Chapter 437: Mission Connection
"I'll go call my home to report my safety." Lu Xiyan settled down.
"The phone is in the study on the second floor." Lao Meng said, "The phone bill in Hong Kong is cheaper than in Shanghai, but the long-distance drunks are a little more calculated by counting. In Shanghai, the price is within five minutes."
"Yeah?"
Lu Xiyan went to the study on the second floor. Meng Hao probably rarely came here. The books in the window were all from foreign languages, and there were basically no signs of moving them.
The phone is placed on the desk.
"Hey, I want a long-distance, Shanghai French Concession, No. 2, Lane 117, Fukaisen Road... Yes, this is the phone number..."
After waiting for about five minutes, the phone was connected.
Yan Lei answered the phone.
"Yan Lei, it's me. We have arrived in Hong Kong smoothly. Remember this phone number. If you have any questions, you can call me. How much trouble you have to do with your family."
"I understand, sir, don't worry." Yan Lei replied.
Meng Fanxing was organizing supper in the kitchen downstairs, while Lu Xiyan stayed alone in the study room upstairs. When he went to Hong Kong, the first thing he did was to go to the Fuxin Hotel in Kowloon City and hand over the "fair currency version" to Song Xin.
Then the second thing was to contact Tan Si, who had already arrived in Hong Kong.
If he wants to keep in touch with Guo Hanjie and others in Shanghai in Hong Kong, he cannot use a wired long-distance telephone, it must be a radio station.
Tan Si and the others brought the radio station here.
Then he had to wait for the summons of the Military Command Dai Yunong, and, most importantly, he also went to see Comrade Li, who had been waiting for him in Hong Kong for a long time.
There are not many things, and we have to do it one by one.
This is not Shanghai. Without the protection of Ma Xiaowu and Yan Lei, everything is coming alone, full of unknown dangers.
Put the "fiat currency master version" you carry with you into the safe in the study room and set the password.
This thing must be sent away as soon as possible and cannot be delayed for a moment.
"Xiyan, after dinner, why are you alone in the study?" While thinking about what to do next, the door of the study was pushed open from outside by Meng Fanxing.
"Oh, here we come, what to eat tonight?"
"Uncle Gui specially bought abalone and shrimp, made some Cantonese dishes, saying that he would let you taste it." Meng Fanxing said.
"Is that so? Let's go and say it, I'm almost drooling. Let's go down to have a meal." Lu Xiyan hurriedly stood up and said.
"Come on, our family has finally reunited in Hong Kong. Cheers!" As soon as Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing arrived, the family became very popular.
"Sister Fanxing, you are finally here. I have a lot to say to you." Xi Mengyao had a great morning sickness. Although Meng Hao's arrival made her very happy, there was finally someone to accompany her. Many things about her daughter's family were not convenient to tell Meng Hao.
"Okay, I'll go to your room later." Meng Fanxing nodded.
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, Uncle Gui, are you still living alone in Hong Kong?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"Report to the young master, I am still alone."
"It's too inconvenient to live alone, otherwise you would move to your house and live together. Anyway, the place is big, so when you move in, you can talk to your dad." Lu Xiyan said.
"Yes, we can't get into trouble with the young people. Come here, we two can play chess and drink some wine or something." Lao Meng looked full of hope.
"Dad, are you still drinking?"
"The weather is warm in Hong Kong. I haven't had asthma for a day, so it's okay to drink some alcohol." Lao Mengtou explained.
"dad……"
"Okay, Meimei, dad's body, it's not a big problem to drink some in moderation, don't worry too much." Lu Xiyan hurriedly grabbed Meng Fanxing.
"Uncle Gui, we may come to Hong Kong often in the future. It is better to live with us than to live alone. Everyone will take care of each other." Lu Xiyan said.
"The young master said so, how dare I not obey?" Uncle Gui said hurriedly.
"Come on, Uncle Gui, I'll give you a cup. In the past six months, if you were not in Hong Kong, our Anping Pharmacy would not have gained a foothold in Hong Kong, and it has also developed several branches." Lu Xiyan stood up and raised his glass.
"This is because the young master is good at managing it. If the master and his wife know about it, they will definitely feel relieved." Uncle Gui said, his eyes turning red.
Lu Xiyan was also a little sad. His parents had passed away for more than a year. When he came back, he had already been buried in peace and had not even seen the last time. It is said that the body was crushed under the ruins. When it was dug out, it was beyond recognition and could not be seen at all.
The weather was hot and I couldn't hold it at all, so I could only restrain myself. The two coffins were bought by Lao Mengtou at a high price, otherwise, I wouldn't even have a place to stay.
"Uncle Gui, all of them have passed, and the living must look forward." Lu Xiyan said.
"Young Master can understand this truth. Those of us who have followed the Master for many years are happy." Uncle Gui said with an emotional excitement and covered his mouth.
Lu Xiyan wanted to take revenge, but who should he ask for revenge? He didn't know who dropped the bomb. His parents' big revenge is actually national revenge.
Only by completely eliminating the invaders can it be considered true revenge and can we comfort our parents' spirit in heaven.
"Uncle Gui, don't call me Young Master in the future, just call me Xiyan."
"No, the superiors and inferiors cannot be overruled."
"Uncle Gui, Xiyan is not used to others calling him that. In this way, Axiang and the others directly call Xiyan Mr., so you call him that too." Meng Fanxing said.
"Sir?" Uncle Gui was a little uncomfortable, but finally agreed.
The climate here in Hong Kong is humid and warm, much warmer than Shanghai. If you go out in Shanghai and don’t wear a cotton jacket, you will be trembling so cold.
When you get here, it may be colder at night. You can basically not feel cold when wearing a sweater during the day and a coat outside.
"Xiyan, I heard from Uncle Gui that you bought this house by Uncle Gui." After dinner and going upstairs to rest, Meng Fanxing asked while tidying up the clothes he brought.
"Yes." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Are you planning to live in Hong Kong for a long time?" Meng Fanxing said.
"I plan to let my dad stay in Hong Kong. The climate here is better than that in Shanghai, but I am afraid that he will be lonely here alone." Lu Xiyan said.
"The situation in Shanghai is getting more and more complicated, so it's better for dad to stay in Hong Kong." Meng Fanxing nodded, "Mengyao is alone in Hong Kong and needs someone to take care of her."
"During this period, I have been looking for a reliable person. After we leave, we can wash and cook for my dad and Mengyao." Lu Xiyan said.
"I'd love to bring Xiao He here."
"Xiao He can't do it." Lu Xiyan shook his head. Gu Xiaobai is in Hong Kong. If He Xiaofen comes, what will Gu Xiaohui do?
It’s not that they are not allowed to reunite their family, but that Gu Xiaobai cannot have any bonds to work with peace of mind within the Military Control Commission.
"Well, I will ask Uncle Gui to help find it tomorrow. If you want to recruit people before the New Year, it is probably not easy." Meng Fanxing said.
"Don't hurry to find this matter, just look for it slowly." Lu Xiyan said, "By the way, is Mengyao's morning sickness serious?"
"I was quite serious a few days ago. What to eat and vomit. I have been much better in the past week. Maybe it's because of my good mood, but it's not that serious. Today, Meng Yao's complexion looks good, but she's a little poor in nutrition." Meng Fanxing said.
"How many days have Mengyao been pregnant? Find time for Haozi to take her to the hospital for a detailed examination." Lu Xiyan said.
"Well, okay, I will remind Xiaohao of this."
"Tomorrow, I plan to go out. Since we are in Hong Kong for the New Year, we have to buy some things. Although we bring some from Shanghai, it is not enough."
"Okay, will I accompany you?"
"No, don't you still have to write a paper? You don't have to work during this period, and you can just write a paper with peace of mind. I just need to ask Uncle Gui to send two people to me from the office to follow me." Meng Fanxing said.
"Okay, Hong Kong's public security is pretty good. Take Ah Xiang with you." Lu Xiyan nodded. He was not too worried about the safety issue. Meng Fanxing is not an ordinary woman, and Ah Xiang's skills are even more unbearable to ordinary people.
"Um."
"Take a shower and change your pajamas..."
...
It was impossible for Lu Xiyan to stay at home to write a paper quietly. The next morning, Meng Fanxing took A Xiang and Uncle Gui out of the house. He then changed into a canvas jacket and a gray baseball cap, and also went out.
Kowloon City is not very far from where he lives. It is a slum, and the security and environment are the worst in Hong Kong. Thieves, cigarette dealers, wanted criminals...
This is a place where there are no concerns. As long as you hide here, the Hong Kong police will be even more indifferent to the country. Guangdong Province has been occupied by the Japanese.
This is a hotbed for criminals.
The place Lu Xiyan was going to is naturally not in the city, but outside the city. It was not easy to find. With his half-baked Cantonese language, he knew that he came from China with just a mouth.
Fortunately, he was prepared and dressed in a simple and simple manner, otherwise he would have been taken to the ditch several times.
After a long time of hard work, he found the Fuxin Hotel that Ma Yunfei mentioned. The sign was not big and almost submerged in a row of signs.
It's a long and narrow street, and I don't know if there is any business in a hotel that runs here.
However, it should be pretty good to see the traffic on the street.
The air is a bit dirty, and it is like this in slums, and it is also like this in slums and refugee areas in Shanghai. Maybe it’s because I’m used to it, and none of the people on the streets think anything.
There are all kinds of people selling on the street, and there are also some women with a bad appearance, standing at the stairs, holding cigarettes in their hands, and pedestrians rushing to the road are posing.
"Catch the thief..."
The thief rushed over, no one reached out to stop him, and even deliberately asked him to look at a road. He was surrounded by cold expressions. He was chasing a young man with an anxious face, and he was in the middle of winter, shirtless, chasing a thin figure.
Reason told him not to meddle in other people's business, but when he saw the man's angry and anxious look, he couldn't help but stretch his legs to trip the thin black shadow.
Tag!
The thin black shadow suddenly flew up in the air and fell to the ground. The young man rushed up and pressed the person tightly to the ground.
Lu Xiyan was among the invisible crowd, not far ahead, and the signboard of Fuxin Hotel was already above his head.
The big man who lost money retrieved his money from the thief and turned his head to find someone who helped him, but found that there was no trace of the person.
In Kowloon City, be a good person and never leave your name.
This was Lao Song’s advice to Lu Xiyan later.
