Anti war ranger

Chapter 46
Lu Yuan, with a flashlight on, walked slowly into the secret room made of steel plates, but after he saw the situation in the secret room clearly, Lu Yuan curled his lips secretly to express his extreme dissatisfaction.Entering the secret room, the shelves on several walls were covered with porcelain calligraphy and paintings. Lu Yuan searched around the secret room with a flashlight, only to find more than a dozen unopened volumes of Ocean and about several thousand dollars in French currency.There was only this little money in the secret room of the director of the anti-smuggling bureau. Lu Yuan was full of doubts, especially he felt that the porcelain calligraphy and paintings on the shelf seemed not very valuable.

Lu Yuan doesn't understand such antiques as porcelain, calligraphy and painting, but Lu Yuan, who comes from later generations, has always been influenced by the upsurge of collecting in later generations. Is this just a trick of the Huang family?The doubts in Lu Yuan's heart became more and more serious.Looking at the time again, Lu Yuan began to touch and move the porcelain calligraphy and paintings placed on the shelves, trying to find out strange things from them.Lu Yuan decided that if the Huang family deliberately placed some cheap antiques in the secret room, then there must be strange things in the steel secret room that the Huang family built with painstaking efforts.

Touching and moving all the items on the shelf in the secret room, Lu Yuan didn't find anything unusual, but he didn't give up because of this, and turned his attention to the square floor tiles under his feet.Since the Huang family has spent such a price to build such a steel secret room underground, why bother laying floor tiles?Lu Yuan squatted down, took out a short knife from the storage space, and then tapped the floor tiles under his feet one by one with the handle of the knife. Soon, Lu Yuan found something abnormal in the corner of the secret room.

After the two floor tiles near the left corner were struck by the knife handle, they made a different sound from the other floor tiles. Lu Yuan was overjoyed, and then slowly pried up the two floor tiles with a short knife.The two adjacent floor tiles were pried up one after another by Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan saw an iron plate with a pull ring welded on the cement base under the floor tiles. He pulled the iron plate hard, and Lu Yuan's eyes immediately A piece of golden light is reflected.

The gold bars, the rectangular grooves under the iron plate are full of gold bars called big yellow croakers by the butler Fu Bo, and Lu Yuan's breathing gradually became short of breath.The groove in front of him seems to be half a square meter in size. Although Lu Yuan doesn't know how deep the groove is, there can be no less than 100 gold bars on the layer above the groove.Looking at the gold bars covered in the groove, Lu Yuan secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. After calming down for a while, he reached out to touch the gold bars in the groove, and began to collect them into the storage space.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors. Until now, Lu Yuan didn't know how rich the Huang family was. Gold bars called big yellow croakers were laid in this groove for as many as 6 floors. , Lu Yuan also found several exquisite sandalwood boxes at the bottom of the groove.Putting all the gold bars in the groove into the storage space, Lu Yuan, who had no time to delay, returned the iron plates and floor tiles to their original positions, and then picked out a few antiques that he liked on the shelf of the secret room , and those ocean banknotes were all packed into a black backpack, and then quietly returned to the room where the entrance to the basement was hidden.

Returning to the ground room from the basement, Lu Yuan immediately opened the full-view map. On Lu Yuan's full-view map, there was no one else in the small building.Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then left the small building, using the cover of night to return to the place where he had sneaked in through the wall.Lu Yuan sneaked into Huang's house alone. According to Lu Yuan's instructions, Shu Heman drove away from the back wall of Huang's house first, but he didn't go to the cafe to wait as Lu Yuan said, but drove in a car that was far away from Huang's house. Going around in circles a few streets away from home.

Time seemed to pass quickly, and Schuchman, who was waiting anxiously, soon discovered that the time agreed with Lu Yuan had arrived, but Schuchman, who drove back to the scheduled time, did not see Lu Yuan's figure, and continued to wait A few minutes later, Schuchman decided not to wait any longer. He judged that Lu Yuan might have made a mistake.But when he drove to the main entrance of Huang's house, he didn't see any strangeness or panic in the festooned Huang's house. What's going on?Could it be that nothing happened to Lu Yuan, and he just temporarily delayed his return?

With doubts, Shu Heman drove back to the place where he and Lu Yuan were separated from before. Within a minute, Shu Heman saw a black shadow appearing on the back wall of Huang's house, and then he saw Lu Yuan Yuan jumped off the fence with a backpack in his hand. "Hurry up and drive straight ahead." Lu Yuan returned with a backpack and got into the back seat of the car. After the car started, Lu Yuan quickly took off his black night clothes in the back seat of the car, and changed into a A Chinese-style blouse.

Passing by a trash can on the side of the road, Lu Yuan called to stop, and asked Schuchman to throw the night clothes that had been splashed with gasoline into the trash can on fire.After changing out of his night clothes, Lu Yuan really relaxed. Even if he was patrolled by the concession police on the way back to his residence, as long as Schuchman was around, he would have no problems. "Let's go, let's go home. I seem to be a little hungry. Uncle Fu must have prepared something to eat." Reaching out and patting the backpack next to him, Lu Yuan smiled at Schuchman.

On the way back to the residence, Lu Yuan did not encounter the expected patrol, and everything went very smoothly, so smooth that Lu Yuan could not believe it. "Fu Bo, get us something to eat first, I'm starving to death." He didn't have the slightest intention of guarding against Hogg and others. The backpack that came down was handed to Hogg, but he dragged Schuchman into the kitchen.

After hastily filling his stomach, Lu Yuan let Fu Bo, the housekeeper who had been waiting for him, go to rest first, and then took Schuchman and the others upstairs to the study.According to Lu Yuan's instructions, Hogg brought three Germans who had the same experience as him to come here before dark. After waiting for more than an hour, he finally saw Lu Yuan, the backpack that Lu Yuan handed over to him. It can already explain a lot of things, Hogg wisely chose not to ask questions.

"Guys, I know you are very familiar with Hogg. Since you were brought by Hogg, there is no problem on my side. As long as you are willing to accept my employment, I will pay you this week's salary immediately." Lu Yuan took out cigarettes and distributed them to everyone, but he didn't mention the backpack at all, Schuchman also kept silent at this meeting.The Germans who were brought to Lu Yuan's residence by Hogg looked at each other, and finally all their eyes fell on Hogg.

"Boss, they are all people I know well, and they encountered the same troubles as me. They all had to leave Germany because of their wives' Jewish status. This is Freeman, who used to be a very good painter. It's the Claire brothers, the older Claire is a soldier like Schuchmann, and the younger Claire is a supervisor in the factory. This is Schaefer, before leaving Germany, Schaefer was an engineer at the Berlin City Hall." Hogg then told Lu Yuan introduced the identities and backgrounds of several people, and when he learned that the elder brother of the two brothers was once a soldier like Schuchman, Lu Yuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Gentlemen, Hogg and Schuchman were the first people I hired. What I value is character rather than ability. Since you can accept Hogg's invitation to come to me, it means that you have already planned to accept my employment. I plan to, then, I will tell you here the reason why I hired you." Lu Yuan did not intend to hide the people Hogg had found for him, anyway, he would continue to hire more people.

"I have very reliable information that the Japanese are likely to launch a war of aggression against China soon. Shanghai will be their starting point, and China's capital Nanjing will be their key target. The Japanese dare not and will not Use force against foreigners residing in China, so you can rest assured of your own safety. What I worry about are those innocent civilians in Nanjing. According to what I know about the Japanese, once the severely wounded Japanese army breaks through Nanjing, they will definitely vent their anger on the civilians.”

"And this is precisely the reason why I hired you, because I need you to help me go to Nanjing to build a refugee area. After the Japanese army broke through Nanjing, I will try my best to accommodate the civilians in the city who have not had time to evacuate." Lu Yuan finally said his own purpose and plan, while the few Germans who followed Hogg here were already dumbfounded.They originally thought that Hogg's young boss hired him, at most, to act as a bodyguard and thug, but none of them thought that the young boss's purpose would be so crazy.

Lu Yuan saw the shock on the faces of these people, and while signaling Shu Heman to be calm, Lu Yuan immediately smiled at these people. "You may think that what I want you to do is too crazy, and you may even think that I am overwhelmed, but what I want to say is, no matter what, I must do this." While speaking, Lu Yuan put the black backpack that Hogg had brought into the study on the table and opened it, and poured out a pile of oceans and banknotes from the backpack.

"There is an old saying in China that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Besides, what I want you to do is not to fight the Japanese army, but to serve as guards to maintain the order in the containment area. And I can tell you now, my The plan has been supported by the German Consulate. During your stay in Nanjing, you will wear German military equipment and issue German-style weapons. I believe that as long as the Japanese army is not blind, they will never conflict with you.”

As soon as Lu Yuan said the following words, the hearts of Freeman and others fell to the ground. Now that they have obtained the support of the German Consulate, this matter will be much easier to handle, and the Japanese will have great courage. At that time, they would not dare to clash with them who were wearing German military uniforms and equipped with German weapons.Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Lu Yuan laughed secretly, and finally pulled these guys into his own boat.
