Lu Yuan, who was flashlighted, slowly walked into this secret room made of steel plates, but after he saw the situation in the secret room clearly, Lu Yuan secretly pouted to express his extreme dissatisfaction. Walking into the secret room, the shelves on several walls were full of porcelain calligraphy and paintings, Lu Yuan searched around the secret room with a flashlight, only to find more than a dozen unopened volumes of ocean and about a few thousand pieces of fiat dollars. There was only this amount of money in the secret room of the head of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau, and Lu Yuan's heart was full of doubts, especially when he felt that the porcelain calligraphy and paintings on the shelves did not seem to be very valuable.

Lu Yuan doesn't understand antiques such as porcelain, calligraphy and painting, but Lu Yuan, who came from later generations, has always been influenced by some collecting craze in later generations, is this just a trick of the Huang family? The doubts in Lu Yuan's heart became heavier and heavier. Looking at the time again, Lu Yuan began to touch and move the porcelain calligraphy and paintings placed on the shelves, trying to find something strange among them. Lu Yuan believed that if the Huang family deliberately put some invaluable antiques in the secret room, then there must be something strange in the steel secret room that the Huang family worked so hard to build.

Touching and moving all the items on the compartment of the secret room, Lu Yuan didn't notice anything unusual, but he didn't give up because of this, and instead focused on the square floor tiles under his feet. Since the Huang family has already spent such a price to build such a steel secret room underground, why do they have to lay floor tiles in one more move? Lu Yuan squatted down, took out a short knife from the storage space, and then tapped the floor tiles under his feet one by one with the handle of the knife, and soon, Lu Yuan found an abnormality in the corner of the secret room.

After the two floor tiles near the left corner were hit by the handle of the knife, they made a different sound from the other floor tiles, Lu Yuan was overjoyed, and then slowly pried up the two floor tiles with a short knife. The two adjacent floor tiles were pried up by Lu Yuan one after another, and Lu Yuan saw an iron plate welded with a pull ring on the cement base under the floor tiles, and pulled the iron plate hard, and Lu Yuan's eyes immediately reflected a golden light.

Gold bars, the rectangular grooves under the iron plate are all gold bars that the housekeeper Fu Bo called a big yellow croaker, and Lu Yuan's breathing gradually became short. The groove in front of him looks like it can be half a square meter in size, although Lu Yuan doesn't know how deep this groove is, but just the layer of gold bars above the groove, there can be no less than 100. Looking at the gold bars covered in the groove, Lu Yuan secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and after calming his mind a little, he reached out and touched the gold bars in the groove and began to collect them into the storage space.

1 layer, 2 layers, 3 layers, until this meeting, Lu Yuan did not know how rich this Huang family was, the gold bar called the big yellow croaker was paved in this groove as many as 6 layers, in addition, Lu Yuan also found a few exquisitely made sandalwood boxes at the bottom of the groove. Putting all the gold bars in the groove into the storage space, Lu Yuan, who didn't have time to delay any longer, returned the iron plates and floor tiles to their original places as they were, and then selected a few antiques that he liked on the shelves of the secret room, and put them all into a black backpack with those ocean banknotes, and then quietly returned to the room where the entrance to the basement was hidden.

Returning from the basement to the ground room, Lu Yuan immediately opened the full-view map, and in Lu Yuan's full-view map, there was no one else in the small building. Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and then left the small building, and returned to the position where he had climbed over the wall and infiltrated with the cover of night. Lu Yuan sneaked into the Huang family alone, and Shu Heman drove away from the back wall of the Huang family first according to Lu Yuan's instructions, but he did not wait at the café according to Lu Yuan's words, but drove the car back and forth a few streets away from the Huang family.

Time seemed to pass quickly, and Shu Heman, who was anxiously waiting, soon found that the time agreed with Lu Yuan had arrived, but Shu Heman, who drove back to the scheduled time, did not see Lu Yuan's figure, and after waiting for a few minutes, Shu Heman decided not to continue waiting, he judged that Lu Yuan may have missed something. But when he drove to the location of the main entrance of the Huang family, he didn't see anything unusual and flustered about the Huang family, what was going on? Could it be that Lu Yuan didn't have an accident, he just temporarily delayed his return?

With doubts, Shu Heman drove back to the position that was separated from Lu Yuan before, and in less than a minute, Shu Heman saw a black shadow appear on the back wall of the Huang family, and then, he saw Lu Yuan jumping off the wall with a backpack. "Let's go, keep going." Lu Yuan, who returned with his backpack, got into the back seat of the car, and after the car started, Lu Yuan quickly took off the black night coat on his body in the back seat of the car, and changed into a Chinese-style shirt.

Passing by a garbage can on the side of the road, Lu Yuan called a stop and asked Schuchmann to light the night clothes that had been splashed with gasoline and throw them into the trash can. After changing out of his night clothes, Lu Yuan really relaxed, even if he encountered the inspection of the concession patrol on the way back to his residence, as long as Shu Heman was there, he would not have problems. "Let's go, let's go home, I seem to be a little hungry, Faber must be ready to eat." Reaching out and patting the backpack beside him, Lu Yuan smiled at Shu Heman.

On the way back to the residence, Lu Yuan did not encounter the expected inspection, everything went very smoothly, and Lu Yuan couldn't believe it. "Fauber, get us something to eat first, I'm dying of hunger." There was no intention of guarding against Hogg and the others, and after a brief greeting with a few people, Lu Yuan casually handed the backpack he had taken off from the car to Hogg, but he pulled Shuchman into the kitchen.

Hurriedly filling his stomach, Lu Yuan asked Fu Bo, who had been waiting for him, to rest first, and then took Shuchman and them upstairs to the study. According to Lu Yuan's instructions, Hogg came here before dark with three Germans who had the same experience as him, and after waiting for more than an hour, he finally saw Lu Yuan, and the backpack that Lu Yuan handed him could already explain a lot of things, Hogg wisely chose not to take the initiative to ask.

|“ Several, I know that you are very familiar with Hogg, since you were brought by Hogg, then there is no problem on my side, as long as you are willing to accept my employment, I will pay you this week's salary immediately. Lu Yuan took out a cigarette and distributed it to everyone, but he didn't mention the backpack just now, and Shu Heman was silent. The Germans who had been brought to Lu Yuan's residence by Hogg glanced at each other, and finally all of them looked at Hogg.

"Bosses, they are all people I know well, and they are in the same trouble as me, because my wife is Jewish and have to leave Germany. This is Feliman, who used to be a good painter, and over there are the Claire brothers, and the big Claire is a soldier like Schuchmann, and the little Claire is a supervisor in the factory. This is Schaefer, who was an engineer at the Berlin City Hall before leaving Germany. Hogg immediately introduced the identities and origins of several people to Lu Yuan, and learned that the elder brother of the two brothers used to be a soldier like Schuchman, so Lu Yuan couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"Gentlemen, Hogg and Schuchmann were the first people I hired, and I valued character over ability. Since you can accept Hogg's invitation to come to me, it means that you already have the intention of accepting my employment, so I am here to tell you why I have hired you. Lu Yuan didn't intend to hide from the people Hogg had found for himself, anyway, he would continue to hire more people.

"I have very reliable information that the Japanese are likely to launch a war of aggression against China soon, and that Shanghai will be their starting point, and that Nanjing, the capital of China, will be their key target. The Japanese do not dare and will not use force against foreigners living in China, so you can rest assured of your own safety, and I am worried about the innocent civilians in Nanjing. The Chinese pay attention to the integrity of preferring jade to crush rather than to be complete, and once the Japanese army starts a war, it is bound to be resisted vigorously by the Chinese army, and according to my understanding of the Japanese, once the Japanese army that has suffered heavy losses breaks through Nanjing, it is bound to vent their anger on the civilians. ”

"And that's exactly why I hired you, because I need your help to set up a refugee area in Nanjing, and after the Japanese army breaks through Nanjing, I will do my best to contain the civilians in the city who have not had time to evacuate." Lu Yuan finally said his purpose and plan, and the few Germans who followed Hogg here were already dumbfounded. They originally thought that Hogg's young boss hired him, at most as a bodyguard and beater, but none of them thought that the young boss's purpose would be so crazy.

The shocked look on the faces of these people was all seen by Lu Yuan, and while signaling Schuhman to calm down with his eyes, Lu Yuan immediately smiled at these people. "You may think that what I want you to do is too crazy, and you may even think that I am not doing enough, but what I want to say is, no matter what, I must do it." As he spoke, Lu Yuan put the black backpack that Hogg had brought into the study on the table and opened it, and poured out a pile of oceans and banknotes from the backpack.

"There is an old Chinese saying that under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man, and besides, what I want you to do is not to fight the Japanese army, but to act as a guard to maintain order in the containment area. And I can tell you right now that this plan of mine has been supported by the German Consulate, and that you will wear German weapons and be equipped with German-style weapons during your stay in Nanjing, and I believe that as long as the Japanese army is not blind, they will never have a conflict with you. ”

As soon as Lu Yuan's words came out, the hearts of Freeman and the others fell to the ground at once, since they had already obtained the support of the German consulate, this matter was much easier to handle, and it gave the Japanese great courage, and they would not dare to clash with them wearing German military uniforms and equipped with German-style weapons. Knowing the change in everyone's expressions, Lu Yuan secretly laughed, and finally pulled these guys onto his thief ship.
