Chapter 136: Busy raising a family in a foreign land 136
As soon as Lu Pingsheng finished speaking, two gunshots were heard by Wei Miao's ears.
Then there was a chaotic sound of several slightly panicked screams.
Wei Miao’s thoughts suddenly returned to the entrance of the Xianles Ballroom, when he was protected by Wei Ada.
This was a narrow alley. Under the dim street lights, their car was stuck in the middle. Moving forward or backward did not seem to be the best option.
The person who came was very professional and had planned this for a long time.
Lu Pingsheng calmly looked at the three men who were coming towards him with guns pointed at them. They were wearing black clothes and top hats, and they held guns in both hands and fired several shots at the car, obviously coming for him.
"Ah Miao, lie still. If something happens to me, there is my suicide note on page 88 of the Kangxi Dictionary on the second row of my bookshelf. Please help me fulfill some of my wishes."
Lu Pingsheng looked at Wei Miao who didn't respond and added, "After you help me finish it, all my inheritance will belong to you."
Wei Miao: . . . . .
Lu Pingsheng spoke quickly and urgently. Before Wei Miao could react, he took out a pistol from under the car seat, opened the car door, and shot at the man in black.
Wei Miao didn't listen to him at all. Her sea of consciousness was running at high speed, and the energy from her cultivation in her body was consumed quickly.
The rats, insects and ants hiding in the dark corners nearby seemed to have received some kind of call and quickly rushed towards this direction.
Lu Pingsheng held the gun and quickly looked around. This was a very deserted and narrow alley, and three people were now attacking him from three sides.
Obviously they wanted to capture him alive, so they only used suppressive fire and did not actually shoot him.
Lu Pingsheng thought a lot in an instant. Was he exposed? Was he a member of the Military Control Commission or an underground organization?
Or maybe the Japanese knew that he had touched the gold from HSBC and became desperate?
The last time Sister Xu Lan told him that Li Xiaoya had told the Japanese that sulfa could cure cholera.
He immediately called the General Administration of Customs where he was working and reported that he had accidentally discovered that sulfamethoxazole could treat cholera after being trapped in an alley.
The General Administration of Customs has its own intelligence departments, namely the Military Attaché Intelligence Department and the Marine Corps Intelligence Department.
The Military Attaché Intelligence Office is responsible for exploring ocean terrain and climate, military deployment and airport exploration.
The Marine Corps Intelligence Department is responsible for the deployment of domestic troops and police security corps, as well as suppressing the people in the concessions when war breaks out.
He reported the situation before Li Xiaoya did, and the General Administration of Customs was praised, and he was also praised by his superiors, which was considered a small achievement. . .
While his thoughts were flying, Lu Pingsheng's hands did not stop. The gun shot a man in black, who fell to the ground with a scream.
The other two were shocked when they saw their companion die.
They thought it was a simple mission, but they never expected that the target of the mission was carrying a gun.
"Just hold your breath!" one of them shouted.
The man started to speak, and Lu Pingsheng quickly scanned the man:
"Wu Erniu, male, 24 years old, Qing Gang killer."
Lu Pingsheng spat, "Damn Zhang Er."
Just as he finished cursing, he saw the two people opposite him suddenly jumping up and down on the spot, cursing and screaming.
Wu Erniu was concentrating on shooting at Lu Pingsheng, wanting to kidnap this young man as soon as possible, complete the mission and get the money to have fun with Xiao Taohong.
But suddenly I felt a pain in my ankle, and when I looked down, I screamed.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Pingsheng saw a scene that made him feel incredible. The two men who had been so murderous just now were continuously shooting at the area around him.
"Mr. Lu, follow me!"
The sudden sound behind him startled Lu Pingsheng, and he turned around and pointed the gun at the man's forehead.
The man seemed to be startled, raised his hands, and stammered:
"Mr. Lu, I have no ill intentions. Do you remember that rainy day two months ago when you threw ten French francs and two silver dollars to someone on the street?"
There was no bullet in Lu Pingsheng's gun. He paid attention to the screams and wails of the two killers, but his eyes were looking at the tall young man in a coat in front of him.
"Yang Qiushi, 22 years old, dock laborer."
This person is not in the same group as the men in black, but does that mean a coolie cannot take on the job of killing people to silence them?
Lu Pingsheng was slightly surprised and said, "It's you."
When Yang Qiushi saw that Lu Pingsheng recognized him, he nodded excitedly and whispered:
"Mr. Lu, some of them are still guarding the entrance of the alley. I know there is a place ahead where we can get out..."
Lu Pingsheng naturally would not trust someone easily, even if that person had some connection with him.
"Mr. Lu, I wrote down your license plate number in the rain last time, and then I saw you went to Dachang Coffee Shop to buy something, so I asked around..."
Before Lu Pingsheng could say anything else, he heard the man in black behind him fall to the ground with a thud, groaning in extreme pain.
At the same time, more people in black appeared on the streets.
Lu Pingsheng opened the car door, and under the flickering light, he saw Wei Miao's pale face. He was shocked and didn't care about anything else.
Holding Wei Miao in his arms, he followed Yang Qiushi into the narrow gap.
Naturally, he did not notice that the person chasing him from behind was the same as the two people in front. He first screamed, then shot at his feet, and the scream turned into a cry of pain.
Finally, he curled up on the ground in agony, slapping the things on his body, and screaming in fear and despair:
"Go away, go away."
Yang Qiushi took Lu Pingsheng through many twists and turns and finally stopped under a dilapidated house.
He pushed open the gate. The yard was pitch black and there was no sound. The creaking sound of the door opening was very abrupt.
A mean old lady's voice said:
"Which little jerk is this? Why don't you sleep at night and come home so late?"
Yang Qiushi pushed open the door of his room and closed it gently. He wanted to turn on the light, but Lu Pingsheng didn't let him.
He sat in the moldy and damp room holding Wei Miao, listening to the noises in the entire yard.
It was very quiet, with only occasional whispers. It was only a little after eight o'clock, and it gets dark later in the summer, but it was not necessary to turn off the lights and go to bed so early.
Apparently they all heard the gunshots in the alley.
"A Miao, are you okay?" Lu Pingsheng asked worriedly.
Wei Miao's breathing was relatively stable, but he was a little tired. He said vaguely:
"Brother Lu, stop making noise. I want to take a nap."
Wei Miao is not an ordinary child, how could he fall asleep at such a critical moment?
"Ah Miao, if you feel uncomfortable, tell Brother Lu."
Wei Miao wanted to say, give me two gold bars to prolong my life, but in the end it turned into steady breathing.
Yang Qiushi, a big man, squatted at the door of his house with a wronged look on his face, which made people feel sad for no reason.
"You found out my identity based on a license plate number?"
Lupin moved his hand, wanting to make Wei Miao sleep more comfortably.
He also discovered today that the little brat looked very thin, but he was as heavy as a weight when he was picked up. The food he usually ate was not in vain.
