Chapter 220: The Contractor (38)

Lu Sanye, the founder of Shanghai, took a ship, while Xiao Lan and his party took a plane. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info even if you are rich and powerful, you can't get a direct ticket, you can only squeeze on the ship with ordinary people, Lu Sanye and Gu Wei are very well-connected, and they are about to come out.

Overnight, from the prison to the retro car to the Hongqiao Airport of the Republic of China, the group did not say much, except for Xiao Lan's concern and inquiry about Xiao Qiang, basically no one was silent, Xiao Lan did not say a word to the other three, the reason is very subtle, if she is not mistaken, the last time someone "kindly" took her out of prison, and then she was pointed at gunpoint. Now that she is not being pointed at gunpoint, her mood is not much better.

A former employer, a dangerous diplomat, and a foreigner who doesn't know him at all, have no reason to speak.

What Xiao Lan hates the most is the sense of uncontrollability, such as a series of things that happened before. She knew that there was a relationship between Gui Xue and Gu Wei, and she didn't care, she was about to leave Shanghai with Xiao Qiang, so these things were none of her business, let alone care.

It's not that you think it has nothing to do with you, and if you don't care about it, it won't find you. Gui Xue has a secret, Xiao Lan doesn't inquire, let alone know, Gu Wei's origin is also mysterious, Xiao Lan is not curious, and she doesn't communicate. As a result, things got out of her control, and she was arrested inexplicably, and her murder was also true, but it happened without warning, and she didn't know anything, so she hated it.

Her current mood is mixed.

In other words, when she came to this mission world, she didn't have a clear goal, and after escaping from the yarn factory, she also wandered around, and then was discovered by Gui Xue of the Guifang Song and Dance Hall, hired, and forgot about the mission. It is precisely because of forgetting that they will drift with the crowd like this, and they will be content without desire.

As Xiao Lan fell into deep thought, the car was also rushing to Hongqiao Airport at the fastest speed, obviously it was night, but it was already overcrowded, the reason can be imagined, a small number of Shanghai people who got the news of the war, began to flee with their families, the airport was crowded. There are few flights and many people fleeing, so naturally there will be people who can't take care of it. The group avoided the agitated crowd and was allowed to pass from the other side.

Only a few people know about the arrival of the war, not to mention Xiao Lan and Xiao Qiang, who have been locked up for two days, they don't know. Xiao Lan can rely on her previous guesses and current scene speculations, but Xiao Qiang is different, she is almost confused.

Walking in the passage, Xiao Qiang could see the whole picture of the airport, she didn't know the plane at all, so she asked Gui Xue, who was walking in front, and asked suspiciously, "Miss Gui, where are we now?" Whether it is the current situation or the plane below, she doesn't know anything.

"We're going to fly to the U.S. later. Gui Xue was wearing civilian clothes, carrying a suitcase full of gold, followed closely behind Gu Weishi, walked briskly, and finally found time to explain to Xiao Qiang, and the conversation was still unsteady because of the fast walking, so she answered concisely.

Xiao Qiang knew about airplanes, and when she was at the Guifang Song and Dance Hall, she overheard a guest say that a flying means of transportation was as magical as a car. Born in a remote mountainous area, she gradually expanded her horizons when she came to Shanghai. Xiao Qiang still had a lot of doubts, but Gui Xue's attitude of not wanting to say more made her shut up.

Xiao Qiang shut up, because Gui Xue's majesty was still the same, and Xiao Lan spoke: "People outside, what's going on?" As she spoke, her brows furrowed, not understanding the current situation.

"The Japanese have gone north, their target is Shanghai, the Nationalist Government will not work, and Shanghai will surely fall within a week. Gui Xue didn't answer, but Gu Wei, who was walking in front, explained the current situation in a few words.

"If it's a war, it's impossible to have so many people, and although the airport gates are crowded, it's far from enough."

"No, it is only spread among a small number of insiders, and the information is so blocked that the people don't know about it yet. Gu Wei explained helplessly.

In a war, ordinary people are often the last to be told, and the municipal government, for the sake of stability, did not let the major newspapers publish it, and forced the news down, as a result, only a small number of people can know, and the insiders can be the first to run away, and it is the upper class. The biggest victims of war are often ordinary people, and most of them die in war, without having the right to speak. The brutal, sentimental, and most patriotic people who exaggerate war are often the first to leave.

At the end of the conversation, after walking this short road, the group almost raced against time and came to the airlineramp, where someone was already waiting next to the small airliner. One by one, they got up the ladder, got into the airliner, and took off......

The interior of the passenger plane is cramped, just enough for five people, such a small space, and simple facilities, Xiao Lan also understands that this is not a passenger plane, but a private jet. After takeoff, the noise was extremely heavy, and it accelerated all the way to the sky, overlooking Shanghai under the dark night, with a wide field of vision, and finally broke through the clouds and came to the sky where the air flow was calm, and everything was quiet.

Silence also means safety.

Gu Wei and Frank planned a smooth rescue operation, they originally only wanted to save Gui Xue alone, but Gui Xue insisted on begging her to bring the Xiao Lan sisters with them. Fortunately, Gu Wei's feeling for Xiao Lan is not bad, and Xiao Lan's conscientious work and good attitude make Gui Xue very good, Gui Xue inadvertently put Xiao Lan in the position of a friend, Frank is not exclusive to saving people, and finally acts separately, and two sisters are born if they succeed.

But Xiao Lan didn't care about them, and only cared about Xiao Qiang.

After Gu Wei stabilized the plane, he took out some food from somewhere and asked everyone to fill their stomachs, Gui Xue put the suitcase aside, said a word to Gu Wei, and began to close his eyes and recuperate. Gu Wei and Frank had a snack, but Xiao Lan had no appetite, and in prison, Xiao Qiang was so hungry that she couldn't eat because she had something on her mind.

With the opportunity, she sat down next to Xiao Lan, approached, and asked what she was more concerned about: "Sister, where are we going?"

"Go to the United States. Xiao Lan looked at her and replied patiently, in a reassuring tone.

Xiao Qiang was silent, it was an unknown place, she was saved by a stranger, and now she has to go to a strange country. In prison, without Xiao Lan's company, Xiao Qiang was terrified and uneasy during those two days, because she knew that killing someone would lead to death. Fortunately, I came out, the first thing I wanted to see Xiao Lan, and the second thing I wanted to go home.

"I just heard that the Japanese are coming, shouldn't we go home?" she had heard the conversation between Xiao Lan and Gu Wei before, and now asked in an almost begging tone.

The war has broken out in the north, Japan is encroaching on China's territory step by step, and now even if Xiao Lan is like walking, he will not be able to go anywhere, and no place is safe, only abroad.

"Not now, it's too dangerous. She could only answer truthfully.

When Xiao Qiang heard this, she lowered her head and stopped talking.
