Chapter 25 The plan is exposed
The black car carrying Lin Wanjing left the Shen Mansion compound and galloped all the way to the port, as long as it entered the hinterland of the port, it was Liu Jin's territory, and the whole plan would be half successful.
Li Lingrui was vigilant all the way, hugging Lin Wanjing, who was asleep on his shoulder until she was almost unconscious, and simulated in his mind how he would maneuver and how to protect Lin Wanjing if his whereabouts were exposed and intercepted by the Japanese. In fact, he had already arranged all the plans, but when he really put the plan into practice, when Lin Wanjing really sat beside him, he felt that this plan was full of loopholes, and he couldn't help but worry and regret it.
There has never been a time when he has been so nervous as he is now, his teeth are clenched until he trembles, fine beads of sweat continue to ooze from his palms, the curtains on both sides are drawn, he can only cast the front windshield of the car to observe the situation on the street, in the dead of night, the street is empty, let alone a car, not even a passerby, but even so, even a passing dog makes his heart tight.
In this way, the road to the port seems to be particularly long, and there is no end to it. He knew very well that tonight's move, if he was targeted, no matter how much he played, it would be in vain, and only by boarding the ship and leaving the post as soon as possible would they be truly safe, so he did not dare to slack off, and went to the agreed place desperately.
Fortunately, there were no words along the way.
The black car entered the hinterland of the port, and the people arranged by Liu Jin were connected, and then drove all the way to the spiral staircase of the boarding ship, which was a bulk ocean liner named in the name of Hengguang Far East Group, which had been loaded with all the goods at the moment and was quietly moored in the ship, like a dormant beast. Liu Jin stood beside the spiral staircase, his eyes staring at the direction of the black car, his eyes were focused, and only when he saw the headlights of the car, his eyes were stinging, and he couldn't help but look at it.
The car stopped in front of him, Li Lingrui opened the car door, carefully took Lin Wanjing out, and handed it to Liu Jin:
"Take her to the cabin first, I'll check the packing list, and I'll come later."
Liu Jin responded and picked up Lin Wanjing to climb the spiral ladder.
The cabin arranged for her was located in an excellent location, adjacent to the warehouse where the valuable cargo was kept, and was easily forbidden by idle people, so it was extra safe and quiet.
Settling her on the bed in the cabin, looking at her sleeping face, Liu Jin's resolute eyes gradually covered with tenderness and love, he couldn't help but raise his hand to caress her slightly reddened cheeks, as if caring for a precious porcelain doll, but his hands couldn't help trembling. He thought of the warmth with her a few hours ago, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
He only felt that his throat was tight, and there was an indescribable sadness in his chest that was spreading rapidly, he attached himself and kissed her lips, it was okay not to do so, touching her lips, he was reluctant to let go, but the deeper the kiss, the more the sadness in his heart could not be ignored, as if he had been punched hard, and held his whole heart tightly in his hand, and that hand was so cold, he shivered all over his body, and his nose was slightly sore. He hurriedly let go of her, picked up her hand, trembled and carefully removed the plain wedding ring on her ring finger, and then quickly took out a folded letter from his arms, stuffed it into her palm and held it tightly, as for the deep kiss on the lips, said:
"Wanjing, you're free."
When the words fell, he only felt two lines of warm liquid sliding down his cheeks, and his heart seemed to be drained, light and weightless, as if he didn't even have a heartbeat, and the silence was as silent as the moonless deep sea.
The scenes of the past are messily interspersed with replays, her laughter, her tears, her tenderness, her anger, her pretty face on horseback in a small dress, she leans on his shoulder and listens to him play the piano and hum softly, she holds his hand and walks on the beach without saying a word, her cheongsam is soaked in blood and curled up in his arms and is unable to breathe......
Everything was finally frozen in the fog where they first met, and she stubbornly tilted her face, and when she heard him say welcome home, her expression was surprised and then dyed with a smile.
This laughter, like a spark in the silent night, ignited the anger that he had been suppressing in his heart, like a fire, and like an endless deep sea, the wind and waves suddenly rose, and instantly evolved into an earth-shaking momentum, it was an astonishing and terrifying impulse, like a beast that rushed out of the cage, to find the people who had hurt her one by one to settle the account, even if she wanted to go down to the abyss of the sea of blood, she did not hesitate.
He did not dare to delay any longer, stood up, took off his fur coat and put it over her, and then resolutely turned and walked away quickly.
After Li Lingrui and the captain confirmed the route and warehouse receipt, he was about to go to the cabin where Lin Wanjing was to meet the two, but he never wanted to meet Liu Jin on the gangway.
The night was too dark, and he was frightened, he didn't pay attention to Liu Jin's clothes, but now he came to his senses, but only to find that he had changed out of the plain clothes he was wearing at the banquet, and at this moment he was standing in the night in plain clothes, as if waiting for him.
Looking at each other, Li Lingrui clearly saw that his eyes were red, and he also read in his gaze firmness and fearlessness, as well as the perseverance that seemed to know that the road ahead was a sea of thorns and fire, and he had no hesitation, but his image looked inexplicably tragic at the moment.
Li Lingrui was stunned, did not arrange for the mountains and seas to come, gritted his teeth, stepped forward to grab Liu Jin's arm, and tried to pull him back to the cabin.
But Liu Jin seemed to be a thousand-pound statue at the moment, and he was unmoved even if he tried his best to pull it.
"You've checked it all out, right?" He heard Liu Jin ask him, "If it's confirmed, let's leave early." I make a way for you. β
"Shut up!" Li Lingrui scolded: "You are not allowed to go anywhere, let me go back to the cabin and stay!" β
"The plan is exposed."
Li Lingrui was stunned when he heard this, and then heard him say again:
"Thousands of calculations, counting the people closest to you. Don't let Wanjing know, she will be sad. β
Li Lingrui locked his eyebrows and went through all the people who might have come into contact with this matter, suddenly gasped, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but curse in a low voice:
"Damn it!"
Liu Jin knew that he had just thought of it, so he didn't continue to break it, and the conversation changed:
"The informant came to report that the Shuai Mansion arranged that the eyeliner guard towers on the coast are all on alert, and the ghost fleet is also gathering off the coast of Luzhou, but don't worry, no matter what, I will also keep you out safely." Liu Jin's voice was low, with unquestionable majesty:
"When I get off the ship, you will have the sailor raise the gangway, and tell the captain not to honk the horn, not to turn on the lights, and to follow the pilot ship at the lowest speed, and he will take you away from the surveillance range of all the watchtowers, and if nothing else, you will be able to bypass the blockade of the ghost fleet and reach the mouth of the Xijiang River this morning." If they are lucky, they will rush out under the cover of the morning fog, and when they get to the high seas, they will find an opportunity to wash off the livery and change the flag, and it will not be so easy for them to find it. β
"Let's go!"
In the face of Li Lingrui's persistence, Liu Jin was a little helpless, hesitated for a long time, raised his hand to cover his hand that was holding his arm tightly, and patted it vigorously:
"I'm here to protect you. If in the futureβ" He paused and sighed:
"If I see peace in the world in the future, I will personally pick her up and ask her for forgiveness."
As he was talking, he heard the sound of a dispute in the distance, and there were faint sporadic gunshots, Liu Jin's expression was grim, knowing that it should be Ye Qiuluo's people chasing after him.
Finally, the time has come to say goodbye.
He raised his hand and patted Li Lingrui's shoulder vigorously:
"Do as I say, and set off at once."
After saying that, he stepped onto the gangway.
"Young marshal!" Li Lingrui shouted at him, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice:
"Take care. There will be a period later. β
When Liu Jin heard this, he paused, but did not respond to him, but walked towards the shore in greater steps, and soon melted into the confused night.
Li Lingrui's palm slapped heavily on the railing, full of remorse and unwillingness, but he clearly knew that now was not the time for remorse. Just one step away, he can't let all this effort and sacrifice go to waste!
Thinking like this, he walked quickly to the bridge.
After a while, the roar of the engine sounded in the night, according to Liu Jin's instructions, do not sound the horn, do not turn on the lights, and operate at the lowest power. After receiving the signal, a small boat moored on the sea not far in front of the ship turned on its lights and signaled to the cruise ship to lead the way, and the huge cruise ship followed it, slowly leaving the berth and drifting towards the harbor.
