The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 459 Send Away
This is the back door of a large mansion.

Before Sheng Dafu got out of the car, he was blindfolded, although Sheng Dafu and his wife had been tested and found to be fine.

But we still need to be cautious.

This will then become a routine and a rule.

In the room, Sheng Dafu met his wife Cheng Qing who was sent there earlier. The couple were also shocked when they met.

At this time, Sheng Dafu finally felt relieved. If Shen Mo really had bad intentions towards him, why would he go to so much trouble?
Next, the husband and wife each recounted their experiences of the day.

When Cheng Qing talked about the experience of being kidnapped and almost being "insulted", he now understood that this was actually a deliberate test.

If I really bit the other person and angered him, and he really used force, would I let him go just because of one sentence?
Afterwards, she was sent food and hot water. How could this be the treatment for a prisoner?

The next day, no one came to interrogate her, but she was given the food and drink she was supposed to have, and even a quilt was brought to her at night.

Taking Cheng Qing away in this way was even a test, and it was obvious that he was taken away before Shen Mo knew where Cheng Qing lived.

What does this mean? The forces behind Shen Mo had already found out Cheng Qing's whereabouts, or in other words, they tracked him and took Cheng Qing away.

But I didn't notice it at all.

This is the difference between amateur and professional.

If the person who kidnapped Cheng Qing was really a traitor spy from No. 76, the consequences would be disastrous.

"You two should take a shower, change your clothes, and have a good sleep. Tomorrow morning, someone will take you on board. Remember, after you get on board, follow the person who brings you to the cabin to rest. You must not leave unless necessary, and do not communicate with people on the ship. Do you understand?" Wan Molin knocked on the door and came in with two sets of clothes, solemnly warning the two.

"Are you Boss Wan?" Sheng Dafu was greatly surprised. He was the head dancer of the Ciro's, so he had naturally met many important figures. Although Wan Molin had been the housekeeper in the Du Mansion for many years, he was also a well-known figure in the Du family.

Even though he rarely appears in public, people like him are the focus of celebrities' attention, so Sheng Dafu naturally knows him.

Wan Molin smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying: "Don't worry, you two can stay here. Someone will bring you food later."

"Thank you." Sheng Dafu was also a smart man. Since the other party did not respond, he naturally did not want to reveal his identity. If he insisted on forcing the other party to admit it, it would be immature. If he sent them both away, he would be responsible.

It would be best if you just pretend you don’t know me.

"Dafu, was that really Wan Molin, Boss Wan?" Cheng Qing was also a little surprised. This Boss Wan was a big shot. Even if the couple wanted to meet him, it was difficult for them to meet him. But now, Boss Wan actually came to give them clothes in person and arranged for them to board the ship to leave Shanghai.

It would be such a great honor if we could tell others about this later.

"Aqing, you just need to know this in your heart, and never mention it to anyone, understand?" Sheng Dafu nodded, but at the same time solemnly reminded his wife.

"Why?" Cheng Qing said, "Da Fu, please don't be ungrateful. This is the man who saved us from suffering."

"I'm not ungrateful, but Boss Wan doesn't want outsiders to know that he helped us leave Shanghai, do you understand?" Sheng Dafu said, "My husband and I left, but if the Japanese and No. 76 knew that Boss Wan was still in Shanghai, wouldn't we be harming Boss Wan? There will be plenty of opportunities to repay the favor in the future, so just keep this favor in mind."

Cheng Qing nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Hurry up and take a shower. You probably won't have a chance to take a shower once you get on the boat," Sheng Dafu urged.

"Do you still need makeup to disguise yourself?"

"Yes, just make yourself look older, no need to be too deliberate." "I was taken away by them, and my underwear is in the box..." Cheng Qing said as she flipped through the clothes prepared for her. She was surprised to find that the underwear was actually hers. It was obvious that someone had helped her get her clothes.

……

Sending Sheng Dafu and Cheng Qing away may seem simple, but nothing that needs to be done behind the scenes is simple.

Without the cooperation of so many people, the social relationships and resources behind them, and the need for confidentiality measures, any mistake or omission in any link may lead to the failure of the entire plan, and may even put oneself in danger.

Those people in No. 76 were all born in the Year of the Dog, and they have a very keen sense of smell. They also understand the Chinese better because, after all, they were once one of them.

Before getting on the boat, Sheng Dafu didn't even ask who Xiao Hei was, but since the other party could connect with Wan Molin, he must have a close relationship with the Qing Gang, which meant he was one of them.

Otherwise, why would he take such a big risk to help me?

Unexpectedly, I just paid a quick attention and found that Xiao Hei was different from others. He never mentioned it to anyone, but he actually saved the lives of my husband and I at this critical moment.

However, none of those people who were as close to him as brothers in normal days were reliable. Of course, he didn't dare to go to them, for he was afraid that he would be sold out as soon as he left.

Only Xiao Hei, a man who is hard to see through, seems trustworthy, although he also goes there at the risk of his life.

If he loses the bet, he will die alone and his wife will still have a chance of survival. If he wins the bet, both of them can survive.

It turned out that he won the bet.

……

In the blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve again.

Last year we spent the holiday at our sister's place. This year, Su Moer is pregnant and has difficulty walking. Her belly is already visible, so we stayed at home. Our sister and Xiao Wu came with us.

There were suddenly more people at home and it became lively.

There were also the old landlord couple, Chiyo who was invited over, and Xiaoyu, seven or eight people in total. This old house had not been so lively for many years.

The Cheng family is about to have a new baby, and it's time for family reunion, but the situation is getting worse and worse, although the concession doesn't seem to have much impact now.

The war has not yet reached here, but the soaring prices and shortages of supplies have already deeply affected the lives of ordinary people.

Except for the rich and powerful, even the middle class has a declining living standard. A meal that usually has five or six dishes now has only three or four, and the amount of oil and fat is also decreasing.

During the Chinese New Year, the quality and grade of food are getting worse every year. In the past, even the poorest families could have a meal of braised pork during the Chinese New Year, but nowadays, it is considered good to have a plate of fried meat on New Year's Eve.

As for the rest, it depends on the fate of each family.

Although the New Year's Eve dinner at Cheng Mo's house has not declined in quality, there is still a difference between eating for four or five people and for seven or eight people. The dishes have not changed much, but there are more mouths to feed.

Moreover, the cost of this table of dishes has increased by at least half compared to last year, and this is calculated in hard currency such as oceans.

If legal currency is used, many families simply cannot afford it.
