Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 96 Sacrifice
Han Hui delivered the ammunition to the base and returned to Shanghai, with only six days left before her departure.

After a trip to the black market, Han Hui learned that three large cargo ships would be leaving for the Japanese Empire in two days. Rumor had it that they would use these ships to transport the rare treasures looted in China to the Japanese Empire.

Han Hui felt that if the Japanese really wanted to transport rare treasures back to the country, the news would not be leaked to everyone. This was most likely a bait set by the Japanese, and their target was the Dragon Guardian.

After some thought, Han Hui bought a ticket for a large passenger ship bound for the Japanese Empire at 8:30 the next morning. She felt the rumor of rare treasures being transported wasn't groundless. If the freighter was bait, then the treasure was likely placed on the passenger ship. Of course, this was just her speculation, and she could be wrong.

That night, Han Hui went to Zhang Ziqiang and handed him a palm-sized iron box. "I have to go out to do something tomorrow, so I'll leave this with you. If I don't come back, give it to my mother or my brother if you see them in the future."

Zhang Ziqiang's expression changed slightly, but he didn't ask any further questions. Given Han Hui's abilities, it must have been a very dangerous mission to have her go without returning. He actually wanted to fight the Japanese, but his family was holding him back, so he didn't dare take that step.

Taking the box with both hands, Zhang Ziqiang said solemnly: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely pass this thing on to my aunt."

Han Hui handed him two large yellow croakers. Seeing that he didn't want them, she smiled and said, "You have money in your hand, so you don't have to worry about anything unexpected. Take it!"

Zhang Ziqiang still shook his head: "Boss, since I followed you, I no longer lack money."

Han Hui placed the large yellow croaker on the table and said softly, "Brother Zhang, consider this money as something you're saving for me. If my mother and eldest brother ever get into trouble, this money might be able to save their lives."

Only then did Zhang Ziqiang agree to accept it.

The next day, Han Hui boarded the ferry and, using her space and invisibility talismans, she reached the cargo hold and discovered a large number of boxes. There was no time to inspect them, so Han Hui stored everything in the hold until it could no longer hold anything, and then she began to set the bomb.

The cargo hold was blown up, the cabin quickly filled with water, and the passenger ship was in a state of mourning.

Han Hui was lucky enough to survive until the rescue team arrived, but upon reaching shore, they were taken to a hotel. They were supposedly given a rest break, but in reality, they were being held under house arrest. Those who died couldn't be held accountable, but those who survived would definitely be interrogated.

Han Hui's identity could not withstand investigation, so she deliberately created chaos and escaped. After hiding in the safe house, Han Hui entered the space to check the confiscated supplies.

This time, more than 200 boxes were confiscated, some of which contained gold, some contained antique calligraphy and paintings and rare treasures, and some contained rare medicinal materials and prescriptions such as hundreds of years old wild ginseng.

Any antique painting or calligraphy here could be exchanged for 30,000 or more Wealth Points, clearly a treasure. However, this exchange also allowed Han Hui to discover that medicinal prescriptions could also be exchanged for Wealth Points, though at a much lower rate.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Han Hui put the gold in the basement of the safe house, and the rare treasures and medicinal herbs in the basement of the house she bought in Huaqiao Town. Mainly because she was running out of time, this was the only way to arrange it.

After putting everything away, Han Hui returned to Shanghai at night and went to find Wang Chuan, leaving behind a letter and a box of gold, silver and jewelry.

The first half of the letter, which contained two addresses for storing items, thrilled Wang Chuan. He hadn't imagined that the Dragon Guards had blown up the Japanese passenger ship two days earlier and recovered the gold and precious treasures the Japanese had looted. But the second half of the letter left Wang Chuan utterly horrified. Han Hui, in her heart, declared that she had a terminal illness and was dying, and urged Wang Chuan to evacuate immediately and not remain in Shanghai.

Although he was very sad, the matter was of great importance, so Wang Chuan left Shanghai early the next morning.

At this point, Han Hui had only 16 hours left before her departure. Seeing her wealth still at 39, Han Hui had a bold idea. She exchanged explosives and munitions for them and broke into the military police headquarters that night.

In fact, her original target was the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters. However, after the theft of munitions and the bombing of warships and cargo ships, the Marine Corps headquarters was heavily guarded. If she went there, she would probably be discovered before she could kill anyone.

After sneaking into the military police headquarters, Han Hui assassinated some Japanese soldiers, but these Japanese soldiers were well-trained and soon revealed their whereabouts and were discovered. Han Hui was not afraid of being surrounded and continued to fight the Japanese soldiers using the favorable terrain.

As they were killing, a box popped up on the system saying, "Ten minutes left."

Han Hui deftly removed her bulletproof vest and helmet and returned them to her room. According to the regulations, items beyond this era could not be shown to the public.

"boom……"

A grenade landed next to Han Hui and exploded, shocking her so much that she spat out blood. She clutched the bundle of grenades in her arms and said, in a voice only she could hear, "System, escape from this world."

The next second, the person was no longer breathing.

The Japanese soldiers approached and saw Han Hui sitting on the ground. They were amazed. She had fought with them for over an hour alone.

One of the soldiers saw Han Hui holding something in her arms and walked over to take it out.

"Do not move."

But it was too late. The fuse was pulled, the grenade exploded, and all the Japanese were blown away.

At the same time, Huang Shufen felt a sharp pain in her chest. Feeling uneasy, she looked for Han Mengyang and said, "Son, when are you going to pick up Xiaoman?"

She originally thought that she would stay in Suzhou for three to five days at most, but she didn't expect that after her son sold the goods, he would take her on several trips to such a remote village.

Han Mengyang also wanted to find Han Hui, but he could no longer return to Shanghai. He still didn't know how he was exposed. When he sold the goods and was about to return to Shanghai, he received a telegram from Han Hui saying that she had prepared a surprise for him.

The surprise turned out to be a letter left with Huang Shufen. After reading the letter, he took Huang Shufen and left Suzhou.

Huang Shufen saw that he didn't say anything, and she became anxious: "If you don't go find Xiaoman, then I'll go by myself."

Han Mengyang couldn't reveal his identity, so he handed Han Hui the letter: "Mom, Xiaoman told us not to return to Shanghai because it's dangerous."

Huang Shufen didn't understand: "If she knew there was danger, why didn't she come with us?"

Han Mengyang persuaded her, "Mom, Xiaoman is so good at martial arts and a sharpshooter, he can escape if there is any danger."

Huang Shufen asked, "So, when will Xiaoman be able to come back?"

Han Mengyang said: "She knows this place. She will come to us naturally when she finishes her business."

Huang Shufen clasped her hands together, bowed toward the sky, and said with a choked voice, "God, you must bless Xiaoman to return safely. As long as Xiaoman returns safely, I am willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of my life."
