Chapter 173: A Chance Encounter
In fact, Lu Yuan did not know that since Korea was occupied by Japan, the Korean people have not actually stopped resisting for a single day. In March 1919, a huge anti-Japanese uprising broke out throughout the territory of Korea, calling for the independence of Korea, and the Korean people launched various forms of anti-Japanese and national restoration movements at home and abroad. On April 13 of the same year, the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was proclaimed in Shanghai and became the center leading the Korean independence movement.
At this time, the Korean Liberation Army had not yet been established, so Shanghai was still the center of gravity of the South Korean government-in-exile, and after the outbreak of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the armed recovery movement of the Korean provisional government entered an active period. Therefore, it is really nothing that Lu Yuan met a few Koreans on the streets of Shanghai, but what surprised Lu Yuan was that what these Korean men and women were talking about at the moment was that they attacked the Japanese military police and Japanese puppet spies last night.
"Brother, who do you think will be the one who attacked the Japanese military police last night? Do you think it will be the officers of the Nationalist Army who were injured and left behind in Shanghai during the Battle of Songhu? When we were training in Nanjing last year, those national army instructors were so powerful. A young man in a peaked cap asked the older man in his companion in a low voice, and the eyes of the others naturally looked at the older man.
"Masao's speculation is not unreasonable, but I guess that the person who attacked the Japanese military police is not an officer of the national army, and I think he should not be a soldier at all." The middle-aged man's words surprised several other people, including Lu Yuan, who was eavesdropping on them. "You think, according to the information we got that there were shootouts in several places last night, if the attacker was alone, where did he get the exact information? You can't just shoot Japanese soldiers on the street, right? ”
This middle-aged man's analysis seems to be correct, but in fact, he doesn't know that Lu Yuan, who did these things, is not a normal ordinary person, and Lu Yuan, who has his back to them, can't help crying and laughing in his heart when he hears the middle-aged man make such an inference. "Brother Zhengxun, do you mean to say that last night's attacker was not a person, but an organization?" The young man who was the first to talk about this matter continued, although Lu Yuan, who was facing away from them, could not see the expressions of those people, but Lu Yuan guessed that the middle-aged man should be nodding.
"That's right, let's not talk about the ruthlessness of their attack on the Japanese military police, let's just say that when they ambushed those special high school agents, if they didn't have enough sufficient intelligence support, how could they so easily set up an ambush in the concession and wait for those special high class agents to fall into the trap? We've also dealt with people from the extra high class countless times, don't you think people from the extra high class are easy to deal with? That's why I just said that the attacker would not be alone, because one person simply cannot do it all. The middle-aged man was very sure that Lu Yuan would not be alone, and Lu Yuan just listened quietly.
These Koreans, who were not as vigilant as Feng Chong, talked about other things in the following time, and Lu Yuan listened for a while, and found that there was nothing that interested him, so he got up and prepared to check out and leave. There is an old Chinese saying that things are unpredictable, and Lu Yuan never thought that there would be a bloody plot like the one in the novel that happened to him, but now it has happened.
Just when Lu Yuan got up and stood up to check out and leave, a few men in short shirts came from somewhere, and they sat at the table between Lu Yuan and the stall owner. Lu Yuan took out the money from his wallet, and walked towards the owner of the stall with his head down, and somehow, Lu Yuan, who was walking with his head down, bumped into one of the men in a short shirt. The collision between the two was actually nothing, and Lu Yuan also said sorry to the other party for the first time, but he didn't expect that the other party would reach out and grab his collar unrelentingly.
"If you hit someone, you want to leave, there is no such good thing in the world." The man in the short shirt with a meaty face reached out and grabbed Lu Yuan's collar, but the corner of his eye glanced at the wallet in Lu Yuan's hand, and the greed in his eyes even Lu Yuan could see it clearly. "Boy, my brother taught me to be a good man, and it's not okay to just say sorry when you hit someone. According to the rules of our road, you have to invite someone with status to cross the road, if you are not mixed in the road, then take the money out to settle the matter, otherwise this matter will not be over. ”
The man in the short shirt has already made it very clear, they just want to blackmail Lu Yuan's money, who called Lu Yuan looked young, but he was holding a bulging wallet in his hand. Lu Yuan looked around at these men in short shirts, and then reached out and pressed lightly between the elbows of the men opposite, and the other party let go of his hand with a scream, and Lu Yuan pushed back slightly, widening the distance between himself and the other party. "Brothers, this kid is a little weird, let's go together, and everyone will share the money together." The man in the short shirt who was rubbed by Lu Yuan's hand screamed and stretched out his hand to Lu Yuan again.
Several other men in short shirts were also agitated, but before they could make a move in unison, they saw that the companion who was the first to do it had stiffened his body at this moment, and was standing in place with his arms outstretched in a daze, not daring to move. A man carrying a bench walked around to the side, only then could he see what was going on, only to see Lu Yuan, who had already put away his wallet, was holding a short gun, and the muzzle of the gun was straight on the head of his companion.
"Come on, let's see if your fists and kicks are faster, or if the gun in my hand is faster." Lu Yuan took a step back again, but the muzzle of the gun in his hand was always pointed at the head of the man who wanted to grab him. "The rivers and lakes also have rules of the rivers and lakes, and even the Green Gang has rules of not bullying the weak and not bullying women and children. I don't know if you're in the same way, but I do know that sooner or later, people like you will be hacked to death on the streets. ”
Finding that Lu Yuan had a gun in his hand, these men in short shirts immediately became honest, and the Korean men and women who had been watching the excitement just now also looked at Lu Yuan with surprise on their faces. forced these short-shirted men back with a pistol, and when Lu Yuan paid the bill, the stall owner secretly persuaded Lu Yuan to leave quickly, because these short-shirted men were not good people, and it was rumored that those short-shirted men had a relationship with the Japanese.
"It's 30 yuan, even if your stall is contracted by me tonight, you can quickly close the stall and go home, just leave me a chair, I want to see what they have to do with the Japanese." The stall owner didn't persuade Lu Yuan to be fine, as soon as he heard that those short-shirted men might have something to do with the Japanese, Lu Yuan immediately came to his senses. Then he smiled and took out a few banknotes and gave them to the kind stall owner, but he dragged a chair and sat on the side of the road, waiting for the short-shirted man to return.
Those Korean men and women also immediately checked out and left, looking like they didn't want to be implicated, but in fact, they just walked a short distance and quietly stopped, and hid in the dark and watched Lu Yuan from afar. At this time, Lu Yuan had already opened the full-view map, how could the traces of these Koreans be hidden from Lu Yuan, but he had no time to pay attention to those Koreans now, and there were a large number of red dots gathered together two streets away from here.
Lu Yuan, who watched the stall owner leave, didn't know if those red dots were coming at him, at this moment he was just ready for battle, just waiting for the unlucky guy to show up. After about a few minutes, the short-shirted men finally appeared, and found that Lu Yuan not only did not leave, but actually sat on the side of the road with a golden knife, and the leading short-shirted man grinned and laughed. "Boy, if you're sensible, hand over your wallet right away, otherwise..."
The short-shirted man hadn't finished speaking, Lu Yuan, who had been sitting and didn't move, raised his hand to shoot, only to hear a miserable scream, and the short-shirted man in the lead was dug a bloody hole in his right shoulder by Lu Yuan's shot. Hearing the gunshots, the small red dots that were originally scattered at the corner of the street immediately gathered around this side, and Lu Yuan had already got up and stood up, and after running up in a few arrows, with the help of the power of jumping in the air, he climbed the wall behind him with both hands, and with the strength of his arms, the whole person had already climbed onto the wall.
Lu Yuan's action over the wall was so fast that not only the men in short shirts were dumbfounded, but even the Koreans in the shadows in the distance were stunned. Lu Yuan, who climbed over the wall, did not leave, but stepped on the wall and climbed onto the nearby roof, and after stopping on the roof for a while, Lu Yuan had already retrieved his assault rifle from the storage space. "Bang bang... Bang bang... Bang bang.... After firing a few two shots in a row, Lu Yuan, who was squatting on the roof, successfully knocked several suspicious men who rushed into the street to the ground.
"It's him, it must be him." The middle-aged Korean man who was watching from afar suddenly shouted, "It must be him, he is the attacker who attacked the Japanese military police and Japanese puppet spies last night." If you listen to the rhythm of his shooting, it has always been a double burst of fire, and the information we have obtained also describes the attacker in this way. The South Koreans were delighted by the sound of gunfire on the rooftops in the distance, but there was a hint of loss in their joy because they had been sitting back to back with the attackers.
"There must be a chance, as long as the attacker is still fighting here, we will definitely have a chance to meet him." Kim Jung-hoon reached out and patted the shoulders of the others beside him, and encouraged them vigorously. Lu Yuan, who had already shot several Japanese puppet spies in a row, didn't know that the few Koreans hiding in the distance were paying attention to him at the moment, and all his attention was on these Japanese puppet spies at the moment.
