At this moment, several people were gathered in a spacious and bright room in the Cao family's house. The atmosphere in the room was solemn, and everyone looked at Xie Qi with serious expressions.
Xie Qi looked at Wang Zi and said, "First, dismantle the bombs in the city. When that day comes, I will find a way to let the Chinese troops outside the city in to support you."
Xie Qi looked at Cao Ze again, "Cao Ze, this is for you. It's the antidote. Drink the antidote before you go. I will put the antidote in their wine jugs."
After Xie Qi finished speaking, he looked at the others and said, "When the time comes, I will blow up the enemy camp, and you will take advantage of the chaos to capture the enemy in one fell swoop."
After Xie Qi finished speaking, the rest of the people present looked at each other, and no one spoke for a moment.
After a while, someone finally couldn't contain their doubts and asked, "Mr. Qi, is it really feasible for you to act alone? Not to mention the numerous guards at the city gate, how can you easily dislodge them? And what about drugging them? How would you sneak in and drug them? And the enemy camp is heavily guarded. How could you successfully blow it up alone?"
Before he finished speaking, another person chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Qi, it's not that we intend to doubt your ability. It's just that this matter is of great importance and is truly not an easy task. It's definitely not something that can be accomplished with mere words."
Facing everyone's concerns and doubts, Xie Qi was fearless and replied, "I never say anything verbally. Which of the things I told you before was not completed? And you don't have to worry. Since I have said it, I must have a way to deal with it."
Seeing Xie Qi so confident, everyone couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's the solution?"
Xie Qi: "Their men will listen to me and won't think I'm an undercover agent."
Hearing Xie Qi's words, Wang Zi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Qi, from what you said, you seem to have a high status among them? Can you tell us your true identity?"
Xie Qi: "Not now, you will know later."
After Xie Qi finished speaking, Cao Ze said worriedly, "Can't you even tell us your name? It will be very dangerous later. It's okay if you tell us your name. At least we can take care of you."
Xie Qi was silent for a while, then shook his head and replied, "The name is not acceptable either."
After hearing what Xie Qi said, Cao Ze suddenly became suspicious of Xie Qi's identity. After thinking for a while, he asked doubtfully: "Why not? You don't show up not because you have a birthmark on your face, but because we knew each other before, right?"
Xie Qi took a deep breath and replied: "Yes, all of you know me and have seen me."
Xie Qi's words made everyone present focus their attention on Xie Qi, trying to dig out clues about his true identity from the depths of his eyes.
However, these people only knew him as the notorious and out-and-out playboy.
How could the original owner's turbid and violent eyes be the same as Xie Qi's clear eyes?
Therefore, no matter how they stared or how they racked their brains to recall, they could never recognize that the person in front of them with outstanding temperament and elegant manners was the Xie Qi they remembered.
At this moment, Xie Qi slowly stood up and walked towards the door with firm steps.
When he reached the door, he paused, lowered his head slightly, and spoke again in a low but resolute voice, "Time is running out for us. Please don't dwell on my identity. I guarantee with my integrity that I will never deceive you. As for the specific action plan, just follow the plan we just discussed. If anything unexpected happens along the way, I will contact you promptly."
At this moment, Xie Qi stood quietly at the door with his back to the people inside. The light from outside the door just happened to shine on Xie Qi's slightly lonely figure.
Because of the backlight, the people in the room could only see the bright light like a spotlight on the stage, covering Xie Qi completely, while his figure was hidden and blurred in the strong light.
From a distance, Xie Qi's body seemed to become somewhat unreal.
Cao Ze stared at Xie Qi intently, and suddenly felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
For some reason, he always had a feeling that if he just blinked, the other person would disappear into the air like smoke, never to be seen again.
Driven by this strong intuition, Cao Ze couldn't help but blurt out, "Wait!"
Hearing the voice, Xie Qi moved his body slightly. He wanted to turn his head, but after turning it just a little bit, he seemed to suddenly think of something and stopped the movement abruptly.
He was silent for a moment and said, "Next time, when we meet next time, I will tell you everything."
After saying this, he no longer hesitated and turned around and left resolutely, leaving behind only a back that was getting farther and farther away.
After that, everyone started to take action.
In order not to alert the enemy, Xie Qi used props to make a mannequin that looked like Lan'er and threw it into the dry well in the backyard of the Xie family.
Afterwards, he deliberately let Xie Tianyi see the dummy in the well. After Xie Tianyi saw that the person in the well was wearing the same clothes as Lan'er, he thought that Lan'er was dead, so he ordered the dry well to be filled up directly.
Meanwhile, Wang Zi was tirelessly conducting a thorough investigation of all possible bomb locations throughout the city, decisively cutting off the fuses to ensure the safety of the people.
At the same time, the Chinese army outside the city was on high alert, each one in high spirits, ready to rush into the city at any time.
At this moment, the people in the city were also living in dire straits. Matsui Hisaichi led a large army to occupy the city, and his men were rampant in the streets and alleys without restraint.
These people oppressed the good and bullied the common people, causing unrest and panic in the city.
What is particularly infuriating is that the Xie family openly defected to Matsui Hisaichi, acted as the enemy's running dog, and became Matsui Hisaichi's first supporter.
Such behavior was naturally despised and cursed by many people, and people secretly accused the Xie father and son of being out-and-out traitors.
The people's hatred for the Xie father and son was no less than their hatred for the enemy army, and they all wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.
