Chapter 369: Is it impossible to become an explosive?
Except for the accompanying escorts, I am afraid that no one would guess that Hu Biao would do something to the little devil warship moored on the Huangpu River. Returning to the French Concession before dawn, Hu Biao didn't even alarm Nina, and lay down again as if nothing happened.
Although when he went downstairs and returned, Ivan, who lived downstairs, also heard the movement, but he still didn't ask about anything. The more he came into contact with Hu Biao, the more Ivan felt Hu Biao's mystery, and knew that some things were smarter to pretend to be confused.
At least for now, as the president of the Revival Society, Ivan has re-established himself as a noble count. Before getting acquainted with Hu Biao, he was just the down-and-out earl of the loser in the eyes of many people, and no one took him seriously at all.
With money, it is natural that people will follow, and the prestige will naturally increase. Walking in the concession at the moment, no one dares to ignore the power of Ivan, the lame earl, knowing that Ivan has risen again and become an upstart in the French Concession.
Compared to others who want to become a nobleman, it still takes a lot of hard work, and Ivan himself has the status of an earl, even if many people don't recognize it. But for the other refugees who fled to Tsarist Russia, they all knew that Ivan was indeed a count before he fled.
If even they don't recognize Ivan's status as an earl, how can they expect others to respect them as exiles?
At present, many of them dare not return to the Soviet Union, even if the infighting between them has never stopped. But when it comes to the issue of refugee status in Tsarist Russia, they are still very united. The Russian nobles who fled naturally did not have Ivan as an earl.
Everyone who returned to the small western-style building to rest again knew that they would be ready to leave after dawn. In addition to the left-behind personnel selected by Hu Biao, only Tian Tiezhu, who is still in Shanghai, is the team members who protect Hu Biao.
Even Xu Sandao, who returned to Shanghai with Hu Biao earlier, left the city overnight after the operation last night. Now the large unit of the special service company is resting in a temporary camp outside the city, waiting for Hu Biao's return and order.
As the biological clock woke up Hu Biao who was sleeping on time, looking at the stunner in his arms, Hu Biao also knew this farewell, but he was afraid that he didn't know when he would have the opportunity to come back. Compared with Lin Yashi, who was by her side, Nina's treatment was still worse.
After taking the watch placed on the bedside table and looking at it twice, Hu Biao felt that he should have a morning exercise before leaving. Although he believed that Nina would not dare to betray him, he also knew that if he was left in the cold for too long, Nina would not be able to stand it.
"Treat you one more time! I hope you don't do anything that disappoints me! β
Hu Biao, who was muttering in his heart, held the fullness that he loved again, and after kneading it, Nina, who was still resting, also began to pant a little. Seeing Nina who refused to open his eyes, Hu Biao began to change positions again.
When Nina opened her big watery eyes, Hu Biao also smiled evilly and said, "It's dawn, it's time for us to get up in the morning and exercise!" β
"My dear! Do people still want to sleep? β
"It's okay! At the end of the morning workout, you can sleep until you wake up. Now, you have to work out with me! β
"Badass!"
In Nina's murmuring, Hu Biao turned over, and in the early morning bedroom, there was a red-faced voice again. Nina, who finally recovered some of her spirits, finally rolled her eyes helplessly and fell asleep.
On the other hand, after the outbreak, Hu Biao still felt refreshed, gave Nina, who was paralyzed, a good morning kiss, and got up again to wash. When Hu Biao came down from upstairs, Tian Tiezhu also happened to make breakfast.
Originally, according to Hu Biao's intentions, Nina asked Nina to hire a nanny or housekeeper, but Ivan felt that it was not very convenient. Regarding the matter of the Revival Society, Ivan felt that he would recruit a stranger, and he did not dare to guarantee whether the other party would be a spy sent by someone.
In fact, whether it is Nina or Ivan, cooking and feeding themselves is not a problem. Only when Hu Biao occasionally came to live, either Nina got up early to prepare breakfast, or Hu Biao's subordinates made breakfast, and rarely went out to buy.
Looking at Hu Biao who came down from upstairs, Ivan who was sitting at the dining table frowned and said, "What's the matter with that girl?" I know you're leaving today, why don't you get up and make you breakfast. Hu, don't spoil her too much! β
"It's okay! Actually, for me, I hate the atmosphere of separation. She had a hard time last night, so let her get some rest. I may be back soon. If you have something, remember to have someone send me a telegram. β
"Okay! But I still have to remind you to be careful when you go outside. Nina is different from other Tsarist girls, she is a bit dead-eyed. No matter what you do to her in the future, I at least hope you return safely. β
"Thank you!"
If you see Hu Biao for the first time, Ivan, as a father, is still a little against his daughter's choice. After getting along with each other during this time, Ivan has recognized Hu Biao and feels that his daughter's vision is indeed very good.
Ignoring their opposition, in order to raise medical expenses for his brother, he resolutely went to that kind of hotel. And for the first time, I picked someone like Hu Biao. said she was stupid, but I have to admit that her luck is indeed very good.
In the process of eating breakfast with Ivan, Hu Biao also explained something to him. After looking at the time, he said, "The affairs of the business house and the Revival Society, you usually worry more about it." If you have something, you can find Erxi to handle it for you.
If it's something you can't solve, let Erxi send me a telegram. On the concession side, I still have some connections. Don't take the initiative to commit crimes, but you can't let others bully. You should be able to understand what I mean, right? β
"Understood! It's just that I hope that you can start the selection of core players as soon as possible. You know, many of my old subordinates who joined the Revival Society actually came for the qualifications of core team members. They all need money! β
"As long as they can pass my assessment, money is not an issue! When I arrange it outside, I'll let Erxi inform you. I just hope that when the time comes, you won't find it too difficult to test my loyalty! β
"Now that they've made their choice, they should understand that the entrance fee isn't so easy to get!"
Joining Hu Biao's team to become a mercenary is not an unacceptable thing for many young Tsarist Russians with military literacy. In fact, they are only good at these things, and they don't know anything about other jobs.
Although the risks of being a mercenary are high, the corresponding rewards are not low. Nowadays, many Russian refugees living in the concession either join the Concession's Universal Guardian Merchant Group, or they can only wander around the concession every day to find something to do to make ends meet.
When leaving the small western-style building, looking at Nina, who still hadn't gone downstairs, got into the car that drove yesterday, Hu Biao and his party left quickly. On the way back to the public concession, Hu Biao looked at the time on his watch and said, "Pillar, hurry up a little!" β
"Yes, Captain!"
Knowing that Hu Biao plans to leave Shanghai today, Brooke should also come to see him off. But for Hu Biao, he hopes to return to the villa in the public concession as soon as possible, and then stay in the villa to listen to the impending explosion.
As the car arrived at the villa smoothly, looking at Hu Biao, who had not returned overnight, Lin Yashi, who had also packed her luggage after breakfast, also stepped forward with a smile on her face and said, "You're back!" Everything is packed! β
"Hmmm! Great work! Hasn't Brooke come over yet? β
"Nope! Would you like to give him a call? β
"Okay! Then give him a call, I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first! β
"Good!"
After a brief chat with Hu Biao, Lin Yashi didn't ask Hu Biao where he went last night. Personally dialed Brooke's phone, and Brooke, who had just gotten up, quickly said that he would come over immediately and ask them to wait a while.
When Hu Biao changed into a relatively inconspicuous dress and walked downstairs, Brooke, who happened to see him off, was also surprised: "Hu, why are you wearing such clothes?" Have you really decided to go out of the city separately from Lin? β
"That's right! I don't want too many eyes on me for a short time. I'll have the guards go out of town with you later. All you need to do is send her outside the city, and I'll be waiting outside the city. You should know that she's in the spotlight right now! β
"That's right! Lately, those in the church have seen Lin as an angel. In fact, there are indeed many people in private who secretly ask me who Lin's fiancΓ© is. You don't look like this! β
"It's okay! When the time is right, I'll stand up and shelter her. But right now, I still want to see who dares to fight Xiaoya's idea. Some people have to be taught a profound lesson! β
"Don't worry! When I came out this time, I specially told my uncle and asked him to send eight elites with the car. Even those dwarf gongs don't want to move the forest. It's just a matter of the company in the future, what should you do if you and Lin are not there? β
"Until we get a new order, we just need to keep it as it is. What you have to do is to manage those compradors well and don't let them embezzle our money. There are follow-up orders, and I don't have time to come back, so I will let Xiaoya come back. β
"Good! Then we'll be in touch on the radio when we get there! β
If you live in the concession, you can contact you by phone at any time, but if you are outside, you can only contact you by radio. In order to keep in touch with Hu Biao at any time, Brooke also specially installed a high-power radio station in the villa where he lived.
Once he receives an order from Hu Biao, he will immediately start purchasing. For Brooke, every time he does business with Hu Biao, he can make a lot of money, and at the same time become a guest of other foreign businessmen.
Who called Brooke to have the purchase orders that foreign merchants need? Even if it is for Hu Biao's purchase, the money that can be traded is also paid by Brooke. When Hu Biao picks up the goods, the corresponding commission will be charged according to the rules.
While the three of them were chatting, on the Huangpu River, which had begun to be busy and lively again, many Japanese soldiers who had just returned from the city to warships were still preparing to set sail as usual and patrol the mouth of the Huangpu River or its surroundings.
This kind of patrol is more often a demonstration of the existence of their fleet. To the surprise of countless people, not long after the little devil warships were activated, a series of explosions soon came from these warships.
Some ships sailing on the river heard the explosion sound from the little devil warship, and most of them were dumbfounded: "The little devil's warship, is it possible that it is not an explosive furnace?" β
Speculation is speculation, but many passing ships know that they should leave quickly at this time. If you wait for the little devil to react, I'm afraid that if they want to leave again, they will inevitably accept the little devil's investigation!
