Chapter 74 The Moon of Yesteryear
It wasn't too far from Shanghai, just a remote place. Xie Ning thought Fujita Soseki would take him directly to Shanghai, but to his surprise, the other party took him directly onto a train to Yanjing.
But Xie Ning didn't think their destination was Yanjing. They probably wanted to take her to the Northeast. The Northeast... Shenyang... Xie Ning remembered that in 1931, when the Japanese army invaded the Northeast, they seized the Shenyang Arsenal. It was built by Zhang Jianli and could be said to be the largest arsenal in the country at that time. To verify the authenticity of what she gave her, it would naturally be necessary to have a professional look at it.
If she went there, it would be like plunging into a wolf's den, with virtually no chance of escape. Of course, the blueprints she had given her before were also fake, just scraps. Laymen might not understand them and might even think they were impressive, but experts could tell at a glance that they were utterly useless blueprints. Since her sincerity was fake, Xie Ning felt it was better not to test the Japanese's patience too easily.
Therefore, she had to try to escape on the road. Xie Ning was surprised because Fujita Soseki hadn't interrogated her at all along the way. For the sake of her own life, Xie Ning cooperated in her actions.
However, she has no freedom at all now. She is closely followed by a female agent, Mieko, who seems to be quite skilled. Fujita Soseki and three other male agents are also with her, so she has no chance to escape.
As Xie Ning walked through the narrow aisle of the train, she looked down at her tightly bound hands and sighed silently. There were quite a few people standing in the aisle who couldn't afford seats, but they were all ordinary people. Even if there were Kuomintang members among them, Xie Ning didn't want to make a sound. That gun was deadly, and she didn't want to gamble with her life.
Fortunately, the train was not moving fast, and if they could find an opportunity, they might be able to jump off and escape.
Fujita Soseki bought a ticket for a small private room, which consisted of only a long table in the middle and fixed sofas on both sides. It was only about two or three square meters, enough for four people. Many people in the corridor were looking inside, which displeased Fujita Soseki. He quickly closed the door. If he hadn't been pressed for time, he wouldn't have bought such a small private room. Not only was it small, but the soundproofing was also poor, making it difficult to ask certain questions.
Through the crack in the private room, Xie Ning's eyes widened slightly. Xiao Yang? How did he catch up with us?
For an entire afternoon, Xie Ning secretly observed Fujita Soseki and the others. Even if one of them had to leave, they would always leave two people behind to watch over him.
The scenery outside the window flashed by, and Xie Ning sighed again. She didn't think she could beat two people with her skills. If she was even a step slower, the other person's bullet could hit her head. But if she had help, it would be a different story.
As darkness fell, Xie Ning said to Mei Huizi beside him, "I need to go to the restroom."
Mihoko frowned, exchanged a glance with Fujita Soseki across from her, and after receiving permission, patted the other person on the shoulder. The two of them then followed closely behind Xie Ning, watching her walk towards the restroom.
As Xie Ning passed through the narrow passage, he gently touched the person wearing a straw hat and a gray coarse cloth jacket who was leaning against the wall of the car.
Before entering the restroom, Xie Ning turned around, her face flushed from holding her breath. She feigned embarrassment and began to speak to Mei Huizi, "I..."
Xie Ning glanced at the other male agent and lowered her voice even further, "I'm on my period, do you have... menstrual pads?"
Mei Huizi was stunned for a moment, then realized what Xie Ning was talking about. She cursed under her breath for being so troublesome, but still took out a small box from her pocket and gave it to Xie Ning.
"I... I'm not very good at using this kind of thing. Could you come in and teach me?"
Mei Huizi glanced at Xie Ning suspiciously, but when she thought about how Xie Ning was tied up, unarmed, and unskilled, she doubted that she was overthinking it.
Because Xie Ning's hands were tied in front of his body, which only restricted his movements but did not hinder his other actions, Mei Huizi did not untie Xie Ning.
Of course, having his hands tied wouldn't stop Xie Ning from firing. The moment Mihoko turned around, Xie Ning took out a pistol from his spatial storage and shot her straight in the back of the head.
A gunshot rang out, startling not only the man outside the door but also the others in the carriage, who screamed in fright. Xie Ning only opened the bathroom door after hearing another gunshot.
Xiao Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xie Ning was unharmed. He quickly stepped forward to help Xie Ning untie his hands. Xie Ning glanced at the passengers staring at them in horror and whispered, "Jump off the train. There are still three people here."
When Fujita Soseki arrived, he only saw two corpses. "Useless! He couldn't even keep an eye on a woman!"
However, he still had to calm himself down and ask the people next to him what had happened. He was even angrier when he learned that Xie Ning had help. Xie Ning had been under their noses the whole way. How did she manage to contact someone else?
Moreover, Mei Huizi entered the bathroom with Xie Ning, and Xie Ning actually killed her? You know, Mei Huizi's skills are not bad! As a result, Fujita Soseki is even more certain that Xie Ning is skilled in martial arts, even more so than the specially trained Mei Huizi. If he catches Xie Ning again next time, he must cripple her first. If her legs are broken, she can't run away, but as long as her hands can still draw, that will be fine.
Xie Ning and her accomplices jumped out of the car and escaped. Fujita Soseki did not hesitate any longer and jumped out of the car with his men to give chase.
After Xie Ning and Xiao Yang jumped out of the car, they didn't linger. Instead, they randomly chose a direction and ran. They were in the middle of nowhere and didn't know where they were, but running was the only option.
