On the 23rd, the Shanghai Railway Station was very lively, and many Kuomintang members came to see off. Many five-color national flags and blue sky and white sun flags were lit around the railway station. There were many local journalists and foreign journalists, and they arrived in advance to seize a favorable position and recorded the process of the start of China's first political party. Some Shanghai intellectuals and bourgeois representatives also came to join in the fun. Song Jiaoren, Wu Shaoting, Liao Zhongkai and others took five cars and went straight to the railway station from the party headquarters.

After getting off the bus, Wu Shaoting and his subordinates followed Song Jiaoren. The staff at the railway station cleared a road earlier so that the Kuomintang and his group could enter the platform smoothly. Song Jiaoren was very excited, but he was very calm. He waved to the reporters present and the crowd who saw him off, and then walked into the railway station.

The platform is more crowded than outside. It is not that there are too many people seeing off, but that the train station is like this every day. In this era, the train stations are not big, and there are too many passengers coming and going, so this is why.

The Kuomintang representatives from the north were a group of seven people. The party saw off the comrades appear on the platform, and some dedicated reporters followed closely behind. The train heading to Tianjin had just entered the station five minutes ago and is now docking next to the platform. Workers are busy changing water and sandbags, and the platform staff guide passengers to get on the train one by one.

Song Jiaoren first asked the other representatives to get on the train to prepare, then turned around and said to everyone with a smile: "Zhongkai, Xingyan, Boxun, please send it here. It is inconvenient for people to come and go on the platform. I am representing the public's opinion. How can I affect people's livelihood because of personal travel? Please go back."

Yu Youren sighed: "We are really ashamed of our own since we are accompanied by Governor Wu, we will naturally feel relieved."

Wu Shaoting put his hands in the pocket of his suit pants and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Bo Xun, I will definitely send my fisherman's brother to Nanjing safely."

Liao Zhongkai, Zhang Shizhao and others stepped forward to shake hands with Song Jiaoren and Wu Shaoting one by one. Everyone said take care of themselves, and then stopped outside the platform to watch Song Jiaoren, Wu Shaoting and others get on the train.

Wu Shaoting only brought Deng Keng and two other entourages today. He originally planned to bring more people, but Song Jiaoren thought this was too artificial and there were not so many train tickets. The reason why Song Jiaoren allowed Wu Shaoting to bring three entourages was mainly to consider the safety of the governor of Wu Shaoting, the province. He did not think that he would have any accidents.

"I'm so old, it's the first time I've taken the train." Wu Shaoting accompanied Song Jiaoren to the platform where the car was located, and said with a self-deprecating smile.

"This is a strange story. It's really the first time you took the train?" Song Jiaoren was amused.

"Yes, I basically take a boat when I travel. But when I was in the UK, I took a railroad car, squeezing around, shaking around, like a boat." Wu Shaoting said with a smile.

"Haha. When I arrive in Beijing, I will definitely pay attention to the issue of China's railways. Try to win back all the railways sold from foreigners. Mr. Sun once imagined a railway map for China's future, which I think is very good. I hope that one-third of this railway map can be achieved during my term of office. Then you will not have to take a boat from Guangdong to Beijing and Shanghai." Song Jiaoren said seriously with a tone.

Wu Shaoting nodded deeply and said in the same tone: "Okay, I'll wait for this day. Railways are not just transportation, and it's not good for foreigners to master them. I hate the unscrupulous businessmen in the Qing Dynasty the most. Anyone who gave the railway rights to foreigners should be killed."

At this time, a vendor pushing a food truck appeared in front of him. Wu Shaoting ordered a follower to buy some melon seeds.

Just as the melon seeds were weighing, a woman's complaint came from the crowd not far behind her: "Pus is to die, why are you squeezed? No one would rather teach me to raise me!"

Wu Shaoting had a bad premonition. He quickly turned around and looked at him. He saw that a figure rushed towards this side in the crowd behind him. The man was wearing a patched jacket, a numb hat on his head, and his fluffy hair covered his face. He couldn't see who he was. He subconsciously took a step in front of Song Jiaoren, and reached into his suit and held the handle of the Browning pistol.

Deng Keng saw him and became alert. He turned around in Wu Shaoting's gaze, turned half of his body to block Wu Shaoting, and reached back to touch the gun.

However, when the man rushed to the front, he realized that he was a odd-worker at a train station.

Deng Keng looked back at Wu Shaoting, but he didn't say a word, but just breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Shaoting pulled out his hand and tidied up his suit. He felt a little sad. It seemed that he was too nervous!

Song Jiaoren also turned around at this time, and he asked a little strangely: "Zhenzhi, what's wrong?"

Wu Shaoting smiled indifferently and said as if nothing had happened: "It's nothing. Let me see if Mr. Zhongkai and the others have gone back. If they haven't returned, I will wave goodbye to them."

Song Jiaoren smiled and said, "You are really mean."

Just as Wu Shaoting thought a false alarm had just passed, he suddenly saw a figure flashing ten meters behind Song Jiaoren. The man dressed as a rickshaw driver, holding a Mauser pistol in his hand. A passenger on the side saw the pistol and immediately screamed: "He has a gun, he has a gun!" But it was too late to remind him. The rickshaw driver had raised his pistol and pointed it at the back of Song Jiaoren's head.

Everything changed so quickly that Wu Shaoting was almost overwhelmed. He didn't even have time to shout, so he directly reached out and grabbed Song Jiaoren's collar and pulled him hard behind him. At the same time, he rushed forward as much as possible, lifted up the hem of his suit, and pulled out the Browning pistol.

"Bang bang"! Mauser fired two shots.

"Bang"! Browning fired a shot.

The first bullet of the killer hit Song Jiaoren's hat, wiped Song Jiaoren's hair, and hit a passenger. The second bullet was deviated because of the recoil of the Mauser pistol, and it rubbed over Wu Shaoting's shoulder and passed by Deng Keng's body. Fortunately, Deng Keng was pulling the gun at the time, and his body was shifted a few inches, and he was lucky to avoid the bullet.

Wu Shaoting was unstable due to hastily pulling his gun and almost no aim. He just fired with instinct, intending to scare the killer. His bullet hit the killer's left palm, and his huge power penetrated his metacarpal bones, and then accidentally injured a passenger behind him.

The killer screamed in pain, and his whole body tilted for a moment. He endured the pain and raised his gun and wanted to shoot again. However, at this time, Deng Keng and the other two followers had already pulled out the gun and opened fire at this side without hesitation.

The platform was suddenly in chaos, and the crowd was shaking in fear while screaming heart-wrenchingly. The passengers who were accidentally injured by bullets fell in a pool of blood and groaned. It turned out that they were just injured, but the crowd who were fleeing in a mess was trampled to death. Seeing that the assassination failed, the killer could only save his life, so he simply took advantage of the chaotic crowd to escape.

"You two go chase and live! Shi Yuan, come with me to protect the fisherman." Wu Shaoting immediately ordered.

The two followers chased out along the blood on the ground. Wu Shaoting and Deng Keng helped Song Jiaoren up. Song Jiaoren might not be shocked, and his face was pale. He never expected this to happen. His heart beat faster and could not calm down for a long time.

Wu Shaoting pulled Song Jiaoren's collar in his suit and asked loudly: "Are you okay?"

Song Jiaoren looked down at himself, touched his hair again, and shook his head weakly to show that he was fine.

At this time, Wu Shaoting and Deng Keng used a color, and Deng Keng immediately grabbed Song Jiaoren's shoulder with force, controlling Song Jiaoren to prevent him from moving, and at the same time tried to block the sight of the escaping passengers with their bodies. Before Song Jiaoren could react, Wu Shaoting pulled out a short dagger.

"Shocked, what are you going to do!" Song Jiaoren was shocked. He never expected Wu Shaoting to kill him.

Wu Shaoting didn't say a word, grabbed Song Jiaoren's hand, cut a knife into the palm of his hand with a dagger, and blood immediately overflowed. Then he put away the dagger, and Deng Keng also let go of Song Jiaoren. Song Jiaoren looked panicked and confused, and the doubt in his eyes almost exceeded the panic in his heart. What is he doing?

"Brother Fisherman, listen, I don't have any extra time to explain to you now. Do what I say, I won't harm you. Hurry up and cover your stomach with your hands and pretend you were shot." Wu Shaoting lowered his voice and said quickly.

"What? This... why is this?" Song Jiaoren couldn't help asking.

Wu Shaoting grabbed Song Jiaoren's bleeding hand, pressed it on his abdomen, and said with a sincere look: "I will explain to you when I arrive at the hospital. You should do what I say now. If you believe me, I will never harm you."

Looking at Wu Shaoting's serious face, Song Jiaoren hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He covered his stomach with his bleeding hands, pretending to be shot in his abdomen, and blood flowed out of his fingers, and it looked decent. Wu Shaoting and Deng Keng carried Song Jiaoren like walking outside the station. When they first arrived at the waiting room, the train station manager and the Kuomintang sent-off staff who had no time to leave all ran over.

Seeing this scene, these people quickly started asking questions.

Wu Shaoting shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, prepare to go to the hospital, go out of the way!"

Liao Zhongkai, Zhang Shizhao and Yu Youren drove away the crowd and hurried up. When they saw Song Jiaoren being shot, they were all shocked. They heard Wu Shaoting shouting to get out of the way and quickly sent someone to the hospital. Then they did not ask much, cleared a road ahead, leading Wu Shaoting, Song Jiaoren and Deng Keng to quickly walk out of the railway station.

There were some bold reporters outside the train who had not escaped yet. They raised their cameras to take a scene of Song Jiaoren staining blood.

After getting into the car, Wu Shaoting ordered the driver to go to the nearest Shanghai-Nanjing Railway Hospital. Because Liao Zhongkai was sitting in front, Wu Shaoting had no chance to say anything to Song Jiaoren in the car, but just signaled Song Jiaoren to continue pretending. Liao Zhongkai was very anxious and asked about Song Jiaoren's situation and then what happened. Wu Shaoting briefly explained the situation at the scene and told his subordinates that they were already chasing the murderer.
