Zhu Xiang was stunned there, thinking, could it be that Shancheng really stood him up?

I should have thought of it. This is possible. Fifty thousand dollars is not a small number. Maybe they don't want to pay the bounty at all.

He shouldn't have accepted the reward. If he had, the people in the mountain city might not have abandoned him after he succeeded.

Of course, it is also possible that I arrived too early and the person who was supposed to pick him up had not arrived yet. I hope that is the case.

While Zhu Xiang was there, lost in thought and feeling uneasy, a dark shadow walked out from behind a big tree not far away.

The black shadow was Li Hui. He had been waiting here for two or three hours according to Yuan Ye's order.

To be on the safe side, he did not stay at the corner of the street according to Yuan Ye's request, but hid behind a big tree not far away.

In case Zhu Xiang was caught after his failure, he would give him away. However, this scared Zhu Xiang enough.

Li Hui saw Zhu Xiang behind the tree. After observing the movements around him and finding nothing unusual, he emerged from behind the tree with confidence and walked towards Zhu Xiang.

He already had a hunch that Zhu Xiang's action was 80% likely to be successful.

Zhu Xiang also saw Li Hui walking towards him. He was so happy that tears almost fell from his eyes, just like a lost child who met his relatives in despair.

He ran over in two steps and when he saw Li Hui, he said in a trembling voice:

"I was scared to death. You finally came."

Li Hui saw Zhu Xiang looked frightened and comforted him:

"Don't be afraid, our commander will never break his promise.

Don't worry, we will send you to the mountain city safely and reunite your family.

Don't think too much about it. Now tell me, how is the operation going? Is Fu Quan'an dead?"

Zhu Xiang felt relieved, and facing Li Hui's expectant gaze, he nodded vigorously and said:

"Fu Quan'an has been killed by me!

I followed the action plan of the officer this morning, and I chopped off Fu Quan'an's neck with an axe."

Although Li Hui had expected this, he was still overjoyed and said excitedly:

"Great, now get out of here and follow me!"

I thought to myself that the captain's carefully planned action had finally succeeded, and he would definitely be very happy when he heard the news tomorrow.

……

The next day, at dawn, Yuan Ye got up early with something on his mind. After washing up, he said hello to Yuan Zhiqian and went out to buy breakfast.

After buying breakfast, Yuan Ye bought a few newspapers from the newspaper office and took a quick look. These newspapers all published statements against the No. 76 threatening letter, severely condemning it and expressing the determination not to surrender.

In particular, the statement of the Damei Daily was written in passionate terms, expressing a fearless attitude towards life and the utmost contempt.

When Yuan Ye looked at the signature, he found that it was indeed written by Han Dang.

He thought that the enemy would be so angry that he would vomit blood. While he admired Han Dang, he was also more worried about his safety.

If he didn't save him, he would be in great danger. He knew Han Dang had a stubborn personality, and if soft tactics didn't work, he would use hard tactics.

But if it really comes to this, I'm afraid it will cause quite a big commotion.

Yuan Ye also thought that the threatening letter from No. 76 did not scare off those many newspapers. Even if Han Dang was rescued by him, No. 76 would not give up and would probably attack other people.

The warning letter I sent to No. 76 will be delivered to No. 76 today, but it may not have any effect. If this is the case, a bloody storm will soon come.

He also asked Gu Yan to make preparations to carry out tit-for-tat revenge at any time. The devils in the Japanese and puppet newspapers and the traitorous writers were the targets of revenge. Perhaps if these people were killed, the enemy would be afraid and would have to stop killing patriotic writers.

When Yuan Ye returned home, his family was already up. After breakfast, Yuan Ye and Yuan Wan sent their parents to the ferry terminal.

Last night, Yuan Ye handed the draft of 50,000 US dollars to Yuan Zhiqian, asking him to withdraw it in Hong Kong for living expenses and business funds, and told him what to do after arriving in Hong Kong.

Yuan Zhiqian knew that his son had borrowed the money from someone, so he carefully placed the bill of exchange inside his underwear. As for what Yuan Ye had asked him to do, it was not a difficult task for him as he had been in business for many years.

At about the same time, Gu Yan's siblings also brought their parents over, and the two families boarded the first ship to Hong Kong. Yuan Ye and Gu Yan's siblings waved goodbye to them reluctantly and watched the ship leave.

Then Gu Yan pulled Yuan Ye aside and apologized to Yuan Ye for Gu Yu not going to Hong Kong and for leaving Yuan Wan behind.

Yuan Ye didn't care and said with a smile:

"They have grown up, have their own ideas and opinions, and want to fight against Japan and serve the country, which is a good thing. Let them do it."

Gu Yan saw that Yuan Ye was very generous. He was worried that Yuan Ye would be unhappy before, but now he felt relieved and said:

“I think so too. I am fighting against Japan and serving my country, so how can I not allow my sister to serve the country as well? So it’s best to respect their choice.

However, it took some time to persuade my parents. In order not to worry them, I did not tell them the real situation. Fortunately, I managed to convince them.

I think the same is true for you.”

Yuan Ye nodded and said:

“Yes, but I want to remind you that although we respect their choice, considering that they have joined the Red Party, this is quite sensitive, so we must keep this matter strictly confidential and never tell anyone.

Also, we must not tell Yuan Wan and Gu Yu our true identities, and we must not let them find out. This is good for everyone.

To them, we are now just a trading company doing business, and of course I also have a public identity as a government employee.”

Gu Yan naturally knew what Yuan Ye meant. After all, the grudge between the two parties was there, and keeping it secret was the only option. Otherwise, the consequences could be imagined.

He nodded and said:

"I see. Actually, that's what I think."

Yuan Ye glanced at Yuan Wan and Gu Yu who were not far away, and then whispered:

"I have something important for you to do."
