Chapter 40 That's truly amazing! It seems to have sped up considerably.
"No need for that. The gun is yours, bye!"
Since she couldn't win an argument or a fight, Su Meng decided to leave first.
However, Huo Zhenhua simply stretched out his long arm and grabbed the back of her clothes again, saying, "It's not that easy for you to leave."
He met Su Meng's murderous gaze and parted his thin lips slightly: "Someone from above is looking for you."
Su Meng: "???"
above?
Foreign guests are visiting Shanghai again; do they need her as a stepping stone?
"Oh, I see! Thank you for letting me know. I won't take up any more of your time."
Perhaps it was the darkness that gave her boundless courage; Su Meng not only dared to speak sarcastically to him, but also dared to look him in the eye.
Now, Shen Wuyang is meeting with Xiaoben right under Huo Zhenhua's nose. I believe she doesn't need to worry about it; she can send Shen Wuyang to hell.
This is much more satisfying than shooting him in the head.
She lifted her foot to leave, but someone still grabbed her collar.
"What do you mean by this?" Su Meng gritted her teeth and moved closer to him, her eyes darting around as she changed tactics. "Are you reluctant to part with me, or are you teasing me?"
Thinking back to how it felt that day, her fingers curled up, thinking that letting her touch it again wasn't impossible...
Huo Zhenhua remained silent, watching her quietly.
His dark eyes gleamed in the darkness, like a beast lurking in the shadows, dangerous yet with a hint of amusement.
"Daydreaming!" He glanced in the direction of the birdsong, then his hand slipped and he grabbed her collar instead. "Hurry up! Don't hold me back."
Su Meng: "......."
She was speechless.
But being curious about what Shen Wuyang and the others were up to, she stopped struggling.
At that moment, Shen Wuyang followed the small notebook out of the woods and into the reeds beside it.
"Where are we going?" Shen Wuyang's mind was completely focused on the Su family's supplies, and she didn't hear what Xiaoben was saying at all.
The notebook looked at him unhappily, "I'll take you to see Mr. Nakata."
If the supplies on both ships hadn't been stolen, leaving them unable to explain themselves, Mr. Nakata wouldn't have risked exposing his whereabouts by urgently summoning him.
But the fact that he had a village girl with him at such a critical moment was simply troublesome.
The village girl was Luo Yaoguo's daughter, Luo Shuangyan. She couldn't understand what Xiaobenzi was saying, but she sensed Xiaobenzi's malice and subconsciously hid next to Shen Wuyang.
"Brother Chen, shall we go to Hong Kong now?"
She looked at Shen Wuyang cautiously, her heart filled with a mixture of excitement and fear.
She discovered for the first time that Shen Wuyang was very familiar with the people of Japan, and their relationship might be even better than she had thought.
But wasn't he a businessman from Shanghai who came to Luocun to invest?
She still remembers the first time Shen Wuyang came to Luo Village, she smiled and carefully talked to her father about the investment profit sharing.
That's exactly the image of a shrewd, mercenary, and inland nouveau riche who clutches his purse tightly.
When did he become so assertive?
Luo Shuangyan frowned and pondered.
It seems like it all started about five years ago when this abandoned dock suddenly became spacious and clean...
It seems that from that time on, several unfamiliar faces would occasionally appear in Luo Village.
It was around that time that she met Mr. Nakata.
Could it be that he brought the people from Japan here?
Luo Shuangyan's palms were sweating profusely. She glanced at the silent Shen Wuyang, her heart pounding with anxiety.
"Brother Chen?"
Shen Wuyang turned and glared at her. "Shut up!"
Luo Shuangyan felt a sudden panic and a chill ran through her body.
She felt that the man was completely unfamiliar, lacking all the gentleness, refinement, and tenderness he once possessed.
At that moment, she wanted to go back.
"The fire over at the warehouse is out, Brother Chen, should I go back and help?"
Before Shen Wuyang could say anything, the notebook's sharp, icy gaze fell upon him. "Shut up!"
Su Meng and the others following behind didn't hear what they said, but judging from their expressions, they must have had a dispute.
Dressed as a fisherman, Su Meng gripped the brim of her fisherman's hat with both hands, looked at the large ship carrying Shen Wuyang, and said quietly, "We can't catch up with them at this speed."
Before long, even the waves behind them will be unable to catch up.
Wang Qinglin stood beside the diesel engine of the small fishing boat, his face full of bitterness. "But this is the only fishing boat we can mobilize."
Before he could finish speaking, the engine sputtered twice and stalled completely!
Wang Qinglin: "......"
When it rains, it pours!
Now we really can't even catch up with their shadows.
Huo Zhenhua rolled up his sleeves to take a look, then gripped the handle and cranked the diesel engine hard.
But the diesel engine only made one or two noises before it stopped responding.
"Damn it!" He dropped the crank handle and went to check the oil pipes and wiring.
They got their hands covered in oil, but made no progress.
Su Meng couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him aside, "I'll do it!"
She could tell what the problem was just by listening to the sound.
After cleaning the parts, she made some minor modifications.
"alright!"
She picked up the crank handle, got into position, and cranked it twice with all her might.
The next second, the diesel engine started running normally, and the sound was crisper than before, with much less noise.
Huo Zhenhua glanced at her silently, then quietly squatted down to wash his hands.
Ignoring the dirt on his hands and face, Wang Qinglin steered his boat and gave chase at high speed.
On the speeding fishing boat, his excited shout rang out: "Hey! That's amazing! It seems to be much faster."
Su Meng smiled and carefully cleaned the oil stains from her fingernails with the splashing waves.
Warm golden rays shone directly from the sea, enveloping the giggling little girl in their warm glow, her dimples like jars of fine golden wine.
The intoxicated person is unaware of their own intoxication.
For a moment, Huo Zhenhua was stunned.
The fishing boat suddenly accelerated, and the splashing waves brought him back to reality.
He blinked and moved closer to Su Meng. "I heard you studied mechanical engineering?"
Su Meng turned her head, pointed to the tip of her nose, and answered loudly, "You're asking me? Yes! I studied mechanical engineering and drafting."
Huo Zhenhua nodded without saying anything.
No wonder the leader said that Su Meng must be brought back safely; she was the person the director of the Shanghai Machinery Research Institute specifically requested.
Recalling the scene of Su Meng repairing the diesel engine, Huo Zhenhua leaned over and asked, "Did you do anything else while you were repairing it?"
Clearly, after Su Meng's intervention, the diesel engine seemed to work harder, and the fishing boat moved faster.
Su Meng raised her chin smugly, "Just casually repaired some old ailments."
Huo Zhenhua leaned against the railing, one hand on the railing and the other playing with a lighter.
Hearing her say that, he paused in his playful actions, then smiled and gazed at her.
"Oh?" he drawled casually, his voice slightly raised at the end. "So capable! How come you haven't gone to space yet?"
Su Meng: "......"
His mouth wasn't meant for speaking.
A perfectly normal conversation can turn into a completely different situation after just one or two sentences.
She laughed in exasperation, "How did you grow up? Did you eat poison?"
Is it so hard to acknowledge that others are excellent?
His mouth is like a sprayer, spewing out nothing but poison.
Upon hearing her thoughts, Huo Zhenhua awkwardly touched his chin, wondering if he really didn't know how to have a conversation.
Judging from her stingy attitude and sour face, you can tell she's really offended you.
Just then, Wang Qinglin pointed ahead and said, "Look! Doesn't that ship look familiar?"
