Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 160, Feeling Proud (asking for monthly ticket)
January 31, 1959, in the waters near Kagoshima, Kimura.

A seaplane was steadily parked on the sea with less waves. Zhao Mancang appeared at the refueling port in the aircraft cabin and began to refuel the aircraft.

This seaplane was one of Zhao Mancang's means of escape, and it was also the means of transportation he purchased in Great Britain at that time.

Zhao Mancang has purchased a lot of transportation tools such as cars, airplanes, seaplanes, yachts, and ships from Great Britain.

If that bastard who sells arms couldn't get a submarine, Zhao Mancang would definitely buy one.

All these means of transportation are just in case.

After all, he is very powerful, but he is not omnipotent.

In addition to transportation, Zhao Mancang also purchased a lot of petroleum industrial products such as gasoline, aviation kerosene, motor oil, diesel, heavy oil, etc., because these transportation vehicles consume a lot of oil, and he could not help but prepare these.

Weapons, transportation vehicles, etc., were not enough with the tens of thousands of pounds, Canadian dollars and other foreign currencies that Zhao Mancang had in his hands.

If you are not well prepared on the road to escape, no one knows what you will encounter next.

Fortunately, Zhao Mancang did not encounter any accidents on his way from London to Garden City, and the KGB did not seem to catch up with him.

He felt relieved and grateful at that time.

And the airplane flying skills he gained at that time finally came in handy this time.

Well, his seaplane is pretty cool, but it’s impossible for him to fly the plane and refuel it at the same time, right?
Just as Zhao Mancang was refueling the plane, a yacht appeared on the sea in the distance.

At first, Zhao Mancang didn't notice it. Until he filled the plane with fuel and prepared to eat something to fill his stomach, the luxury yacht was only a few kilometers away from the plane.

Soon, the luxury yacht approached Zhao Mancang. One of the people hugged two white people with good figures and said loudly to Zhao Mancang:
"Hey, your plane is beautiful, can you borrow it for a ride?"

There are many white people and many women on the luxury yacht, and all of these women have Asian faces.

Or to be more precise, these women should be Kimura people.

Kagoshima is nearby. There might be a military base of Sam's family in Kagoshima, so it is not strange to see white people here.

At this time, Zhao Mancang was dressed as a white man, wearing sunglasses. He looked coolly at the group of people in front of him. Without even saying hello, he prepared to fly away.

However, when he wanted to leave, the luxury yacht opposite was not happy.

Two shots were fired on the sea in front of the seaplane, attracting Zhao Mancang's attention.

"Fuck, I'm talking to you, are you mute?"

Zhao Mancang sighed. He was obviously just refueling and didn't want to cause trouble, but there are always people who like to seek death.

So he had to give these people a ride.

The group of people on the opposite side didn't know what was going on. The white man with the gun, who was standing on the deck, was shot in the head by Zhao Mancang.

"Fuck off!"

Zhao Mancang, holding a gun, threatened the yacht opposite to move out of his sight.

The captain in the cockpit at this time had never seen such a scene before and could only drive the yacht away.

The white man who just died was a captain. He was out at sea fishing, but now he died on a yacht. How can he explain it when he returns?
When several other ordinary white soldiers saw this scene, they did not dare to appear in front of Zhao Mancang to avenge their captain.

After all, the assault rifle in Zhao Mancang's hand was no joke. In the eyes of the white soldiers, Zhao Mancang was a desperado who shot too fast.

Looking at the yacht going away, Zhao Mancang flew away from here.

The direction he flew away misled everyone on the luxury yacht, making them think he was heading towards Tokyo, but in fact he was returning directly to the Yellow Sea.

Kagoshima is very close to the capital, and it is only a few hundred kilometers away from Bohai Sea.

As long as he reaches Bohai, he can return to the mainland.

Zhao Mancang never takes the usual route. At around 3:00 p.m., he appeared near Bohai Sea.

But he did not approach the shore immediately. He was not so stupid as to drive the boat straight in.

It was not until evening that he slowly sailed towards the shore.

When they were still a few nautical miles away from the shore, Zhao Mancang was able to light the lighthouse, but at this moment, two small boats approached Zhao Mancang.

Zhao Mancang spotted the two small boats from a distance and made preparations in advance.

"Small boat ahead, turn off engine immediately and get checked."

Soon, Zhao Mancang heard the notifications coming from two small boats. The first one was in familiar Mandarin, the second one was in English with an accent, and then it was repeated over and over again.

Zhao Mancang obeyed and let the other party come closer.

When Li Qizhen, Wu Shengli, Jia Dingwen and Wang Jingye approached, they saw Zhao Mancang holding an assault rifle in his hand. They immediately felt like they were facing a powerful enemy and hurriedly shouted at him to put down the gun.

My goodness, this is an assault rifle. Even though the muzzle was not aimed at Wang Jingye and the others, it still made them shudder.

Especially at this time of night, they were extremely scared.

After a while, when Zhao Mancang raised his hands and stood on the deck, Li Qizhen and his team used a dim light to illuminate him. After ensuring that there was no danger, Li Qizhen and his team finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Zhao Mancang presented his ID, including his passport and other identification documents, as well as the letter of introduction written specifically for him by Zuo Changsheng.

Although the examination was completed and Zhao Mancang spoke fluent Beijing dialect, Wu Shengli and others did not completely trust Zhao Mancang.

"Why are you out on the sea? And you're rowing a small boat yourself? What's in the boat?"

"I'm sorry, but you don't have the authority to inspect. Please notify my superiors and have them come. If you touch these things, I'm sorry, but I will definitely resist."

Hearing Zhao Mancang say this, Li Qizhen and the others didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Anyway, Zhao Mancang has no guns or ammunition now, and he doesn't have any weapons like knives or sticks on him. He can't pose a threat to Li Qizhen and others who are armed with guns, right?

In fact, Zhao Mancang was able to easily deal with Li Qizhen and the others without hurting them.

It was just because they were only a few meters away from Zhao Mancang, too close.

However, it's not necessary.

Soon, Zhao Mancang boarded Li Qizhen and his crew's boat, while his own boat was towed back to the dock.

After arriving at the dock, Li Qizhen and his leader Yu Zhongshi saw Zhao Mancang and wanted to get closer to Zhao Mancang's boat and see what was on it.

As a result, he was pinned to the ground by Zhao Mancang in a few seconds.

"I told you that the things on the boat are confidential and not something you can touch. You can't get close to them. Notify the leader immediately, or you will suffer the consequences."

There are two tons of gold on the boat, which is worth more than two million US dollars. Money is very tempting.

Zhao Mancang didn't want to cause any trouble, so he had to do it even if it meant offending Yu Zhongshi.

Otherwise, who knows if it will cause greater consequences.

Human nature is greedy, and Zhao Mancang would never test human nature, especially people like Yu Zhongshi, Li Qizhen, and Wang Jingye.

They are just ordinary people, and no one knows what they are thinking.

"Don't move, Comrade Zhao Mancang, let go of our leader immediately!"

Li Qizhen, Wang Jingye, Jia Dingwen and others were dumbfounded and horrified.

They were clearly staring at Zhao Mancang, but they had no idea how Zhao Mancang moved. It was so fast that it was hard to describe. It was just too fast, so fast that they couldn't see clearly.

Then Yu Zhongshi was knocked to the ground.

Yu Zhongshi fell to the ground, seeing stars, and became completely obedient.

Seeing that the other party had calmed down, Zhao Mancang loosened his hands and feet and stopped making things difficult for him.

However, as soon as Yu Zhongshi stood up, he immediately took several steps back, then pointed at Zhao Mancang and shouted angrily at Li Qizheng, Wang Jingye, and Wu Shengli:

"Kill him for me, quick! You dare to hit me? When I was fighting on the battlefield, you weren't even born yet. How dare you bully me like this?"

He always talks about labor and capital, which shows that Yu Zhongshi is not honest at all.

Perhaps it was because of the years of peace, staying in such a position, living a stable life every day, and contentedly accepting the flattery of people like Li Qizhen, that Yu Zhongshi, who was resting on his laurels, became quite inflated.

In Yu Zhongshi's opinion, it was a bullshit secret. Why couldn't he see it?
Moreover, he was the leader in charge of the security and defense of the nearby waters, and Zhao Mancang was a person of unknown origin. Couldn't he be suspicious?
Li Qizhen, Wang Jingye, Jia Dingwen and others immediately clenched their guns and pointed them at Zhao Mancang.

The latter took a deep breath, looked at Yu Zhongshi indifferently, and said:
"Shut up! I told you it's confidential, so it's confidential. When the boss comes, you can ask him. Whether he lets you see it or not, then it will be clear to you."

"If you keep talking too much, I'll make you speechless. I've already shown you my information. I'm a doctor. If you don't shut up, I can make you shut up."

Swish!
Yu Zhongshi suddenly felt cold all over, his hair stood on end, and he looked at Zhao Mancang in horror, unable to speak for a long time.

Zhao Mancang's threat was still very effective. Wang Jingye, Li Qizhen and others put down their guns silently and did not escalate the conflict further.

If they dared to shoot, Zhao Mancang would be really disappointed.

Fortunately, after a while, a relatively influential leader, Mei Zhigui, arrived.

"Comrade Zhao Mancang, then I am qualified to know what exactly happened, right?"

After Mei Zhigui understood the situation, he asked Zhao Mancang with a smile.

The latter still shook his head and said, "I'm not sure if you're qualified to know this. Anyway, I can't leave here right now, so I can only wait for my leader to come pick me up. Only my leader is qualified to know this."

"I believe you have heard of the Special Operations Division, sir."

The Special Operations Department is the external term used by the 108th Department in China. The 108th Department is not announced to the public. Even its identity documents are divided into two copies: one is displayed and the other is rarely shown.

On the surface, this is the identity certificate of the special operations department.

Hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Mei Zhigui nodded, indicating that the people from the special operations department branch in Tianjin would be here soon, so they should wait a little longer.

Not long after, the people arrived, but after Zhao Mancang reported, he immediately used the phone near the dock to make several calls.

Soon, the call was relayed through many layers and finally arrived at the headquarters office at No. 8, Guozi Lane, Mule and Horse Market Street, Beijing.

Wei Huayong was about to lie down to sleep, but he still received a call.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and it was the end of the year and the dead of winter. Generally speaking, there was nothing to do, so Wei Huayong went to bed early.

Unfortunately, when the phone rang, especially when the person on the other end heard that it was Zhao Mancang who had returned, Wei Huayong was so shocked that he stood up directly.

"Is there really important intelligence to report? Then let him answer the phone immediately. Wait, send him back to the capital immediately, quickly!"

Reporting work over the phone is likely to be eavesdropped, so for safety reasons it is better to report in person.

So, the special operations department in Tianjin led the team personally, taking Zhao Mancang and two tons of gold and set out on the journey back to the capital.

The two tons of gold were packed in ten large boxes, all of which were moved by Zhao Mancang without any help from anyone else.

As for what exactly was inside, Zhao Mancang did not say.

Mei Zhigui, Yu Zhongshi and others looked at this scene in amazement, thinking that Zhao Mancang was really a stubborn person.

"Leader, are you just going to let him go like this?"

Yu Zhongshi was still a little unwilling because he was beaten and scolded by Zhao Mancang. Of course, he was not happy to let Zhao Mancang get away with it.

So he didn't forget to put eye drops on Zhao Mancang in front of the leader, but it was useless.

"What else do you want? Why don't you go and talk to them?" Mei Zhigui looked at Yu Zhongshi expressionlessly, then left the dock with his hands behind his back.

Today's incident was very strange, and the people from the special operations department also told them to keep it secret. It seems that something big is really happening.

Of course, Mei Zhigui, Yu Zhongshi and others also knew Zhao Mancang's identity. If it was not kept secret, Zhao Mancang would be in danger.

Because the Moscow experts had not left our country at that time. Once the KGB knew that Zhao Mancang had returned, could anything good happen?
Nearly three hours later, just after midnight, Zhao Mancang met Wei Huayong in the courtyard of No. 8 Guozi Lane in Beijing.

Finally returned to the capital, although he couldn't see Lin Wan right away, Zhao Mancang was still very excited.

Although it was the first time he met Wei Huayong, Zhao Mancang found that he was very enthusiastic.

In addition to Wei Huayong in the yard, there were also Zhou Liangshun, director of the Beijing Special Operations Department, Qi Zhengze, director of the I-shaped building office on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, and Pei Yimin.

When Qi Zhengze and Pei Yimin saw Zhao Mancang again, they were still very surprised and complicated, especially the latter. He had witnessed Zhao Mancang being covered and washed away by the snow when there was a big avalanche in the Moscow primeval forest.

In that kind of icy and snowy environment with temperatures of minus 40 to 50 degrees Celsius, and in a primeval forest far away from human society, Zhao Mancang not only survived but also returned to the capital. It was simply a miracle.

Zhao Mancang was neither in the mood nor had the time to check the system's experience point arrival information. He was reporting the assessment task to Wei Huayong.

When Wei Huayong learned that Zhao Mancang had separated from Zuo Changsheng and the other two, and that he was the one carrying two tons of gold back to the capital, he widened his eyes and looked at Zhao Mancang in surprise and said:

"Really? You really brought back all the gold? Just these ten boxes?"

Wei Huayong's voice was quite loud, and Qi Zhengze, Zhou Liangshun, Pei Yimin and others could hear it clearly.

Oh boy, gold?

Chen Guixian, the captain of the Tianjin Special Operations Department who was responsible for bringing Zhao Mancang back, was also stunned. Then he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Zhao Mancang had been reluctant to reveal what was in the ten boxes.

So it’s gold!

"Well, it's in these ten boxes. Should we open them here or carry them inside?" Zhao Mancang asked. Wei Huayong immediately said nervously:

"Hurry, hurry, move them all into the room, and don't talk about it for now."

Wow, this is two tons of gold. It’s not an ordinary thing and is worth a lot of money.

According to the gold purchase price of three yuan and four cents per gram in Beijing, one ton is equal to one thousand kilograms, or one million grams.

So one ton of gold is 3.04 million RMB, and two tons is 6.08 million RMB.

If calculated based on the international gold price, two tons of gold would be worth more than two million US dollars.

In short, these two tons of gold are very valuable and cannot be lost.

In the room, Zhao Mancang moved the ten boxes in by himself without asking anyone else for help.

Zhou Liangshun and several other leaders wanted to help, but were stopped by Zhao Mancang. As a result, they were still unwilling to do so. After trying, they found that they could not move it at all.

Even Chen Guixian, the captain of the Tianjin Special Operations Department, was so embarrassed that his face turned red, but he couldn't move the box at all.

However, Zhao Mancang moved the ten boxes in very easily, which made Qi Zhengze and others very curious: How strong is Zhao Mancang?

One ton is equal to two thousand kilograms, and two tons is four thousand kilograms. There are ten boxes in total, which means that each box contains four hundred kilograms of gold, and this does not include the weight of the box itself.

The weight of four hundred kilograms is of course very heavy for Chen Guixian and others, so it is normal that they cannot move it.

Inside the house, Wei Huayong, Qi Zhengze, Zhou Liangshun, Chen Guixian, and Pei Yimin all held their breath, staring in amazement at the gold in the ten boxes in front of them.

Although there is not much gold in each big box because the box itself is very large, gold has a high density and a small volume, so it does not take up much space.

So it looked a little funny, but it did not affect Wei Huayong and the others who were fascinated by the gold and gained new insights for the first time.

Gold in this era is very rare.

Except for those bank employees who specialize in handling gold and some private individuals who hold gold, most other people have never seen gold, let alone two tons of gold in front of them.

"Dear leaders, there are two tons of gold in total, no more, no less, just right." After taking out all the gold and stacking them neatly, Zhao Mancang looked at Wei Huayong and the others and said:

"Actually, we still have half a ton of gold and $780,000 in cash with Captain Zuo and his men, but I don't know if they've returned. Anyway, we separated near Maoqi City yesterday, or maybe the day before yesterday, and we haven't seen each other since."

A total of twenty to thirty hours have passed since the day before yesterday. Zhao Mancang spent so much time and covered a distance of more than one thousand and nearly two thousand kilometers. Although it was a bit incredible, it was not incomprehensible.

After briefly reporting on his work, Wei Huayong immediately picked up the phone and called someone.

It is impossible to keep two tons of gold in the 108th Department, otherwise Wei Huayong would not be able to sleep tonight.

While he was on the phone, Pei Yimin looked at Zhao Mancang and asked in amazement how he had escaped from the snowy mountain.

In response, Zhao Mancang naturally half-truthed and said that he fell into a natural underground cave. Because of the soft snow and thick clothes, he did not fall seriously.

As for how to leave this cave space later, that is even simpler.

But then Qi Zhengze asked whether Zhao Mancang had ever been to the Bolshelicinsky camp, and why he did not directly seek help from the locals after leaving and return to the Moscow base?
"Director Qi, I have never been to the place you mentioned." Zhao Mancang flatly denied it. No matter what the other party thought in his heart, he would never admit it.

It was like Zuo Changsheng and the others knew clearly that Zhao Mancang had really caused a disturbance in the Bolshelicinsky camp, but that was just their own guess. As long as Zhao Mancang did not admit it, no one could do anything to him.

Anyway, there is no proof!

"As for why I didn't go back to Moscow, haha, Director Qi couldn't have been unaware of why I was buried alive by the avalanche. Would such a thing have happened if I hadn't gone to Moscow?"

Zhao Mancang still felt resentful towards Qi Zhengze.

If it weren't for the other party who had been urging him to go to Moscow and finally moved out of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, how could Zhao Mancang have gone to Moscow?
"You went to Moscow to witness the friendship between our two countries."

Qi Zhengze explained righteously, looking awe-inspiring and seemingly selfless.

"So I was buried alive in the snow for so long, and no one came to rescue me. Is this what you call friendship? Then why didn't you go to Moscow yourself?"

Zhao Mancang said something again, and Pei Yimin hurriedly tried to persuade him to stop talking. However, Zhao Mancang turned his attention to Pei Yimin:

"Leader Pei, if you hadn't agreed to Fedor Godunov and Kolesnikov's invitation and insisted on bringing me along, would all those things have happened?"

It can be seen that Zhao Mancang is full of resentment.

Wei Huayong, Zhou Liangshun and Chen Guixian had been eating melons for a while and were just about to step out and say a few nice words when there was a knock on the door.

Soon, more than ten people came in. One of the leaders smiled happily when he saw the gold on the table:

"Old Wei, you're really awesome! Your department managed to get so much gold? You're so awesome!"

The 108th Department often requires a lot of funds, and these funds are all in foreign currency because Zuo Changsheng and his team need to go out frequently to perform tasks.

However, Zuo Changsheng and his men were not able to bring back gold every time like they did this time.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that there are so few people in the 108 departments.

I can’t afford it!
He Zhonglun works in Lingjing Hutong, and his position is definitely higher than Wei Huayong's. However, the two have known each other for many years and have a long-standing relationship. Naturally, they do not judge a person's ability based on his position.

"Old He, now you know how powerful our 108th Department is, right?"

It is said that people feel refreshed when good things happen to them. This time, Wei Huayong also earned a lot of face because of the two tons of gold that Zhao Mancang brought back. He was very happy at the moment.

"Come on, Lao He, let me introduce you. This is Comrade Zhao Mancang, our great hero this time, and the thirteenth warrior of our 108th Division."

There are only twelve people in the 108 departments. Except for Wei Huayong who does not need to perform tasks, the other eleven people need to perform tasks frequently.

Due to the dangerous nature of the missions of the 108th Division, one or two new members are actually needed every year. One year, three new members were even needed.

Of course, many leaders also suggested abolishing the 108th Department because the number of staff was too small and the quality of the tasks completed was not so perfect, but the cost was not small.

You have to know that foreign exchange is very scarce now, and as a result, the 108 departments need to spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of foreign exchange every year.

This happens every year. Even if you are rich, you can't afford to have so many departments, not to mention that you are poor to begin with.

There is not much foreign exchange, and money is needed in all aspects. Everyone would like to break every penny into two or three cents to spend, so naturally they don’t want the Bailingba Department to spend money.

Therefore, Wei Huayong, the department leader, had been filled with anger for a long time, but he couldn't vent it.

This time I can finally hold my head high.

He Zhonglun looked at Zhao Mancang with a smile, and after Wei Huayong finished speaking, he smiled and said:
"Are you Comrade Zhao Mancang? I've heard of your name for a while now, but I didn't expect to see you here. You're great, very capable."

After praising Zhao Mancang for a few words, He Zhonglun ordered the people he brought with him to count the gold as quickly as possible, and then quickly left Courtyard No. 8.

Two tons of gold are too important, and we must not delay any time, so as to avoid any unnecessary complications.

He Zhonglun came quickly and left even faster, as if he had never been there.

Chen Guixian also said goodbye and left, followed by Qi Zhengze, Pei Yimin and Zhou Liangshun.

Although Pei Yimin was the one who took Zhao Mancang away from the capital, it was not he who brought Zhao Mancang back personally when they returned.

Not to mention that Zhao Mancang's relationship has now been transferred to the 108th Department, and from now on people like Pei Yimin and Qi Zhengze will not be able to order him around at will.

And since Zhao Mancang hadn't said a few words to them just now, Pei Yimin and Qi Zhengze, who felt bored, of course left here first.

After they all left, Wei Huayong pulled Zhao Mancang aside and asked him to report in detail the situation of Zuo Changsheng, Pan Chengdong and Zhang Jinfu, as well as the details of their mission.

Although it was already early morning, Wei Huayong was very excited and couldn't sleep.
Zuo Changsheng and the others haven't returned, and Wei Huayong is also very worried.

After the detailed report, Zhao Mancang asked if he could go home.

When in Osaka, Zhang Jinfu told Zhao Mancang that when the former left Beijing, there were KGB people hanging around his house.

Therefore, if Zhao Mancang returned home at this time, he would definitely be discovered.

"Don't worry, it's already so late. If you go back now, you will definitely be discovered."

Wei Huayong pondered and said:

"We've concealed your information. Currently, only Comrade Lin Wan knows that you're still alive. No one else knows."

"So I'll arrange a meeting between you and Comrade Lin Wan tomorrow, don't worry."

Seeing this, Zhao Mancang opened his mouth, but didn't say the last word and sighed.

He knew what the situation was now, and he couldn't blame anyone else. He could only say that what happened in Moscow led to the subsequent series of events.

If we have to blame others, then Qi Zhengze and Pei Yimin will definitely not be able to escape.

But these two people are leaders and hold high positions. Even if Zhao Mancang wants to take revenge, it is unlikely to happen in this life.

If he insists on taking revenge, he will probably end up in a desperate situation and it will not be easy for him either.

So this is all we can do for now.

Maybe we can think of a solution in the future when the Siberian cold wind passes through.

As the night fell, Zhao Mancang settled down in Courtyard No. 8.

This is called the 108th Headquarters, but it is actually also Wei Huayong's home.

Old Wei's wife passed away early, and his son and daughter-in-law are not around, so he is the only old man left in Courtyard No. 8.

When the first ray of sunlight appeared in the early morning, Zhao Mancang had already gotten up, and Lao Wei got up even earlier than him.

After breakfast, Wei Huayong was busy making arrangements.

At the steel plant, Xing Shuqi personally led two comrades in military uniforms to the Propaganda Department.

"Comrade Lin Wan, these two comrades want to see you about something. Please go out with them."

He was wearing a military uniform and had a secret mission, so Xing Shuqi had no idea what was going on.

Anyway, there was nothing wrong with the document, and his leader had called him, so he had no choice but to have Lin Wan taken away.

As the head of the steel plant, Xing Shuqi is not qualified to know everything.

Anyway, as far as this matter is concerned, Xing Shuqi is not qualified to know.

"Comrade, where are you taking me?"

Lin Wan, who had gotten in the car, asked curiously, but was met with a reply: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. You'll know when you get there."

At half past nine in the morning, a car drove in and stopped at the gate of the courtyard at No. 8 Guozi Lane.

Lin Wan was asked to cover her face and put on a military coat. From the outside, she looked like a big meat dumpling, and no part of her body could be seen.

After entering the yard, Lin Wan didn't feel anything.

It was not until she pushed the door open and walked into the room and saw Zhao Mancang sitting in the room that her eyes instantly turned red, and the next moment, tears as big as beans fell.

The room was gently closed, giving the couple space to meet alone.

Zhao Mancang hugged his wife and kept comforting her. It was not until a long time later that Lin Wan felt a little better.

The couple had a lot to say, but they didn't seem to know where to start.

Zhao Mancang chuckled, then picked up her wrist and took her pulse.

As a result, he frowned quickly:
"Didn't I leave some meat at home before I left? Didn't you eat it? You're not getting enough nutrition."

Lin Wan was confirmed to be pregnant by Zhao Mancang on September 14 last year. She was already about a month pregnant at that time.

In other words, Lin Wan was already pregnant in mid-to-early August.

Today is February 1, 1959, so more than five months have passed, almost six months.

In six months, her body has become very big, but she is wearing thick clothes now, so her belly does not look very big.

"No, I ate a lot of meat, okay?"

Hearing Lin Wan's sophistry, Zhao Mancang was both amused and angry. He said distressedly, "You're not the only one who needs to eat. The baby in your belly also needs to eat. Eat more."

"But I'm getting fat, and I'm afraid you won't want me anymore."

Lin Wan blurted out and immediately blushed.

Because when the couple was practicing water magic, Zhao Mancang often praised her figure for being fat where it should be fat, and thin where it should be thin.

She took it to heart and was afraid that her waist would become like a pot belly.

Now she is six months old, so her waist has naturally become like a pot belly, and it will even continue to expand.

Zhao Mancang suddenly fell silent. How could he not feel sorry for his wife?

The couple chatted in the room for a long time. More than two hours later, someone knocked on the door and Lin Wan came to her senses.

Since Lin Wan still needed to go back to the steel plant, mainly to prevent being targeted by the KGB, she had to go back to the steel plant canteen to eat.

After Lin Wan left, Zhao Mancang found Wei Huayong and said:
"Boss, it's already the first of the day. When can I go home?"

The KGB people were still lingering outside his house, and he couldn't alarm them, so it was unlikely that Zhao Mancang would be able to go home.

Wei Huayong had no choice but to wait a little longer.

The next day, in the afternoon, Pan Chengdong, Zuo Changsheng and Zhang Jinfu finally returned.

Inside Courtyard No. 8, the three of them were very surprised when they saw Zhao Mancang:

"Mancang, what's going on with you? How come you came back to the capital earlier than us? I heard you came back on the 31st? Holy crap!"

The three of them knew their situation best. They were in Maoqi City, Kimura. Even if Zhao Mancang wanted to take a plane, he had to either go to Tokyo or a big city like Osaka.

It is impossible for other cities to have civil aviation passenger planes.

But if he didn't take a plane, how did Zhao Mancang manage to return to the capital so quickly?

Zhao Mancang greeted the three of them separately, and then simply repeated the words he had said to Wei Huayong before.

"I wouldn't necessarily say I was lucky. After I separated from you, I encountered a helicopter."

Anyway, Zhao Mancang just talked nonsense, saying that he happened to encounter a plane, then accidentally broke into the airport, and then drove away in someone else's plane.

Zhang Jinfu and the other three were stunned. Pan Chengdong glared and said:

"You mean you just flew your seaplane back to the capital?"

"No, Lao Pan, wait for me to finish speaking."

Zhao Mancang glared at Pan Chengdong helplessly for interrupting him.

Zuo Changsheng and Zhang Jinfu both pushed Pan Chengdong, asking him to listen carefully and not make trouble.

Pan Chengdong smiled awkwardly and motioned Zhao Mancang to continue.

"I flew the plane back to the Bohai Sea, but it ran out of fuel, so I was forced to land on the sea."

Hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Pan Chengdong and the other three widened their eyes again.

The fact that Zhao Mancang could fly a plane and even fly it back to Bohai Sea already made Zhang Jinfu and the other three people admire him very much, not to mention that he actually managed to force it to land on the sea and swim back.

It's simply a miracle!

"Then I quickly dismantled some of the tables and chairs on the plane, and then banged away to make a small boat. I loaded the gold onto it, and then I rowed the boat back to shore. The rest is history."

After Zhao Mancang finished speaking, it took Zuo Changsheng and the others a long time to digest what he said.

"By the way, Mancang, when did you learn to fly a plane?"

Zhang Jinfu raised his doubts, and Zuo Changsheng and Pan Chengdong also cast curious glances at him, as did Wei Huayong who was not far away.

Wei Huayong was very happy at this time.

After all, Zuo Changsheng and the other two brought back half a ton of gold and 780,000 US dollars in cash to the capital, and the 108th Department really became famous this time.

Anyway, the leaders above will never say anything bad about the 108th Department again.

Just this time, the two and a half tons of gold and 780,000 US dollars brought back by Zhao Mancang and his three companions were enough to shut up those leaders who had previously clamored to abolish the 108 departments.

After all, Zhao Mancang is a warrior who has just joined the 108th Department and has not even participated in the remaining assessment items, so Wei Huayong also needs to pay more attention to him.

"At the end of October last year, I was invited to participate in some medical exchange, so I flew to Moscow."

When this matter was mentioned, Zhao Mancang told the reasons he had already thought of, as well as some of the circumstances at that time.

It was actually his first time on a plane. He felt that airplanes were amazing. How did the navigator determine the direction in the vast sky? How did the plane take off?

In short, Zhao Mancang was very interested in these things. Moreover, it was a long journey from the capital to Moscow at that time, and the people in Moscow were trying to please Zhao Mancang, so they were naturally willing to tell him anything.

Therefore, after a deeper understanding, Zhao Mancang became more interested and decided to learn driving skills in Great Britain.

Zuo Changsheng and the others didn't know anything about Great Britain, so they just listened to Zhao Mancang's nonsense.
