Chapter 303: Bomb under the car chassis

Song Xi received Minister Chen's order and begged after dinner:

"Xiang Chu! You can write your paper in my office this afternoon."

Xiang Chu happily said: "No problem! I will go write the paper now."

"go!"

Kong Ling stood up and said.

Xiang Chu asked in confusion: "You guys don't play mahjong anymore?"

Kong Ling smiled and said, "Stop! You write your paper. Why don't we play in Sister Xi's office?"

"Yes! Very good."

Xiang Chu said happily, deeply worried about her mahjong addiction.

Song Xi gave him the office key and instructed:

"You go first! Don't let the mothers of those two see you."

"As ordered!"

Xiang Chu took the key and left first.

Behind him came the sounds of Wang Manxue and Kong Ling making a fuss about Song Xi.

Wang Manxue: "Sister Xi, just tell me Kong Ling and I are together."

Kong Ling: "Go back and tell your aunt that you like Xiang Chu."

Xiang Chu ran out of the Paoze Hotel and saw a fat lieutenant officer circling around his Buick sedan.

He took a few steps forward and said jokingly, "Lieutenant! Are you interested in my car?"

"Oh! No, just taking a look."

The lieutenant officer said anxiously, turned around and left in a hurry.

Xiang Chu checked the chassis and the inside and outside of the car and didn't find anything unusual.

Lao Hei stood guard and said with a smile: "Commander Xiang! This man just took a look around."

Xiang Chu handed Lao Hei a handful of Camel cigarettes and said with a smile, "Lao Hei! Please help me keep an eye on it. I have caught too many Japanese spies. Don't let them plant bombs on the car."

Lao Hei took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir! Don't worry, I will ask the next shift to watch it."

"Okay! Please."

Xiang Chu waved his hand and walked into the door of the Political Department.

He turned his head casually and glanced behind him, and found that the fat lieutenant was also looking at him.

At this time, Song Xi and the other four girls had already walked out of the "Pao Ze" hotel, but the fat lieutenant chose to leave immediately.

"It seems that this guy is here to stare at me."

Xiang Chu pondered inwardly and hurried into the office building.

A paper to be submitted to the Supreme Command, which concerns the fate of the country and nation, is not easy to write.

Xiang Chu finally got the mahjong game started in the afternoon with the shouts of several young ladies.

When the work bell rang, he dialed the Dai Nong office and said with a wry smile:

"Director! Secretary Song left me at the Central Party Headquarters to write my thesis."

"I know that without you telling me!"

Dai Nong smiled, paused, and then praised,

"You kid! You spoke really well at the meeting this morning. I was impressed."

Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "You are too kind, Director! But I was kicked out of the venue."

"The higher-ups were using you as a test, and you did a great job. Haha!"

Dai Nong laughed loudly, then changed the subject and sighed,

"Xiao Xiang! The Japanese spies in Nanjing are rampant again. Just this afternoon, the ammunition depot and oil depot exploded one after another, the military camp was attacked, officers were stabbed, and vehicles transporting weapons and ammunition were hijacked. Sigh!"

Xiang Chu said anxiously: "Don't worry, Director, I will start catching Japanese spies as soon as I finish writing my thesis and make sure that no one escapes."

But Dai Nong smiled and said, "No! I'm just telling you that the two brothers Lei Gang and Lei Tie have volunteered to catch all the Japanese spies in two days. Let's wait for good news from them."

"Alright!"

Xiang Chu said helplessly.

Song Xi sat opposite him and saw him hang up the phone. She smiled and said:

"Your acting director seems to trust the Lei brothers."

"Just two gluttons!"

Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and continued to write his paper quickly.

"I'll make you a cup of coffee!"

Song Xi smiled and showed considerable concern for him.

As the workday was about to end, Xiang Chu finally finished writing his paper. Feeling quite satisfied with it, he was about to hand it to Song Xi.

The office phone rang. Song Xi picked it up and chatted for a few words before hanging up. He smiled bitterly and said:

"Xiang Chu! It was all because of Kong Ling's big mouth. He said that you know a lot about the Fusang nobles. His brother wanted you to attend a seminar at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I said you wanted to write a paper, so he directly refused."

Xiang Chu was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Sister Xi! Caiwei's brother Ning Buqu has been a stand-in for the Fuso noble Yuan Mingyi for 6 years. He knows the Fuso nobles too well. He really wants to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he has the ability, quality, and character. Let him go to the seminar first to try."

Song Xi smiled and said, "You saved him the last time you went to Dalian."

"Exactly!"

Xiang Chu said tacitly, handed her the written paper, grabbed her hand and said,

"Sister Xi! This person looks a lot like me. I will be very useful in the future."

"Snapped!"

Song Xi slapped his hand with her backhand, her face flushed, and she lowered her head and said angrily,

"I'm just helping you, why are you grabbing someone's hand? But..."

"Your hands are so beautiful, hehe!"

Xiang Chu was thick-skinned and laughed. Seeing her hesitation, he hurriedly said,

"Sister Xi! But what?"

Song Xi glanced at him dimly, and said with some embarrassment: "Xiang Chu! After all, it is not my decision, and I need to be persuaded. Your Huangpu Pier 9 in Shanghai is better than other piers, and it is safer. Can you borrow it for a while?"

"You can borrow it for as long as you want."

Xiang Chu nodded happily, picked up the phone, and said with a smile,

"I'll tell Shanghai right now."

Song Xi grabbed the phone and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll tell Kong Ling's brother first, what's his name?"

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "I would rather not yield!"

Song Xi said jealously: "You must be trying to please Ning Caiwei, huh!"

Xiang Chu deliberately shouted: "Secretary Ning!"

Song Xi looked towards the door hurriedly, only to see that there was no one there.

She twisted his ears and shouted, "You're asking for a fight!"

"Song Xi! What are you doing?"

The lady suddenly appeared at the office door.

Xiang Chu said anxiously: "It's okay, just kidding!"

"Don't you know how to close the door when you're kidding?"

The lady scolded and closed the door.

Song Xi covered her face and cried:

"What a shame!"

"Sister Xi! I, I'll go first."

Xiang Chu said anxiously, then stood up and ran away.

Song Xi shouted loudly: "Get out of your mind!"

Xiang Chu turned and went to Ning Caiwei's office and closed the door.

Ning Caiwei taunted, "What were you and Sister Xi playing at? And you were caught by Madam."

"This is what happened!"

Xiang Chu covered her ears and talked about finding a job for her brother.

Ning Caiwei clapped her hands and laughed, "I see, it looks like my brother has a chance of joining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Xiang Chu picked up the phone and said, "I'll tell Li Shan right away to vacate the warehouse at Huangpu Pier 9 and let Song Xi's family use it."

Ning Caiwei nodded and said, "You call first, and I'll go over and ask Sister Xi for help. After all, she's my brother, and it would seem ungrateful."

"Very true!"

Xiang Chu nodded.

Ning Caiwei thought about it and said with a smile: "Why don't you just call Kong Ling and ask her to mention this to her brother."

Xiang Chu smiled and said, "Good! We should do it in many ways."

By the time the get off work day was about to end, Ning Buqu's entry into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was almost certain.

Ning Caiwei immediately called home and gave the phone to Xiang Chu.

Xiang Chu recognized Jiang Mei and said with a smile, "Mom! My brother's job has been arranged. Let him go to Nanjing tomorrow and work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Jiang Mei said excitedly: "Really?! That's great! Xiao Xiang is still very powerful."

Ning Caiwei took the phone and said with a smile, "Mom! Let brother stay at my house first after he arrives in Nanjing."

"it is good!"

Jiang Mei readily agreed.

Ning Caiwei and Jiang Mei talked on the phone for a long time, which delayed her getting off work.

Xiang Chu and Ning Caiwei walked out of the office one hour after get off work.

The two walked to the gate of the Political Department, and the sergeant on duty said anxiously:

"Commander Xiang! Someone was hanging around your car this afternoon. You'd better check it."

"Okay, thank you."

Xiang Chu expressed his thanks.

He ran to the side of the car, checked it up and down, and found a bundle of bombs in the gap between the oil pipes in the chassis.

Moreover, the bomb fuse is connected to the car wheels, and the car will explode once it is started.
