Chapter 46 The Moon of Yesteryear
Fujita Mitsuha took a deep breath. "Alright, Miss Xie, please go to that room and wait." Anyway, everyone in this house is one of her people. A woman who can't even kill a chicken is just a little clever. She can't escape anyway.
Xie Ning leisurely carried a bunch of peach branches into the room. There were guards all the way, which was really a lot of trouble. Looking out of the room window, there were still two guards standing in the courtyard. The gardener who was just pruning the flowers had disappeared.
Xie Ning silently calculated the location and distance, then took a small bottle from the room and inserted a trimmed peach branch into it.
"I didn't expect Miss Xie to have such refined tastes." A deep voice came from behind. Xie Ning was suspicious. The voice seemed to be deliberately lowered. No wonder it sounded familiar. When she first disguised herself as a man, she couldn't control her voice well. Later, she went to find that ventriloquist and learned a little bit, which made her speak much more naturally.
Turning his head, he recognized the two people who had come in, except for one who was wearing a military uniform: Fujita Mitsuha and the beautiful woman in men's clothing, Ms. Yoshiko.
Xie Ning suppressed the shock in her eyes. She remembered that she had clearly hit Fangzi in the chest last time, so why was Fangzi still alive?
Fujita Mitsuha stepped forward and introduced Xie Ning, "This is Mr. Jin, and this is Admiral Shiozawa. If you have any requests, please feel free to discuss them with them."
After saying that, he stepped aside to prepare tea.
Xie Ning placed the vase on the low table and said casually, "I wonder what you two can offer us. Let's think it over before we talk. After all, forcing someone is never as pleasant as having them cooperate willingly, is it?"
Fangzi and Yanze exchanged a glance, surprised that Xie Qing was so compliant. It seemed she had harbored ulterior motives all along. Indeed, what good development could she expect from staying in China? However, they weren't sure what Xie Qing really wanted. If they offered too little, she wouldn't be satisfied; if they offered too much, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves. So, they simply passed the buck back to her.
"What are Miss Xie and Mr. Xie's requirements? Please tell us so we can make arrangements."
Yanze spoke generously, but what he was thinking was that if Mr. Xie was willing, he would definitely try to win him over to his side first. After all, there was a lot of power struggle among them. However, Fangzi still had doubts and remained silent.
Even though she was the one who suggested the plan to lure Xie Qing over, she still felt uneasy when Xie Qing actually arrived, as if something was amiss.
Xie Ning stood up, holding the flower branch. "Alright, since General Shiozawa is being so frank, then I won't stand on ceremony either. What I want is..."
At this moment, Xie Ning walked to a corner of the room near the courtyard wall, turned around, and silently spoke, "Your lives!"
The gardener outside, looking at the half-closed window, had just dealt with the two guards in the yard when suddenly there was a loud bang and a wave of heat hit him. As if remembering something, he ran inside like a madman.
Inside the room, Xie Ning carefully put away the thick iron shield, raised his gun, and fired shots at the heads of the other three people in the room. One mistake was enough.
"You, you're the culprit..." The other two lay unconscious on the ground, it was unclear whether they were truly dead, but Fujita Mitsuha was still alive, though he was covered in shrapnel wounds and burns. The bombs primarily caused shrapnel injuries and shockwave damage.
Furthermore, the size of the shock wave can be determined by adjusting the amount of explosives inside the bomb. The shock wave will cause the air to vibrate and pressure beams and spread rapidly in all directions. As long as it comes into contact with the human body within the kill range, it will impact the human body, compress blood vessels and cause internal bleeding, compress internal organs and cause organ damage, etc. In addition to the damage caused by shrapnel, at that distance, it can be said that death is certain.
However, Xie Ning was still worried, so she actually saw that Fujita Mitsuha, who was some distance away, wasn't quite dead yet, and quickly fired a finishing shot.
Bang--
With the final gunshot, Fujita Mitsuha stared wide-eyed, then breathed her last.
The guards outside must have all rushed over. Xie Ning ran straight towards the courtyard wall and bumped into the slightly hunchbacked gardener. The gardener's heart finally settled when he saw Xie Ning was unharmed.
"Miss Xie, over here!"
The ladder was already set up. Xie Ning praised the gardener for being efficient and then quickly climbed up the wall. There were faint gunshots behind him. After he climbed over the wall and landed on the ground, Xie Ning realized that the gardener had been shot in the leg.
But there's no time to waste. Xie Ning dragged the person into the car and shouted, "Drive quickly, straight out of the city!"
She killed the commander, so why not run away now? Although she was extremely nervous when she did it, she felt really good after killing him!
There will be some chaos here for a while.
Cai Huai pursed his lips tightly, stepped on the gas, and sped off.
As soon as the explosion rang out at Xie Ning's location, several other explosions followed, throwing the entire overseas Chinese community into chaos. Those who had been secretly causing trouble took the opportunity to escape.
Far away in the French Concession, Aunt Liu burned the last piece of draft paper, locked the gate, and slowly left the city with her bundle.
"Bear with it for now, I'll dig the bullet out for you when we get there."
Xie Ning pulled off the ribbon from her head and used it to bandage the gardener's femoral artery to stop the bleeding. "By the way, what's your name? You're really good at fighting."
Not only did they silently eliminate the guards in the courtyard, but they also covered the rear and killed several guards who were chasing after them.
"They all call me Blind Wang, you..."
Xie Ning smiled brightly, "Brother Wang, with your skills, it would be a waste to do nothing. Would you like to stay by my side?"
Wang the Blind did not respond, and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I am honored that Miss Xie thinks highly of me, but I have a younger brother, and I am afraid I cannot wholeheartedly serve Miss Xie."
The main reason he agreed to let Liu Ping go alone to the Japanese residence to cooperate with Xie Ning was because he was interested in the generous reward. His younger brother had a disease caused by affluence, and no amount of money was enough. This job would cover his brother's medical expenses for five years.
Xie Ning didn't insist, saying, "This matter has become so big, it's better to go out and hide for a while. You're injured again. If you don't mind, you can stay in my courtyard to recover for a while. Your younger brother can come and take care of you. You can leave after you've recovered."
Wang the Blind Man understood Xie Ning's good intentions perfectly. After thinking it over, he didn't refuse. He needed to recover from his injuries before he could go out to work again, and the hardships of life prevented him from taking a break.
Even if Blind Wang didn't go to her courtyard, Xie Ning would have arranged another place for him, not only for Blind Wang, but also for many others involved in the matter.
With such a big commotion, the higher-ups will definitely investigate; she can't leave any loose ends.
