Lost and Spy

Hume was an honest man.

Whether it is Americans or Japanese, whoever occupies Manila has nothing to do with him.

He just wants to live a good life with his family.

The Americans come, and he pledges his allegiance to the Americans.

When the Japanese came, the object of his allegiance naturally became the Japanese.

To live is better than anything else.

As for colonies, freedom and the like, in Hume's view, they are too far away from themselves.

It's just that what worries me is that his son has joined some kind of organization.

That is against the Japanese.

That is the whole family will suffer!

Hume tried his best to persuade his son countless times, but Russ couldn't listen to his words at all.

How come.

Hume returned home with a sigh.

But as soon as I got home, I found a strange young man waiting for me.

"He said he was a friend of Ruth's." Hume's wife whispered.

Son's friend?
Don't you belong to some resistance organization?
"Are you Ruth's friend?" Hume asked cautiously.

Xiao Zhong nodded with a smile.

"Russ hasn't been home for a few days, where is he now?" Hume asked quickly.

"Go out and talk."

Xiao Zhong stood up, without taking a second look, he went straight out.

……

"You work in Warehouse No. [-]?"

Xiao Zhong lit a cigarette and asked unhurriedly.

Hume nodded.

Xiaozhong took out a few photos and handed them over.

"This is?"

Hume took it and only glanced at it, his expression changed drastically.

In the photo is his own son.

It's just that the son in the photo was tied up, and scars could even be seen on his face.

Hume has only one son. Seeing his son like this, Hume was terrified: "What do you want to do, what do you want me to do?"

"As long as you do what we tell you, your son will be safe. Come with me."

Hume numbly followed behind him and got into a car.

I absolutely can't let my son get hurt a little bit.

"There's a bag at the back." Xiao Zhong said lightly, "That's for you."

Hume carefully opened the bag.

Inside, are three time bombs.

"I'll teach you how to use it." Xiaozhong didn't look back: "You put them in the warehouse."

Hume understood in an instant.

The other party is going to blow up the No. [-] warehouse!
"No, no!" Hume's face was pale, and he kept shaking his head: "This will cause my whole family to be killed by the Japanese. No, no."

"No." Xiaozhong smiled: "Put the bomb, you leave, and then, I will arrange for you and your family to escape from Manila together, and you will come back after the Japanese are defeated.

Hume, you have no choice, promise me, or, watch your son die. "

Seeing that Hume has not agreed, Xiaozhong said lightly: "You can leave now, I will never stop you. Tomorrow morning, Ruth's body will appear at your door."

Hume sat there blankly without saying a word.

Xiaozhong didn't say much, and waited for him very calmly.

After a long time, Hume opened the car door and really left.

However, when he left, he carried the bag Xiao Zhong gave him.

……

Early in the morning, Hume got up, just like every day in the past.

His wife, without thinking too much about it, prepared breakfast for her husband as usual.

Hume thought about it for a long time last night.

No matter what, we must save our son.

Even if you give your life for it.

After breakfast, he picked up the bag: "Get ready, we may go back to another city to live for a few days."

His wife was startled, and before he could ask, Hume had already left home.

……

"Mr. Hume."

Takei, the director of Warehouse No. [-], smiled when he saw Hume: "You always come so early."

He is the Japanese who appreciates Hume the most.

For the power system of the entire No. [-] warehouse, it is enough for Hume to be here alone.

He must make good use of Hume.

"Ah, yes, Your Excellency Takei." Hume said respectfully, "Yesterday, the circuit in Warehouse No. [-] was not repaired. I came earlier so that Warehouse No. [-] can operate normally."

"Don't work too hard, Mr. Hume." Takei said with a smile on his face, "If everyone is like you, then I can worry less."

"Ah, by the way, Your Excellency Takei." Hume seemed to suddenly think of something: "The wiring in the No. [-] warehouse was built by the Americans, it is too old, and I need to completely replace it.

It is too troublesome to check every time it comes in and out. I am afraid that it will not be replaced today. "

Takei must have understood: "I'll call warehouse No. [-] in a moment, you can come in and out as you like today."

As he spoke, he patted Hume on the shoulder: "Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Hume."

……

Hume never thought that he would be so calm.

Blow up the munitions warehouse!
But for the sake of his son, he had to force himself to do so.

All morning, he worked conscientiously.

When he saw that he was eating lunch, the Japanese who was assisting him reminded him.

"Ah, I bring my own food."

Hume opened the lunch box: "I'll eat here, hurry up later."

The Japanese also knew that Hume was a hard-working person, and they had no doubts.

As soon as the Japanese left, Hume's heart suddenly started beating wildly.

When he came in for the second time, he finally brought three bombs in quietly.

He is too familiar with everything here.

Once the No. [-] warehouse explodes, it will quickly detonate the warehouses next to it.

At that time, the entire No. [-] warehouse will be plunged into explosions and flames!
And all of this was done by himself.

He carefully placed the three bombs one by one.

After pressing the timing detonator, his heart relaxed a little.

……

"Mr. Hume, where are you going?"

"Ah, some accessories are not the right model, I'll go look for them."

"Okay, let's get those little jobs done first."

At this time, Hume's only thought was to leave here as soon as possible.

Here, it will soon become a nightmare.

Son, there is only so much Dad can do for you.

……

The car is already waiting outside.

Hume looked to both sides, quickly opened the door, and got into the car.

Xiao Zhong started the car: "Okay?"

"Okay, put everything away."

Hume said cautiously.

Xiao Zhong drove the car a long way, stopped, and took out a cigarette: "Smoking?"

Hume numbly shook his head.

"just wait."

Xiao Zhong said lightly: "When I hear the explosion, everything will be over."

"Where's my son?" Hume asked bravely.

"What I promised you, I will definitely do it." Xiaozhong smiled: "You and your family will be free, and you will stay away from here, and you will never be threatened again!"
