father - home

I still entered the hotel through the back door. In the parking lot, I saw the big black Mercedes sedan, so I walked over to have a closer look.When I went out just now, I took a look at the garage and noticed this car. This is the most commonly used car model in government departments, and there are many in the SS.The car had a civilian number plate from the state of Hesse.

Anton had already come to work, and he came out of the duty room when he saw me. "Good evening, Baron!"

"Good evening!" I stood in front of the car, took out the cigarette case, took one and knocked on the lid of the case.

Anton struck a match and lit it for me.He smokes too, but never takes my pack, funny boy. "The owner of this car is very rich, and made war fortune."

Because the government purchases in large quantities, the price of this car is higher than that of ordinary civilian models, and there are not many private purchases.

"What is it for?" I asked.

"I run a garment factory and make military uniforms. It is said that I came to Berlin this time to get an order for my relationship."

"That must be a big order." It was a war fortune.Nowadays, there are many war fortunes, not just this one.

"That's right." Anton nodded seriously, his cynical and cynical expression was very funny, and also a little funny and naive. "Do you have coffee? I just made a pot."

"it is good."

Anton's coffee is also a substitute, but it is brewed much better than others. When I first drank it, I thought it was real coffee.I asked him how he did it, and he said mysteriously that it was a secret.He had fun keeping that secret, and so did I.

"Need to use the car at night?" Anton asked.

"Yeah." I drank my coffee.

Due to tighter and tighter gasoline controls, there are not many taxis left, and there are occasional bombings by British planes, curfews, and road closures. It has long been impossible to hail a taxi at night.After Anton worked the night shift in the garage, he told me that he could use the guest's car at night, as long as he came back within the specified time.I have also used it a few times before I came to Berlin, so I have already had a good idea about the vehicle problem.

"Just that one. The car is new. I've checked it. The gas tank is half full. Is that enough?" Anton took out the car key from the drawer and gave it to me.

"enough."

Every time I use the car, I will give him a ration of gas tickets, which is much more than the amount used.Gasoline tickets are more useful hard currency than cash.

Anton is a bartender like William, he always reads words and emotions, and is warm and considerate to customers. Maybe he is more tactful than William, but I don't think that's false.I already consider him a friend.To him, I wasn't just a guest either.

"No problem?" I put an unopened pack of cigarettes on the table.

Anton glanced at the corner of his eyes, but didn't take it, his smile remained the same, and his sincerity remained the same. "No problem. He told me to have the car washed by 8am tomorrow morning. He won't be using it until then."

I went back to my room and changed into my uniform, just in time.I drove to the hospital, parked the car at the corner of the ward building and the mortuary, got out of the car and didn't leave immediately, leaned on the trunk and took out a cigarette to light it.A figure came from the darkness, it was Ulm.I pinched my cigarette butt, gave him the car keys, walked into the ward without saying a word.

I had everything planned and so far so good, but unexpectedly, the first obstacle I encountered was jade.

Yu turned her face away and looked out of the window, which was covered with a heavy blanket.There was neither a starry sky nor a night scene, so she just stared at me stubbornly and ignored me no more.There was still the imprint of the "No!" she had just drawn with her finger on the sheet.For problems like this, we can't talk, we can only communicate by drawing on the bed sheets and on the table. Now she ignores me, and I feel so depressed that I don't know what to do.

After a while, Yu got up and got out of bed, without looking at me, and walked into the bathroom.

The atmosphere in the ward was very solemn. I paced back and forth irritably, took out the cigarette case, opened it and closed it, and put it back in my pocket.There was the sound of running water in the bathroom, I turned the doorknob lightly, but it was unlocked, I pushed the door open and went in.

Jade was not surprised to see me come in, she was waiting for me and turned on the water tap to the maximum.

I leaned closer to her, didn't stick to her, just put my mouth close to her ear, lowered my voice, and said as calmly as possible: "Tonight is the only chance. No one can pass the Gestapo. It's not easy for Laura. As soon as Schulenburg gets the news tomorrow, he will take you back to the basement, and it will be difficult to save you by then."

The mirror was covered with mist, and I couldn't see Yu's face clearly, I only felt her body tremble.After a while, I heard her say: "Is your news reliable?"

"Very reliable." I didn't tell Jade the source.Jade hated Anders Schultz from the first sight, and I hated it, but I had to deal with him, had to be blackmailed by him, begged for mercy, for Zhao, for Jade, for those I had to protect .

Yu's chest rose and fell violently, she was leaning against the washbasin, I wanted to help her, and raised my hand behind her back, just like that.

Yu reached out to wipe off the water mist on the mirror, and I saw that her tightly pursed lips were very thin and a little purple; "Zhao Ning would rather die than let you take this step, now it's not for me..."

"Not only you, but also the child, you and the child are more important than anything else. Besides," I lifted her shoulder and made her look at me. "I have planned everything. I will be fine if I rescue you."

"Are you sure?"

"Definitely."

She looked at me, looking extremely dependent and weak, leaning gently on my shoulder.

I stroked her back and said slowly: "Don't worry, I have everything planned: in a while, when they change shifts, I will go to the nurse's station to make coffee. I brought real Arabica coffee, the nurse must Very happy. I'll bring a cup to the gentleman at the door and he'll be asleep in 20 minutes after drinking it. Then I'll go talk to the nurse and have coffee while you sneak down the fire stairs and on the next Wait for me in the stairwell on the first floor. I will take the elevator down to find you in front of the nurse."

Yu raised her head, with tears hanging on her eyelashes, she thought about my words carefully. "You pester the nurse to chat. If she doesn't walk out of the nurse's station, she won't be able to see this place. She won't be able to see me walking out of the ward and going down the fire stairs. There are Gestapo guards, and with orders from above, the nurses never pay attention to this place. Then, You take the elevator out in front of the nurse, and after that..."

"The gentleman will wake up after 3 hours of sound sleep, and you will be gone by then."

"Although no one saw you take me away, but the Gestapo fell asleep after drinking your coffee, and then I disappeared. You are still very suspicious. Schulenburg is not stupid."

"Yes, Schulenburg will suspect me, but he has no evidence, not to mention I'm an SS, he can't do anything to me casually."

"No, I'm still worried." Yu shook her head.

I was a little anxious, and unconsciously strengthened my arms, as if holding her tightly could make her believe me. "Listen to me, Yu, I'll be fine, trust me. As long as we don't see each other in the next few days and he can't find you, I'll be fine."

"really?"

"Really, believe me. I'm different from you. He can arrest you casually, but he can't arrest me unless he has solid evidence."

I thought everything out and did have a little bit of a risk, but manageable nonetheless.Schulenburg was a cautious man.He wouldn't do anything casually to Yu, let alone me.Yu is just a foreign student studying abroad, and I have status and background, so he would never dare to detain me rashly.
