Chapter 0524 - Making Something Out of Nothing

While Feng Chen was thinking, Xu Jian came back.

"Team leader, those three men are indeed Japanese, and they seem to be following a lady who lives in the room at the far end of the third floor."

"Stalking a lady?" Feng Chen asked.

"Yes, that lady also seems to have noticed that someone is following her, I asked Chen Mo to keep an eye outside now." Xu Jian replied.

"It seems that the situation on board is a little complicated." Feng Chen said.

"Team leader, I feel that lady is not simple, not like ordinary people."

"Keep an eye on both of them, and as long as they're not coming at us, don't meddle." Feng Chen commanded.

"Okay, then I'll go out for a walk." After Xu Jian reported the situation, he turned around and walked out of the box again.

Feng Chen took out a copy of "Thirty-six Strategies" from his luggage, leaned on the bed in the room, and began to flip through it.

The thirty-seventh plan is to create something out of nothing, and if there is something, it shows that it is nothing, and the plan to create something out of nothing contains a profound philosophy, and its original meaning is to discover things or phenomena that people have not noticed, and it does not have a positive or negative color.

It is necessary to deceive the enemy with imaginary images, but it is not to completely deceive them, but to skillfully turn the false into the real and from the false to the real, to cover up the truth with all kinds of imaginary images, to create the enemy's illusion, and to strike at the enemy by surprise.

The key to this plan lies in the fact that there must be changes in the true and the false, the virtual and the real must be combined, and the false must be found by the enemy in the end, and it is difficult to control the enemy.

The commander must seize the opportune moment when the enemy has been deceived, and quickly attack the enemy with the truth, the truth, and the being, that is, with a surprising speed, and be defeated before the enemy has time to clear his mind.

Something out of nothing, this nothingness, refers to falsehood, is false, and this existence, refers to truth, is real.

Something out of nothing, that is, true and false, false and real, true in falsehood, and true in falsehood. The virtual and the real change each other, disrupt the enemy, and cause the enemy to make mistakes in judgment and action.

Feng Chen watched and pondered, and fell asleep in a daze.

I don't know how long I slept, and suddenly a few gentle knocks on the door woke Feng Chen.

Feng Chen sat up from the bed alertly, looked towards the door, the door was still closed, listened carefully, and found that there was no unusual movement outside.

However, when Feng Chen retracted his gaze, he found that there was a letter under the crack in the door.

Feng Chen immediately got up from the bed, walked over and picked up the letter, quickly opened the door of the private room, there was nothing outside, and looked into the corridor, there were several passengers lying there on the railing of the steamer looking at the sea, and there was nothing unusual.

Feng Chen could only turn around and sit down on the edge of the bed, take out the letter from the envelope, and start to read it.

"There are three Japanese agents on board, and they've noticed you."

The words on the letter are very beautiful, like a woman's handwriting, but the content is just such a sentence, and there is no payment.

What do you mean?

Could it be that the woman who was stalked before was one of her own?

Impossible, I haven't heard that someone from the Shanghai District of the Military Command went to Shanghai with the ship, is she a member of the Central Union?

Or, is it really your own person?

Feng Chen wondered, read this sentence on the letter carefully, and analyzed the meaning of this sentence.

Does the sender know who he is?

More unlikely.

Suddenly, Feng Chen understood that the messenger might be single, and deliberately sent this letter to himself, saying that the Japanese spies were eyeing him, and let the three of them deal with the people who were targeting her, and then she could get out of her shell.

Thinking of this, Feng Chen smiled slightly, it seems that the woman who was being followed was indeed very smart, and she actually used such a method to think of her own way out.

She is clearly sowing discord.

While Feng Chen was thinking about it, Xu Jian and Chen Mo came back.

"Team leader, those three live on the second floor, just downstairs for us." Xu Jian pointed down.

"Ahh So we talk, can they hear it downstairs? Feng Chen's eyes glanced at the floor under his feet.

"They may not be able to hear clearly, I'm afraid we go in and out of the room, they know it very well." Chen Mo said.

"Have these three people figured it out?" Feng Chen asked.

"No, but now it's certain that they're Japanese, and they're following the lady who lives in the head room." Xu Jian replied.

"Look at this." Feng Chen handed the letter in his hand to Xu Jian.

Xu Jian took it and looked at it, and handed it to Chen Mo.

"Where did this letter come from?" Xu Jian asked.

"When I was reading a book just now, I fell asleep on the bed, and I heard a gentle knock on the door, and I got up to see that there was no one in the hallway, but I found this letter." Feng Chen said.

"Looks like it was written by the lady who was being followed." Chen Mo said after reading the letter.

"I think so, do you find that lady has a companion?" Feng Chen asked.

"No, it seems like she's alone." Xu Jian said.

"It seems that this lady wrote this letter to ask us to help her, or rather, she wanted to provoke a conflict between us and the three Japanese spies, so that she could get out." Feng Chen said his analysis.

"So what do we do?" Chen Mo asked.

"Let's observe first, let's not act rashly until we find out the identity of that woman." Feng Chen was afraid that this was a trap, a trap set by Nanzao Yunzi for himself.

Seeing that the time was already noon, the three of them simply cleaned up and came to the restaurant on the second floor of the passenger ship for lunch.

The three of them had just sat down at a dining table when they noticed that the three Japanese agents had also come over and sat down at a table not far from Feng Chen.

"Would you like to have some wine at noon?" Feng Chen looked at Xu Jian and Chen Mo's faces and asked.

"Let's have a drink and go to bed in the afternoon." Xu Jian replied.

"Okay, let's have a pound of liquor for the three of us." Feng Chen nodded and beckoned to the waiter.

When the waiter came, Feng Chen casually ordered a few dishes and asked for a bottle of sorghum wine.

"Team leader, did you notice, those three people looked at us from time to time." Xu Jian said in a low voice.

"Ignore them, just don't do anything." Feng Chen knew that after the three people sat down, they had been observing the three of them.

Feng Chen thought that maybe the three people had spotted the lady stuffing a letter into his room, suspecting that he was in league with the woman.

Thinking of this, Feng Chen felt even more that the lady was indeed not simple, wasn't this just something out of nothing?

Soon the food and wine came up, and the three of them ate and drank as if no one was around.

As soon as he finished a glass of wine, Feng Chen found that the lady who was being followed had changed into a purple cheongsam, walked down from the third floor, and walked towards the restaurant.

Feng Chen subconsciously looked at the woman, the two just met their eyes, and he found that the woman smiled very elegantly, with a cunning meaning in her eyes.

"Tell me what exactly this woman does?" Feng Chen picked up the cup and asked softly.

"I can't see it, I don't look like a person from our military command." Chen Mo replied.

"Could it be from Yan'an?" Xu Jian touched the cup with Feng Chen and whispered.

A bolt of lightning flashed through Feng Chen's mind, why didn't he think of it before?

Maybe this woman is really from Yan'an.

Maybe this woman really knows herself, and she told An Zhida about her trip to Hong Kong, could it be that this lady is a member of An Zhida's faction?

Why didn't An Zhida tell himself?

Stunned for a moment, the lady gracefully walked over to an empty table next to Feng Chen and sat down.

Because the position where the woman was sitting was very close to Feng Chen and the three of them, it was difficult for the three of them to continue the topic.

"Young Master Su, how long do we plan to stay in Hong Kong this time?" Xu Jian asked in a loud voice.

"After the business is negotiated, I will take the two of you to have a good time in Hong Kong for a few days, and then we will go back to Shanghai." Feng Chen replied.

The three of them began to ramble nonsense, and quickly dried up a bottle of liquor.

When settling the bill, Feng Chen deliberately settled the lady's account, he wanted to observe how the lady would react when she knew that the account was settled.

Anyway, this passenger ship is going to be at sea for more than a day, so let's pass the boring time.

After settling the account, Feng Chen took Xu Jian and Chen Mo back to his box on the third floor.

"Team leader, do you think that lady will come over and thank us for paying for her meal?" Xu Jian asked.

"Hehe, I analyze, no." Feng Chen smiled.

"Why?" Chen Mo asked.

"Sleep, you'll know when you get to Hong Kong." Feng Chen folded his clothes and lay down on the bed.
