Chapter 218 The Beacon Yacht is Gone
"Oh, I thought I was the only one who had it."
Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then curiously pressed on, "You got them by chance? How many did you get? And who did you give them to?"
"Don't ask." Yan Shuo said calmly, gently pinching her cheek without saying anything more.
These are things that it's not convenient for Liu Yan to know too much about.
Liu Yan pouted, but didn't give up, and continued to ask, "Sister Yaoyao has one, right? She's closest to you."
Yan Shuo smiled helplessly and nodded: "Yes."
"Sister Su Ling must have one too, right? Sister Su Ling is so capable, you must have given her one as well."
"Yes." Yan Shuo nodded again.
"Where's Xiaohong? Xiaohong has always been with you, she must be here too!"
"have."
"What about Xiaomi? Xiaomi has been following you on missions, so she should be of use too, right?"
"She doesn't need it." Yan Shuo shook his head.
"Who else has it? Tell me quickly!" Liu Yan persisted, gently shaking his arm and asking coquettishly.
"Don't ask anymore. If it's not something you should know, then don't ask." Yan Shuo's tone became a bit serious, but it was still gentle.
"Okay." Liu Yan pouted, looking aggrieved, then her eyes lit up. She leaned close to his ear, her tone teasing and jealous, "They all slept with you, didn't they? You heartless womanizer!"
"Who is it? What nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Shuo shook his head with a smile, looking helpless.
"I'm not lying!" Liu Yan pouted, reached out and gently tickled Yan Shuo, saying coquettishly, "You heartless rascal, I'll tickle you to death!"
"Nonsense! If you keep this up, I'll teach you a lesson!" Yan Shuo laughed, took her hand, lowered his head, and gently kissed her lips.
"Hmm!" Liu Yan stiffened for a moment, then relaxed, closed her eyes, and responded to him.
The tavern was dimly lit, and the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. The fatigue and tension of the day transformed into tenderness and affection at this moment.
As dawn broke and the east began to lighten, Yan Shuo immediately got up and called Li Gang over.
He leaned back in his chair and gently instructed, "Li Gang, take a group of men and immediately go to lie in ambush near the residences of Shiraishi Kazuo and Arai Yuyo. Carefully observe the layout of their houses and their defenses, and remember the shift changes, the number of guards, and the patterns of people coming and going."
Li Gang immediately straightened up and respectfully replied, "Yes, sir! I'll arrange it right away."
"Wait, there's one more thing," Yan Shuo raised his hand to stop him, adding, "Don't deal with them today. The key is to observe and get a clear picture of the situation. These men are from the 13th Division. They massacred the city on the front lines and fled to the military police headquarters to avoid trouble. They have the blood of tens of thousands of our people on their hands. How can we let them get away with this? Remember, take as many photos as possible, and bring plenty of quick-thinking men. I'll go check on them tonight. Also, be careful; if they request reinforcements or attract reinforcements during their operation, you must have contingency plans!"
Upon hearing this, Li Gang's eyes instantly turned cold. He clenched his fists, his tone filled with suppressed anger, yet he maintained his respectful demeanor towards Yan Shuo: "Understood! Rest assured, sir! These two beasts have slaughtered my people, their blood debts are countless. I will keep a close eye on them, thoroughly investigate the layout of their houses and their defenses, leaving no detail overlooked. I will cooperate fully with you, sir, to make them pay in blood!"
After saying that, he nodded solemnly again, turned around and left quickly, his steps even faster than before, clearly angered by the words "massacre of the city".
After Li Gang left, Yan Shuo quickly tidied up and headed towards the Huangpu River naval port.
At this time, there was already some activity at the dock. The streetlights on the shore were still on, and they blended with the morning light, creating a sense of tranquility. Only the river in the distance rippled gently, lapping against the rocks on the shore and making soft sounds.
As soon as he reached the hiding place where he had previously ambushed, the two weapon dolls he had left at the dock immediately and silently came to his side, clearly reporting the situation: "Sir, of the two yachts we left to monitor last night, one of them has already set sail ahead of schedule. According to the beacon signal, the yacht is about to reach the signal limit distance, which is more than 100 kilometers away."
Yan Shuo nodded slightly, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Who are the people on the yacht? Is there anything unusual?"
"The yacht is full of Japanese soldiers, no particularly important personnel, and all soldiers are armed," the weapon-wielding doll continued her report, speaking steadily without any pauses. "According to remote observation, the yacht is equipped with heavy weapons, including machine guns, grenade launchers, and anti-aircraft machine guns. There are more than 300 soldiers on board, and the other crew members are 7 people I saw, and 18 female waitresses. There was a middle-aged man who looked like a manager, and a woman who looked like a foreman. Judging from their voices, they were speaking Japanese, so I suspect they are Japanese."
"More than three hundred people, and equipped with so many heavy weapons?" Yan Shuo's lips curled into a cold smile, and he instantly understood the reason. "In that case, this yacht that went out to sea was not carrying Xianyuan Gong Chunren at all. It should be his guard team, who went out to sea in advance to scout out the route, check for potential safety hazards along the way, and prevent accidents."
He looked up at another luxury yacht docked at the pier. The yacht was still quiet. The cleaning ladies on board had long since left, leaving only a few guards in plain clothes, who were hiding around the yacht, vigilantly observing their surroundings.
"The remaining ship is the one that Shizuin-miya Haruhito and the others are going to take. It seems they are waiting for their guests to arrive."
Yan Shuo's gaze swept over the docked yacht, and he could vaguely see what was happening inside.
Inside the yacht were more than thirty women dressed in beautiful kimonos. The crew consisted of eight women, including a woman who looked like a foreman. From a distance, the foreman's figure and demeanor looked exactly like Fujii Chinatsu.
Fujii Chinatsu? Ha, serves you right for being unlucky.
If I kill Xianyuan Gong Chunren, you who are by his side will naturally not live long either!
It was too close to the yacht, only a few hundred meters away, so Yan Shuo didn't dare to take out his binoculars to investigate. Who knew if the pedestrians nearby were spies?
Although Yan Shuo had Xiao Zhi's marker as a hint, he was currently disguised as a fisherman. If he looked around, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. If he alerted the people on the other side, things would not be fun.
Yan Shuo raised his hand to look at his watch. The hands pointed to a little after 10 a.m. He leaned against a tree trunk on the shore, thinking and muttering to himself, "According to the usual human hospitality practices, the time to receive guests is either around 12 p.m. or around 1 p.m., which are the most common peak times; or to start receiving guests at 11 a.m. and then arrange meals immediately, which is both time-saving and thoughtful."
"We can't possibly choose to receive guests at night. If we do, it won't be about serious business; they'll probably just be there to have fun."
