyi occupied their ancestral land and captured many young women as slaves and servants."

Xiang Chu said bitterly: "This Yuan Mingyi! I should have killed him last time."

Ning Buqu shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law! Don't look at how fat Yuan Mingyi is, he is a red belt master of judo, and he is extremely cautious, good at disguise, and very insidious and cunning."

"Yes! Otherwise I wouldn't have used you as a substitute for so many years."

Xiang Chu nodded, caught a bighead carp, threw it into the pond, and sneered,

"Don't worry! I will definitely kill him and avenge you and Yui. But..."

Ning Buqu asked anxiously, "But what?"

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "But Yui must marry you."

Ning Buqu smiled bitterly and said, "I dream about it, but I can't be the master of Yui."

Ning Xiaoquan, who was listening nearby, only half understood what was going on and couldn't help asking, "Which of you two is Yui?"

"No one!"

Ning Buqu and Xiang Chu said in unison.

Ning Xiaoquan proudly caught a big crucian carp and said arrogantly:

"Humph! You dare to hide it from me? It must be a woman."

"Alright! It's already ten o'clock, go back to bed."

Jiang Mei and Ning Caiwei came over and dragged Ning Xiaoquan and Xiang Chu out of the backyard.

The two men wanted to pull Ning Buyi, but Xiang Chu stopped them and whispered:

"He's waiting for his match to come."

"what?!"

Jiang Mei and Ning Caiwei couldn't believe it.

"Let's go!"

Xiang Chu even closed the backyard door.

At this time, there was the roar of an airplane flying in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a loud explosion was heard from the direction of the Wu family compound.

Ning Xiaoquan and Jiang Mei ran out of the house and looked towards the Wu family compound.

Ning Xiaoquan shook his head and said, "The Hangzhou Wu family has completely fallen into decline."

Jiang Mei said bitterly: "He wanted to harm our family, but ended up killing himself."

Xiang Chu was about to run out to take a look when the radio in the guest room rang out.

Ning Caiwei smiled and said, "You go collect it! I'll go upstairs to wash up."

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Come down and accompany me after you finish washing."

"Get lost! This is not Nanjing's home."

Ning Caiwei punched him hard and pushed him into the guest room.

"just kidding!"

Xiang Chu smiled and hurriedly sat down next to the radio.

He quickly transcribed the message and translated it, which showed as follows:

"Little white face! Happy New Year!"

This was sent by Kong Ling from the main station.

Xiang Chu burned the telegram paper and replied immediately: "Happy New Year, Miss Kong! Please quickly inform the Air Force that Wu Ze is a Japanese spy and hope he can be controlled immediately."

Not long after, Kong Ling replied:

"Tell the story right now! Come back to Nanjing as soon as possible to play mahjong."

Xiang Chu replied as she wished, and was about to leave when the phone rang again.

He continued to transcribe and translate the message from Cuilan:

"My benefactor! The devils will send a large number of spies into Peking to harass, sabotage, steal military intelligence, and steal cultural relics and treasures. Lan!"

"Probably stealing cultural relics from the Forbidden City."

Xiang Chu muttered to himself and lit the telegram paper.

At this time, in the backyard by the West Lake.

Ning Buqu looked at the half moon and murmured to himself:

"Yui! How nice it would be if you could come to my side?"

"Shadow! I'm always here for you!"

Yui's leisurely voice sounded from behind him.
