Chapter 178: Confirmed
Leaving Hansen's bar, Lu Yuan found that there were indeed many Japanese checkpoints on the street, fortunately there were people sent by Hansen to follow, Lu Yuan was escorted home by Hansen's people without danger, and Aunt Fauberf, who had been nervous, was finally able to put her mind at ease, but after washing, Lu Yuan was blocked in the study by Schuhmann and Hogg. "Shall I have something to eat first? The wontons made by Aunt Fu are delicious, would you two like to have some too? ”
Schuchmann and Hogg had long been accustomed to Lu Yuan's unsparing face, and immediately each gave Lu Yuan a roll of the eye, but the latter didn't take it seriously at all, and just forgot to stuff delicious wontons in his mouth. "I said, can you eat more slowly? When you eat like this, I look a little sick to my stomach, like I see a pig eating. Hogg never gave up the opportunity to hit Lu Yuan, and when he saw that Lu Yuan only cared about eating and ignored the two of them, Hogg immediately turned on the taunt mode.
"Shut up, I'm eating okay, and I asked you two if you want to eat too. In saying that the main purpose of eating is to fill the stomach, what does it have to do with pigs eating, if you are hungry for a few meals, I guess you are even crazier than pigs eating. Lu Yuan tried hard to swallow the wonton in his mouth, and fought back to Hogg without showing weakness, Schuchmann couldn't help but reach out to support his forehead, and sure enough, Hogg and Lu Yuan immediately entered a state of quarrel.
Lu Yuan was arguing with Huo Ge, while secretly laughing in his heart, he successfully diverted the attention of these two goods with a casual word, and he was really capable. Hogg only cared about arguing with Lu Yuan, but he completely forgot what his original intention was for himself and Schuchman to block Lu Yuan in the study, or under Schuchman's continuous fake cough reminders, Hogg came back to his senses. "Damn, we're not here to argue with you, we just want to know, are you going to be an assassin who assassinates the Japanese like this all the time?"
"Assassins? No, I'm a chivalrous man, a chivalrous man who specializes in killing the Japanese. Lu Yuan put down the chopsticks in his hand and smiled at Hogg and Schuhman. The Assassins would only hide in the shadows like rats that could not see the light, and I was fighting the Japanese head-on. I can't be a true warrior, and I don't want to be bound by some rules, so I can only be a knight, that's all. ”
Lu Yuan's answer was obviously not the answer that Hogg wanted to hear, and in Hogg's opinion, Lu Yuan's answer was obviously a bull's lip and a horse's mouth. Just before he could continue to ask, Lu Yuan continued, "Hogg, I know what you care about, and I think I can give a positive answer to the things you care about." I will never implicate the people who live in this house, so in the near future, I may be out of Shanghai for a while, and this home will be handed over to you and Schuchmann, so don't let me down. ”
"Wait, damn it, what did you just say? You're leaving Shanghai? Why? You know I didn't mean that. Lu Yuan's answer made Hogg jump up from his chair immediately, and at the same time looked at Schuchmann with a flushed face, Hogg was worried that his good friend would misunderstand him. Hogg apparently underestimated Schuchmann, and when Hogg looked at Schuchman, he saw that Schuchmann was holding out the middle finger of his right hand to himself.
"Hogg, I'm sad, we're good friends, why don't you have the slightest faith in me?" Schuhmann not only stretched out a middle finger to Hogg, but also joked about Hogg with a nonchalant face, but Lu Yuan, as a bystander, watched it with relish, and even wanted to shout for Schuhman.
"Schuchman, you know I didn't mean that." Hogg reacted quickly, immediately apologized to Schuchman, and then pointed his head at Lu Yuan again. "It's the boss, it's the boss who misled me just now, and you know, the boss has been targeting me, in Germany, and when I come back to Shanghai, it's still like this." Hogg's words of referring to the deer as a horse made Lu Yuan laugh, and even Schuchmann, who had always been upright, grinned a few times.
"Hogg, I'm not kidding you, I've really decided to leave Shanghai for a while." Lu Yuan finally opened his mouth in the middle of Hogg's defense, reached out and took out a map of China, opened it and put it on the table, Lu Yuan pointed to the map on the table and said to Hogg. "China is very big, and there are many cities like Shanghai that are controlled by the Japanese army, and I said that I want to be a chivalrous warrior who fights for the country and the people, so how can I stay in Shanghai all the time with such great ambitions? I want to see the outside world. ”
Lu Yuan's frank confession made Hogg no longer know what he should say immediately, and after getting along with Lu Yuan for a long time, Hogg naturally knew what kind of character Lu Yuan was, and he knew that if Lu Yuan had made up his mind, he would not change it easily. "But... But what do we do? When you were in Germany, you said you were going to make us rich, and if you leave, do we still have to show Hansen the warehouse? ”
Hogg was already a little out of words at the moment, at the same time. Schuchman also turned his head to look at Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan smiled slightly, "This is easy to do, then it is okay to open a business house with Shu Heman, I just left Shanghai for a while, and I will never come back." You and Shuchman will open a trading house in Shanghai, and when the time comes, I will hand over the seized booty to you, and this kind of business will take two or three years, and you and Shuchmann will become real rich men. ”
Lu Yuan's words quieted Hogg, and after secretly thinking about it in his heart, a trace of joy appeared in Hogg's eyes, if what Lu Yuan said could work, then he and Schuchmann could be regarded as hugging a golden thigh this time. Schuchmann had no interest in doing business, but he was not a fool, just thinking back to some sensitive words in the conversation between Lu Yuan and Hogg just now, Schuchmann could understand the meaning of Lu Yuan and Hogg's words just now.
"Boss, the trading house or something can be left to Hogg to take care of, and I also want to go with you to see the outside world." As soon as Schuchmann's words were spoken, they were opposed by Lu Yuan and Hogg. Schuchmann, who encountered the opposition of the two at the same time, felt a little out of breath, especially in the eyes he looked at Hogg, with a sense of resentment, which made Hogg shiver secretly.
"Schuchmann, you must stay, it is impossible for Hogg alone to take care of so many people." Lu Yuan persuaded Shu Heman with kind words. "Actually, I doubt that Hogg would have been able to take care of himself, and if it weren't for Mary's selfless care every day, I think our Mr. Hogg might not even have found his own socks. is a professional guy who loses eggs, do you still expect him to take care of this big family? Tsk, Schuchmann, can you believe it? ”
In order to stop Schuchman, Lu Yuan immediately set up Hogg as a negative example, and what made Hogg even more angry was that Schuchman actually looked at him with a suspicious look following Lu Yuan's words. "And, Schuchmann, you know, I'm going to a lot of small places, and people don't see foreigners as easily as they do in Shanghai. I'm going to trouble the Japanese, not to be watched, Schuchmann, you know what I mean, right? ”
Schuchman reached out and touched his blonde hair and towering nose, and could only sigh helplessly, Lu Yuan and Hogg were relieved. Lu Yuan, who had already decided to leave Shanghai, finally persuaded Hogg and several others, and the next day went to persuade Fu Bo and Aunt Fu, and then called Xu Huanshan to inform the other party of his decision. "Lao Xu, I'm leaving Shanghai, but I haven't decided where I'm going to go after leaving, maybe I'll go all the way north, to Hebei and Guanwai, where the Japanese army is the most, or I'll go south to the Lianghu area, I don't know if you have any good advice for me."
Lu Yuan's voice sounded very relaxed on the phone, but Xu Huanshan on the other end of the phone would not feel relaxed, because just a minute ago, Lu Yuan had just admitted on the phone that the person who attacked the Japanese army one after another was himself. A strong man who can attack the Japanese army and Japanese puppet spies alone for two consecutive nights will actually be Lu Yuan, Xu Huanshan, who has Lu Yuan's appearance in his mind, has not recovered from such shocking news, Lu Yuan threw a bombshell at himself again, he actually wanted to leave Shanghai.
Lu Yuan must not be allowed to leave Shanghai, Xu Huanshan only has this one thought left in his mind at this moment, Lu Yuan has already proved his strength with facts, Lu Yuan stays in Shanghai for a day, and the Japanese puppet spies in Shanghai are like a sharp sword hanging over their heads. In the past two days, because of the large number of casualties of the Japanese puppet spies, the underground party and military commanders who have completely gone underground have all clapped their hands and raised their eyebrows, and Xu Huanshan even counted on Lu Yuan to help him reorganize the prestige of the underground party.
Xu Huanshan wanted to persuade Lu Yuan to continue to stay in Shanghai, and promised to transfer more information to Lu Yuan in the future, but like Hogg and them, Xu Huanshan's persuasion failed to make Lu Yuan change his decision. "Lao Xu, don't persuade me anymore, this place in Shanghai is actually not good for me, and I hope to face the real Japanese army. If you'd like to help, you'd better give me a few of your points of contact and cipher in the north, and I'll probably need intelligence support. ”
"Of course, you are not helping in vain, as long as the information you provide is effective, I will only take what I need from each loot, and the rest will be yours. How? That's a good idea, isn't it? You must know that even if you have money now, it is impossible to buy too good standard weapons and ammunition, and you will not suffer if you cooperate with me. Lu Yuan tried his best to tempt Xu Huanshan on the phone, which made Xu Huanshan feel quite crying and laughing.
