Chapter 20 The Wharf

Chapter 20 Pier ()

Half an hour later, after Zeng Yiyang was persuaded and coaxed and deceived, a ball of gauze that he got from the first mate wrapped around Alfred's forehead.

Alfred grinned and complained: "You were too sinister. You used my trust in you to deceive me. It doesn't matter if you deceive me. Why did you bring the head of state in? Don't you know that this is disrespect for the head of state?"

It was just a slogan of the Nazi Party. As for it? But he did not dare to say in front of Alfred, who was angry anymore. Facing a head of state like a religious god, in the eyes of his believers, he was God, and Zeng Yiyang dared to blaspheme God in front of the believers.

Zeng Yiyang had to keep explaining that he was just practicing the standard salute of the Nazis, and no matter how stupid Alfred would not believe this.

After taking a hat, Alfred couldn't help but frown.

“This hat is too ugly.”

Zeng Yiyang took back the hat in his hand and said to Alfred: "Do you want to get off the boat with a gauze on one end? There are many red-headed Sans in the public rental, and there will be strips of cloth wrapped around their heads, but they are wrapped in red cloth. You can do it!" After that, he walked out without waiting for Alfred to react.

"Wait for me." Alfred hurriedly grabbed a hat and ran up quickly.

When he got off the boat, he saw Zeng Yiyang saying something to an Indian policeman, but the other party kept shaking his head. When Alfred came out, Zeng Yiyang pointed at Alfred and said to him: "I'll say it again. Please deliver this gentleman's luggage to the lobby of Huizhong Hotel. This is the gentleman's business card. Just give it to the lobby manager."

When the Indian policeman saw a Westerner coming towards him, he changed his face and saluted respectfully, then kept his waist bent and looked up at Alfred with difficulty. He said to Alfred: "Dear Mr. Officer, as you wish, I will serve you, and you need other requests."

Alfred looked stunned and didn't understand, but he was not stupid either. He waved to the Indian patrol impatiently and signaled him to leave.

When the Indian patrol retreated, he said to Zeng Yiyang in confusion: "Why did that Indian salute me and bow again?"

"It's nothing, I just told him that there was a handsome Mr. Officer who came from the distant Britain and asked him to help put Mr. Officer's luggage in the hotel we stayed at." Zeng Yiyang said indifferently.

Alfred said helplessly: "This handsome officer cannot be me!" After saying that, he pointed at his nose and smiled bitterly.

Zeng Yiyang agreed without looking back. Just when Alfred was about to complain again, Zeng Yiyang raised his chin and looked at a person leaning against the wall on the corner of the street that was only forty or fifty meters away from them.

"That guy was staring at me as soon as I got off the boat. I felt like I was coming for us."

"No! Maybe he is waiting for someone, and the person he is waiting for hasn't gotten off the boat."

"If we got off the boat the first time I called you, maybe that might be possible. But now, you look back at the boat behind you?"

As soon as Alfred turned around, he saw that the "York" had already set off a fire and was about to drive out of the port. Only then did he realize that he had been delaying so much time.

At this moment, he was suddenly pushed by Zeng Yiyang's arm and looked in the direction Zeng Yiyang pointed at. "Damn."

Alfred whispered. He saw something very familiar. Even though the thing was wrapped under his clothes, he still guessed the name of the thing - a pistol. The outline seemed to be with the Type 96 semi-automatic pistol he had stocked up in large quantities.

Zeng Yiyang and Alfred each had their own scheming. Zeng Yiyang first wanted to get the gang in Shanghai, but he immediately denied it. It was very simple. Will the gang come to the 16th Shop Wharf to guard him in public with weapons? It must be Dai Li's spy organization. If there is a "Blue Clothing Club" that can be Dai Li, it will be a bad time. Unfortunately, the other party lowered his hat, so that Zeng Yiyang could not see the other party's appearance.

What Alfred thought was the British Oriental agents in the Far East, who were here to prevent the revival of Germany, or rather, conspirators who did not allow the Krupp family to rise again.

"What should I do?" the two of them said face to face at the same time.

"When we left the pier, passed the street, then listened to my command, ran together, and saw the alley across the road?"

Alfred nodded nervously. He regretted it. He didn't expect that Shanghai would be so dangerous. He didn't even carry a pistol on his body. When Zeng Yiyang was about to start his move and took a step, he found that Alfred was pulling his sleeve and asked nervously: "Yiyang, tell me, you have a weapon on you, right?"

Zeng Yiyang did not look back, leaned back, grabbed Alfred's hand, and pressed it a few times, indicating that he didn't worry. Unexpectedly, Alfred's palm was covered in sweat and he was extremely nervous. If he shouted, "Run."

Alfred, who was following him, would not hesitate, like a wild dog running all the way, and could run from Sliupu to Waibaidu in one breath.

The two pretended to be fine and walked through the loan checkpoint guarded by Indian patrolmen. As a war broke out in Shanghai not long ago, although the war was coming to an end and negotiators from all parties were frequently in contact, the army and the armistice entered a state of truce. However, all aspects of Shanghai were in panic and were cautiously staring at the people coming and going. These Indian patrolmen also increased due to this reason.

The mysterious man who was staring at Zeng Yiyang and the others in the distance also followed. The nervous Alfred not only accelerated his pace, but rushed to Zeng Yiyang without taking two steps.

"Prosperity? This is in other people's territory. No matter how fast you run, you can run beyond their eyes." Zeng Yiyang said dissatisfiedly, but the voice was not loud, and it was said in Chinese. Alfred didn't figure it out and found that he was walking in front of Zeng Yiyang. When he thought that it was his first time to come to China, he lost Zeng Yiyang as a guide and didn't sell himself. It was really true.

Then, Alfred did not leave, but instead looked at the mysterious man following them with gloating pleasure.

It was seen that the Indian patrolman's rubber rod fell on the other party like raindrops, and the other party could only dodge and move like a monkey.

The work that Shuigen finally got from the boss of Shuili was ruined by an Indian San.

It turned out that Du Yuesheng had many followers in Shanghai and Hong Kong. This time, Krupp entered the arms market in the East with a high profile, and the news had already reached Nanjing. The big guys in the arms business in Shanghai stared at their movements.

As soon as Alfred appeared in Hong Kong, the telegrams were photographed in Shanghai. In Nanjing, the gangs and warlords in Shanghai were all Chinese forces. The French, Belgians and British were staring at them, and all parties were making preparations in secret.
