Chapter 1388 Xiao Mian Takes Action
Chinachem Hotel.
The restaurant on the eighth floor.
A man with a beard and slightly pockmarked face was enjoying his meal.
This is a seat by the window, with a commanding view of the Huangpu River. The scenery is stunning.
This should be one of the top dining environments in Shanghai, with dark red tables and chairs, green outlines on the beams and columns, and the entire restaurant is dominated by classic Chinese style.
Victor Sassoon's obsession with and love for Eastern culture can be seen in the golden dragon and golden phoenix carved on the ceiling in the center of the restaurant.
The bearded man took out his pocket watch and checked the time, then he snapped his fingers and put an old Lincoln under the plate.
The waiter handed over the hat to Stick attentively.
The bearded man nodded very gentlemanly, put on his top hat, held a stick, and leisurely left the restaurant, then took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor.
The Shanghai Special Intelligence Department agent dressed as a doorman glanced at the bearded man, with admiration and respect in his eyes that he tried hard to conceal.
This was the first time Hua An met Team Leader Xiao Mianxiao. Thinking that he would be on this mission with the team leader, Hua An felt particularly excited.
A black Ford car stopped in front of the Cathay Hotel.
Hua An saw the license plate of the car clearly, and immediately went forward and opened the door politely.
"Mr. Tao Huizong?" Hua An asked.
"It's me." Tao Huizong glanced at the doorman warily.
"Manager Que Yunque arranged for me to come and greet Mr. Tao early on," Hua An said. "Manager Que went to the bathroom. He can't come to greet you in person, so he entrusted me to apologize to you."
Tao Huizong nodded, and then he said to the driver, "Drive the car home first. I will call you if you need the car."
"Yes, sir." The driver said quickly, turned around at the door and drove back to the apartment where the Tao family lived in the French Concession.
Just at this moment, a black car with a taxi phone number printed on it stopped at the door, and a man in a suit and tie got out of the car in a hurry. He glanced at Tao Huizong, seemed to be relieved, and slowly adjusted his tie.
"Mr. Tao, please." Hua An looked at the man calmly.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Tao Huizong said.
"Turn right after entering the door and it's at the end." Hua An said.
He watched Tao Huizong walking towards the restroom, and then noticed that the man standing at the door of the hotel adjusting his tie was also walking towards the restroom.
……
Xiao Mian had run water in the bathroom and was washing his hands at the sink.
He washed his hands roughly, making water all over the floor.
Tao Huizong came to the bathroom and was looking around when he was splashed with water. He couldn't help but frowned, "Be careful."
Xiao Mian glanced at Tao Huizong and frowned, seeming to be very unhappy with the other party's attitude.
Tao Huizong didn't want to cause trouble, so he moved away and went to the bathroom.
Then the bearded man grabbed him by the collar.
"I am Que Yun."
Just when Tao Huizong was about to shout loudly, the bearded man spoke in his ear.
Tao Huizong first looked at the man with half belief and half doubt, but when he saw the other party nod, he suddenly relaxed.
This scene happened to be seen by the man in a suit and tie who followed Tao Huizong in.
At this time, in the corridor outside the restroom, a waiter put a sign on the ground:
The restroom is being cleared and is temporarily closed.
……
The man in a suit frowned at first.
Then he frowned, showing a look of disgust, and said, "What are you doing? This is the most upscale hotel in Shanghai."
"What's it got to do with you?" Xiao Mian looked at the man with a dark face and snorted coldly.
"Sir, do you need me to call someone to deal with it for you?" The man ignored the bearded man and asked Tao Huizong politely.
Hearing what the man in a suit said, the bearded man loosened his grip on Tao Huizong's collar and looked at the man coldly.
"You little jerk, you're looking for death," he said.
Hearing this, the man in a suit suddenly laughed. He pointed at the bearded man and cursed, "Get lost, you ignorant idiot."
"Who are you?" The bearded man looked at the man in the suit with a serious expression and asked with a frown.
"Anyway, he's someone you can't afford to offend." The man in the suit sneered.
"I'm from Dadao City Government." The bearded man said hesitantly.
"Get lost!" the man in the suit said coldly.
"Brother, please be polite." The bearded man's face flushed red, and he reached into his jacket pocket and said angrily, "Here is a business card. Show it to your superiors."
"I'd like to see what kind of business card it is." The man in the suit snorted disdainfully and took two steps forward.
As the bearded man's hand took out his suit pocket, the man in the suit leaned forward slightly.
It was at this time.
Xiao Mian suddenly leaned forward, raised his left hand, and hugged the man in the suit around the neck, covering his mouth at the same time. The blade in his right hand quickly slid across the man's neck.
Almost in an instant, when the blood in his throat was about to gush out, Xiao Mian casually pulled over the thick white towel that had been placed on the washstand and could be used to place items. He skillfully and quickly wrapped it around the neck of the man in the suit, wrapping it tightly, around and around, sucking out the blood that was about to gush out.
……
Tao Huizong was nearby, he was stunned, watching all this in horror and shock.
"No problem, just clean up the garbage." The bearded man smiled at Tao Huizong, "No. 76."
Gudong.
Tao Huizong swallowed his saliva and all he could do was nod subconsciously.
Just at this moment, there was a gentle knock on the bathroom door.
"Come in." Xiao Mian said in a low voice.
Two agents from the Special Intelligence Service dressed as waiters came in.
"Team leader, are you okay?"
"Deal with it well and deal with it cleanly." Xiao Mian said in a deep voice.
"Yes." The two men stepped forward and put a thick windbreaker on the man in the suit, and considerately turned up the collar of the windbreaker, and then supported the newly drunk man on the left and right and walked out.
Xiao Mian looked at his right hand, which had a few drops of blood on its nails. He frowned, turned on the tap, and rinsed it slowly and carefully, muttering to himself, "I'm getting older, and my skills are not as good as before."
Then he smiled and looked at Tao Huizong, "Mr. Tao, time is running out, please follow me."
Tao Huizong nodded and followed the bearded man who had just instantly dealt with Agent No. 76 without saying a word.
When we got to the entrance of the corridor, the bearded man said to the waiter standing by the maintenance sign, "The toilet is clogged, and the floor is so dirty. How do you do business?"
"I'm really sorry, I'll clean it right away." The waiter apologized quickly. He took the maintenance sign and placed it in the middle of the corridor, then walked towards the bathroom carrying a bucket and mop.
……
Tao Huizong followed the fierce Manager Que out of the bathroom corridor, turned right, walked along the corridor to the end, turned left and walked a few dozen steps, and came to a hidden side door.
"This is the small door for employees to use." Manager Que turned and said to Tao Huizong.
"Ah."
When I walked out of the small door, a black Citroen car had been waiting for a long time.
An agent from the Special Affairs Department immediately opened the car door without saying a word.
"Mr. Tao, please." Manager Que said.
The two get in the car.
The driver started the car immediately and it drove out of the back alley and soon disappeared into the busy crowd.
"Also, there is Brother Gao." Tao Huizong said hurriedly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tao. Mr. Gao has made his own arrangements." Manager Que turned his head to look at Tao Huizong and said in a deep voice, "You two will meet in a while."
He stared at Tao Huizong and asked seriously, "Mr. Tao, can I take the photos?"
"Once I'm there, the photos will definitely be there too." Tao Huizong nodded, but didn't say where the photos were.
Manager Que smiled and said nothing.
"This is your new identity." Manager Que handed a piece of paper to Tao Huizong, "Here are three names, all of which you can use to board the ship."
At the same time, he handed over the boat tickets, "Here are three tickets."
He pointed at the slip of paper and said, "The name at the front is for upper class, the name in the middle is for middle class, and the name at the back is for lower class. You can use whichever you want."
He reminded Tao Huizong, "You must remember the name, don't make a mistake."
Tao Huizong nodded. He stared at the note in his hand and memorized the name firmly.
The Military Control Commission's Manager Que gave three names:
Qu Renhong, Shi Zhicheng, and Le Van Zheng.
"I remember it." Tao Huizong nodded.
Manager Que glanced at Tao Huizong and smiled in his heart.
He noticed that Tao Huizong's eyes were actually fixed on the name Qu Renhong.
After all, he has no training, and his every move is full of flaws.
"What name do you use, Brother Gao?" Tao Huizong asked immediately.
"There are also three names, but we don't know which one he will choose." Manager Que shook his head.
He knew what Tao Huizong was worried about, so he said, "Don't worry, you are on the same boat, you will find each other naturally when you get on the boat."
……
Chinachem Hotel.
A black Ford car stopped at the door.
Hua An saw the license plate and took the initiative to open the door.
"Mr. Gao Qingwu?" he asked.
Gao Qingwu nodded.
"Mr. Tao is already waiting for you in the restaurant." Hua An said.
He extended his hand and said, "Mr. Gao, please follow me."
Gao Qingwu seemed to hesitate for a moment, as he was unsure of the other party's identity.
"Manager Que is talking to Mr. Tao." Hua An said again.
Hearing this, Gao Qingwu finally breathed a sigh of relief, followed the doorman into the hotel, and walked towards the restaurant.
Just at this time, a rickshaw stopped at the entrance of the Cathay Hotel.
A man wearing gold-rimmed glasses got out of the car in a hurry and rushed into the restaurant.
"Hello, sir. Do you need someone to accompany you?" A graceful woman in a cheongsam immediately came up to him and took his arm.
"Get out of here." The man said with a stern look on his face.
"Oh my, sir, why are you so fierce?" the woman said, "It's so scary."
As she said this, the woman threw a coquettish glance and said, "Sir, take me in, and I will do whatever you say."
The man immediately knew what the woman did.
This person is not qualified to enter the Cathay Hotel and is trying to sneak in by hooking up with a male companion.
He was about to get angry again, but something moved in his heart and a smile appeared on his face, "Okay, follow me in."
As he spoke, he pinched the woman's face.
……
Pooh!
Taozi washed his hands under the faucet. His face was livid and he washed his cheeks with water.
On the ground beside him, there was a dead body lying.
The man was strangled to death by him with a rope.
The man was still resisting, and Taozi used her knee to hit his waist. The rope exerted force just enough to stop the sound in his throat from coming out, and it was also convenient for strangling him.
He clapped his hands.
Two SIS agents come in.
"Team leader."
"Clean it up." Taozi said coldly.
"Yes."
The same operation was performed, a windbreaker was put on, and a newly drunk was carried out by two men dressed as servants.
Taozi took out a lipstick from her purse and put on some makeup. Then, the graceful woman, carrying her purse, twisted her waist, with a slightly painful expression on her face, walked out of the main entrance of the Chinachem Hotel, hailed a rickshaw and left.
……
Qiujiang Wharf.
"Mr. Tao, I won't get out of the car to see you off myself." Manager Que said with a smile.
"Thank you for your help today." Tao Huizong said gratefully, "May I ask your real name?"
Manager Que smiled as he listened to Tao Huizong's flowery questions. He could see that Mr. Tao was asking sincerely. He was not trying to find out anything, but really wanted to remember his benefactor's name.
"Que Yun." Manager Que said with a smile. He shook hands with Tao Huizong and said, "I wish Mr. Tao a safe journey."
"Thank you." Seeing that Manager Que was unwilling to reveal his name, Tao Huizong felt a little sad, but he also expressed his understanding. He shook hands with the other party and said sincerely, "Please take care of yourself."
Watching Tao Huizong get off the car and queue up to board the ship, Manager Que nodded slightly, and an agent from the Special Intelligence Department also got off the car and followed quietly.
His mission is to protect along the way.
About a quarter of an hour later, a black Ford car drove over.
The door opened.
Gao Qingwu got out of the car.
He waved to the car and walked straight towards the boarding team.
Manager Que was sitting in the car and watching this scene from afar. This man was a diplomat and his every move was quite capable.
He saw another rickshaw passing by the dock, and he vaguely saw Taozi, dressed as a woman, peeking out from the rickshaw's shed. Cheng Qianfan couldn't help laughing, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
……
'President Hoover' ocean liner.
Tao Huizong chose to use the identity of Qu Renhong and used a first-class ticket.
He had considered it carefully. It was not because he coveted the enjoyment of the upper-class cabin. He felt that with his own demeanor and conversation, he did not have the confidence to successfully disguise himself whether using the middle or lower cabin. He was even more worried that he did not have the ability to cope with the inspection in that environment.
Only after finding his bed did Tao Huizong breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he could not calm down as long as the ship had not set sail.
Besides, he was worried that even though Manager Que said Gao Qingwu would be able to find him and reunite with him, there were so many people on the ship that he was a little worried that the two of them would not be able to find each other.
