EBE Chapter 121 Gathering Wool
Chapter 121 Gathering Wool
After Luo Yining left, Chen Shou knew that Xie Wuwei had cleared the suspicion and immediately contacted Xie Wuwei.
Xie Wuwei had just gotten rid of Nakai Ichiro's suspicion, and Chen Shou would not let him do anything, but just told him,
"We have a major event at the beginning of next month. For your own safety, you'd better not show up in Shanghai."
When Xie Wuwei heard the news, he immediately agreed. He was now a big spy after all, and it would be a disaster if he was mistakenly killed by the Military Control Commission.
He thought about it and came up with a solution, which was to simply miss the action of confronting the Military Control Commission.
This would not only reduce his suspicion, avoid the KMT's counterattack, but also prevent him from participating in any operations to capture the KMT.
He went back and told Lin Ruotang about this.
"I will go to Hong Kong to buy things under the pretext of marriage. You come with me. Let's avoid this military counterattack..."
After hearing this, Lin Ruotang could only say with regret:
"I'm afraid it won't work. I have a mission. Luo Yining asked me to rescue Li Haojie."
Hearing this, Xie Wuwei could only frown.
"Li Haojie was tortured in the early stages and has been detained ever since. He hasn't been interrogated by Zhou Qin. There's something fishy going on. You have to be careful."
Xie Wuwei had to leave, otherwise he would have to fight with the Military Control Commission. Chen Shou asked him to leave because he was worried that he would have an accident, and then "Old Eight" would die in vain.
As for Lin Ruotang, she is an office worker and is not on the front line, so the risk factor is relatively low. Chen Shou doesn't care.
Xie Wuwei took out a telegram and told his hometown that the Military Control Commission’s action had asked the comrades hiding in his hometown not to take any action during this period, and to hide and protect themselves.
When his hometown learned that Xie Wuwei was going to Hong Kong, they asked him to take the opportunity to buy some food and bring it back. At the dock where he was leaving by boat, someone would give him money.
Seeing this, Xie Wuwei had other ideas in his mind. There was not much money in his hometown, and not much food could be bought with it, but he had a purse with him.
The next day, Xie Wuwei figured out his plan and went to Guan Hao's office:
"Captain Guan, I'm going to Hong Kong."
"Going to Hong Kong? What are you going there for?"
Guan Hao was a little curious. Xie Wuwei was not a person who liked to travel around, so why did he want to go to Hong Kong?
"Secretary Lin and I have been together for so long, it's time for us to get married. You know Secretary Lin has high standards. She doesn't like the things in Shanghai, so she asked me to go to Hong Kong to buy some things."
Hearing this, Guan Hao did not doubt it. After all, Xie Wuwei and Lin Ruotang had been together for a long time, and it was normal for them to prepare for their marriage now. Without saying anything, he approved his leave.
Xie Wuwei also went to find Watanabe Ren and told him that he was going to Hong Kong and asked him if he had anything to bring with him.
Watanabe Ren himself is a poor guy and has no money, but Xie Wuwei told him that he would bring him a gift, which moved Watanabe Ren to tears.
Xie Wuwei went to find the Guanye brothers again. Guanye Dog Captain asked Xie Wuwei to help carry a bag for Fujiwara Nanako because he went to find Xingzi and was seen by Fujiwara Nanako.
Xie Wuwei even went to see Ichiro Nakai. Ichiro Nakai asked for some foreign beauty magazines, and Xie Wuwei was not surprised at all.
Seeing that Xie Wuwei had searched for everyone he knew, Lin Ruotang said to him:
"Are you going to do purchasing on behalf of others?"
"Purchasing on behalf of others?"
Xie Wuwei was very confused, but he also thought of the meaning of this word, and said with a smile:
"If I tell everyone I'm leaving, no one will suspect me. But if I leave quietly, that will arouse suspicion."
Lin Ruotang didn't expect Xie Wuwei to think so far ahead. She looked at Xie Wuwei straight in the eyes. Xie Wuwei touched his left cheek, then his right cheek.
"Is there something on my face?"
Lin Ruotang's brain short-circuited, and the memory of the dead attacked her. She suddenly said:
“It’s kind of handsome!”
After she finished speaking, Lin Ruotang finally realized that her brain was filled with earthy love words. She covered her face and ran into the house quickly, her heart screaming like a groundhog.
"what--"
"What am I doing?"
"I actually teased Xie Wuwei!"
Xie Wuwei put down his hand, chuckled at first, then burst out laughing.
"Haha! Tangtang still has good taste!"
Lin Ruotang heard laughter downstairs and hid under the quilt. She was so embarrassed and shy that she could have dug a castle out of it with her toes.
Xie Wuwei still had important things to do, otherwise he really wanted to chase Lin Ruotang and ask, what's so handsome about him?
Seeing that Xie Wuwei didn't ask any further questions, Lin Ruotang tried hard to forget the previous scene.
Xie Wuwei went to Jin Dayong last. He was the most important part of Xie Wuwei's plan. Xie Wuwei had already figured out how to get some money from him.
As soon as he arrived at the Jin family, he shouted with a sincere face:
"Uncle, I have news for you!"
Jin Dayong was sitting on a chair. When he heard Xie Wuwei say this, he held a cigar and asked nonchalantly:
"What good thing?"
Xie Wuwei stepped forward and honestly lit a cigar for Jin Dayong.
“I’m going to Hong Kong!”
"what?"
Jin Dayong shouted at the top of his lungs, then he sat up straight and asked stealthily in a low voice:
"You want to run away?"
Xie Wuwei looked at him in surprise, then he realized what was happening and slapped his forehead.
"Look at me, I didn't tell my uncle clearly that I was going to Hong Kong to do some shopping. Tangtang and I have been together for so long and are planning to get married. But Tangtang doesn't like the things here and wants me to go to Hong Kong to take a look..."
"Get married..."
After hearing what Xie Wuwei said, Jin Dayong took a puff of his cigarette.
"The betrothal gift, are you ready?"
Xie Wuwei sat down and said with a smile:
"Uncle, you are indispensable for the betrothal gift, but I can't come up with it right away..."
Jin Dayong put down his cigarette and glared at Xie Wuwei.
"If you can't get it out, then there's no hope!"
Before he finished speaking, Xie Wuwei's eyes turned cold, frightening Jin Dayong so much that he swallowed his cigarette.
"Ahem, I'm not asking for money. I hope you two have a happy future!"
Xie Wuwei's expression softened, and he said to Jin Dayong:
"Just because I don't have any now doesn't mean I won't have any in the future. Uncle, you know where I was before. As long as you give me some capital first, I can not only earn back the betrothal gift, but also make your capital quadruple."
Hearing this, Jin Dayong understood what Xie Wuwei meant, and he stepped forward excitedly.
"You're going to the casino!"
Xie Wuwei looked at him inscrutable.
"It depends on whether you believe me or not, uncle!"
Jin Dayong thought of Xie Wuwei's methods and force, and it seemed feasible to make a fortune.
If he gave out 100 gold bars, he would get back 200 gold bars. Together with Xie Wuwei's betrothal gift, that would make 300 gold bars in total.
Jin Dayong's eyes turned, this business seems to be done,
“Xiao Xie, look at you, when did your uncle not believe you? Are you really sure?”
When Xie Wuwei arrived, he was already prepared. He threw out a stack of cards with a defiant look on his face.
"Uncle, just test me to see if I'm lying!"
Xie Wuwei took off the watch on his wrist and smiled mysteriously.
"Let's have some fun."
