Chapter 333: The Ship Transaction Is as Cunning as a Fox
It's so good to die, Chen Mu never thought that he had already taken advantage of the darkness to walk for a while, and it was a good time to smuggle through the port, but he was intercepted by the French iron ship!
Although the Pu family has changed to a big boat, it is only relatively speaking, a sail-powered fishing boat, and if he wants to escape from the iron-hulled ship, it is simply a fool's dream.
Since the other party has played the banner, Chen Mu can only lean forward.
Before he got close to the iron-hulled ship, Chen Mu had already started to have a headache.
Because it was bright at this time, Chen Mu saw the familiar figure on the deck, wasn't it Isabella!
People often say that the road is narrow, and this sea is wide enough, how can you still meet it, is this really a bad fate?
But Isabella doesn't seem to be surprised.
After the battle of Guangzhou, my father had to make concessions, and the French died down, and even the business could not continue, so many people chose to come to Hong Kong, discussed with the English, and the focus of business began to shift to Hong Kong Island.
After FranΓ§ois's death, Trio had no more soldiers to use, and he had to sit in the city of Guangzhou, so he had to let Isabella come out and move around.
Isabella is a French socialite, and Hong Kong is the territory of the English, although Britain and France have a century-old feud, but in the end it is an ally overseas, plus Isabella's means of communication, I believe that they will soon be able to recover their vitality.
This kind of thing can't be too high-profile, after all, Guangzhou City has blocked the port, and their ship has to go to sea, and they have to be sneaky, so they chose such a point in time.
When I got to sea, I was going to take a break for a while, but who would have thought that a fishing boat would follow behind me!
The captain of the ship knew the recent situation in Guangzhou City, and the fishing boat must have been banned from going to sea, so he took the opportunity to extort money, so he raised the flag and stopped the fishing boat.
It was also a surprise to call Isabella out, because there was a big lion on this fishing boat!
No one else knows the origin of this lion, but she Isabella knows it well!
Chen Mu forced the French into a desperate situation several times, it is said that Isabella should hate Chen Mu to the core, but after the real meeting, Isabella did not let people arrest him, or shot Chen Mu on the spot, but greeted him calmly.
"It's you, and the world is so small?"
Chen Mu also shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that the world is too small, it's that you and I have an unfinished fate." β
Isabella smiled and said: "Yes, fate is indeed unfinished, you still fell into my hands in the end, this is God bless!" β
As soon as these words fell, the sailors raised their guns one after another.
The father and son of the Pu family turned pale, the big lion bowed down, gurgling in his throat, and completely entered the state of hunting!
Isabella walked to the side of the boat and asked Chen Mu condescendingly, "Are you going to Hong Kong?" β
Chen Mu looked at the direction of the iron-hulled bow and said with a smile: "Aren't you the same, how about it, do you want to take me over by the way?" β
Chen Mu knew that Isabella couldn't let go of herself, it was better to be single, anyway, she still had hole cards in her hand, and she wasn't afraid that Isabella would be rough with her.
Isabella was not verbose, let people put down the springboard, and let Chen Mu and the big lion get on the boat.
"The weapon on my body is unloaded first." Isabella's tone was very flat, in her opinion, Chen Mu was already a turtle in the urn, and she couldn't run away.
However, Chen Mu shook his head and said, "I think it's better for your people to put down their weapons......"
Isabella was also laughed at angrily: "Are you crazy? β
Chen Mu pointed behind him, and Isabella looked over, but saw that the big lion was leaning against the side of the ship, like a full hard bow, ready to shoot at any time.
"Now, it's very sensitive to hostility, and you should know that if your people show a hostile posture, I'm afraid even I won't be able to control it......"
Isabella was also annoyed: "Shoot me all and kill this lion!" β
Chen Mu was also anxious, and hurriedly blocked in front of the big lion, frowning and saying to Isabella, "Are you serious?" Is this necessary? β
Isabella smiled triumphantly, "If you don't dodge, I'll kill you first." β
Chen Mu looked directly into Isabella's eyes, looked at it for a long time, took a step forward, and said to her: "You won't do this, otherwise why let me get on the boat, it's more convenient to kill me directly, isn't it?" β
Isabella pulled out the pistol on her waist, pressed against Chen Mu's forehead, and pulled the hammer up with a click!
"You think I wouldn't dare?"
Chen Mu shook his head: "It's not that I don't dare, but I don't want to." β
"I don't want to? Give me a reason not to kill you! β
Chen Mu stood with his hands in his hands, calmly, and said to Isabella: "I originally had a deal to discuss with you, otherwise why do you think I got on the boat so simply?" β
"Deal?"
"Yes, the deal. Don't forget, our friendship began with a deal, and now that it's my turn to propose to you, are you afraid? β
Isabella stared at Chen Mu, but finally withdrew her pistol and waved her hand behind her, and the sailors also put away their weapons.
"Say it."
Chen Mu glanced at it, lowered his voice and said, "You take me to Hong Kong, and I will let your father stay in Guangzhou City." β
"It's as simple as that? What is this deal? Isabella was also a little stunned, as if she couldn't understand what Chen Mu meant.
Chen Mu smiled indifferently and said: "Yes, it's that simple, let me put it another way, if you want to be unfavorable to me now, then I'm sorry, your father will not be able to stay in Guangzhou City." β
Isabella laughed as if she had heard a big joke, and it took a long time before she wiped her tears and said to Chen Mu.
"Where do you have the courage to say such a thing? Have you drunk too much seawater and your brain is crazy? β
Chen Mu didn't say much, took out a banknote from his arms and handed it to Isabella.
Although this banknote was soaked and a little crumpled, it was still well preserved, and it was also a loss for Chen Mu to keep an eye on it, and at that time, a sample of counterfeit banknotes from various countries was left.
Isabella looked at the banknote and was even more confused.
She raised her head and looked at Chen Mu, confused, but Chen Mu was full of confidence and said to her, "You take a closer look." β
Isabella became suspicious, and looked down again, but her eyes gradually lit up!
"This ...... It's fake! β
Chen Mu nodded: "The eldest lady seems to have good eyesight." β
"What the hell are you trying to do!" Isabella finally realized a hint of crisis.
"Someone asked a group of Japanese to assassinate me earlier, you must know about this, right?"
"It's also crooked, I tracked down these Japanese, I didn't expect them to make a batch of counterfeit banknotes, you also saw it, this is enough to fake the real thing, is the quantity...... Hehe......"
Chen Mu smiled, leaned forward, and his eyes became sharp.
"Let me tell you this, if my people throw out all these counterfeit banknotes, your Henry Port Bank will become worthless overnight, and your old father can still sit in the city of Guangzhou, and my head will be cut off for you to sit on as a stool!"
Isabella squeezed the counterfeit bill tightly and stared at Chen Mu through gritted teeth: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child, so easy to deceive!" β
Chen Mu relaxed his body and stretched: "Anyway, I have avenged my revenge now, I don't have to worry about it, if you don't believe it, kill me and throw me into the sea, and see what the consequences will be in a few days?" β
"I'll tell you honestly, someone in Hong Kong has picked me up, if you don't see me coming to Hong Kong, it's a big deal, in addition to your family, the counterfeit money of other ghosts, I also fill the house, and when the time comes, all of them will be thrown out, not to mention you, other ghosts will also go bankrupt!"
Isabella gritted her teeth and said, "You killed FranΓ§ois and almost ruined us, and now you want me to help you smuggle you to Hong Kong, isn't it a bit naΓ―ve?" β
Chen Mu said with a smile: "If it weren't for FranΓ§ois, you wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation, he is a troublemaker, and he thinks about marrying your old father's daughter all day long, thinking about sitting in your old father's position, thinking about replacing him, I killed him not only to take revenge, but also to remove the great trouble for you, shouldn't you thank me?" β
Chen Mu and Isabella don't know each other, and they got along in this way before, it seems that they are competing to see who is more shameless, and Chen Mu is "ruthless".
Isabella's expression was a little cloudy, as if she was holding back the anger in her heart, but she finally put the bill away.
"When I get to Hong Kong, I will find someone to verify, if not, you will wait for death!"
With this sentence, it was equivalent to agreeing to the deal, and Chen Mu was also relieved, and shouted at the father and son of the Pu family.
"Fifth uncle, third brother, bother to bring my things up, I'm going to take this big ship!"
The father and son of the Pu family thought that Chen Mu would be in danger, who would have thought that these three words would become such a situation!
After a little surprise, the two of them actually carried the dugong's skin skeleton to the ship.
Seeing this huge skeleton and skin, Isabella was also surprised.
She had even hunted bobcats earlier, and she was most interested in this kind of strange beast, and when she saw this skeleton, her eyes lit up.
"What kind of creature is this?"
Chen Mu sold a pass: "Guess? β
Isabella had already stepped forward, taking a closer look at the skeleton and the skin, "...... Not a seal...... It's not a walrus...... It's weird......"
After looking so closely, Isabella seemed to remember something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she exclaimed in a trembling voice.
"Could it be...... Could it be a dugong?!!! β
Chen Mu smiled and said, "The eldest lady is really well-informed, and she even recognizes this thing, which is really admirable......"
"Really...... Oh my God, what a surprise! Isabella could not hide her surprise, and without saying a word, she commanded the sailors: "Come up quickly!" β
After the things were brought up, Isabella said to Chen Mu, "This thing is your fare." β
Chen Mu shook his head: "With our friendship, it doesn't hurt to give it to you, but this thing has already been booked, if you want it, I'm afraid you have to ......queue up."
"Someone booked? Who? Isabella was also a little surprised and regretful.
Chen Mu hadn't seen Henry Wilson yet, and he didn't even know this person at all, but he knew that Wilson was very powerful, and he was just taking out the "fox fake tiger might" right now.
"It's the British explorer Henry Wilson, I think you should know this man, right?"
Isabella's face suddenly turned ugly: "Impossible, how can you know him!" β
