Chapter 117 Meeting at the Pier
"Shen He helped the Japanese collect a shipload of food, but the food is still at the dock and hasn't been shipped away."
Lin Ruotang's news made Xie Wuwei excited, but Lin Ruotang's next words poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"But time is urgent. We can't keep it for long. Shen Yuan is a die-hard traitor just like his father. We must transport that shipload of food as quickly as possible."
Xie Wuwei calmed down and said to Lin Ruotang:
"Niu Batian still has to step in this time. I'm notifying the people back home now. We're racing against time. We can't let Shen Yuan react."
Lin Ruotang hesitated for a moment, then said to Xie Wuwei:
"Niu Batian, I think I can fight for this person..."
"Well, you should develop it and see what his attitude is."
Xie Wuwei pondered for a moment. If Niu Batian was one of their own, many things would be much easier to handle.
Just after Shen He's death, the Shen family was in all the news, and the Shen family's business was like a piece of fat meat, attracting greedy capitalists.
Shen Yuan was so busy with his father's funeral and protecting the family property that he completely forgot about the shipload of grain at the dock.
Here, Lin Ruotang found Niu Batian again, and only Wang Juan was at home.
"Miss Lin!"
Wang Juan likes chatting with Lin Ruotang very much and always hears some wonderful and interesting ideas.
"Sister Juan, isn't Mr. Niu at home?"
"I'll be back in a bit. Something seems to have happened at the dock..."
Hearing about the accident at the dock, Lin Ruotang's heart moved.
"Why don't we go and take a look!"
Wang Juan had no objection, got into Lin Ruotang's car, and said enviously:
"Ms. Lin, you are amazing! You can even drive!"
Lin Ruotang didn't think this was that amazing, and said while driving:
"If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Wang Juan was eager to try. Even Niu Batian couldn't drive. If she learned to drive, it would be different. She would be considered a new woman.
"Okay, as long as Secretary Lin doesn't mind the trouble."
As the two were talking, they arrived at the dock and found that Niu Batian was confronting a group of people. That person was none other than Wu Youxiang.
Wu Youxiang was wearing a straight black uniform, which was stiffer than before. It was obvious that he had some power in his hands. He pointed at Niu Batian and the villain behind him.
"You and all of you, come here and start a fight..."
Seeing Lin Ruotang coming, he just paused slightly and continued,
"It's lawless. This place has been turned into a mess by you little hooligans."
Lin Ruotang got out of the car. She was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a dark blue woolen coat, and she looked outstanding.
"Director Wu, you're so angry. What's going on?"
After she finished speaking, she walked forward, and Wang Juan also trotted to Niu Batian's side. Lin Ruotang turned around and asked Niu Batian:
"Lao Niu, why did you make Director Wu unhappy?"
Wu Youhao lowered his eyes and took out a cigarette box. He didn't smoke originally, but somehow when he thought of Xie Wuwei, he also learned to smoke.
Niu Batian whispered in Lin Ruotang's ear,
"We're fighting for territory with others, and this Wu guy keeps arresting our people. I think he's targeting me, Old Niu!"
Hearing this, Wu Youxiang sneered.
Wu Youxiang looked at Lin Ruotang and said to her:
"Some things are not what Miss Lin sees."
Lin Ruotang extended his hand and invited Wu Youhao to the riverside dock. Looking at the rolling river, Lin Ruotang slowly spoke:
"I know Director Wu is not that kind of person."
When Wu Youxiang heard this, he turned around and stared at Lin Ruotang, holding a cigarette in his mouth.
"Ms. Lin, do you have a heart?"
Seeing Lin Ruotang looking at him with a puzzled expression, Wu Youxiang took a deep puff of his cigarette.
"I've helped you so much, and you don't even call me by my name. You're either Captain Wu or Director Wu..."
Lin Ruotang was speechless. She took a deep breath.
"Okay, Wu Youxiang, can you tell me why you're targeting the Black Dragon Gang?"
"against?"
Wu Youxiang seemed to be remembering something funny, and smiled.
"I'm targeting him. Do you know who's behind the people who're competing with them for territory? It's Hashimoto Yota from the patrol team. This guy is a ruthless person. If I don't catch them, I'll be retaliated against!"
Hearing this, Lin Ruotang's expression became serious and he said softly:
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Wu Youxiang chuckled softly, his intense eyebrows and eyes seemed to be shrouded in gloom.
"It's my own fault. I said those words back then. In your heart, I have always been a villain..."
After he finished speaking, he strode away. After taking two steps, he stopped and turned around to see Lin Ruotang's figure by the river. He was so thin but so tenacious.
"In short, don't offend the Qinglong Gang recently. No one will be able to save them when the time comes."
Wu Youxiang left with his men. When he returned to the station, he took out his baton with a fierce look in his eyes and looked at everyone with a warning.
"Watch your mouths! If the director gets to know what happened today, you'll know what I'm up to!"
"Yes!"
Everyone's skin tightened. Wu Youxiang was no longer the same Wu Youxiang. Even the little mouse felt that he was a stranger.
When Wu Youxiang left, Niu Batian came over.
"Miss Lin, sorry to bother you again!"
"There's no need to talk about this between us. We're all close friends who have risked our lives together. We can definitely be considered comrades-in-arms..."
Lin Ruotang's seemingly joking words made Niu Batian's heart skip a beat. He knew that this was Lin Ruotang testing him.
"Ms. Lin, I am certainly honored to be your comrade."
Niu Batian's mind was in turmoil. If a man did not have the heart to serve his country, it would be fake. Being born in this era is both hardship and opportunity.
"This time, there is something that requires the intervention of Boss Niu."
When Niu Batian heard this, his expression became serious. He knew that a test was coming for him.
"Miss Lin, just give me your orders!"
Lin Ruotang smiled, his eyes sharp, observing Niu Batian's expression.
"This isn't an order. We're all comrades, fighting side by side and working together to complete the mission. How can you call it an order?"
Niu Batian remembered something and couldn't help asking:
"Then which faction are we on..."
Lin Ruotang smiled and said to him:
"You will know when the time comes."
This is not the style of the Military Control Commission, and Niu Batian had a vague guess in his mind.
Seeing Niu Batian about to leave, Lin Ruotang remembered what Wu Youxiang had said just now.
"Oh, and don't go head-to-head with the Qinglong Gang. They have patrol captain Hashimoto Yota behind them!"
Hearing this name, Niu Batian clenched his fists.
"It's this guy again!"
Lin Ruotan looked at him doubtfully, and Niu Batian then said:
"That was the guy who harmed the old lady's body when we sent her away."
Hearing this, Lin Ruotang frowned and clenched his fists.
"It turned out to be that guy!"
She calmed down and said to Niu Batian:
"Ignore him for now, keep an eye on the Shen family's boat first."
The operation was hasty. Lin Ruotang kept an eye on it, and Xie Wuwei also contacted people in his hometown. The people in his hometown notified a small group of members to board the ship and transport the food back.
Xie Wuwei also brought news about the team members.
