On the ship, Zhang Tianhao, who had rested for four hours, slowly opened his eyes, and his gaze became much clearer.

"That's it!"

He stood up, went to the late-night snack that had been prepared beforehand, and started eating.

This could be considered his breakfast. He ate a little something and then replaced the guards. He then started rowing and quickly headed downstream.

This is nothing compared to the speed of the guards just now.

"Tianhao, aren't you tired of doing this?"

At this moment, He Qiao'er walked to his side, sat down gently, and then carefully asked a question.

“I’m tired, but if we don’t move faster, we’ll be in more trouble. You should know that you might be able to protect me when we’re in Chongqing, but once I leave, my whereabouts will be exposed immediately.”

"Tell me, if I take the five of you with me, won't there be any danger on the road? Isn't safety the biggest concern? If I can't protect you, then what's the point?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know I would think that way. I misspoke."

"It's not that you're wrong, it's that I didn't handle things well on my end. We're still moving too fast. It's been almost a dozen hours, but we've only just arrived in Huangshi. If we could have been faster, that would have been better."

"I'm sorry, we've dragged you down."

"No need to apologize, we're family, there's no such thing as being a burden, let's get ready to move on!"

"Of course, if you're in the mood, could you sing me a song?"

"Is this a good idea? After all, this is Japanese territory. Isn't it going a bit too far?"

"fine!"

Upon hearing this, He Qiao'er was immediately delighted and began to drink.

The clear, melodious voice echoed in the air, which improved his mood considerably, and his anxious heart gradually calmed down.

Time passed little by little.

……

"Zhang Tianhao has already left Chongqing, and he didn't even leave by plane. As for how he left, whether by boat or by land, you don't know either."

"Yes, we don't know either, but we can send people to investigate and see which route they took. Now, all the intersections and the river surface are blocked off. Check every boat coming down from upstream, understand?"

"Hi!"

"Also, keep a close watch on all entrances and exits. As soon as Zhang Tianhao enters our territory, immediately send people to keep an eye on him, then kill him or surround and annihilate him. We must not let him go. Such a person is too much of a threat to the empire."

"Hi!"

"By the way, this news came from Chongqing. It seems that Chongqing is two-faced."

“Maybe!”

……

The next day, when Director Qi sat in his office, he watched his secretary report on his work, but he didn't really pay attention to listening.

"By the way, was there any news about Zhang Tianhao last night?"

"No, we found out. He drove a truck to the dock and we saw him drive the truck to the east side of the dock. As for whether he left by car or by boat, we don't know."

"Didn't you find out where his truck went?"

"No, the truck is missing. We sent people to search along the road, but we couldn't find it. It's very likely that they pushed the truck into the river and left by boat. After all, it's not suitable for trucks to travel further east."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes!"

"So that means he left by boat, or he went to Jiangbei and then traveled by land?" "Yes!"

Do you think it's more likely he left by boat or by land?

"If I were Zhang Tianhao, I would most likely choose the water route. Although the water route is also quite dangerous, it is much safer than the land route, and I can conserve a lot of energy to deal with unexpected situations."

"Moreover, the waterway from Chongqing to Wuhan takes a maximum of 24 hours, but that's for passenger ships. If it's a fishing boat, it could take even longer, and three or four days is quite normal."

"But I believe Mr. Zhang wouldn't be that foolish; he must have some skilled hands."

"Right!"

They never expected that Zhang Tianhao rowed so fast that he reached Wuhan in twelve hours and Huangshi by dawn.

"I bet the Japanese devils are blocking his way right now, aren't they?"

"That's very likely, after all, he has traveled by land before, but that would be very dangerous."

"That's right, how could the Japanese not want compensation? How could he forget something that happened in just one county? Those were two regiments of Japanese soldiers, almost all of whom were poisoned by him. Is that something a human could do?"

There was nothing they could do; the results of the investigations by the Japanese, the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Military Intelligence Agency were something they could never have imagined.

Zhang Tianhao alone poisoned nearly two regiments of Japanese soldiers; otherwise, the Japanese wouldn't hate him so much.

One person is an army, and an army of two divisions, or even more divisions. You can imagine how terrifying Zhang Tianhao is all by himself.

The message that arrived included information that 27 warships, ranging from battleships to gunboats, had been badly damaged.

The number of aircraft has exceeded 87 according to records, and there are many more that have not been reported.

It's worth noting that the airports in northern Jiangsu had the most Japanese planes, numbering no more than 80, which is quite an exaggerated figure.

As for the others, there were many more. The number of Japanese soldiers who died at his hands alone amounted to several divisions. Just thinking about this gave Director Qi a headache.

"This is a sharp sword. If used well, it will be the enemy's nightmare. If used poorly, it will be a double-edged sword and may hurt yourself."

He tapped the table lightly, somewhat helplessly.

However, the people below investigated, but still couldn't find out how Zhang Tianhao left Chongqing. If he traveled by land, he hadn't left Chongqing's defense zone. If he had left the defense zone, they would have received the news long ago.

Unfortunately not.

"No, this guy took the waterway."

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, and sighed rather helplessly. Then he put down his pen, went to the map, tapped it lightly, and his smile deepened.

"Good lad, you're ruthless. Crossing the Three Gorges is definitely the fastest way, but can you really do it?"

He gave a wry smile and then ignored the matter, since someone else was handling these things for him.

"report!"

"Come in."

Then a guard walked in, took out a document and placed it on his desk, saying seriously, "Officer, this is all the information we have on Mr. Zhang's whereabouts after he went home yesterday noon."

Director Qi took a look and saw that it said they went to the He family and then headed out of the city. It was supposed to take an hour, but it seemed to have been delayed for a while, and they didn't arrive at the dock until 1:30.

"Have you checked where he went in between?"

"We checked, but no one knows anything. All we know is that he turned into a small alley and then disappeared. He didn't reappear until he was at the dock."

"understood."

He waved his hand to dismiss his secretary before sitting down to focus on the documents. (End of Chapter)
