Chapter 392: Survival in Hong Kong (37)
Xiao Ju smelled an unusual aura from Xiao Ju Niang's words. She keenly felt that Zhou Wuhui was going to leave Hong Kong soon. In fact, she also knew that Zhou Wu's life stage was not in Hong Kong, but in the chaos and opportunities of China at this time. You must know that when a soldier leaves the army as a group, both his personal charm and ability will become dim. Only that group can make Zhou Wu like a fish in water.
Until the next day, Xiaoju left home to work, and Zhou Wu did not come back. Although Xiao Ju was a little worried about him, after all, Zhou Wu was not familiar with life in Hong Kong. But when he thought that the other party was free, not to mention that it was Li Guoqiang who brought people to the door and took people away, Xiao Ju let go of that heart when he thought about it.
In the evening, Xiaoju came back from the police station and found that in addition to Chang Qian, there were two more uninvited guests at home. One of the two uninvited guests was Willy, and the other was a complete stranger to the young man. This young man is completely Western-style, cutting a fashionable part-head, wearing a well-fitting dark blue suit, a pair of gold-rimmed round glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a long black woolen coat on his left arm!
Because the pair was sitting, Xiao Ju didn't know the height of the other party. But when this person Xiaoju looked at it for the first time, her heart unconsciously skipped a beat, because this man was too handsome. It has a bit of the charm and appearance of the male protagonist in Korean dramas in his previous life.
Chang Qian was also a handsome guy, but sitting with this person, he was pulled down to a level, Xiaoju knew for the first time that the handsomeness of men sometimes didn't know what they were, but the fusion of looks and bearing. This kind of handsomeness is the most deadly. Chang Qian's handsomeness is childish, and the handsomeness of that strange young man exudes a taste that only mature men have. A young face, the temperament of a mature man, if coupled with ability, this kind of man has extraordinary lethality for a woman at any stage in any era. At least at this moment, Xiao Ju's heart was in a trance.
"Xiaoju, I came to you today, I think you must have guessed the reason!" As soon as Willy saw Xiaoju, he immediately stood up from where he was sitting with an enthusiastic face, stretched out his hands, and stepped forward! looks like he wants to give Xiaoju a warm hug.
Xiao Ju quietly avoided her. There was a detached smile on his face. "Mr. Willie, I won't accompany you back to the interior! And I also advise you to wait for the inland to calm down before continuing your business in the interior! â
"Nope! No! No! Xiaoju, you guessed wrong! I'm not here for the business of a foreign company! Between money and life, I still value my life more than anything else! Willie listened to Xiao Ju's words. Immediately, he shook his head and waved his hand.
"That" Xiaoju couldn't help but look at Chang Qian, who had been sitting quietly on the side. Last night, Yang Liu came to the door and said that Willy's foreign bank was going to get a batch of important materials to go to Shanghai before the year. Could it be that she understood it wrong?
"Xiaoju, don't look at Chang Qian! He didn't know much about it! Moreover, I was also entrusted by someone to send these important materials to the inland before the end of the year. Today I brought all the clients! Willie knew that Chang Qian and his mother had come to look for Xiaoju last night, and he had also signaled it. At this time, I saw Xiaoju looking at Chang Qian's eyes. was worried that Xiaoju would misunderstand the mother and son of the Chang family, so he hurriedly explained.
"Delegator?" When Xiao Ju heard Willy say this, she couldn't help but look at the young man who couldn't help but lose her mind even when she looked at her, who was not young.
"Hmmm! Charlie, this is the little chrysanthemum I mentioned to you! Her martial arts and marksmanship are top-notch! This is now known to the entire Hong Kong Police Department! Xiaoju, this is my client, named Charlie! Only then did Willy remember that he hadn't made an introduction between the client and Xiaoju yet, and was busy making amends.
"Xiaoju! Hello! Charlie stood up and bowed to Xiao Ju, looking polite but detached and indifferent.
"Hello! Charlie! Xiao Ju also seemed to be gentle, but nodded coldly. Although Xiao Ju lost her mind because of Charlie's appearance, the doctor is relatively calmer than ordinary people, not to mention that Xiao Ju is not a face control in her two lives, her growth environment and work environment in her previous life only admire those who are erudite and capable.
"I ask you, along with the 40,000,000 compatriots in the hinterland, to help me escort this batch of important materials to Shanghai and hand them over to the designated people!" Charley's handsome face was full of sternness, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Ju was not pleading, but a kind of determination.
"I wonder what this batch is?" Xiao Ju was indeed unable to refuse Yang Liu like last night because of Charley's words, and although her tone was tactful, there was no hint of maneuvering. But she didn't want to die because of the words of the man named Charlie in front of her, after all, human nature is complicated. Who knows if the other party is taking advantage of her Chinese complex?
"It's some patriotic wanderers abroad who are trying to buy medical supplies and guns and ammunition!" Charlie first glanced around the living room of Xiao Ju's house with some caution, Xiao Ju Niang had already gone to the kitchen to prepare dinner, Zhuang Zhuang was still tutoring English at Chang's house and did not come back, as for Zhou Wu, he did not come back since he left with Li Guoqiang that day. So at present, there are only four people in the living room: Willy, Chang Qian, Xiaoju and him. Charlie may feel that letting Xiaoju and Chang Qian know is not afraid of leaking the news, which will bring more uncertainties to the trip to Shanghai, so he spoke out in a low voice.
"Medical supplies and ammunition?" Xiao Ju subconsciously covered her mouth and asked in surprise.
"Yes! Since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, our organization has been collecting donations from all over the world, and then using the money raised to buy medical supplies and guns and ammunition to be transported to China to support those who fought against the Japanese army on the battlefield in China. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, we hope to see a strong and peaceful country where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, so we continue our modest efforts! Charlie's expression was firm, but his tone was indifferent to explain, but in Xiao Ju's opinion, it was more like a kind of self-affirmation.
"I see! Let me think again! I'll answer you tomorrow! Because of Charlie's words, Xiao Ju thought of when she was in the inland rear base area, once she took out the silver dollar in the space and asked Zhou Wu to find someone to buy medicine and equipment urgently needed on the battlefield. Thinking about it now, what Zhou Wu was looking for back then should be a patriotic wanderer like Charlie who was abroad but always tied to the interior, right?
"Good! I'm sure you won't refuse to do your part for your country! Charlie stared at Xiao Ju's eyes and said in a serious tone. Xiao Ju heard this, but she could only smile bitterly secretly, this Charlie is really good at squeezing people, if she refuses, then it will be really difficult for her to gain a foothold in the Chinese circle abroad or in Hong Kong in the future.
Charlie didn't care what Xiao Ju thought, and after saying this, he said goodbye to Xiao Ju. And before leaving, let Xiao Ju if she thinks about it, whether she goes or not, let Chang Qian tell her. Xiaoju had the right to refuse, so she could only agree and watch Willy and Charlie leave with satisfied faces. As for Chang Qian, before leaving, he looked at Xiao Ju with a tangled face and wanted to stop talking, how could Xiao Ju have the heart to pay attention to him, so he went back without saying anything after all.
"Xiaoju, will you promise them?" On the table, she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, but in fact, she has been hiding behind the kitchen door and eavesdropping, which can't blame Xiao Ju Niang for this behavior, in fact, after Yang Liu came to the door last night to beg Xiao Ju to promise her to go to Shanghai for Willy's batch of important supplies, her heart has always been carried, and today she saw Chang Qian with two strange men coming to the door to find Xiao Ju, she was full of uneasiness.
"Mother! It seems that I can't shirk this trip to Shanghai! If I don't go, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in Hong Kong! Xiao Ju said the reason a little helplessly.
"What are you not caring about other people? Why would it be so hard for us to gain a foothold in this place? Xiao Ju Niang was confused by Xiao Ju's words.
"Mother, I can't explain it to you! Anyway, you don't have to worry about me, I'll be back safely! What I don't worry about is you and Zhuangzhuang, during my absence, you and Zhuangzhuang have to go out less, fortunately, Zhuangzhuang is still on winter vacation and doesn't have to go to school. You must know that the law and order in Hong Kong is not good now! There are often people who are inexplicably dead on the streets! Xiao Ju frowned and said with a bitter face.
"Don't worry, I won't go out less if you're not there!" Xiao Ju Niang was very distressed when she saw Xiao Ju's appearance, but she couldn't help, and she couldn't help but have some opinions about the Chang family, if it wasn't for the incident that the Chang family caused when they first came to Hong Kong, that Willie would definitely not know about Xiao Ju's martial arts, so there would be no such thing as today.
"Mother, I'll put the rice noodles that can be eaten for three months in our bedroom! Like Chinese cabbage, white radish, potatoes, eggs, and fruits, I can eat them in baskets, and pile them up in the kitchen and living room! As for meat, you can ask the Filipino maid of the Chang family to bring you some back every day when she goes to buy vegetables, and you can pay her some hardship fees! Xiao Ju began to turn into a nagging aunt, telling them one by one. Xiao Ju naturally couldn't help but worry, all she heard at the police station every day were all kinds of tragedies, either the immigrant was inexplicably killed, or the new immigrant was robbed by someone, losing his property and losing his life......
When Zhuang Zhuang came back from the Chang family and knew that Xiao Ju was going back to Shanghai, he was also unhappy for a while, but after all, he was also a twelve-year-old boy, and he had a certain thought, knowing that his sister decided to agree to Willy for their trip to Shanghai mainly for the sake of this family, so he didn't make any noise, but very intimately reassured Xiao Ju that he would be optimistic about his mother and wait for Xiao Ju to come back in Hong Kong.
Xiao Ju looked at the stronger and more sensible day by day, and felt a kind of comfort in her heart. No matter what the circumstances have since she came to this era, she is still accompanied by two close relatives after all, at least she has not been alone. Until before going to bed, Xiao Ju handed Xiao Ju Niang a small box of silver dollars and five gold bars, and asked Xiao Ju Niang to put it away! After all, this trip to Shanghai, she doesn't know if she can go smoothly, if it is not smooth lĂŹ in the inland delay, the living expenses of Niang and Zhuang must be guaranteed.
After feeling that everything was explained more thoughtfully, Xiao Ju went to bed with peace of mind. You know, she has to go to the police station to ask for leave the next day! Xiao Ju was asleep, but Xiao Ju Niang couldn't sleep, lying beside Xiao Ju and waiting for dawn. (To be continued......)
