Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Zhang Renkang and his friends were sleeping soundly early in the morning, when suddenly there was a rude knock on the door. Wang Fang woke up instantly from the bed and looked out the window vigilantly. At the same time, Zhang Renkang was also awakened by the knock on the door. He looked at Wang Fang and shouted

"Who?"

There was an impatient voice outside the door.

"Open the door quickly, the police are checking the room"

Zhang Renkang and Wang Fang looked at each other. As soon as Wang Fang opened the door, two policemen pushed Wang Fang aside and entered the house to search.

Seeing the two Chinese faces, one of them began to search their luggage, and the other said coldly

"Where are you from?"

"Where's the ID?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and saw that only the two of them came in, and said in a low voice

"Officer, we are businessmen from Southeast Asia, and we are here to discuss business."

Then he calmly took out a roll of Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and stuffed it into someone's hand, saying in a flattering voice:

"Officer, if there is anything, please take care of me and pay more attention to me."

The policeman weighed the Hong Kong dollars in his hand and estimated that there was about one thousand Hong Kong dollars. He stuffed it into his pocket calmly and said in a more polite manner:

"You guys didn't go out tonight?"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Officer, we had a few drinks tonight and haven't been out since we came back at 10 o'clock."

The policeman who was checking the luggage also came over at this time, shook his head at the policeman who was questioning him, then looked at Zhang Renkang and sniffed. There was indeed a smell of alcohol, so he nodded and said

"Well, since you've come all the way here to do business, I'm going to remind you not to wander around today. If you get caught, don't say I didn't warn you."

As they spoke, the two of them walked out. As soon as they left, Wang Fang closed the door and looked back at Zhang Renkang and whispered:

"Where are Engineer Tang and Translator Li?"

Zhang Renkang shook his head and said

"I also gave them a roll of money. It should be fine. All the information has been destroyed. They can't find anything except clothes."

"But why are they suddenly searching the hotel at this time?"

Wang Fang shook his head and said

"I don't know, is there something wrong?"

Wang Fang immediately thought of the reason why Zhang Ting'an and his companion disappeared in the same cabin. He glanced at Zhang Renkang and saw a hint of doubt in his eyes. He whispered

"Could it be that some operation was carried out over there tonight?"

Zhang Renkang shook his head and said

“I don’t know, but it’s obvious that this hotel is no longer habitable.”

"We are lucky this time. If they don't find anything later, we won't be able to explain our identities when they come next time."

The police were very perfunctory in their details. After receiving the money, they were too lazy to continue the interrogation and did not even check the identity documents. Although Zhang Renkang and the others were saved from having to explain, if they were to go through another search later, their identities would inevitably be exposed.

Wang Fang nodded, put his ear to the door and heard that there was no more noise outside, so he opened the door and called Tang Fu and Li Ming from next door to discuss the matter.

Zhang Renkang glanced at the three of them and said

"What I mean is that we should leave at dawn and go to Lion Mountain to seek refuge with Lou Huaijin. The four of us will hide in his factory, and no one will be able to find us there for a while."

Wang Fang said worriedly

"Will Lou Huaijin take the risk to take us in?"

"If he reports us, we won't be able to escape."

Except for Zhang Renkang, the other three naturally distrusted Lou Huaijin. After all, he had escaped from the Forbidden City. If they said that Lou Huaijin had no hatred in his heart, none of them would believe it.

Zhang Renkang said helplessly

"What else can we do? Unless we go directly to the office, this mission will be abandoned halfway. And even if we go to the office, don't forget that we may not be able to get out safely."

"Another thing is that I think the Lou family is still trustworthy. After all, Lou Huaijin doesn't want to offend us to death, unless he really doesn't plan to go back or doesn't want his Lou family's ancestral home and ancestral tomb anymore."

"It would be of no benefit to him to offend us, but taking some risks would be of great benefit to him."

"As a businessman, how should he choose? He won't be confused, right?"

Tang Fu nodded in agreement.

"Yes, another point is that the cooperation with the Hans and Gauls' equipment suppliers tonight is worth the risk. This is a very important opportunity for our country."

"We cannot ignore domestic development because of a small risk, and our industrialization process cannot be delayed because of us."

As soon as Tang Fu finished speaking, Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Yes, now it's just the last step."

"Well, let's go to the Lou's factory as planned. Captain Wang will act alone. Go to the office first to explain the situation and then wait for news outside the Lou's factory in Lion Mountain. I will find a chance to tell you the location of the hotel for the night after I have found out. You should observe the situation outside at night."

"If anything happens to us, you should find a way to contact the office and tell the country, and then follow the instructions."

"If this trip goes well, we will find a way to leave the island by then."

Zhang Renkang took out two rolls of Hong Kong dollars from his pocket, handed them to Wang Fang and said with a smile:

"This is the money that Lou Huaijin sponsored us. This is all that's left. Lao Wang, take it. If anything happens to us, you can find a way to get back."

"Bring a message home when the time comes"

Wang Fang looked at Zhang Renkang with red eyes and said

"Renkang"

Zhang Renkang quickly interrupted him and said with a smile

"Lao Wang, it hasn't come to that point yet. I'm just saying in case the worst happens."

"Based on the current situation, our safety can still be guaranteed. There is no need for Lou Huaijin to go back on his word. It will not do him any good."

"Don't be sentimental"

He looked at Engineer Tang and Translator Li and said with a smile

"Pack your things, we'll leave at daybreak"

After they returned to the room, Zhang Renkang said to Wang Fang

"There is one more thing you need to ask in advance, how are we going to evacuate?"

"It's basically impossible to go through customs. I don't think the port will let anyone back to the mainland. We have to find a way to get out."

Wang Fang nodded and said

"Okay, I'll check with the office."

At this time, in the North District of Hong Kong Island, a dozen Hong Kong police and seven or eight John soldiers began to shoot wildly at an alley, and some people shouted with a loudspeaker:

"People inside, you have been surrounded. Do not resist any longer. Surrender immediately or you will be shot on the spot."

Brother Wang, the contact man who was dragging one leg and leaning against the wall of a residential building, smiled bitterly at a woman next to him.

"I never thought that our Spring Herald Team would actually sacrifice their lives for our country."

The woman was helpless.

"What to do with things?"

"How do we send them away now?"

Brother Wang angrily hammered the wall and said

"Damn it, this old bastard, if it weren't for discipline, I would have broken his neck right away. He really values ​​money over his life."

Just now, Brother Wang and this woman sneaked into Yang Shuang's relative's house. Only his cousin's family was awakened by the sudden intrusion of Brother Wang and the team members. Looking at the glaring muzzles of guns, the family was very tactful and shut up and shrank in bed, not daring to make a sound. Due to discipline requirements, the two of them did not embarrass the family. After finding the film in the ventilation fan, they quickly retreated.

The surprise was that as soon as they went out, they ran into the Hong Kong police and John Soldier who also came to search. When Yang Shuang's cousin saw the Hong Kong police, he suddenly shouted for help, exposing Wang Ge and his friends who had not yet retreated. They were chased all the way to this alley. Even more unfortunately, Wang Ge was shot in the thigh and completely lost his ability to move.

The woman heard the voices outside persuading them to surrender and said anxiously:

"What should we do now? Come up with a decision quickly."

Brother Wang smiled with relief and said

"I'll cover you for a while, you retreat from the back before they surround us, and let Scythe take the film and leave on his own. Without this thing, the entire Hong Kong Island will be turned upside down."

"Remember, after sending away the sickle, keep silent. We can't have all of our Spring Bird team disappear."

“We still need to continue fighting here.”

"I'm going downstairs to report to the captain first."

"From now on, you will be the fourth harbinger of spring. The file is in XXXXX, and it contains the contact information of the online person. He will wake you up in a few days. Just follow the instructions."
